Dr. Tullio Simoncini Baking Soda Treatment
to Stop Cancer by Mark Sircus Ac., OMD
Most of us are going to be surprised to find out that there is
an oncologist in Rome Italy, Dr. Tullio Simoncini,
destroying cancer tumors with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) [1]. Sodium
bicarbonate is safe, extremely inexpensive and unstoppably effective when it
comes to cancer tissues. It's an irresistible chemical, cyanide to cancer cells
for it hits the cancer cells with a shock wave of alkalinity, which allows much
more oxygen into the cancer cells than they can tolerate. Cancer cells cannot
survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen. Sodium bicarbonate is, for all
intent and purposes, an instant killer of tumors. Full treatment takes only
days, as does another cancer treatment that heats the cancer cells with laser
generated heat. (At bottom see combining ph shift with heat.)
The extracellular (interstitial) pH (pHe) of solid tumours is significantly more
acidic compared to normal tissues [2].
Case one: A patient diagnosed with pulmonary neoplasm of the lung, underwent
treatment with sodium bicarbonate, before submitting to surgery to remove part
of the lung. Treatment consisted of sodium bicarbonate administered orally, by
aerosol, and IV. After first treatment reduction of nodules and absorption was
evident, and after 8 months was no longer visible at all. Treatments also
reduced size of the liver and results were confirmed by both X-ray and CAT scan.
Studies have shown how manipulation of tumour pH with sodium bicarbonate
enhances some forms of chemotherapy [3]. Proteins can be modified both in vivo
and in vitro by increases in acidity. In fact pH is the regulatory authority
that controls most cellular processes. The pH balance of the human bloodstream
is recognized by medical physiology texts as one of the most important
biochemical balances in all of human body chemistry. pH is the acronym for
"Potential Hydrogen". In definition, it is the degree of concentration of
hydrogen ions in a substance or solution. It is measured on a logarithmic scale
from 0 to 14. Higher numbers mean a substance is more alkaline in nature and
there is a greater potential for absorbing more hydrogen ions. Lower numbers
indicate more acidity with less potential for absorbing hydrogen ions.
Our body pH is very important because pH controls the speed of our body's
biochemical reactions. It does this by controlling the speed of enzyme activity
as well as the speed that electricity moves through our body. The higher (more
alkaline) the pH of a substance or solution, the more electrical resistance that
substance or solution holds. Therefore, electricity travels slower with higher
pH. If we say something has an acid pH, we are saying it is hot and fast.
Alkaline pH on the other hand, biochemically speaking, is slow and cool.
Cancer tissues have a much higher concentration of toxic chemicals, pesticides,
etc then do healthy tissues.
In 1973, a study conducted by the Department of Occupational Health at Hebrew
University-Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem found that when cancerous breast
tissue is compared with non-cancerous tissue from elsewhere in the same woman's
body, the concentration of toxic chemicals such as DDT and PCBs was "much
increased in the malignant tissue compared to the normal breast and adjacent
adipose tissue" [4]. This should say something to the oncologists of the world
about chemical etiologies that are going undiagnosed and untreated.
Part of any successful cancer treatment includes chelation and detoxification of
heavy metals and a host of toxic chemicals, which are all invading our bodies'
everyday. It is literally raining mercury, uranium contamination is increasing,
lead we are discovering is even more toxic than anyone ever believed and is even
in the bread that we eat, arsenic is in our chicken, the government still wants
you to get your yearly mercury flu shot, dentists of course are still using
hundreds of tons of mercury exposing patients to internalized toxic waste dumps
(mercury vapors from hell), fluoride is still put in the water and chlorine is
breathed in most showers. This just covers a small slice of the toxic disaster
that is the hallmark of life in the 21st century. But oncologists have just not
been able to understand that cancer patients are suffering from poisoning on a
massive scale with all the chemicals scientists have already established cause
cancer.
The IMVA recommends alkaline foods and sodium bicarbonate so that the pH of the
blood remains high, which in turn means that the blood is capable of carrying
more oxygen. This in turn keeps every cell in the body at peak efficiency and
helps the cell eliminate waste products. Detoxification and chelation will
proceed more easily and safely under slightly alkaline conditions. Increased
urinary pH reduces oxidative injury in the kidney so it behooves us to work
clinically with bicarbonate.
Stop
Cancer -- continued:
Patients receiving sodium bicarbonate achieved urine pHs of 6.5 as opposed to
5.6 with those receiving sodium chloride.
This alkalinization is theorized to have a protective effect against the
formation of free-radicals that may cause nephropathy [5]. Dr. Michael Metro
Body ph level changes are intense in the profundity of their biological effects.
