Baking Soda

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee and group,

You recommend baking soda for a lot of things. The main source of baking soda

in most stores is Arm & Hammer. I heard that their baking soda has aluminum in

it. It was suggested (by whom, I forgot) that for internal use an alternate

brand (Red Mill?) be used.

Arm & Hammer doesn't list aluminum in their ingredients. Which brands do you

recommend?

Thanks,

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I contacted Arm & Hammer about a month ago with same concern, and the

lady assured me there was no aluminum in their product.

All the best... Caine...

Hi Pam,

Yeah i hear ya on the baking soda in bulk cause of its multi purposes.

Im headin to Edmonton in a few days, maybe i will check out costco for a

larger bag.

> Hi, Caine, that's good to know. I was wondering about that myself. If

you have a membership to a warehouse store (or have a friend with such a

membership), baking soda comes in larger quantities and is a great

bargain. A 10-lb. bag is only a few dollars, and it apparently is good

for a lot of things.

I heard the same thing for years. Then I came across the following article;

which states that ARm & Hammer is aluminum free.

It was brought to my attention that in using baking soda for personal

healthcare, we must purchase the aluminum free product as most baking sodas have

aluminum in them that is added during processing. I was led to purchase Bob's

Red Mill Baking Soda Aluminum Free. This product is available in some markets

and over the internet.

I'll just butt in here to note that I had a bad reaction to drinking water with

baking soda in it.

After doing this for a couple weeks, I developed abdominal pains.

I will also note that another very alkaline substance that I mix in water

(Megahydrate powder)

causes me abdominal bloating.

The digestive tract really works best when it is acidic, so consuming lots of

strongly-alkaline

substances can mess up your digestion.

I realize that there is a lot of material out there in the alternative health

media that proclaims

that " your body wants to be alkaline " , but anyone who says something like that

doesn't

seem to realize that this is a much more complicated subject than that. Various

parts of

your body each have their own optimal pH, and blindly trying to make your entire

body

more alkaline can make your health worse.

When you are trying to digest food, the inside of your stomach needs to be

acidic. That

is why some people take Betaine HCL supplements to help their digestion. Also,

the

insides of your small intestines also need to be slightly acidic in order to

properly

assimilate minerals and support the good bacteria (note that acidophilus even

has

" acid " in it's name!). Also, your blood must be in a very narrow range of pH,

so making

that either to acidic or alkaline will kill you.

So you see, this whole issue of alkaline vs. acidic is a bit more complicated

than

many make it out to be. Certainly drinking baking soda in water might be a good

" quick fix " for cases where you are too acidic, but I wouldn't recommend that

everyone do this longterm.

Probably -- I've found that if I use CELLFOOD drops in water, my digestion

is very happy. And straight CELLFOOD is *really* acidic (pH < 1).

Of course, drinking acidic drops in water will eventually erode your teeth

and give you lots of cavities... it seems that every " solution " creates a

new problem...

Marc

[Guest guest]

First, this is just one part of a health protocal, that includes eating cleaner

food (no pesticides), eating some raw veggies, drinking the cleanest water one

can, ect.

Second, as some are very sensitive, a suggestion is to start LOW...1/8 of a

teaspoon in 5 -6 oz of filtered water...see how you feel. It may make you feel

FULL and uncomfortable, usually it helps if you get the burp out, this can also

happen when the body is highly acidic...IF the body is very acidic, low 6's, or

lower...remember, it takes time.

And there are many things that can lower the body's PH, processed foods are one,

wireless radiation is another, and there are more. Even being around toxic

people can lower the PH, and having a bad day, negative thinking is also said to

be acidic. Do some tests of your own. Take your PH when you are in a happy

mood..take your PH when you are having a rough mood day....Take you PH when you

are doing something you love!

Then gradually increase the dose, from 1/8 to `1/4 to a half of teaspoon...some

can handle a half a teaspoon, I can handle a tablespoon, but I started low and

built up.

Of course you can use more water..8 oz if fine.

I myself take this sometimes 3 times a day....before I eat...always before going

to the stores....when I get back....and before bed.

It's a good idea to use the PH testing strips so that you can tell what your PH

is.

And remember that some people feel their best not at 8, but at 7.25, or it could

be 7.5...so experiment and find when you're feeling reallly good, take your PH!

When you're feeling crappy....take your PH..this makes it much more customized

to YOUR body.

I've had friends who had the flu or a bad cold, and they told me (amazed) that

the bAking Soda worked very fast and were amazed at how much better they felt.

I think its because the flu really means a very low PH. Just my working theory.

The flu is the body becoming way too acidic.

