By Dr. Bob McCauley
Dr. Robert O. Young wrote the book pH Miracle, which I wrote a rebuttal to.
In the beginning of the interview Dr. Young talks about the detrimental effects of consuming meat and how it should be avoided.
Dr. Young’s words are in italics. “Meat has no nutritional value other than to just destroy you life.” “[Eating meat is] why most people stink. That’s why they have body odor. That’s why their elimination smells . . . You can smell someone that’s a meat eater. You can just look at their eyes and at their skin.”
I have not consumed meat since 1980. Absolutely, I suggest to people that they do not eat meat, fish, eggs or dairy. But I think Dr. Young goes too far in suggesting that there is no nutrition in meat whatsoever and the reason why people smell so much. Meat may be one of the contributing factors, but I have met vegetarians who smell bad themselves, including their breath. He suggests that meat actually causes people to rot from within. The consumption of cooked animal protein leads to more disease than anything other than not drinking enough water. But it’s not as bad as Dr. Young makes it sound.
Dr. Young continues: ““It’s probably the worst of all the foods one can eat.”
Perhaps Dr. Young has never been introduced to a Twinkie, Cheese Puffs or the myriad number of other processed junk foods that the average person commonly eat everyday. I would consider many of them much worse than meat.
Dr. Young continues: ““In fact a lot of times the people who eat meat start looking like the animals they’re eating. Because there’s an intelligent there, matter, that actually starts shifting, you know, the animals they eat many times they become.”
It’s a mystery as to what Dr. Young is suggesting as to how a person begins to look like the animals they eat, whether it is fish or a chicken or a cow. I call on Dr. Young to defend this non-scientific, preposterous idea with some kind of evidence in the way of a study or at least a scientific hypothesis.
The sarcastic tone of Dr. Young is palpable throughout the video: “Get off your lazy ass and start moving it. You ever heard of exercise? You know?”
Dr. Young continues: “ “Maybe eating more green foods and drinking more green drinks.”
I couldn’t agree more with this statement since chlorophyll is our most important nutrient in my opinion. Unfortunately Dr. Young does not include aglae as one of the healthy green foods. In fact, it’s his Biggest Mistake.
Around 4:55 in the video, Dr. Young begins talking about mushrooms and algae and it’s all downhill from there. “Think about it folks. Algae and fungi, where do you find them, under rotting decay and bodies. In stagnant, poisonous, toxic lakes. It’s whole purpose is to breakdown dead bodies. And when you put algae and fungus and bacteria, what we call healthy bacteria probiotics all you do is take one step closer to the grave.”
We feed and encourage disease of every kind when our digestive tract is void of probiotics. Dr. Young is suggesting here that the friendly bacteria we call probiotics (for life), commonly Acidophilus and bifidus, also causing us to decay from within. There certainly are harmful bacteria, but to make the blanket statement that all bacteria are harmful to our health is completely wrong, as ample scientific evidence and studies unmistakably proves otherwise.
Dr. Young continues: ““What we need is more light, not biological transformations that are essential to life to breaking down dead bodies so they can go back to from whence they came so can be part of some organized matter. . . . you take days, months, years off your life when you start consuming these things.”
Here is the original full interview:
Equating yeast, mold and fungus with algae is Dr. Young’s Biggest Mistake. Yeast and mold are recycling instruments used by nature that are commonly found in a diseased body. When nature discovers something that does not belong in it, nature’s processes immediately attempt to re-fold it back into itself so it will again become part of it. Algae is a green food in the Plantae Kingdom. It is a plant, the oldest on the planet, that depends on sunlight to survive and reproduce itself. Fungus, mold and yeast are not plants. They belong in the Fungi Kingdom and do not require sunlight, nor do they produce chlorophyll. They are recycling agents meant to return things to nature that are no longer a part of it. You will find mold and fungus in cancer patients because they are being recycled back into nature because cancer is not a part of nature, but rather a response to something found outside of nature.
Dr. Young continues: “When you look at an electron micrograph of lung cancer you see algae(s) and mushrooms. That’s what the tissues looks like, under the sea, you know, Disney Land, you see all these carbunculars and algae and fungi.”
Once again, Dr. Young claims algae is a recycling agent when in fact some species are the most powerful foods known, as such spirulina and chlorella. They are the most scientifically researched foods in nature. Unlike any other food, both must accompany a Certificate of Analysis with each batch that the producer sells. There is no other food on the market that a COA must be presented with other than herbal extracts. No other food is so rigorously and thoroughly tested in studies than spirulina and chlorella. Only cracked cell chlorella can be imported and sold in the United States, and the processing methods must be approved by the FDA. No other foods are so closely scrutinized by the FDA than these two foods.
In regards to mushrooms, some varieties have incredible health properties such as Shiitake, Reishi, Maitake, Cordyceps, Enoki, Antrodia camphorata to name a few. Many of them have powerful anticancer and immune building properties. I regularly consume mushroom and find nothing wrong with them at all.
Yet they are denounced and ridiculed as agents of decay and disease for those who dare consume them. Dr. Young’s biggest blunder occurs with his denunciation of the most powerful foods on earth. It’s not the first time he has made this mistake and I’m sure it’s not the last.
