Bicarbonate Treatment for Swine Flu (1924)
Using Bicarbonate Against the Swine 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.”
In order to secure the best results with Arm & Hammer Pure Bicarbonate of Soda (Baking Soda) when taken internally, certain simple rules must be observed. Materia Medica, pharmacology and Therapeutics (Bastedo, Page 88) clearly outlines these rules to follows:
“The effect of an alkali in the stomach will vary according to the nature of the stomach contents at the time of administration. In the resting period (after food is digested) sodium bicarbonate merely dissolves mucus and is absorbed as bicarbonate into the blood, to increase its alkalinity directly.
“In the digestive period it reduces the secretion of gastric juice, neutralizes a portion of the hydrochloric acid, liberates the carminative carbon dioxide gas, and is absorbed as sodium chloride.
“In cases of fermentation or ‘sour stomach’ it may neutralize the organic acids and so result in the opening of a spasmodically closed pylorus (the opening between the stomach and the small intestine); while at the same time it acts to overcome flatulency (accumulation of gas in the stomach and bowels).
“The time of administration must, therefore, be chosen with a definite purpose. Usually for hyperchlohydria (excess of acid) one hour or two hours after meals will be the period of harmful excess of acid.
“In continuous hyperacidity and in fermentative conditions a dose an hour before meals will tend to prepare the stomach for the next meal; or sometimes a dose will be necessary immediately after eating, because of abnormal acid or base having been present at the commencement of the meal. (For the average person one-half hour after meals is recommended).
“A dose at bedtime tends to check the early morning acidity, or a dose on arising cleans the stomach of acid and mucus before breakfast.”
Whenever taking a bicarbonate solution internally the soda should be dissolved on cold water.
This is all very valuable information coming from the horses own mouth, the Arm and Hammer Baking Soda Company, which sells aluminum free baking soda. Clearly they knew what they had in their hands one hundred years ago; and its long use in medicine sustains the companies published medical views:
“Besides doing good in respiratory affections, bicarbonate of soda is of inestimable value in the treatment of Alimentary Intoxication, Pyelitis (inflammation of the pelvis of the kidney), Hyper-Acidity of Urine, Uric Acid disturbances, Rheumatism and Burns. An occasional three-day course of Bicarbonate of Soda increases the alkalinity of the blood, assists elimination and increases the resisting power of the body to all Infectious Diseases.”
Magnesium chloride is the only form of magnesium that has been reported to increase immune system strength though all forms of magnesium need to be counted in this regard. When one adds magnesium chloride to ones baths, puts it on the skin like suntan screen, or takes it orally with sodium bicarbonate one supercharges their defensive perimeter or what is called the anti-pathogen factor in Chinese Medicine. Add Iodine, Selenium, Vitamin C and some healthy sun exposure or Vitamin D and we have the heart of army we need to array against viral invaders. Magnesium Bicarbonate – Ultimate Mitochondrial Cocktail is the name of one of my chapters that explains why both these essential mineral ions need to be present in sufficient concentrations.
Testimonials:
My father was a veterinarian and as far back as I can remember (I was born in 1938 so my memory goes back to maybe 1943) he would take sodium bicarbonate dissolved in a full glass of warm water whenever he felt a cold coming on. I don’t remember him ever coming down with a full blown cold. He would treat my cold symptoms likewise and I responded equally as well. He also treated farm animals for various illnesses with sodium bicarbonate via a gastric tube and they recovered quickly. So I’ve known about the benefits of sodium bicarbonate from early childhood on. Glad to see that its benefits are being more widely touted. Although my father was a doctor of Veterinarian medicine, he sometimes referred to himself as an MD (Mule Doctor).

Dear Dr. Sircus,
Several weeks ago, I purchased your eBook about Sodium Bicarbonate. IT CHANGED MY LIFE. I believe that God is working through you and your staff to spread the word about the body’s natural ability to heal, given the right elements. Thank you!!!
I’ve been reading your newsletter for some time now, and happened to see your eBook about baking soda. We don’t have a lot of money, but I felt that your research might help me. Sure enough I can tell you that within the week following reading your book - and practicing what you preach – I have been practically hive/urticaria free.
I started with straight baking soda and water. Yuck! I could hardly make myself do it. But I was going for the PH balance you talked about. I read more about the different oral combinations and decided to try the Maple Syrup and Baking Soda. 3:1, it worked great and tasted great too. I couldn’t believe I could eat that much sugar!
Right now I’m smiling and feeling great. My mood is good, my energy is way up and most important the swellings and itching are gone. My hair is growing back thicker. My skin looks great. I’m not tired all the time. I can’t believe the difference in my health. Praise God for his goodness in inspiring your work.
I’ve recently added Nascent Iodine after reading some tips of yours. I was indeed deficient and that seems to be adding to the overall good effects. My children are benefiting from this research as well. I’m so happy to find alternatives to mainstream medicine.

