He is able to swallow soft gel capsules, I haven`t tried the veg. capsules

yet. What is your suggestion? I`m willing to try it. He was tested by his Dan

dr. He even put on the sheet of recommendations -baking soda, but never told

me how to give it- because his system is more acid, because he doesn`t eat

much protein. Thanks.

Hey, it is worth a try. I never heard of thermotab, but- I think this is sounds

like a shot. I know coffee does me badly. DOes not matter, regular or decaf,

the decaf does me worse, but both do me badly. I am thinking chocolate does,

too- and milk. (I do not drink pop)

> I talked to a friend tonight, a retired scientist, used to work within the

space program. I hadn't talked to him in a few years so he didn't know I had

RA. He immediately told me to put 1/4 tsp. of baking soda in a small glass of

warm water. He said to drink it about 1 1/2 hours after eating, 3 times a day.

He also said to take Thermotab 2 tablets at night. It is a combination of equal

parts sodium and potassium. The way he described his theory on RA, he said the

baking soda cuts down on the acid in the body and breaks down the saturated fat.

He said to stay away from sugars and fruits, as they will cause higher acid

levels in the body. I really don't understand it all and he may or may not know

what he's talking about. But, it seems simple enough to try. I do notice that

if I drink a soda, my pain is much worse. I was a Pepsi fanatic for a long time

and quit several months ago. My pain is much relieved. When I have a soda, as

I did today, I have very noticeable pain and swelling. Might be worth a try.

He said Thermotab is a Rexall drugstore tablet and he said some Wal-mart stores

carry them.

Many research studies have implicated diet as a major risk factor in the

development of rheumatoid arthritis. All of the foods that have been found

to worsen the symptoms of this disease are either highly acidic or produce

an acid response within the body. When volunteers with this disease were

taken off these foods and either fasted for a period of time or were placed

on more alkaline vegetarian diets, they experienced a notable improvement in

their symptoms.

Hi Gigi -

No, I haven't done either, but I did find a baking soda without

benzene in the health foods store and I bought a huge bag of it.

When it runs out, I will reconsider the information.

By the way, I wouldn't hesitate to ask a pharmacist to mix up a

special order, they might charge a small fee. I'm a frustrated

scientist anyway so I would probably try to get the ingredients and

mix it myself ;-D just for fun.

I don't think using the regular baking soda on occasion would present

any huge danger - especially since you are doing deep cleansing, any

even minute toxins would be released next flush....

Have a sparkling evening

Kari - Two different practitioners have recommended sodium bicarbonate (and/or potassium) bicarbonate to me. I asked for something to help me when I am having a health crisis, say, from a food sensitivity. It often helps. Probably has something to do with the acid/alkaline thing (which I just find sooo hard to understand, LOL)

Have a happy day - p

How do you make the baking soda concoction? Do you just put it in some water and

drink it down?

I've read and thought more about drinking it every day. I think I'm gonna' cut

back on the amount I drink or maybe only drink the strong amount 1X a week or

so. But, I'm still gonna' gargle, douche, and put it in my nose and ears every

day for 2 months For those of you who are only drinking it, I don't know. But it

may not be effective. On Dr. Simoncini site he has the soda go directly on the

tumor. The only reason I drank it was in case there was any Candida in my

esophagus or stomach. And Joanne, that vanilla flavoring is probably a fake,

synthetic vanilla imposter. I'm not sure you can get real vanilla any more.

Ted....... never, never , never, start out on high dose's of anything new you

take for the first time. I recommend 1/2 tsp. once a day to start with. If no

bad ills that day, then the next day take 1/2 tsp. twice a day. Do this for a

week. If things are ok, and you can handle it, go to 1 tsp a day. If your ok

with that, then try 1 tsp. twice a day. Go with the dose that works for you,

and is your comfort zone. For some it may take a long time to build up to 2

tsp. a day. This goes for any natural products you first take. BECAUSE....you

have NO idea how your body is going to react to any one product. This includes

Baking Soda!

Hmmm,

I was under the assumption that this is something you are only supposed to

do for a couple of days.

Its really tough on your body, and it could bend you over in half and cause

a great deal of pain..

I couldn't find anything anywhere that said you should do it more than that.

And that you should be following it with probiotics so that they live.

