THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
tion. Taking more calcium at one time is not advised be-
cause it cannot be dissolved and absorbed anyway and
might constipate you. For the elderly only one calcium
tablet is advised. Take calcium tablets with vitamin C or
lemon water to help dissolve (¼ tsp. vitamin C powder;
adding honey is fine).- One cup of sterilized milk or buttermilk, drunk hot or cold,
plus 1 magnesium oxide tablet, 300 mg. (adding cinnamon
is fine).
If these two remedies work for you, your morning urinary
pH will come up to 6.0 but if for some reason they don't,
you need to take more drastic measures. Take the supple-
ments and milk earlier in the day and reserve bedtime for: - ½ tsp. baking soda in water. This is sodium bicarbonate.
But don't use baking soda from a store because most brands
I have tested are polluted with benzene! (See Sources for
safe baking soda.) Using a combination of sodium and
potassium bicarbonate in a ratio of 2:1 is actually a much
more healthful potion. You can make your own or ask a
pharmacist to make it for you. Mix two parts baking soda
and one part potassium bicarbonate (see Sources) in a jar.
Keep tightly closed. Label it sodium potassium
bicarbonate alkalizer (this potion is also very useful in
allergic reactions of all kinds). Take 1 level tsp. in water
at bedtime. If your pH reaches 6 in the morning continue
each night at this dose. If it does not, take 1½ tsp. Keep
watching your pH, since it will gradually normalize and
you will require less and less. If you are using plain baking
soda, instead of the mixture, watch your pH each morning,
also, so you can cut back when the pH goes higher than 6.
Persons with a limit on their daily sodium intake must care-
fully count the grams of baking soda consumed in this way.
