Hello Emily,

I am not sure if you have received a response to this question.
Milk of Magnesia can be used to lower acidity but is probably best limited to 2 gms maximum Magnesium Hydroxide per day as it can create excessive bowel movements.

It should also only be used as part of a protocol to lower body fluid acidity as measured by Saliva and Urine pH level daily.

An Alkaline food diet is always the first option and is often enough with cancer patients.

See the DCA + Antioxidant draft protocol in "Topics other than DCA"
