Overlooked 150-year-old household cleaner a remedy for H1N1?

In today’s modern world of medicine the FDA just will not let companies that sell products make medical claims about them unless they have been tested at great expense, and approved as a drug. But this was not always the case.

In a 1924 booklet published by the Arm & Hammer Soda Company, the company starts off saying, “The proven value of Arm & Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda as a therapeutic agent is further evinced by the following evidence of a prominent physician named Dr. Volney S. Cheney, in a letter to the Church & Dwight Company:

“In 1918 and 1919 while fighting the ‘Flu’ with the U. S. Public Health Service it was brought to my attention that rarely any one who had been thoroughly alkalinized with bicarbonate of soda contracted the disease, and those who did contract it, if alkalinized early, would invariably have mild attacks.”

Recommended dosages from the Arm and Hammer Company for colds and influenza back in 1925 were:

• During the first day take six doses of half teaspoonful of 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

Cola increases risk of osteoporosis

With the hustle and bustle of daily life, it can be easy to reach for a readily available - though not the healthiest - drink choice -- soda pops! But these thirst quenching drinks can also wreak havoc on our bones.

We have all heard the negative effects of drinking soda on obesity, attention deficit disorders and even dental problems. Although, a recent study has now added a new concern to that list. Women who drink cola regularly have a higher risk of developing the brittle bone disease osteoporosis.

In the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Tuft University researchers examined 2500 men and women and discovered that regardless of age and calcium intake, women who drank four or more colas per week had lower bone mineral density. Researcher concluded this by measuring bone density at the spine and three locations on the hip. Decreased density was found at the three hip locations but not revealed in the spine.

The researchers say that phosphoric acid in cola may turn the blood too acidic, which leaches calcium from the bones to balance out the acidity. These results also heighten the awareness of cola consumption with children. Calcium is a vital nutrition for the growth and development of their bones. Studies have revealed that increased consumption with children has lead to bone fractures and growth problems.

More research is needed to determine colas effect on bones, but reducing or finding alternatives would be a healthier choice. At the next gathering of friends and family offer fruit juice, ice tea, lemonade, and bottled water.
