Overview

This narrative review explores the therapeutic value of controlling acid-base balance, focusing on the use of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) for various conditions. While baking soda has been subject to dubious claims for miracle cures, its role in managing acid-base imbalances is supported by evidence, including its use in FDA-approved treatments. The review also examines the influence of pharmaceuticals on acid-base balance and the impact of acid-base status on drug pharmacokinetics.

Original Abstract of the Article :
Baking soda and vinegar have been used as home remedies for generations and today we are only a mouse-click away from claims that baking soda, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar are miracles cures for everything from cancer to COVID-19. Despite these specious claims, the therapeutic value of contr...See full text at original site

The Balancing Act: Acid-Base Equilibrium and its Therapeutic Value

This narrative review explores the critical role of acid-base balance in human health. It addresses the ongoing debate surrounding the therapeutic benefits of certain substances, such as baking soda, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar, which are often touted as miracle cures. While acknowledging the dubious claims, the authors highlight the undeniable importance of maintaining proper acid-base balance within the body. They discuss how this principle underpins FDA-approved treatments for a wide range of conditions, including constipation, epilepsy, and metabolic acidosis.

The Complex Dance of Acids and Bases

The review provides evidence for the current and potential therapeutic value of addressing both local and systemic acid-base imbalances. It delves into the mechanisms of action and potential side effects of various pharmaceuticals and their impact on acid-base balance. The authors highlight the influence of acid-base status on the pharmacokinetic properties of drugs, underscoring the intricate relationship between these factors.

Maintaining Balance: A Journey Through the Body's Landscape

This study emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to health, considering the intricate interplay of various systems within the body. It's like navigating a vast desert landscape, where maintaining a delicate balance between water and sand is essential for survival. Understanding acid-base balance and its impact on various organ systems can lead to better health outcomes and a greater appreciation for the body's delicate equilibrium.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the therapeutic importance of acid-base balance. It emphasizes the need for further research to explore the potential of targeted interventions that address specific imbalances within the body. By understanding the complexities of this fundamental principle, we can unlock new avenues for treatment and improve patient care.