Dear Dr. Sircus,
I have had Morgellons for over 6 years – very nasty – and I know you are aware of our plight. I am now ready to start your transdermal magnesium therapy treatments but first I have to tell you something.
I would like you to know that bicarbonate baths really help me. But, and this is a big BUT, I use it with about 3 Lb’s of sea salt per bath and when I did 5 Lb’s of bicarbonate – I put myself into an alkaline state. The high salt content somehow opened up my skin to take in the bicarbonate – it came out of my skin for a few weeks!
Thank you,
Carola Dunham
The addition of a cup of baking soda to a hot bath after a long exhausting day alleviates tension and muscle aches. It exfoliates the skin to remove dead dry skin leaving fresh bright youthful skin behind without the high cost of the commercial skin exfoliates. The addition of baking soda to foot baths help with tired, achy feet when working in jobs such as waitressing or other heavy-walking type jobs. Combining the baking soda with magnesium chloride brings dramatic changes to human physiology and the only thing making this formula even better would be the addition of some sodium thiosulfate for a full hot springs therapeutic treatment.
When salt and baking soda are combined in the
bath, the combination may reduce the negative
effects of minor exposure to the radiation from X-rays.
Sodium bicarbonate, the monosodium salt of carbonic acid, is used as a gastric and systemic antacid and to alkalize urine; also used, in solution, for washing the nose, mouth, and vagina, as a cleansing enema, and as a dressing for minor burns.

Thank you so much for the articles on Baking Soda. When I think how much I have suffered throughout my life from colds and flus and never thought that my father was right. It is also against germs.
He drank B. of Soda with Spalt ( a milder form of Asperin ) back in Germany in the fifties and sixties. Lived to be 93. Of course every doctor caushions about the salt content and other dangers. Just like it is with D.M.S.O and Apricot Kernels.
Thanks, Barbara
How about curing joint crystals which were found while doing knee surgery. They are sharp and hurt in the joints.
When the water heater misfired in my mother’s face, her friend quickly made a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water and put in all over her face and arms, then rushed her to the hospital. The doctor said that the bicarbonate saved her from severe burns and scarring. From that day, 40 years ago, we have never been without Arm and Hammer Baking Soda. I use it for everything I can think of, using it for personal internal use to cleaning, deodorizing since it works and cuts down on all chemical toxins in my home.
Thank you for your constant updates on bicarbonate of soda.
Thank you so much for all your valuable info. Last week I felt so tired, I could barely make it up the two flights of stairs. Sure I was coming down with something, I made myself the Apple Cider Vinegar, Honey and Baking Soda cocktail that tastes like a creamy dessert before bed and felt fit as a fiddle in the morning.
Testing the urine with PH strips keeps me ahead of the curve. Whenever my evening urine is below 6 PH I whip up a ‘cream soda’ and am back to normal the next morning.
A big thanks from Germany,
Anita
Please share the amounts you use of the apple cider vinegar, honey and sodium bicarbonate!
Read the information on sodium thiosulfate. You might find it to be helpful for this condition of joint crystals. No doubt magnesium oil will also help.
Thank you for your great service to humanity! Keep up the good work!
I think I’ll give a copy of your book and a box of A. & H. baking soda
to all 4 of my adult children for Christmas this year.
My husband and I use Nascent Iodine daily in every glass of water we
drink and just took it with us to Nepal, where we stayed for 6 weeks.
We also use the transdermal magnesium and drink the baking soda in a
glass of water at least once daily.
Throw in the Himalayan salt brine every morning, and of course their
granulated salt for cooking and on the table, and we’re “good to go”!
We raise our glasses (of baking soda) to you and thank you once again!

Yes!!!!!!!!I have hiatal hernia and suffered gas, acidity and more many years ago,when I take baking soda I felt fine,since years I feel well.I use it for many pH conditions alcalinizing it and solve problems, and recommendeddd it to my family and friends.For tooth,cleaning,odors,gums,clothes,drowers,vehicles,and more.
I think baking soda always has been excelent helper in health and will use it for good. And is cheap
I also would like the proportions of the organic vinegar, honey and baking soda. I’ve been doing the vinegar and cran pills.
Anita…please share your ‘cream soda’ formula or bitte, was ist die formel?
Dear friends,
baking soda and sea salt also good for gum health and teeth. Mix and dip tooth brush into it. Brush and gargle.
Thank you for bringing back information on Arm&Hammer.
My Mother always used it….for everything, including face wash ( mild mixture ) and foot soak.
Great idea Mark,
If you don’t mind, I will be linking and reposting some of your material on my blog at http://www.acupuncturebrooklyn.com
I’ve used baking soda for years for all kinds of self care and cleaning. Here are two additioal uses I have not seen listed: (1) I have baby fine hair which gets oily quickly and looks stringy, and I hate to shampoo it every day. When I soak in a tub of water with a small box of baking soda dissolved in the water, I shampoo my hair also, and even when I rinse it in clear water afterwards,, my hair stays fluffy for days. (2)The other use is for healthy white teeth and strong gums. I fill a small jar with baking soda, add a little salt and add enough hydrogen peroxide to make a smooth paste. Cleans and whitens the teeth from coffee and other stains. sometimes I dip my finger into the paste and massage the gums. I use toothpaste inbetween also.
I have been brushing my teeth for the last 5 years with baking soda and salt ( ratio 6 teaspon of baking soda to one of salt ) I am 67 and no cavities and healthy gums.
My husband had a hiatal hernia, and a heart condition years ago. He was constantly taking Arm & Hammer baking soda for indigestion. The doctor told him told him to stop taking this as it was causing damage. I would never take this for that reason.
Doris,
When you say “constantly taking baking soda” I wonder how often that is. There are guidelines and limitations to how much should be taken every day and for how long. These are listed on all packages of baking soda. I suspect he was taking too much for too long.

