" In 1918 and 1919, while fighting the “flu,” it was brought to the attention of the US Public Health Service that rarely anyone who had been thoroughly alkalinized with bicarbonate of soda contracted the disease, and those who did contract it, if alkalinized early, would invariably have mild attacks.
The coronavirus was found to be quite stable at pH 6.0 and 37°C (half-life, approximately 24 hours) but was rapidly and irreversibly inactivated by brief treatment at pH 8.0 and 37°C (half-life, approximately 30 minutes).
Diet and drinking water play a role in blood pH adjustment. The normal range of arterial blood pH is 7.35 to 7.45. Alkaline forming diet or drinks could induce low-grade metabolic alkalosis which causes only very small increases in blood pH within the range considered to be normal. Within that range, this means that the system equilibrates nearer the higher end of normal rather than the lower end of normal. In a slightly alkaline environment viruses might be weakened or do not multiply efficiently. Immune function may work better in alkaline medium as well. "
Recommended dosages from the Arm & Hammer Company for colds and influenza back in 1925 were:
Day 1 — Take six doses of ½ teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool water, at about two-hour intervals
Day 2 — Take four doses of ½ teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool water, at the same intervals
Day 3 — Take two doses of ½ teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool water morning and evening, and thereafter ½ teaspoon in glass of cool water each morning until cold symptoms are gone.
