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.
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

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 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.
+++ +++ +++Continue: 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.

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.

[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.

psoriasis in the era of futuristic biologics: An old ally to be

1/February 2005
[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
