Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is as common as aspirin in pharmacies world over but even the most intelligent doctors fail to see it as the powerhouse medicine that it is.

Sodium bicarbonate is an excellent and necessary nutrient emergency room medicine that has a powerful systemic effect of balancing cell voltage, cell and tissue pH, oxygenation and most importantly it increases CO2 levels. Mainstream oncology recognizes that infections frequently cause cancer (including fungus) and for sure it has always been recognized that late stage cancer patients suffer from late-stage infections (including fungus). It is really difficult to find a late stage cancer suffer who is not suffering from an infection and it just so happens that sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is an excellent anti-fungal as well as pulling the rug out from under bacteria and viruses especially when used with iodine. Sodium bicarbonate is very easy to use in baths, orally or when nebulizing into the lungs when treating lung cancer.

Sodium bicarbonate aims for the heart of cancer by almost instantly increasing cell pH, cell voltage, cell oxygen as well as CO2 levels. Everyone knows that cancer hates oxygen as well as disliking alkalinity, so to dismiss baking soda as a treatment for cancer is ludicrous.

It’s the CO2 that creates the ideal medical effect of sodium bicarbonate. CO2 dilates the vessels so more O2 is delivered and that is just one effect of increased CO2 levels. The bicarbonate ion is amphoteric, meaning that it can behave as either an acid or a base, depending on what it reacts with. If a bicarbonate ion is combined with an acid, then it behaves as a base. H+ + HCO3- <==> H2O + CO2 …and carbon dioxide is liberated.

If bicarbonate is combined with a base, then it behaves as an acid. OH- + HCO3- <==> HOH + CO3

We normally think of it as a base because it raises the pH of water by accepting a proton: HCO3- + H2O <==> H2CO3 + OH- But if you add bicarbonate to a strongly basic solution, it actually lowers the pH by donating a proton: HCO3- + OH- <==> CO3 (2-) + H2O

The best combination is to take sodium bicarbonate with potassium bicarbonate. You not only get bicarbonate, but you also get the needed potassium, which is very helpful for cancer patients and everyone else.

The key to safe use of sodium bicarbonate is the monitoring and testing of both urinary and saliva pH with pH test paper or an electronic tester. People should do this every morning and chart their results, and whenever taking strong baking soda baths, do the same thing soon after getting out of the tub. We do not want the urinary pH to go over 8.0, and Arm & Hammer suggests right on the box to stop therapy to let the pH drop back down after a week of high use.

Cancer patients who are on chemotherapy though need to know that the side effects of chemotherapy, breakdown of tumor cells, hormones produced by certain types of tumors and extensive replacement of the adrenal glands by tumors can all result in high potassium blood levels, according to the Manual of Clinical Oncology. High levels of potassium can cause muscle weakness, numbness and tingling, abnormal heart rhythm, muscle paralysis, trouble breathing, and even heart failure and death. In addition, very high white blood cell or blood platelet counts can cause an artificial increase in potassium in a test sample after the blood is drawn.

Orthodox oncologists use bicarbonate to treat cancer; they just don’t brag about it. They do not use it in their minds that way but what they are doing when using bicarbonate to buffer the highly toxic chemo agents is that they are preventing patients from dropping dead on the table from the toxic shock when the poisons are pumped in.

When a person raises CO2 levels by using bicarbonate or breathing retraining, they raise O2 levels as well as pH and cell voltage. Sodium bicarbonate loading and continuous infusion protects cardiac surgery patients from acute kidney injury. Oral sodium bicarbonate eases hyperphosphatemia in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with metabolic acidosis. With oral sodium bicarbonate, serum bicarbonate improves significantly.

Sodium bicarbonate treatment corrects metabolic acidosis. Many professionals believe that using baking soda in medicine is a bad idea. Try telling that to an emergency room doctor when one of his patient’s blood is boiling with acidity. S/He will push bicarbonate into the bloodstream to save his patient’s life. Doctors who reject the use of sodium bicarbonate are actually doctors who do not know much about medicine.

With appropriately monitored administration through baths and oral intake, one easily gets the urine up to the ideal cancer-treating pH of 8.0. This is the sweet spot to get the greatest therapeutic effect against cancer and other serious diseases including the flu. Sodium bicarbonate saved lives during the great Spanish Flu epidemic in 1918, and it could save millions of lives today if doctors took off their blinders and made use of this great medicine.

