Introduction
Sodium and potassium bicarbonate are excellent agents for
a natural alkaline approach in the treatment for all sickness and
disease, including cancer. Sodium bicarbonate is the universal
mainstream treatment of acidosis. It is used every day by
oncologists to neutralize the heavy acidic nature of their chemical
and chemotherapeutic agents which are often quite toxic. Sodium
bicarbonate is also used routinely in many clinical situations as
herein noted including many peer--reviewed journals:
a. Severe diabetic ketoacidosis [1]
b. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation [2]
c. Pregnancy [3]
d. Hemodialysis [4]
e. Peritoneal dialysis [5,6] Pharmacological toxicosis [6]
f. Hepatopathy [7]
g. Vascular surgery operations [8]
Medics and emergency room medical doctors are accustomed
person’s live after a cardiac arrest--inserting IVs and breathing
bicarbonate is a constant performer under such conditions and
is more commonly used than magnesium injections, which is
traditionally at the top of every doctor’s protocol for cardiac
arrest.
Mainstream oncologists recognize the routine involvement of
late stage infections which I refer to as outfections in all cancerous
conditions. Medical savants also recognize that bacteria, yeast and
mold is present in over forty percent of all cancerous conditions
[9]. The most recent research in this area demonstrates how even
percent of certain types of cancerous conditions [10].
Sodium and potassium bicarbonate increases the hydroxyl
ions or electron levels through increased alkalinity to the cells
buffering the metabolic acids that can cause cancer [20]. It is
also one of the most basic medicines in allopathic and alternative
medicine we have for the treatment of kidney disease. Research by
British scientists at the Royal London Hospital shows that sodium
bicarbonate can dramatically slow the progress of chronic kidney
understand something as simple and essential as alkaline water
and it is quite the same with sodium and potassium bicarbonate.
Sodium and potassium bicarbonate are always present in the
best alkaline drinking waters and organic raw green foods and
is constantly being produced by the cover cells of the stomach to
alkalize the acidic foods and liquids we ingest, including buffering
metabolic and respiratory acids in order to maintain the alkaline
design of the blood and tissues at a delicate pH of 7.365 [20].
What is Latent Tissue Acidosis?
Medical doctors are not taught in medical school and
therefore do not understand or recognize latent tissue acidosis.
They understand and recognize compensated acidosis and
decompensated acidosis. In compensated acidosis, breathing
increases in order to blow off more carbonic acid which decreases
PCO2 because of the lowered carbonate or HCO3. When the
breathing rate can no longer get any faster and when the kidneys
can no longer increase its’ function to keep up with the acid load,
then the blood pH starts to change from a pH of 7.365 to 7.3 then
to 7.2. At a blood pH of 6.95 the heart relaxes and the client goes
into a coma or dies.
Latent “acidosis” is a condition that exists when there are not
enough bases in the alkalophile glands because they have been
used up in the process of neutralizing the acids adsorbed to
means the blood pH has not changed but other body systems have
changed. This can then lead to decompensated “acidosis” where
the alkaline reserves of the blood are used up and the pH of the

