Dr. Robert Young's lecture in Omaha Nebraska

[essy111]

I love the titles to his books their really on the nail and have humour

[TheFriendlyEngineer]

The cancer societies are the BIGGEST SCAMS in the world today.Oncologists themselves claim that chemotherapy and radiation kills the patient more than the actual cancer.Those people are blatantly fooling and scamming people.The drugs they give are worthless and cause deadly side effects also.

[sweetclaire06]

Unfortunately Kim Tinkham went to her death refusing chemotherapy. She had ALWAYS refused chemotherapy, and stated so very publicly.She completely turned her back on traditional medicine.She instead followed Robert Young's cancer treatments.Go to her web site to read about her cancer story.She died of metastatic breast cancer.

[TheFriendlyEngineer]

Chemotherapy KILLED Kim Tinkham and when she tried a safer approach , it was too late.Oncologists mentioned that chemotherapy kills the patients more than the actual cancer.Its pure quackery and irresponsible.

[sweetclaire06]

@TheFriendlyEngineer Why would you make such a blatant lie?Kim had stated many many times very publicly that she did NOT want chemo,surgery or main stream medical treatment.What ever her reasons, they were HER choices.For you to come along and to make a lie just to try to defend Robert Young is disgusting.Her family would have a few choice words for you and your distortion of reality.Why don't you go and read Kim's own words and then come back here and repeat this lie.

[TheFriendlyEngineer]

@Citizen6035 MD from a real school? LOL Its just that the person graduated from a medical school and is only qualified in drugs and surgery.Dr.Young graduated from the university of Utah.Gabe Mirkin is a known con man and what he wrote made no sense at all.He has no knowledge of nutrition.Let him talk about Actos the drug he prescribes that caused bladder cancer as a side effect.

[Citizen6935]

This guy's "PhD" is from a fake school. He's just a bullshit artist taking advantage of the gullible. Read Gabe Mirkin's article at his site-Acid/Alkaline theory of disease is nonsense". He has an MD from a real school, not a diploma mill like this huckster.

[IPOSER9]

all diseases are caused by acid blood but the acid affects people different according to their genetic weaknesses wich is why we have many disease names but there is only 1 chemical cause

acidic blood

[doyle430]

@IPOSER9 I think you basically agree with Dr Robert Young then.. you seem to have contradicted yourself in your posts, first saying 'Diet Doesnt affect health' and then saying 'greasy or sugary foods over time are not good for you'..

[IPOSER9]

greasy or sugary foods over time are not good for you, eating is not good for you period actually, but the nervous system needs the energy if we could replace eating with a special relaxant we then would be healthier and live longer ,shuving stuff in your gut makes your stomach work and over work but i do agree if your gonna eat might as well make it healthier food

[IPOSER9]

diet dosent really affect health unless you have a weak digestive system wich is a reason some people get fat and dont burn fats .. health food is a craze...blood acid deteriorates health and its important to remove corrosive acid from it but food dosent get into the blood you can smoke and eat greasy fries and still have healthy blood unless you overload on it chronically, meds transmit a vibe but dont get in blood its aka the blood brain barrier

[IPOSER9]

you can only alkalize with a syringe, anything else is fraud people, save your money

[doyle430]

@IPOSER9 save your money from what? he advises to eat green that's pretty sound advice if you ask me

[IPOSER9]

@doyle430 eating a stick of celery will make your stomach pump out way more acid than a slice of bread, anything fibrous is harder to digest so your gut makes even more acid, green and boiled is better when acid counting

[doyle430]

@IPOSER9 I think his theory has more to do with the impact the food has on the quality of blood and the acidic burden on it due to excess sugar/meat rather than the acidity of the stomach.. its at the microscopic level he deals with as far as I can tell.. Im not saying he is right or wrong but it deserves further study for sure.

