Modern agriculture and food-preservation methods have done serious damage to the human diet. The detrimental effects on the human body caused by acidic wastes from processed food and chemical additives are myriad. By-products of the foods we eat, acidic wastes are the common denominator in all degenerative diseases. When acidic wastes accumulate, they can cause organs to malfunction and break down. Balancing the body's acid-alkaline pH factor is a dynamic way to improve health. The Acid-Alkaline Balance Diet explores this exciting new treatment in alternative medicine.

Based on Eastern medicinal practices, The Acid-Alkaline Balance Diet advocates a sensible food-combination program in conjunction with herbal medicine therapies to balance the positively charged acidic particles in the body with the negatively charged particles. This simple plan can aid in curing a wide range of medical problems including:

• arthritis
• lung disorders
• insomnia
• kidney disease
• alcoholism
• and much more

Organized by medical condition, this book makes it easy to quickly find the help and advice you need. There's also a practical test you can administer to help determine your metabolic type: grain eating, meat eating, or balanced.

"Anyone wanting to slim down while staying healthy and balanced will find this book a perfect pathway of information, insight, and support. Each chapter focuses on common problems, from indigestion to disease, to provide uncommon solutions that work. Anecdotes help those who struggle with these issues to know they are not alone. This book is one of the best guides to getting rid of excess fat and achieving a new lease on life."
