A daily dose of baking soda may help reduce the destructive inflammation of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, scientists say.
They have shown that when rats or healthy people drink a solution of baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, it becomes a trigger for the stomach to make more acid to digest the next meal and for little-studied mesothelial cells sitting on the spleen to tell the fist-sized organ that there's no need to mount a protective immune response.
Mesothelial cells line body cavities, like the one that contains our digestive tract, and they also cover the exterior of our organs to quite literally keep them from rubbing together. About a decade ago, it was found that these cells also provide another level of protection.
In the spleen, as well as the blood and kidneys, they found after drinking water with baking soda for two weeks, the population of immune cells called macrophages, shifted from primarily those that promote inflammation, called M1, to those that reduce it, called M2. Macrophages, perhaps best known for their ability to consume garbage in the body like debris from injured or dead cells, are early arrivers to a call for an immune response.
In the case of the lab animals, the problems were hypertension and chronic kidney disease.
"The shift from inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory profile is happening everywhere," O'Connor says. "We saw it in the kidneys, we saw it in the spleen, now we see it in the peripheral blood."
When they removed or even just moved the spleen, it broke the fragile mesothelial connections and the anti-inflammatory response was lost, O'Connor says.
The treatment also attenuates inflammation and disease severity in rheumatoid arthritis.

And thanks to the pointer for the script! It’s interesting to read it, different things stand out from when you watch it.
It’ll sure help with gas and bloating
I might have to try it, hoping it helps with memory..
The interesting thing about calcium carbonate as a substitute for sodium bicarbonate is that it is. It is sold as TUMS. Or you can by identical tablets at Sam’s packaged by the hundreds. These tablets are essentially Sugar and Calcium Carbonate.
Although not the best source, they are a calcium source as well .
I don’t know about potassium bicarbonate but would suggest it may not be as readily available and cheap.
Are you saying you use just plain baking soda for brushing (as opposed to some brand of toothpaste containing baking soda, like "Arm & Hammer"), and just plain, ordinary, brown-bottle hydrogen peroxide with water for a gargle (as opposed to some brand of mouthwash which contains hydrogen peroxide, like "Listerine Healthy White", or "Colgate Peroxyl")?
If that is the case, what measurements of water/hydrogen peroxide do you use, and do they do an effective, noticeable job of whitening your teeth when you use them?
(Just wanted to be sure I really understand what you posted. Thanks!)
It works for pets, too: The Kelmun Protocol — a natural approach to cancer in pets
Just watch the dosage! With small pets, too much of this good thing will be a very bad thing!
Before you try this, definitely check with someone like Pet Poison Control first to determine toxicity for your animal, whether dog, cat or spouse.
We don’t want to kill the patient while saving the patient.
That looks really bad on the resume.
Baking Soda + Maple Syrup against Cancer (“The Kelmun Protocol”)
"There is not a tumor on God´s green earth that cannot be licked with a little baking soda and maple syrup."How about that?That is the astonishing claim of controversial folk healer Jim Kelmun who says that this simple home remedy can stop and reverse the deadly growth of cancers. His loyal patients swear by the man they fondly call Dr. Jim and say he is a miracle worker.
"Those other doctors told me that I was a goner and had less than six months to live as a result of my lung cancer,” said farmer Ian Roadhouse.
“But Dr. Jim put me on his mixture and in a couple of months the cancer was gone. It did not even show up on the x-rays."
Yep.
The H2O2 bottle even has the directions to use it as a gargle says mix with equal amounts of water for an oral abride solution, up to 4 times a day.
It is a bit of a throat clincher if you don’t add enough water though. I always have a glass of water standing by to immediately rinse and fill it again a few times - else I gag something terrible.
I suppose it whitens my teeth some - but I drink so much coffee and tea that it just stains again .
The human body maintains a pH within a very narrow range in order to survive and function.
The normal range is 7.35 - 7.45 for arterial blood. If you manage to get outside of that range you will develop acidosis or alkylosis.
Oh Great. Now you are telling me that I am going to die. Gee thanks. :)

Mother died earlier this year after a hip fracture at 102 but she and I have been take PPIs since about 1990 -- no kidney problems. She had a bit of bone loss (understandable at that age), but not at a clinical level (calcium absorption is the other thing they try to scare you away with).
Antacid Use
For patients suffering from heartburn or indigestion, sodium bicarbonate is given as a effervescent powder, noneffervescent powder and in tablet form, MayoClinic.com reports. In all forms, the dosage for a child under 6 must be prescribed by a doctor, as children’s dosages vary depending on a number of factors.
As an effervescent powder, children from 6- to 12-years-old require 1 to 1.9 g, or 1/4 to 1/2 tsp., of sodium bicarbonate in a glass of cold water. Older children and adults should be given 3.9 to 10 g, or 1 to 2 1/2 teaspoonfuls, of the drug in a glass with cold water.
Adults taking sodium bicarbonate in noneffervescent powder form should take 1/2 tsp. in a glass of water every two hours.
In tablet form, sodium bicarbonate can treat heartburn in children if given in a dose of 520 mg. This dose can be repeated once 30 minutes after the initial dose. For adults and teenagers, the dose ranges from 325 mg to 2 g, one to four times per day.

Not to worry. You really can’t turn your body alkaline because it will fight you at every step to keep the pH balance it wants and needs. You might neutralize your stomach acid enough to cause a problem but that’s probably about all.
bttt
Thank you for posting this. Big pharma has sickened many who suffer from autoimmune illnesses.
I’m glad to see the old threads are still used, as this use of baking soda was something I even tried.
I had no issues with it, but I have other things I do take.
This is a fascinating option to simply modify our immune system.