blood is altered. Decompensated “acidosis” can be determined by
testing the blood pH, urine pH and the saliva pH. The decrease
in the alkaline reserves in the body can occur because of hyper-
proteinization, (eating meat and cheese!) or too much protein,
and hyper-carbonization, or too much sugar or from excessive or
over-excercise. This is why young athletes fall over dead or why
80 to 90 year old folks are all shrunk up and look like prunes. They
have very little or no alkaline reserves in their alkalophile glands.
When all the alkaline minerals are gone, so are you and your
battery runs out of charge. The charge of your cellular battery
can be measured by testing the ORP or the oxidative reduction
potential of the blood, urine or saliva using an ORP meter. As you
become more acidic this energy potential or ORP increases.
How is Sodium Bicarbonate created In the Body?
The parietal or cover cells of the stomach split the sodium
chloride of the blood. The sodium ion is used to bind with water
and carbon dioxide to form the alkaline salt, sodium bicarbonate
or NaHCO3. The biochemistry is: H20 + CO2 + NaCl = NaHCO3 + HCL.
This is why I call the stomach an alkalizing organ not an organ
of digestion. The stomach does not digest the food or liquids we
ingest but it alkalizes the foods and liquids we ingest. We have
one instrument in the human body to digest food and it is not the
stomach it is your teeth. Once we swallow our food or drink the
stomach begins to prepare the food by alkalizing it in a bath of
sodium bicarbonate.
For each molecule of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) made, a
molecule of hydrochloric acid (HCL) is made and secreted into the
pits in the stomach) - to be eliminated via the blood. Therefore
HCL is an acidic waste product of sodium bicarbonate created by
the stomach to alkalize the food and liquids ingested.
Exercise Creates Metabolic Acidic Waste Products
which are Harmful to the Blood and Tissues
When one exercises or over-exercises the body needs
additional alkaline bicarbonate salts to buffer lactic acids. The
additional bicarbonate is created in the stomach lining to buffer
the increased amounts of lactic acids produced as a waste product
of metabolism. The production of sodium bicarbonate will
always leave an acidic waste product of hydrochloric acid in the
gastric pits of the stomach leading to nausea, light headedness,
dizziness, muddle thinking, and poor circulation. If the excessive
and bicarbonate salts (electrolytes lost through perspiration or
urination) which may lead to latent tissue acidosis, pain, edema,
hyponatrenia and death.
But how does something like sodium and/or potassium
bicarbonate, so seemingly innocuous have such a dramatic effect?
During prolonged or intense exercise muscles produce large
amounts of acidic waste products, such as lactic acid, that leads to
soreness, stiffness, fatigue and possible edema if these acids are
not buffered and eliminated through urination or perspiration.
Because sodium and potassium bicarbonate naturally reduces
metabolic acids, it acts as a buffer against these performance-
limiting by-products.
Current research suggests that supplemental sodium
bicarbonate, like the pH Miracle pH our Salts (contains sodium
and potassium bicarbonate) is particularly helpful in speed-based
events, including sprints, football and other fast-moving games,
and middle-distance (up to 10km) running, swimming and
cycling. “Essentially, sodium bicarbonate is an alkaline substance
that increases the pH of the blood,” Dr Folland says. “This seems
to reduce and offset the acidity produced in the muscles during
intense, anaerobic exercise that produces lactic acid most quickly,
such as fast running or swimming.”
In Dr Folland’s study, swimmers who took the sodium
bicarbonate knocked 1.5 seconds off their time for 200m, a
but which is substantial at elite level.
“At the last Olympics, the top four swimmers in the men’s
200m freestyle were separated by just 1.4 seconds,” Dr Folland
says. “So, in theory, it could be the difference between winning a
medal and not.”
Anyone can try it, he says, but only those who are serious
enough to monitor their times and progress in sports such
as running, swimming or cycling may notice the few seconds
advantage it might provide. “The increments of improvement
someone who competes,” Dr Folland says.
Athletes for years have sworn that taking a spoonful of
bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) helps them to keep going
for longer. For years, experts doubted that there was anything
other than a placebo effect to these claims until they subjected
the substance to rigorous examination. Most exercise scientists
investigating the trend for “soda-doping” among athletes and
endurance and speed.”
At Loughborough University, for instance, physiologists
reporting in the June issue of the International Journal of Sports
Medicine showed that swimmers who took baking soda about
time off their usual performances. Dr Jonathan Folland, who
led the study, says that it is not uncommon for top swimmers
to take sodium bicarbonate (another name for the substance)
before a competition to give them an edge. Indeed, he showed
that of nine swimmers tested, eight recorded their fastest times
after ingesting a supplement of the common baking ingredient -
sodium bicarbonate.
Where are Bicarbonates Created in the Human Body
and Why?
The chloride ion from the sodium chloride (salt) binds to
an acid or proton forming HCL as a waste product of sodium
bicarbonate production. HCL has a pH of 1 and is highly toxic to
ulcers, diabetes, cancer, hyponatremia, edema, tonsilar herniation
and death. When large amounts of acids, including HCL, enter the
stomach from a rich animal protein or dairy product meal, such
as meat and cheese, or from starchy foods from root vegetables
like potatoes or during extreme exercise, acid is withdrawn from

the acid-base household. The organism would die if the resulting
the stomach was not taken up by the alkalophile glands (salivary
glands, pancreas, kidney, pylorus glands, Brunner’s glands,
Lieberkuhn glands and liver) that need these quick bases in order
to build up their strong sodium bicarbonate secretions. These
alkalizing glands and organs are the stomach, pancreas, Brunner’s
glands (between the pylorus and the junctions of the bile and
pancreatic ducts), Lieberkuhn’s glands in the liver and its bile
with its strong acid binding capabilities which it has to release
on the highly acidic meat, cheese, potato, acid water or metabolic

acids of nitric, sulphuric, phosphoric, uric and lactic acids in daily
metabolism, respiration and excessive or over-exercise.

