Reader Reviews
The "Acid Alkaline Balance Diet" is a great source of useful information, filling many of the gaps left by other authors of books on nutrition. Felicia Kliment gives a balanced discussion of other approaches, and demonstrates why her program works. She presents her encyclopedic knowledge in a way that is easy and enjoyable for the reader to absorb. This book goes well beyond what the title would suggest. It gives us an informative overview of how individual needs should determine diet. It also gives detailed directions in how to accomplish this. There are different metabolic types, possible food allergies, etc. We get to understand the inner workings of our bodies. For example, the discussion about enzyme activity in the digestive process, cuts through the confusion that I had in this area. In Part II, we get an analysis of various ailments and diseases, with suggestions on how to treat these conditions by the intelligent intake of the proper foods for each individual case. We are also taught how to prevent and cure the toxicity in our bodies, which is the primary cause of degenerative disease. I was pleasantly surprised at the scope and the detail of this book. I also found helpful the summary/list of clear suggestions that she included in various sections. Vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other modalities are listed in an easily accessible format. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a balanced and useful approach to healing diets.
