Dear Julie,
Thank you so much for all you taught us the few days you were here with Jo. I have the pH Miracle book now and hoping to get started. One question (I am sure there will be more), but can you put those pH drops in two quarts of water for all day, or do they have to added fresh each time you get a drink? Thanks again, it was so fun to meet and spend time with you. Judy Macfarlane
Wow… Love your website! So much great information will take a while to explore. Thanks!
I can’t tell you how excited I am to find your site!!!! I have been into health foods for many years and used to manage a health food store. Just in the past few years I got into Robert Young’s book but really, your site will help me sooo much! Thank you so much for doing this. I can’t wait to try your fabulous recipes. May God Bless You for giving out so much and enjoy Vancouver. It is my dream to move there…maybe someday. Thanks again…Chelsea
Hi Ladies!!!
I have been doing the Innerlight program for about 10 months. It has been quite a journey for me. I considered myself a “pretty healthy” person. Oh boy! little that I knew… a lot of the beliefs that I had about health had been challenged. Thank God I have had great
coaches /friends that help me find answers and also encouraged me to educate myself and to do my own research. I have lost some weight (about 14lbs), I feel full or energy. People tell me Im glowing!
I bumped into your blog and I felt related, I also have sisters (two) whom I love with all my heart and soul! I really love the pictures and the creativity of how the information is displayed.The recipes look amazing! (im quite a foodie myself). Your food selection is wider than mine. I follow the alkaline diet more restrictive; some of the ingredients you use here, like agave syrup and some fruits or carrots. But i am definitively very inspired and i will try some of your recipes!!!
Thank You!!!

Hi Juli, sister! There’s nothing like the feeling of “healthy” is there? Way to go! Dr. Young makes the most effective supplements that I have ever used, esp the colloidals. We strive for 70-80% alkaline foods on a daily basis but we do make room for 20% acidic foods that might make up carrots and treats now and then. As long as you balance out each day with enough alkaline foods to buffer the acids we believe this is fine, unless one is ill, or has serious disease, then a seriously strict regime is adapted. I was really strict for about 18 mos as I recovered from my health issues , however I do think it’s okay to zig and zag now and then. Carrots, though sweet, when eaten whole and raw provide natures balanced food that assimilates effectively with it’s own fiber and nutrients as well as the valuable antioxidant Beta carotene and if digestion is optimal and exercise is regular the sugars will be converted to be used for energy by the cells. Our cells do need glucose to be healthy. As for the agave, not so much. I was on the fence for a while about it but now that I am surrounded by nutrition students and profs I am more convinced that it is not a good idea so I will be adjusting my recipes to include other options like stevia or yacon or maple syrup, although all sugar is poison and must be taken very moderately. Thank you for your comments and all the best. Please stay in touch:)
I have finally decided to take control of my eating and drinking and kick start 2012 with a bang. I turned 50 on 21st december 2011 and i know i need change. Years of alcohol and very spicy food is now playing havoc with my body. I have just been diagnosed with Osteo Arthritis in my right hand and the pain is ridiculous. The time has come for CHANGE!! I have purchased the Alkaline cook book but not knowing where to start this off……………should i do the juice feast for 3 days then move into the alkaline 4 week diet?? Can you please assist and also i notice on the juice feast cleanse there are other supplements needed, where can these be purchased please. I am in Australia
Hi Gwendoline, congrats on your new beginning! I also have the Alkaline cookbook, it’s really helpful. In my opinion if you are up for it I would do the juice feast first if you have a few days to chill out and cleanse your body and then begin your new eating regime. It can be quite a radical change for your body so enter with caution or braveness. It is safe but you may experience detox symptoms that could make you feel like you have the flu but this is normal and only happens for some folks. The supplements are at this link here http://www.innerlightinc.com/Family_Wellness.aspx?ID=alkalinesisters. I believe that you can also get them from England, not sure if that is easier. Let me know if you can’t have them sent to you and perhaps I can suggest alternatives that are more available to you in Aussie, however I am very partial to Dr. Young’s specially formulated products and have had excellent success with them. Not all supplements are created equal, nor with a scientist of 40yrs behind them like the Innerlight products. All the best:)
