baking soda is a cheap dollar product that cures disease

ph ballance where no disease can endure and allows more ogygen in blood
=================

Immagine the high paying job losses when they actually cure disease instead of just treating the symptoms...

RN Nurse 40 per hour and up

Doctor 60 and up

Pharmacist 40 per hour

pharma sales job 250k per year

=====================
notice what it does to battery acid on terminals
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 262265

The treatment is a combination of pure, 100% maple syrup [bulk Grade B from the health food store] and baking soda and was first reported on the Cancer Tutor site. When mixed and heated together, the maple syrup and baking soda bind together. The maple syrup targets cancer cells (which consume 15 times more glucose than normal cells) and the baking soda, which is dragged into the cancer cell by the maple syrup, being very alkaline forces a rapid shift in pH killing the cell.

The actual formula is to mix one part baking soda with three parts (pure, 100%) maple syrup in a small saucepan. Stir briskly and heat the mixture for 5 minutes. Take one teaspoon daily is what is suggested by Cancer Tutor but one could probably do this several times a day."

The bicarbonate/maple syrup treatment works in reverse to IPT. Dr. Tullio Simoncini acknowledges that cancer cells gobble up sugar so when you encourage the intake of sugar it's like sending in a Trojan horse. The sugar is not going to encourage the growth of the cancer colonies because the baking soda is going to kill the cells before they have a chance to grow.



Johns Hopkins Hospital newsletter stated:

“Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells.

“Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.”

5. “Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.”

6. “A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).”

7. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water – best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic. Avoid it.”

8. “Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.”

9. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

“Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6 , Flor-ssence , Essiac , anti-oxidants , vitamins , minerals , EFAs, etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.”
“Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment.

“Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.”


The ringing alarm bell that the physicians are overlooking is the blood pH. Every cancer patient that I have ever seen, all without exception, had an acidic blood pH. But while the oncologists are pumping the patient full of chemotherapy, pizzas, pancakes, cokes, ice creams, hamburgers and fries, sweet rolls and jams, followed by radiation and surgery, they are ignoring the fact that cancer thrives in a low oxygen environment.

Oxygen cannot stick to blood cells if the pH of the blood is acidic. And rather than do everything that they can to raise the pH back up to a normal pH of 7.4 so that the blood can function properly, they prefer surgery. All of the advice that they have stolen from naturopathic medicine about “deep breathing” will do them no good at all. You can breath pure oxygen until you catch on fire but if the blood pH is acidic, then the oxygen will not be able to be picked up by the blood cells. It is chemically impossible. The blood must be normal and normal blood has a pH of around 7.4 pH. Any vestigial traces of oxygen that the acid-drenched blood cells manage to pick up are stripped off early by the oxygen-starved cells along the way and never reach the deeper parts of the body where oxygen is most needed. And because the pH is acidic, carbon dioxide also is not transported efficiently and so builds up within the tissues leading both to cell death and to a cell-to-cancer de-evolution for survival.

So, yes, cancer can be cured with ordinary baking soda. Bicarbonate is found in the blood naturally for the very real purpose of neutralizing acids. Therefore, those who want to cure your cancers should first follow the stolen advise found in the above newsletter. Not that the oncologists understand or follow this advice, themselves, but since they stole it from naturopathic medicine at least we can all agree that it is good advice. So, go to the health food stores and change your diet immediately.

Re: baking soda is dollar cure that Big Pharma/Health care does not want you to know
From my sister, who had cancer. (I think she drinks a gal a day, and this is the amount per gal.



I already do 2tsp baking soda a day in my distilled water. I also add the juice of 1 fresh lemon to it as well. Once I didn't have the lemon and I got foot cramps that night, so I think that is a must! It truly is alkaline, I drink nearly 1 gal a day of that alkalized water and have been alkaline for over 6 months now. I had a black spot on my pet scan since Nov 06, and finally after doing the alkaline diet it was gone on my January scan!!!! Yippee!

Some people are wary of all the sodium, but I'm not going to fret about it as long as I am alkaline.

Re: baking soda is dollar cure that Big Pharma/Health care does not want you to know
Be careful people. You can die if your acid base balance gets too out of wack.

An important property of blood is its degree of acidity or alkalinity. Body acidity increases when the level of acidic compounds in the body rises (through increased intake or production, or decreased elimination) or when the level of basic (alkaline) compounds in the body falls (through decreased intake or production, or increased elimination). Body alkalinity increases with the reverse of these processes.

The body's balance between acidity and alkalinity is referred to as acid-base balance. The acidity or alkalinity of any solution, including blood, is indicated on the pH scale.

The blood's acid-base balance is precisely controlled, because even a minor deviation from the normal range can severely affect many organs. The body uses different mechanisms to control the blood's acid-base balance.

