Today weā€™re going to talk about the dangers and benefits of baking soda.

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Your body actually makes sodium bicarbonate.

Different parts of the body have different pH levels. Even different parts of your digestive tract require different pH levels.

Sodium bicarbonate helps decrease the acid in your small intestine, which increases the pH and supports important digestive enzymes. If I needed to take enzymes, I would also take baking soda to help activate the enzymes.

Baking soda may also be helpful in certain cases for people with acid reflux or heartburn. However, it shouldnā€™t be taken often or over a long period of time.

Chronic consumption of baking soda can lead to certain side effects, including:
ā€¢ Bloating
ā€¢ Gas
ā€¢ Acid rebound

A better remedy for acid reflux or heartburn might be betaine hydrochloride or apple cider vinegar. This is because the typical root cause of these issues is actually a lack of stomach acid.

But, if someone has an ulcer or gastritis, betaine hydrochloride or apple cider vinegar will cause irritation. In these situations, baking soda might provide some relief.

Some interesting research is even being done on sodium bicarbonate for cancer.

Baking soda may also be beneficial for:
ā€¢ Skin allergies
ā€¢ Sinus problems
ā€¢ Gout attacks
ā€¢ Improving athletic performance

Overall, baking soda is a great potential remedy for certain problems. However, itā€™s also important to ask yourself why you need to take a natural remedy in the first place and work to fix the root cause of the issue.

    Important to know. There is one more thing to add to your list. Sodium bicarbonate is the best treatment I have ever used for my breathing issues. Baking soda saved my life when I got pneumonia from Covid 19. I was coughing so bad, and my sinuses were completely clogged. I was so scared of going to the hospital because of the pandemic. So I thought I would go to the pharmacy and get some nasal spray. But then I remembered that the more you use nasal spray the faster you get clogged back up. So I thought about making my own nasal spray and I checked for a list of ingredients to make it, but I didnā€™t have any distilled water. So I thought about what I could do. Then I remembered that my dad was using a dry powder inhaler for his COPD. So at that moment my thought switched from salt to sodium bicarbonate because the fine granules would be easy to breathe in. So I went to my cabinet and grabbed my arm and hammer baking soda, and I put some in the palm of my hand. Then I started with a small pinch of baking soda between my index finger and thumb. Then I sniffed that small pinch one for each nostril and one for my throat, after I did just one treatment I did not have to treat myself again for 5 days. With in one minute of the treatment I was able to blow my nose for the first time in over a week, and I was able to cough up most of the mucus that was stuck in my throat. After doing some research, I found out that sodium bicarbonate removed mucus from the lungs better than saline solution. Also I found out it is important to not accidentally sniff too much at onceā€¦. Use small pinches and do two treatments in a row for best resultsā€¦ Results can last weeks and even monthsā€¦ Not Just 12 hours or less. I hope this information helps to save livesā€¦. God Bless America.
  • A lady from church was diagnosed with colon cancer she started taking 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a 1 cup of warm water on an empty stomach for 3 weeks she also took charcoal tablets and drank lemon water after 3 weeks her cancer was gone and her doctor kicked her out of his office and didnt want to know how she cured her cancer šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰
  • So many great uses for Baking Soda. My personal favorites are mixing a bit of baking soda and coconut oil for exfoliating my face for a radiant smooth glow and I have been brushing my teeth with Baking Soda and Hydrogen Peroxide for about 30 years. I am 68 and blessed with great health. Dr Berg definitely assists my wellness journey with his knowledge. Happy Sunday everyone šŸŒ¹

    My grandpa took a teaspoon of baking soda in water every night after dinner, lived well until 89(dying of broken heart of my mom and gram) worked into his 80s, resided in his own home, caring for it as he always did (shoveling, Buffalo winters) all of it.
  • Baking soda has been used in TCM for centuries for kidney health. My cat was diagnosed with kidney renal failure in early 2019 and mixing it in her water has basically stopped further deterioration looking at all the six monthly blood tests. She's 15 and looking likely to see her 18th.
  • Every rose has its thorns. That said, I will continue to use baking soda to maintain excellent health especially now that I am 70 years old! I will never visit any doctor . . . well possibly Dr Berg :) It feels weird being the same age as old people!
  • Hi, I just watched your video about Baking Soda and noticed you showed the Arm and Hammer brand. When I had cancer some time back I read up on the benefits of Baking Soda and learned that Arm and Hammer has aluminum in it so I used Bob's Red Mill all natural and organic baking soda. Thought you should know about this. All the Best, Konnie
  • It never ceases to amaze me at how complex the human body is. Extremely well engineered

