The body maintains a specific level of stomach acid. It does this by
splitting salt in the blood, and pumping the HCl into the stomach. So
if you take anything with an alkaline ash, such as baking soda, lye and
so forth, the stomach acid reacts with it producing salt, the acid
content drops, the body immediately produces more acid to bring it back
to normal, and produces bicarbonate of soda in the blood, resulting in
the raising of the blood pH. This is the equation NaCl + H2O + CO2 - >
HCl + NaHCO2
This of course depletes the NaCl level of the blood, but an equal amount
was formed in the stomach by the initial reaction, and passes into the
blood keeping the saline level constant. The result is that any
alkaline ash consumed WILL alkalinize the blood, indirectly.

In order to change the blood PH you have to inject it..or maybe inhale
it. Any route to bypass that tummy acid..MIGHT work.