Even genes directly experience external pH. pH differentially regulates a large
number of proteins. Increased oxidative stress, which correlates almost
exponentially with ph changes into the acidic, is especially dangerous to the
mitochondria, which suffer the greatest under oxidative duress. Epigenetics,
which may now have begun eclipsing traditional genetics, commonly describes how
factors such as diet and smoking, rather than inheritance influence how genes
behave.
The great advantage of knowing the prime cause of a disease is that it can then
be attacked logically and over a broad front. Dr. Otto Warburg
Dr. Otto Warburg, two times Nobel Prize winner, stated in his book, The
Metabolism of Tumors that the primary cause of cancer was the replacement of
oxygen in the respiratory cell chemistry by the fermentation of sugar. The
growth of cancer cells is initiated by a fermentation process, which can be
triggered only in the absence of oxygen at the cell level. What Warburg was
describing was a classic picture of acidic conditions. Just like overworked
muscle cells manufacture lactic acid by-products as waste, cancerous cells spill
lactic acid and other acidic compounds causing acid pH.
After we just saw how important sulfur is in human health and how useful a basic
chemical like sodium thiosulfate can be, we now get a crash course in the power
of sodium bicarbonate and the act of instantly turning cancer cells alkaline.
Might as well shoot a guided cruise missile at them - so effective, safe, quick
and precise is sodium bicarbonate, inexpensive as well. Just a few pennies a day
of it will keep cancer further away, keeping it at arms length from ourselves,
patients and loved ones. It is something we can use to treat our water with as
well, excellent to put in distilled or reverse osmosis water or any water for
that matter.
A true understanding of cancer is impossible without understanding why some
tissues in the body are deficient in oxygen and therefore prone to cancer.
Cancerous tissues are acidic, whereas healthy tissues are alkaline. Water (H2O)
decomposes into H+ and OH-. When a solution contains more H+ than OH- then it is
said to be acid. When it contains more OH- than H+ then it is said to be
alkaline. When oxygen enters an acid solution it can combine with H+ ions to
form water. Oxygen helps to neutralize the acid, while at the same time the acid
prevents oxygen from reaching the tissues that need it. Acidic tissues are
devoid of free oxygen. An alkaline solution is just the reverse. Two hydroxyl
ions (OH-) can combine to produce one water molecule and one oxygen atom. In
other words, an alkaline solution can provide oxygen to the tissues.
The pH scale goes from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Below 7 is acid and above
7 is alkaline. The blood, lymph and cerebral spinal fluid in the human body are
designed to be slightly alkaline at a pH of 7.4.
At a pH slightly above 7.4 cancer cells become dormant and at pH 8.5 cancer
cells will die while healthy cells will live. This has given rise to a variety
of treatments based on increasing the alkalinity of the tissues such as
vegetarian diet, the drinking of fresh fruit and vegetable juices, and dietary
supplementation with alkaline minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium,
cesium and rubidium. But nothing can compare to the
instant alkalinizing power of sodium bicarbonate for safe and effective
treatment of cancer.
Like magnesium chloride or sulfates are excellent emergency medicines, basic
chemicals, nutritional in nature, sodium bicarbonate is a nutritional medicine
meaning it cannot and will not end up controlled by CODEX. To control
bicarbonate they would have to demand mothers stop making cake with it. We might
thus identify sodium bicarbonate as an emergency medicine
for cancer with the above supporting approaches working on broader levels
to help overall physiology change to a degree where body chemistry is
unfavorable for new cancer growth.
Cancer seems to grow slowly in a highly acid environment (because the acids
cause it to partially destroy itself) and may actually grow more quickly as your
body becomes more alkaline prior to reaching the healthy pH slightly above 7.4
where the cancer becomes dormant. Therefore it is important to get pH above 7.4
quickly. Once one has achieved a pH above 7.4, it is useful to monitor saliva pH
regularly to ensure that the body remains sufficiently alkaline.
Earlier and more frequent use of sodium bicarbonate was associated with higher
early resuscitability rates and with better long-term neurological outcome.
Sodium bicarbonate is beneficial during CPR [6].
"The therapeutic treatment of bicarbonate salts can be administered orally,
through aerosol, intravenously and through catheter for direct targeting of
tumors." All of Dr. Tullio Simoncini's treatments with sodium bicarbonate are
directed as specifically as possible to the organs involved, for example,
vaginally as well as abdominally into the peritoneal space for cervical cancer,
through the hepatic artery for liver cancer in order to get the solution as
close to the affected area as possible. Sodium bicarbonate administered orally,
via aerosol or intravenously can achieve positive results in most tumors,
including the brain, while others, such as the serious ones of the bones can
remain unaffected. Dr. Simoncini, with the help of interventionist radiologists
was able to reach those areas of the body that had previously been inaccessible.
