From the Back Cover
Uncover the Secret to Better Health and Wellness
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. Byproducts 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 degenerate. 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, insomnia, alcoholism, lung disorders, kidney disease, 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.
Forget the traditional notions of a well-balanced diet; for many, this well-balanced diet is the cause of various illnesses. Here at last are alternatives for those who have used the "four food groups" strategy of nutrition but still ended up with health problems. Discover how The Acid-Alkaline Balance Diet will help you lead a healthier, longer life.

Reviewer: Lisa McCullough from Seattle, WA USA
This is the best book I've ever read on the impact of diet on health. The author targets the real cause of degenerative disease: acid waste from inappropriate diet. She outlines a simple self test which reveals what foods are appropriate for the individual.
Her diets include all types of foods but in different proportions depending on your metabolic type. Each metabolic type (grain eater and meat eater) is allowed a small amount of foods assigned to the opposite metabolic type. For example, she recommends that the grain eater eat a lot of fish and poultry but that the meat eater eat fish and poultry in much smaller increments. Another example of this is her proposal that the grain eater should consume a lot of green leafy veggies while she emphasizes root vegetables for the meat eater. I like this approach because, by eating all types of food you get the whole range of nutrients the body needs to function properly.
Kliment's book, along with Sang Wang's book, Reverse Aging, which provides good background information on acid alkaline pH factors-- is all the reader needs to take control of his/her body and attain a good state of health and mental well being.
