Ted's Famous Alkalizing Remedies

I have heard that Alkalizing your body can kill some if not all cancer's. I have been drinking what my husband and I jokingly call "BS Water", 1 teaspoon Baking soda in a cup of filtered water every morning. My Doctor swears that because my body is now more alkaline instead of acidic that it is helping with my problem of producing Kidney stones. I do not have nearly the amount of pain I did before starting this regime. Can you recomend any other ways to Alkalize a persons body quickly?? Thanx so much!! (BS Water tastes like toilet water smells and it also seems to cause a little bloat?? - Yuck!! ) lol & sigh ;)

I just read your excellent book "pH - Balanced for Life"

For years I have alkalized (and monitored urine pH) with sodium/potassium/magnesium bicarbonates. As was stated in the book, magnesium bicarbonate is difficult to make. It can only exist in very dilute water solutions containing 1.5g magnesium per liter. Last spring, I discovered, that one could take magnesium acetate, either orally or transdermally (rubbing on skin), and it will metabolize into large amounts of beneficial magnesium bicarbonate. Dr Russell Beckett originally discovered that magnesium bicarbonate in drinking water increased the lifespan in sheep and cattle back in the 1970s. Since then more benefits have been discovered by others. I originally started a magnesium bicarbonate research thread on the Life Extension forums. LEF closed (and erased) their entire forum system last Aug. This research has moved to a Google Group.

Lemon or lime juice is used to stop or delay periods / menstruation. 2 days ago I got started on Ted's famous lime and bicarbonate alkalizing formula, which I take twice a day. Additionally I have been drinking much water with a bit of lemon/lime juice through the day. I wonder if this will delay my period or if I should stop when time comes to get it. Any thoughts or experience on it?

I cannot balance my pH even with the lemon/lime and baking soda. It still remains 6.0. I have recently been diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency and do not receive help from my medical doctor on how to balance minerals.

My daughter bought me an alkaline water stick for Christmas. It's a stainless steel tube with holes that you put into a glass of water and it supposedly changes the pH to alkaline and adds some minerals in a few minutes. I tested it with litmus paper and found the water measured acidic, so I callled the manufacturer. She said water has to be tested with a phenol red liquid that is found in aquarium stores. Hmmm. So I bought the aquarium water tester and it does in fact say the water is very alkaline. Does anyone know if this is legit? Are there two standards for drinking water and aquarium water or is there a reason that litmus paper would register so differently from the phenol red? Anyone here with a scientific background who understands this? Thank you!

Has anyone ever heard of the Budwig Diet? It is for alkalizing the body and all you do is eat cottage cheese (full fat or Quark cheese not in the US) mixed with flax seed oil daily. I want to try this but am currently breastfeeding and wonder if it is detoxing at all. Does anyone know if alkalizing is like detoxing? Will the toxins come through the milk?

A lot of people are asking questions, but I don't see any getting answered. What is the remedy/daily routine for a consistent pH and overall general health?

Consistent level of body PH is maintained by adequate level of CO2 in a body, which regulated by breathing. According to Buteyko, we are over breathing. No supplements or diet will achieve what proper breathing will do. Role of CO2 in human body is misunderstood and ignored.

Listen on youtube about Buteyko breathing program. It is utilized in official medicine in the UK and Australia after Prince Charles was cured of allergy and an Australian person of angina while hospitalized in Russia. Buteyko cured himself of high BP and a cardiovascular disease.

Keep in mind one MUST work with a qualified practitioner who has his license renewed annually by Buteiko clinic in Moscow. Buteyko program is copyright protected. There are no legal approved material for sale.

Buteyko said, It is a simple program that hard to implement. Children as young as 3 yo learn it easily as well as people who at death bed. It requires 5 sessions 1.5hr each to learn to breath properly. There are Skype sessions conducted by Buteyko clinic USA, which is authorized by the Moscow clinic.

Hi Ted, am scared! I read so much about ur alkalizing formulas but could not lay my hands on organic apple cider vinegar. I then tried the lemon and baking soda mix. In my rush I used baking powder instead of baking soda. Pls have I done myself damage? My research shown that they may be similar but they r vastly different. Pls help.

Annabelle, one dose won't harm you. Remember to drink water.

Mmsg, Thank u so much for ur response. I actually took it twice before I realized.

