The purpose of Tums or Rolaids isn't permanent alkalization of the tissues, it's temporary neutralization of acid in the stomach. Incidentally Altoids work just as well, if you don't have the others on hand. Actually, I was dealing with acid reflux a few years back and found that Altoids worked better than the other two.
Peppermint only, of course. I definitely would NOT use the cinnamon flavor for that purpose. Maybe the ginger flavor, if they still make those (haven't seen them in a while) since ginger is a known natural medicine for digestive problems. And since it's a tuber (root) it is also alkali. Go figure......