This was achieved through positioning appropriate catheters either in cavities
for peritoneum and pleura, or in arteries to reach other organs [7].
Stop Cancer -- continued:
The most effective measure to treat RT-induced mucositis in patients with head
and neck cancer is frequent oral rinsing with a sodium bicarbonate rinse, to
reduce the amount of oral microbial flora [8].
Case two: A nine-year-old child is hospitalized and diagnosed with Ewing's
Sarcoma on the right humerus. Despite several chemotherapy cycles surgery
removed the humeral bone. Growth of three tumor masses continued despite
continued efforts to stop progression. Sodium bicarbonate salts treatment were
then started administered by catheter into the right sub-clavian artery in order
to administer the salts (phleboclysis of 500 cc at five per cent) directly on
the tumoral masses.
Of the 3 masses shown by the scographic scan of May 7, 2001, whose size is
respectively:
a. 6.5 cm
b. 4.4 cm
c. 2.4 cm
After the sodium bicarbonate salts treatment only one tumor was left, with a
size of only 1.5 cm, which is most likely residual scarring, as shown by the
echography of September 10, 2001.
Sodium bicarbonate injection is also indicated in the treatment of metabolic
acidosis which may occur in severe renal disease, uncontrolled diabetes, and
circulatory insufficiency due to shock or severe dehydration, extracorporeal
circulation of blood, cardiac arrest and severe primary lactic acidosis. Sodium
bicarbonate is further indicated in the treatment of drug intoxications,
including barbiturates. Sodium carbonate has been found effective in treating
poisoning or overdose from many chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs by negating
the cardiotoxic and neurotoxic effects [9]. Sodium bicarbonate is useful in
treating neurological disorders in children.
Knowledge of sodium bicarbonate is important for parents because the rate of
childhood cancer is growing exponentially. But parents who resist the radiation
burning, cutting and the lethal chemicals are regularly hauled before the courts
only to have their children taken away from them. Oncologists are increasingly
resorting to the justice system to have children made wards of the courts who
then turn them over to medically irresponsible practitioners. It is inexcusable
separating a child from his mother and father in the middle of a medical crisis.
Adding to the stress by tormenting patients' hearts and souls has nothing to do
with safe or effective medicine. The naked truth is doctors and medical
institutions have not earned the necessary trust for this level of intervention
in people's lives. With patient safety slipping year by year [10] children are
not safe in hospitals, much less so if forced at gunpoint from their parents
embrace.
An extremely simple therapy used by physicians who treat autism is to supply a
mild antidote that neutralizes the excess acids. The most convenient product is
a nonprescription drug called AlkaSeltzer Gold™. Do not use any other kind of
AlkaSeltzer™. AlkaSeltzer Gold™ is simply a very safe product (sodium and
potassium bicarbonate) that helps to neutralize excess acids of any kind. Dr.
William Shaw on Biological Treatments for Autism and PDD
One mother wrote, "It worked so well for both of my children that the die-off
was an uneventful experience, even though they both had very high levels of
yeast." The restoring of acid/alkaline balance also relieves many allergies.
"These children also had grave disturbances in electrolyte chemistry, and tended
to be acidotic (low CO). The data that unfolded was fascinating and clearly
earmarked the acidosis and hypoxic state (low serum bicarbonate = low O2
levels). Potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, magnesium carbonate and the
like were used. Now we began to understand why so many children responded to
Buffered C (potassium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate), and
others needed a more specific buffer (in some children for example niacin was
grossly depleted and they required niacin bicarbonate)," wrote Patricia Kane.
The acid/alkaline balance is one of the most overlooked aspects of health,
though many have written much about it. In general, the
American public is heavily acid, excepting vegetarians.
Case three: A 62-year-old patient undergoes surgery in December 1998 for
endometrial adenocarcinoma, followed by successive cycles of radiotherapy and
anti-hormone therapy. Following the thickening of the peritoneum and the growth
of several lymph nodes due to carcinosis; from the clinical point of view, the
patient's condition decayed with the presence of exhaustion, general swelling,
intestinal meteorism, irregularity of evacuation, steady feeling of heaviness
and blood pressure instability. Treatment with a 5% sodium bicarbonate solution
administered alternately thru an endoperitoneal catheter and via IV showed rapid
improvement to a normal condition of health. A final CAT scan confirms the
regression of the peritoneal carcinosis and a stabilization of the size of the
lymph nodes when compared to the preceding year.
The kidneys are usually the first organs to show chemical damage upon uranium
exposure, military manuals suggest doses or infusions of sodium bicarbonate to
help alkalinize the urine if this happens. This makes the uranyl ion less
kidney-toxic and promotes excretion of the nontoxic uranium-carbonate complex.