Hi, my 2 year old has the flu. Can I give her baking Soda?? And does anyone know what the dosage should be???
Thank you,
Chrisite
Christie,
sodium bicarbonate is generally not recommended for children under the age of six, but this is because studies have not been done to prove its safety in this age group. So for this age group careful consideration should be given and you should work with a quaslified health care provider to determine the proper dose if any.
But certainly you can add a little to the baby’s bath water for a few days.
Dr. Mark
I have a recipe from http://www.mamagums.com to make a
dental powder.
1/2 c baking soda
1 tsp sea salt
And I have added 1/4 c xylitol (Kills bacteria and good for bones)
Make solution 50/50 peroxide and water and dip your toothbrush
in it before toothpowder. Just do this only 1x a day.
Then before your irrigate – floss. It will pull the
toothpowder between your teeth and clean them.

I am all for using the Baking Soda and yes it is an OLD remedy. I was born in 1955 and I remember my great grandmother having us to use it for upset stomach and a toxic body cleaneser for colds to bathe in. I am 100% behind using the soda. Great for everything.
Hi,
I have some nasty cracks on the sole of my left foot. I have tried many creams, nothing helps. I also started to develop a venous ulcer on my left lower foot, I am not a diabetic. I am on my feet all day (12hr shifts) and only wear good Nursing Shoes. What would be the best way to apply the baking soda? How?
Thanks for your help, it is appreciated.
I would have you doing foot baths with both magnesium chloride and sodium bicarbonate.
Sodium bicarbonate in a footbath (or full bath) has remarkable skin softening qualities and the magnesium chloride will also protect the skin barrier and improve circulation to your feet.
Dr. Mark
Very interesting take on an old remedy.

I always thought baking soda had a lot of sodium and would only use it for acid stomach. How much sodium does it contain?
And of course bicarb of soda can be used to cure cancer. If you google Dr Simoncini he has given all the protocols for different types of cancer on his website. Originally he was the oncologist at Milan (Italy) Hospital, but when he announced his research showed that cancer was a fungus and could be killed off using bicarb, he was fired.

Are there any Gout cure recommendations for the Bicarbonate of Soda? I drink Club Soda at every meal to increase the PH at every meal.
Thanks for this information
Sodium Bicarbonate is an age old remedy for gout as it serves to alkalinize the blood (prevents acidity). Diet and lifestyle changes are also often helpful as is the use of magnesium chloride in foot baths. You can add some bicarbonate into these footbaths as well, or use it as a body spray. Get some Ancient Minerals Magnesium OIl or flakes from LL Magnetic clay at: http://www.magneticclay.com/ and use it along with bicarbonate .
Your article is very interesting. I live in Mexico and publish a magazine. I will recommend it to people so they can prevent themselves from getting sick. Interesting. Baking Soda seems to be so good, the only way it must be harmful is if you smoke it.
Thanks again
My brother got infected with H1N1 or Swine Flu in Mexico. He got a mild fever and luckily he did not die.
This doesn’t make any sense. Why didn’t Church & Dwight sponsor the tests to prove this? C&D almost has a monopoly on trona, so they have every reason to sponsor these expensive tests. If true they could increase prices and create specific medicines with a much higher price tag. It would be a massive boost to their profits, as they would have very little competition. They have done none of this. I guess they just don’t like making money.
If you look at the pandemic of 1977, when H1N1 or Swine Flu re-emerged after a 20 year absence, there is no shift in age-related mortality pattern. The 1977 “pandemic” is, of course, not considered a true pandemic by experts today, for reasons that are not entierely consistent. It certainly was an antigenic shift and not an antigenic drift. As far as I have been able to follow the current events, the most significant factor seems to have been that most people, who were severely affected, were people with other medical conditions.
Hello,
Thanks for your comments. I see that you are involved with treatments for acne. Did you know that sodium bicarbonate has been found to be effective in diminishing acne outbreaks on the skin? Check it out.
Dr. Mark
Blessings to you Dr. Sircus!
I have just experienced the truth of what Arm & Hammer suggested back in 1925.
I’ve been in the midst of a severe cold, with concerns that it was progressing to pneumonia. I started on their suggested regimen last Friday and within an hour or so I could tell it was having its effect.
Now, granted it has been a long, slow incline up and out of this stuff but my fever which had been trending up, turned and trended back down from the point I took my first dose of Bicarb.
How many colds have I endured with the box of Arm & Hammer sitting right there in my place?
(If nothing else it saved me the expense of an Dr. visit & drugs…)
Bless you Dr. Sircus for providing this valuable and in some cases, life saving information!
Tim
I have been washing my face with baking soda and warm water for two years now. I have not had an acne breakout in that same time period, I used to break out all the time. i follow up the cleansing with coconut oil. my fine lines are reducing.
Tina
Marie-Louisa, “nasty cracks on the sole of my left foot” — could be a sign of kidney problems. Have a look into that. I would recommend detox.
There are other ways to accomplish the same effect. One gentleman came down with a urinary tract infection (UTI).
On Hospice care, he only had a few days to a week left before he would most likely pass. Knowing that he would soon not be able to swallow, his nurse got an order for Alkaseltzer. It turned worked so that by the next day, the UTI was cleared up. He did pass several days later only with one less discomfort.
Actually, this was one of the treatments prior to antibiotics and still is in some countries.
What seems to be missing is that viruses and bacteria cannot live in alkaline conditions. Help the body do what it is hard wired for and designed to do and health improvement will follow.
Can pregnant women use to clear a flu?
Dear Martha,
Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.
Work with your health care provider on this. A lot will depend on how far along in your pregnancy you are, how your blood pressure is doing, if you are having fluiid retention etc.
The formula for organic honey, vinegar and baking soda is :
One tablespoon of honey mixed with one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar until the honey is dissolved. Then add one teaspoon of baking soda and stir. Watch it foam into a cream, eat right away.
Enjoy.

