Natrium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), which, most often, is called sodium bicarbonate, is a natural substance which regulates the pH in the human body as a counterbalance of piling up of acids, which is a crucial thing. Moreover, it affects the pH cells and tissues, balances the cells’ strength (power) and increases the amount of CO2 which helps in the process of oxygenation. All in all, Natrium bicarbonate is a powerful medicinal tool and everyone can benefit from it.

In one study, British researchers gave sodium bicarbonate orally, combined with regular treatment, to patients who suffer from kidney diseases and metabolic acidosis for a period of two years. Moreover, Natrium bicarbonate lowered the rate of decline of kidney functionality for two-thirds, and only 6, 5 percent of the patients had to undergo dialysis when the study ended.
Cancer
Studies have shown that the increase of bicarbonate level in the organism increases the pH of acidic tumors, without influencing the pH of blood and healthy tissues. Although this type of study has not been conducted with people, it has been proven that sodium bicarbonate makes the tumors more alkaline and prevents metastasis in animals.
Because of these studies and the fact that sodium bicarbonate is safe, renewed world doctors such as Dr Julian Whitaker, have adopted successful protocols for curing cancer as part of the nutrient and immune program for organism support in patients who suffer from these diseases.
According to Whitaker’s protocol, 12 grams of sodium bicarbonate are mixed with two cups of water, with any low- calorie sweetener (for better taste) and drunk in periods from an hour or two, three times per day. A lot of people claim that they have cured cancer with the help of sodium bicarbonate.

The recommended dosages are:
1st day- take 6 dosages of half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in glass of cold water. Drink it in intervals from an hour or two
2nd day- take 4 dosages of half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in a glass of cold water in the above mentioned intervals
