Arm & Hammer Booklet on Therapeutic Uses of Baking Soda (1924)

Tim Campbell
Though Baking Soda is not best used for long-term alkalizing of the body it can be a very powerful tool to use in dealing with colds and the flu.:
 
"Over 150 years ago Dr. Austin Church formed a business to produce and distribute Baking Soda. ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda is derived from a natural occurring mineral called trona. It is 100% pure, safe, and natural. Baking Soda (also known as sodium bicarbonate) is a substance that is found naturally in all living things. Its purpose is to maintain pH balance in the bloodstream, which is necessary to sustain life. Due to its chemical and physical properties, sodium bicarbonate has unique medicinal capabilities that every healthcare practitioner, doctor and patient needs to know about.  
The only problem is that Arm & Hammer Baking Soda
 can replace many more expensive medicines and this
 does not make the medical industrial complex happy.
 
     In today’s modern world of medicine the FDA just will not let companies that sell products make medical claims about them unless they have been tested at great expense and approved as a drug. But this was not always the case and as we can see in the information in this chapter, which is from a 1924 booklet,[1] published by the Arm & Hammer Soda Company. On page 12 the company starts off saying, “The proven value of Arm & Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda as a therapeutic agent is further evinced by the following evidence of a prominent physician named Dr. Volney S. Cheney,   in a letter to the Church & Dwight Company:
“In 1918 and 1919 while fighting the ‘Flu’ with the U. S. Public Health Service it was brought to my attention that rarely any one who had been thoroughly alkalinized with bicarbonate of soda contracted the disease, and those who did contract it, if alkalinized early, would invariably have mild attacks. I have since that time treated all cases of ‘Cold,’ Influenza and LaGripe by first giving generous doses of Bicarbonate of Soda, and in many, many instances within 36 hours the symptoms would have entirely abated. Further, within my own household, before Woman’s Clubs and Parent-Teachers’ Associations, I have advocated the use of Bicarbonate of Soda as a preventive for “Colds,” with the result that now many reports are coming in stating that those who took “Soda” were not affected, while nearly every one around them had the “Flu.”
     Recommended dosages from the Arm and Hammer Company for colds and influenza back in 1925 were:
During the first day take six doses of half teaspoonful of Arm & Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at about two hour intervals.

During the second day take four doses of half teaspoonful of Arm and Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at the same intervals.

During the third day take two doses of half teaspoonful of Arm and Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water morning and evening, and thereafter half teaspoonful in glass of cool water each morning until cold is cured.
“Well the sodium bicarbonate cure for colds and sore throats.
A friend called as I was reading about it, I told her to try it.
She is rapt! Relief in a few hours, and she went to work the
 following day! And she was miserable and could hardly talk,[2]
 had just woken with it full on, and was planning on missing work.”

Good one!
I suggest anyone who thinks this stuff is bunk, take your pH the next time you're feeling like crap!
Then remember to take it when you feel really good. Take special notice what you've eaten that day, and the environment you've been in.
Take it when you've been exposed to a crowd of cell phone lovers.
Take your pH when you've been away from this stuff.......

Hi, Tim,

Thanks for sending this info!  I found it extremely interesting in light that the flu seasons of 1918 and 1919 were considered pandemic.  [No, I am ancient, but not quite that old!  lol  I remembered this because my grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and others mentioned losing many children and relatives to the flu in these years.  In some cases whole families died.]  So this is quite good info for us to have in these days of odd flu epidemics!  Here is a site which mentions the 1918 flu pandemic:

Thanks again,
Diane