hello i am wondering if this is also good use for malaria in children and adults
can you tell me if this can be helpful in a patient who has alot of mucus? he will be returning home from hospital soon but it looks like because of all the mucus he will still have a trache. we want to dry up this mucus and alkaline him so we can remove this trache and start a healing process with his MS.
i am also wondering how is this taken and with what else aded for a 12 yr old with hiv?
what would be a good safe daily dose for both hiv and mucus
thanks!! will be getting your book for sure
I tried the baking soda dissolved in water and noticed two things. 1) it made me incredibly queasy for an hour or so, even when I reduced the quantity. 2) I noticed within 24 hours that my feminie odor had changed, and not for the better. Are either of these things common on the regimen?

What you are describing is very probably a detox reaction. Check your pH with testing strips each day and let the pH be your guide.

I have tested my oral PH/Alkalinity with PH strips and find it is 180 on the high alkaline side and slightly low on the PH. After reading your emails for a long time I purchased the sodium Bicarbonate e-book with hopes of seeing some type of regular maintenance program, but have not seen one. Can you tell me where this would be in the book or let me know how I could go about creating a regular program of using baking soda for maintaining proper alkalinity and PH.
Thank You
This is AMAZING news!
I just recently wrote on using regular old baking soda as a deodorant because I do not believe that the mainstream media will ever tell us the truth about the connection between antiperspirants and breast cancer… but I believe that one does exist.
I have been using H202 therapy for the past 2 years now and I just recently began using baking soda as a deodorant. It works wonderfully.
When my body began menopause, my glands went thru some sort of horrific change and even though I wasn’t sweating very much, my underarm odor became unbearable. I was using antiperspirant 2 or 3 times a day!
Once I started using baking soda instead, I found that I could go for days without reapplying.
Baking soda was a God-send for me.
The directions on how to use it are here: http://www.health.6millionrich.com/100PercentHealth/2010/06/how-not-to-develop-breast-cancer/

Would bicarb be helpful or harmful for kidney stones?
Also would it help someone with crohns disease?
My husband has kidney stones my son has crohns.
With thanks Ollie
Ollie
Yes sodium bicarbonate can help prevent uric acid kidney stones. If your husband’s uric acid level is high, it will help to alkalinize the urine. It can also help to dissolve uric acid stones.
In Crohns disease, the loss of small bowel contents or diarrhea causes excessive loss of bicarbonates in the body. This would result in metabolic acidosis. When this happens bicarbonate would be useful to replenish what was lost and to alkalinize the body. Check pH with test strips.

Hello!
1. If a couple of pounds of baking soda are put in a bath, will any enter the bloodstream or are its benefits only skin deep. I working with someone who currently can’t taking it orally (long story, please just trust) but who has cancer and can’t get his pH above 6.
2. How long before, and how long after meals should, for example, a teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in water be taken? Some say 2 hours before and 2 hours after, which creates a 4 hour wait between the next meal and is difficult for patients who need to “graze” all day in smaller quantities.
Thanks!
I have type 2 diabetes. I have an insulin pump. How do I treat diabetes with baking soda. I am sure I am so highly acidic that I am toxic, due to the highly refined, processed poisons that are nutritionally deficient and gives us such acidic diseases such as diabetes. I also think the Air with Con Trails of Aluminum, Bromium, and Strongtium add to the acidic pH factor. Then we have Chlorine in our water, which causes Chlorine Breakdown Byproducts (CBP) which are toxins, combined with fluoride that makes us passive to all government abuses. So we are breathing, drinking and eating poisons day in and day out from the Federal Gov under the auspices of Agenda 21, a book by the UN – a global corporation – bent on reducing the world’s 6.8 billion by 6.3 billion, so they can have 250 million masters and 250 million slaves, it is called culling the herd or population control, but is meant by the banksters to cut the pie in larger pieces, by killing off our babies and soon euthanasia of the elderly, we don’t want to waste our resources nor have a war with the greedy bums.
David,
First read Dr. Sircus’ book on sodium bicarbonate. http://sodiumbicarbonate.imva.info/ Then get yourself some pH strips (at any health food store) and start checking your pH daily to see how acidic you are.
You can then start taking sodium bicarbonate 1/2 tsp twice per day in a glass of water and continue checking pH. Alter our diet to avoid acid producing foods.
Your ph will be your guide to how much sodium bicarbonate you should be taking. If your urine and saliva remain acidic increase the amount you take daily, staying within the guidelines stated on the box. our pH should be @ 7.36 not going above 7.4 or you will cause other problems.
There’s more information in the book on these parameters and also on what
is needed to prevent kidney problems in diabetes.
Beyond this, you will need to arrange a consultation with Dr. Sircus. See: http://naturalallopathicclinic.com/
The everyday toxins we are being exposed to can be removed with the use of clay, internal and in baths, iodine (removes chlorine, fluoride, and bromines as well as others) and magnesium protects the cells from heavy metals and other pollutants.

