1. For 2 weeks take 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda plus juice of a lemon (which seem to be double the size of a small lime) in cup water, once in the morning on an empty stomach & once before bed.
2. Then add 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar to the above remedy and take as per the above. Do this for 1 week on and then 1 week off.
3. Take a B complex vitamin pill, once a day for a month. Is the above treatment correct and is there anything else required Do I need to take the apple cider vinegar remedy through a straw to avoid passing over the tongue or will the baking soda neutralize any damaging effect to the tongue I assume the apple cider vinegar remedy is a health tonic that can be consumed indefinitely, or is there a specific period I should take it for Do I need to a mouth wash as well How should this be prepared & how long should I take. Thank you so much for your time and advice. Lisa, from New Zealand

Dear Lisa, I would use baking soda as a mouthwash and take baking soda 1/4 teaspoon three times a day with 1/2 glass of water on an empty stomach. This will raise the bicarbonates. Your swollen tongue appears to be that your mouth is a bit too acid since normally a saliva should exceed pH 7.0 It takes about 2 weeks to get your body to normalize the bicarbonate level it needs. To further normalize your electrolytes lemon with baking soda until there is no more fizz. It is necessary that bread, white flour, pastries are common acid forming food. Soy milk may help as it is more alkaline forming than ordinary milk.