The oral administration of sodium bicarbonate diminishes the severity of the
changes produced by uranium in the kidneys [11].
Case four: A 40-year-old patient underwent surgical intervention (left radical
mastectomy) for mammarian carcinoma seven months earlier. After three months of
chemotherapy, the patient is affected by: "diffused pulmonary and hepatic
metastasis; bone metastasis particularly to the fifth and sixth lumbar
vertebrae, with invasion and compression of the medullar channel, which is
causing extreme pain which makes the patient unresponsive to any treatment." All
pain suppressant drugs – morphine included – are totally ineffective and the
patient is totally prostrate even unable to sleep. Believing that fungal
colonies amassed in the medullar channel will respond to administration of
sodium bicarbonate salts, lumbar injections are begun.
Dr Tullio Simoncini recounts: "As I administer it by slowly injecting 50 cc of
sodium bicarbonate solution at 8.4 %, the patient tosses and with a thread of a
voice confesses to me that she has slept only two hours in the last week.
Exhausted, she whispers to me: "If only I could sleep half an hour tonight." But
the day after, she calls me on the phone and says: "I have slept all night".
After two more lumbar injections of the bicarbonate salts in the next month, the
pain disappeared completely. Magnetic Resonance imaging reports performed before
and after treatment were defined by hospital head of the radiology department as
"shocking."
Sodium bicarbonate is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. Sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda) is commonly used as an
antacid for short-term relief of stomach upset, to correct acidosis in kidney
disorders, to make the urine alkaline during bladder infections and to minimize
uric acid crystallization during gout treatment. Prescription sodium bicarbonate
products are given by injection to treat metabolic acidosis and some drug
intoxications. Sodium bicarbonate is available as a nonprescription medical as
well as a general house hold item. It is also used with other non-prescription
drugs for short-term treatment of various conditions to treat anything from
fever to moderate pain.
Sodium bicarbonate possesses the property of absorbing heavy metals, dioxins and
furans. Comparison of cancer tissue with healthy tissue from the same person
shows that the cancer tissue has a much higher concentration of toxic chemicals,
pesticides, etc.
Sodium bicarbonate neutralizes acids present in gases (in particular
hydrochloric acid, suphur dioxide, hydrofluoric acid) to form sodium salts
(sodium chloride, sodium sulphate, sodium fluoride, sodium carbonate), which are
all known as Residual Sodium Chemicals. Sodium bicarbonate can be made into a
paste salve with vinegar, it relieves burning from bug stings (particularly bee
stings), poison ivy, nettles, and sunburn. It is used as an antacid to treat
acid indigestion and heartburn. Mixed with water in a 10% solution can soften
earwax for removal.
Substituting a sodium bicarbonate solution for saline infusion prior to
administration of radiocontrast material seems to reduce the incidence of
nephropathy [12]. Dr. Thomas P. Kennedy American Medical Association
Because sodium bicarbonate has long been known and is widely used, it has many
other names including sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium bicarb, baking soda,
bread soda, cooking soda, bicarb soda, saleratus or bicarbonate of soda. It is
soluble in water. This white solid is crystalline but often appears as a fine
powder. It has a slight alkaline taste resembling that of sodium carbonate. It
is a component of the mineral natron and is found dissolved in many mineral
springs. It is also produced artificially. World wide production is on the scale
of 100,000 ton/year. Sodium bicarbonate is primarily used in cooking (baking)
where it reacts with other components to release carbon dioxide, that helps
dough "rise."
It is commonly used to increase the pH and total alkalinity of the water for
pools and spas. Sodium bicarbonate can be added as a simple solution for
restoring the pH balance of water that has a high level of chlorine. It is
sometimes used in septic tanks to control pH and bacteria.
Sodium bicarbonate-rich mineral water in conjunction with a low-salt diet may
have a beneficial effect on calcium homeostasis [13].
Distilled water is not safe, it lacks bicarbonates and minerals and yes, it is
acid forming to the body. Yet it is an excellent aid in detoxification and
chelation for its purity pulls on toxicities in the body. Part of the reason why
our body is acid is that it lacks enough bicarbonate necessary to neutralize the
acid. Whenever the water lacks the proper bicarbonates to neutralize the water
in distilled water your body basically becomes a little more acid. But we can
easily treat distilled or reverse osmosis water by adding bicarbonate and
magnesium and perhaps even some sodium thiosulfate. (The art and science of
water treatment will be covered in The Waters of Life, another IMVA publication
due out later this year. The conscious use of water favorably increases medical
outcomes, often it even determines the prognosis. You cannot separate out
hydration from pH. Dehydration would certainly push the body toward acidity.)
pH of the blood is the most important factor to determine the state of the
microorganisms in the blood.
