A Spoonful of Baking Soda Helps the Antibiotics Go Down?

A Spoonful of Baking Soda Helps the Antibiotics Go Down? | American Council on Science and Health:

Sepsis is an overwhelming infection that can lead to organ failure and death. It is a big problem.
In the U.S., 1.6 million patients are affected annually, with about 250,000 dying – far greater than the deaths from breast cancer, which garner much more publicity. Moreover, sepsis requires rapid diagnosis and treatment making it a priority in our Emergency Departments. For the economically minded, it is the most expensive care we provide. 
An article in the American Chemical Society Infectious Disease suggests we have overlooked a means of treating sepsis that our body already provides, bicarbonate. It is important to note that the research involves in vitro work only.
