Baking soda ‘could help kidneys’
by admin on July 25, 2009
A daily dose of baking soda could transform the lives of patients with failing kidneys, it has been claimed
New research by British scientists suggests sodium bicarbonate – otherwise known as baking soda – can dramatically slow the progress of chronic kidney disease.
The simple household product used for baking, cleaning, bee stings and acid indigestion is so effective it could prevent patients having to be put on kidney machines, the results show.
The cost of looking after kidney failure patients soaks up 3% of the entire NHS budget. On average, every patient on dialysis costs the NHS £30,000 per year.
The pilot study conducted at the Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, was the first controlled test of the treatment in a clinical setting.
The findings have been published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
Let’s see what Big Pharma makes of this? Hardly any money can be made with baking soda, especially if results are the same with various forms of cancer. So we will probably see some articles appear that will shed a different light on the use of baking soda.