The native chemical and physical properties of sodium bicarbonate account for
its wide range of applications, including cleaning, deodorizing, buffering, and
fire extinguishing. Sodium bicarbonate neutralizes odors chemically, rather than
masking or absorbing them. Consequently, it is used in bath salts and deodorant
body powders. Sodium bicarbonate tends to maintain a pH of 8.1 (7 is neutral)
even when acids, which lower pH, or bases, which raise pH, are added to the
solution. Its ability to tabletize makes it a good effervescent ingredient in
antacids and denture cleaning products. Sodium bicarbonate is also found in some
anti-plaque mouthwash products and toothpaste.
Sodium bicarbonate also is indicated in severe diarrhea which is often
accompanied by a significant loss of bicarbonate. Vigorous bicarbonate therapy
is required in any form of metabolic acidosis where a rapid increase in plasma
total CO2 content is crucial e.g. cardiac arrest, circulatory insufficiency due
to shock or severe dehydration , and in severe primary lactic acidosis or severe
diabetic acidosis.
Sodium Bicarbonate Injection, USP is administered by the intravenous route. In
cardiac arrest, a rapid intravenous dose of one to two 50 mL vials (44.6 to 100
mEq) may be given initially and continued at a rate of 50 mL (44.6 to 50 mEq)
every 5 to 10 minutes if necessary (as indicated by arterial pH and blood gas
monitoring) to reverse the acidosis. Caution should be observed in emergencies
where very rapid infusion of large quantities of bicarbonate is indicated.
Bicarbonate solutions are hypertonic and may produce an undesirable rise in
plasma sodium concentration in the process. of correcting the metabolic
acidosis. In cardiac arrest, however, the risks from acidosis exceed those of
hypernatremia.
In the current system, if a promising compound can't be patented, it is highly
unlikely ever to make it to market, no matter how well it performs in the
laboratory or in emergency room situations. The hormone melatonin [14] sold as
an inexpensive food supplement in the United States, has repeatedly been shown
to slow the growth of various cancers when used in conjunction with conventional
treatments. Dr. Paolo Lissoni, another Italian oncologist has written many
articles about this hormone and conducted clinical trials. But he has despaired
over the pharmaceutical industry's total lack of interest in his treatment
approach.
We need a new approach to fight cancer, one that will work safely and
effectively since the majority of us are now destined to have to suffer through
cancer at one point or another in our lives. The situation in the field of
oncology is horrendous and in the area of childhood oncology they have earned
their place in the book "The Terror of Pediatric Medicine", (which one can
download as a free e-book.)
Most people today cringe at the idea of finding a cancer then slashing, burning
and poisoning it to smithereens. Most would agree that the mainstream cancer
approach offers only marginal benefits at best, and providers push screening and
aggressive treatment in part because they have nothing else to give, and also
because it's very profitable.
If the body's cellular metabolism and pH is balanced it is susceptible to little
illness or disease.
Since 1971, when President Nixon declared war on cancer, the budget of the
National Cancer Institute has increased to $4.8 billion from half a billion and
cancer rates are still going up. For most of the past half-century, medical
treatment of invasive tumors like those of the breast and colon has relied
mainly on drugs, radiation or both, in effect carpet-bombing the DNA of cancer
cells. These highly toxic treatments do not address the root causes of cancer
and are extremely dangerous, medical approaches involving the highest risks.
The great variety of cancers must reflect a fundamental mechanism by which the
disease arises, one that has not been so clearly apparent until now.
Though allopathic medicine already uses sodium bicarbonate it will not any day
soon turn to its own arsenal of already available safe and inexpensive
medications like sodium bicarbonate or magnesium chloride.
The medical industrial complex seems unwilling to change its views on cancer so
patients will need to quietly ask their doctors for intravenous bicarbonate
without specifying it as a substance they want to use to cure their cancer. It
will be easier to find someone if one approaches with a need to treat acidic
conditions than the actual cancer. Few doctors are willing to risk their
licenses so it is better not to put them in an uncomfortable situation that they
cannot control.
The closer the pH is to 7.35 - 7.45, the higher our level of health and
well being and our ability to resist states of disease.
Sadly this does not address the need for the use of catheters which target
tumors more directly thus pushing us toward a more complete protocol that will
target cancer in a more general and comprehensive way. This needs to be done
anyway because killing the tumor with a rush of alkalinity that provokes an
oxygen rush into the cells will not prevent the condition from reoccurring.
Though we can think that acidity is a basic cause of cancer a more basic cause
is addressed when we look at what leads to the acidic conditions that are so
prevalent in our bodies today.