truly strong universal concentrated nutritional medicine that
works effectively in many clinical situations that we would not
normally think of. Bicarbonates of sodium and potassium are a
prime emergency room and intensive care medicine that can save
a person’s life in a heartbeat and it is also a supermarket item that
you can take right off the shelf and use for more things than one
can imagine - including diaper rash.
Dr. SK Hariachar, a nephrologist who oversees the Renal
Hypertension Unit in Tampa, Florida stated, upon seeing the
research on sodium bicarbonate and kidney disease, “I am glad to
treating my patients with bicarbonate for many years in attempts
study to back us up. Not only that, we have the added information
that some people already on dialysis can reverse their condition
with the use of sodium bicarbonate”.
A dialysis technician at the same center as Dr. Hariachar, who
used to be on dialysis himself for 2 years as a result of kidney
failure, had his kidneys miraculously start functioning to the
point where dialysis was no longer needed. He states that he
was prescribed oral doses of sodium bicarbonate throughout
his treatment, and still takes it daily to prevent recurrences of
kidney failure. Dr. Hariachar maintains though, that not everyone
will be helped by taking bicarbonate. He says that those patients

difference.”
e Stomach, Pancreas and Kidneys Naturally Produce
Sodium Bicarbonate every Day
The exocrine section of sodium bicarbonate from the stomach
and the pancreas has been greatly ignored in the treatment
of diabetes and cancer even though its impairment is a well
documented condition. The stomach and the pancreas is primarily
responsible for the production of sodium bicarbonate necessary
for normal alkalization of food and liquids ingested. Sodium
bicarbonate is so important for protecting the kidney’s that even
the kidneys get into the act of producing sodium bicarbonate. We
now know the common denominator between hyponatremia,
lack of sodium and potassium bicarbonate or the body’s inability
to produce sodium and potassium bicarbonate because of a lack
of mineral salts in the diet. When the body is hit with reductions in
sodium bicarbonate output by these three organs, acid conditions
build up and then the entire body physiology begins to change
from a state of oxygenation to fermentation. Likewise when acid
build-up outstrips these organs normal sodium bicarbonate
capacity, cellular, tissue, glandular and organ deterioration begins.
The stomach, pancreas and the kidneys alone produce
potassium bicarbonate per day in an attempt to neutralize dietary
surround the body cells.
The stomach, pancreas and the kidneys monitor and control
the acidity or “acid-base” (pH) balance of the blood and tissues.
If the blood and tissues are too acidic, the stomach and/or the
kidney’s make sodium bicarbonate to restore the blood and tissue
pH back to a delicate pH balance of 7.365. If the blood or tissues
are too alkaline, then the kidney excretes sodium bicarbonate
into the urine to restore the 7.365 alkaline balance. Acid-base
sodium bicarbonate subsequent to hydrogen ion production from
the metabolism or dietary constituents; second, the synthesis of
“new” sodium bicarbonate by the stomach and/or the kidney’s
[13]. The stomach and kidneys pull salt, water and carbon dioxide
from the blood to make sodium bicarbonate to maintain the
alkaline design of the body during all functions of the body from
the ingestion of food or drink to exercise. The chemical formula is
as follows: NaCl + H2O + CO2 = NaHCO3 + HCL. The waste product
of sodium bicarbonate is hydrochloric acid which is eliminated by
kidneys as an acidic excretion of the urine.
It is considered that normal adults eating ordinary Western
diets have chronic, low-grade acidosis which increases with age.
This excess acid, or acidosis, is considered to contribute to many
diseases and to contribute to the aging or rotting process. Acidosis
occurs often when the body cannot produce enough sodium
bicarbonate ions (or other alkaline compounds) to neutralize
the acids in the body formed from metabolism and eating and
drinking highly acid foods and drinks like chicken, pork, beef,
dairy products, coffee, tea, alcohol, chocolate, soft drinks, just to
that these waters are acidic and may contribute to overall tissue
acidosis.
Acid-buffering by means of base supplementation (The pH
Miracle pH our Salts) of sodium bicarbonate is one of the major
roles of dialysis. Sodium bicarbonate concentration in the
dialysate (solution containing water and chemicals (electrolytes)
personalized in order to reach a midweek pre-dialysis serum
sodium bicarbonate concentration of 22 mmol/l [14]. Use of
sodium bicarbonate in dialysate has been shown in studies to

