Vernon Johnson mixing sodium bicarbonate with molasses
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 cancer.
 

Well I am delighted every time I see anything from Vernon Johnson who managed to get his urinary pH up to 8.5 for five days and then within two weeks was back at his oncologist’s office for a test, which showed his bones being cleared of his cancer.

“Cancer tried to kill me. After a struggle or two… or three… or four… or more, I said, “No!” Or at least I was hoping for a “No.” I turned to Cesium, but ended up with Baking Soda. My goal was to change my pH quickly. I knew little or next to nothing what pH, Alkaline or Acidic meant. Happily I found out,” wrote Vernon Johnson.

Vernon is alive and well and that is all that really matters. He is a cancer survivor and did not spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to become one.
 

pH Medicine

Everyone should buy some pH strips and become familiar with the invisible pH side of their lives and they should not wait until they get cancer to do so.

The time to start treating cancer the natural way begins right now, not after one has allowed oncologists to poison them with chemo and radiation therapies and then one has to struggle against their deadly toxic effects.

Our body’s pH controls the activity of every metabolic function happening in our body. pH is behind the body’s electrical system and intracellular activity as well as the way our bodies utilize enzymes, minerals, and vitamins.

I wrote in my Sodium Bicarbonate book Rich Man’s Poor Man’s Cancer Treatment that sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is 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 medicines treating as it does the basic acid-alkaline axis of human physiology. Sodium bicarbonate is a “nothing-to-lose-everything-to-gain” treatment for cancer as well as the general acid conditions behind a host of modern diseases.

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) lives up to the image on the Arm & Hammer’s box, it is the ultimate heavy weight workhorse medicine that every healthcare professional and parent should be knowledgeable about and be using routinely.
 

Cancer cells have a lower pH than surrounding tissues.
 

Oncologists do understand that bicarbonate is necessary to protect their patients from the toxicity and harm done by highly toxic chemicals used in chemotherapy.

They also know it is of extraordinary help to patients receiving radiation treatments as it protects the kidneys and other tissues of the body from radioactive damages. So does cannabinoids.

Oral NaHCO³ selectively increased the pH of tumors and reduced the formation of spontaneous metastases in mouse models of metastatic breast cancer.

NaHCO³ therapy also reduced the rate of lymph node involvement and significantly reduced the formation of hepatic metastases. Acid pH was shown to increase the release of active cathepsin B, an important matrix-remodeling protease.

There has been work going on at the University of Arizona using bicarbonate (baking soda) as a potential treatment for cancer.

Robert J. Gillies and his colleagues have demonstrated that pre-treatment of mice with sodium bicarbonate results in the alkalinization of the area around tumors (Raghunand 2003).

This type of treatment has been found to “enhance the anti-tumor activity” of other anticancer drugs. This is very similar to the recently published research involving injecting O² directly into tumors and showing such direct administration of oxygen also facilitated the action of chemotherapy.

This year these same researchers reported that bicarbonate increases tumor pH (i.e., makes it more alkaline) and also inhibits spontaneous metastases (Robey 2009). They showed that oral sodium bicarbonate increased the pH of tumors and also reduced the formation of spontaneous metastases in mice with breast cancer. It also reduced the rate of lymph node involvement.

Utilizing sodium bicarbonate when dealing with cancer does not depend on the Simoncini theory that cancer is a fungus but it sure helps to understand how fungus infections are commonly involved with cancer. I really do not think Simoncini means that cancer is caused by a fungus. What he is really saying is that it is a fungus or it is accompanied by fungus and yeast.

It really does not matter what we believe, certain substances like sodium bicarbonate have a strong and undeniable effect on human physiology that does not depend on our belief systems.

There is nothing psychosomatic about bicarbonate; it does not qualify as a placebo and only fools refuse to recognize its importance in general medicine, pediatrics and oncology. There is also potassium bicarbonate, also used as a nutritional medicine and magnesium bicarbonate in the oceans but not available anywhere in solid crystal form.

Some of the best products have these minerals with calcium added.
 

Special Note: In 'Sodium Bicarbonate - Rich Man’s Poor Man’s Cancer Treatment,' it is stressed that baking soda should not be considered a standalone cancer treatment. It should be used in conjunction with a full protocol.

Soon I will be publishing a video book and a chapter laying out my entire protocol that I teach people how to use in my consultations. The practical hands on information is simple enough to teach in an hour and that is in great part why it offers a revolution in health and medical care.

Though one cannot teach a person about Chinese medicine without a strong commitment to learn it, one can teach a nurse in an hour or two how to use acupuncture needles, especially that Japanese type which uses insertion tubes. The needling part is astonishingly easy though understanding what one is doing is something else.

I have written many books on medicine and will soon come out with the second edition of my cancer book, which is now four years old.

In the case of my Natural Allopathic Medicine protocol lay people, without any medical training, can learn how to treat themselves. It is actually very easy to practice emergency room medicine at home using oral and transdermal means instead of injections and IVs. One can also do chemotherapy at home without an oncologist as long as its natural chemo.

Most cancer doctors only like to play with poison and I have a lot to say about that in a coming essay about “hot chemotherapy baths,” the fast rising and scientifically unproven “fad” in cancer treatments.

Healthcare practitioners and physicians will gain a new respect when they themselves know, practice and teach people what they can do for themselves at home both before they come to our offices and clinics and certainly when they leave and go back home. We need to empower people to be healthy and take part in recovering from the diseases they fall victim to.