[IPOSER9]

all the products they sell claiming correction of blood acid through digestive means is pure utter bullshit for profit

[IPOSER9]

you CAN alkalize the blood and achieve health, but the bullshit behind this is that you CANT alkalize blood through drinks and foods ,no matter what,.see if the contents of your stomach got into your blood you would die from acid overload just by drinking a glass of orange juice.

[mrtruthforever]

@IPOSER9 You don't differentiate between the acid of the stomach, which is needed for the breakdown of food & the pH of the food itself. According to your thinking, that the body's digestive chemical processes would ill-effect the body because the body does'nt differentiate between itself & food. Why don't the digestive acids which breakdown foreign protein decompose the stomach? One of nature's mircales is the body's ability to distinguish between a foreign substance & the body itself.

[bennett5058]

does anybody know the ash ph of raisins/ if they are alkalizing, thx

[JesusKrispies]

Congratulations, Dr. Young, wherever you are—your sham pseudoscience just killed Kim Tinkham. I'm sure you're quite proud of yourself.

[doyle430]

@JesusKrispies That's an unfair comment, cancer killed Kim Tinkham, the work this guy has done has had a lot of success and brought well being to many people and as such deserves recognition and further study. If someone is ill, gets chemo on the advice of an oncologist then gets worse and dies, I assume you you would accuse the oncologist of also being a sham and the architect of there death.. I can understand why people seek alternative treatments

[JesusKrispies]

@doyle430 No, it's not unfair at all. Dr. Young's pseudoscientific scam bullshit convinced her not to seek medically sound, scientifically-verifiable treatment for her cancer, which then killed her. He conned her; she died because of it.

[doyle430]

@JesusKrispies I disagree, I think she died because of her illness, you cant prove any other treatment would have been anymore successful.. statistically the success rate for radiotherapy isn't great either. There have been many who have done well on such 'Pseudoscience' programs in the past including Brian Clements idea of living foods.. we need to start studying things properly as a society and taking them into consideration before outright denying them due to one failure..

[TheFriendlyEngineer]

@doyle430 Some people here are spreading false and pure lies.Kim died from the quackery and scams of allopathic treatments.The chemotherapy and radiation have caused more deaths than the actual cancer itself.The drugs are just to "sell" and have never have any positive results.All bogus and the risks are high.They should look into Conrad Murray aka quack who KILLED Michael Jackson.

[doyle430]

you are very naive, Michael Jackson wanted a doctor who would feed his addiction, he paid him handsomely and would have had it no other way.. the doctor just did his bidding, he was ethically in the wrong but Michael played his part

[sweetclaire06]

@JesusKrispies Found this testimonial on YOUNGS blog.from Felix "I found the answer to my HIV infection. I concluded that I was not infected, nor ever infected. Therefore, I was going to stop this medication, alkalize my body, detoxify my body and live a better life with no anti-retroviral drugs. He went on Young's pH miracle diet and claims he NEVER had AIDS to begin with. He even says his libido is returning! Yikes I hope he's practicing safe sex,or Young will have claimed 2more victims!

[sweetclaire06]

@doyle430 Yes, cancer did kill Kim Tinkham. This was because she refused treatment that could have saved her. Sad, but it was her choice.

[irrah77]

@Americant47 Well said !! and I am not even American.

[Millard97]

I have him on Facebook

[doyle430]

There are so many contradictory theories out there its impossible to know who is right.. I know of scientist who have spoken out against the alkaline theory and who warn against cutting out animal fats from a diet.. who is right, who knows??? at the end of the day they all get rich selling books, I would say look for the credible scientists who have had there work peer reviewed, at least then they have rigiroiusly used the scientific method to backup there research.

[sweetclaire06]

@doyle430 You are on the right track. There are thousands of scientists who have devoted their lives to studying and researching human biochemistry and nutrition. Most have not written get rich books to sell their ideas. These are the minds one should look to for information. Not some guy with mail orde,r online degrees preaching some theory that we can change our blood pH by what we ingest. This flies in the face of all PROVEN scientific knowledge of the last 150 years.

