You wouldn't know if it was or not. The multi-trillion-dollar
medical-industrial-complex exerts tremendous control over the
media and the scientific community through ad revenues and grants
and salaries to scientists and educational instititions, etc.

There are hundreds of 'folk remedies' out there with real medicinal
value that you never hear about because they are a threat to the
profits of said medical-industrial-complex.

Here's a perfect example of the corruption of the scientific
community:

In the early 1950's the enormous animal-foods industry bought a
large number of 'scientists' and told them to tell the public
that dairy products were essential to the health of their teeth
and bones.

A real scientist, of course, would look at the real world and
conclude that milk was for babies and cow's milk was for cow's
babies.

And he would quickly discover, if he didn't know already, that
half the people in the world consumed no dairy products at
all and had healthier bones and teeth than those who did.

People have been taking it internally for its medicinal
for a very long time. And cooking with it.

google:

"bicarbonate of soda" medicine

1,520,000 hits.

Taking anything can be dangerous, depending on the dosage.

Duh

Are you ignorant, stupid, and lazy, or are you lying?