Role of the Lungs: One mechanism the body uses to control blood pH involves the release of carbon dioxide from the lungs.

Carbon dioxide, which is mildly acidic, is a waste product of the metabolism of oxygen (which all cells need) and, as such, is constantly produced by cells. As with all waste products, carbon dioxide gets excreted into the blood. The blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs, where it is exhaled.

As carbon dioxide accumulates in the blood, the pH of the blood decreases (acidity increases). The brain regulates the amount of carbon dioxide that is exhaled by controlling the speed and depth of breathing. T

he amount of carbon dioxide exhaled, and consequently the pH of the blood, increases as breathing becomes faster and deeper. By adjusting the speed and depth of breathing, the brain and lungs are able to regulate the blood pH minute by minute.

Role of the Kidneys: The kidneys are also able to affect blood pH by excreting excess acids or bases. The kidneys have some ability to alter the amount of acid or base that is excreted, but because the kidneys make these adjustments more slowly than the lungs do, this compensation generally takes several days.

Buffer Systems: Yet another mechanism for controlling blood pH involves the use of buffer systems, which guard against sudden shifts in acidity and alkalinity.

The pH buffer systems are combinations of the body's own naturally occurring weak acids and weak bases. These weak acids and bases exist in balance under normal pH conditions. The pH buffer systems work chemically to minimize changes in the pH of a solution by adjusting the proportion of acid and base. The most important pH buffer system in the blood involves carbonic acid (a weak acid formed from the carbon dioxide dissolved in blood) and bicarbonate ions (the corresponding weak base).

Acidosis and Alkalosis: There are two abnormalities of acid-base balance.

Acidosis: The blood has too much acid (or too little base), resulting in a decrease in blood pH.
Alkalosis: The blood has too much base (or too little acid), resulting in an increase in blood pH.

Acidosis and alkalosis are not diseases but rather are the result of a wide variety of disorders. The presence of acidosis or alkalosis provides an important clue to doctors that a serious problem exists.
Acidosis and alkalosis are categorized as metabolic or respiratory, depending on their primary cause. Metabolic acidosis and metabolic alkalosis are caused by an imbalance in the production of acids or bases and their excretion by the kidneys. Respiratory acidosis and respiratory alkalosis are caused primarily by changes in carbon dioxide exhalation due to lung or breathing disorders.


What Is the Blood pH?
Acidity and alkalinity are expressed on the pH scale, which ranges from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly basic, or alkaline). A pH of 7.0, in the middle of this scale, is neutral.

Blood is normally slightly basic, with a pH range of 7.35 to 7.45. To function properly, the body maintains the pH of blood close to 7.40.

very important info right here. if ur body is too acidic is not because of your diet its because one of the systems that regulates ph balances is not functioning right. if ur a healthy person and eat too much food the kidney will NATURALLY put in alkaline into the system to balance it, thus if ur blood is to acid its because there something wrong with ur kidney or other organs that regulate ph. i think baking soda is more appropriate for external purposes AND if one of ur organs is not funtioning well enough to balance ph it can be used internally. if ur already healthy though and take baking soda its only taxing ur system because ur organs have to produce acid to counter the alkaline u just put in ur body. if ur healthy dont worry about it.

Another point, based on some of the above: Acid-alkaline balance IS very important. So, get some pH strips from the store, find out what the correct pH range is for the human body (I don't remember but will look it up for myself), then test yourself. That way you will be able to track where your alkaline level is for a baseline - and measure the changes you are making with the baking soda. That way you will probably the effect to being too aklaline or too acidic.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 431716


When your body is too acid your body steals calcium from bones to keep the blood where it should be. that is why there is so much osteoporosis problems. when the body can't get rid of all the acid the excess acid is stored in fat cells. yes, people are fat because they are too acid. the body has to make fat to contain all the excess acid. and acid is stored in joints which eats at the joints. since acid will eat right through arteries the body line arteries with cholesterol and when eating habits aren't changed you eventually get blocked arteries.

so taking some baking soda will raise the ph fast and the body will release the excess acid to lower the ph. thus the body can now get rid of fat cells and acid is released from joints so they can heal up. cholesterol problems will go away. the body lets go of all that acid and the body heals up.

usually people start taking 2 teaspoons per day and then as the body gets better less baking soda can be taken in. i am down to 1/4 teaspoon 3 times per day and feeling great. i bought ph test strips to test my urine so i know where my ph is. it should be between 7 and 8 ph. most people are less than a 6.

yes, a diet in fresh fruits and veggies is great but not everyone can do that or get enough so baking soda helps. sodium bicarb is the end product of digesting vegetable anyway.

just try to get those fruits and veggies anyway you can and take a vitamin supp since our foods are so depleted.

best to take baking soda on an empty stomach also so as not to interfere with digestion. also stop drinking acid sodas which is the worst 'food' ever and cut down on coffee which makes the body acid also. drink lots of water but be careful of bottled water because it is acid and it will leach out the plastic. fiji and evian are high ph waters. look up kangan water also. it is amazing.

