Sodium Thiosulphate
Posted by Wydo (Ventura, Ca) on 12/14/2009
I have tried every pet shop around here and an aquarium store. Most of the declorinators on the shelf do not list ingredients. The ones that do don't list sodium thiosulphate. I have found some online that say Pentahydrate or lab grade. I also found lage amounts for over $100 but nothing afordable. I could sure use some help here finding a small amount. Is the Petahydrate or lab grade ok to use? If you know where to find it please post it here. If you know here at EC please email me.

Sodium Carbonate
Posted by Alain (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) on 11/30/2009
Sodium carbonate (also known as washing soda, soda crystals or soda ash), In Canada, Arm and Hammer Washing Soda contains additives. It might not be the case in USA. Check with the company. Some health food stores may also sell washing sodas. Always check if the product contains additives. Some swimming pool products are sodium carbonate. As said before, always check for purity.

I have a question about the sodium carbonate. Do you get it at a swimming pool store, or the grocery, I think you said Arm and Hammer Washing soap or something is it a laundry detergent? And just use the regular borax detergent in the liter of water? So far just the ACV and baking soda with the H202 have started to help with general aches of muscle pains in the first couple of days just don't want to use the wrong product! Thanks, Deb
Sodium and Potassium Citrate
Posted by John (Mn, Usa) on 09/21/2009
Hi Carolyn, I was wondering why you wanted those two products, now I see it is for acid reflux. Have you checked out all the other remedies on Earth Clinic for acid reflux? They are much simpler to find, like apple cider vinegar or apples, for starters! Sorry I can't help you. I like to stick to the most natural remedies for my issues. Good luck to you.
Sodium and Potassium Citrate
Posted by Carolyn (Hobbs, Nm Usa) on 09/21/2009
Is there anyone out there taking the 1/2 t. sodium citrate and 1/2 t. potassium citrate that Ted recommends for acid reflux? If so please tell us where to find it. Ted doesn't answer my emails and I'm still looking for a place to buy it. I can only find the potassium citrate in capsule form. Please help.
Thanks,
Carolyn

Posted by Carolyn (Hobbs, Nm Usa) on 09/19/2009
Ted, would you please give us a website where to buy sodium citrate and potassium nitrate in the granulated form so we can measure the 1/4 t. of each for acid reflux. We don't want to get the wrong stuff and start taking it. Most of the products I find are capsules. I don't know the equivelant of capsules when compared to t. measurements. We need help Ted. Thanks, Carolyn

It's been mentioned about using electricity to zap ordinary water in order to energize it or add negative ions. I tried this with a 9 volt battery but it didn't help very much. Ted mentioned he uses a 50,000 volt zapper on his water. What type of product would this be so I can get one myself? Please email me, if you have any suggestion. Thank you very much!

After many weeks of trying to hunt down Sodium Carbonate from local stores, I found the beer and wine making supply store to carry "Soda Ash" which is the same thing and costs very little.
Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) can be found at local stores but you can also find a natural or organic one in some better markets for a little more money. Not sure how much less chemicals and/or metals is in the latter but I can tell you it tastes much better and disolves easily compared to the most common household baking soda.
Calcium Disodium EDTA
Posted by Ted (Bangkok, Thailand) on 05/17/2009
Dear Ed:
Most suppliers here in Thailand do not sell calcium EDTA. They sell only disodium EDTA. To make calcium EDTA, I get disodium EDTA and mixed with calcium carbonate to get calcium EDTA, and magnesium carbonate with disodium EDTA to get magnesium EDTA. A local supplier here sells Magnesium EDTA.

I feel I need to reply to my first post and mention that this company sells three different grades of Sodium Carbonate. Also another way to get 100% Sodium Carbonate is from Arm & Hammer All Natural Super Washing Soda. You can verify the ingredient for this product at www.thelaundrybasket.com

Question on Ted's Common Remedy:
I see this remedy prescribed all the time, but can someone tell me how one goes about getting these three things? What are they exactly, and where would one find it? Thanks.
"The remedy is 1/4 teaspoon of sodium carbonate plus 1/4 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate plus 1/8 teaspoon of potassium bicarbonate (or potassium citrate."

Sodium Carbonate

I want to try the carbicarb remedy for eczema also, and went to W..M..t today and found the Arm & Hammer washing soda. it MUST have fragrance in it. I went online and found the same info as you. It says the brand that we've both purchased contains 86% sodium carbonate and 15% water. It didn't say anything about fragrance, but it clearly has one. Hmm.. I wish someone would reply to your question because I'm anxious to try it. I've done some research on the carbicarb remedy in general, and it seems safe to take. better than using just sodium bicarbonate. Due to the fragrance though in the Washing Soda, I'm wary to take it. I checked the cautions for the Washing Soda "Warnings: May be harmful if swallowed. May irritate eyes. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact is made, flush with water. If swallowed, give water or milk. Contact a physician. Keep out of reach of children." Also "Ingestion: Slightly toxic. Ingestion may cause abdominal discomfort and irritation of the oral and alimentary mucosa. Ingestion may also present a potential aspiration hazard. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None given". Here's the link.

Sodium Carbonate
Posted by Alain (Ottawa, Canada) on 06/12/2008
First: Great Site-Really great Site, there may be still some hopes for the human race after all.
I live in Ottawa and I am trying to find Sodium Carbonate (a.k.a washing soda). I found two products at Wal...t, but ...
The first one is Arm & Hammer SoClean Super Washing Soda (UPC_CODE:6533300330). The box did not list any ingredients. So I emailed the company in both Canada and USA in order to know if it was 100% pure Sodium Carbonate. The US company replied the next day (no answer yet from the Canadian Company). Here is an excerpt from the answer:"This product is made from 100% Sodium Carbonate. However, the Canadian formulation has a fragrance added." Well ... we sure do not have the same understanding of 100%. I hoped it may help others to know.
My question: I don't think it is safe to use that product in the carbicarb formula? or is it? Anyone has an opinion?
The second product is a pool product called pH up (a kind of Wal...t noname product) which only says that "this product contains sodium carbonate", That's all there is as far as ingredients are concerned. I noticed that it, however, does not say "contains only sodium bicarbonate". Well, it does not say "contains only sodium carbonate". But my guess is, because it is for swimming pools, there is no need to add other garbage and therefore is probably "cleaner" than the "SoClean" product. Am I right? Anybody with an opinion?
So, my third question is: Does any of EC Canadian readers know how to obtain 100% pure Sodium Carbonate? I do not mind if it is only available online.
Again EC your a great site.
PS:One suggestion. I think it would be great if, beside an item in a list of remedies, you would indicate the yeas count, so it would make it easy to find the most popular remedy for a particular ailment.
Borax
Posted by Jo Ana (Tucson, AZ) on 06/06/2008
I just checked on the Mountain Herb website and the end of the detailed description of their borax product is that it should NOT be consumed for any reason. Their product is used for cosmetic purposes so it's much purer than commerical borax. A rep from Mountain Herbs is checking now to make sure that there is no aluminum in their baking soda and will get back to me. I will update Earthclinic.