Bicarbonate is present in all body fluids and organs and plays a major role in the acid-base balances in the human body. Bicarbonate is inorganic, very alkaline and like other mineral type substances supports an extensive list of biological functions.

Sodium bicarbonate happens to be one of our most useful medicines because bicarbonate physiology is fundamental to life and health. Baking soda is a compound that is found throughout nature, in the ocean, in the soil, in our foods, and in our bodies. Baking soda is a neutralizer of many other compounds, which makes it extremely helpful as a medicine in this age of toxicity.

Bicarbonate deficiency is the most unrecognized medical condition on earth even though it is extraordinarily common. Problems from acid pH levels (relative deficiency in bicarbonate ions) take a large toll from human physiology and the more acid a person gets the larger the problem for cell physiology. Every biochemical reaction is pH sensitive with enzymes being especially sensitive. Our diet plays an important role in maintaining appropriate pH levels in the body.

Most modern diets give rise to unhealthy acidic pH conditions. An imbalanced pH will interrupt cellular activities and functions to extreme levels as pH drops further. Excessive acidic pH leads to cellular deterioration which eventually brings on serious health problems such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and heartburn. The fact that the biological life functions best in a non-acidic (alkaline) environment speaks miles about the usefulness of baking soda.

Sodium bicarbonate is a natural substance that will not harm us, our children or the environment because it is not a chemical compound that effects nature in any kind of negative sense. Sodium bicarbonate is a very effective way of directly improving cellular health by making the tissue more alkaline.

Sodium bicarbonate can save the day when nothing else can. Life-threatening asthma in children is often resistant to treatment with bronchodilators and systemic corticosteroids. Recent research suggests that administering sodium bicarbonate—an ingredient commonly found in kitchens—in intravenous (IV) form can significantly improve pH and PCO2 in children with life-threatening asthma. The only other substance we can say the same about is magnesium chloride, which when injected, will save a person during cardiac arrest and pull one out of a stroke if given soon enough.

There has been work going on at the University of Arizona, using bicarbonate (baking soda) as a potential treatment for cancer. Robert J. Gillies and his colleagues have demonstrated that pre-treatment of mice with sodium bicarbonate results in the alkalinization of the area around tumors. This type of treatment has been found to "enhance the anti-tumor activity" of other anticancer drugs. This is very similar to the recently published research of injecting O2 directly into tumors where such direct administration of Oxygen also facilitated the action of chemotherapy.

Bicarbonate increases tumor pH (makes it more alkaline) and also inhibits spontaneous metastases. ORAL SODIUM BICARBONATE INCREASES THE PH OF TUMORS. IT ALSO REDUCES THE RATE OF LYMPH NODE INVOLVEMENT.

Sodium Bicarbonate is already in wide use and has been used for decades, even by oncologists who do not want their patients dropping dead too quickly because of the tremendous toxicity of their treatments. Sodium bicarbonate is used routinely to keep the toxicity of chemotherapy agents and radiation from killing people or from destroying their kidneys. In relation to bicarbonate, millions of people in the world either consume bicarbonate ions in drinking water or have been treated clinically with bicarbonate in hospitals, medical centers, or emergency. Sodium bicarbonate helps to save countless lives every day.

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is the ultimate heavy-weight work-horse medicine that every healthcare professional and parent should be knowledgeable about and routinely use. When combined with other strong, but basic, natural substances like magnesium chloride and iodine, one has at ones fingertips a trinity of medical super heroes ready to perform scientific medical miracles in a single bound.

Sodium bicarbonate is very beneficial during CPR. Earlier and more frequent use of sodium bicarbonate is associated with higher early resuscitability rates and with better long-term neurological outcomes in emergency units.

The alkalinizing sodium bicarbonate IV can often immediately stop an allergic reaction, or asthmatic attack, since such reactions cannot persist in an alkaline environment. Some people also get benefit from taking an alkalinizing drink every night to reduce their chemical sensitivity symptoms.

