Dr. Tullio Simoncini
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).[i] 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. [ii]
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.[iii] 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."[iv]
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.[v] 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.[vi]
"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.[vii]
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.[viii]
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. [ix] 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,[x] 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.[xi]
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.[xii] 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.[xiii]
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,[xiv] 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. [xv]
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

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 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. [xv]
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. [xvi]
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.

[vii] 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.

[xiv] 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.

[xvi] "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.
