Dear Teri: You did the right thing, only you did it too long. The body needs a rest period. For some people they do report ups and downs using baking soda or even baking soda plus citric acid. The body needs time to adjust itself.
Therefore, try this:
Take the citric acid + baking soda for only two days and stop for two days and do it again for two days.
The other issue is you need to measure your urinary pH and stop guessing at your condition. Check an prove to yourself that your urine is either too alkaline or too acid. Just measure the urinary pH. It should be about 6.5 - 7.3. If your urinary pH is below 6, then continue to do so.
To get your blood moving try another formula which should work better as it has higher antioxidant level. Get one whole lime (lime has better antioxidants then lemon) and keep adding the baking soda until the fizz stops. Measure your urinary pH after 1 hour of consumption. If you are acid, the pH should rise after 1 hour. If it is still not normal keep taking it more.
Since the body has so much ups and downs, then just take it for only two day and stop for two days. The body needs some time to readjust itself. If two days is too much for you then try to take it one day and two days of not taking it.
Whatever you do, you need to prove yourself of both urinary pH and salivary pH, where the former is pH 6.5 - 7.3 and the latter is about pH 6.8 to 7.5. If they are both acid, you will know what to do. If they are alkaline then just take apple cider vinegar alone.
The fact the blood rarely moves means the blood platelets are glued to each other. This can be lessened by drinking plenty of water and take some magnesium supplements and especially vitamin E 400 IU. The vitamin E is anti platelet sticking and should help with blood flow. A simple aspirin is also helpful too.
