I'm sure if you are truly interested you'll look at healthy eating as the #1 health repairer. Or you just want to be jokesters and troll around.

So, just by a tiny bit of effort I found out that his claims have some validity to them.
I can do quick google searches too! Tiny bit of effort.

There's one form of woo that I've dealt with before, but haven't revisited. It's a bit of woo that's so monumentally silly that it's hard to believe that anyone can take it seriously, although I will admit up front that it is not quite as silly as homeopathy. It's close though. I'm talking, of course, about pH woo, the concept that pretty much every disease (or at least a whole heck of a lot of them) is caused by alterations in your blood pH, usually to the acid side, and that all you have to do to restore health is to "alkalinize your blood."

Diet has very little impact on the pH levels of your body. The body has several built-in and very effective abilities designed to keep its pH levels at a certain level
