I read it and for me it just didn’t do it. I am a vegan (or at least about 99%, some stuff creeps in through outside food), but it didn’t really go through enough for me. I think the system stress idea is a very good one, but I don’t know how much it plays out in reality. A lot of the acid/base blood talk I am very, very skeptical of. But I will say that my overall health is hugely better. My cholesterol is now 144 since eating this way, down from 212. Totally agree on the sales-pitchiness. That kills me and may be the biggest problem I had.
