 Hydrotherapy: Soak for 30-60 minutes in a tub filled with lukewarm water containing 1 cup of baking soda. This will cool the skin and make it alkaline. A paste made up of corn starch and cool water has also been found to help alleviate the prickly heat by soothing the skin and keeping it cool.
TIP: PREVENTION
Wear loose-fitting clothing and limit outdoor activities to the mornings and evenings during hot weather. Wherever possible stay in an air-conditioned environment during hot weather. |

To Prevent Constipation:
• Vegetables, fruit, and whole grains! A diet rich in these foods—especially the first two—will help a great deal with constipation.
• Make sure you're getting 30 or more grams of fiber each day in your food and supplements.
• Repopulate the colon with "good" bacteria—live probiotics, including L. acidophilus and B. bifidus strains—with each meal or once a day for six weeks.
• Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day.
• Get adequate exercise. |

 They will use baking soda to neutralize themselves. My wife was highly chemically sensitive for 10 years. When I designed Myo-Mag for her, she could not take any vitamin, or just maybe a couple of things that were very simple. Afterwards, she could take any vitamin. She had ATP! The world is not going to get any better by sitting back or waiting for improvement. We are pushing the envelope, and if you can get enough of it out there, it starts filtering down, especially after you see what it does for you. |

You do everything you possibly can externally, but even you do not use shampoos. You do not use soaps. Then you find out you do not need them. Actually the more you eat good, organic whole food and stay away from these chemicals, the better you smell, to the point that now, walking up to someone with a bunch of perfume on is a bad experience.

 Homemade Treatment for Blood Sugar
According to Broadhurst's excellent book on diabetes, the best way to use cinnamon to help lower blood sugar and improve type 2 diabetes is to put 3 rounded tablespoons of ground cinnamon and l/i to 1 teaspoon of baking soda (less if sodium is a problem for you) in a 3 2-ounce (quart) canning jar. Fill the jar with boiling water and let it steep at room temperature till it's cool. Strain or decant the liquid, discard the grounds, put a lid on the jar, and stick it in the fridge. Drink one 8-ounce cup of the tea four times per day. |

| Shaving cream or a paste of baking soda or mud can also be applied to the wound. Shave the area with a razor or knife and reapply vinegar or alcohol. The shaving cream or paste prevents nematocysts (stinging cells) that have not been activated from discharging toxins during removal with the razor. Immobilize the extremity that has been stung because movement may cause the venom to spread. If a jellyfish stings you in the eye, irrigate the eye with 1 gallon of fresh water. If you are stung in the mouth, rinse the mouth with vinegar diluted to one-quarter of its strength. |

 Values higher than pH 7 are considered alkaline (also known as base). baking soda has an alkaline pH of 9. Values lower than pH 7 are considered acid. Vinegar has an acidic pH of 3. If the blood deviates from its narrow range of normal acidity, delicate proteins can be damaged. Enzymes need normal acidity to perform their functions and are vital to life. In hospitals the acidity of intravenous solutions is carefully adjusted for proper pH.
The concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) determines the acidity of a solution. The higher the concentration of hydrogen ions, the higher the acidity. |

| When baker James Dewar invented the Twinkie in 1930, he used real ingredients—flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, eggs, and cream. Today's Twinkie has morphed into a scientific experiment; while Twinkies still do contain traces of the original ingredients, they also hold thirty-seven other ingredients that you won't find in your pantry. The creamy white filling is made mostly from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil and/or beef fat; polysorbate 60 is added to it, which is a gooey substance derived from corn, palm oil, and petroleum that helps replace cream and eggs at a fraction of the cost. |
| Spray the mixture where ants are getting in (windowsills, floorboards) and watch them disappear. baking soda and powdered sugar can send cockroaches packing; and an herbal spray or natural flea collar can help repel fleas on your pet. You can find natural, oil- and plant-based products to use on your pets that will keep them flea free. The best advice of all, however, for keeping your home pest free is to keep it clean and deodorized from the start. |
| Old-fashioned baking soda works like magic as a carpet deodorizer. White vinegar and water is an excellent stain remover and general carpet cleaner. For a heavy-duty job, you can steam-clean your carpets every few months or as needed. When you are ready to buy your next vacuum, choose one that has a HEPA filter, and vacuum at least twice a week.

 Then rinse out your mouth with Vt teaspoon of baking soda, or XA teaspoon of unrefined sea salt (take either of these, dissolved in a small amount of water). This solution will remove all remnants of the oil and toxins. Additionally, you may want to brush your teeth to make sure your mouth is clean. Tongue scraping is also advised.
Some of the visible effects of oil swishing include the elimination of gum bleeding and the whitening of teeth. During times of illness, this procedure can be repeated 3 times per day, but only on an empty stomach. |
| It may be useful to rinse your mouth out with baking soda and/or brush your teeth several times per day to prevent the acid from damaging your teeth. (In case you are intolerant of apple juice or allergic to it, see the other options explained in Having Difficulties with the Cleanse? at the end of this chapter.)
Dietary recommendations: During the entire week of preparation and cleansing, avoid foods or beverages that are cold or chilled; they chill the liver and, thereby, reduce the effectiveness of the cleanse. All foods or beverages should be warm or at least room temperature. |
| It is also helpful to brush your teeth afterward or rinse out the mouth with baking soda. One of the main actions of Epsom salt is to dilate (widen) the bile ducts, making it easy for the stones to pass. Moreover, the salts clear out waste that may obstruct the release of the stones. (If you are allergic to Epsom salts or are just not able to get them down, you may instead use the second best choice—magnesium citrate—at the same dosage.) Set out the citrus fruit you will be using later, so that it can warm to room temperature.
8:00 p.m. Drink your second serving (% glass) of Epsom salts. |

 As an example of this, mix baking soda and fresh lemon juice together and notice the bubbling and frothing; the gas produced is caused by an acid mixing with an alkali.
Aside from the acid-alkaline stomach digestion consideration, we must become aware of the time that different foods take to digest. This is important because combining a fast-digesting food, like sugar, or fruit that has sugar in it, with a slow-digesting food, like bread or meat, sets up fermentation in the stomachs of those who manufacture inadequate amounts of enzymes and hydrochloric acid. |

 These deodorizers can be toxic, and can cover up the odors but the baking soda will absorb them and it is nontoxic. Read labels and make sure that the product contains no deodorizers, colors, or drying agents that could be potentially harmful to your cat.
A good hint for changing the brand of litter with finicky cats is to do this slowly. Perhaps begin by mixing one-fourth of the new biodegradable litter with the familiar kitty litter. Over time, your cat will adjust to the switch.

| As mentioned above, those include water, white vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, and maybe some borax and hydrogen peroxide. And if do-it-yourself cleaning products aren't for you, there are many brands on the market that do not contain harsh chemicals but work expertly well. Nontoxic, environmentally friendly household cleaners are now available in most health food stores as well as many mass market stores (see Resource Directory, page 265, for leads).These can still be a little pricier than regular toxic cleaners, but your health is worth it. |
