Heartburn Baking Powder
Does baking powder/soda mixed with water work for heartburn?
If so how much should I use? Milk isn't working and I've no Rennies or any other antacids in the house and I'm in quite a lot of discomfort 
If anyone has any other home remedies for heartburn that actually work, they would be very much appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
Use baking SODA (sodium bicarbonate) - I don't know if baking powder has the same effect since the chemical composition may be different (?). Sodium bicarbonate is a base which will neutralize the acid released by the stomach. Just follow the directions on the box although I do it my way: that is, swallowing about 1/2 tablespoon of soda and chasing it with water. Mmmmmm...I just love the impending burp! (lol...)
It helps tremendously to sit up. If you must lay down, prop yourself up in a 45 degree angle. That prevents the acid from traveling up your esophagus which is the source of the pain.
Of course it is recommended NOT to over-use sodium bicarbonate because too much will change your body chemistry too much (you don't want to offset your body's acid/base balance). Also, be careful using baking soda when you have over-stuffed yourself. You WILL burp, so you've gotta have enough space inside for this pleasant explosion - lol...
Not sure of other rememdies...good luck, my friend!

Note: vinegar is an acid too. I don't know if you'd want to add MORE acid - ??
Pepcid does wonders if you don't mind over-the-counter remedies...
Toxic Heavy Metal - Aluminum
Toxic Heavy Metal: Aluminum
Aluminum
Although aluminum is not a heavy metal, it is available in consumer products and household items. Studies suggest that aluminum might have a possible connectionwith developing Alzheimer's disease. Aluminum toxicity affects the central nervous system, kidney, and digestive system.
Aluminum exposure: aluminum foil, aluminum cookware, antacids, antiperspirants, aspirin, astringents, auto exhaust, baking powders, beef – commercially raised, cans, ceramics, cheese – commercial, buffered aspirin, canned foods, city water supplies, cookware and utensils, cosmetics, dialysis patients, dust, feed – animal, flour – bleached, fireworks, foil, food additives, lipstick, milk products, nasal spray, ore smelting plants, processed cheeses, salt, tobacco smoke, water, and vanilla powder. Workers in refineries, foundries, welders, grinders, automobile and aircraft industries.
Aluminum toxicity symptoms and disorders: Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, anemia, behavioral problems, bone brittleness or osteoporosis, conjunctivitis, constipation, dementia and other neurological brain disorders, cavities, colds, colitis, eczema or dry skin, flatulence, headaches, heartburn, hemolysis, kidney dysfunction, leg twitching, leukocytosis, liver dysfunction, memory loss, muscles – weak and aching, neurotoxicity, numbness, osteomalacia, paralysis, Parkinson's disease, perspiration – excessive, pneumoconiosis, porphyria, senility, spleen pain, stomach pain, upper airway irritation.
Metals accumulate in the human body through air, water, food, soil and skin absorption. Heavy metal contamination is an extremely serious problem. Over time these heavy metals continue to slowly accumulate and the body's immune system can only withstand so much saturation by external toxins over time. Toxins must be eliminated faster then they enter the body, otherwise the buildup can eventually reach toxic and dangerous levels.
Metals are common in our environment and diet and some are actually necessary for good health, but large amounts of any of them may cause acute or chronic toxicity. In small quantities, certain heavy metals are nutritionally essential for a healthy life, including trace elements; iron, copper, manganese, and zinc. These elements are commonly found naturally in fruits and vegetables or supplements.
