We listen, in response to questions and concerns, such as the following email from David, we have added page 30, Testing Notes, to our third edition of the Home Test pH Kit booklet.

This summer I discovered the home test pH kit. I am now alkaline because of the help from the kit. I live an hours drive from a place that has the kit and was wondering if I can order it from your company and how much it is. My friend is in need to get to alkaline asap and this is one way I can start to help her. She tested so low acid while ago. Thank you for a response. I did not want to wait until morning to call.

I am sure you hear this all the time but... THANK YOU FOR FIGURING THIS OUT!!!!!

I am 41 years old and have suffered from countless symptoms of general 'un-wellness' for most of my adult life. Typical western medicine has only done more harm (antibiotics). Most of my 'un-wellness' I have traced back to systemic candida overgrowth. I was recently diagnosed with abnormal ductal hyperplasia (ADH) a 'pre-cancerous' stage of breast cancer.

I quit my job 6 weeks ago and have been focusing on caring for my self and 'de-stressing', I took the opportunity this morning to go to Whole Foods and found your pH Kit. I can not tell you how many times over the last 15 years I have wondered why there was no easy way to check my pH to help keep the candida in control.

When I told my mom about my 'pre-cancer' she asked me 'so, what caused this?'. I originally told her I would need to take better care of myself and eat better, but I had no idea how I was going to do that, now I have a way to determine what makes my body chemistry work optimally! Your kit provides me the tool I have wondered about for 15 years. Thank you does not seem like nearly enough.

Thank you again. Bless you!

Question
Dear Deborah;

I have a question. I have studied and followed pH balancing guidelines for many years. Recently I have tried to lose a few pounds. The harder I tried, the worse my ph became. I have seen your book and it has always caught my eye. So I bought it realizing that there is a good reason for my dilemma and maybe I would find the answer in your material. I had been using a lot of Bragg's apple cider vinegar to help with the weight, I began to suspect it may not be alkalizing. My trusted advisor at the Natural Market where I shop believed apple cider vinegar to be alkalizing. Your book confirmed my suspicions and now my pH has quickly returned to the healthy range. Thank you so much.

But this all makes me wonder about something else. I am just amazed at how resilient and tuff the body is to put-up with all the abuse that most people put their bodies through. It would seem they should be dead along time ago, but they aren't. Do you have any comments about this apparent dilemma?

Keep up the good work,
Tim,
Benson, Arizona

Answer
Hi Tim,

Thank you for purchasing one of our pH kits. The human body is an amazing miracle of nature. Because of the buffering system we have a lot of alkaline reserves (bones, teeth, tissues to alkalize and fat, cholesterol to neutralize). People ARE dying young. The human body is designed to live to 120 - 140 years, the average life span is around 75. My mother is in a nursing home (she would never listen to me) and trust me, those people in the home are surviving not living. Modern medicine keeps people's hearts beating, and we have confused growing old with becoming more mature.

We live in a culture where people are confused about health. The elderly believe that without medicine they would not be alive. Perhaps they are right. I guess it depends on a persons idea of what being alive means. I am delighted that you have seen for yourself what vinegar does to people. "Experts" can say anything, but the pH paper doesn't lie.

Thank you,
Deborah

I purchased your kit and guide last week and am puzzled by the wide discrepancy between my urine readings (5.6) and saliva readings 7.4 - 7.6. Could you please reconcile and tell me which one is accurate.

Thanks, David Wilkof

Thanks so much for all your information and materials. I keep talking positive about the benefits of watching the pH balance to everyone - It's catching on!

Sincerely, Lily - Oak Brook, Illinois

Just wanted to drop a line and thank you for the help. The products seem to be working.

Thanks, Max Sanders - Fairview, Tennessee

Thank you so much for your caring attitude. As we get older we need to watch for the little red flags and I know that balancing our PH is important. I will visit the website. I thank you again, God Bless you and have a GREAT NEW YEAR.

