Guest guest Posted July 5, 2002 Report Share Posted July 5, 2002 My husband suffered from acidity and was using sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in waster to handle it - almost daily. Then I got an alkaline water machine. It makes water that is electronically charged one side alkaline and one side acid. The machine was gotten for my own health, to alkaline the body etc. He tried it and drinks a glass of water a day and there is not more trouble with his acidity! The machine was expensive, but not compared to the effects of not having it. You may want to look into getting one of those if you can afford it. I got mine through my friend who stocks them and uses them himself. You can read about them on the web, and let me know if you are wanting to order one. He may be able to get you a better deal, or adivse you. I don't have his number on me at the moment, but he would not mind if you called and spoke with him.

For those of you in the US, Holland & Barrett products are attached to the US they are a sister company of Vitamin World so I assume that they use the same ingredients - on Holland & Barrett products it says made by Holland & Barrett USA for H & B UK.