Thank you for this great information. One word of caution – Arm & Hammer has aluminum in it. Find an aluminum-free baking soda like Bob’s Red Mill instead.
Carole,
Arm and Hammer does not have aluminum in it. We have communicated directly with the company who assures us that this s not true. Theirs is 100% pure sodium bicarbonate from natural sources (Trona ) Some companies like Bob’s REd Mill use the “aluminum free” advertising just to grab people’s attention.

Could you please tell me if bicarbonate soda and/or magnesium oil could reverse osteoporosis? I’m desperately searching for a “cure” and would appreciate your opinion so much.
THANK YOU!!!

Dear Cathy,
Sorry to hear about your osteoporosis. Magnesium has a lot to do with osteoporosis which affects so many people. Please see the essay on the Magnesium Online Library site tittled Magnesium fights Osteoporosis. And you should change your diet to a more alkaline diet, using sodium bicarbonate to jump start that process. Check your ph daily and let it be your guide to how much bicarbonate you need.

Dear Dr. Sircus,
WOW! I’ve read about the wonderful effects of ACV and have been using it for sometime now, but had no clue about BS!! I have a number of health issues that I have been struggling to address in a more holistic, natural, healthy way. I am going to do some more reading about BS and Magnesium.
I has sever Scoliosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis,Fibromyalgia,along with numerous environmental and food allergies and I am extremely curious to know if ACV, BS and Magnesium would be of benefit to these conditions. I would greatly appreciate any feed back. I am on so many different medications for these conditions and I am desperately searching for a way to heal my body so that I can ditch as many of the pills as I possibly can.

