Alex - I personally prefer to alkalize by daily intake of the WW or magnesium bicarbonate concentrate added to my drinking water as I like to keep my sodium intake in a low range -- recognizing (of course) that the body does need adequate sodium for functionality. I don't see a problem with small amounts of sodium bicarbonate intake daily, either.
That said, read through the Alkalinity post and focus also on what Barry G contributed then about Vernon's Dance with Cancer and the sodium bicarbonate use... which confirms again the importance of tissue alkalinity. Cancer and other diseases can't survive in alkaline tissue.
Many other good points were also contributed to that thread as well.
