My experience shows that raising Alkalinity, or pH, is more easily accomplished with baking soda in a long-retention, gentle enema.
There is little to no 'discomfort,' and the effect is not DEFEATED by the stomach acid, which NEEDS TO BE at about 4.0, to prevent food poisoning, and to aid in proper digestion.
I know that a lot of people are not accustomed to enema-medicine, but for some things, it's the best way to get therapeutic compounds, such as Powdered Shark Cartilage, into the system.