Sincerely, Gloria

I understand Diabetes very well.......My father is type 1 insulin and my mother type 2 med. I have made it a point to learn about it and how Obesity and Diabetes go hand in hand. It is really close to my heart because of what my father has gone thru. With his triple by pass he had to go on a special diet and between his Doctor and I we finally convinced him the South Beach Diet would be better for him. He is now doing great. He turned 71 last May and he looks so much healthier. It was enough to convince my mother to go on it too since she had heart problems. I had told them both years ago not to go on the Atkins diet but they did not listen to me or anyone else. All the red meats were the problem for them. They ate it like it was going out of style. Now they know better. God be with you in all you do.

I'm so impressed to hear from the "Food Coach" herself! I didn't mean for you to rearrange any of the color blocks. I meant to leave them in the same order and in the same position but just to put the numbers from the top row under those color blocks so that your customers would be able to read the numbers a little more easily.

What fascinated me about your message was the information about alkaline-forming and acidic-forming foods, so the ingestor would consider the ash residue end result after digestion. I tried to explain that as simply as I could to my friend Antoinette Arianna last night by e-mail--not easy. This week I'm meeting with a neighbor who switched from vegetarianism to veganism in June and who has been trying to get her and her husband's urine to the ideal 7.365 alkaline pH level; BUT even though they eat the same things, he's slightly acidic and she's overly alkaline. Me, I've been at the 5.8 pH level for 2 months, so I've got to order your "Feel Good Food Guide" and see what I've been doing wrong. I'm always up for another challenge!

Thanks again for your personal e-mail response.
- My best, Nancy

A big thank you to Deborah and everyone at FeelGoodFood.com!!! Incredible information... How to make it mainstream, is my dilemma. I teach the PH balance info during a nutrition inservice I provide at my Childbirth Assistant training workshops. Your website will now be on the top of my resource list for my students!

Do you have any resources for good nutritional consultant training programs?

Many blessings & with deep gratitude,
- Janine Nugent, Sierra Childbirth Institute

Please pass along to Debbie that her book has been a god-send for us! We use the book regularly and have found it to be the most useful of the many I have purchased - job well done!!!

Thank you Debbie for talking to me and sharing your ideas with me.

Thank you! Rhonda Langley

Thank you very, very much for all the time, effort and love you put into these products. I am excited about my new adventure - cooking has not been my forte.I always take the low road and feed the hubby and not me. I will write down what I eat... I will check back with you next month and let you know how thins are progressing.

Again a million thank yous for all your creative and innovative ideas,
Wendy

Debbie, Good to hear from you. Thanks for being so efficient and getting the test strip out to me so promptly. I really appreciate it.

Take care,

Attn: Marketing Department, I'm enjoying using your Home Test pH Kit to measure my urine pH. I appreciated the information in the booklet about acid/alkaline-forming foods, because I'm trying to alkalize my body to the 6.8 pH level. In my enthusiasm, I've already passed this information on to two people, one of whom already bought theirs!

The dispenser's colors from pH 5.5 to 8,0 are so useful because from pH 5.8 they are in 0.2 increments (as opposed to another product's 2.0 increments) and they tell you what pH number your urine is at. Since it's hard to read the top-row numbers from pH 5.5 to 6.5 because of the projection on the dispenser, it occurred to me that these numbers might be relocated to the bottom of those color blocks.

Thank you for a good product, and I'll keep telling my friends about it!

Sincerely, Nancy

Deborah: Thank you for your phone call this evening. Having just read "the pH Miracle for Diabetes" by robert Young, I am excited about alkalizing my diet in my efforts to improve my health. Finding pH papers here had been difficult until I discovered your "Home Test pH Kit" at our local health food store. There must be a number of people looking for the same product, because I have not been able to find refill supplies since, as they are always sold out. Anyway, I am thankful you sell the pH paper directly and appreciate your call and help with getting items ordered.

Thanks Again,
Kathy Hull, Cincinnati

Hi Deborah and staff,

Thank you for writing your booklet and creating the ph test kit. Both my husband and I are loving it. I am cooking the recipes from it and look forward to purchasing the cookbook as well.

