The Work and Research of Dr. Robert O. Young for Improved Health, Energy, Vitality and Fitness!

pH Miracle pHour Salts, created by Dr. Robert O. Young is the “ultimate” antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-intoxicant, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, anti-acid, anti-aging, energy and athletic enhancer formulation of bicarbonate mineral salts:

https://www.phmiracleproducts.com/collections/ph-miracle/products/phour-salts

A combination of four powerful bicarbonate, chloride and carbonate mineral salts (sodium bicarbonate, magnesium chloride, potassium bicarbonate, and calcium carbonite) for the purpose of anti-oxidant, anti- aging, anti-acid and maintaining the alkaline design of the body from the inside out and the outside in.

These four antioxidant, anti-acid, anti-aging mineral salts are naturally occurring in all fluids of the body.  Specifically, they may aid in the reduction of dietary and metabolic acidity helping to maintain the alkaline design of the human, animal or plant body and slow down or reverse the aging or decay process.

The pH Miracle pHour Salts™ – powder or capsules

Dr. Tullio Simmoncini, an oncologist with a cancer clinic in Rome, Italy has been treating and destroying cancerous tumors with mineral salts of bicarbonate for years. Dr. Simmoncini states, “sodium bicarbonate is safe, extremely inexpensive and unstoppably effective when it comes to cancerous tissues.

It’s an irresistible chemical, cyanide to cancerous cells for it hits the cancerous cells with a shock wave of alkalinity, which allows much more oxygen into the acidic cells than they can tolerate.  Cancerous cells cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen. Sodium bicarbonate is, for all intent and purposes, an instant killer of tumors.”

According to Dr. Young, “the use of the Young pH Miracle pHour mineral salts is the ultimate protection against all illness, sickness and dis-ease, including any aging or cancerous condition. The pH Miracle pHour salts can not only improve health and energy but athletic performance!”

“All enervation, under-performance, sensitivity, irritation, inflammation, catarrh, induration, ulcerations, degeneration, aging and cancerous conditions are caused by a four letter word – ACID, which is an acronym which stands for:

A = acidic food and drink, attitudes and activities, C = compromised internal acidic environment, I = illness and dis-ease, and, D = desire for more acidic foods, drinks, attitudes

and activities, and the cycle repeats itself. 

 We ingest acidic medicines to lessen the symptoms of our illness. We stimulate the body with unhealthy forms of energy providing quick, often temporary relief from our symptoms which begins the cycle all over again creating a very powerful pattern of poor health and dis-ease,” states Dr. Robert O. Young.

“During the Olympics in Athens, Greece and in Beijing, China several top athletes have improved their athletic performance and even broke world records using sodium bicarbonate,” states Dr. Young.

A London Times article and scientific research substantiates Dr. Young’s claims, “some athletes relied on more rudimentary – and legal – means to boost their race times, including using a substance tucked away in a kitchen cupboard or in the back of a refrigerator.”  This substance is, sodium bicarbonate or baking soda.

“Athletes for years have sworn that taking a spoonful of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) helps them to keep going for longer. For years, experts doubted that there was anything other than a placebo effect to these claims until they subjected the substance to rigorous examination. Most exercise scientists investigating the trend for “soda-doping” among athletes and gym-goers have shown that it offers significant benefits for endurance and speed.”

At Loughborough University, for instance, physiologists reporting in the June issue of the International Journal of Sports Medicine showed that swimmers who took baking soda about one hour before a 200m event were able to shave a significant time off their usual performances. Dr Jonathan Folland, who led the study, says that it is not uncommon for top swimmers to take sodium bicarbonate (another name for the substance) before a competition to give them an edge. Indeed, he showed that of nine swimmers tested, eight recorded their fastest times after ingesting a supplement of the common baking ingredient – sodium bicarbonate.

Another small study by Dr Ronald Deitrick,of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), showed that competitive runners also benefited. Dr Deitrick, who presented his findings at the ACSM annual conference, gave 800m runners either a placebo or a sodium bicarbonate capsule, which they took with water. Although a few of the runners had minor gastrointestinal problems after swallowing the capsules, a greater number benefited significantly.

