Ted's Famous Alkalizing Remedies

I started the lemon and baking soda for ph balance. When I take it my heart races and I get anxiety. Anyway to stop this? Have been on alkalizing diet with no success. I take Mg and my level is good. Any Suggestions?

Thanks,

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!

I took about 3 times a day, organic honey and lemon, water and cinammon to help my cold, after a week, my underarms became very itchy and small pimples. I think it was too much lemon but not sure. I stopped for a while and it went away.

So... I've done the baking soda and lemon before... But it seems, and this has happened before, you have to wait some time before eating. I think I ate about 10 minutes after drinking my tspn with the juice of half a lemon. My bowl of lentil stew did NOT stay in me, no sir, very bad. Three trips already and now I'm waiting to make sure I'm settled so I can eat again bc I'm hungry now... Any tips on how long one should wait to eat after drinking lemon bicarb??

A couple of weeks ago (after checking my urinary ph, which was highly acidic), I started on Ted's Lemon and Bicarbonate formula. I found that it took only about a teaspoon of lemon juice and a pinch (estimating 1/8 teaspoon) of sodium bicarb to get my pH to an alkaline state, which is much less lemon juice than what Ted recommends. The first week taking the Lemon Formulas was fantastic, no problems. However, last week when I drank the formula I felt my blood pressure rise dramatically. I don't have a device at home to measure BP, so I don't know how much it went up, but I felt odd enough to stop drinking the formula. So others, be forewarned that the high sodium content of baking soda can affect your BP. Instead of baking soda, I am now finding that juicing veggies and adding dark greens like kale or spinach once or twice a day is even better at alkalizing urinary pH. Adding cabbage (purple or green, either one) is also great for alkalzing, but gives me intense stomach pain (gas, I guess).

I have tried Ted's lemon and baking soda mix (juice of 1 lemon and 1/2 tsp. baking soda in water) morning and night for two days. I started with diarrhea and then due to pain in the upper right quadrant, started to think it might be related to gallbladder.(I was diagnosed with a slow emptying gall bladder) I think I may have disrupted by acid/base balance by over eating oranges and grapefruits around Christmas and then eating quite a bit of fruit as well. I do get some relief from the pain, but diarrhea is still with me for two plus weeks. I will stay with this treatment for a few more days.