Bicarbonate of Soda kills Candida. Because of antibiotics, aspartame, birth

control pills, diet, trichloroethyle exposure and a host of others issues, I'm

doing everthing I can to rid myself of Candida while I wait for the call from my

doctor to let me know if I have Lymphoma. I also take probiotics, digestive

enzymes and Immune support multivatimins. I, by myself, decided to try this

after reading about Cancer is a Fungus by Dr. Tullio Simoncini. I have been

sick on and off for a long time. But, in 2004 I became deathly ill from using

aspartame. I thought I had recovered, but a year later I started having a host

of health problems. Mainstream medicine has been no help whatsoever. The only

thing they have done is to make my wallet less heavy to the tune of about 25

thousand $. I've been reading, researching and exploring all aspects of

alternative medicine. When I, not anybody else, find something that makes sense

to me I try it. I, personally believe that I have Candida

disease which causes malnutition. Therefore I'm going to do everything I can to

get rid of the fungus. And after reading about Baking soda killing Candida I put

my own strategy together because it makes sense to me. As for digestive issues,

I haven't been bloated since I started this. It also seems to clean me out on an

as needed basis. And I'm not planning to do this forever. I honestly feel like

it is helping me get rid of yeast.

Whats the difference between baking soda and sodium bicarbonate and how can I

get the good one?

I'm using the regular baking soda.

Does anyone knows where can I buy the other one?

Hello all,

I am new to this kind of communication, so I can't really follow how

the conversation flows. I recently ran across Dr. Crook's book The

Yeast Connection, and feel that this is exactly what is wrong with

me. Finally, I'm not crazy after all. I am encouraged by the

discussion about Baking Soda. How do I administer it? Do the pills

work as well as drinking it? Where can I get the pills? How long is

the treatment? And finally, is this a cure? I understand that I can

never go back to refined sugar, and can live with out breads. I

would love to eat fresh fruit without symptoms. I am thankful to

find you guys, I have felt so alone through all of this.

As far as I know, baking soda and sodium bicarbonate are the same thing.

I always buy Arm & Hammer brand. Their boxes have always said

" Ingredient: Sodium Bicarbonate " . Nothing else. Pure baking soda.

If you have bought " baking soda " that has other things in it, I'd ditch

that brand if I were you. They probably add stuff to make it flow better

when poured, not stick together when humid, etc. I wouldn't buy any

" baking soda " that wasn't pure sodium bicarbonate. I keep the box in a

zip-lock bag sealed tight with most of the air squeezed out when I'm not

using it.

Now, baking POWDER is a whole different animal ... most have cornstarch

and potassium alum or sodium alum in them. There's a brand called Rumford

that doesn't have the alum but it does have cornstarch.

Thanks to suggestions and posts on this board I started taking baking

soda this week. The first day I took 2 tsp in half a glass of water

chased it with another glass of water and then went about my day.

This was a mistake for me. Too much, too soon. I had a raging

headache all day and a pounding heart all night. Day two I did not

take any, but did a baking soda douche. Day 3 through 5 I did a half

a tsp in water then laid down for at least twenty minutes after taking

it, plus a douche every other day. Things I have noticed: Positives

first- My weight dropped almost 40 pounds in the first three months

of the diet. Then it froze, went back up, and then leveled off.

Since Monday I am dropping weight again at about 1/2 pound a day. I

still could stand to lose 5-15 pounds but could never really get it to

move after the initial weight loss. After about a month on the diet I

began having diarrhea and had been there ever since. After only two

days of baking soda I have to say that I am getting closer to what I

would consider regular bm's. Acne has also been a life issue for me.

When I first went on the diet it cleared for a while, but by the

summer it seemed like it was back to status quo. Since the baking

soda I have cleared up again. Not sure if it is permanent??

Negatives- Bad taste in my mouth most of the day. Very salty

tasting... Heart pounding wakes me up at night sometimes. Selenium

and Vit E seems to help it though. Stomach cramping after douche. I

have a lot of female issues so I am hoping that it is a healing kind

of pain. Headache- it is light, but if I stop too long I can tell

it's there.

I would have to say that the positives have so far out weighed the

negatives on baking soda for me. I will continue to use it while

continuing the diet, and supplements to beef up my immune system.

Thanks to all for sharing!

something that makes sense to me I try it. I, personally believe that

I have Candida disease which causes malnutition. Therefore I'm going

to do everything I can to get rid of the fungus.
