This is one of the most informative, eye-opening books I have read - EVER - concerning health and diet !
Having reached the ripe old age of 82, I have been trying to deal with most of the health problems inherent in my life-time, and coming to my attention as symptoms of "old age" - mental lapses, inflammation in various parts -ankles, feet, etc.- urine leakage, forgetfulness, raised blood pressure, slowly rising glucose count, etc : ( ! !
I ran across recommendations on trying the Alkaline Diet, purchased Dr. Young's THE PH MIRACLE, and then found this, his SICK AND TIRED book. This is THE BEST ! ! This book advocates balancing your body's biochemistry by first investigating and explaining what that is, and it is entirely different than the explanations offered by today's allopathic medical societies. It is an explanation and clarification of Antoine Bechamp's theories of mycrozyma, and their relationship/interaction in bodily functions and development. To understand what these are, and to work with them in the pursuit of health is the purpose of this book. It explains the concepts of the acid/alkaline balance of the body - what that balance has to do with our health and well-being, and what we can do to achieve the proper balances, and subsequent healthy states.
It is the most revealing, understandable, and workable life-style I have had the pleasurable experience of addressing.
The results? No more mental lapses or forgetfulness, no more swelling, lowering glucose counts, lowered blood pressure, and I am no longer a "leaky old lady" !
Good luck, and good reading !

Sick and Tired? Reclaiming Your Inner Terrain has been a very real eye opener. Written by a medical doctor, this book is altogether easy to read and understand. It has information not found in contemporary medical books regarding the formation and eradication of various diseases in all forms. With live and dried blood analysis of healthy blood and diseased blood to visually explain his reasoning, not only does Dr. Young tell you how disease is formed, he tells you and shows you step-by-step exactly how to eliminate it from your system once and for all, and never worry about it again. Which disease? You pick: cancer, diabetes, heart disease, candida, allergies--they're all in there. Dr. Young also explains which foods heal; which do not. Also how to combine food for optimum health, and there are lots of recipes, too, so you'll never get bored with the same old thing day after day. You don't realize just how sick and tired you are until you realize just how good you can feel after being on this program. This isn't a diet; it's a way of life. Oh, and as for being overweight? When you start this program, you don't have to count calories. You eat plenty and the weight still comes off, since this is an alkaline-based diet, and your body doesn't have to hold on to that fat any longer. Try it; you won't regret it!

I have been reading about health and nutrition for years and I have never come across a text that is so eye opening regarding the root causes of disease, i.e. degenerative diseases and cancer. While some of the concepts are challenging, Dr. Young has found a way to explain this neo-medical language in a way that is readable for the average layman. It has opened my eyes to the realization that real health is based on four things: 1. pH balance 2. elector-magnetic charge of our cells 3. Toxicity in the body 4. nutrition. Dr. Young has connected so many dots for me regarding true health, true health must begin within ourselves at a cellular level. These eye opening discoveries that have been suppressed by our medical schools, due to pharmaceutical control, has made me realize that modern medicine is participating in one of the most social injustices towards humnaity in our modern times. Thank God for these doctors, including Dr. Young who have taken upon themselves to really look at the pathology of disease from within the cells, via molecular physiology and micro-anatomy to explain what is casing disease, it is based on our inner terrain. I believe that our current state in health care cannot continue to go on and will eventually bottom out in the future. It is my hope that this facinating discussion of microzymian evolution will become the focus of our current medical model in the future, so that the practice of medicine is about disease prevention; rather than, symptom treatment. We must begin to participate in this revolutionary model of health and wellness and it will be up to the people to take it upon themselves to do so. I believe that until we participate in this revolutionary paradigm shift, many people will die unnecessarily and prematurely. May God bless Dr. Young and other physicians who are the real geneouses of medical science and health. Dr. Young keep up the good work, you are truely a health and wellness icon and prophet in our modern times.

Loved this book, especially the history part in the beginning explaining "terrain theory" and why this information has been largely withheld from the general public. I bought this book after I'd had a live-blood analysis done because they show before and after pictures of live blood analysis in case histories before and after going on this program. Scientific proof. Yes there's even a case history of recovering from cancer. The cure for cancer has already been discovered, even implemented and documented by several testimonials that are available to anyone who will look. Big Pharma is looking for a "DRUG" to cure cancer that's why they haven't found the cure yet because the cure is not found in drugs but in a wholesome lifestyle with healing foods - its a nutritional issue. Sick & Tired explains the difference between "terrain theory" and "germ theory" and the importance of maintaining a healthy inner terrain for optimal health.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a scientific explanation to the cure to all illnesses
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 23, 2013
I don't often write reviews.
I don't have "a way with words" and writing is not something I enjoy doing.
But I couldn't possibly not review this book.
Dr Robert Young does a great job at explaining what to do if you want to enjoy great health, and if you want to thrive rather than survive, and he gives all the research to show that he know what he is talking about.
The idea behind the book is that all health is related to the health of our blood. If the bloody is healthy, then we are healthy. The reason for this is that, everything in our body starts at the cellular level, so if we take care of our cells, then everything they will produce will be healthy. It's obvious.
Dr Young explains that there is a very simple way of ascertaining whether or not our blood is healthy or not, and that's test its PH level. If the PH is acidic, we have some work to do. If the PH is alkaline, you're already doing great.
Every food has a PH level too, oranges for example are very acidic, whilst cucumbers are highly alkaline.
Like paying money into your bank account, add some alkaline foods to get back into the black and you'll feel tons better for it.
I used to suffer from CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). I had been laying on a sofa for almost 4 years not knowing which way to turn. I had all the symptoms, from the muscle pain to the unrefreshing sleep to the mind fog to the debilitating low energy levels. I literally was unable to get up, even sit up, often I wouldnt be able to hold my own glass of water.
Doctors were no use, and simply said CFS can last up to 10 years and there is no cure or treatment.
I then went on the alkaline diet for about 20 days and I was cured.
I am not the only one. I know of many others who have reversed diabetes, CFS , even cancer just using food, water and oxygen.
Absolutely worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a cure
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 24, 2005
I came to this book in desperation after suffering from chronic sinusitis for years. Anyone who has suffered from this miserable condition will know just how much it can blight your life.
Antibiotics work initially to check this condition but after a while the infection becomes totally resistant, after which the doctors will say "sorry, nothing more we can do". At which point you're on your own.
I spent a fortune on various alternative solutions such as herbalism, salt irrigation, colloidal silver, etc., none of which did any good.
Then I found this book. I don't care how it's written, how poor the illustrations might be, or how cranky the author might appear. For me IT WORKED! By following the dietary advice in this book I am now cured. I can breathe, I can sleep at night, no more pain in the teeth and face, and no more foul gunk in the sinuses.
I'm quite sure many other diseases can be cured by following the author's advice and ditching the junk food and non-food that western society finds so appealing.
Worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars SERIOUSLY INFORMATIVE
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 9, 2017
Very informative about cause of many illness. It is all makes perfect sense. I got some serious insight about why modern medicine and modern doctors are not capable of treatment any illnesses and only can < and allowed!> to treat symptoms with chemical crap produced by big farma. Which is obviously absolutely useless. < not to mention such treatment makes every illness worse>.
I highly recommend to read this book to everybody who does not want to be sick despite of all effort of the modern medical industry.
