New This Issue

Welcome to another issue of The Health Plus Letter. This week, I'm

sharing with you an article by Dr. Mark Sircus that I believe is one

of the most important pieces of health information to cross my desk

in year. Though it's a bit technical, please read it so that you can

understand how and why keeping your body's internal pH is so

important to overall health. I'm also alerting you to the FDA's

latest attempt to curtail our health freedoms in the hope that you

will take action to prevent them from doing so. In lieu of further

articles by me this week, I've also included a lot of links to

websites and articles I think you'll find interesting.

As always, please continue to send me your comments and suggestions.

And please spread the word about The Health Plus Letter by passing

Sodium Bicarbonate: Lessons in Cancer and General pH Management by

Mark Sircus Ac., OMD, Director International Medical Veritas

Association (IMVA)

http://www.1healthyworld.com/ezine/vol5no8.cfm

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. 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.

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, ( 4.4 cm, and ©

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 on 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.

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 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 administrationof radiocontrast material seems to reduce the

incidence of nephropathy.[xii] -- Dr. 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 & #8722; reported a

statistically valuable improvement. NaHCO3 & #8722; 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 & #8722; 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, andcollapses 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 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.

[Guest guest]

This reminds me of when I was young. Back in those days we never got

anything for a cold. We would just ride it out. I seemed to get the

worse colds of anyone. Mom would take baking soda and squeeze a

lemon and have me to drink the mixture while it was fuzzing. I must

admit this mixture did bring some relief. I have a cold now and

after reading this I went into my kitch and pulled out the baking

soda. I just followed the amount to use on the box for up-set stomach

and squeezed a half of lemon. I felt better after drinking this

mixture. I was able to take some dogs I am baby sitting on a hike

around 28 acres. I feel pretty rough now and it is about time for

another dosage so I think I will give it another shot!

You can test pH at home by pH test strips that tests pH by urine or

there are types you put under your tongue. I've only seen to buy kind

you test urine but my doctor has kind you put under your tongue. When

he tests me, I always come out very alkaline but I do follow low carb

diet so perhaps that helps. I hadn't used baking soda as in article

but I had been using alot of sea salt which perhaps had a similar

affect. I remember I was surprised since I was concerned about my pH

from things I had read. I got mine over the internet. Here are some

I just found that can test saliva. Perhaps getting both types to make

sure you get same results with both urine and saliva for starter:

Thanks Barb, it looks like the PH Stixs measure up to 9.0. think KC's

article said it needed to be 8.5 so these would work.