Hi,

I am worried I took too much baking soda/lemon juice yesterday. The instructions are a bit confusing on the page I did as #4 states, but obviously completely misunderstood how to do it. I put 3 T of lemon juice in glass then added baking soda slowly and kept adding it and the foam never stopped til almost 1/4C had been added to the 3T of lemon juice. Then filled the glass half-way with water. It was VERY salty. I drank almost half of that mixture before I decided this just can't be right.

My stomach is VERY VERY bloated. No pain, just bloating. I am very thirsty also. I am not sure how to counteract this? Would charcoal capsules help here? Wobenzym N? I have many things on hand, just not sure what to do to try to undo what I've done.

I can't believe I was so stupid. I should've went with my gut and only used 1/2t or so.....hope I can reverse this. Thanks for any advice or help!

Dear Healthminded,

I would try charcoal. It is really helpful for bloating.

Peppermint is also healful to relieve gas. You could try peppermint tea or a couple of drops of peppermint essential oil in water.

I hope you find relief soon~

Hi Healthminded....Taking too high a dose of lemon lime and baking soda should not give you any horrible side-effects except, perhaps, for loosened stools or maybe diarrhea. Taking an overdose should not do any harm unless you have a malfunctioning kidney or if you lack potassium in your diet (to help balance the sodium).

The proper dose to take is as follows:

* Add 2 tablespoons of lemon or lime juice to a glass half filled with water.

* Sprinkle in Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) until the fizzing stops.

* Drink it down.

There are also two other alkalizing drinks that I also regularly take now. Both are a modification of the above and have been shown on this site before:

* Add one or two tablespoons of lemon/lime to a half glass of water.

* Add one tablespoon ACV.

* Add 1000 mgs(1/4 tspn) ascorbic acid.

* Add 2 grms MSM

* Add 6 drops of lugol's iodine.

* Sprinkle in baking soda until the fizzing stops and drink it down.

You can also substitute sodium thiosulfate (6 drops) instead of the lugols iodine if you want a stronger heavy metal or chlorine detox. And never mix sodium thiosulfate with lugols iodine -- because each will neutralize the other's beneficial effects.

The second one is similar but uses humic acid. I take this one if I suspect a viral problem in my body:

* Add one tablespoon ACV to a half glass of water.

* Add the juice of one lime or lemon(2 tblspns)

* Add 3 granules of humic acid -- until the water in the glass is a golden brown(not black!! ).

* Add 6 drops of Lugols Iodine.

* Sprinkle in baking soda until the fizzing stops and drink it down.

You can also add 1/4 tsp(1000 mgs) of ascorbic acid to this formula if you wish.

Can someone explain how to do the PH Urine test with either the meter or the strip? When is the best time to do it and how often?

Concerning lemon and bicabonate juice: Hi, just wanted to know aprox how much ml or oz of water you mean by half a glass.

Hey Andy, According to what I understand and found in google, 1 glass may be the same as 1 cup, which is around the 240 ml mark. Hope it helps.

I ran out of lemons and limes for my alkalizing drink. I did have lemon essential oil, so put some drops of that into my glass with baking soda, then added water. I drank maybe 4 oz an hour ago. Do you think it will do the same thing? If so, then I'd rather take the oil (more portable for me).

Hi,I am having a difficult time alkalizing. I would like to know if anyone has a solution to the acidity of RO water. I have been using baking soda and mineral drops and still cannot get my ph up at all. It is really low. My salivary first thing in am is 5.5. This is with the baking soda/lemon juice remedy 2x daily. I am very concerned. Any help is appreciated.

I am gona start Ted's LEMON/BICARB alkalizing remedy and also start taking Blackstrap Molasses, but I am confused as both are to be taken empty stomach. Can anybody please advice how do I take them both daily? Thank you.

Sick: I have always taken Blackstrap Molasses at any time during the day, and with meals or without and the effect is wonderful.

It seems that only the lemon/baking soda needs to be taken on it's own, first thing in the morning.

thank you M.

Hello, I was wondering if its safe to ingest the carbicarb mixture? I read that sodium carbonate is extremely corrosive and if in ingested it can burn your stomach.. I dont want to drink something that is dangerous. Im looking for a explanation on how its safe to drink? Hope you can help, your research and data is amazing and I really want to try this. Thanks. Look forward to hearing back from you.

A question on alkalizing drink: Does anyone know if Vitamin C powder plus Baking Soda in water, gives the same alkalizing effect as lemon/lime and BS or ACV and BS?