Let me know what you find. You just might be amazed yourself, at how a simple

and inexpensive thing like Baking Soda can help the body.

I agree with you Marc; great points as usual! I , too, am using cell food silica

formula and didn't realize that it was acidic. I'm very concerned about my

teeth. eek

 

I don't have a gallbladder (out when I was 23) and use digestive enzymes with

every meal.

 

I think I'll skip the baking soda. You can keep yourself from being too acidic

with proper dieting.  But then again I feel much better when I eat lean meats

that are acidic. Maybe being type O blood.

Hmm..have either of you ever tried using Bragg's Raw Apple Cider Vinegar?

This gift from nature helps with low acid, is natural, is loaded with enzymes-

and usually when low acid conditions in the stomach are there, it means

there's not enough enyzmes.

No, it doesn't " taste " very well. But it has been used for decades with

great success.

There are many people who are very sensitive, and its common for people

to blame the substance, when its an imbalance that is the problem.

Very common when people's systems are highly acidic, to have reactions.

That 's why its important to start with low low doses. You can't change the

body's PH over night. It takes time, attention to diet, and I think too, its

better for some to do on an empty stomach. Bragg's book says people with

digestive problems, to take a tablespoon of the

raw apple cider vinegar ``10-15 min before they eat. It is quite SOUR..

we call it " the mouth waker upper!

Lizzie

P.S. Raw Apple Cider vinegar is also loaded with Postassium. This is

important for electrolyte balance, and it helps with energy issues.

There are many " natural " remedies, substances that are non-toxic,

have been around for ages, aren't expensive, don't add to the body's

toxic overload..and do help with health issues. *And you don't have to

order them on-line, both the ARm & Hammer baking soda and the Bragg's raw apple

And I've had the exact opposite occur -- if I'm coming down (or have) a cold or

flu, and I consume something highly alkaline (e.g. Megahydrate), my condition

gets WORSE, not better. Meanwhile, if I take something highly acidic (e.g.

Cellfood, Grapefruit Seed Extract), my condition gets BETTER.

So your theory may work for some people, but not everybody...

As for Apple Cider Vinegar, that *might* be a good option -- acidic in your

digestive

tract, and supposedly leaving behind an alkaline residue. The only problem

is that Apple Cider Vinegar is known to suppress the thyroid, so you'll have

to add thyroid support to that. In old-time folk medicine, they would mix

together apple cider vinegar, honey, and a couple drops of Lugol's iodine.

So, Apple Cider Vinegar is (to some degree) a goitrogen?

Unfortunately, I experienced it first hand... being quite

familiar with my own symptoms of hypothryoidism and

when I need to take more thyroid support supplements.

But, I also read it *somewhere*... it might have been in

the book " Vermont Folk Medicine " by D.C. Jarvis, but doing

a quick Google search I found the following page:

http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/thyroid.html

Which includes this comment:

" [WARNING!] 11/13/2007: Lana from Ormond, usa writes:

" Ingesting ACV has long been used for medical treatment and is

sometimes very effective.. HOWEVER, one should also take an

iodine supplement, such as kelp tablets or kelp extracts while

using this therapy. Extended ACV consumption can remove

iodine from the body, and can result in thyroid problems. (Salt also

causes the same problems which is why commercial salt has

added iodine.) I learned all this back in the early 1970's, and have

not found this important information on iodine/ACV interaction

in any articles or books recently. However I have not covered

your entire site. So in case no one has mentioned this yet, it

really needs to be addressed. "

This is followed by another comment from someone else

who confirms this.

Contraindications

Some people with weak digestion do

need to dilute ACV in eight ounces of water to avoid irritation -

unfiltered, raw ACV is better tolerated than filtered and pastuerized

ACV

ACV can act as blood thinner. Check with a medical doctor if using

blood thinning medications.

Long-term excessive use could possibly cause lowered potassium levels

and lower bone density.

Supplement with Calcium Montmorillonite and find a good source of

extra calcium; consider monitoring with medical tests

For some people, the use of ACV causes an increase in stomach

irritation: reduce dosage levels

Take four hours apart from thyroid medications

ACV contains chromium which can alter insulin levels in Diabetics

I was going to read this link, until I saw the above statement.

In natural health, Chromium is often given to PREVENT DIABETES!

Look people, either stick to mainstream medicine and risk never getting well....

because this is the same institution that DOESN'T TEACH ABOUT NUTRITION

its the same institution that believes and pushes toxic things like Chemo

therapy

Its the same institution/mindset that blankets entire hospitals in wireless

radiation

Its the same mindset/institution that thinks injecting babies with toxic

cocktail vaccines

IS SAFE.

