So I read this article this morning and am worried fir the people in Italy. If there are any Italians on the board, or if you have relatives in Italy to please tell them to alkalize their bodies. Baking soda in water helps but also the NIH said this treatment helps to defeat viruses. I’ve included some info from various articles on some ways to do this, I hope this helps some people
Italy: Coronavirus Death Toll Rises 16 Percent in 24 Hours, Exceeds 2,500. In the last 24 hours, 345 more people have died in Italy from the Chinese coronavirus, which brings the nation’s death toll to 2,503 on Tuesday, up from 2,158 on Monday — an increase of 16 percent in one day

How Does All this Science About Our Body’s pH Work?
You can measure the level of acidity in almost anything – water, soil, animals, plants, and people by measuring its pH. The pH measures the concentration of the hydrogen ion in the body and works with a scale that goes from 1 to 14. A pH below seven is considered acidic, a pH of seven is neutral, and anything above is considered basic or alkaline. The ideal pH for our bodies is slightly alkaline: 7.30 to 7.45.
You can test your body’s pH by doing a urine test. However, you should be aware that dehydration, infections, bacterial overgrowth, and other issues can affect your urinary pH test. It’s safe to assume your body is too acidic if you are suffering from a chronic disease or symptoms such as:
Constipation
Confusion
Salt cravings
Rapid, shallow breath/ difficulty holding breath
Frequent urination
Swelling and bloating
Poor brain function/ brain fog
Poor sleep
Tremors
Acne
Let’s Get That pH Alkalized!
First of all, ideally a person should only have 20 percent acidic foods (e.g. meat, dairy products, refined carbohydrates [including sugar], and coffee). The rest of one’s diet should be filled with alkaline or neutral foods. In addition, here are some tips to getting rid of toxic acids and alkalize your body.
Alkaline Water: Water generally has a pH of seven. Alkaline water has a pH of eight or nine. This is due to an increased number of in the water. Several studies prove that this water alleviates certain conditions. One study suggests alkalize water may benefit people suffering from high cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes. Another study shows how drinking alkaline water (of a pH level of 8.8) can help deactivate pepsin, the main enzyme causing acid reflux.
Acupuncturist Karen Lester has seen a lot of her patients benefit from drinking alkaline water.
Whenever I get a patient with gastro issues, the first thing I do is recommend they start drinking only alkaline water. Many times they’ll notice a positive shift in their health, within two weeks, just from making this shift.
Baking Soda and Water: This is one of my favorite ways to alkalize, because it’s easy and you can feel the effects right away. My parents, who were never into natural health, were able to get off their acid-reflux medication just by using this trick and trick number five (below). Mix a teaspoon on natural baking soda in a cup of water and drink it first thing in the morning.