Uniformly, in ill patients, increasing the alkaline buffer of the tissues makes patients feel better. This is particularly true in chemically sensitive people and can actually be a "cure" in the sense that we are increasing the body's ability to react in a healthy way to noxious stimuli. The intravenous sodium bicarbonate is usually given twice a week for a period of 4-5 weeks.

Sodium bicarbonate loading and continuous infusion is associated with a lower incidence of acute renal dysfunction in cardiac surgical patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass.

Sodium bicarbonate is the time-honored method to 'speed up' the return of the body’s bicarbonate levels to normal.

It is not possible to be a fully educated medical professional without coming up to speed on vital information about sodium bicarbonate. Baking soda is an essential medicine, which no emergency room or intensive care ward would be caught without.

Sodium bicarbonate, CO2 and Oxygen (O2) are all tied together. All three are essential for biological existence on planet earth. CO2 is no more of a poison than water.

Sodium bicarbonate (Baking Soda) is probably one of the most useful substances in the world; no wonder the pharmaceutical companies don’t want doctors or anyone else to know much about it. Sodium Bicarbonate is an important medicine—of the safest kind—and it is essential when treating cancer, kidney and other diseases.

KIDNEY DISEASE

Bicarbonate—Magnesium
Sodium bicarbonate and magnesium chloride are not only excellent agents for natural chemotherapy, but they also are the most basic medicines we have for kidney disease. Sodium bicarbonate can dramatically slow the progress of chronic kidney disease. We don’t need a thousand years of tests to understand something as simple as water and it is quite the same with bicarbonate, which is always present in the best drinking waters.

Bicarbonate acts to simulate the ATPase enzyme by acting directly on it.

The simple household product used for baking, cleaning, bee stings, treating asthma, cancer and acid indigestion is so effective in treating kidney disease that it prevents patients from having to be put on kidney dialysis. The findings have been published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. Bicarbonate is a truly strong universal concentrated nutritional medicine that works effectively in many clinical situations that we would not normally think of. It is a prime emergency room and intensive care medicine that can save a person’s life in a heartbeat, and it is also a supermarket item that you can take right off the shelf and use for more things than one can imagine—including diaper rash.

The kidneys are usually the first organs to show chemical damage upon uranium exposure. Old military manuals suggest doses or infusions of sodium bicarbonate to help alkalinize the urine if this happens. This makes the uranyl ion less kidney-toxic and promotes excretion of the nontoxic uranium-carbonate complex. The oral administration of sodium bicarbonate diminishes the severity of the changes produced by uranium in the kidneys. It does this for all the heavy metals and other toxic chemicals, including chemotherapy agents, which are highly lethal, even in low dosages. After depleted uranium weapons were used, starting in the first Gulf War, the United States has polluted the world with uranium oxide, and it is showing up more and more in tests doctors make.

With a half-life of several billion years, we had better be prepared to get used to dealing with the toxic effects and help our bodies clear it more easily through the kidneys. Sodium bicarbonate is an absolute must item in any field hospital, and it should be used and recommended in all clinics and be present in every home medicine cabinet and first-aid kit.

Some people already on dialysis can reverse their condition with the use of sodium bicarbonate, though not everyone will be helped by taking bicarbonate. Those people who have difficulty excreting acids, even with dialysis using a bicarbonate dialysate bath, oral bicarbonate makes all the difference.

The exocrine section of the pancreas has been greatly ignored in the treatment of diabetes, even though its impairment is a well-documented condition. It is primarily responsible for the production of enzymes and bicarbonate necessary for normal digestion of food. Bicarbonate is so important for protecting the kidneys that even the kidneys get into the act of producing bicarbonate. Bicarbonate is the common denominator between diabetes and kidney disease. When the body is hit with reductions in bicarbonate output, that these two organs’ acid conditions create, the entire body physiology begins to fail.

The kidneys alone produce about two hundred and fifty grams (about a half-pound) of bicarbonate per day in an attempt to neutralize acid in the body.

The kidneys monitor and control the acidity or acid-base (pH) balance of the blood. If the blood is too acidic, the kidney makes bicarbonate to restore the blood’s pH balance. If the blood is too alkaline, then the kidney excretes bicarbonate into the urine to restore the balance. Acid-base balance is the net result of two processes, first, the removal of bicarbonate subsequent to hydrogen ion production from the metabolism of dietary constituents; second, the synthesis of “new” bicarbonate by the kidney.

