About the Authors
To Antoine Bechamp. If his profound voice and science had not been silenced,
much of humankind may have been spared the worst aspects of the infectious
and degenerative diseases of the twentieth century.
To our four wonderful and beautiful children: Adam, Ashley, Andrew, and Alex.
And to our new son-in-law, Mathew, and brand new healthy pH Miracle
grandson, CharLee.
And finally to our future—the children who are at the forefront of an ever-
changing and challenging world. It is our hope that the message of the pH
Miracle will be received within their minds and hearts and become the
foundation for a healthier and happier world.

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.
—Sir Isaac Newton
This quote reflects how I personally feel about the men and women who have
had a powerful impact on my life's work and mission. Their gifts of wisdom,
knowledge, inspiration, and encouragement have lead me to the pH Miracle.
The life and research of French scientist and doctor Antoine Bechamp (1816-
1908) set the foundation of my understanding on how matter can take on
different forms and functions, a doctrine he referred to as pleomorphism. If it
had been given the chance, his biological work might have revolutionized
medicine with its profound insight into the nature of life, thus providing the
cures for many sicknesses and diseases that science is still diligently seeking.
His life's work opened my eyes and my heart and set me on my path of scientific
research and discovery of the nature of sickness and disease and health and
wellness. For this I am eternally grateful.
Modern Western medicine teaches and practices the doctrine of French
chemist Louis Pasteur (1822-1895). The concept of specific, unchanging types
of bacteria causing specific diseases made perfect sense at the time in my early
training. Even though I do not now embrace the doctrine of monophorism, I am
grateful to Pasteur for providing the basis of contemporary microbiological
thought, which inspired me in my research on the nature of the germ and my
quest for the truth of the matter.
I am richly blessed with a wonderful heritage of great men and women who
make up in many ways who I am. My great-greatgrandfather Brigham Young
helped me understand the nature of matter, when he said that “matter cannot be
created nor can it be destroyed.” This very profound statement has echoed in my
mind, as I realize that matter is eternal and can only take on different forms and
functions.
My eternal companion, friend, and love of my life, Shelley, has been my river
of inspiration and light. Through her love of people, especially children, and her
creativity and intelligence, she has embraced the pH miracle and made it
possible for everyone to learn, understand, and live this New Biology.
Several years ago Dr. Neil Solomon and his wife, Frema, came to our home
in Alpine, Utah, to evaluate the efficacy of my life's work. I was nervous and
excited at the same time, because I knew he was a great scientist and researcher.
Since their visit they have become good friends, as well as supporters of my
work. In a world where scientific change is not necessarily received with open
arms, I am grateful to a medical researcher who has had the courage to express
openly the importance of this work and the need for continued scientific
investigation.
I will never forget the day I received a call from bestselling author James
Redfield, telling me he had given a copy of one of my previous books to Diana
Baroni, an editor at Warner Books. He told her that she needed to read the book
and consider publishing the author. Without the help of James and his belief in
and personal experience with the pH Miracle, you would not be reading this
now.
We then had the wonderful blessing of meeting Diana Baroni. We traveled to
New York City, believing we were going into a meeting with a real corporate
type. What we found was a very personal, caring, knowledgeable, and delightful
person to work with.
Diana then introduced us to Colleen Kapklein, who became our partner in
tailoring the pH Miracle into a beautifully simplistic gift to the world. Our
thanks and gratitude to Colleen for her many hours of dedicated work.
I would be remiss it I did not mention the beautiful foreword, written by our
good friend and supporter Jane Clayson. Thank you, Jane, for sharing your
personal testimony to the pH Miracle.
And finally and foremost to my creator, who is the giver of all good gifts, the
breath of all that is living, and who gives meaning and purpose to my life and
mission. And who has also taught me the true nature and meaning of the blood
and the anatomical living beings that make up all organized matter. In his words,
“Life and death are in the Blood and from dust you are and from dust you will
return.”