have noticed 90% relief of joint pain associated to carpal tunnel syndrome along with repetitive motion trama in rotator cup which could come back and flare up,does not.I also would repeatedly get a cold which would turn into bronchitus and since using this method of remedy, no more colds that would hang on from day’s to weeks.Come to think of it…no flu symptom’s nor any other ailment’s.I have read where it can drastically reduce symptoms of asthma and I also breathe much better.”Be careful” though to people with hypertension and high blood pressure, use may have isolated risk in raising blood pressure considering sodium intake
For how long a person can take sodium bicarbonate powderand what are the side effect if existed.
Abdoollah,
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you are treating a cancer and trying to raise pH to 8 it should only be kept up there for a few days. If you are trying to alkalinize your body you can use it until your diet allows your pH to remain around 7.3.
Side effects are minimal, but if your body becomes tooalkaline for too long problems can occur (pH over 7.3)….you need to do a daily check with pH strips when using sodium bicarbonate. If you are using too much it may cause diarrhea, cramping and gas. Some people with kidney problems are prescribed baking soda on a daily basis long term. Please read Dr. Sircus’ book on Sodium Bicarbonate for more information.
HELOO.
mY FATHER HAS BEEN DOING IV WITH BICARBONATE FOR 2 DAYS – 50 ML SOLUTION 8,4%. hE HAS 2 METSRASES ONE ON THE SHOULDER AND ONE ON THE BACK NEAR THE SPINE (ABOVE THE BOTTOM).hOW MUCH TIME SHALLL WE DO IT? WHat do u think? shall we stop to 1o days as some told us …HE ALSO TAKE . 2 SPSOONS WITH BICARBONATE WITH MAPLE SYRUP OR HE CAN TAKE IT JUST SIMPLE.
I take a teaspoon of baking soda (Arm and Hammer) before bedtime to keep my pH above 7. After all, if the correct pH for plants is necessary for their survival, why not for people (as some deny!)
Recently someone said, NO, Arm and Hammer has aluminum. Just ask them. Then you say “no it doesn’t”. What is the truth?
I have HIV/HCV, and am on ARV’s, so I need to make sure my liver is not stressed any more than necessary.
Thanks,
Rod
Dear Rod,
We have communicated with Arm and Hammer and have been assured that their baking soda does NOT contain aluminum. If the box says 100% sodium bicarbonate, by law that is what it contains. Only sodium bicarbonate.
Baking powder often contains (or used to) aluminum and these two products are often confused. Baking soda is not the same as baking powder which has additives in it.
I have been experimenting with body pH since recently reading a book about alkaline diet. I find testing with the pH paper frustrating because of the ambiguity between colors presented to compare to and the actual colors that occur on the paper. I have begun researching meters to test pH, but it’s a bit of a project, and I’m wondering if you could recommend some brands so I can just cut to the chase.
Dear KT,
I’m sorry but we have no specific recommendations for testing pH. I and Dr. Sircus both do ok with pH papers commonly found in the health food stores. Some devices and test strips are advertised as being more precise…but we have not tried these. You would have to do a trial of some of these to see which you are most comfortable with….and if anyone has recommendations, please let us all know!
I am an IDDM, currently on dialysis, and have had multiple other health problems arise since my renal failure happened last year. During the prior year, as my kedneys were failing, my doctor took me off of sodium bicarbonate, which he had prescribed to me for too much acid in my blood. I loved it because it helped with the awful heartburn I was having during that time when I had swelled up 30+ lbs. At my last check up, they drewe blood, as they do monthly, and called me today saying the lab had called with a critical low in my tests. My sodium level was 113, compared to a normal result of 140. I had it bottom out on me just a month ago, and I passed out in the corner store, and ended up in the hospital for 9 days. Would the sodium bicarbonate raise my sodium level to closer to normal? I still have the pills and they are still within date.
Thank you for any info on this!
Love your site and will have much future use for it !!!
Dear Wendy,
Correction of hyponatremia is not as simple as increasing your sodium intake.
Blood sodium concentrations are maintained under precise control by various metabolic mechanisms, such as:
• Stimulation of thirst
• Secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
• Secretion of aldosterone (another hormone)
• The handling of water and sodium by the kidneys
You must find out the cause of the low sodium levels and treat accordingly. Sometimes it requires a further fluid restriction, sometimes IV correction and sometimes increased intake can fix things, but too fast of an increase in serum sodium can have neurological effects. You need to contact your physician as soon as possible to plan the best course of action. This is complicated further by your being on dialysis.
Its not clear why you were taken off the sodium bicarbonate and you need to talk with the MD about this too.. Some studies show no effect on sodium levels when using sodium bicarbonate, but others believe it does elevate levels in the serum.
Sodium bicarbonate has also been shown to delay progression of kidney failure. Please talk with your doctor about this situation. Low sodium levels are very dangerous, just as too high levels can be. You might even want to get a second opinion if you are not satisfied with your MD’s answers ….thats your right!!
Great site. Thanks for all the good support that you offer. We have been using baking soda for almost 25 years. We had a school of holistic health for 11 years in CA. We use baking soda for washing our face and I use it about once a week in the shower to wash my entire body. It gently exfoliates the skin and stimulates new cell growth. My husband also uses it for under arm deodorant. I see that someone above has also found that great remedy. I can’t wait to try the other cures.
My question is I have two young grandsons who have recently been stricken with what was diagnosed as the stomach flu. They have had nausea for almost two weeks, on and off. Their ages are five and six. Just wondering about the baking soda and doses for small children.
Thanks again for this community and the support.
Dear Annie,
Sodium Bicarbonate is not recommended for oral consumption for children under age 5. Sodium bicarbonate baths are gentler. Bicarbonate is said to deplete folic acid and B vitamins and potassium. in children……do not give for more than 2 weeks and then make sure to supplement with vitamins. For specific dosing you would have to seek a consultation with Dr. Sircus. But you can start off very slowly to check the children’s response.
I check my ph level each morning and night. Have been doing this for two weeks now. Each time, my saliva ph shows acidic, and my urine ph shows alkaline. I cant get any other reading. what gives?
Edward,
Be sure to c heck your pH before eating or drinking anything in the am and at least 2 hours after meals in the evening. What you recently eat or drink can affect the saliva pH.
i have been checking my ph before eating or drinking anything. it is still the same. acidic saliva, alkaline urine. the same everyday, for weeks now
Hi Edward,
I have read that high intake of sugars and meats will cause this kind of problem you describe with acidic saliva and alkaline urine. Perhaps it would be beneficial to you to take a careful look at your diet, you can even do an internet search on this and find many authorities who offer ways to change this pH situation. Are you using sodium bicarbonate ? All you mention is your pH testing, so its hard to determine the reason for this problem without more information from you. Perhaps you would like to take part in a complete consultation on this with Dr. Sircus to sort through your issues and develope an appropriate plan of action? I’m, afraid there is no easy answer to give in this comment type of setting.
Most suggestions are to cut out all sugars and high protein foods, drink water with lemon juice at least twice a day, increase intake of green leafy vegetables etc. to balance the body’s pH.

