Interim conclusions
Which thoughts can be formulated from the above:
- The specified composition of lemon, soda and water has a more delicate effect on changing the acid-base balance, due to the presence in it of a reaction product, a buffer substance - sodium citrate, a kind of inhibitor of these processes.
- Both sodium bicarbonate and the components of lemon juice, in general, retain the set of active elements that can have a beneficial effect on the ability of the body’s immune system to resist infectious antigens. It is worth mentioning that the juice of one lemon contains a loading dose of ascorbic acid, the same vitamin C - an important link in increasing the body's resistance and an active antioxidant. In addition, the alkaline reaction of the soda solution smoothes out the acid reaction of lemon juice, which protects the teeth and mucous membranes from excessive influence of the acidic environment.
- The recipe contains mandatory requirements for the quality of lemon and high purity of sodium bicarbonate, which significantly improves the overall preparation culture and the final state of the ready-to-use mixture.
- This remedy should not be considered a panacea for the COVID-19 viral infection for a number of quite objective reasons. Because infection can be effectively resisted only by a system and a set of measures, and not by a single miracle elixir.
The essence of the method
As you know, ingenious things are simple in nature, so some users attribute the excellent results of the Israelis in countering the global infection to the total acceptance of the following remedy by local residents.
A teaspoon of baking soda is dissolved in a glass of warm water, after which freshly squeezed juice of one medium-sized lemon is added. After the end of the violent reaction, accompanied by abundant release of carbon dioxide bubbles, the mixture is drunk in small sips at a time. All this is done immediately before going to bed.
Important! The editors contacted their sources in Haifa and clarified some details. In particular, the obligatory condition is the use of lemon juice, and not lime or fruit hybrids based on the lemon tree - only classic, well-ripened lemon. It is worth avoiding unripe fruits or those in which ripening occurs outside the fruit shoot.
Again, a prerequisite is to use the juice of a whole lemon once, and not part of it.
Also, what feature was noted by our respondent? This is that in some cases, especially at the initial stage of the manifestation of ailments, the remedy is prepared on the basis of hot water, not boiling water, but with a temperature of about 80 degrees Celsius. In this case, the method can be considered as the use of a kind of antiviral tea. Let us consider the mechanism of the reactions occurring.
General Risks and Considerations
Baking soda contains sodium bicarbonate, which is an active ingredient in some medications such as antacids and can potentially interact with other medications. People who intend to regularly use baking soda for medicinal purposes should first consult a doctor.
Anyone with kidney disease or high blood pressure should avoid sodium bicarbonate because it can increase sodium levels in the blood.
Side effects of sodium bicarbonate:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Headache
- Thirst
- Abdominal pain
- Excess gases
- Frequent urination
- Edema of the lower extremities
- Fatigue
Lemons contain many essential vitamins and minerals. Lemon juice also contains compounds that have beneficial antibacterial and antioxidant properties.
However, lemon juice is acidic and frequent use may cause side effects:
- Loss of enamel
- Caries
- Acid reflux
- Nausea and vomiting
New cure for cancer
Scientists around the world are looking for a cure for this insidious and terrible disease. In recent years, they have turned their attention to the effect of lemon and soda on malignant cells. As a result of the observations, it turned out that the substances found in these products negatively affect more than 12 types of different cancer tumors. Under their influence, the growth and development of pathogenic cells is disrupted. In some cases, this combination turned out to be very effective, as a result only pathogenic cells die, while healthy ones remain unharmed.
Although positive results have been achieved, it is still too early to say that a cure for cancer has been found. After all, each organism is individual and what helped one may not help another patient. But scientists are working on this, conducting research to improve this technique. Doctors also recommend periodically taking an aqueous solution of soda and lemon for the overall health of the body.
Features of application
Despite the fact that soda with lemon has a number of positive properties, when using them for weight loss, you should consult with a gastroenterologist about the appropriateness and effectiveness of this method in a particular case.
There are a number of contraindications for which this method cannot be used:
- gastrointestinal diseases;
- intolerance to any ingredient;
- pregnancy period;

If there are any of these contraindications, the method should not be used.
