Health Happening
The "No-Brainers" for Physical and Mental Health:
Alkalizing / Antimicrobial / Oxygenating, sodium bicarbonate can be used safely at home orally , transdermally, or in a nebulizer, douche or enema to correct deficiencies in alkalinity of body tissues as an aid to deal with many health issues
"Bicarbonate has a . . . commanding power over. . . the pH buffer system and thus the relative alkalinity of body tissues. Bicarbonate is present in all body fluids and organs and plays a major role in the acid-base balances in the human body . . . Bicarbonate deficiency is the most unrecognized medical condition on earth even though it is extraordinarily common"
- Mark Sircus Ac., O.M.D., author and experienced authority on Sodium Bicarbonate and Magnesium Chloride therapy
Oral consumption of bicarbonate has been used to heal ulcers, colitis and other gastric disorders
Bathing in bicarbonate stimulates circulation. Possibly benefitting those with high blood pressure and moderate atherosclerosis
"Cancer is, fundamentally, a relatively simple oxygen deficiency disease and the use of bicarbonate increases oxygen carrying and reaching capacity"
- Mark Sircus Ac., OMD Director International Medical Veritas Association
Cancer cells are acidic both inside and out
Baking soda mixed with maple syrup has had positive results eliminating cancer cells or curbing their growth rate
Baking soda / maple syrup against cancer
pH of the blood is the most important factor to determine the state of the microorganisms in the blood
Sodium bicarbonate is a "World-Class" Antifungal
Wiping out fungal, yeast or mold colonies
Raising pH increases the immune system's ability to kill bacteria
A study conducted at The Royal Free Hospital and School of Medicine in London concluded that taking a sodium or potassium bicarbonate will help fight a respiratory infection and dampen symptoms such as a runny nose and sore throat, since viruses and bacteria that cause colds and bronchitis thrive in an acidic environment.
Baking Soda against oral spirochetes
Pushing the salt of baking soda into the crevices around your teeth with a tooth brush and floss causes spirochetes to die. Spirochetes are the culpritts in Lymes'disease, and possibly M.S. and other nerve disorders. Spirochetes can enter the body via the mouth E.g. after dental work
Bicarbonate protects patients from harm done to kidneys as a consequence of:
US army recommends the use ofsodium bicarbonate to protect kidneys from radiological damage
Bicarbonate dramatically slows the rate of decline in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Baking soda slows kidney disease
For greatest effect in treating kidney disease or protecting kidneys, sodium bicarbonate should always be used with magnesium chloride, providing a powerfully synergistic therapy
Transdermal magnesium chloride
Radiation and chemotherapy both deplete the body's magnesium levels
Chronic kidney Disease - Baking soda slows kidney function decline
Sodium bicarbonate should always be used with magnesium chloride - providing a powerfully synergistic therapy.
Transdermal magnesiumcChloride
Intravenously
Nebulized How to nebulize sodium bicarbonate
In douches and enemas
Transdermally - by putting considerable quantities in a bathtub and soaking in it or by making a lotion from dissolving bicarbonate in just enough water to put all the powder into solution.
Orally . To alkalize blood and tissues - add 1/4 teaspoon of aluminum-free baking soda (E.g. Bob's Red Mill brand or Arm and Hammer) to 1/2 glass of water. Take once in the morning and once before bedtime. Best taken on an empty stomach. SOme variations include:
Sodium bicarbonate treatment will drive pH levels up quickly throughout most of the tissues making it an effective treatment in many health problems demonstrating a bicarbonate deficiency
All physiological processes in the body, including the immune system, are pH sensitive and work most efficiently within an ideal ph range.E.g. cancer patients, whose blood is generally more acidic than is ideal, do better when their blood is within certain slightly alkaline limits. Also many tumors (but not all) are acidic and can be neutralized by raising their pH utilizing baking soda treatment
However, pre-clinical studies have shown that too much sodium bicarbonate, and/or continuing sodium bicarbonate treatment for too long, is harmful to normal tissues (especially kidney and bladder tissues).
The level that is "too much" and the time that is "too long" are unknown, and likely differ for each person (E.g. Older patients with limited kidney function are likely to be more sensitive to baking soda treatment)
It is necessary to test body's pH levels daily as a guide to determine dosages
Addressed in his book Sodium Bicarbonate - Rich Man's Poor Man's Cancer Treatment, Dr. Mark Sircus, Ac., OMD, DM (P) Director International Medical Veritas Association emphasizes that the key to safe use of sodium bicarbonate is the monitoring and testing of both urinary and saliva pH with pH test paper or an electronic tester. He recommends people do this every morning and chart their results, and whenever taking strong baking soda baths, do the same thing soon after getting out of the tub.
Dr. Sircus suggests that urinary pH not go over 8.0 - and Arm & Hammer also states on their box to stop therapy and allow the pH to drop back down after a week of high use.