[doyle430]

@sweetclaire06 I have looked more into Dr Robert Youngs work and I do have to admit he does put an awful lot of effort into research to his credit. I was just frustrated at the different information out there. He has given lectures at Harvard university on his theories and it is still in its infancy. The problem with his work is it is a real deviation in thinking about the human body, a different paradigm altogether so it is difficult to see outside of the box for a lot of people

[tellsac]

This is meant for 0ashleylee0 who continues to slander alternative medicine without any evidence whatsoever and envies Dr.Young's success.This person is an accomplice of Stephen Barrett MD,who was sued for defamation of character,trying to attack naturopaths.0ashleylee0 speaks on googling blood analysis? The sites were created by Stephen Barrett,how ironic lol con artists like MD's suck people try of their money,quacks and voodoo medicine

[idhanji1]

COOKED FOOD and MEAT contain little to no digestive enzymes, filling your colon with dead food.

Big Pharma will do anything they can to shut guys like these down, and i do agree that he is kind of a douce for the money he is charging, but that doesn't make what he is saying any less true. seriously, just use common sense, and research the rest of the net to see what everyone else is saying about the importance of a mainly alkaline diet.

[sweetclaire06]

@idhanji1 Are you saying uncooked foods contain DIGESTIVE ENZYMES?

[idhanji1]

It takes 32 cups of water to make up for 1 cup of a carbonated beverage. Your BLOOD ALWAYS needs to be PH balanced. if it falls even .2 you coma and die, so in order to keep PH balanced, it will strip alkalinity to the rest of your body.

Acidic Conditions triggers fermentation. Your cells naturally respond to their environment, and decide to COMPOST early.

[idhanji1]

Uh. How bout people use common sense. Honestly, it doesn't TAKE ridiculous scientific research to understand why the body would response badly to a hyper-acidic condition. Just look at whatever acids you put it your body.

[Krebiozen23]

Your metabolism produces thousands of times more acids than any foods. Your body generates 20,000 mmol of acids a day, much more if you exercise vigorously and gets rid of it easily through your lungs and kidneys. A liter of Coke contains about 3 mmol of acids, and 4 ounces of beef generates 8 mmol of acids. Only very sick people's bodies are acidic.

[sandhedomsundhed]

@Krebiozen23 : Do you have links or reseach to back it up, if so i would lvoe to see it. thanks!

[0ashleylee0]

Sure, do a google search for "Live Blood Cell Analysis Scams." You will find plenty evidence! Also, after his 96' escapades, he still continued: In 2001 he was again charged with felony. He was arrested three times for felony; later in 01' he was charged with a felony in Utah, after a woman suffering from cancer alleged that he told her to stop chemotherapy and use one of his products to treat her cancer instead; later a judge ordered Young to stop drawing blood or risk being denied bail.

[dukenthaylor]

when you researched that woman's (the alleger's) background, what evidence did google find?

and when you researched the polygamists and child rapists in Utah who are not charged with those crimes, what evidence did google find?

and when you researched the thousands of testimonials of people who improved their health following Dr Young's advice, what evidence did google find?

and when you typed 'SCAM' behind ANY IDEA THAT YOU BELIEVE IN, what evidence did YOUR google search find THERE?

[0ashleylee0]

Again, please do the research yourself. Your health deserves it! This man is a fraud. His credentials are through correspondence and non-accredited schools. In 96' under a plea bargain, Young pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of attempted practice of medicine without a license. His "blood analysis" is a proven scam. He will see you for an evaluation for $9950. Go to his retreats for $15,000. Purchase his products with his photos on all of them. This is one, slick snake-oil man.

[Catherine8here]

This maybe so, but I think he is excellent. Lets forget about money, and just listen to him . I think he has alot of good to teach us, a plant based diet of bout 65% and 35% protein probably is best. He expects people to eat mainly all veg and sonme salmon. He is saving lives, and certificates are not everything. His book is excellent and so are his lectures, other people say the same thing. This is my view point.

