wait, how are you using BS for skin benefits? applying it on the face?

So what i understand is you have tried "everything" except the RP number one rule that is increase your fiber intake from whole fruits...((Peat supplement experiments include thyroid, niacinamide, progesterone, cyproheptadine - all of which I have dosed cautiously and still keep in rotation. I've used oregano oil extensively with limited success (though more success than all other strategies). I've also tried sulfur, diatomaceous earth, charcoal, enzymes, B vits, fat soluble vits, magnesium. High fat, low fat, starch, no starch, vegetables, no vegetables, lots of meat, no meat, lots of dairy, no dairy.))
Just wanted to update to say I'm not sure what my deal was here but this really wasn't true. I observed some kind of false pattern or something else was causing me issues, but any vinegar works for me. It's hard to do science with only one test subject I've actually branched out to even mixing the baking soda with citric acid and malic acid, and they all seem to work.However it does seem that even people with mast cell issues (like me) often do better with RAW apple cider vinegar. After experimenting I have found that the only way this method helps (or even foams up the proper way when mixing) is with the raw ACV. The times it led me astray were when I thought I could get away with using other vinegars. This makes me suspect that the effect is not only from the acetic acid, bicarbonate, sodium acetate, or whatever, but rather at least heavily in part due to the fermentation byproducts that remain in the vinegar. It is known that even dead bacteria (like the ones in raw ACV) has a “probiotic”/immune modulating/antibiotic effect, one that is likely much safer and Peat approved than ingesting live bacteria. There is significant anecdotal support for ingesting raw apple cider vinegar for all kinds of problems and I suspect this is why. I’ve restarted the acv+baking soda and I still find it very helpful. I still don’t think any one thing “cures” someone like me as I believe I have significant metabolic damage or genetic impairments since birth, but the acv soda is up there in my opinion with thyroid hormone in terms of benefits that touch every system of the body.
I'm glad it works. It's a shame the whole pharma and medicine industry got the stomach acidity issue wrong, and instead of preparing the stomach for digestion with substances that raise stomach acidity, throw in a bunch of antacids after a meal
oh well, no money to be made with baking soda, betain HCl, or raw apple cider vinegar...
Wow, what a great find! I had never considered MoM form for supplementing, but I might give it a try, per your experiences and recommendation. Is this still your choice of forms? Probably true it's underrated; ironically, why wouldn't we intuitively choose MoM BECAUSE it is known to do what Magnesium is supposed to do!!!?Let us know how it goes @artist - I've come to realize after a lot of experimenting with all the various magnesium supplements available that they all act a little differently. Milk of magnesia is underrated, mainly referred to for the laxative quality but imo it is highly effective for supplementing in smaller quantities. Like many old boring drug store staples it seems to have slipped under the radar. For whatever reason it has been the most effective for me for joint/muscle pain management (1 tsp twice a day doses). Other forms seem to work better for the gaba effects; you would think the magnesium oxide form would basically act the same but I haven't had the same success - I can take the hydroxide form and literally within an hour notice a 50% reduction in stiff/popping joints from costochondritis flare ups. Magnesium via Epsom, Citrate, Malate, Chloride, Threonate, Glycinate - all have done little for me in comparison - even when transdermal or pre dissolved in water.
Really interesting thread- and I read it all the way through. I've been taking backing soda, potassium bicarbonate, and magnesium bicarbonate together stirred up into orange juice 3-4 x/day and the biggest thing I've noticed so far is less heaviness in my legs, less lactic acid? The first few days I peed a lot.Just wanted to update to say I'm not sure what my deal was here but this really wasn't true.

Something I realized recently while doing research on how different things affect urine pH is that both citric acid and acetic acid (vinegar) metabolize to bicarbonate in the body, which is why they all raise urine pH. I'm wondering if the craving for vinegar and citrus, which many of us share, isn't caused by a need for bicarbonate. I think sodium (which acts as a mast cell stabilizer unto itself) and bicarbonate (which has many known health benefits) are both likely candidates for why baking soda is so helpful, both by itself and reacted with other bicarbonate producing compounds.

Some benefits of Milk of Magnesia could be due to its sodium hypochlorite acting as a bowel disinfectant.Wow, what a great find!

Also, very minimal ingredients. Kroger used to offer a brand without the additive whose name escapes me at the moment, but I haven't been able to find any brand since that doesn't have ***? If you know of one, please share! Thanks for great post.
