Yes, since most people are acid, getting it normal requires alkalizing.
And what is MMS?
That is a term coined by Humble which means miracle mineral supplement. It is a 28% solution of sodium chlorite ( not chloride ), which was very popular as a "cure all" on the net about a year ago. It does have some nice properties, killing parasites is one of the things it does best.

Subject: CS>Alkalizing

Well, now that I have gotten my wife off of her high blood pressure medicine, and she says she fells better than she has in over a decade, I am wanting to do the same for her diabetes medicine. I am trying to get her alkalized and chelated. For the alkalizing I am adding 1 drop of MMS per quart of water in our water tank. I am looking at adding some additional minerals to the water.

Exploring sodium bicarbonate I am concerned that it is strongly alkaline when it hits the stomach. This immediately reacts with the stomach acid producing CO2, water and table salt. This can screw up digestion, and long term cause the body to produce excess acid to counteract it. The alkalizing is then done in the blood by the body replacing the HCl changing the NaCl in the blood to HCl in the stomach and sodium bicarbonate in the blood. Having to produce extra HCl in an empty stomach concerns me, I think it can lead to digestive problems in the long term. Another consideration is that baking soda makes water taste pretty bad.

So upon investigating I found that citrates of the alkali metals are considered ideal for alkalizing the body. Potassium citrate, which is often used, can lead to electrolyte imbalances, as can magnesium and calcium, unless they are balanced in the application. Sodium citrate however is well tolerated by the body, with excessive sodium in the form of salt being quickly and easily eliminated by the kidneys. So I am considering adding sodium citrate to my water as well.

Now, it seems that sodium citrate is not readily available locally, but can be ordered from soap making suppliers. However sodium citrate can be easily made by adding one mol of citric acid to 3 mols of bicarbonate of soda ( 100 grams of citric acid to 85.8 grams of sodium bicarbonate ). I have to be very careful to not put more citric acid in then is needed, or it will activate the MMS drops I am adding. Maybe I just need to test the pH and make sure that it is not under 7. Anyway, that is what I am working on, and will keep everyone posted on how thing are going as I try it.

Marshall
