I have stage 4 emphysema, prognosis is very poor. The doctor started me on these meds, but they cost 3,000/month without insurance, and I don't want to be dependent on these meds anyways. I have found exercise works really well, as does a modified meat only/keto diet with fruits. What else can I do?

I'd say that you start lowering your PH levels by taking baking soda without aluminum

Oddly enough I hear alkalizing things will just make your stomach produce more acid to counter it. On the other hand Apple Cider Vinegar daily with food is said to normalize pH. Your body can even normalize pH by altering its CO2 levels through your lungs. Pretty amazing stuff.

Wow. Didn't know that about the ACV alkalizing.
As far as the Baking soda goes, if you do use it , it should be used a couple hours after a meal to not interfere with digestion and cause what you mentioned.

There are some weird things like kombucha which is supposed to be extremely acid (ph ~3). Assuming the things people say about it are true, it has an alkalising effect overall. Not in the stomach obviously but after that. Whatever it does, its good for my digestion and also tastes pretty good.
