Baking  Soda & C-ncer (The Last Laugh)

    University of Arizona Ca-cer  Center member Dr. Mark P-gel will receive
a $2 million grant from the National  In-titutes of Health to study the
effectiveness of personalized baking soda therapy to treat breast can-er.
In other words, clinical trials on the use of oral sodium bicarbonate for 
breast
can-er treatments are about to start! [1] Obviously there are people  in the 
know
who have understood that sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), that same stuff
that can save a person's life in the emergency room in a heartbeat, is a 
primary
canc-r treatment option of the safest and most effective kind.
    Of course I feel vindicated for everything I wrote in Sodium Bicarbonate
Rich Man's Poor Man's Can-er Treatment, which still stands  as the only full
med-cal review on the subject of using simple baking soda in the practice of
medicine. When taken orally with water, especially water with high magnesium
content, and when used transdermally in me-icinal baths, sodium bicarbonate
becomes a first-line med-cinal for the treatment of ca-cer, kidney dis-ase,
diabetes, influenza and even the common cold. And importantly, it is also
a powerful buffer against radiation exposure, so everyone should be up to 
speed
on its use. Everybody's physiology is under heavy nucl-ar attack from strong
radioactive winds that are circling the northern hemisphere.
    Actually  it is no surprise that a University of Arizona researcher 
received
this grant  because there has been canc-r research going on for years there.
Dr. Robert J.  G-llies and his colleagues have already demonstrated that
pre-treatment of mice  with sodium bicarbonate results in the 
alkalinization
of the area around tumors. The same researchers reported that bicarbonate
increases tumor pH and also inhibits spontaneous metastases  in mice with
breast -ancer. [2]  It also reduces the rate of lymph node  involvement.
    I recently published about fungal infections, and breast can-er has been
found to be associated with increased frequency of mold-fermented cheese
consumption. [3] Fungi produce toxic metabolites called mycotoxins [4] that
can cause c-ncer. Aflatoxin is a mycotoxin with carc-nogenic potency that
is found in inferior peanut butter and other nut and dairy products.
Researchers in 1993 examined  human breast ca-cer tissue and found
significant carci-ogenic aflatoxin within  the canc-r tissue implicating
aflatoxin and thus fungus as a cause of breast can-er. [5]
    The pH level of our internal fluids affects every cell in our body.

        Chronic over-acidity corrodes body tissue, and if left unchecked
will interrupt all cellular activities and functions. In other words, 
over-acidity
interferes with life itself. It is at the root of ca-cer.
    Sodium  bicarbonate medi-al treatments are the time honored method to
speed up the return of the body's bicarbonate levels to normal. Sodium
bicarbonate happens  to be one of our most useful medi-ines as it treats
the basic acid-alkaline axis of human physiology.
    The pH of our tissues and body  fluids is crucial and central because it
affects and mirrors the state of our  health or our inner cleanliness. The
closer the pH is to 7.35-7.45, the higher our level of health and wellbeing.
Staying within this range dramatically increases our ability to resist
acute  illnesses like colds and flues as well as the onset of cancer and
other  diseases. Keeping our pH within a healthy range also involves
necessary  lifestyle and dietary changes that will protect us over the long
term while the use of sodium bicarbonate gives us a jump-start toward
increased alkalinity.
    The  pH scale is like a thermometer showing increases and
decreases in the acid and  alkaline content of fluids. Deviations above
or below a 7.35-7.45 pH range in the tightly  controlled blood can
signal potentially serious and dangerous symptoms or states of dise-se.
When the body can no longer effectively neutralize and  eliminate the
acids, it relocates them within the body's extra-cellular fluids and
connective tissue cells directly compromising cellular integrity.
Conversely when the body becomes too alkaline from too much
bicarbonate in the blood, metabolic alkalosis occurs, which can lead
to severe consequences if not  corrected quickly. [6]
    Jon Ba-ron presents a way of looking at pH that opens  up one of the
major benefits of alkaline water:
    Hydrogen ions tie up oxygen. That means  that the more acid a
liquid is, the less available the oxygen in it. Every cell  in our body
requires oxygen for life and to maintain optimum health. Combine
that with what we know about hydrogen ions and we see that the
more acid the  bl-od (the lower its pH), the less oxygen is available
for use by the cells.  Without going into a discussion of the chemistry
involved, just understand that it's the same mechanism involved
when acid rain kills a lake. The fish  literally suffocate to de-th
because the acid in the lake binds up all of the  available oxygen.
It's not that the oxygen has gone anywhere; it's just no longer
available.
Conversely, if you raise the pH of the lake (make it more  alkaline),
oxygenis now available and the lake comes back to life.
Incidentally, it's worth noting that ca-cer is related to an acid
environment (lack of oxygen) the higher the pH (the more oxygen
present in the cells of the  body), the harder it is for ca-cer to
thrive.
    Understanding  this is important for two reasons: (1) it reveals
one of the primary benefits  of alkaline water more available
oxygen in the system and (2) it explains why alkaline water
helps fight c-ncer.
    The ocean, the mother of all life, has an  average pH of about 8.1.

     The ideal pH for blood sits at about 7.4, slightly alkaline not acidic.

      Jon Bar-on concludes:
    If you're eating well and living cleanly, then yes,  you want to drink
water with a naturally occurring pH only slightly above  neutral.
However, if you are eating the typical Western diet, high in meat,
grains, sodas, and sug-rs that acidify the body, then you have a
different  problem. Your pH balance is now so far out of normal that
you must go beyond normal in the other direction to counter it. My
recommendation for daily  drinking water pH is about 7.5-8
depending on how acid forming your diet is.  Long-term consumption
of higher pH water should be reserved for special  circumstances.
The most famous mountain waters in the world, waters renowned
for their healing properties, are highly alkaline. I'm referring to the
waters coming down from the Himalayas, and specifically to the
waters of the Hunza Valley,  which have a  pH that runs between
9 and 11.
    One does not have to be a d-ctor to  practice pH medic-ne. Every
practitioner of the hea-ing arts and every  mother and father needs
to understand how to use sodium bicarbonate.  Bicarbonate
deficiency is a real problem that deepens with age so it really  does
pay to understand and appreciate what baking soda is all about.

  [1] Baking Soda  Might Have Potential Against Ca-cer:

    [3] One sample study is by Le, et al. (1986), in a French case-control
study of 1,010 breast can-er cases  and 1,950 controls with
nonmalignant dis-ases, found that breast canc-r was found to be
associated with increased frequency of mold fermented cheese
consumption.
    [4] G-ing, et al. (1990) found that  weddellite (calcium oxalate)
crystals are present in calcifications found in  the breast tissue of
patients with breast can-er. Calcium  oxalate crystals are formed
when calcium binds with oxalic acid. Oxalic acid is  a mycotoxin
that can be produced by a number of different fungal species. Some
fungi produce such large amounts of oxalic acid that they are used
for commercial production of chemicals.
Aspergillus niger fungal infection in human  lungs produces large
amounts of oxalic acid.
    [5] Researchers examined human DNA from a variety of tissues
and organs to identify and quantify  aflatoxin DNA-adducts. Such
adducts are considered to be proof of the  mycotoxin's presence
in a particular tissue.Their finding?
Tumor tissues had  higher aflatoxin-adduct levels than did normal
tissue from the same  individual.
