I brush my teeth with it, but never thought to use it for this purpose.
Brian Cates has, and here’s his story:
“No joke, when someone suggested around July of last year that I deal with parasites and acidity by adding two tablespoons of baking soda to a 12 oz glass of purified water and drinking it for several days, early in the morning… I was not prepared for how intense the results were. Even though he warned me to make sure I stayed near a toilet and didn’t go anywhere on any day I did this.
My system literally FLUSHED itself of an amazing amount of toxins, parasites and other things within 20 minutes of my first drinking the baking soda. Not not just one bowel movement. It took several to get rid of it all before it was over. Did this 2-3 times a week for a month. Then only every now and then.
At no time have I returned to the ‘epic’ first purge, which tells me most of the toxins and other stuff hasn’t come back. So yeah, I think there is something to this. Forcing your body out of its acidic state into a balanced state literally causes acidic/toxic material to ‘flee’ your body through the rectum.”

who adds more info about the benefits of baking soda.
“You won’t believe the incredible health benefits of BAKING SODA“
High extracellular acidity is a prime contributor to cancer. Acidity: ⬩Increases the spread of cancer throughout the body ⬩Suppresses immunity, promotes inflammation ⬩Promotes aggressive types of cancer
Bicarbonate (baking soda) is our body’s way of reducing this acidity.
Baking soda can also help your digestion. Many people report a gentle laxative effect of around one teaspoon of baking soda in warm water. Baking soda has been shown to increase stomach acid, critical for killing pathogens and breaking down food.
Don’t use A&H use Bob’s Red Mill.
A brand like Bob’s Red Mill (or Frontier or various other natural brands of baking soda) are mined directly from the ground in their natural sodium bicarbonate state. There are no chemical reactions, nothing added or fiddled with. It’s just pure sodium bicarbonate, the way the earth made it.
On the other hand, Arm & Hammer baking soda uses a chemical reaction process through which trona ore is mined, then heated until it turns into soda ash. Then the soda ash is treated with carbon dioxide creating baking soda.
I put a 1/2 teaspoon in my first cup of java every morning.
Haven’t tried the double-barrel tablespoon thing, but it would be worth it to have the correct balance in my beer and pizza receiver.
Take a probiotic afterward because baking soda (Arm & Hammer) destroys the beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract. Don’t know whether Bob’s Red Mill or other brands of pure sodium bicarbonate have the same effect but I’d still take a probiotic protectively until you can discover whether the pure form does not harm the good bacteria that you need in your digestive system.
