Dissolved carbon dioxide is how the blood maintains its proper pH. It come from metabolizing sugar and fats and is exhaled by the lungs. This is easily demonstrated by hyperventilating, which expels excessive CO2, causing the blood pH to rise outside save bounds, and can lead to blacking out, until metabolization produces enough to bring it back down. The body uses this, and sodium bicarbonate to regulate pH.

That is correct you do burp it, then the body uses the CO2 in the blood for the process of replenishing the acid in the blood by making bicarb of soda, and the result is that basically how much you burped out, you later did not breath out.

  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.

Anything Alkaline that you drink will be instantly neutralized by the HCL in your tummy. 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.
