![]() All of these forms, however, interconvert faster than the blink of an eye, so one cannot identify one as carbonate and one as bicarbonate for more than a tiny fraction of a second. In seawater at pH 8.1, most of it (87 percent) will lose one proton to form bicarbonate, a small amount will lose two protons to form carbonate (13 percent), and a very small amount will remain as H2CO3 (1 percent). ![]() The extent to which this happens depends upon the pH and a variety of other factors. It can, for example, lose one or two protons (H+). Once carbonic acid forms, it very quickly equilibrates with the other acids and bases in solution. If the level of carbon dioxide in the blood is lower than normal, which it is in all people who do not exercise or breathe too fast, then this leads to difficulties in releasing oxygen from hemoglobin and that is why it is antihumanitarian to suggest people away from using bicarbonate.īicarbonate deficiency is the most unrecognized medical condition on earth. One of the reasons exercise is so important for our health is that it is the most wonderful way for us to generate large amounts of CO2 and thus much more oxygen passes into the lungs, blood and cells. If a carbon dioxide deficiency becomes chronic, it can be responsible for serious diseases, ageing and cancer. Carbon dioxide, as well as bicarbonate, is a nutrient as well as a product of respiration and energy production in the cells and its lack or deficiency is of itself a starting point for different disturbances in the body. The body struggles to produce enough bicarbonate and it is a losing battle as we age. There is no resistance though one can overdue a good thing and drive alkaline rates too high causing other problems. This is not true since bicarbonate and CO2 are absolute constants in human physiology and though pH levels should be maintained by other means, by alkaline diets and drinks, there is no resisting the power of sodium bicarbonate to radically shift upwards the pH of tissues whether healthy or cancerous. Some people feel that sodium bicarbonate is not recommended for long-term preventive use because the body will become resistant to its action. (This essay is in response to a reader questioning Whang’s statement) Over a hundred years of clinical evidence would say otherwise. A $2.61 pound of sodium bicarbonate will outperform a $100,000 dollar chemo treatment because it targets the most fundamental aspects of cancer physiology, which are acidity and low oxygen conditions, but Sang Whang would rather you buy his product because he does not think sodium bicarbonate works. The basic reason that sodium bicarbonate is such a wonderful cancer treatment is that it directly increases CO2 levels in the body and this has the direct result of allowing more oxygen to reach the cancer sites, which hate O2. Sodium bicarbonate turns to CO2 when it reaches the stomach causing an increase in stomach acid production as well as an increase in bicarbonates in the blood. That is sodium bicarbonate + stomach acid yields salt + water + carbon dioxide.Ĭarbon dioxide is present in the blood in a number of forms such as bicarbonate, dissolved carbon dioxide and carbonic acid, of which 90% is bicarbonate or HCO3. What Whang failed to see is that the CO2 is going into the blood in the form of bicarbonate.īaking soda (sodium bicarbonate) immediately reacts when it mixes with stomach acid. It is exactly like ingesting carbonic acid and sodium salt.” The truth though is bicarbonates enter the bloodstream “only” when the stomach produces hydrochloric acid. Whang says, in a long promotional essay pushing a product, “Consuming sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) does not add bicarbonates to the blood because hydrochloric acid breaks up sodium bicarbonates into water, carbon dioxide and sodium salt in the stomach. Even a so-called health expert like Sang Whang, who is supposed to be an expert at pH regulation, seems not to understand. ![]() Both are necessary for the successful practice of medicine and the treatment of cancer yet few understand the importance of both. Bicarbonate and CO2 are profoundly important for human health.