Its the same institution/mindset that continues to be in the dark with regards

to ES.

Its the same institution/mindset that permanently installs mercury silver

fillngs in

the mouths of not just adults, but children as well.

Yes, there are always 2 sides to every issue.

Ask yourself this one very important question?

Who's side are YOU ON?

YOur side, that wants to get better?

Or their side, that wants people to stay sick, so they can keep making money off

of misery!

Pl.S. I don't know what the heck that CAlcium Montmo ect what ever it is..

I've got 17,000 hrs of study into natural health...and I can honestly say

It still alters insulin levels, which means someone who is

injecting themselves with insulin needs to be aware that they

may need to inject LESS insulin if they are using apple

cider vinegar...

Seems like a responsible (and correct) statement to make.

'Alkalinizing' usually increases oxygen in the body, and that

tends to wake me up, not make me sleepy.

When I (rarely) take sodium/potassium-bicarb (if I feel " too acid " )

in the early morning (or at night), and then go back to sleep, the

increase in blood oxygen quickly wakes me up, with 'extra' energy,

and I cannot go back to sleep, even if I want to.

(Sometimes works quicker and better than caffeine.)

This wouldn't apply to someone who's already too alkaline.

Lizzie i read allot of weird stuff here,

" raw garlic has a PH of: 13+ "

Absolutely not true & impossible,

if Garlic would have a pH of 13 the skin from your lips will fall of

when you eat it,

pH of Garlic is about 7,3 ( close to body pH )

& if you alter the pH of a garlic concentrate in water to let say

pH 8,0 it will lose its anti bacterial properties very quickly

( dasan.sejong.ac.kr/~kyungkh/dawnload/combined%20effect.doc )

Further you said : ( after talking about pH all the time):

Beef is -34/ chicken is -18 to -22 on the acid scale. Fresh Cucumbers

are: +31--

This for sure can't be pH values there is no + and - on the pH scale ( 0

to 14).

Are you with this numbers referring to another scale then pH ?

Is it a universal scale thats used worldwide?

Baking Soda is a short time solution, you screw up your natural pH

balance in the stomach,

you also add allot of sodium to your system.

Your body has defacto a pH of about 7,35 & your lucky you can't just

alter that

or you end up in the ER. pH of saliva or urine is not equal to 'Body pH',

and varies trough the day.

What do you mean " if you mess with it? "

because if someone's PH is acidic, not raising that PH spells disaster

for health.

**See link below.

Disease/ill health can only thrive in an acidic PH. Cancer cells/tumors

are always

found to be acidic. Inflammation equals acidic PH.

Yes, I agree, it can be tricky. It does take time, attention and

dedication..

In the beginning, I thought, oh geez, another thing to have to pay

attention to.

So I pretty much blew it off. Then later on, after trying a bunch of

products that'

were supposed to help raise the PH....expensive, didn't work...I threw

my hands up.

A little later, I kept running into articles on how important the PH

was. Like some

power/ force (whatever you want to call it) was putting this stuff in my

face...hey, you, wake up.

So I decided to take another look. That's when I found the info from

Mark Sircus,

and at the same time, found info that said wireless radiation makes the

blood

acidic. So I started trying the Baking Soda...small amts at a time.

I don't remember how long it took before I stopped getting that yucky

feeling

of having a burp stuck..I do know I kept at it because I did notice a

difference.

My PH back then was pretty low....it took quite awhile to get it to move

UP..

I did find, that getting rid of all the wireless in my house, and

reducing my

exposure- while keeping up with the Baking Soda, made a huge difference

in my PH. This was right when I connected the dots to the ES stuff.

I read tons of stuff...and decided to simplify. I do the bAking Soda, and

I put raw veggies (cukes, zucchini, peppers) on my plate with cooked

foods....I take raw garlic, crush it, mix it with organic Olive Oil, and

put it on my raw veggies ( raw garlic has a PH of: 13+). Beef is -34/

chicken is

-18 to -22

on the acid scale. Fresh Cucumbers are: +31--

I took the food combining and made it as easy for me as I could.

I just do the zucchini/cukes with the raw garlic....to offset the cooked

foods.

The point is: it doesn't have to be hard. I keep a bowl of crushed garlic

with the olive oil in my fridge. Meals, 2 out of 3, always include something

RAW. I don't count the acid/alkaline anymore...I just make sure I have

zuccini/cukes/peppers with raw garlic. For me, I feel better eating

this way. All I can say is, try it- or don't. But how will you know if

it works or makes you feel better, if ya don't try it?

And one meal isn't usually enough. Although I did feel a difference,

and one meal was enough for me to say: Hey, maybe there

is something to this stuff!
