Nevada state Assemblywoman Michele Fiore (R) plans to introduce a bill she said would provide more options for cancer patients — but actually relies on what medical experts call a myth, Think Progress reported.
“If you have cancer, which I believe is a fungus, and we can put a pic line into your body and we’re flushing with, say, salt water, sodium cardonate through that line and flushing out the fungus,” Fiore said on her radio show over the weekend. “These are some procedures that are not FDA-approved in America that are very inexpensive, cost-effective.”
As Ralston Reports noted, Fiore likely meant to say “sodium bicarbonate,” commonly known as baking soda.
According to the American Cancer Society, ([url=http://www.cancer.org/treatment/treatmentsandsideeffects/complementaryandalternativemedicine/herbsvitaminsandminerals/sodium-bicarbonate]ACS[/ur l]) the argument that sodium bicarbonate can be used to flush cancer out of the body stems from “unsubstantiated treatments” by an Italian doctor, Tullio Simoncini. Simoncini’s license to practice medicine was revoked in 2003. Three years later, he was convicted of wrongful death and swindling.
“No peer-reviewed articles in medical journals were found to support the theory that cancer is caused by a fungus infection or a yeast infection. Available peer-reviewed medical journals do not support claims that sodium bicarbonate works as a cancer treatment in humans,” the ACS states on its website. “Scientists require certain kinds of evidence to support claims that a kind of germ causes a certain disease. The first requirement is that the germ should be present in all cases of the disease. Simoncini claims that all tumors contain fungi. But these fungi have not been found in tumors when biopsies are examined by methods capable of revealing fungi in infected tissue.”
The assemblywoman, who accused federal officials last year of “coming up” with the grazing fees that spurred their dispute with rancher Cliven Bundy, introduced another bill last week that would allow licensed gun owners to carry firearms on college campuses within the state, saying it would prevent “young, hot little girls on campus” from sexual assaults.

Read any cancer thread on here and you'll find people who believe this. It's unfortunately a very pervasive myth that started with an Italian, Dr. Tullio Simoncini, who wrote a book in which he claimed that all cancer is a result of the fungus Candida albicans. He was convicted of fraud about a decade ago and I believe manslaughter because a woman under his care died and he was "treating" her with injections of baking soda.
Fiore, who is also CEO of a healthcare company, told listeners to her weekly radio show on Saturday, that she will soon introduce a “terminally ill bill,” to allow more non-FDA-approved treatments for those diagnosed as having terminal illnesses.

What if the doc was spot on, and Big Pharma targeted him and framed him. Chemo is big money. What if a 79-cent box of baking soda and purified water really IS a viable alternative to poisonous chemicals piped into a sick person blood stream? I can totally see how that trend would threaten big pharma's fat wallet. Proponents might need to be discredited, silenced.
Here are a couple articles from National Institute of Health from 4-6 years ago, addressing findings related to tumor acidity, and sodium bicarbonate balancing the pH & inhibiting growth/preventing metastases. Read 'em while ya can, before they get scrubbed!
Bicarbonate increases tumor pH and inhibits spontaneous metastases.
Reduction of metastasis using a non-volatile buffer.
Investigating mechanisms of alkalinization for reducing primary breast tumor invasion.
Also, personal account of my dog's recovery overnight from a month-long crippling tumor near hip joint (vet suspected cancer) and injection of the tumor with baking soda water, if anyone is interested in hearing about it.
I have been down this rabbit hole (like a good lil conspiracy theorist, lol) and came out on the other side. It's ok if you don't believe what I believe. I won't try to make you think like me, but I didn't want to NOT say the other side of the coin.
'cause, what if?
EDIT TO ADD: Just wanted to be clear that the Vet did the injections, at my pleading after reading studies I brought to him. He said it made sense, it would 'do no harm' to try, but don't expect a miracle. He was floored.
But at least study it

That's what I fear has fallen by the wayside. They say he's wrong, that he has no peer-reviewed studies or what not. But where is the proof he is wrong?
But please know I didn't mean to come off as dismissing your words- sorry it sounded that way. I just wish I trusted the true motives of those who shape public opinion with their nay-saying and nothing to back it up. They want us to accept "It's a myth 'cause I said so." So not only are doctors not gonna offer it as another shot at surviving, they're coming out against it with such gusto that people who believe everything mainstream, will just drink their koolaide and never see it as an option for even a last ditch effort to survive.
One thing I find interesting, no one's saying the procedure itself is harmful in any way.
Here's a thought... why couldn't they do this AND traditional methods concurrently? Baking soda DOES quell fungus/yeast, and people who have traditional therapies for cancer do have fungus/yeast problems. So, hmmm...
These papers are oft-cited by proponents of the "all cancer is a fungus" myth. None of the papers have anything to do with fungus however.

I don't know if you've seen this yet, but you might be interested in this documentary that is free until the 6th. It's all about Big Pharma and the role they play in our Government, as well as Science, and Monsanto.
I use onion slices in my socks to get rid of high fevers. Slice an onion medium thickness. Place a slice on the outside of your ankle in your sock. Keep there for about an hour to two hours. Great fever reducer and yes, it has been used on myself, and I have used it on my daughter. My father used it on my sister when she had a 105 from Scarlet Fever and an Ice Bath in the ER couldn't reduce it! It's an old world Hungarian remedy my Grandmother brought over from Budapest...

Fascinating! And a new one on me. I'm gonna tell everybody I know about this. Wonder how in the world it works?