Semen = 7.5

Blood = 7.4

Gastric Juice = 0.7

Urine = 6.0

Pancreatic Juice = 8.1

Cerebrospinal Fluid = 7.3

Saliva = 7.0

urine should be between 7 and 8 ph. 6 is too acid. but that is where alot of people are and why people are getting so sick. an acidic body corrodes us from the inside out. cancer cannot live in an alkaline environment. we are having a cancer epidemic because people are too acid. cancer is a quick fix if you keep the body alkaline and baking soda will do that.

Have some dark discoloration on my face hyperpigmentation or maybe melasma, anybody hear of if baking soda scrubs effect this sort of thing?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 546418

oh shit! I know all about this. There's something wrong with your hormonal balance. it is my personal belief that melasma is a result of TOO MUCH estrogen production. There could also be a fibroid or uterine problem. You need to see your obgyn and get an ultra-sound to rule it out. If you believe everything is ok, here is what you can do to correct that problem. It's called CHLOASMA in non-pregnant women - a lot of dermatologists don't even know the name - ignorant fucks! There's also a chance that if you're on the pill, the type of pill is causing it or contributing to it - because of the estrogen or because you're not having a period at all. Please don't believe all the pharma hype about B/C pills. They're evil bad for the female system.

So, for treatment:

STAY OUT OF THE SUN. WEAR SUNSCREEN OR A HAT. SUN EXPOSURE MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE. I like EUCERIN (any drugstore). It's like $9 for a smallish-bottle. Get the one for face.

I TRIED EVERYTHING FROM CHEAP FACIAL SCRUBS TO ERNO LASZLO. including Obagi. Nothing worked except for:

Look into Obagi
[link to www.seattledrs.com]
Obagi is expensive - like $75-90 dollars for just the one tube of cream. The whole line costs about $500. Lasts about 6 mos.

Tri-Luma might work but it was too harsh for my skin. It's about $130 a tube. Lasts about 6 mos.

Obagi has good results (better, imo, than Tri-Luma), but it takes awhile to work. Just buy the one cream if you decide to try it (I think it's called "Clear"). But remember, with ALL skin treatments you have to keep your skin covered. And for gawds sake NEVER go into a tanning booth!

The thing that worked for me the BEST is PROACTIV. NOT KIDDING. Pretty much just the renewing cleanser and the toner. After washing with the cleanser, SO MUCH DEAD SKIN CELLS CAME OFF WITH THE TONER. Start slow - according to the direcitons - with Proactiv. Had a breakout the first week I used it. It was ok after two weeks.

The whole starter kit for Proactiv is about $65. They sell at the mall - look for those kiosks. Don't get hooked into an auto-renewal situation. IT's so hard to get out of those if the product doesn't work.





Baking soda scrub is good for plain old exfoliation. I would start with that if that's all you can get your hands on at the moment.

Re: baking soda is dollar cure that Big Pharma/Health care does not want you to know
Be careful people. You can die if your acid base balance gets too out of wack.

An important property of blood is its degree of acidity or alkalinity. Body acidity increases when the level of acidic compounds in the body rises (through increased intake or production, or decreased elimination) or when the level of basic (alkaline) compounds in the body falls (through decreased intake or production, or increased elimination). Body alkalinity increases with the reverse of these processes.

The body's balance between acidity and alkalinity is referred to as acid-base balance. The acidity or alkalinity of any solution, including blood, is indicated on the pH scale.

The blood's acid-base balance is precisely controlled, because even a minor deviation from the normal range can severely affect many organs. The body uses different mechanisms to control the blood's acid-base balance.

Role of the Lungs: One mechanism the body uses to control blood pH involves the release of carbon dioxide from the lungs.

Carbon dioxide, which is mildly acidic, is a waste product of the metabolism of oxygen (which all cells need) and, as such, is constantly produced by cells. As with all waste products, carbon dioxide gets excreted into the blood. The blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs, where it is exhaled.

As carbon dioxide accumulates in the blood, the pH of the blood decreases (acidity increases). The brain regulates the amount of carbon dioxide that is exhaled by controlling the speed and depth of breathing. T

he amount of carbon dioxide exhaled, and consequently the pH of the blood, increases as breathing becomes faster and deeper. By adjusting the speed and depth of breathing, the brain and lungs are able to regulate the blood pH minute by minute.

