Product Description

Not science fiction, but a scientific fact! This book is the first common sense scientific explanation of the aging process and "how to" reverse it. The nutrients that we deliver to our cells burn with oxygen and become acidic wastes after giving energy to our body. The body tries its best to get rid of these acidic wastes through urine and perspiration. Unfortunately, our lifestyle, diet and environment prevent our body to get rid of all the wastes that it generates. Gradually, these leftover acidic wastes accumulate somewhere within our body. Since acid coagulates blood, the blood circulation near the waste areas becomes poor, causing all kinds of degenerative diseases to develop. The author defines the aging process as the accumulation of non-disposed acidic wastes within the body. According to this theory, the reduction of accumulated wastes is re verse aging. This book explains how some of the adult degenerative diseases are caused by too much acidic wastes, and describes the various scientific devices and methods to reduce these wastes without any harmful side effects. These devices and methods are being wid ely used in Japan. Alkaline water makers (water ionizers) have been in existence in Japan for more than 40 years. Many in the alternative health industry of water ionizers, magnet and far-infrared devices regard this book as the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference book of its kind in the English language. It is a "must read" for all who are health-conscious.

From the Publisher
Since it was first published in 1991, over 30,000 copies are in circulation, strictly by word of mouth. This edition is the latest printing (January 1998) with a new cover that reflects the importance of the balance of acidity and alkalinity. The contents have not been changed.

From the Author
As a scientist and an inventor, I discovered the simple scientific truth about aging. And the real delight is to find out that the aging process can be reversed! I wrote this book to share my discovery with others in the hope of reducing some of the mis ery of aging. Although the book tends to be technical, it is written in a simple and easy-to-understand manner for the general public. In the eight years since its publication, and with several thousand copies in the hands of medical professionals, nobod y has challenged my theory of aging and reverse aging. I receive telephone calls from all over the world thanking me for writing this book. There are many offers to translate it into other languages.

From the Back Cover
FINALLY SCIENCE DISCOVERS THE SECRET OF HEALTH AND LONGEVITY!
The accumulation of acidic waste products within our body is the process of aging. Therefore, removing old, stored waste is reverse aging. When we think of "health," we think of diet and exercise. Diet and exercise help our body dispose of waste products. However, they are very difficult to stay with and they are not as effective. Now science has made it simple and easy to remove acidic waste products that are within our body, and the method is more effective than diet and exercise. The true "Fountain of Youth" was right under our nose all the time. Learn the scientific processes and devices available for "Reverse Aging." No need to accept "Aging" as a fact of life. Anybody can do it!

Sang Whang is an engineer, scientist, and inventor with many US patents. His fields of expertise span many different areas such as data communication devises (modems), electronic filters, chemistry, water, cornea measuring devises, multi-focal contact le nses, etc. An improvement of his own health without medicine, diet or exercise caused him to investigate the phenomenon and led him to the discovery of his theory of "Reverse Aging."

Great review of the science behind alkaline diets
This was one of the first books I picked up after reading Dr. Young's "The pH Miracle", which had left me with more questions than answers.

What I loved about this book was the way Mr. Whang explains - in plain English anyone can understand - the chemical and physical science that makes alkaline diets work.

If you're looking to understand the science behind alkaline diets, this book is a must-read.

Mr. Whang doesn't approach alkaline balance like most other authors who just tell you to eat this and not eat that. In the first few chapters of the book, he gives the reader the essential understanding of how the human body works - from a chemical perspective. He doesn't make assumptions or rely on annectodal data - he shows the reader how the laws of physics and chemistry affect the chemical reactions inside the human body.

Armed with this information, he then tells the reader how the basic elements of foods (minerals, calcium, phosphorus, etc.) affect the pH of the body. This is the key understanding when it comes to figuring out which foods are acidifying and which ones are alkalizing.

His approach is very straight forward, clear, and matter-of-fact.

He then goes on to show how an acidic lifestyle and diet affects the body, how the body tries to maintain its chemical integrity, and what the resulting strain does, in terms of reactions, diseases, etc.

Mr. Whang's description of diseases and how they come to be is also very interesting. He goes through a long list of diseases, gives specific reasons for each of them (from an alkaline diet point of view) and tells the reader how to reverse them.

He goes a step further in his description of non-medicinal health improvement devices that are mainly used in other countries. Again, giving scientific reasons why and how they work to alkalize the body.

What is missing from this book is a good description of what to do on a day-to-day basis to become alkaline. He only mentions drinking alkaline waters. As a matter of fact, the only book I've found that has practical approach and step-by-step instructions for becomong alkaline (including what to do tomorrow) is this acid alkaline diet book.

Nonetheless, I think Mr. Whang's book is excellent. If you're serious about getting healthy through an alkaline diet, you must to read this book (and also find another book that gives step-by-step instructions for what to do).

The man knows his stuff
While doing an internet search one day, I came across the web site for Dr. Sang Whang. It listed some decent info on the web site, along with a plug for his book. It looked interesting so I decided to give it a read.

I read the book, and have read many other books on acid/alkaline balance in the body. This book I found very informative and right on target, while some of the others I have read beat around the bush. It is interesting what the author states about how acids form after eating even the healthiest foods. When we can't eliminate these acids, is when disease starts to proliferate.

I have been using Alkalife water alkalizing drops and I Must say that it is probably the #1 nutritional supplement I have ever used. It's amazing how good you can feel after only using 2 drops of the stuff in a glass of water. I had been chronically constipated for years, and that alkalized water helps move my bowels better than cascara sagrada, which is an herbal laxative.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is ill, or looking to improve their health.

Water Ionizers are Very Good!
Mr. Whang's book - in my opinion - should be a "must read" for everyone. I have made an extensive study of these machines and their use, have used one myself for over a year and find that my weight has dropped as did Mr. Whang's; and be assured that the alkaline water will indeed "clean you out." One of the caveats in the instructions for use is to be cautious when first using alkaline water as it will cause loosening of the bowels for a short period. I can attest it does clean you out!

The one thing Mr. Whang does not mention is that your water may not work well in an ionizer if it has too much salt or is too hard. Hardness over 200 ppm can give trouble - the solution is to use bottled water with a stand-alone unit and thus get all the benefits of alkaline and acidic water. Also as noted by one of the other reviews, adding alkaline drops to the water you drink is a good thing. It isn't as powerful as an Ionizer but sure beats doing nothing for your health.
