FAQ

HAS DR.SIMONCINI OTHER MEDICAL SPECIALISATIONS?

Yes, he is surgeon, specialised in oncology, diabetology and in metabolic disorders. Moreover he is also a Doctor of Philosophy.

HOW CAN WE GET IN CONTACT WITH DR. SIMONCINI?

e-mail: t.simoncini@alice.it

IS HE THE ONLY ONE WHO APPLIES THE BICARBONATE THERAPY?

More and more physicians and oncologists are now applying his therapy.

WHY IS THIS THERAPY NOT APPLIED IN REGULAR HEALTHCARE?

Regular Healthcare prefers to work only with scientifically proven medicines and therapies and is suspicious about new therapies.

WHY DID HE NOT PUBLISH IN SCIENTIFIC MAGAZINES?

He has always been ignored by official authorities, although many articles have been published in the press about his therapy. Now a series of cases in his clinic must prove that his therapy works.

IS THERE NO WAY THAT YOU COULD USE THIS EVIDENCE TO PUT PRESSURE ON THE ESTABLISHMENT TO TAKE YOUR WORK MORE SERIOUSLY?

No, because it is necessary to demonstrate one’s results with many hundreds of fully documented cases. This is not possible unless you work in a cancer clinic.

WHAT HAS DR. SIMONCINI DONE TO MAKE HIS WORK PUBLIC (BESIDES SENDING HIS WORK TO THE ITALIAN MINISTRY OF HEALTH)?

He sends his articles to many scientific magazines. He has presented to many Congresses. He has made contacts with Oncologists, Institutes, (national and international)and also with the National Cancer Institute of Bethesda. The problem is that everybody wants proofs and people only take new ideas seriously if there is evidence of clinical cases. Therefore he always makes reports of all patients who have been treated with bicarbonate, in order to collect as many well-documented cases as possible.

DOES DR. SIMONCINI COLLABORATE WITH OTHER DOCTORS?

Yes, he collaborates a lot with doctors inside and outside Italy.

ARE THE SODIUM BICARBONATE-SOLUTIONS AVAILABLE ONLY AT THE HOSPITALS?

The bottles for infusions are only available at the pharmacies. Sodium Bicarbonate powder is available in any Drugstore, supermarket or pharmacy.

IS THE THERAPY EXPENSIVE?

Absolutely not, the expenses are only a fraction of the expenses of the regular methods of treatment.

IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A PERSON TO APPLY THE THERAPY HIMSELF AT HOME?

If the cancer is limited within the organs (not infiltrated into the confined tissue) it is possible to apply the therapy oneself. Examples are: Oral cavity, oesophagus, stomach, intestine, rectum. It is also possible in the case of skin cancer like melanoma, or in case of psoriasis the supervision of a doctor is indicated. For other types of cancer the involvement of a doctor is mandatory.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO COMBINE THIS THERAPY WITH ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE THERAPY?

This depends on what kind of therapies are referred to. Generally I advise to use other alternative therapies, but not at the same time as Sodium Bicarbonate.

AND CAN IT BE COMBINED WITH TRADITIONAL THERAPIES AS CHEMO AND RADIATION TREATMENT?

Yes, it has been applied in several oncologists’ centres already.

IS THE THERAPY WITH THE BICARBONATE EFFECTIVE AGAINST ALL SORTS OF TUMOURS?

Yes almost all kinds of tumours are very treatable. In order to achieve the most detrimental effect on the tumours, the sodium bicarbonate  must be put in direct contact with the damaged tissue. It is also possible to insert special catheters (port-a-cath) into the arteries that run to the different conventional endoscope methods. Furthermore clysters, drip infusions, irrigation and infiltrations can be used at the places where the tumour has grown.

YOU SAID ALMOST SO THERE ARE ALSO TUMOURS RESPONDING NOT QUITE SO WELL TO THIS THERAPY?