Hi
I’m trying to make my vagina fluid alkaline so what the best way of using bicarbonate of soda for
This , drink it with water or washing the vagina with it what best and how much is the quantity . Thanks
Fahima,
Why are you tryinng to do this? Some people believe that it is the acidity in the vagina that prevents urinary tract infections and too much alkalinity promotes it. However you can use a douche or drink the bicarbonate….and again, the dosages and frequency should be guided by your personal pH readings done on a daily basis.
does anyone know how to mix bicarb of soda for use in vagina for cervical cancer or someone please tell me the best way to use bicarb to help kill my cancer
[...] well it’ll will be baking soda and water to pH balance my system to the rescue for me, [note] bad bacteria and viruses can’t proliferate in a [...]
I am very acidic 5.5 PH. I was wondering what is a good amount of
Sodium Bicarbonate to begin with daily? Thanks!
Juli,
Start off slow with one quarter of a teaspoon in a half to full cup of water once or twice a day……check your pH daily and see how the readings change and adjust the amount you are taking according to the daily readings. Do not exceed the maximum recommended dosage unless treating a cancer. (no more than 7 half tsp./day if age 55 and younger, no more than 3 half tsp if over 55:}
There is no aluminum in ANY baking soda. No Company has ever put aluminum in their baking soda.
Someone started this rumour 10 years ago and I suspect it will take another 100 years before the uninformed finally, mercifully, come to understand there is not now, and never has been, any aluminum in ANY baking soda.
Or maybe it will take 200 years.
Fred
Thanks Fred,
As long as the package states : 100% sodium bicarbonate, there is no aluminuim in it. People get this confused with “baking powder” which is a combination of ingredients, one of which often is aluminum. But these are two different products. People need to learn the difference so they don’t purchase the baking powder instead of the baking soda.
Hi
i want to start to use baking soda with apple cider vinegar, just as a detox is this ok ?
if so what sort of levels of SB and acv should i use? and how often should i use it?
Steve,
We generally do not recommend sodium bicarb and vinegar….but it should be fine as there are plenty of remedies reported with ACV. Google sodium bicarbonate and vinegar to see what dosages are being used.
I have been adding baking soda to my espresso machine water to raise the ph of the coffee and this has been effective for eliminating any acid reflux after coffee and breakfast. My greater concern is whether the aluminum boilers in the espresso machine would be adversely reacting with the baking soda. Seems like i could be doing more harm than good so i am trying to find out the correct answer to this issue. Any thoughts? Thanks
Hi Steve,
Not being a chemist I personally have no idea if the sodium bicarb will react with the aluminum boilers in the espresso machine….perhaps another reader will know your answer.
But why not just take the sodium bicarb separate from the coffee, or add it to the coffee after it has gone through the machine. Anyone who can answer , your help would be appreciated.
I love your site, got from a friend today, God bless you all.
To Steve 8 Jan 2012 2.44 am.Have you read Hulda Clark’s book “Cure for All Diseases”. This may be out of context but it mentions under Brushing Teeth that Bicarbonate of soda is recommended if one has any metal fillings. Don’t think it would be a problem with your coffee filter.
None of the store products work for me. If you’re a lady, and you know the maddening pain, doctor visits, nasty antibiotic prescriptions, and repeat visits associated with recurrent UTI. Please note, I’m not a doctor, and UTI’s have the potential to turn into serious bladder infections, and a bladder infection cannot be gotten rid of without some hardcore antibiotics.
The Lady Soma Detox is the only detox product on the market that prevents my UTI’s. I take as directed, and never have to experience a UTI as long as I drink a lot of water. You have to drink tons of water (and that alone is not what prevents the UTI, believe me). I don’t know how it works, I just know it does. This is totally anectodal. Always see your doctor. Good luck!
Dear Martie,
Along with drinking lots of water, I hope you have tried iodine and sodium bicarbonate when you start to feel the symptoms of a UTI.

Hello I’m a Colon Hydrotherapist and I wanted to know How can bi carb soda kill candida? If so, what’s the remedy? would you recommend that it be used when doing an enema or a colonic?
I have Morgellons in my mouth lips and face. How can I apply this baking soda therapy for my morgellons?
Wendy,
I don’t think we’ve had experience with bicarbonate and Morgellons disease….but just mix some bicarbonate in water and swish it around your mouth a few times/day. For your skin just mix some with a bit of water to make a paste and either leave it dry on your face and wash off or use it as a facial scrub. Its a great exfoliant too.
how can you use the sodium bicarbonate cure if you are salt sensitive?
Bobby,
We have seen studies that show that bicarbonate of soda does not raise blood pressure as sodium chloride does….however this is not conclusive evidence and we recommend that salt sensitive people use sodium bicarbonate under caution and under the supervision of a qualified health care provider. You must also watch your won blood pressure to see the effect the bicarb may be having and stop the use if you see bp increasing too much.
I am also salt sensitive but find that for me, the sodium bicarbonate does not affect my blood pressure.
Hello,
Just getting over gout and I was wondering; can baking soda be used as a preventive measure after achieving the proper ph level, let’s say one dose per week, bi-weekly , once per month etc? Or should it be use only during necessary conditions?
Chuck,
Itseems that most people use the sodium bicarbonate treatment only when a flare-up begins. It works rapidly to resolve the situation (generally within 24 hours0.
There are other lifestyle changes that one must adhere to for prevention of future episodes. Do a google search for gout and sodiium bicarbonate and see the many ways peope use this.
Hi,
My dad’s been diagnosed with stage 4 corectal cancer which has metastased. He has started chemo and is taking the Jim Kelmun Protocal (maple syrup with Bicarbonate soda).
Any advice?
Any recos that might help.
Thanks,
J
Jay,
Dr. Sircus is now recommending that black-strap molasses be used instead of maple syrup as there are more nutrients in molasses. Dr. Sircus would also recommend getting the bicabonate as directly to the cancer site as possivbvle, possibly with enemas……body pH needs to be raised to 8. Read Dr. Sircus’ book on Sodium Bicarbonate for more information.
68 year old female. Diagnosed with stage 3 uterine C in 6/10. Hysterectomy 8/10. Refused radiation treatment. Started bleeding 1/12. Doc reports walnut size growth on vagina. Waiting on results of biopsy. Doc feels a reoccurence.
Saliva test positive for candida. Am against radiation and chemo. Interested in trying a different approach. Am aware of need to change diet. Juicing is on list for changes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
More information. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes recently. Not taking any medication. Just watching. Hypertension since 1975. Taking two meds (Lisinopril HTCZ and Metoporal). Also take vitamin C, D3, and garlic. Doc has me down for renal II disease but only mentioned reduced activity with kidneys.
Dear Patricia,
First thing you should do is get the books on Sodium bicarbonate and Transdermal Magnesium Therapy. If you wish to follow Dr. Sircus’ protocol after reading these you will need a consultation with him for more specific directions.and support. Bicarbonate, iodine, and magnesium should all help with your conditions of diabetes, and cancer as well as candida.
I purchased the Rich Man Poor Man book. Is there more information in the other book? I have purchased the soda, have ordered the magnesium and will purchase Iodine either tonight or online tomorrow. I’m going to check with my health food store to see if they carry the Nascent Iodine. I’ll be picking up the ph testors and some molasses tonight. Is a consultation with Dr. Sircus very expensive? I’ll purchase the other book if you think I need to do so. Thanks for your quick answer.
Hi Patricia,
All of Dr. Sircus’ books are excellent and give different information . Learning about iodine and learning about magnesium, which support any effortsx at healing cancers is crucial . If after reading the books you need more guidance you can get a consultation and more in-depth support.

