Baking soda

To Jesus:

You can use this as an aide to your own research and share with your doctor.

You can use drugs.com or other trusted health websites to look up the latest information on prescription & herbal drugs possible side & interaction effects.

For supplements/herbs having an independent testing certification is essential.  Pharmaceutical grade is the highest standard.

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)

Baking soda is highly alkaline and easy to take with water 1/2hr before & hour after eating (empty stomach) and at low doses may have little adverse side effects.  It appears to help fight autoimmmune disease inflammation, cancer, bacterial infections & fungal infections like mucormycosis (especially if have diabetes II), cavities, canker sores, kidney disease (including from crush syndrome), kidney stones, a lot of medications overdose, eye diseases, GERD, gout, canker sores & help athletic endurance.

People often take 1/8ts three times a day, 1/4ts – 1/2 ts one or two times a day or 1/2 to 1 ts once a day with water on an empty stomach to get the benefits.  People may start with 1/8ts at a time, then increase as comfortable.  The longer people take it the lower the dosage needed.

Baking soda doesn’t appear to increase blood pressure (may mildly lower it if high)

Eczema, psoriasis & acn

Eczema, psoriasis & sometimes acne are autoimmune condtions that that often helped by using baking soda topically, both for its antibacterial & anti-inflammatory effects.  Topical zinc often works as well.  It can be very effective with poison ivy/oak exposure & fungal infections as well.

Baking soda as very strong anti-inflammatory

Baking soda may eliminate autoimmune disease inflammation & reduce osteoporosis by turning off the spleen’s inflammation response & turning on its anti-inflammatory response.

Cancer

Because most cancers need a lot of sugar and a highly acidic environment to flourish, taking baking soda in between meals with water or under the tongue may make tumors less acidic and make cancer harder to grow, reducing cancer metastases in multiple studies. It is also often used to reduce the adverse side effects of chemotherapy.

At www.cancertutor.com there is a treatment that uses baking soda and maple syrup (or honey) to take the baking soda into the cancer cell at higher rates. 

Baking soda very strong antibacterial

Taking baking soda at 1/2 ts twice a day appears to help prevent bacterial respiratory infections, including during the pandemic of 1918 (bacterial encephalopathy, not “flu”). Taking it when having a bacterial infection appears to help kill the bacteria, including when used topically on a wound.  It appears to help work against sepsis pathogens & reverse the increased acidity caused by sepsis & prevent kidney shutdown.

If sick Arm & Hammer recommended taking 1/2 ts with water as able every two hours or until symptoms abate, as they appear to quickly.

Bakings soda prevents bone loss

Increased acidity in foods (dairy & meat) increases bone loss.  Baking soda alkalyzes the body & can stop bone loss.

GERD, kidney disease, kidney stones, gout, canker sores

Baking soda may also help GERD (reflux), canker sores, gout, damaged kidneys, & reduce one type of kidney stones, without increasing blood pressure.

Exercise endurance

Baking soda supplementation appears to help exercise and endurance, especially with higher intake levels & more intense exercise.  Pro athletes use it 45 min before an athletic event to increase their endurance (& reduce inflammation).  I take a tablespoon of baking soda with water (being alkaline/base it counters lactic acid & increases endurance) and some cordyceps mushroom a half hour (under tongue) to two and a half hours (orally) before exercise.  They both have been shown to increase athletic performance.  Baking soda appears to work by buffering the lactic acid buildup during the workout.

Kidney recovery & protection

Taking baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) when bicarbonate levels get low during kidney disease may improve kidney function & reduces progression to dialysis by 500%.  Low bicarbonate levels are associated with early death in the elderly.  It is used to balance the acidity of the blood according to the British Medical Journal group.  According to the National Kidney Foundsation, baking soda and water in place of saline may also protects the kidneys from radiocontrast dye in imaging. Baking soda used for medical treatment doesn’t appear to increase blood pressure.

Baking soda helps crush syndrome

Taking baking soda and mannitol may help stop myoglobin buildup that can lead to kidney failure in people whose limbs are trapped under rubble, sometimes called crush syndrome.

Early and intensive fluid replacement prevents acute renal failure in the crush cases associated with spontaneous collapse of an apartment in Konya.

Baking soda to treat overdose

Baking soda is used to treat many poisonings or overdoses involving drugs that block volage-gated sodium channels including- benzotropines (valium), cyclic antidepressants (amytriptyline), organophosphates, methanol, diphenhydramine (Benedryl), beta blockers (propanalol), barbiturates, salicylates (Aspirin), cocaine, quinidine, procainamide, flecainide, mexiletine, and bupivacaine- helping to stop intraventricular conduction defects, myocardial depression, bradycardia, and ventricular arrhythmias.

Baking soda appears to reduce mortality after coronary angiography

Dye injection can cause contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), which sodium bicarbonate protects against.

Baking soda may reduce the development of many types of eye diseases & improve vision tracking of movement.

Teeth

Brushing with baking soda appears safe & reduces plaque on teeth.

Poison ivy/oak/sumac

Putting baking soda on poison ivy rash (then scratching with it) can help absorb the urushiol oil, stop its spread & reduce itchiness.

Dosage- On the box of Arm & Hammer baking soda it recommends 1/2ts every two hours with water for heartburn as needed. Most people start with 1/8th ts an hour after or a half hour before a meal or longer & work up to 1/4 teaspoon multiple times a day.  Baking soda intake should be lowered if it triggers irregular heartbeat, especially in people taking drugs that may cause the heart to skip a beat (prolong QT,  Torsades De Pointes-TDP).

Potassium bicarbonate

If people have any problems with sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate is often used for many of the same benefits including alkalinity.
