Just got a REALLY interesting email from Dr Mercola today talking about the connection between Baking Soda and how it should be involved in cancer treatments as well as how it’s old news that baking soda is suggested in preventing the flu. REALLY? YUP!
Here is a snippit to the main article:
“In 1918 and 1919 while fighting the ‘Flu’ with the U. S. Public Health Service it was brought to my attention that rarely any one who had been thoroughly alkalinized with bicarbonate of soda contracted the disease, and those who did contract it, if alkalinized early, would invariably have mild attacks.”
Recommended dosages from the Arm and Hammer Company for colds and influenza back in 1925 were:
During the first day take six doses of half teaspoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at about two hour intervals
During the second day take four doses of half teaspoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at the same intervals
During the third day take two doses of half teaspoonful of Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water morning and evening, and thereafter half teaspoonful in glass of cool water each morning until cold is cured
You can get the full article on the mercola site here.
Wow, I’d never heard of that, but it’s certainly worth trying!
