Most of us are going to be surprised to find out that there is
an oncologist in Rome Italy, Doctor Tullio Simoncini, destroying
cancer tumors with sodium bicarbonate.[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.

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.by the treatment. 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 on 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

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.

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]

On April 2, 2007 Health Day News published, "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, a report released Monday found.
America's top rated centers had 40 percent lower rates of medical
errors than the poorest-performing hospitals, the study showed."

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, 2,000 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.

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.

[ix] These include, Benzotropines (valium) cyclic antidepressants
(amytriptayine), organophosphates, methanol (Methyl alcohol is a
cheap and potent adulterant of 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.

[x] 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.

[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.