It is considered that normal adults eating ordinary Western diets have chronic, low-grade acidosis which increases with age. This excess acid, or acidosis, is considered to contribute to many diseases, and the aging process. Acidosis occurs often when the body cannot produce enough bicarbonate ions (or other alkaline compounds) to neutralize the acids in the body, formed from metabolism, and drinking highly-acidic drinks like Coke, Pepsi, and others high in sugar and phosphoric acid. High protein diets can also be a problem in this regard and in the long run, give the kidneys a run for their money.

Acid-buffering, by means of base supplementation, is one of the major roles of dialysis. Bicarbonate concentration in the dialysate (Solution containing water and chemicals (electrolytes) that pass through the artificial kidney to remove excess fluids and wastes from the blood, also called “bath.”) should be personalized in order to reach a midweek pre-dialysis serum bicarbonate concentration of 22 mmol/l. Use of sodium bicarbonate in dialysate has been shown in studies to better control some metabolic aspects and to improve both treatment tolerance and patients’ life quality. Bicarbonate dialysis, unlike acetate-free biofiltration, triggers mediators of inflammation and apoptosis.

One of the main reasons we become acid is from over-consumption of protein or not digesting protein completely. Eating excess meat and dairy products may increase the risk of prostate cancer. We find the same for breast and other cancers as well. Conversely, mineral deficiencies are another reason and when you combine high protein intake with decreasing intake of minerals, you have a medical disaster in the making, through lowering of pH into highly-acidic conditions. When protein breaks down in our bodies, they break into strong acids.

Unless a treatment actually removes acid toxins from the body and increases oxygen, water, and nutrients, most medical interventions come to naught.

These acids must be excreted by the kidneys because they contain sulfur, phosphorus, or nitrogen, which cannot break down into water and carbon dioxide to be eliminated, as the weak acids are. In their passage through the kidneys, these strong acids must take a basic mineral with them, because in this way, they are converted into their neutral salts, and don’t burn the kidneys on their way out, which would happen if these acids were excreted in their free-acid form.

Substituting a sodium bicarbonate solution for saline infusion, prior to administration of radio-contrast material, seems to reduce the incidence of nephropathy.

Bicarbonate ions neutralize the acid conditions required for chronic inflammatory reactions. Hence, sodium bicarbonate is of benefit in the treatment of a range of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Sodium bicarbonate is a scientific medicine with known effects. When a treatment can be looked at in a scientific light, it can be more easily accepted. Sodium bicarbonate is effective in treating poisonings or overdoses from many chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs by also negating the cardio-toxic and neuro-toxic effects. It is the main reason it is used by orthodox oncology—to mitigate the toxic effects of chemotherapy.

Sodium bicarbonate possesses the property of absorbing heavy metals, dioxins and furans. Comparison of cancer tissue with healthy tissue, from the same person, shows that the cancer tissue has a much higher concentration of toxic chemicals, pesticides, etc.

Sodium bicarbonate injection is indicated in the treatment of metabolic acidosis, which may occur in severe renal disease, uncontrolled diabetes, and circulatory insufficiency, due to shock or severe dehydration, extracorporeal circulation of blood, cardiac arrest and severe primary lactic acidosis. The acid/alkaline balance is one of the most overlooked aspects of health, though many have written much about it. In general, the American public is heavily acid, excepting strict vegetarians, and even their bodies have to face increasing levels of toxic exposure.

MAGNESIUM BICARBONATE

Without magnesium, our pancreas won’t secrete enough insulin—or the insulin it secretes won’t be efficient enough—to control our blood sugar.

Without sufficient bicarbonate buffer, disease proliferates, as the body becomes acid. Without sufficient bicarbonates, the pancreas is slowly killed as are other tissues in the body. As the pancreas struggles to keep up with the need for more and more bicarbonate, it weakens and eventually, we see its pathology in terms of insulin, which is responsible, not only for controlling blood sugar, but cellular levels of magnesium as well. Without sufficient magnesium in the cells (as compared to the serum) cells and tissues degenerate across a broad spectrum of physiology.