[governmentisamonster]

and the American Medical Association has all the answers? He was set up by the research the whole story. Please provide me with the proven scam evidence.

[mrphixer]

So, please stop trying to recruit more lemmings to the methodized slaughter of humanity with your close minded, dangerously harmful posts. You may find the clarity will improve your sleep and ease your conscience.

[mrphixer]

There are thousands of 'first person" testimonials touting the benefits of Dr. Young's information and bragging about their reversals of diseases their doctors told were not possible, leaving them with no hope. And, believe it or not, the ones with the fastest recovery are the ones brave enough to forego the toxic medical treatments in the first place.

[mrphixer]

May you find enlightment in time to save lives like Dr. Young does each and every day. I would rather that be the case than leave you forever with the alternative so called "do no harm" medicine, fraught with deception and corruption that is the true evil "profit driven" machine. Expand your mind. Seek wisdom from beyond your limited knowledge.

[Krebiozen23]

Dangerous nonsense. If you look closely at the cancer cases that were 'cured', they all had conventional treatment or didn't have cancer in the first place. There is no scientific evidence for any of this, and plenty that disproves it. People with cancer are no more acidic than vegans. "Dr" Young clearly doesn't have the first idea about biochemistry or physiology and is making a lot of money out of gullible idiots. Just eat less junk, more fruit and veg, get some exercise, same results.

[Catherine8here]

I would say eat no junk, exercise, fruit, veg, but how about coffee, alcohol, tea and other acidic foods? I believe that cancer patience (some vegan ones) can be high in sugars/acidity. I do not like the word cure though, symptom free is better.

[steinsteel]

Robert Young has alot of good points.But hes a money machine.Hes making alot of money on desperat people.His produkts are all to high in price.Its disresmectful beahaveiour.

[dukenthaylor]

These 'desperate people' reversed their illnesses! Better this honest microbiologist make a few bucks helping such people now, than Big Medical, Big Media, and Big Pharma (over the last 100 years) make collective TRILLIONS to keep the "other-inclined" POOR (from ASTRONOMICALLY-HIGHER drug, insurance, and care costs), CONFUSED (by doctors addicted to harmful paradigms that reward them, and the media who spin-sell their 'authority'), and SICK (with NO PROGRESSS and NO EXPLANATION WHATSOEVER)!

[paullie6719]

Dr Young, please give us the science behind your theory that the body need 1 liter of water per 30 lbs of weight?

[Catherine8here]

I think he does suggest we drink too much water. Too much water can help nutrients to come out of us and veg uices maybe better than tap water with drugs/toxins in, and 'plastic bottled' water.

Science through research is vital, I agree completely.

[vijaynaidoo]

its no mystery,,,,,,when you look at metabolism, most of the end products are acidic rather than alkaline, our bodies are better adapted at getting rid of acid

[rsuesakul]

. randy suesakul .

[sunblossomrecords]

We love this way of eating and we have experienced many health benefits as a result. Greg is sprouting mung, lentils, alfalfa, radish, and peas every day. We LOVE the food. We've noticed that sweet foods no longer have the hold on us that they used to - they don't even taste that good anymore, compared with raw, living food.

[yeeri]

"Dr" has received his doctorate from a correspondence school - check it out "Dr." Robert O. Young lacks legitimate credentials according to National Council Against Health Fraud - ohh did I mentioned that he was also charged with felony (2 x) in the State of Utah??? Truth can sometimes have a very ugly head - check it out yourself...

[letshearthetruth]

Yerri,

It would appear that you are far more interested in trying to discredit the messenger rather than learning about his important message. Even in Thailand we realize the importance of his work. His critics will all be forgotten in time and only his work will remain as an everlasting truth.