Sodium bicarbonate is an anti-fungin substance that is very diffusible and thus
very effective.
Dr Tullio Simoncini says, "It is useful to consider the extreme sensitivity of
fungi to saline and electrolytic solutions. These solutions, because of their
extreme capacity for diffusion, are able to reach all the myceliar biological
expressions, including the most infinitesimal ones. Salts and bicarbonates, by
making the terrain completely inorganic, eliminates the slightest organic fonts
that fungi could use for nourishment. In this context, sodium bicarbonate, which
is currently used in children's oral candidoses, appears to be a simple and
handy weapon capable of uprooting, inhibiting, or attenuating any neoplastic
formation wherever it is possible to easily apply it."
Cancer is actually a four-letter word ACID, especially lactic acid as a waste
product due to the low oxygen level and waste products of yeast and fungus.
For centuries, medicated baths have been one of the first lines of treatment for
psoriasis. Even today, with sophisticated immunosuppressive treatments
available, Dead Sea salts and spa waters are recognized to be beneficial in the
management of psoriatic patients.
To assess statistically the efficacy of sodium bicarbonate baths in psoriasis
patients, thirty-one patients with mild-moderate psoriasis were studied. Almost
all patients who used NaHCO3- reported a statistically valuable improvement.
NaHCO3- baths reduced itchiness and irritation; in general, the patients
themselves recognized a beneficial impact on their psoriasis, so much so that
they have continued to bathe in NaHCO3- even after the end of the study [15].
Sodium bicarbonate therapy is harmless, fast and effective because it is
extremely diffusible. A therapy with bicarbonate for cancer should be set up
with strong dosage, continuously, and with pauseless cycles in a destruction
work which should proceed from the beginning to the end without interruption for
at least 7-8 days. In general a mass of 2-3-4 centimetres will begin to
consistently regress from the third to the fourth day, and collapses from the
fourth to the fifth. Generally speaking, the maximum limit
of the dosage that can be administered in a session gravitates around 500 cc of
sodium bicarbonate at five per cent solution, with the possibility of
increasing or decreasing the dosage by 20 per cent in function of the body mass
of the individual to be treated and in the presence of multiple localisations
upon which to apportion a greater quantity of salts, instructs Dr Simoncini.
In the early stages of acidic pH in the body's tissues, the warning symptoms are
mild. These include such things as skin eruptions, headaches, allergies, colds,
flu and sinus problems. These symptoms are frequently treated (manipulated) with
antibiotic drugs and suppressive medications. The longer and the deeper we
become acidic the more our illness takes hold so it's best to fight acidic
conditions early on and in every presenting clinical situation.
Certainly a highly toxic drug like anti viral Tamiflu
won't do a fraction of the job sodium bicarbonate will do especially if it's
combined with magnesium chloride and iodine as well as high levels of vitamin C

medications like sodium bicarbonate or magnesium chloride. The medical
industrial complex seems unwilling to change its views on cancer so patients
will need to quietly ask their doctors for intravenous bicarbonate without
specifying it as a substance they want to use to cure their cancer. It will be
easier to find someone if one approaches with a need to treat acidic conditions
than the actual cancer. Few doctors are willing to risk their licenses so it is
better not to put them in an uncomfortable situation that they cannot control.
The closer the pH is to 7.35 - 7.45, the higher our level of health and well
being and our ability to resist states of disease.
Sadly this does not address the need for the use of catheters which target
tumors more directly thus pushing us toward a more complete protocol that will
target cancer in a more general and comprehensive way. This needs to be done
anyway because killing the tumor with a rush of alkalinity that provokes an
oxygen rush into the cells will not prevent the condition from reoccurring.
Though we can think that acidity is a basic cause of cancer a more basic cause
is addressed when we look at what leads to the acidic conditions that are so
prevalent in our bodies today. Sodium bicarbonate is an anti-fungin substance
that is very diffusible and thus very effective.
Dr Tullio Simoncini says, "It is useful to consider the extreme sensitivity of
fungi to saline and electrolytic solutions. These solutions, because of their
extreme capacity for diffusion, are able to reach all the myceliar biological
expressions, including the most infinitesimal ones. Salts and bicarbonates, by
making the "terrain" completely inorganic, eliminates the slightest organic
fonts that fungi could use for nourishment. In this context, sodium bicarbonate,
which is currently used in children's oral candidoses, appears to be a simple
and handy weapon capable of uprooting, inhibiting, or attenuating any neoplastic
formation wherever it is possible to easily apply it.
Cancer is actually a four-letter word ACID, especially lactic acid as a waste
product due to the low oxygen level and waste products of yeast and fungus.
