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.

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.