Low serum and intracellular magnesium concentrations are associated with insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, and decreased insulin secretion.

Magnesium bicarbonate is not only the ultimate mitochondrial cocktail, it’s also the wonder drug combination for diabetes, cancer, heart disease, as well as kidney dysfunction. When one takes both magnesium chloride and sodium bicarbonate, the effects and force of one reinforces the actions and medicinal power of the other. In terms of medicine they are as closely paired as oxygen and carbon dioxide. It does not make sense to separate one from the other, and in fact, it’s a physiological impossibility. One will quickly kill someone with pure oxygen; one needs the CO2, even if our politicians think we don’t.

In the presence of magnesium and bicarbonate ions, less acid is produced by carbonic anhydrase enzyme.

We need large amounts of magnesium and bicarbonate ions for smooth running physiology. Unfortunately, pharmaceutical medicine not only neglects this foundational level of physiology it charges into the cellular sea with toxic drugs that make matters worse.

Alkalosis enhances magnesium reabsorption in the juxtamedullary proximal nephron.

Magnesium chloride and sodium bicarbonate are both considered medicines in their injectable forms, and both provide almost immediate relief to physiological disturbances. Fortunately both are sold as food substances and can be used by anyone for both oral and transdermal use, making them not only extremely useful in pediatric medicine, but also in chronic pain management.

It is magnesium that modulates cellular event involved in inflammation. Magnesium literally puts the chill on inflammation. Magnesium deficiencies feed the fires of inflammation and pain.

Magnesium bicarbonate buffers the mitochondria in body cells from excess acid concentrations which improves mitochondrial function and allows more ATP to be produced. Magnesium bicarbonate protects the natural organic and inorganic phosphate buffers in the cytoplasm of cells. Magnesium bicarbonate neutralizes the acid produced as a result of metabolic processes and ATP hydrolysis. This allows more ATP to be hydrolyzed; that is, more energy can be utilized. The kidneys represent the water element in Chinese medicine and the most effective method of regulating its health and function is with these water elements, magnesium chloride and sodium bicarbonate, both of which are heavily present in the sea and in all good mineral waters.

Kidney infections and inflammation are dangerous. Left untreated, they can cause blood poisoning, loss of a kidney, or even death.

Magnesium use when renal failure is present must be used with caution and under supervision as magnesium can quickly reach toxic levels when the kidneys can no longer excrete the body’s excesses. But in the face of growing magnesium deficiencies, calcium becomes increasingly more toxic to human physiology, so it is important to supplement with magnesium. This is done most effectively and safely transdermally.

CALCIUM – KIDNEY DISEASE – KIDNEY STONES

The associations among valvular calcification, inflammation, carotid atherosclerosis, and arterial calcification suggest that valvular calcification is a marker of atherosclerosis and arterial calcification in patients with end stage renal disease.

The most common cause of death in dialysis patients is cardiovascular disease. This is due in part to the presence of excess vascular calcification, particularly in the form of extensive coronary artery calcification, which can be observed even in very young dialysis patients. The presence of coronary artery calcification in the dialysis population appears to correlate in part with the ingested quantity of calcium-containing oral phosphate binders. Vascular calcification and arterial stiffening are independent predictors of all causes of cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Sodium bicarbonate-rich mineral water has a beneficial effect on calcium homeostasis.

People who have End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) typically experience changes in how well their bodies absorb calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D. This can lead to weakened bones (renal osteodystrophy). Unabsorbed calcium can lodge anywhere in our body. For instance, if it lodges in your bones and joints, it mimics arthritis; if it lodges in your heart, it mimics arterial lesions. Calcification or calcium poisoning can manifest as heart disease, cancer, wrinkled skin, kidney stones, osteoporosis, dental problems, bone spurs, cataracts and many other health problems.

Magnesium is the mineral of rejuvenation and prevents the calcification of our organs and tissues that is characteristic of the old-age related degeneration of our body.

Metastatic calcification occurs in the kidneys and lungs and in many other tissues when the serum level of calcium climbs. Kidney stones are associated with pathologic calcification, the process in which organs and blood vessels become clogged with calcium deposits that damage major organs like the heart and kidneys. Approximately 12 percent of men and 5 percent of women will develop kidney stones by the time they reach 70 years old. Some $5 billion is spent in the US each year to treat patients with kidney stones.

