> Boy, do I feel the fool for parroting a book....yes, I should have put what I stated in many quotes for much of the info. was from the book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" by Balch and Balch.
I had an opportunity last week to glance through a copy of the above book, and I get the distinct impression I know which Balch wrote the book, and it wasn't the one with the M.D. For example, when discussing the acidity of blood, the book says it ought to be between pH 6.5 and 6.8. Unfortunately for Balch, that is a fatal finding, as blood pH is normally 7.35 to 7.45. It just makes me wonder how credible the rest of the material is, and leads me to my more general rule to check more than one reference.
