A renowned oncologist from Rome, Italy, Tullio Simoncini proposed the idea that cancer is a fungus and that sodium bicarbonate, otherwise known as baking soda (one of the most powerful anti-fungal substances) can effectively treat cancer.
Simoncini presented his idea with supporting documentation to the Italian Department of Health. His theory was ignored, and Dr. Simoncini was scorned as a doctor for having such an abstract idea and using an unproven treatment on his patients.
Dr. Simoncini strongly believed, and his patients were proof, that sodium bicarbonate treatments worked. With minimal side effects and very low risk, this treatment was quick, effective, and has worked for people with many different types of cancer. Today, Dr. Simoncini continues to advocate for the effectiveness of baking soda cancer treatment with protocols designed for specific types of cancer.
Dr. Simoncini alleges that candida overgrowth can happen in organs and elsewhere throughout the body, and when the immune system attempts to stop it, it actually creates a tumor. But the immune system can’t get rid of the tumor or the original fungus infection. Why?
According to Simoncini, tumors produce lactic acid because they feed on glucose to survive, and lactic acid is a byproduct of consuming this sugar. So the entire tumor is acidic and creates an acidic environment around it, which leads to stagnated blood flow and reduced oxygenation. The lactic acid that tumors produce keep them safe from a normal immune response which would typically kill them because lactic acid suppresses immune cells.
Some tumors can be more acidic than others, and these tumors are often more prone to metastasize in the body—these are what we would call aggressive cancers.
When a biopsy of a tumor is taken, or surgery is done to remove the tumor, the fungus can enter the bloodstream and subsequently proliferate in other parts of the body, which can produce additional cancers or metastasize.
The immune system becomes taxed from attempting to fight the fungal infection, and traditional cancer therapies such as chemotherapy can hinder the immune system even more. Eventually, the fungus manifests all over the body as the tumors grow, and the result is often a terminal diagnosis.
Sodium Bicarbonate Cancer Treatment
Conventional anti-fungal drugs available today don’t work on candida overgrowth—so why is sodium bicarb cancer treatment any different?
Fungi can quickly adapt to anti-fungal drugs to resist therapy. However, sodium bicarbonate works so quickly that fungi don’t have a chance to adapt and become immune to it. It works rapidly to penetrate and essentially dissolve the tumor.
Applying sodium bicarbonate locally—or as close to the tumor as possible—is best. Dr. Simoncini gives examples of the best route of application on his website: oral administration for cancers of the digestive tract, inhalation for cancers that manifest in the upper airways, and enemas for rectal cancer. If these preferred routes aren’t possible, sodium bicarbonate can also be administered through specific arteries or even a catheter in cases such as that of bladder cancer.
Sodium bicarb cancer therapy can also help improve the pH of tumors, as tumors are very acidic, and sodium bicarbonate is very alkaline, which may help “weaken” the tumor and make it more receptive to other therapies. It can also help reduce the ability of the tumor to metastasize.
In fact, baking soda cancer therapy may be integrated with other treatments. In one study (2017), sodium bicarbonate combined with transarterial chemoembolization yielded a 100% objective response rate, a significant improvement from the 63.6% of the controlled group.