Prior to the Beijing Olympics, an Australian sports scientist said that the use of legal performance-enhancing substances could become a major issue of the Beijing Olympics. “Beijing will probably be remembered for the abuse of legal aids,” said Robin Parisotto on Australian radio.

And Dr Deitrick believes that bicarbonate of soda can significantly improve performance. “If you took out the participants who experienced negative side-effects… you’d see an average improvement in running times of about 2.2 seconds,” Dr Deitrick says. “For a relatively short running distance, that’s very significant.”

But how does something so seemingly innocuous have such a dramatic effect? During prolonged or intense exercise muscles produce large amounts of acidic waste products, such as lactic acid, that lead to soreness, stiffness and fatigue. Because sodium bicarbonate naturally reduces acids, it acts as a buffer against these performance-limiting by-products.

Current research suggests that it is particularly helpful in speed-based events, including sprints, football and other fast-moving games, and middle-distance (up to 10km) running, swimming and cycling.  “Essentially, sodium bicarbonate is an alkaline substance that increases the pH of the blood,” Dr. Folland says. “This seems to reduce and offset the acidity produced in the muscles during intense, anaerobic exercise that produces lactic acid most quickly, such as fast running or swimming.”

In Dr Folland’s study, swimmers who took the sodium bicarbonate knocked 1.5 seconds off their time for 200m, a difference that may seem insignificant to recreational swimmers but which is substantial at elite level.

“At the last Olympics, the top four swimmers in the men’s 200m freestyle were separated by just 1.4 seconds,” Dr Folland says. “So, in theory, it could be the difference between winning a medal and not.”

Anyone can try it, he says, but only those who are serious enough to monitor their times and progress in sports such as running, swimming or cycling may notice the few seconds advantage it might provide.  “The increments of improvement are relatively small to the average person, although significant to someone who competes,” Dr Folland says.

The following list are 136 ways of using Dr. Young’s, pH Miracle pHour Salts, antioxidant, anti-acid and anti-aging athletic enhancing formula in the prevention and/or reversal of all sensitivity, irritation, catarrh, induration, ulceration, degeneration, pain, fatigue and enervation that leads to ALL  illness, sickness, and dis-ease:[1-116]

1.  Protection against ALL cancerous conditions.  Take 1 scoop. of pHour salts in 1 glass of alkaline water and drink 3 to 4 times a day.[108-116]

2.  The alkalizing of acidic cancerous tissues and tumors. Take 1 tbs. of pHour salts in 1 liter of alkaline water and drink 1 to 2 times a day.[108-116]

3.  The alkalizing of the blood and tissues to maintain the alkaline design of the body and to prevent ALL sickness and dis-ease! Take 1 scoop of pHour salts in 1 glass of alkaline water and drink 3 to 4 times a day.

4.  Protection against acids that may cause nephropathy. According to Dr. Michael Metro, “patients receiving sodium bicarbonate achieved urine pH’s of 6.5 as opposed to 5.6 with those receiving sodium chloride. The alkalization is theorized to have a protective effect against the formation of acids that may cause nephropathy.” Take 1 tbs. of pHour salts in 1 liter of alkaline water and drink 1 to 2 times a day.

5.  In the prevention and/or reversal of autism.  According to Dr. William Shaw, “an extremely simple therapy used by physicians to treat autism is to supply a mild antidote that neutralizes the excess acids.” Take 1 tbs. of pHour salts in 1 liter of water and drink 1 to 2 times a day.

6.  To prevent dis-ease and disease of the kidneys.  The kidneys are usually the first organs to show acidic damage where the mineral salts of bicarbonate help to promote excretion of acidic toxins from the tissues. According to Dr. Thomas P. Kennedy, of the American Medical Association, “substituting a sodium bicarbonate solution for saline infusion prior to administration of radio-contrast material seems to reduce the incidence of nephropathy.”  Take 1 tbs. of pHour salts in 1 liter of alkaline water and drink 1 to 2 times a day.

