Arm & Hammer Soda Company - Using Bicarbonate Against the Swine Flu

     Over 150 years ago Dr. Austin Church formed a business to produce and distribute Baking Soda. ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda is derived from a natural occurring mineral called trona. It is 100% pure, safe, and natural. Baking Soda (also known as sodium bicarbonate) is a substance that is found naturally in all living things. Its purpose is to maintain pH balance in the bloodstream, which is necessary to sustain life. Due to its chemical and physical properties, sodium bicarbonate has unique medicinal capabilities that every healthcare practitioner, doctor and patient needs to know about.

The only problem is that Arm & Hammer Baking Soda
 can replace many more expensive medicines and this
 does not make the medical industrial complex happy.

     In today’s modern world of medicine the FDA just will not let companies that sell products make medical claims about them unless they have been tested at great expense and approved as a drug. But this was not always the case and as we can see in the information in this chapter, which is from a 1924 booklet,[1] published by the Arm & Hammer Soda Company. On page 12 the company starts off saying, “The proven value of Arm & Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda as a therapeutic agent is further evinced by the following evidence of a prominent physician named Dr. Volney S. Cheney,   in a letter to the Church & Dwight Company:

“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. I have since that time treated all cases of ‘Cold,’ Influenza and LaGripe by first giving generous doses of Bicarbonate of Soda, and in many, many instances within 36 hours the symptoms would have entirely abated. Further, within my own household, before Woman’s Clubs and Parent-Teachers’ Associations, I have advocated the use of Bicarbonate of Soda as a preventive for “Colds,” with the result that now many reports are coming in stating that those who took “Soda” were not affected, while nearly every one around them had the “Flu.”

     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 Arm & Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at about two hour intervals.

During the second day take four doses of half teaspoonful of Arm and Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at the same intervals.

During the third day take two doses of half teaspoonful of Arm and Hammer 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.

“Well the sodium bicarbonate cure for colds and sore throats.
A friend called as I was reading about it, I told her to try it.
She is rapt! Relief in a few hours, and she went to work the
 following day! And she was miserable and could hardly talk,[2]
 had just woken with it full on, and was planning on missing work.”

Special Note: Below is a very important testimony and you will see several others attached to this article at the above link.

Dear Dr. Sircus,

I have had Morgellons for over 6 years – very nasty – and I know you are aware of our plight. I am now ready to start your transdermal magnesium therapy treatments but first I have to tell you something.

I would like you to know that bicarbonate baths really help me. But, and this is a big BUT, I use it with about 3 Lb’s of sea salt per bath and when I did 5 Lb’s of bicarbonate – I put myself into an alkaline state. The high salt content somehow opened up my skin to take in the bicarbonate – it came out of my skin for a few weeks!

Thank you,
Carola Dunham

     I have been recommending one pound of Arm and Hammer in a bath with 2 or 3 pounds of magnesium bath flakes, which stands in good instead of the salt Carola used. If one wanted to go for the best salt for this application I would choose Dead Sea Salt for it is reasonably high in magnesium and also in potassium salts.

     I doubt if Dr. Tullio Simoncini or anyone else, me included, really realizes what can be done with sodium bicarbonate through transdermal application. It is clear that bicarbonate lives up to its reputation; bringing heavy duty healing horsepower to clinicians’ hands. Emergency rooms and intensive care wards would not be caught dead without it no matter how much bad press it continues to get.

     Anyone can go home and take a bath or drink bicarbonate and can do it with safety if done with some knowledge and as long as one monitors oneself with pH strips religiously. Some people shift their pH dramatically with the bicarbonate and some peoples’ systems move with difficulty into the alkaline state.

     For me the perfect therapeutic bath contains magnesium flakes, sodium bicarbonate and sodium thiosulfate. One can use the same combination in minute quantities to turn RO or distilled water into fine mineralized water. Just add to taste.

     Please look at the other testimonials and I encourage you, request that you put up your testimonial (or send directly to my email) if you have one or your experiences when you try bicarbonate magnesium baths. Though nothing has ever shaken my conviction that magnesium chloride is the number one medicinal in any protocol sodium bicarbonate, the more I learn, hear and write about it, motivates me to kicking it up to the number two slot pushing iodine out to number three. If one is at all concerned with the swine flu its time to start learning about bicarbonate and how it heavy hand can protect you and your loved ones. Forget all the controversy about it being an effective cancer treatment and just start learning about its medicinal properties applicable along a broad front of medical disorders. And then of course do the same with iodine and magnesium chloride for you will need all three to combat the swine flu if you get it.
