When I see Italy’s cancer mortality rates the same as The United States it makes me think we as a nation aren’t doing anything special. Also when we consider one of their oconologist “silly” that’s a major discredit to him. Dr. Tullio Simoncini see’s cancer as a fungus much to the disdain to our own doctors here in the states. He seems to think…. all tumors are white in color, whereas, some are brownish colored, tan or greenish in color.
Although it is true…. that the centers of tumors are often soft and mushy, that’s because they have grown faster than it’s blood supply. Leaving dead cells in the middle and an active, growing front of malignant cells on the edges. There is no real mystery as to “why” tumors appear this way, it just sometimes the center of tumors become secondarly infected because of dead cells.
Uncommonly that infection can even include fungus which explains the tumors need for glucose. Because a cancer patient is immuno suppressed, even in tumors that are not white because they are made of fungus. They are white because that’s the color of it’s main constituents, in particular the reactive connective tissue.
Therefore most medical professionals think that Simonsilly theory that tumors are fungus just makes him silly. However, the one theory of his that doesn’t make him silly in my eyes is sodium bicarbonate or baking soda’s influence on tumors. First used on Gennaro Sangermaro (in 1983). Medical research suggest cancer is based and caused by low oxygen levels pH balance in cells or tumor hypoxia.
HOW baking …soda influences tumor oxygenation… it releases CO2 or carbon dioxide which is a dilator of blood vesssels or vasodilator. It is also crucial for release of oxygen in cells due to the Bohr Effect and this a key factor that increases the oxygen transport to cancer cells. Cancer patients breath differently than healthy people.
This overbreathing or hyper ventilating causes cancer patients to have lower CO2 levels in the arterial blood and reduced oxygen levels. Therefore oxygen therapies can be beneficial to cancer patients. The Buteyko method can help cancer patients while having tumors simply disappear. Knowing this doesn’t surprises me, because the patients that are most active usually outlast their sedentary counter parts.
