Alkaline Diet Books for you.

Over the last 22 years we’ve been able to help thousands of people to learn about the advantages of the alkaline diet. So when a client asked us what books were available we thought.. why not a listing of them?

But first.. what is it.. simply?
The alkaline diet basically reinforces good, old-fashioned healthy eating.
The diet recommends eating more vegetables, fruits and drinking lots of water and cutting back on sugar, alcohol, meat and processed foods.

What is alkaline and how does it apply to food?
The pH scale, from 0 to 14, measures how acidic or basic a substance is. For it to be considered alkaline, its pH level needs to be greater than 7.

As we convert food into energy, our body undertakes a chemical reaction that breaks down the solid foodmass. This process leaves an “ash” residue known as metabolic waste, which can be alkaline, neutral, or acidic.

Followers of the alkaline diet believe this residue can affect your body’s acidity. Many diseases thrive in acidic environments, so alkaline ash is considered to be protective.

Our first choice. The Acid Alkaline Food Guide by Dr Susan E. Brown.

We’ve delivered thousands of copies of this book. Why? Because it’s solidly scientific. there’s no woo-woo. The dietary recommendations come from the best source available.

The food lists are grouped well into food types and show the acid or alkaline effect on the body of the food. What makes it stand out is that the science behind it is based not just on the amount of alkaline minerals or acid minerals in a food type, but is based on the known effect on the body of those minerals in that form. This may seem a trivial point but when you see some of the many ‘hearsay’ recommendations on the web for what is supposed to be alkaline-forming foods, you realise the important of this small point of difference.

Alkalize Or Die

By Dr Thomas Baroody

Dr Thomas Baroody’s book was the very first book I ever read on the subject. His quote inspired me then as now. (Ian Blair Hamilton, Founder)
The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause…too much tissue acid waste in the body!
Theodore A. Baroody, N.D., D.C., Ph.D.

Here’s his bottom line theory:
”The reason acidosis is more common in our society is mostly due to the typical American diet, which is far too high in acid-producing animal products like meat, eggs and dairy, and far too low in alkaline-producing foods like fresh vegetables. Additionally, we eat acid-producing processed foods like white flour and sugar and drink acid-producing beverages like coffee and soft drinks. We use too many drugs, which are acid-forming; and we use artificial chemical sweeteners like NutraSweet, Equal, or aspartame, which are extremely acid-forming. One of the best things we can do to correct an overly-acid body is to clean up the diet and lifestyle.

The Alkaline Reset Cleanse: The 7-Day Reboot for Unlimited Energy, Rapid Weight Loss, and the Prevention of Degenerative Disease

By Ross Bridgford

A powerful seven-day, whole-food cleanse to completely reset and reboot your body, targeting the Five Master Systems (endocrine, digestive, immune, detoxification, and pH balancing).

Balance equals life. At base, our bodies make us fighters because the body will drop everything to make balance happen. So when we put one system out of balance, we are essentially making our body fight itself.

The Alkaline Reset Cleanse is a different way of thinking about the body and how we can rapidly replenish, heal, and reboot ourselves back to optimal health. The body's number-one goal is to maintain homeostasis and balance throughout our Five Master Systems: endocrine, immune, digestive, detoxification, and alkaline buffering (pH balancing). But through our dietary and lifestyle choices, we often put our body into a state of emergency. It is this constant state of emergency from which sickness and disease emerge.”
Ross has been advising people on alkaline diet for almost as long as we at AlkaWay have. He knows his stuff.

REVERSE AGING by Sang Whang

Sang visited us here in Australia in 2012, bringing his message of the power of alkaline water. There’s still a video of the meeting we arranged for him here.
We’ve sent out at least 1000 of his wonderful book, Reverse Ageing.

Sang defines the aging process as the accumulation of non-disposed acidic wastes within the body. According to this theory, the reduction of accumulated wastes is reverse aging. This book explains how some of the adult degenerative diseases are caused by too much acidic wastes, and describes the various scientific devices and methods to reduce these wastes without any harmful side effects.
These devices and methods are being widely used in Japan. Alkaline water makers (water ionizers) have been in existence in Japan for more than 40 years. Many in the alternative health industry regard this book as the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference book of its kind in the English language. It is a "must read" for all who are health-conscious.