better control some metabolic aspects and to improve both
treatment tolerance and patients’ life quality. Sodium bicarbonate
One of the main reasons we become over-acid is from over-
consumption of animal protein, dairy products, high sugar fruit,
grains, alcohol, coffee, tea, chocolate, soft drinks and over-exercise
or under-exercise. Eating meat and dairy products may increase
the same for breast and other cancers as well metastatic cancers
when you combine high protein intake with decreasing intake
of alkaline minerals you have a dis-ease in the making through
lowering of pH into highly acidic conditions. When protein breaks
down in our bodies they break into strong acids, such as, nitric,
uric, sulphuric and phosphoric acid.
Unless a treatment actually removes acidic toxins from the
body and increases oxygen, water, and nutrients most medical
interventions come to naught.
These metabolic and dietary acids must be excreted by the
kidney’s because they contain sulphur, phosphorus, and/or
nitrogen which cannot break down into water and carbon dioxide
to be eliminated as weak acids. In their passage through the
kidney’s these strong acids of nitric, sulphuric, phosphoric and
uric acid must take a basic mineral with them because in this
way they are converted into their neutral salts and don’t burn or
destroy the kidney’s on their way out. This would happen if these
strong acids were excreted in their free acidic form.
Substituting a sodium bicarbonate solution for saline infusion
prior to administration of radiocontrast material seems to reduce
the incidence of nephropathy Thomas PK [18].
Sodium and potassium bicarbonate ions neutralize the acids
potassium bicarbonate are well-studied and used salts with
known effects. Sodium and potassium bicarbonate are effective
in treating poisonings or overdoses from many chemicals
and pharmaceutical drugs by negating their cardio toxic and
neurotoxin effects [19]. It is the main reason it is used by orthodox
oncology - to mitigate the highly toxic effects of chemotherapy.
Sodium and potassium bicarbonates possess the property of
absorbing heavy metals, dioxins and furans. Comparison of cancer
tissue with healthy tissue from the same person shows that the
cancer tissue has a much higher concentration of toxic chemicals,
pesticides, etc.
Sodium and potassium bicarbonate intravenous infusions are
indicated in the treatment of metabolic acidosis, which may occur
in severe renal disease, uncontrolled diabetes, and circulatory
circulation of blood, cardiac arrest, tonsillar herniation due to
cerebral edema, severe primary lactic acidosis and hyponatremia

body called SCHADE, the colloidal connective tissue organ. No
liquid exchange occurs between the blood and the parenchyma
cells, or in reverse, unless it passes through this connective tissue
organ. This organ connects and holds everything in our bodies in
place. This organ is composed of ligaments, tendons, sinew, and

exercise and the ingestion of milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, ice
cream, high sugar fruit and starchy root vegetables like potatoes.
That is why I have stated, “acid is pain and pain is acid or acid is

The acid/alkaline balance is one of the most overlooked
aspects of diagnostic medicine. In general, the world population
is heavily acidic, excepting alkalarian vegans (those who ingest
raw, organic green fruit, vegetables, mineral salts, alkaline water
and unsaturated seed and nut oils), and even their bodies have to
face increasing levels of environmental toxic exposure, which may
contribute to an acidic pH condition of the blood and then tissues.
With over 30 years of research and testing over 100,000
individual samples of blood and over 100,000 samples of urine
and saliva, I have come to the conclusion that the human body is
an acidic producing organism by function - yet, it is an alkaline
organism by design. Eating animal protein, especially meat and
cheese, sugar, fermented foods, starchy foods like potatoes, acidic
water, alcohol, coffee, tea, chocolate, and excessive exercise or
under-exercise, obsessive behaviors, lack of rest, lack of sunshine,
and emotional stress are deadly acidic lifestyle choices.
All enervation, under-performance, sensitivity, irritation,
degeneration, aging and cancerous conditions are caused by a

A: Acidic food and drink, attitudes and activities,
C: Compromised internal acidic environment,
I: Illness and dis-ease, and,
D: Desire for more acidic foods, drinks, attitudes and activities,
and the cycle repeats itself [20].
We ingest acidic medicines to lessen the symptoms of our
illness. We stimulate the body with unhealthy forms of energy
providing quick, often temporary relief from our symptoms which

begins the cycle all over again creating a very powerful pattern of
poor health and dis-ease.
Conclusion
The pH Alkalizing Lifestyle and Diet is a low acid producing
diet and lifestyle that focuses on the foundational principal that
the body is alkaline by design and yet acidic by function. This
makes this program the ultimate program for preventing and
reversing aging and the onset of sickness and disease. I would say
that the pH Alkalizing Lifestyle and Diet is the perfect diet and
lifestyle for a longer healthier life [20].
