To increase your body’s pH, take 1/4 tsp. of baking soda dissolved in one-half glass of water on an empty stomach, once in the morning and again before bedtime. Don’t take it with or within an hour of meals, though, as the stomach needs to retain its acidity in order to perform its digestive functions effectively.

During the first day take six doses of half teaspoonful bicarbonate of soda in glass of cool water, at about two hour intervals. During the second day take four doses of half teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda in glass of cool water, at the same intervals. During the third day, take two doses of half teaspoonful of 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.

By taking baking soda every day you will elevate your pH level and alkalize your body very quickly. This is crucial if you have arthritis, because once the body is alkaline relief from this disease begins almost immediately (no disease, including arthritis, can survive in an alkaline environment). The beauty of drinking baking soda as a natural arthritis remedy is that it provides massive benefits with no negatives (as long as you don't take more than a teaspoon a day).
