The pH of the diet is an innovative way to interact with food. The diet emphasizes the need for balance in the diet of acid and alkaline. This balance will help to maintain a healthy flow through the bloodstream and keep cell growth and development work in optimum levels. By reducing the levels of acid destructive most alkaline with a myriad of benefits can result, namely sustainable energy and good health. Following a simple system of balanced diet along with the evidence of saliva pH levels, we can achieve better health. The main proponent of this alkaline diet is a man by the name of Dr Robert Young.
Dr.Young that heralds a diet that consists of 80% of food production 20% alkaline and acid producing foods will allow people to achieve their healthy body and a healthier life. Through his research Dr. Young has assumed that the optimum pH level of the human body is 7.35. The pH of the spectrum is 1 to 14, with 1 being very acid, and 14 being highly alkaline. With the body turned to moderately alkaline, he argues that people can supplement their diets with more alkaline. Dr. Robert Young points out that a body that has been ravaged by an excess of acid will be more inclined to serious health problems.
Dr.Robert Young began is studies in the early 70s at the University of Utah, where he studied biology and business. He earned as MS in nutrition, a Disc in science, a PhD in nutrition, and a ND from Clayton College of Natural Health during the 90s. Critics of Dr. Young question the validity of the school in which he received his degrees. The impact of his teachings is undeniable; he has helped many people obtain better health through a regimen of increased fruits and vegetables and more water consumption. He also stresses avoiding caffeine and alcoholic beverages to maintain vitality.
He is also a staunch supporter of polymorphism, the belief in the ability of bacteria to morph shape dramatically or to mutate into many morphological forms. This idea has firmly split the microbiologist community into two schools of thought, the pleomorphists who support the claims; and the monomorphists who vehemently dispute them. In the current scientific community the monomorphic perspective of microbiology has emerged as the dominant theory. Modern medical science supports the monomorphic theory of cell development in which cells derive from previously formed cells of the same size and shape.
Dr.Young holds retreats where he educates the patrons on the Alkali Diet as well as a live red blood cell examination in an in-depth microscopy seminar. According to the National Council against Health Fraud Dr. Robert Young pleaded guilty in 1996 to a misdemeanor charge of attempted medicine without a license. He was promised that the charge would be dismissed if he stayed clear for 18 months. Young allegedly had examined blood samples from two women who were seeking nutritional advice.
Critics of his live red blood cell examination conclude that his test have no scientific validity. Dr. Young counters his critics citing many papers and sources validating his claims including Understanding Acid-Base by Benjamin Abele, M.D., a lecturer of medicine at Yale school of Medicine and Clinical Physiology of Acid-Base by Burton David Rose, M.D., a Clinical Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.
According to its website, Dr. Young is a member of the American Society of Microbiologists, the American Naturopathic Association, and a member emeritus of the Connecticut Holistic Health Associations, The Presidents Council at Brigham Young University. He is also a consultant for Inner Light, Inc. and adviser to Dean Lawrence Carter at the Chapel of Martin Luther King, Morehouse College. He was also honored by Professor Lawrence Carter at Morehouse College with an induction into the college academics, as well as placing on the advisory board. The agreement was welcomed by Professor Carter for his efforts in understanding the balance of the chemistry of the body and the effects of this balance on health.