Shelley Redford Young
It has been an incredible journey for me to ride alongside such a gifted and
giving messenger. There is no way I can adequately express my gratitude to
Robert, for his support, and his dedication and perseverance in courageously
bringing this truth and light to a suffering world. He is a true servant. His
contribution to mankind has made it possible for me to live out my most heartfelt
desires—for people to be well, whole, and happy. It has been a rich blessing to
share this healing wisdom all over the world, with Robert.
I want to express my deepest appreciation for our sons, Adam, Andrew, and
Alex; and our beautiful daughter, Ashley Rose. They have been understanding,
supportive, and patient in our absence, and have become devoted students and
examples of the New Biology. Thank you for the immense joy you have brought
into our lives!
Among dear friends whose support has been especially meaningful to this
work, I want to include extended family members on both the Young and
Redford sides who have encouraged me to produce recipes and get them “out
there” into the hands of the public. You know who you are, and I love you!
I am most grateful for the recipe contributions from some gracious healers:
Maren Hale, Angelique and Chrystyanna Queensley, and Lonnie Birdsall. Thank
you for creating recipes that heal from the inside out.
Finally, to good true friends, Russ and Mary Anne Green (The Super Greens).
Thank you for your never-ending love, encouragement, and support through this
great roller coaster called life.
In love and InnerLight, and the Healing love and light of our Creator, who feeds
us all,
Dr. Robert O. Young and Shelley Redford Young
Foreword
The crew at The Early Show jokingly refers to it as my “swamp water”: the
concoction of GREENS I drink every morning, first thing, at 4:30 A.M. I know
it sounds funny to say I drink my greens, but it's a quick, natural, oxygenating
boost—healthier than any jolt of caffeine. It is just one aspect of a regimen—a
way of life—that has saved my health and brought me to new understanding.
I met Dr. Robert Young ten years ago. My mother had been talking about her
experience with him for years, but frankly, I was skeptical. Then I became sick.
Sick in a way that none of the numerous traditional doctors I saw could figure
out or fix. I had serious digestive problems that were diagnosed as everything
from parasites to irritable bowel syndrome. No two doctors could agree on the
condition, let alone what to do about it.
Finally, in desperation, I broke down. Dr. Young agreed to see me, even
though, as I was walking into his office, I had questions. What could a
microbiologist possibly know about my health? What could he do that a medical
specialist could not?
Dr. Young spent the better part of an afternoon essentially changing my life.
He took a sample of my blood and analyzed it. Unaware of my ailments, Dr.
Young described to me, in detail, my symptoms. He was “reading” my blood
under a microscope and examining what it revealed about my body and me.
Dr. Young told me I had two options. I could continue down this road,
accepting poor health as a regular part of life. Alternatively, I could make serious
changes through diet, vitamins, minerals, and so much more: a completely new
way of living and being. With what I learned from Dr. Young in that initial
consultation about eating green, drinking pure water, avoiding sugar, and
keeping my blood from becoming too acidic, I saw almost immediate results.
My health turned around in a matter of weeks.
Ever since, I have diligently followed what this book shares as The pH
Miracle plan. I'm not always perfect and sometimes I'm lulled back into the
sugar and other junk that comes from old habits. Nevertheless, I'm aware of how
my body responds and I quickly get back on track.
True, I don't have one of those incredible stories about how eating (living!)
this way can stop stage-4 cancer in its tracks, though I know Dr. Young has
witnessed those situations. Even now, all these years later, it is still clear to me
how this way of eating can totally change your life. It's a revelation, a way of
looking at the world in a new light. It affects the way we look at ourselves, and
disease, and how the food we put into our bodies affects everything we do. Dr.
Young will change not just your understanding of how the human body works
but also your outlook—your spirit. Diet affects your mind as well as your body
and is intricately connected to the soul.
It may be difficult at first. The program seems like a drastic change, but when
you realize how much better you feel and how far the benefits go, the choice is
easy.
I have taught my body a different way.
It likes it. I love it.
