It takes very little and should show effects in 2-3 weeks. It appears to be somewhere between 1/4 and 1/8 of a teaspoon a day.
It might also work with other forms of bicarbonate, if the sodium is too much.
Bump.
I drink it everyday for acid indigestion.

My stomach produces too much acid.
The body and disease still has many mysteries.
I was told by some health professionals and read some health articles claiming that having an acidic body made one more inclined to activate cancer cells and that an alkaline body chemistry retarded or killed cancer producing cells.
For a time I would daily mix baking soda and water to try to get my pH in balance. Of course how one measures pH can be difficult. There are blood tests but that can be expensive. You can use store bought litmus paper and measure saliva or urine. I never found out if either of those are accurate since your saliva can be easily contaminated by what you eat and drink, and I’m told urine is waste so if your body is trying to get rid of acid it will obviously read acidic.
I’ve also heard that while you might think drinking an alkaline solution will chemically balance out acids in your body, that your body may produce more acid in your digestive system to counter the baking soda. So does your body have its own pH balance point and always try to correct back to that?
So it’s all very confusing as to the actual medical value of drinking baking soda solution. If anyone has any insight into the above or good medical advice on this I hope they will post. Bottom line always seems to come back to eating healthy and staying physically active.

Will people taking vinegar violently foam at the mouth after drinking the baking powder solution?
I’ve used baking soda and salt to brush my teeth for a year or so. Coincidentally my reflux has gone away and I can drink coffee again. Maybe not so coincidental.

Ok. “Trying” it to gauge an effect is one thing, but doing it regularly without addressing the WHY as to the cause of the imbalance/inflammation is reckless.
Thus baking soda falls right in line with the “pills, powders, elixirs & ‘diets’” I denigrate ad nauseam.
It’ll sure help with gas and bloating
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”)
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.

Thank you for posting this. Big pharma has sickened many who suffer from autoimmune illnesses.
For those of you suffering from reflux or are having problems overnight with intermittent fasting, take a look at something called Reflux Gourmet.

I have decided I do not like the diseases and disorders that come with age.
Therefore, I would like to announce that I have locked my age counter. It shall no longer register any additional age.
Thanks for understanding.
