Your logic is sound, but aren’t most colds gone in three days anyway? Personaly I take coral calcium, every day, because it does the same thing. Keeps your body more alkiline than acidic. Research says that it prevents lots of other diseases including cancer.
You guys might want to actually read the entire thread, not just the original post, before responding. Just a suggestion…
Um, I’d really like to see evidence that coral calcium “keeps the body more alkaline” and the research showing it prevents cancer. Somebody’s been watching too many infomercials.
Hey DocT, I love many of your posts as their often full of valid medical info. Mind if I ask whether you are a medical doctor (I assume you are)? If so, MD, DO, What med school did u attend and what’s your specialty?. As far as those who think “shifting ph” will do wonders for you, try overdosing on Aspirin which will very quickly cause you to become acidemic and which wilkl also, by the way, very quickly KILL you. My point is, ph imbalances are true medical emergencies which very often cause DEATH, so don’t go around intentionally trying to screw up your ph.
Hey DocT, it seems the message I posted for you isn’t up for some reason so here it goes again: I like your postings b/c they contain sound medical advice. May I ask if you’re a medical doctor (I assume you are)? If so, an MD, DO? What med school did u attend, and what’s your specialty. Thanks! And to all those who belive that messing around w/ ph is a good thing, realize that ph imbalances can be major medical emergencies. In fact, aspirin overdoses can cause fatal acidemia.
BTW, if you’re hypertensive consuming too much baking soda isn’t too brilliant either!
Pebble, I am an MD as you assumed, but I’d like to leave it at that for the sake of anonymity at this time. I’d like my postings to speak for themselves as well. 
Yes, it is true that if you dump an entire box of Arm and Hammer down your throat and somehow manage not to puke the entire thing back up again, it will KILL you!!!
I guess that’s why no one’s advocating taking that much on this thread.
A tablespoon or two won’t cause DEATH in anything much larger than a gerbil.
Sheesh.
