Re: Sodium -- good, bad or ugly in alternative cancer treatment?

January 15, 2009

Hi Jim,

That's a great question and I think you are right that with cancer it

isn't good to generally take in a lot of sodium and better to

increase potassium levels. I myself don't recommend drinking baking

soda daily in high amounts for a systemic effect against cancer

(such as for the alkalizing effect) as some do (i.e. Mark S.). I

suggest taking it orally only if you can directly contact the cancer

in the process. Otherwise you need to get it to the cancer in a high

concentration of 5% directly via injection, etc. for it to have a

significant cancer killing effect. Doing it this way, the sodium

input will be minimally negative in my opinion compared to destroying

the cancer via the relatively short term process of therapy, weeks or

months.

I'm not familiar with potassium bicarbonate but it may work just the

same and I would think this could be just as effective however you

most likely can't find it in any grocery store nor buy a box of it

for less than a dollar (do you know where to find this?). The baking

soda is so widely available it's a shame most with cancers that it

could easily get rid of never have heard of using it or don't have

any idea how. This is a great group for many topics with cancer, but

that is the primary reasons I started a group specifically

about using the sodium bicarbonate as a direct cancer therapy, to

raise awareness and refine the method.

Blessings,

Hope

It looks to me like potassium bicarbonate is best obtained through wine

making supply stores, some of which are on the web.

Apparently potassium bicarbonate is the chemical of choice for putting

out fires, and it is twice as effective as sodium bicarbonate.

My concern is only in lowering body PH, not in trying to eliminate

tumors directly, as Dr. Simoncini does in Italy with baking soda. I

have no idea how potassium bicarbonate would work for that.

Doing some surfing I saw K3CO2 (potassium bicarbonate) is actually

more effective directly on fungus and mold than sodium bicarbonate

(by breaking down the cell or spore wall) regarding horticulture. If

cancer is fungus and Dr. Simoncini is correct, maybe this would be

better than sodium bicarbonate as a treatment... Why not?

Here is an intersting clip on Potassium bicarbonate in humans:

....interestingly potassium bicarbonate also reduces nitrogen

secretion as well as magnesium excretion. The combined benefits of

potassium bicarbonate of enhancing calcium, magnesium and protein

retention, while enhancing water excretion, are metabolically

beneficial. Indeed, there is considerable evidence to suggest that

potassium bicarbonate supplementation may well help...

Hi,

I used to take Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) regularly for cancer.

However, to maintain a good mineral balance, I used 2 parts baking soda

to 1 part Potassioum Chloride, and added some lemon juice (fresh).

This is a fairly standard " recipe " that I obtained from the internet.

Potassium Chloride is readily available at Health Food stores. Many

people use it as a salt substitute, the clerk said. Reading these good

posts about bkg soda and potassium chloride make me think I should

return to drinking it again.
