Or baking soda mixed in water? (I tried this one and had violent burps for about half an hour, not dealing with cancer but wanted to try it out and the discomfort made me stop on day 1)
The burps were the gas released as the bicarbonate neutralized the acid in your stomach, you can do the same for heartburn if you don't have Tums (calcium carbonate) or need relief really fast. Tums does the same just more gently as it's a slower reaction.
Yes, I figured as much, as long as the resulting salts are still alkaline (chemistry is my weak area).
I wanted to try to use that approach rather than the 'green' diets that people push as alkaline. It was a much more aggressive reaction than I was expecting is all.