Role of the Kidneys: The kidneys are also able to affect blood pH by excreting excess acids or bases. The kidneys have some ability to alter the amount of acid or base that is excreted, but because the kidneys make these adjustments more slowly than the lungs do, this compensation generally takes several days.

Buffer Systems: Yet another mechanism for controlling blood pH involves the use of buffer systems, which guard against sudden shifts in acidity and alkalinity.

The pH buffer systems are combinations of the body's own naturally occurring weak acids and weak bases. These weak acids and bases exist in balance under normal pH conditions. The pH buffer systems work chemically to minimize changes in the pH of a solution by adjusting the proportion of acid and base. The most important pH buffer system in the blood involves carbonic acid (a weak acid formed from the carbon dioxide dissolved in blood) and bicarbonate ions (the corresponding weak base).

Acidosis and Alkalosis: There are two abnormalities of acid-base balance.

Acidosis: The blood has too much acid (or too little base), resulting in a decrease in blood pH.
Alkalosis: The blood has too much base (or too little acid), resulting in an increase in blood pH.

Acidosis and alkalosis are not diseases but rather are the result of a wide variety of disorders. The presence of acidosis or alkalosis provides an important clue to doctors that a serious problem exists.
Acidosis and alkalosis are categorized as metabolic or respiratory, depending on their primary cause. Metabolic acidosis and metabolic alkalosis are caused by an imbalance in the production of acids or bases and their excretion by the kidneys. Respiratory acidosis and respiratory alkalosis are caused primarily by changes in carbon dioxide exhalation due to lung or breathing disorders.


What Is the Blood pH?
Acidity and alkalinity are expressed on the pH scale, which ranges from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly basic, or alkaline). A pH of 7.0, in the middle of this scale, is neutral.

Blood is normally slightly basic, with a pH range of 7.35 to 7.45. To function properly, the body maintains the pH of blood close to 7.40.

very important info right here. if ur body is too acidic is not because of your diet its because one of the systems that regulates ph balances is not functioning right. if ur a healthy person and eat too much food the kidney will NATURALLY put in alkaline into the system to balance it, thus if ur blood is to acid its because there something wrong with ur kidney or other organs that regulate ph. i think baking soda is more appropriate for external purposes AND if one of ur organs is not funtioning well enough to balance ph it can be used internally. if ur already healthy though and take baking soda its only taxing ur system because ur organs have to produce acid to counter the alkaline u just put in ur body. if ur healthy dont worry about it.


When your body is too acid your body steals calcium from bones to keep the blood where it should be. that is why there is so much osteoporosis problems. when the body can't get rid of all the acid the excess acid is stored in fat cells. yes, people are fat because they are too acid. the body has to make fat to contain all the excess acid. and acid is stored in joints which eats at the joints. since acid will eat right through arteries the body line arteries with cholesterol and when eating habits aren't changed you eventually get blocked arteries.

so taking some baking soda will raise the ph fast and the body will release the excess acid to lower the ph. thus the body can now get rid of fat cells and acid is released from joints so they can heal up. cholesterol problems will go away. the body lets go of all that acid and the body heals up.

usually people start taking 2 teaspoons per day and then as the body gets better less baking soda can be taken in. i am down to 1/4 teaspoon 3 times per day and feeling great. i bought ph test strips to test my urine so i know where my ph is. it should be between 7 and 8 ph. most people are less than a 6.

yes, a diet in fresh fruits and veggies is great but not everyone can do that or get enough so baking soda helps. sodium bicarb is the end product of digesting vegetable anyway.

just try to get those fruits and veggies anyway you can and take a vitamin supp since our foods are so depleted.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 590826

you are right but like i said, if you're a healthy person one should not take in baking soda it will only tax the system. kind of like drinking too much unnecessary water or taking in more than 8oz at a time. a healthy person is one that exercises (combats cholesterol, fat, sugar, osteo..etc), healthy diet(meaning ur getting all vitamins and minerals with a healthy correct proportion of fat/sugar/fiber..etc)and sleep. If you are getting these three things there is no need for baking soda unless u have a disease thats effecting a organ that controls ph. remember also if ur body is too alkaline it has to get acids from part of the body to counteract and in a healthy person this is not good because it leads too oxygen not being able to bind to blood cells and the body will fail to get hydrated or use water efficiently. if a person is fat they have "unlimited" source to get the acid to counteract but if a person is healthy is will take it from other vital parts. The body is made to balance on its own and has multiple organs to do so, so if ur relatively healthy dont tax ur system by trying to manage ph levels ur self because u are not going to be as efficient as the body.
