Hi, FYI, in the book Acid Alkaline Diet there is an old time remedy of 1/8th teaspoon each of essence of peppermint, baking soda, and spirit of ammonia that normalizes stomach acid.
It's understood in household remedy circles that much can be done without phar-maekia (the mixing of drugs), and the things of old are quite helpful.
I find it ironic that the spirit of ammonia was put in coke. Coke has to be one of the most poisonous acid making things (along with all other sweet pop drinks) one could swallow. Must have been mixed with coke to kill the taste of the ammonia. In a recent documentary of the invention of soda pop one statement that set in my memory is that after the widespread acceptance of soda pop "they watched the thin people get fat". Interesting, huh? I don't drink the stuff and, I'm not fat.
The book is excellent and gives many things one can do to improve health. Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.
Alkalize or Die is another similar book. Both expound nicely upon society being too acid, a major problem bringing about premature death.