The essential basis of this therapy is to bring the Sodium Bicarbonate as close as possible to the tumour. In case of bone tumours (pelvis, ribs etc etc..) this is not quite possible. So I advise the use of sodium bicarbonate associated with radio-therapy.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE LEUKAEMIA?

Leukaemia is not always due to a fungal infection, so that’s why it is difficult to cure it. Moreover leukaemia can be a reaction to a fungine mass, whose localisation is unknown. For this reason the best choice is to administer sodium bicarbonate, alone or in combination; 500 ml x 5% for 6 days on, 6 days off, for 4 cycles, 2-3 weeks break, then repeat the whole treatment.

HOW SUCCESSFUL IS THIS THERAPY?

If the fungus is sensitive to the sodium bicarbonate solutions and the tumour is smaller than 3 cm, the success rate will be around 90%. For terminal cases in which the patient is in reasonable good condition, 50%, and for terminal patients just a small percentage.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST BEFORE THE TUMOURS REGRESSES?

Approximately 30-45 days.

HOW LONG DOES THE THERAPY LAST?

A few months.

WHY IN YOUR TREATMENT'S PROTOCOL DO YOU ADVISE PATIENTS TO STOP THE IV (INTRAVENOUS)INFUSIONS FOR 6 DAYS?

Because the patients need the time to drain the sodium bicarbonate from the circulation.

ARE THERE SIDE-EFFECTS FROM THE BICARBONATE THERAPY?

Very few. Some people feel a bit thirsty and suffer from a temporary tiredness.

HAS THE BICARBONATE THE EFFECT THAT IT CAUSES THE PH TO GET INTO BALANCE?

No, the PH is not the main factor; the truth is that the Sodium bicarbonate only kills the fungus.

MAY CHILDREN ALSO FOLLOW THIS THERAPY?

Certainly, because it is quite safe, this therapy is also applicable in paediatric oncology, provided the dosage is adjusted and revised according to the weight and age of the infant, as well as the type of neoplastic formation.

WHY DO YOU HAVE SUCH STRONG CRITICISM OF REGULAR ONCOLOGY?

It is an obligatory step that does not arise from revenge, rancour or other lower emotions, but from the rational necessity to make mankind gain insight. Only clear, accurate and true messages can stimulate the awaking of the placid, conformist souls. Friendlier and more charitable wordings could indeed be used, but in that case the result would be that we would delay, for a hundred years, that which we have achieved so far. It is a thousand pities that moral obligations and spiritual motives exist, that are not easily compatible with the calm mediocrity of a work-shy existence. Those good, decent gentlemen, physicians or no physicians, who resist against vigorous and accurate language, show in fact by their attitude alone that they belong to the ‘’blessed herd’’. Of a completely different tone, however, are the standpoints of those who, from their pure and authentic inner selves, support me unconditionally, because they recognise the will in themselves to live for 100% in spite of every gag and lie.

CAN YOU TREAT SKIN TUMOURS ALSO WITH BICARBONATE?

No, therefore you have to use iodine.

IS THE THERAPY ALSO APPLICABLE TO THE KAHLER'S DISEASE?

Sodium Bicarbonate is not effective in the thoracic localizations of a leukosis (Kahler’s disease). Local infiltrations can be performed in case of strong pain

WOULD IT BE USEFUL TO PREVENT THE FUNGUS (CANDIDA) OR TO ELIMINATE THEM BY A SPECIAL DIET OR BY A PREVENTIVE BICARBONATE CURE? COULD ONE DO THIS ALSO ORALLY?

One can do everything preventively, but I advise that bicarbonate should not be taken as a preventative therapy; otherwise the fungus itself may become resistant.

COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW TO TREAT LIPOMAS?

In my opinion lipomas are like cysts caused by fungi. If they are big they are to be treated with direct injections into the lumps, otherwise around them.

IF THE CERVICAL CANCER IS CONFINED TO THE PELVIC AREA, WHAT SHOULD BE THE TREATMENT?

If the cervical cancer has gone beyond the uterus, it must be treated directly in the pelvis by locating a trans-abdominal catheter from where Sodium Bicarbonate can be administered. Moreover it should treated with a douche of Sodium Bicarbonate in the uterus.

