Recommended dosages from the Arm and Hammer Company for colds and
influenza back in 1925 were:
During the first day take six doses of half teaspoonful of Arm &
Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at about two hour
intervals.
During the second day take four doses of half teaspoonful of Arm and
Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at the same
intervals.
During the third day take two doses of half teaspoonful of Arm and
Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water morning and evening,
and thereafter half teaspoonful in glass of cool water each morning
until cold is cured.
***Well the sodium bicarbonate cure for colds and sore throats.
A friend called as I was reading about it, I told her to try it.
She is rapt! Relief in a few hours, and she went to work the
following day! And she was miserable and could hardly talk,
had just woken with it full on, and was planning on missing
work.***

Testimonials:
My father was a veterinarian and as far back as I can remember (I was
born in 1938 so my memory goes back to maybe 1943) he would take
sodium bicarbonate dissolved in a full glass of warm water whenever
he
felt a cold coming on. I don’t remember him ever coming down with a
full blown cold. He would treat my cold symptoms likewise and I
responded equally as well. He also treated farm animals for various
illnesses with sodium bicarbonate via a gastric tube and they
recovered quickly. So I’ve known about the benefits of sodium
bicarbonate from early childhood on. Glad to see that its benefits
are
being more widely touted. Although my father was a doctor of
Veterinarian medicine, he sometimes referred to himself as an MD
(Mule
Doctor).
Dr. David B Winter, DO

Sodium bicarbonate is one of the two sodium salts of carbonic acid, the
one where one of the two "acid hydrogens" is replaced by a sodium.
Carbonic acid is the result of combining carbon dioxide and water.
In solution, sodium bicarbonate dissociates into carbonic acid and
sodium hydroxide,
or more properly, carbonic acid (part of which dissociates into
bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions, with a few carbonate ions), sodium
ions, and hydroxide ions.
The body regulates breathing to conserve-vs-exhale carbon dioxide from
bicarbonate ions and acid hydrogen ions in the bloodstream to regulate
blood pH.
But basically, sodium bicarbonate is the less alkaline one of the two
sodium salts of what you get when you dissolve CO2 into water.
It is hard to see anything so magical about it.

No, not magical...it just simply works.
Try it the next time you find yourself in or heading into a cold...

Applied topically it has a mild antiseptic effect, probably due to its
alkalinity. I've never tried drinking it, but we don't need an
explanation for there to be an effect. At worst it's harmless and
inexpensive.
I take that back: at worst it might keep you from seeking treatment.
If you think you might have swine flu, do see a doctor. I put that
off and ended up with pneumonia.