7.  The removal of heavy metals, dioxins, furans and graphene.  Comparison of cancerous tissue with healthy tissues from the same person shows that the cancerous tissue has a much higher concentration of toxic chemicals, acidic hormones and pesticides. Take 1 tbs. of pHour salts in 1 liter of alkaline water and drink 1 to 2 times a day.

8.  To eliminate or reduce titers of bacteria or fungi from the biological transformation of body cells. The

mineral salts of bicarbonate are an excellent anti-bacterial and anti-fungal that is very diffusible and thus very effective with no negative side-effects. Take 1 tbs. of pHour salts in 1 liter of alkaline water and drink 1 to 2 times a day.

123.  Remove Odor From Carpets – Liberally sprinkle pHour salts on the carpet. Let set overnight, or as long as possible (the longer it sets the better it works). Sweep up the larger amounts of baking soda, and vacuum up the rest. (Note that your vacuum cleaner bag will get full and heavy.)

124.  Remove Odor From Vacuum Cleaners – By using the method above for carpets, you will also deodorize your vacuum cleaner.

125.  Freshen Closets – Place a box on the shelf to keep the closet smelling fresh, then follow these tips to organize your closet in an eco-friendly way.

126.  Deodorizing Cars – Odors settle into car upholstery and carpet, so each time you step in and sit down, they are released into the air all over again. Eliminate these odors by sprinkling pHour salts directly on fabric car seats and carpets. Wait 15 minutes (or longer for strong odors) and vacuum up the pHour salts.

127. Deodorize the Cat Box – Cover the bottom of the pan with pHour salts, then fill as usual with litter. To freshen between changes, sprinkle pHour salts on top of the litter after a thorough cleaning. You can also use chlorophyll for this purpose!

128.  Deodorize Pet Bedding – Eliminate odors from your pets bedding by sprinkling liberally with pHour salts, wait 15 minutes (or longer for stronger odors), then vacuum up.

129.  Deodorize Sneakers – Keep odors from spreading in smelly sneakers by shaking pHour salts into them when not in use. Shake out before wearing. When they’re no longer wearable, make sure to donate your old sneakers.

130.  Freshen Linens – Add 1/2 cup of pHour salts to the rinse cycle for fresher sheets and towels. You can also make homemade lavender linen water with this formula.

131.  Deodorize Your Wash – Gym clothes of other odoriferous clothing can be neutralized with a ½ cup of pHour salt  in the rinse cycle.

132.  Freshen Stuffed Animals – Keep favorite cuddly toys fresh with a dry shower of pHour salts. Sprinkle pHour salts on and let it sit for 15 minutes before brushing off.

133. Camping Cure-all – pHour salts is a must-have for your next camping trip. Its a dish washer, pot scrubber, hand cleanser, deodorant, toothpaste,f ire extinguisher and many other uses.

134.  Extinguish Fires – pHour salts can help in the initial handling of minor grease or electrical kitchen fires, because when pHour salts is heated, it gives off carbon dioxide, which helps to smother the flames. For small cooking fires (frying pans, broilers, ovens, grills), turn off the gas or electricity if you can safely do so. Stand back and throw handfuls of pHour salts at the base of the flame to help put out the fire–and call the Fire Department just to be safe. (And, you should have a fire entinguisher on hand anyway, here’s why.

135.  Septic Care – Regular use of pHour salts in your drains can help keep your septic system flowing freely. 1 cup of pHour salt per week will help maintain a favorable pH in your septic tank.1

136.  Fruit and Vegetable Scrub – pHour salts is the food safe way to clean dirt and residue off fresh fruit and vegetables. Just sprinkle a little on a clean damp sponge, scrub and rinse. Here’s another way to clean your vegetables as well.

“It is important of remember that the human body is alkaline by design and acidic by function.  To maintain that healthy ageless, athletic alkaline design of your body may I suggest using pH Miracle pHour Salts everyday, states Dr. Robert O. Young

The pH Miracle pHour Salts™ – powder and capsules

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, “if the body’s blood stays at 7.365 and interstitial fluids of the Interstitium remain alkaline at 8.465 it is susceptible to NO illness, sickness or dis-ease. This is what I refer to as true immunity and true prevention!”
