Re: baking soda therapy myth

[Guest guest]

I'd like to address the myth of baking soda therapy: Sodium bicarb yields only

sodium and carbon. Excess sodium must be eliminated to preserve electrolyte

level in a narrow range and is a health risk at prolonged high doses. Carbon is

net acidic and must be immediately eliminated to preserve alkalinity of the

blood within a couple of points and keep the individual alive.

So, it's a relatively risky high-dose sodium therapy.

Sodium is 30-50 times lower in cells than in blood and lymph. Most people are in

sodium excess but low to deficient in potassium. Using potassium instead of

sodium salts will avoid the sodium and the carbonate entirely.

A high-sodium diet combined with low potassium can result in muscle damage and

wasting due to rhabdomyolysis, which is a process of deletion of mitochondrial

energy centers, subsequent cell death, and mnscle wasting. The wasting is

obvious when the symptom is sudden death due to cardiac failure, but less

obvious when it results in large musclke aches similar to that which statin

drugs produce. Statins also cause rhabdomyolysis and death due to heart attack.

So, sodium/bicarb in large amounts can give you a side effect that mimics that

of one of the most problematic drugs you can buy. Several people of a couple of

lists have come forward with exactly that issue; I think one or two frequent

this group.

I simply sprinkle potassium salts on my food as " No-Salt " . Potassium is quickly

taken up by cells rather than eliminated to save your life, it's much more

alkalising than sodium, and it provides the molecule inside the cells whjere it

is needed.

For detailed information on the role minerals play I suggest a brilliant work,

" The Electrical Properties Of Cancer Cells " by Haltiwanger, M.D.

Where do you get potassium salts?

I saved that article, will read when I can.

No-Salt is sold in the salt section of the supermarket. There are a couple of

brands, some low- and some no-sodium; I choose one with no sodium because I eat

cheese and processed meat, both of which are preserved with salt. I have kelp

for the iodine.