    The true benefit of baking soda is not its ability to alkalize but rather its profound candida crushing properties. It's abilities in this regard are actually documented as being a phenomenon. I was dealing with candida overgrowth in my gut, mouth, and sinuses and was able to restore the health of these microbiomes with not only essential oils such as tea tree and peppermint but also a strong baking soda and water mixture. My dental hygienist and dentist were astounded at the health of my gums in just one month time.
  • I was mortally I'll some stomach big problem. My dr said don't take bicarbonate, will not help you at all. I was taking a box of bicarbonate a month. I am healthy, no stomach illnesses whatsoever. āœŒļøBent one more finger, to my dr.šŸ˜…

    Many years ago, there was a story here on YT about an old guy who had memory problems and borderline Alzheimer's. He would always forget where he left his keys, where he parked his car in a parking lot, why he walked into a room to get something and then couldn't remember why he went in there in the 1st place, etc. He talked about making a drink with a half teaspoon of baking soda, 1 cup hot water to dissolve it and a little lemon and honey. He said after a few weeks, he started remembering those things I mentioned above. I don't remember how many times he drank it in a day or if he drank it on an empty stomach or not, I don't know. Something to think about for sure. YT pulled that video quickly after more and more people were watching it. Makes you wonder. (Not medical advice).

    My wife (an old army medic in the 80s) told me she treated poison ivy for the soldiers with a baking soda paste wrapped in gauze until it dried up. The base hospital radioed her asking where the guys were for their treatment baths (which did not work) and she told the docs what she did and they were blown away. All the rashes gone usually overnight.
  • I remember a few years back Dr. Berg would never recommend baking soda. I commented back then that I had gotten a super bad urinary infection well being in Cancun. I had read an article on it years before because I kept suffering from utiā€™s and the burning was horrific. So I started incorporating baking soda when this would happen and the burning went away! Of course I had to change my diet! I am so glad he did some research on it and is sharing it with everybody! Best video ever!!!šŸ’•ā¤ļøšŸŒøšŸŒŗ

    I've been using baking soda and a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to clean my teeth for the last 35 years, and have only had 2 cavities during that period. Thanks for this information, Dr. Berg!
  • When you get gastritis, your gastrologist might tell you to not eat yogurt, but read this very carefully, I had very very acute gastritis after taking antibiotics due to COVID, yogurt relieved all the pain in my guts and literally helped me to cure gastritis completely. Eat as much (natural) yogurt as you can if you have gastritis. My gastrologist told me to not eat yogurt, but I just ignored what she said and ate as much as I could.
  • Woke up with a mild uti. Took 1/2 tsp of baking soda on an empty stomach, starting to cough immediately and my chest expelled some phlegm I wasnā€™t aware of. Felt like mini detox. Fell asleep woke up and the psoriasis on my face had also significantly calmed.
  • Thank you Dr.Berg, your information that you UNSELFISHLY share helps SO MANY people. I for one am VERY grateful. ā¤šŸ™‚
  • Good morning Dr Berg and your team. . Very useful information .Since i have watched your videos i have found alot of things so important to improve my health ā¤šŸ™šŸ‘Œ
  • Plus an other home remedy expert also mentioned, a cup of water with 1/3 ol a spoon (I like to squeeze 1/2 a lemon too). And take is, this will help reduce the inflammation in the body.
  • Hi, If I have a urinary tract infection/ burning when passing urine instead of buying over the counter Mx such as Ural I dissolve a small amount of baking Soda in water and drink itā€¦works every time. It also helps with feminine freshness by regulating the Ph levels.