[taragirl9]

People can find positive and negative things in everything.  The kind of person you are is revealed when you focus on the negative vs the positive! We appreciate Dr Robert and Shelley Young and believe they are impacting people all over the world to improve their lives. We are more valuable when we are making better choices for ourselves, others will notice and will want the same thing...God Bless!

[PurelyLight]

if you can do this diet it will be the most amazing thing youve ever done, I did this for seven years but sad to say I got under stress and fell off of it, my allergies are back got the flu this year and have gained 15 pounds. If you have a chronic illness you will not recover fully until you deal with your alkalinity.

[wheelerteam]

I've lived this theory and it works for me! 17 years of arthritis in my shoulder joint, Carpel tunnel syndrome and Asthma since age 5. I no longer snore, I have more energy than when I was 18. I take no medication!. I've converted a number of ill people and friends and it has changed their lives as it has mine. But there are always sceptics and they have their agency to choose.

[thinkinglocically]

Mussaheem, you just don't get it. There are no pharmacutical cures for degenerative diseases now or in the future... Listen carefully to what this man is saying.

[phmiracleliving]

The history of many innovations, both in medicine and in other areas of endeavor, indicate that the innovators are often erratic, unsystematic, and difficult to deal with. The quality controllers often regard the work as of poor quality and not worth publishing or noting. The only problem is that the quality controllers, while exquisite in their crossing of t's and dotting of i's, rarely discover anything that matters.

Dr. David F. Horrobin

[Mussaheem]

Before making health claims you need to conduct double blind trials, published in peer reviewed journal etc. did he do that?

when I hear somebody say things like "miracle" "secret", use annecdotes to prove things..etc it is red flag for me. science doe not work like, that am skeptical.

of course it make sense to eat vegetables, fish etc. and avoid fats, suggars...this is known, saying it is to do with ph is confusing correlation with causation.

[randasites]

Hi Mussaheem, Well, I think you will agree with me that one of the greatest scientist of our time was the great Albert Einstein, the same one who said: 'There are only two ways to live your life. One, is as though there are no miracles. The other is as though everything is a miracle.'  We think we know, but a whole universe is there to be discovered

[Mussaheem]

Einstein did not stop there, as true scientist he submit his research for publication to be examined by others, even proposed experiments to validate /falsify his new theories (famous eclipse experiment). Thousands of scientists independently tested his theories since. Sure he had his poetic moments, when he talks about miracle he is talking about the mysteries of the universe, he sure wasn't trying to sell books/seminars/products.

[randasites]

Who said that Dr. Young has not submitted his ideas for examination? Unfortunately is a Dr. does not agree with the current medical way of thinking then he or she is out of the game...as simple as that! Hundreds of orthodox and natural doctors have tried to prove their point by doing like the protocol suggest but anything that suggest natural means to prevent or cure modern diseases then is ridiculed or suppressed. If life would be that simple!

[randasites]

About selling products...well, I guess we don't see doctors as products sellers, after all they just prescribe medicine to us...or do they? Although I can't include all doctors, but it is common practice in America for 'BIG PHARMA' to bribes doctors, all done behind scenes. An yet it is ok for for those multi billions dollars company to pay to doctors to promote their stuff which ALL have NASTY side effects. Tell me of a medication that does not have some sort of side effects...

[randasites]

Most people are living in a dream world where they belief everything is there to save them. Most people belief that the solution of our growing health problems lies in the hand of BIG PHARMA. Most people suffering from serious illness are just crossing finger in the hope that the pharmaceutical industry will come with the miracle pill to save their lives...and guess what...

[Mussaheem]

I guess what ma asking for is just evidence, and everywhere I looked in the web, it sounds like a sells pictch with all the testimonies etc.

