Re: addressing the baking soda therapy myth

[Guest guest]

Sodium bicarb yields only sodium and carbon. Excess sodium must be eliminated to

preserve electrolyte level in a narrow range and it is a health risk to a lot of

people 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 and high-dose carbonic acid

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.

The reason I point out risk is thatr 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 muscle wasting. The wasting is

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

obvious when it results in large muscle 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 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 where 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.

If you are correct this is great information. I will have to study it.

Where can you get or what product name has (potassium salts)?

I use " No-Salt " , a potassium salt that is next to the table salt in the grocery

aisle.

Hi Duncan and all, Potassium is part of the Gerson diet, as many may know on this forum. But why is potassium high in the cells? Gilbert Ling discovered that potassium is held in the cells by the cell's protein www.gilbertling.org , I read his book 'Life at the Cell and Below-Cell Level', very interesting! He proofs that there are no potassium and sodium pumps necessary to keep the sodium out and the potassium in the cell (current teaching tells that those cell-membrane pumps are necessary to overcome the loss through osmosis!) but that through polarized charge sites along the protein chains, water 'crystallizes' in up to 7 layers around these protein chains and that potassium is locked in as well. The water in the cell is structured. Prof. Gerald Pollack from the U. of Washington followed up on Ling's research and did amazing experiments on structured water (watch his lecture:

). Well, that goes a bit off-topic but I thought I throw that in. His book ‘Cells, Gels and the Engines of Life’ is a must read! While we are at it, I want to throw in the discoveries by the chemical engineer M. Riddick on the Zeta potential (http://www.hbci.com/~wenonah/riddick/index.html ), which keeps particles afloat in a suspension (like the red blood cells in our blood). The Zeta potential is also important for good cardio-vascular health. It is noteworthy, that there are to completely different types of water systems in our body: The water in the cells, which is highly structured, like ‘Jell-O’ (which is a protein powder that when mixed with water makes structured water), while the water in our veins is optimized for low-friction flow and to keep its cargo afloat. There is one more important ‘water system’, the lymphatic system and that leads to Dr. C. West’s book ‘The Golden 7-Plus One’ www.speedhealing.com.

Hi ,

Potassium is 30 times or so higher in cells than in lymph and blood serum, and

sodium is 15 times higher in lymph and blood than in cells, probably to give

cells the electrical potential they need for decent ionic transfer.

I think you would find the Electrical Properties of Cancer Cells by Dr.

Haltiwanger to be interesting, because it explores the extracellular matrix as a

probable organ with distinct functions, as well as the cell's ionic exchanges.

I read some synopses of Ling's work and Pollack's book; sounds about right,

doesn't it? I agree that the pump theories have to be mostly wrong.

all good,

Duncan
