pH Balance and Robert O. Young's pH "Miracle"

This episode is anything but basic! 

Learn about how our amazing bodies are constantly working to maintain a tight pH balance (no alkaline diet required). Then hear the story of a convicted medical fraudster who made tons of money selling fake medical “cures”, pseudoscientific diets, and unregulated supplements to terminally ill people.
