Baking soda cures cancer? Italian oncologist says yes

Chemotherapy. Radiation. Surgery. If you have cancer, at least one of these options is presented to you.  Dr. Tullio Simoncini, an Italian oncologist, believes there is a much more effective, less harmful and invasive--not to mention less expensive--way to combat the disease: baking soda. 

Of course, his claim has drawn much controversy. Sadly but predictably, doctors who propose such simple solutions have been shunned by the medical community. Considering the fact that cancer is a huge money maker in the health and drug industry, doctors like Simoncini pose a major threat. A simple and inexpensive treatment to such a profitable disease would be a huge blow to their wallets.

In the interview above, Simoncini shows before and after footage of colon and bronchial cancer. After only four days of Simoncini's sodium carbonate (baking soda) and water flush treatment, the tumors are nowhere to be found.

Whether all of this is true or not, I think it's worth some consideration. Simoncini proposes a simple, safe and inexpensive alternative treatment. Considering today's skyrocketing health care costs and the harmful side effects of conventional treatment, a patient has little to lose and much to gain by giving it a shot. Worst-case scenario? It won't work. Best-case scenario? Being cancer free.
