baking soda

f_gelber
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.

Hi,
I heard the same thing for years. Then I came across the following article; which states that ARm & Hammer is aluminum free.

Re: baking soda

BiBrun
My impression is that if it is over 99.5 percent pure they
are allowed to call it 100 percent pure.  Which is insane.
I've not seen any credible discussion of contaminants,
though there's no real reason at this point to suspect a
problem.  The link you sent did not work for me.

RE: baking soda

Elizabeth thode
In reply to this post by Loni Rosser

Hi Loni,
Short explanation: Baking Soda helps to alkalize the body. It is one of the cheapest and safest ways to help alkalize the body.
We're talking PH stuff here....disease/un health can only thrive in an acidic body. A body that is alkalized, basically -means there is more oxygen ...
Wireless radiation  makes the body acidic. If everyone did this simple test, who thinks wireless radiation is so safe...they'd SEE
how quickly cell phones lower the body's PH. Especially those who already use the PH testing strips and trying to get their PH levels UP.
I tell my cell phone toting friends, especially those who use the PH testing strips all the time...."Do this experiment: Take your PH before and after you use a cell phone. "
The silence is deafening.
I carry a bottle of Baking Soda water with me, in my snack bag..whenever I have to run errands. In between stops, I drink this and do sprays of Peppermint Water in my mouth. Doing this helps keep my body alkalized and the Peppermnt water prevents the nausea I used to get, just standing in front of hte registers.
then when I get home, I rinse my head (to discharge) and soak my feet in Magnesium Chloride Oil with Baking Soda.

How often do you have to drink this to stay alkaline & how much do you add to say 8 oz of water.

> How often do you have to drink this to stay alkaline & how much do you add to say 8 oz of water.

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...

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 cider
vinegar are easily available at the local store.

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?

Where did you get this information? .. Or how do you know?

Is this 'anecdotal' only, or where is there some evidence?


(I've studied thyroid for the last 20+ years and never heard that idea.)

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.

           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

RE: baking soda

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
"that" form? I've never heard of. Usually, the rule is, if ya can't pronounce the
word, its a chemical of some kind.
 
Okay, I'm off my soapbox now.
