First you want to increase pH, not decrease it. Lower pH is more acid.
What increases the pH is the amount of sodium, period. Mixing with
lemon juice has no effect on the final outcome. What it does though is
prevent the imbalance of the stomach acid by the highly basic (alkaline)
bicarbonate of soda. If you continually drop the acid, the stomach
makes more to balance, and over time can lead to an overproduction of
acid. Also sodium citrate tastes much better than bicarb.

Marshall,
So, are you saying that taking BS by itself does not lowers PH of
blood but BS with Lemon Juice does?
or, that BS & Lemon juice lower PH more than BS by itself?

Simple. Baking soda is an inorganic base, and lemon juice is acid
fromcitric acid an organic acid. When they react with each other
you getsodium citrate, water and carbon dioxide. Sodium citrate is
a salt,and when it gets to the stomach become sodium chloride, or
common saltand citric acid. The citric acid which is made up of
hydrogen, oxygen,and carbon gets digested and becomes neutral (the
carbon in the endbecomes carbon dioxide, which is breathed out).
Since the amount ofhydrochloric acid in the stomach has been
reduced, this has an overallalkalizing effect on the body.
Basically an inorganic base or acid willaffecct the body's pH, but
an organic one will not, since the organicwill be nothing more
than hydrogen, oxygen and carbon in variousproportions, that
breaks down to water, and carbon dioxide which isbreathed out. Now
there are some inorganic bases which also do notaffect the ph,
such as ammonia, as the nitrogen gets released upondigestion,
leaving nothing but water.If a base has a alkali metal in it, then
it will alkalize the body, ifit does not, it won't. Thus anything
made with lithium, sodium,potassium and calcium will alkalize. On
the acid side anything withsulfur (sulfate), chlorine or
phosphorous (phosphate) will acidify.Those that don't have these
will end up doing nothing, such as ammonium,nitrate, carbonate,
citrate, acetate.If you have one of each, they cancel, you have a
salt which doesnothing, such as sodium chloride.
