Sodium Bicarbonate: Nature's Unique First Aid Remedy Paperback – June 2, 2014

I read a lot of health books, many of which say the same thing. This book is different and highly fascinating and should be a must read for everyone. Every cancer patient should read it. I've always know about alkaline vs acid, but I've learned so much with this book. You won't regret this purchase!

It was either James Thurber or Robert Benchley that once said that pidgeons are boring. That you could dress up a pidgin in little tuxedos or diamond jewelry (not exactly what which one of them actually said, but it makes the point intended to be made) and they would still be boring.The same thing could be said of baking soda. I have always avoided getting worked up about the acid/alkaline issue not because doubted there was some value in it, but because something in me just knew that no matter how relevant, nothing an author can say would make facts about baking soda un-boring.The best thing I can remember getting excited about baking soda, was when I was a kid and you could get a small plastic submarine in Cracker Jacks or some breakfast cereal that had a place you could fill with baking soda and then put it in a container of water and it was supposed to submerge and then come back up again, which it did rather poorly, but it did it, thanks to good old reliable baking soda.Yet I just paid some crazy amount of money to send for 'food grade' or some other fancy named baking soda of the finest degree, to enhance my health and comfort my kidneys while in my heart I believe that the box of baking soda I got for 99 cents only is just as good. But as the Archie McSomething Catalog said, 'you will probably only buy one rubber chicken in Your life, so why not get the very best?'The author of this book did good job of giving information on a zillion things that baking soda is and can do, and I got a lot farther than I thought I would get in reading the book. But I feel satisfied knowing that the very best baking soda will soon be prominently displayed in my kitchen cabinet.I have reviewed a lot of books recently which I thought were of little value other than the writer taking a shot at making money off of some recent fad diet name or other 'trending' point that people into social media will buy. This is not one of those books, the author is clearly giving you all the information you will ever need to know to appreciate baking soda and to make decisions about what baking soda should be in your own life.I will put this book on the shelf and I betcha a time will come that I need to check some baking soda fact and will be able to do so easily and accurately because I have this book. It is unlikely that there will ever be any new information about baking soda that requires me to get another book .Perhaps the zippered padded hoodie that came on my 'Northern Exposure' DVD's will fit this book, and I may still have some pop beads from the 50's that I can adorn it with. But like pidgeons, no matter what an author can do, baking soda will always be boring. Most of my like I could open a cupboard somewhere in my home and see that trusty gold box with the arm and hammer. And use it as I chose but did not have to read about it.However I do happen to have a really great, and absolutely true baking soda story that you will never forget..Years ago at a thanksgiving gathering of UFO and survivalist people at my home, a girl staying at my ranch at the time was really impressed by 'left over hippie from the 60's' mystique, and badly wanted to get into the conversation. She told the group that she had put together an emergency backpack in case the 'big one' hit. My ranch is within a mile of the San Andreas fault line, but I could not see the value of putting on a backpack and hiking off into the desert away from where everything you could possibly need, such as stored water and food was.I asked her what she planned to do out in the desert. . She said she could weave rope out of natural desert plants, and she had a lot of baking soda in the back pack so she could smell fresh.Having read this book I now understand how much more she could have done with all that baking soda.

Covers several uses for sodium bicarbonate, as well as health benefits.

Have known about beneficial effects of sodium bicarbonate for a while. This book adds more info that's helpful to know. The main problem is that all the actually useful info concerning proper dosages and various ways to use this substance could have been written in 50 pages or less

I own more than 300 doctor and health books, 30 concerning Cancer, but still by reading this book I received much new knowledge, among other learning that Bicarbonate actually, but unknown by most doctors, are used in their injections in the hospital emergency rooms. This as Sodium Bicarbonate is used to get a fast emergency helping balance in the blood. And besides routinely are used to keep the toxicity of Chemotherapy agents and Radiation from killing people or from destroying their Kidney. I only knew that one of my friends who have destroyed part of his Kidney by Whisky, now in his Whisky uses Sodium Bicarbonate for helping his Kidney.To me the book especially was interesting by containing much writings about fighting Cancer cells either by Oxygen or by getting the pH in the body up to the Alkaline at 8, or 8+, as Cancer lives in Acid and die in Alkaline. And concerning getting the pH value up at 8, we for example, from the side 145, gets 4 sides from a persons, a pioneer, writings about how he was afflicted with aggressive prostate cancer spread to the bone. And thereby being a walking dead man, who decided to do the 11 days Baking Soda Therapy, but in addition with the Black Strap Molasses. On the sides we then follow his daily pH results, and the on the last days having little weak diarrhea and headache, and then finally as the test result after 11 days how no longer with convincing evidence that cancer had moved to the bones.And for example the 7 lines from a person K.W., on side 143, telling how he by Baking Soda was saved from Pancreatic cancer, after being told only having 5 – 8 month left to live, and then besides resulting in his BP having changed from 246/116 to 114/68.To me the book is good by at places showing the easily understood chemical formulas concerning the connections results. As for example how the Baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate) NaHCO3 + the Stomach acid (HCl) result in Yields salt (NaCl) + Water (H20) + Carbon dioxide (CO2), and thereby getting the wanted CO2 into the body/blood.Among other we learn that it’s good to take baths with Sodium bicarbonate, either with whole of the body in a bathtub or especially for Diabetes just taking this bath for the feet and legs, and thereby reducing their chance in losing their legs.And for example we read lines telling that people who live at very high altitudes live significantly longer as having lower incidence of cancer and heart diseases, as at high altitude the balance between CO2 and O2 is different by the CO2 being in greater presence than the O2.And on the side 149 we get interesting statements quite opposite to the normally told about the Urinary pH on 6.5 being the target, and where it in the morning normally are less, as we here learn that for each whole number in the pH it increases the Oxygen to the cells ten-fold, 10^n. So for example by changed from 5 in pH to 7 in pH the Oxygen to the cells is increased 100 times. And many persons, especially when hit by Cancer, in the morning have a pH value on only 5 for the Urine; and Cancer is killed by Oxygen.But to me it especially was interestingly reading about Fungal, where Sodium Bicarbonate is a proven antifungal in Agriculture, and especially that by many science persons it now is believed that Cancer and Diabetes are the results of some of some of the 400 bad Fungal, out of the existing 1.5 – 5 millions. By reading the book I got so interested in getting more new writing about Fungal so that I immediately ordered a science book concerning Fungal.But all put together the book is good in reading by persons who want to know more about how by the cheap Backing Soda to live healthy, where without doubt most doctors don’t know anything about Sodium Bicarbonate if we ask them. Even though it is connected into the Bohr Effect of delivering more Oxygen out into the body, which we learn about in the book, and as mentioned that it’s used in emergency rooms.

Everyone should read this book