Magnesium increases the solubility of calcium in the urine. Supplementing magnesium to the diet has demonstrated significant effect in preventing recurrences of kidney stones.

Kidney stones don’t occur overnight. Stones tend to form when the kidneys suddenly develop a metabolic condition where it becomes unable to keep urinary wastes from clumping together. Once the blood carrying toxins is filtered by the kidneys, these dissolved wastes quickly move out of urine and begin forming solid blockages.

In essence, the real danger of excess acidity is the leeching of calcium that it causes. Simply put, excess acidity equals soft-tissue calcifications.

One of the most excruciating pains to bedevil mankind and the medical profession, ever since the dawn of history, is caused by kidney stones. The torture of passing a kidney stone was aptly described by one victim as “passing broken bottles, old razor blades, molten lead, and sulfuric acid garnished with bits of rusty barbed wire.” If you look at a kidney stone under a microscope, you’ll understand why the pain of passing a stone is unforgettable. Most stones are spiked with razor-sharp crystals. No wonder those who’ve gone through the experience say the agony is equivalent to a knife in the back.

Sodium bicarbonate administration increases urinary pH. Urinary pH between 6.5 and 7.0 can keep uric acid ionized and prevent its crystallization in renal tubules.

Sodium bicarbonate can prevent the formation of uric acid kidney stones and can help dissolve existing uric acid stones. Sodium bicarbonate makes the urine less acidic, which makes uric acid kidney stone formation less likely. Kidney stones develop when urine concentrations of minerals and other dissolved substances get so high that the minerals can no longer remain dissolved. Stones can also form if the pH (acid-alkaline balance) of urine is too high or too low. In all cases, the minerals form insoluble crystals and precipitate, or drop out, of the urine, exactly the same way too much sugar drops to the bottom of a glass of iced tea. The crystals collect in the kidney ducts, slowly solidifying into stones.

Most doctors these days rely on both dietary measures and drugs, often diuretics (which decrease urinary calcium and increase urine flow), to keep kidney stones from coming back, but diuretics are famous for driving down magnesium levels in the body, so in truth, the orthodox allopathic treatment needs to be trashed.

The most common type of kidney stone, made of calcium oxalate, is found in more than 80 percent of cases.

There is no doubt that magnesium’s potential for preventing stones has not been fully appreciated. Doctors think it doesn’t work because they don’t try it. In one study, in people who had at least two stones annually for five years, their stone formation dropped dramatically when they started taking 300 milligrams of magnesium a day.

Urine from people taking supplemental magnesium is capable of holding more than twice as much calcium oxalate in solution, compared with urine from people not taking magnesium.

Magnesium helps prevent calcium oxalate from crystallizing, although exactly how it does that isn’t known. When magnesium is deficient, things begin to die. In reality, one cannot take a breath, move a muscle, or think a thought without enough magnesium in our cells. The problem that comes with low magnesium (Mg) levels is the calcium builds up inside the cells while energy production decreases as the mitochondria gradually calcify. Thus, taking magnesium chloride and sodium bicarbonate together is ideal for cellular environments turned acidic and calcified.

TREATMENT OF DIABETES WITH BICARBONATE

We already know that sodium bicarbonate dramatically slows the progress of chronic kidney disease, but few have followed the conclusion that it would also be a front line defense against diabetes. From prevention to treatment and to part of a cure, common Baking Soda is an essential tool in working with diabetic and metabolic syndromes.

Pancreatic secretion of bicarbonate decreases in severe malnutrition, and it is known that most obese people are malnourished. The famous junk food diet that leads to diabetes is a diet guaranteed to create malnutrition and thus decreased bicarbonate flow, as well as severe magnesium deficiencies, which itself is a major cause of diabetes. The more acidic the foods, the more bicarbonate is needed; so the pancreas gets further and further behind as the demand increases for alkaline buffers.

Sodium bicarbonate injections are already indicated in the treatment of metabolic acidosis, which may occur in severe renal disease, uncontrolled diabetes, and circulatory insufficiency, due to shock or severe dehydration, extracorporeal circulation of blood, cardiac arrest and severe primary lactic acidosis. But sodium bicarbonate can be used safely at home orally and transdermally (and should always be used with magnesium chloride for greatest effect) during all stages of diabetes.

