What if there were a natural health-promoting substance that was inexpensive, available at any grocery store in the country, and probably sitting in your cupboard right now? There is. It is called sodium bicarbonate, although you may know it as baking soda. For years, sodium bicarbonate has been used on a daily basis as part of a number of hospital treatments, but most people remain unaware of its full therapeutic potential. In his new book, Dr. Mark Sircus shows how this common compound may be used in the alleviation, or possibly even prevention, of many forms of illness. Sodium Bicarbonate begins with a basic overview of the everyday item known as baking soda, chronicling its long history of use as an effective home remedy. It then explains the role sodium bicarbonate plays in achieving optimal pH balance, which is revealed as an important factor in maintaining good health. The book goes on to detail how sodium bicarbonate and its effect on pH may benefit sufferers of a number of conditions, including kidney disease, fungal infection, influenza, hypertension, and even cancer. Finally, it lists the various ways in which sodium bicarbonate may be taken, suggesting the easiest and most effective method for your situation. By providing a modern approach to this time-honored remedy, Sodium Bicarbonate illustrates the need to see baking soda in a whole new light. While it was once considered simply an ingredient in baked goods and toothpaste, sodium bicarbonate contains powerful properties that may help you balance your system, regain your wellbeing, and avoid future health problems.

Cancer rates are rising world-wide, with a 2012 World Health Organization report stating that there were 14 million new cases every year with 8.2 Million cancer related deaths. These astronomical numbers make cancer a leading cause of death in the world, and with 1 in 4 deaths in the United States attributed to Cancer, it is the second leading cause of death in America alone. While the causes of Cancer vary from tobacco use to excess weight, one theory suggests the alkaline and acidity levels in the body also play a strong factor. High acidity is linked to poorer health conditions while a more neutral, alkaline level is associated with more favorable, even robust, health. Science is taking a hard look at ways to neutralize the rising acidity of people worldwide, with some studies looking to Sodium Bicarbonate, or baking soda, as a tool that can be used to increase the preferred alkaline state of the body. This guide explores the many uses and potential benefits of adding Sodium Bicarbonate to your daily diet; from how much to use, when to use it, how to ingest it, benefits and potential side effects, all questions are answered and explained in detail. Cancer may be taking more lives daily, but we may have a weapon against it... in our own kitchen cabinets.
