05/27/2008: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "For the past month, I was following a couple of case of asthenia which is a form of sleep disorder where a person have great difficulty sleeping as well as extreme weakness. I traced the condition to a form of metabolic acidosis which occurs in the brain which causes the lack of sleep. The basis of the problem is that between 20-30 of the calories consumed are used by the brain, and about 80% of the oxygen we breathe goes directly to the brain. As a result the carbon dioxide from such metabolism in the brain creates carbonic acids, which leads to many conditions I have found in the past from hyperactive disorder, holding grudges (from angular cingulate area of the brain), violence (from metabolic acidosis in the left temporal regions of the brain of men), depression (from pre frontal cortex of the brain in female having metbolic acidosis).
The metabolic acidosis effects a wide variety of condition on the human emotions and personality disorders, but this is beyond the posting here. However, there are a couple of cases I noticed a complete cure, if sodium carbonate and baking soda remedies were taken.
However the background information is in order. The idea came from studies in CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) where the injection of baking soda (or sodium carbonate) helps in revival but quite often certain brain damages does occur in event of a stroke for example, where heart stoppages leads to certain brain death. To reduce the problem of brain death, baking soda is employed by ER to help revive. One of the aspect of the doctors is to improve recovery with minimal brain death. Baking soda or sodium bicarbonate were employed to alkalize the body and reduce the carbonic acid ( which is carbon dioxide) in the body so that the brain gets alkalized. In some cases the injection of sodium bicarbonate lead to slight acidity in the brain cells, so what the scientist does is to use sodium carbonate mixture with sodium bicarbonate at a 1: 1 molar solution, which is really equal atomic weight mixture instead of by weight mixture, injected into the patients and animals to improve recovery and minimize brain damage.
The idea of using sodium carbonate as an added mixture is that the sodium carbonate once injected will react with the carbonic acids and carbon dioxide in the body to become sodium bicarbonate. Further the sodium bicarbonate will neutralize some more carbon dioxide, but once it reaches its limits, the sodium bicarbonate will eventually break down in the water and carbon dioxide again. Therefore, sodium carbonate is employed as a more effective ways of absorbing more carbon dioxide in extreme cases where there is high carbon dioxide pressure, which often exists in the brain. In the studies such as these it was found that sodium bicarbonate does create some mildly acid brain cells due to the chemical limitations of sodium bicarbonate in absorbing the acidity of the carbon dioxide. What they did miss out was that some small amount of potassium bicarbonate would even out the acidosis effect. But in most healthy individuals, the acid the results of baking soda doesn't happen. It seems to occur in these extreme cases. However, if the mixture such as what the scientists called "carbicarb" mixture, a sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate mixture was used the scientist found out that the brain cells did become more alkaline as they are hoping for reducing the problem of brain cells getting killed by metabolic acidosis.
Apparently the studies in improving the recovery of dogs by artificially inducing a heart attack was found to be "statistically insignificant" although the carbicarb mixture did come out ahead, and in some cases was better then the baking soda. However in many other cases not involving causing heart attacks artificially but through measurement of biochemical parameter, the carbicarb came out superior in all respects. The issue that the scientist did miss out on is that a sodium sulfide only in parts per million if added to the carbicarb mixture would improve the recovery and survival of dogs artificially inducing a heart attacks since trace parts per million Hydrogen sulfide is one of the key chemical messengers used by the brain necessary for the cells to reduce it's metabolism thus demanding less oxygen and could provide the clues toward limited suspended animation, without the brain damage associated with oxygen deprivation. So researchers have limited understanding on that matter. However, the carbicarb mixture was an important finding towards alkalizing the brain, thus reducing the problems of metabolic acidosis associated with many brain biochemical disorders such as sleeplessness, astenia, anxiety, violences and as well as brain cell recovery.
The brain cell regeneration and recovery is an interesting point because in some cases of astenia, what you have is a metabolic acidosis of certain regions of brain cells leading to certain behavioral disorders such as violence in the left temporal region, hyperactive disorder which occurs in the prefrontal lobes, nitpicky or holding grudges from the cingular disorder region. In such a condition the brain cells is hyperactive induced by metabolic acidosis due to excessive buildup of carbon dioxide. This happens most dramatically in astenia where a person can't sleep and very weak.
Therefore what I found is 1/4 teaspoon of sodium carbonate plus 1/4 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in 1/2 glass of water taken about three times a day, once in the morning, noon, and two hours before sleep works consistently in all cases i have witnessed, and these are extreme cases where these people simply have trouble sleeping for years.
As to the weakness or lack of energy the important supplements are magnesium gluconate 250-500 mg, vitamin E 200-400 IU, and vitamin B complex usually the B50 or B100 kind. However, vtiamin E, B complex and magnesium need not be taken everyday. Usually once every three days is usually sufficient.
In case of some people who are forgetful, have a very mild case of alzheimer, usually recent research points to excessive free metal zinc and some aluminum, usually from excessive fluoride and chlorine in drinking water which causes the brain to have higher heavy metals as presence of fluoride for example increases the body's absorption of aluminum by 600%. I also wondered that other heavy metals may be increased from such such fluoridation effects too. Therefore the brain needs to reduce buildup of heavy metals such what I used is 500 mg of L-Carnsine usually once or twice a day maybe helpful.
Therefore the effects of astenia and sleep disorder or sleepleness can be best helped with the carbicarb mixture by causing the brain cells to be more alkaline as the sodium carbonate portion absorbs most of the Carbon dioxide pressure. It is this issue that the carbicarb is used. I am now further looking into this mixture to see the potentials in other behavioral disorders related to metabolic acidosis of the brain. However, this remedy IS NOT going to work at all if some people take formaldehyde and methanol forming aspartame and sugar free products. It kills the brain cells. Therefore it is far more effective if aspartame and even tomatoes (has methanol attached to pectin) is avoided in more sensitive people. It should be noted that aspartame is so dangerous, it is possible to murder someone if that person is unlucky to happen to take diet products containing aspartame and taking a creatine supplements at the same time. Or perhaps aspartame along with a very salty products such as potato chips. In fact there is a case of a woman wrongfully accused of murder and in jail for 50 years because her husband, being a bodybuilder was taking a lot of creatine and diet Gatorade which had aspartame. The doctors found the dying person to be high of methanol, unfortunately, these are metabolized further in the body to formaldehyde and the doctors used ethyl alcohol which while it reduces the toxicity of the methanol, it also kills off the brain cells from the alcohol itself. My own findings is the methanol toxicity can be reduced by a topical application of vinegar or perhaps a supplement of large amounts of baking soda and vinegar, where the resultant reaction is sodium acetate which seems to reduce the inflammation of the methanol which burns the cellular tissues. This can easily be proven if methanol alcohol was accidentally spilled on to the hands or arms where my own remedy were to get a bottle of vinegar to reduce the burning of the neural cells. It effects the same way on the brain, which is why aspartame can cause multiple sclerosis, blindness and in my case macular degeneration and deafness. Of course i found quickly and the condition went away, with further supplements of vitamin B complex.
