              is baking soda and water a cheap form of doing this?

                    Hello all,

                    Be careful here.  This study was on mice, not humans.  The whole alkaline diet thing is a well-known "cancer myth".  Here's the problem, the body is constantly trying to regulate PH balance and when you throw off the balance by ingesting large amounts of an alkaline (or acid for that matter), your organs go into overdrive trying to regulate the system and bring it back in balance.  Ultimately doing more harm than good. Perhaps new research will somehow change this viewpoint but for now tread lightly and don't drink the snake oil.

                          My wife has been driking a 9.5 alkaline water for 9 months now and nothing else. No change her cancer. Still spreading and getting more aggressive. There may be some theraputic approaches that offer better results but I am not aware of any.
