I can buy that - though it would still need to be proved. It sounds like a reasonable proposition.
What I don't see is the evidence for why this particular parameter should be singled out as a marker. |
What kind of proof do you desire? For example, for weight loss you can pickup Dr. Young's book pH Miracle for Weight Loss and he has dozens of examples of people who went on the diet and lost varying amounts of fat on the diet after 12 weeks. I believe on Dr. Young's site there is also a video from a TLC special on cancer, showing a girl who had cancer go on his diet and then she goes back for another test and her doctor is really happy with the results.
Tony Robbins who makes $500 Million per year was diagnosed with a tumor in his brain a few years back which led him on a massive search to find out what health really is. With MILLIONS of dollars in resources at his fingertips he interviewed and scrutinized doctors from all around the world. He was basically looking for the "ultimate healthy diet". All this research later his conclusions are taught in his program "Living Health" which is basically 90% based on Dr. Young's teachings with some other stuff mixed in from Deepak Chopra etc.
Keep in mind that prior to meeting Dr. Young, Tony was already eating quite healthy but after years of doing public speaking on-stage all day his "batteries" felt like they were running out and he had diminishing energy. Once he alkalyzed his diet everything changed and he got his energy back.
In reality, the only way to really understand the diet is to study it, and then to try it out yourself and see how your body reacts. Dr. Young also has an email newsletter which is free and he'll email you something almost every day talking about the diet. Every few days I get something and he always shows examples of all kinds of different scientific studies and research around the world that is slowly but surely proving exactly what he's been teaching all along.
