OK cool..and that also means it's really easy and inexpensive.
But wouldn't that be Sodium Hydroxide being formed in the blood as NaCl is
being split to make more tummy acid after the soda is neutralized there?
Where does the carbon..in the blood.. come from?
NaHCO3 + HCl ....makes ya burp CO2

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.