[dukenthaylor]

People reversing stage-4 cancer, and you're being glib? Have you even READ his pH Miracle book? I HAVE! It is ALL fact and PURE science, based on the work of another respected microbiologist, Dr Antoine Bechamp, who was discredited/IMPOVERISHED by con-man/CHEMIST Louis Pasteur, who created a pseudoscience to SELL HARMFUL DRUGS! Well, I guess the con-man did his job a little too well, when a scientist like yourself won't acknowledge FACTS: disease CAN'T exist in an alkaline environment!

[randasites]

Hundreds of new medications are brought to the market every year. Never before in history of mankind has there been so much medication yet disease is on the increase despite so much 'scientific' advancement. I think is time for BIG reflection instead of more medication. Why is it that doctors fail to prevent disease? The answer is simple, because they do not know the real causes of them! Plus those Docs who do try to tell the truth usually get 'shot down' and shut-up by the "Pharmafia"!

[randasites]

Dr Young's work is not just 'new theory' he has spent decades working on it and now has 1000's of folk who will testify to the beneficial effects of alkaline diet therapy. This may not be a 'double blind' trial BUT isn't it being 'a bit blind' to keep citing this approach that has mostly produced (often only marginally effective) 'palliatives' for SYMPTOMS and very few real cures? NOT that Pharma cares why 'cure' people hence lose your customers -- pharmaceuticals prioritise commerce NOT cures?

[Mussaheem]

Am scientist myself though in a different discipline, and I don't recognise the conspiracy picture you are painting. it is not about agreeing or not agreeing either something work or does not. if his suplements can stop prostate cancer let test it openly, no anecdotes, just 1 large rondomized double blind study. scitific journal crave novel ideas, if they get proven it is in their own benefit.

[randasites]

To mwserusa.

So pseudoscience? What about the medical system as we know it today, aren't they pseudoscience? If we observe closely and without prejudice, we wont fail to understand that the science behind the medical system is based on pseudoscience!! . Do your homework before commenting in such negative way. I personally know two people healed from cancer using the PH Miracle! That's science to me.

[Mussaheem]

randasites: if u think modern medecine is pseudo-science than next time you have an nasty infection avoid those pseudoscientific antibiotics.

[randasites]

A good point Mussaheem! I never take antibiotics; they screw up all the 'good' bacteria as well as the 'bad' and cause more problems than they solve. In extremis they MAY SOMETIMES be useful as last resort/necessary evil... BUT NOTE: If your body is Alkalized then the 'terrain' won't support disease in the first place...hence you don't need such toxic interventions. (You should check out the history of Louis Pasteur who admitted his mistakes on his deathbed, TOO LATE for modern medicine though!)

[Mussaheem]

Nobody is advocating taking antibiotics for breakfast. I myself haven's taken them for years. And I agree that eating greens vegs, and exercising will minimise chances of disease that it what science says as well. The explanation he is giving about alkalinity and stuff is a bit over simplified, biology is a bit more complex then that. I am cool with people taking his stuff it wont harm, but it is not science

[randasites]

Occam's razor, coined in the 14th-century, states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. In Latin as the lex parsimoniae ("law of succinctness"): "entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem", or "entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity"...OR "All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best."

[Mussaheem]

I agree that's how sience works anyway, but it is not established that this model explains any let alone all biological observation, even less established that it can make any predictions. The day a serious study is conducted and replicated, I'll be the first to adopt it :-)

[mwiserusa]

Sounds like pseudoscience to me. His medical philosophy at a high level is good, but the Ph stuff is a lot of ideas with no proof. Anecdotes are fun, but worthless in the medical context.

[eftnan]

Otto Warburg was given a Nobel Prize for discoveries that included cancer existing only in low (~6) pH condition. Another part of that discovery was that cancer is a condition where oxygenation is replaced by fermentation. Fermentation can only exist in the presence of sugar. That was over 70 years ago. Every doctor knows it.

[duffyshome]

This guy is so knowledgable and I love all the videos.

[acechamp69]

this works and you feel great on it

[lettuce21st]

I have been applying this mans advice and it works!!

[goog1etube]

Excellent piece of knowledge
