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 futurethe 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.

Dr. Robert O. Young

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 desiresfor 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

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 boosthealthier than any jolt of caffeine. It is just one aspect of a regimena way of lifethat has saved my health and brought me to new understanding.
