This is probably going to sound like one of those phony 'email warnings' we all get. But its not.
My father was admitted into the hospital last night. His wife was out of town and decided to indulge in a very large meal. After consuming a great deal of food (and possibly a martini or two), he had indigestion. To remedy this he took a glass of baking soda and water. This home remedy concoction expanded and ruptured his stomach and burst. The force of the rupture also ruptured his spleen.
He was taken to the hospital by ambulance and had surgery. Currently, he is in the hospital in intensive care. I don't know what the prognosis is yet, but will keep you all posted.
This is a home rememdy my dad has used for years. When he as younger, occasionally it would make him throw up. He is 75 now so perhaps not as able to tolerate this treatment. There are a few rare cases of this that I have read about.
