I received this from Mark Sircus Ac. OMB and pass it on to you.
\nOver 150 years ago Dr. Austin Church formed a business to produce and distribute Baking Soda. ARM & HAMMER\u00ae Baking Soda is derived from a natural occurring mineral called trona. It is 100% pure, safe, and natural. Baking Soda (also known as sodium bicarbonate) is a substance that is found naturally in all living things. Its purpose is to maintain pH balance in the bloodstream, which is necessary to sustain life. Due to its chemical and physical properties, sodium bicarbonate has unique medicinal capabilities that every healthcare practitioner, doctor and patient needs to know about.<\/p>\n
from a 1924 booklet,[1] published by the Arm & Hammer Soda Company. On page 12 the company starts off saying, \u201cThe proven value of Arm & Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda as a therapeutic agent is further evinced by the following evidence of a prominent physician named Dr. Volney S. Cheney, in a letter to the Church & Dwight Company:<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 1918 and 1919 while fighting the \u2018Flu\u2019 with the U. S. Public Health Service it was brought to my attention that rarely any one who had been thoroughly alkalinized with bicarbonate of soda contracted the disease, and those who did contract it, if alkalinized early, would invariably have mild attacks. I have since that time treated all cases of \u2018Cold,\u2019 Influenza and LaGripe by first giving generous doses of Bicarbonate of Soda, and in many, many instances within 36 hours the symptoms would have entirely abated. Further, within my own household, before Woman\u2019s Clubs and Parent-Teachers\u2019 Associations, I have advocated the use of Bicarbonate of Soda as a preventive for \u201cColds,\u201d with the result that now many reports are coming in stating that those who took \u201cSoda\u201d were not affected, while nearly every one around them had the \u201cFlu.\u201d<\/p>\n
Recommended dosages from the Arm and Hammer Company for colds and influenza back in 1925 were:
\nDuring the first day take six doses of half teaspoonful of Arm & Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at about two hour intervals.<\/p>\n
During the second day take four doses of half teaspoonful of Arm and Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at the same intervals.<\/p>\n
During the third day take two doses of half teaspoonful of Arm and Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water morning and evening, and thereafter half teaspoonful in glass of cool water each morning until cold is cured.<\/p>\n