For centuries, medicated baths have been one of the first lines of treatment for
psoriasis. Even today, with sophisticated immuno- suppressive treatments
available, Dead Sea salts and spa waters are recognized to be beneficial in the
management of psoriatic patients.
To assess statistically the efficacy of sodium bicarbonate baths in psoriasis
patients, thirty-one patients with mild-moderate psoriasis were studied. Almost
all patients who used NaHCO3- reported a statistically valuable improvement.
NaHCO3- baths reduced itchiness and irritation; in general, the patients
themselves recognized a beneficial impact on their psoriasis, so much so that
they have continued to bathe in NaHCO3- even after the end of the study [15].
Sodium bicarbonate therapy is harmless, fast and effective because it is
extremely diffusible. A therapy with bicarbonate for cancer should be set up
with strong dosage, continuously, and with pauseless cycles in a destruction
work which should proceed from the beginning to the end without interruption for
at least 7-8 days. In general a mass of 2-3-4 centimetres will begin to
consistently regress from the third to the fourth day, and collapses from the
fourth to the fifth.
Generally speaking, the maximum limit of the dosage that can be administered in
a session gravitates around 500 cc of sodium bicarbonate at five per cent
solution, with the possibility of increasing or decreasing the dosage by 20 per
cent in function of the body mass of the individual to be treated and in the
presence of multiple localisations upon which to apportion a greater quantity of
salts, instructs Dr Simoncini.
In the early stages of acidic pH in the body's tissues, the warning symptoms are
mild. These include such things as skin eruptions, headaches, allergies, colds,
flu and sinus problems. These symptoms are frequently treated (manipulated) with
antibiotic drugs and suppressive medications. The longer and the deeper we
become acidic the more our illness takes hold so it's best to fight acidic
conditions early on and in every presenting clinical situation. Certainly a
highly toxic drug like anti viral Tamiflu won't do a fraction of the job sodium
bicarbonate will do especially if it's combined with magnesium chloride and
iodine as well as high levels of vitamin C.
In late stages of acidic pH we need to turn to the most alkaline minerals to
increase our throw weight of alkalinity into cancer cells. Mass spectrographic
and isotope studies have shown that potassium, rubidium, and especially cesium
are most efficiently taken up by cancer cells. This uptake was enhanced by
Vitamins A and C as well as salts of zinc and selenium. The quantity of cesium
taken up was sufficient to raise the cell to the 8 pH range [16].
There seems little grace left in medicine and it is a disgrace that allopathic
medicine does not even use its own emergency medicines, proven heavies like
magnesium sulfate and chloride, sodium bicarbonate and iodine to anywhere near a
thousandth of a percent of their real medical potentials.
Combining pH shift with Heat
In the opening paragraph of this chapter we mentioned killing cancer cells with
lasers, with heat.
"Give me a chance to create fever and I will cure any disease." Parmenides 2000
years ago
Fever is one of the body's own defensive and healing forces, created and
sustained for the deliberate purpose of restoring health. The high temperature
speeds up metabolism, inhibits the growth of the invading virus or bacteria, and
literally burns the enemy with heat. Fever is an effective protective and
healing measure not only against colds and simple infections, but against such
serious diseases as polio and cancer.
The idea of destroying cancer with heat is certainly not new and has been widely
accepted for a very long time, but has had very limited applications because it
was finally concluded that, in order to ensure destruction of the cancerous
growth, it is necessary to reach a temperature deadly to healthy cells as well.
Many attempts have been made to bypass this problem and some methodologies have
been developed like: localized hyperthermia, laserthermia, radio-fractionated
hyperthermia and TTT. But they all have limitations and cannot complete the job,
because they cannot achieve total necrosis and, unless the entire mass of
neoplastic tissue is destroyed, the cancer will continue to grow. But:
Hyperthermia gives cancer a hard time:
1. removing accumulations of stored toxic chemicals that cause cancer
2. improving circulation so that tissues are both nourished with oxygen and
flushed of acidic metabolic wastes
3. weakening or even killing cancer cells that have a lower tolerance for heat
than healthy cells.
Thus we should easily conclude that far-infrared sauna treatments are going to
help a cancer sufferer no matter which way we slice the treatment protocol. But
for a more targeted heat to kill cancer tumors we have Dr. Antonella Carpenter
who has perfected the treatment of cancer cells with heat through her use of
lasers. She generates the death of the cells by suffocation via heat. Dr
Carpenter, a physicist with a clinic in Little Rock, says, "As long as the
entire neoplastic mass is exposed to the laser light, for the correct amount of
time, the success is complete and the results, as well as the healing stages,
are always the same." Her cancer treatment is called Light Induced Enhanced
Selective Hyperthermia, which in itself pretty much summarizes all the
characteristics of this new therapy. With this form of treatment cancer cells
reach a deadly temperature level quickly and are subject to irreversible damage
and therefore die, either immediately or within 48 hours.
