Oddly and most bizarrely enough I was going through my Pantry cupboard only just yesterday and happened to notice I had a nearly full packet of McKenzies Baking Soda which only contains Sodium Bicarbonate?!
I now might look in to taking a spoon full of this medicine everyday....

Always listen to the older generation. They seem to be innocent of the sh** were fed these days.

My mother in law takes bicarbonate of soda everytime she feels ill or a bit off, and guess what? cured. Swears by it, reckons everyone used to take it years ago.

Got me to take it a few times but the burp smell makes me vomit, yuk.

Also I should point out that both of the doctors mentioned are in disagreement as to why baking soda helps, and what cancer actually is.

Dr Coldwell believes that tumours are created by the body to protect itself from acidic toxins. Which does make sense since fat cells have also been known to store acids to protect the body when necessary. So by raising your ph level to neutral(7) or higher your body will stop producing tumours and the cancer cells will die. This is a very simplified explanation, so if I made any mistakes let me know.

Dr Simoncini believes cancer is caused by a fungus and that by killing the fungus you kill the cancer. He mentions that he does not know why baking soda kill the fungus, but from observation he can see that it does.

Not sure I believe any of it...

Smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer; really...
I know people in their 80's (including my Mom) who smoked most of her life, never get lung cancer.
People who have never smoked in their lives have lung cancer....oh that would be Radon gas...right?
why then do all people in the area of radon gas not have lung cancer?

They even say that eating hot dogs (containing nitrates)...causes stomach cancer, really...
how come everyone who eats hot dogs on a regular basis not have stomach cancer...but others who
don't, do get it. Yet, Nitrates are found in many food products and no one says they cause cancer.

Now melanoma, I might actually agree with since the sun does emit radiation and that indeed has been proven to alter the DNA in a way that mutates the cells, and over exposure is a risk.

And what pray tell is the cause of brain cancer, I ask...thinking of these things too much...

No, my understanding is that it is a recessed gene, folks...if you have this gene most likely your inclination to develop some form of cancer is increased compared to the GP.

Just a thought.

Quite a good thought too.

It is the death of our individual cells (apoptosis) that allows the community of cells to remain in balance.

The immortality of cells is what we call cancer. Cancer cells simply keep consuming nutrient and dividing until the balance of the body goes totally out of whack and the whole shebang dies.

Life isn't just about being alive. It's also through the processes of dying that we live (sorry if that sounds like some of those religious folks).

The world is totally weird, just hang on & enjoy the ride.

Interesting that you mention that. I just remembered Dr Coldwell saying that there is not a single cell in the human body older than 2 years, which the exception of some bones/teeth.

By cleansing your body properly, eating healthy and maintaining a neutral ph level you can pretty much wipe the slate clean after 2 years. This is all according to his claims anyway...

What do you guys think?

I just want to chime in on this. Many many years ago I was having stomach problems (ulcers) I was using prilosec, rollaids, alkaselzer, bromo selzer, ect... My doctor who was very old now deceased told me "off the books" That if I did a regimine of 1/2 teaspoon and 1/2 cup of tonic water daily for a few weeks or until symtoms clear. I am going on 47 and still enjoy taco's, spagetti, Szechuan cuisine and many other spicy foods.

coke or pepsi?

and what temp??

In the process of cell division, where DNA is replicated by splitting and re-assembling the missing bits to each part, and the one DNA strand becomes two, we can get errors. Unfortunately this process, while statistically robust, is not perfect. These coding errors can lead to either junk DNA or viable, but cancerous combinations.

DNA can also be damaged chemically or energetically, leading to invalidated coding.

This means that as we age, we accumulate damage.

A complete refresh of actual cellular matter every 2 years won't help if the "building plan" itself is being modded, potentially in damaging ways.

I don't think that the human body was ever meant to die, but the answer to the issues is far more complex and embedded than simple drinks of bicarb soda can fix.

Well based on my research the past few days raising our bodies ph level has many good effects. Even if we exclude the possibility of a cancer cure, there is still a strong case for taking baking soda on a daily basis.

I've decided to give it a try for a few weeks to see if I notice any health benefits, and I will let everyone know how it goes. My only concern is the sodium content, so if anyone has any additional advice please let me know.
