How naturopathy works to establish good health and protect against the toxic causes of illness • Shows how cleansing the body’s internal cellular environment with diets and fasts removes the chief cause of disease • Explains the role played by the acid-alkaline balance in maintaining good health and peak energy Illness does not appear by chance. It is the direct result of the way we live--what we eat and drink, if we have enough physical exercise, and our state of mind. The basic principles of naturopathy recognize this reality, and its treatments are designed to support our present state of good health or to help us get back to it. Christopher Vasey, author of the bestselling The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health, explains that naturopathic treatments do not attempt to cut off symptoms but instead focus on removing toxic causes. All diseases stem from an unbalanced or dysfunctional biological terrain. This occurs when the body’s internal cellular environment becomes clogged with wastes or when it lacks essential vitamins and mineral nutrients. In this naturopathic guide to health and healing, Vasey shows how to remove toxins from the body using diets, fasts, and detoxifying cleanses. He points to the key role played by the acid-alkaline balance in maintaining peak energy and explains what natural supplements to take to restore deficient nutrients in the body. Vasey believes that the greatest part of achieving health is in our own hands. His book provides a comprehensive set of naturopathic tools to help us restore our optimum health.

The human body is a truly magnificent creation. And because of its ability to regulate, balance, repair, and protect itself, the latest scientific research shows that each of us has the capacity to function well for at least one hundred and twenty years. So why do most of us only make it to our seventies? Why are so many of us afflicted with degenerative diseases? And why are the diseases that once only plagued the elderly--heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, and cancer--now increasingly affecting our younger generations? Why does the gift of long, healthy live seem so unattainable. What is it that we are missing? In The Acid-Alkaline Lifestyle, bestselling author Larry Trivieri, Jr. and Dr. Neil Raff provide a simple solution to that very important question. For decades, physicians and medical researchers have used the body's acid-alkaline balance, or pH levels, as a way of determining a patient's overall health status. The problem is that the most accurate and commonly used test used to check acid-alkaline balance--the pH blood test--rarely reveals a shift away from a normal pH reading until acute, life-threatening diseases strike. And by then it is often too late to do anything. While a pH blood test may read normal, what the test does not show is what your body may be forced to do to keep it that way as it combats and seeks to compensate for the excess acidity that inside that afflicts the vast majority of us today. Left undetected, this corrosive buildup of acid set the stage for most of the disease conditions afflicting our nation today. Over the years, a number of books have appeared promoting ways to keep acid-alkaline levels in check through diet and nutrition. But to truly achieve and maintain acid-alkaline balance requires far more than diet and nutrition, alone. And now, for the first time, here is a book that lays out all of the other essential elements for creating vibrant health. The Acid-Alkaline Lifestyle is not simply another book about diet and pH. It's a book about the first and only complete and comprehensive acid-alkaline balancing program of its kind--one that goes far beyond diet and nutrition alone. What the authors have done in this book not only explains the problems caused by excess acidity, but also, and more importantly, spells out the proven safe and effective self-care methods that anyone can use to dramatically improve their health, enhance their sleep, cope with stress, and get the most out of exercise with a lot less effort--all while providing the best nutritional eating plan for balancing pH throughout the body. The Acid-Alkaline Lifestyle provides all the practical information you need to restore and maintain your health and boost your energy so that you can achieve a longer, healthier life--the way nature intended.
