How Long Can I Take Alkalizer What Is The Dosage?

I have some powder called Alkalizer from a company called Global Harmoney in NSW, Aus. It is for pH balance as I know my body is acidic which I understand leads to many diseases. I do have breast cancer which has spread but is currently stable as I am taking Femara and having bone strengthening injections. The Alkalizer contains Magnesium Carbonate, Citric Acid, Bicarbonate of Soda and Potassium Carbonate. The dose is 1 teaspoon in a glass of water twice a day. Is this safe and how long can one take it for, please?

Internal Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,

I had searched the web site of Global Harmony. They have not mentioned the strength of the ingredients. Does the bottle carry the strength of each ingredient.
Potassium in high doses is harmful for the body as it can interfere with the electrical activity of the heart. If the ingredients are in small doses, the mixture does not do any harm except that it may produce some abdominal pain.
I shall be able to give you a better opinion if you can let know the strength of each ingredient.
Wish you good health.
