No problem, glad to help.I still do all of this and I thank you @Travis but ACV/BS gives me instant results and even more so with methylene blue plus keeps symptoms at bay. Nice to hear @ianut has also noticed positive results (you should get some Oxidal). I did have a high salt and sugar meal the other day and felt symptoms pop up, So Ted from Bangkok is right about that also. Like I said, "Don't underestimate Ted" and thanks to @TreasureVibe for bringing Ted to us! Here is to Hyperpolarization!Let the nutrients flow in...
However, there is this, in regards to ACV. ACV apparently caused potassium deficiency and bone loss in one case described study of a young woman:
3. Low Potassium Levels and Bone Loss
There are no controlled studies on apple cider vinegar's effects on blood potassium levels and bone health at this time.
However, there is one case report of low blood potassium and bone loss that was attributed to large doses of apple cider vinegar taken over a long period of time.
A 28-year-old woman consumed 8 oz (250 ml) of apple cider vinegar diluted in water on a daily basis for six years.
She was admitted to the hospital with low potassium levels and other abnormalities in blood chemistry (15).
What's more, the woman was diagnosed with osteoporosis, a condition of brittle bones that is rarely seen in young people.
Doctors who treated the woman believe the large daily doses of apple cider vinegar led to minerals being leached from her bones to buffer the acidity of her blood.
They also noted that high acid levels can reduce the formation of new bone.
Of course, the amount of apple cider vinegar in this case was much more than most people would consume in a single day — plus, she did this every day for many years.
BOTTOM LINE: There is one case report of low potassium levels and osteoporosis likely caused by drinking too much apple cider vinegar.

The woman in question consumed 8 oz ACV diluted in water daily.
I have no idea why ACV caused potassium deficiency in her case. I think we should investigate to make sure potassium deficiency or any other sde effect is truly not a risk when using ACV. I recall that the doctors in that case study hypothesised that the body was leeching potassium and other minerals from deposits to buffer the acidity of the ACV. But they might be wrong, I don't know. Don't know if this is the only study about ACV and potassium deficiency or if there are more. Needs proper investigation!
Also! Stomach acid is ment to kill pathogens that come in, including cancer contributing and cancer causing pathogens. If the stomach acid therefore is compromised due to the use of bicarbonate, pathogens could get into the bloodstream, and pathogens could settle in the stomach, like H. Pylori. H. Pylori also contributes to overall lowered stomach acid production due to the secretion of ammonia by it, and H. Pylori has been linked to several cancers including stomach cancer, and heart arrythmia/heart disease. H. Pylori is able to settle under the stomach wall tissues where stomach acid can't get to it. This way it manages to survive and thrive. Alot of people have H. Pylori infections according to statistics. I'm unsure if baking soda actually downregulates stomach acid production for example, or impairs it for a certain time. Especially as you've mentioned when you get older, stomach acid gets lower, and compromising stomach acid/possibly stomach acid production (it has to be researched if it can downregulate/impair stomach acid production), it could be harmful in the case of cancer. More pathogens in the bloodstream means less capacity for the immune system to do its job in ridding cancer cells and (cancer) pathogens, among more.
Do not use mastic gum for H. Pylori, I had a severe allergic reaction/kidney toxicity due to it with itching all over my body all night deep down in my tissues that wouldn't go away, and a woman on the internet stated that mastic gum permanently damaged her kidneys and stomach according to examination in a hospital. Mastic gum is a resin, and resins are known to cause kidney toxicity/damage. Licorice root, also sometimes adviced for H. Pylori, if not deglycyrrhised (noted sometimes as DGL in products), can cause dangerous hypertension/increase in blood pressure. (high blood pressure) I'm also unsure if licorice root is a xeno/phytoestrogen, which are just as bad as estrogen according to Ray Peat.
Also you've mentioned a Yeti container. I don't know what the inside material and coating is made of, but acids and acidic beverages are notorious for leeching off toxic metals from the inside of containers. An example is Tetra Pak, which are carton packs commonly sold in supermarkets as drinks and dairy products, which have an aluminum coating on the inside. So you should get that checked out as well.
Toxic metals can also cause and contribute to cancer. Pathogens appear to also like them, iron for example is known to be used by pathogens.
You could try potassium bicarbonate (commonly available) instead of sodium bicarbonate. Make sure its high quality food grade or USP/pharmaceutical grade. Also there is a supposed urban myth which you should check, that baking soda contains aluminum. Aluminum among more can also cause and contribute to cancer.
It could be that the acids cause minerals to be excreted from the body, in the case study of the woman with hypokalemia/potassium deficiency among more, using ACV. Ray Peat mentioned that citric acid for example causes the body to excrete calcium.

. I am feeling super since your thread!
And in this case a big no. Estrogen is bad.