In a separate chapter we will be talking about hyperthermia in another context,
that of the hot bathtub which we will learn to fill with healing substances like
sodium bicarbonate. We will be creating our own hot springs, healing pools that
will do wonders for our health. Medical treatments of the first order can be had
right inside your very own bathtub.

Following public outcry, Israel banned these chemicals from being used on feed
for dairy cows and cattle. Over the next ten years, the rate of breast cancer
deaths in Israel declined sharply, with a 30% drop in mortality for women under
44 years of age, and an 8% overall decline. At the same time, all other known
cancer risks--alcohol consumption, fat intake, lack of fruits and vegetables in
the diet--increased significantly. During this period, worldwide death rates
from cancer increased by 4%. The only answer scientists could find to explain
this was the reduced level of environmental toxins.

[7] With the aim to reach the maximum effect, sodium bicarbonate should be
administered directly on the neoplastic masses which are susceptible of
regression only by destroying the fungal colonies. This is possible by the
selective arteriography (the visualisation through instrumentation of specific
arteries) and by the positioning of the arterial port-a-cath (these devices are
small basins used to join the catheter). These methods allow the positioning of
a small catheter directly in the artery that nourishes the neoplastic mass,
allowing the administration of high dosages of sodium bicarbonate in the deepest
recesses of the organism.
With this method, it is possible to reach almost all organs; they can be treated
and can benefit from a therapy with bicarbonate salts which is harmless, fast,
and effective - with only the exception of some bone areas such as vertebrae and
ribs, where the scarce arterial irrigation does not allow sufficient dosage to
reach the targets. Selective arteriography therefore represents a very powerful
weapon against fungi that can always be used against neoplasias, firstly because
it is painless and leaves no after effects, secondly because the risks are very
low.

illicit liquors) Diphenhydramine (Benedryl), Beta blockers (propanalol)
Barbiturates, and Salicylates (Aspirin). Poisoning by drugs that block voltage-
gated sodium channels produces intraventricular conduction defects, myocardial
depression, bradycardia, and ventricular arrhythmias. Human and animal reports
suggest that hypertonic sodium bicarbonate may be effective therapy for numerous
agents possessing sodium channel blocking properties, including cocaine,
quinidine, procainamide, flecainide, mexiletine, bupivacaine, and others.
[10] Patient safety incidents in U.S. hospitals increased by three percent
overall from 2003 to 2005, and the error gap between the nation's best- and
worst-performing hospitals remained wide. America's top rated centers had 40
percent lower rates of medical errors than the poorest-performing hospitals, the
study showed. The fourth annual HealthGrades Patient Safety in American
Hospitals Study, put out by HealthGrades, an independent health care ratings
company, examined over 40 million Medicare hospitalization records at almost
5,000 hospitals from 2003 to 2005.

[14] One of the most important supplements for the breast cancer patient is high
doses of the hormone melatonin at bedtime. Melatonin blocks estrogen receptors
somewhat similarly to the drug tamoxifen without the long-term side effects of
tamoxifen. Further, when melatonin and tamoxifen are combined, synergistic
benefits occur. Melatonin can be safely taken for an indefinite period of time.
The suggested dose of melatonin for breast cancer patients is 3 mg to 50 mg at
bedtime. Caution: Although melatonin is strongly recommended for breast cancer
patients, interleukin-2 (IL-2), which often is combined with melatonin, should
be avoided by breast cancer patients. IL-2 may promote breast cancer cell
division.

[16] "A mass spectrographic analysis of cancer cells showed that the cell
membrane readily attached cesium, rubidium and potassium, and transmitted these
elements with their associated molecules into the cancer cell. In contrast
cancer membranes did not transmit sodium, magnesium, and calcium into the cell:
the amount of calcium within a cancer cell is only about 1% of that for normal
cells. Potassium transports glucose into the cell.
Calcium and magnesium transport oxygen into the cell. As a consequence of the
above, oxygen cannot enter cancer cells so the glucose which is normally burned
to carbon dioxide and water undergoes fermentation to form lactic acid within
the cell. This anaerobic condition was pointed out by Warburg, as early as 1924.
Potassium, and especially rubidium and cesium are the most basic of the
elements. When they are taken up by the cancer cells they will thus raise the pH
of the cells. Since they are very strong bases as compared to the weak lactic
acid it is possible that the pH will be raised to values in the 8.5 to 9 range.
In this range the life of the cancer cell is short, being a matter of days at
the most. The dead cancer cells are then absorbed by the body fluids and
eventually eliminated from the system." - Dr. Brewer