Improper pH balance puts diabetics at greater risk for complications such as kidney failure, gangrene, and blindness. A diabetic suffers from an excess of glucose in the bloodstream, glucose that cannot be delivered properly to the body’s cells due to lack of insulin. As the liver absorbs more and more of the excess glucose, its ability to remove toxins from the body becomes impaired.

At the moment, there is no useful remedy against fungi other than sodium bicarbonate. The anti-fungals that are currently on the market, in fact, do not have the ability to penetrate the masses (except perhaps early administrations of azoli or of amfotercin B, delivered parenterally), since they are conceived to act only at a stratified level of epithelial type. They are therefore unable to affect mycelia. We have seen that fungi are also able to quickly mutate their genetic structure. That means that after an initial phase of sensitivity to fungicides, in a short time they are able to codify them and to metabolize them without being damaged by them—rather, paradoxically, they extract a benefit from their high toxicity on the organism.

Sodium bicarbonate has successfully proven its antifungal value in agriculture to resolve fungal issues in vegetation, including many destructive diseases such as anthracnose, powdery mildew, and black spot in crops and horticultural industries. It has been successfully used to protect crops from fungus during storage. So when it comes to treating cancer and diabetes with sodium bicarbonate, it is important to appreciate that not only is bicarbonate alkalizing the body, eliminating bicarbonate deficiency, but it is also taking on fungi and yeast colonies at the same time.

It is not the symptoms of diabetes that should be treated, which end up in a lifetime of medicating with pharmaceutical drugs such as insulin and other toxic drugs. Organic diet, exercise and an understanding of the roles that magnesium, iodine, sodium bicarbonate and natural heavy metal chelators have in addressing the causes and wiping out the toxins and metals, thus allowing our immune system to successfully do its job.

Go out and buy some simple and inexpensive pH strips or tape and see for yourself how acid you are and start practicing pH medicine or what could be called bicarbonate medicine. Bring yourself back up to a healthy pH using sodium bicarbonate and magnesium chloride and see how much better you feel. Doctors and professors of medicine should be the first to rush out and take notes about their own personal experiences instead of waiting a few centuries for the truth to sink in.

What oncologists now have to concede is a direct relationship between what is causing diabetes, and what is causing cancer; with the diabetic condition itself contributing in a strong way to cancer. Then the medical schools will have to start looking at treatments that would address both conditions simultaneously—they will have to comprehend that all along, they have been using that treatment, that medicine, which is one of the principle keys to overall physiology and health.

The bicarbonate system has to come to the theater of medicine with sodium bicarbonate and magnesium bicarbonate put in spot lights on center stage. Magnesium bicarbonate is a complex hydrated salt that exists only in water under specific conditions. There are, however, a few companies selling magnesium bicarbonate formulas. The magnesium ion is Mg2+, and the bicarbonate ion is HCO3-. So, magnesium bicarbonate must have two bicarbonate ions: Mg (HCO3)2. Magnesium chloride and sodium bicarbonate taken at full strength with water at slightly separated times are an ideal way to supply magnesium ions and bicarbonate ions to body cells.

Unfortunately, most medical doctors and public health officials that control the show don’t have the spiritual fortitude to swallow their pride and arrogance because that is what it would take to ingest the idea that humble baking soda is the universal medicine that addresses diabetes, cancer and kidney disease at the same time.

It is humiliating and outright devastating for pharmaceutically-minded people to come to the realization that if they spent a trillion dollars on research and a thousand years looking, they will never find a replacement for or anything superior as a medicine than sodium bicarbonate. The only thing close they will find is magnesium chloride and iodine, appropriate and necessary sun exposure, clean water and air and even that necessary and healthy gas carbon dioxide, which sodium bicarbonate helps us create.

We live in a failing civilization that does not want the answers. So rotten are our core and principle institutions that we turn from what is right and true to what is most corrupt, and this corruption is at the heart of medicine, which would rather inject mercury into babies and poison the public’s water and food supplies than study and apply basic chemistry in medicine.
