Introduction
Dr. Robert O. Young is a prominent figure in the field of alternative health, advocating for an alkalizing approach to wellness. His work challenges traditional medical paradigms, presenting a unique perspective on the causes of disease and the means of achieving optimal health.[1] This review aims to provide an overview of Dr. Young's contributions, particularly focusing on his theories regarding body pH, the effects of environmental toxins, and the importance of a balanced diet.[2]
The Alkalarian Lifestyle
At the core of Dr. Young's philosophy is the belief that maintaining an alkaline environment within the body is crucial for preventing and reversing disease. He posits that an acidic internal environment leads to various health issues, including cancer, heart disease, and immune disorders. Dr. Young's dietary recommendations emphasize the consumption of alkaline foods, which are believed to restore balance and promote health.[3]
Scientific Foundations and Research
Dr. Young's work includes numerous scientific articles and research studies that support his claims regarding alkalinity and health. Notably, his pilot studies on MasterPeace™ Zeolite Z™ highlight its effectiveness in detoxifying the body from harmful substances such as heavy metals and microplastics. This section will delve into the scientific methodologies employed in his research and the findings that underpin his health recommendations as referenced under the heading of “Selected Peer-Reviewed Articles.”[4]
Methods
In this comprehensive review of Dr. Robert O. Young's health paradigm, a systematic approach was adopted to select articles authored by myself over the past two decades. The following methodology outlines the criteria and processes used in the selection of these peer-reviewed publications and books:
1. Establishment of Inclusion Criteria: The selection process began with the formulation of specific inclusion criteria aimed at identifying articles that align with the key themes of the Alkalarian lifestyle and Dr. Young's health philosophy. Articles were chosen based on their relevance to topics such as alkalinity, detoxification, environmental toxins, and holistic health practices.
2. Comprehensive Literature Review: A thorough literature review was conducted across various scientific databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and institutional repositories. This review encompassed a broad spectrum of my published works, ensuring that a diverse array of articles reflecting different aspects of the Alkalarian lifestyle and health paradigm were considered.
3. Focus on Peer-Reviewed Publications: Priority was given to peer-reviewed articles, as these undergo rigorous evaluation by experts in the field. This emphasis on quality ensured that only the most credible and scientifically sound works were included in the review.
4. Evaluation of Relevance and Impact: Each article was assessed for its relevance to the overarching themes of the review. This involved a critical evaluation of the research methodologies employed, the significance of findings, and their implications for health practices. Articles and books that presented innovative ideas or significant contributions to the understanding of alkalinity and health were prioritized.
5. Categorization of Selected Articles: The selected articles were categorized into thematic groups, such as dietary interventions, the effects of environmental toxins, and detoxification strategies. This categorization facilitated a structured synthesis of the literature, allowing for a comprehensive overview of my contributions to the field.
6. Synthesis of Findings: The final step involved synthesizing the findings from the selected articles and books to highlight key contributions and common themes. This synthesis aimed to provide a holistic view of the Alkalarian lifestyle and its relevance to contemporary health practices, drawing from the breadth of my research over the past 20 years.[6][7]

Environmental Toxins and Their Impact
Dr. Young emphasizes the detrimental effects of environmental toxins, including radiation and chemical exposure, on human health. His research suggests that these toxins contribute to the acidic state of the body and lead to various health complications.[6]
Evidence Regarding the Sources of These Toxins and Their Implications for Public Health
Dr. Young discusses several sources of environmental toxins, including heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial pollutants, and their implications for public health. He highlights how exposure to these substances can lead to chronic health issues, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and neurological disorders. The accumulation of toxins in the body can disrupt metabolic processes and exacerbate existing health conditions, making detoxification a critical component of his health paradigm.[8]
Key Recommendations for the Alkalarian Lifestyle
Dr. Young advocates several key practices for individuals seeking to adopt the Alkalarian lifestyle:
1. Resveratrol: New research indicates that resveratrol may play a role in protecting the alkaline design of body fluids and cells. This compound, found in grapes and berries, has been linked to various health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.[9]
2. Plant-Based Alkaline Diet: Emphasizing a plant-based, alkaline "live-it" lifestyle can reduce the risk of heart disease by 40% and blocked arteries by 90%.[10] Dr. Young stresses the importance of consuming whole, unprocessed foods rich in nutrients.
3. Control Central for Maintaining Alkalinity: The Nucleus of Tractus Solitarius Astrocytes (NTSA) is identified as the control center for alkalinity, blood plasma, and interstitial fluids.[11] Understanding this biological mechanism is crucial for managing the body's pH balance.
4. Managing pH of Body Fluids: Maintaining the delicate alkaline pH of body fluids is essential for preventing and reversing various health imbalances.[12] Dr. Young provides strategies for individuals to monitor and maintain their body's pH levels.
5. Do's and Don'ts of the pH Miracle Alkaline Lifestyle: Dr. Young outlines specific dietary guidelines that include the types of foods to consume and avoid, emphasizing the role of certain foodstuffs in promoting alkalinity.[13]
6. Hydration: Drinking purified alkaline water is essential for environmental protection and maintaining internal pH balance.[14] Dr. Young recommends using systems like PuripHy to improve water quality.
7. True Immunity Begins with the Alkaline Buffering System: Dr. Young discusses the importance of the alkaline buffering system in human physiology, which is vital for overall health and immunity.[15]
8. Self-Care Strategies: Individuals are encouraged to adopt self-care practices that support alkalinity, including regular detoxification, stress management, and physical activity.[16]
Conclusion
Dr. Robert O. Young's contributions to the field of health and wellness present a compelling argument for the importance of alkalinity in maintaining optimal health. His research and methodologies provide valuable insights into the prevention and treatment of disease through lifestyle changes. Future research should further investigate the efficacy of his approaches and their potential integration into mainstream health practices.
