I dont see how it could hurt

Try asking a doctor on JustAnswer

Not getting her cancer treated will kill her faster than the baking soda will

nigga just google it

it seems harmless, tho I doubt it'll cure her cancer

as long as she's pursuing other treatments and not going full steve jobs it isn't really a problem

your mother is probably feeling scared and powerless and this goofy home cure is at least giving her some sense of agency with the whole thing. Don't give her shit for that

It's not necessarily unhealthy.
The myth that baking soda cures cancer is related to the effect of cancer on blood (it causes a slight acid pH in the area around the tumor, Warburg effect) but drinking baking soda has absolutely no effect on the blood.
While baking soda is basic, the stomach and the digestion process nullify its basic pH and nothing gets in the blood.
It might hurt her stomach, but I'm not sure.
Tell your mom to stop doing it, it's silly.

That's a fuck ton of sodium. I think the idea behind it is that cancer doesn't like an alkaline environment. However taking baking soda isn't gonna do shit. If she gets a placebo effect from it and it makes her feel good, I wouldn't stop her, just suggest she do it once a day instead. Also, consult a doctor about that sodium intake.

Although if she has cancer, too much sodium is probably the least of her worries.

this

your mom has cancer so don't give her shit for ANYTHING unless it's straight up worse than cancer

I drank a lot of baking soda when I had a uti.

i'm worried bc it's alkaline, it's quite aggressive i guess
>>17669410
i wouldn't interfere with anything she's willing to try, but i'm worried it might add up to health problems

>>17669380
Whip it in the glass, nigga.

>this is unhealthy, right?
Not really. Baking soda in dissolved and drinkable quantities is pretty much harmless. At worst she'll get gassy, but i'd say that the placebo-effect gained far outweighs that.

Drinking that much baking soda is going to seriously fuck with the PH in her stomach. I do not think it's going to help beat her cancer in that form. She will have a hard time digesting anything because her stomach acid will be completely suppressed and food will just ferment in her stomach instead of breaking down.

Baking soda kills cancer cells but only intravenously and not without risk. The doctor who figured this out was run out of town because someone died while undergoing treatment and intravenous baking soda treatment has been scorned ever since.

I'm relatively certain it won't affect her ability to digest food in a significant fashion. Stomach acid is already at a low enough concentration to the point where drinking water can offset an upset stomach, but it's not like drinking water afflicts people the same way gluten affects people with celiac disease.

Granted, if she's drinking dissolved baking soda water with every meal, it might cause some indigestion. At worst, her blood pressure will rise, because the reaction between HCl (stomach acid) and NaHCO3 (backing soda) forms salt.

I think baking soda has a lot of salt, and if there's something in it that helps with cancer, then she probably needs to separate that specific thing and up the dose of whatever it is. However, without a doctors supervision, it probably will make her sick.

She should go to Mexico or some other country and see what their health systems have to offer besides chemo.