Warm Regards,

Deborah,

Thankyou so much for responding. You don't know what that means to me, ... I understand you are very busy, and know that I so appreciate your taking time to speak with me. Have a lovely weekend...

Pattie

hey, guess what? My dentist's partner was on the radio and all he talked about was how important pH of the mouth is!! They work together teaching other dentists...so i thought it was funny I never heard this from him. Anyhow, thank you so much for getting this word out to so many... i know how important it is!!

i didn't realize that gum disease is mostly due to bone loss and not really the gums wearing away, he said it's from acid!! Interesting to hear this!! =)

Hi we do juice fasting at River Canyon and some of our guests would be interested in your products for PH measurement.
Do you have wholesale prices on the 3 offerings of ph paper ... thanks

Eric

Hi Deborah,
Thank you for your email. I looked at your website and i like the information you have. I am very interested in selling your 2 books, I would like to promote your site however, I am also a distributor of products formulated by Dr. Earl Mindell. I think your book would be a great adjunct to our new facility and educating the public is our #1 priority. I would be interested in having you at our open house celebration on April 17 and would be interested in having you do a book signing. Even though there isn't too much time for me to promote it, i can include it in our open house flyer. Would like to get your comments and would welcome speaking to you Wednesday if you have a chance. Please contact me @ 815-263-3597.

Be Well, Be Great,

Hello:
I purchased your kit, and while it says I should check my urine first thing in the morning, I have one concern....
I take vitamins and minerals normally after dinner and before bed, and I am thinking this might effect my test result as in the morning, my urine is still a dark yellow from the vitamins and minerals.
What would you suggest?
I like the information I read in your booklet, and I'm doing what I can to learn more about taking better care of myself.

Thanks
Sean Lee

My mother has just been diagnosed with colon cancer and it has probably spread to her liver @ the least, she has no health insurance thanks to our "booming" economy, age discrimination, and you name it. My question is, if cancer cannot exist in a body with proper ph, do you in your opinion feel that correcting her ph can help fight it. I of course am terrified of her prognosis and so is she. I realize that you can only offer and opinion but we are grasping at anything, any positivity at all.
Thank you, sincerely,
Jackie Sweis

I appreciate you taking the time to write back. We ALL realize that we need to change our total lives, from the physical to the mental. It isn't going to be easy but her life is on the line and our futures are as well. I have a 4 year old that I want to be around for him as well as my mom. I am scared. But I know that our negative lifestyle is the cause of this. I would like to call you on Monday after mother's day and then I can give my mom's address which I am ashamed to say I don't know by heart. I don't know if I mentioned I bought the ph kit, that's how I got your number. Have a good mothers day and I will call you Monday, her surgery is Thurs.
Thanks again,
Jackie

Deborah, Thank you so much for all the informative books. I am doing really well with the "new" way eating. I think most people would be shocked, you really don't have to give up "taste" to eat healthy! I really enjoyed the Spinach Bake out of The Feel Good Food Guide. Ryann seems to be much better! Thanks again! We really appreciate it!

Deborah,

... thanks for applying your time, energy and God given intelligence in the courageous manner which you have. There is so much carefully packaged, profit motivated, half truth and half hearted BS in the public domain and on the market. I find it inspiring and refreshing when a fellow human takes the time to use what is known as a point of departure to ask deeper questions and seek truer answers to the challenges of the human condition. I'm a Fireman, a captain with the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. In my own small way I try to find better, more effective ways to reach people and teach them to protect themselves from any harmful form of danger that lack of knowledge can devise. I appreciate your contribution to our well being...

Wes Herman, Captain, Santa Barbara Fire Department - April 14, 2003

Customer Review from Amazon.com

Having trouble finding things to eat ? Buy this book!

This is the first cookbook I've found that doesn't contain things I'm allergic to, I can use every recipe in the book! Great for people who have multiple allergies like gluten, corn, dairy, soy, etc.

The recipes are easy to follow, tasty and very healthy. They do, however, involve ingredients like stevia, arrowroot and amaranth flour which may not be easy to get in some places.