Really valuable and different information here. I didn’t know that bicarbonate can do wonders for your health!
Hi John,
Bicarbonate really works on colds and flu…..I use it each time I feel the symptoms starting up and by the next day its all gone! I think I only need about three doses to ward it off.
Does baking soda cure retinal holes detachment?
Dear Goz,
We have not heard of baking soda curing retinal holes, a form of retinal detachment. However magnesium is very important in eye diseases and has shown beneficial effect in macular degeneration, and retinopathy of diabetes. With detachment it is not known if it will cure it, but is used as a supportive treatment during eye surgeries to repair the detachments.
Hi
Do you have any experience of Sodium Bicarbonate being used to treat psoriasis?
Thanks
Hi,
I was wondering, iv tried drinking a glass of sodium bicarb in water (1/2 teaspoon) before bed, but i find it makes me gag and is just woeful. Can i add it to juice or add a cordial or something, or add it to food instead? Also does drinking carbonated soda water which is just carbonated water and bicarb or soda the same. Iv been drinking that with a dash of grapefruit juice but im not sure if it benefits. Iv been thinking of buying capsules to put it into. Would that be a good idea. Sorry for all the questions and thank you kindly.
Dear Aoife,
You can purchase soidum bicarbonate in capsule form….do google search for this….many outlets for this or yes, you can put it into capsules yourselrf. Also, half a teaspoon ofr sodium bicarbonate may be too much to take at one time for you, you can cut it in half and try that in water. Sodium bicarbonate should be completely dissolved before drinking it down so best not to add it to your food.
Drinking carbonated water is not the same as adding sodium bicarbonate.
Dear Mike,
We have seen the reports and some research that sodium bicarbonate used as a paste can help with psoriasis. So does topical magnesium and topical cannabis or hemp oil.
Its good news what Sodium Bicarbonate can to to the overall health
and its no expensive either.
Can you recommend a place to buy magnesium supplements in North America (preferably Canada) and iodine which I’ve read that you recommend doing with the BS/Maple syrup.
Thank you for the valuable information!

Hello – such an excellent site – many thanks.
My sister is beginning treatment with Bicarb soda – half teaspoon 2x daily for systemic chronic (now 12 yrs) Candidiasis. She will also purchase test strips to monitor pH.
How long until she could expect any changes? weeks or months?
Diet has been severely restricted for years ( alkaline and low allergenic) and many many treatments tried previously, several of which help at the time, only for symptoms to return after finishing the product.
I suggested Na Bicarbonate therapy because I believed this would beneficially alter her pH and kill the candida; Am I right and would you have any other helpful suggestions?
Thanking you kindly in advance, Sunny.
Sunny,
Your sister with candida would benefit from being on Dr. Sircus’ full protocal which would also include magnesium chloride, iodine, probiotics and edible clay besides the bicarbonate.
Hi,
Great site with lots of useful information!
I was wondering if you would be able to give a little advise to me please.
My mum has been diagnosed with stage 3 tonsil cancer scc which has spread to a lump in her neck and 2 lymph nodes.
She had both tonsils out on tues 4th may and they are not yet sure if they can remove the lump on her neck but they are going to be giving her chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
At the moment her throat is still very sore after the operation.
We have been told that after a short amount of time whilst she is having the radiation therapy she will need a tube down her throat to receive food/liquids that way as she will not be able to eat.
Can you give any suggestions to what would be good for us to look into her trying and doses ect please.
All info will be gratefully received.
Many thanks, Lisa
Dear Lisa,
Sorry to hear abut your mother and what she has been through. Dr. Sircus’ protocol using sodium bicarbonate is a natural approach that has helped people in even late stages of cancer. You can read all about this in his book on sodium bicarbonate which is available here:
http://publications.imva.info/index.php/e-books/sodium-bicarbonate-rich-man-s-poor-man-s-cancer-treatment-e-book.html
The sodium bicarbonate will kill the fungus believed to cause cancers…along with other things on Dr. Sircus protocol.
We cannot get into the full protocol with dosing here, and I suggest you contact IMVA and get an appointment with Dr. Sircus for consultation where he can direct you further into what to do.