IF CANDIDA REALLY IS THE CULPRIT, WHAT CAN ONE DO TO AVOID CANCER?

One should live a healthy lifestyle, good (biological) food, take as few medicines as possible, take exercise, and give much attention to chronicle the symptoms.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE SURGERY, RADIOTHERAPHY, LASER THERAPY AND THERMO-ABLATION?

Each physical treatment that destroys neoplastic matter, in fact, implies the simultaneous destruction of a quota of the tissues of the host. It is this cellular death that works as both bait and lifesaver for the fungin cells which manage to survive by nourishing themselves with the decomposing tissues. Radiotherapy, laser therapy, or thermo-ablation generally fail for this reason, as they leave those cellular units that are able to vigorously resume the proliferation once the treatment is over at the periphery of the treated area.

IN WHICH CASES WILL YOU CONSIDER THE USE OF SURGERY?

Although in a limited way, surgery can in some cases be very useful, especially where the dimensions of a tumor do not ensure a sufficient perfusion of saline solutions. This is the case, for example, of intestinal neoplasias that are difficult to reach with endoscopic catheters. It is the case for all testicular tumors, themselves resectable before metastatisation occurs because of their position which is located at the extreme end of the anatomical vascular and spermatic structures. Possible auto transplants with marrow “washed” in bicarbonate, tumors of excessive dimensions requiring a drastic preliminary reduction of their mass (peritoneal, pleural, skin tumors and others) can also need surgical intervention. In all cases it is wise to highlight the need always to administer sodium bicarbonate solutions, before and after the operation, as they prevent new germinations of fungi and thus the formation of metastases. I am convinced, for example, that a resection intestinal intervention for neoplasia combined with infusions of sodium bicarbonate would succeed in almost all cases, as local or remote relapses could not occur.

AND RADIOTHERAPY?

My experience has taught me that radiotherapy, whether it is used as the first treatment option, or later in the progression of the disease, very rarely brings positive lasting results. This is with the exception of some tumors – for example, in bones or lymph nodes – that can actually benefit from this treatment. In these cases, especially when there is circumscribed localization in bones, radiotherapy always turns out to be a useful and fast weapon when associated with the simultaneous administration of bicarbonates and drugs that protect bony tissue.

WHAT ABOUT CHEMOTHERAPY?

Chemotherapy, in fact, destroys everything. It is a given fact that it dramatically exhausts the cells of the marrow and of the blood, thus allowing a greater spreading of the infection. It irreversibly intoxicates the liver, thus preventing it from building new elements of defense, and it mercilessly knocks out nerve cells, thus weakening the organism’s reactive capabilities and delivering it to the invaders. This is mainly because it not clear how it affects the colonies, and because by strongly debilitating the organism such intervention makes the invasion of the mycetes faster and more ferocious.

IF SOMEBODY SUFFERS VAGINAL CANDIDOSIS, IS THERE A RISK THAT THE ILLNESS COULD DEGENERATE IN CANCER?

This risk is real.

IT IS POSSIBLE TO CURE VAGINAL CANDIDOSIS WITH YOUR THERAPY?

To uproot persistent gynaecological fungal infections one should do a douche every day with two litres of pure water (that has been boiled) containing two dissolved tablespoons of bicarbonate. This should be kept up for two months, stopping only during one’s period. Candida is very persistent and it takes a long time to kill an infection.

BREAST CANCER IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE AT THE MOMENT. IS IT MANDATORY TO PUT A PORT-A-CATH IN THE BREAST ARTERIAL OR THERE ARE OTHERS METHODS?

If the breast arterial is quite small, I prefer another method which gives very satisfactory results. Usually local perfusions with sodium bicarbonate are effective in breast cancer. If the size of the lump is less than 3 cm, it can completely shrink after a cycle of 6 injections. The treatment has to be repeated if the lumps are bigger 4-5 cm. After local treatment it is necessary to employ intravenous injection of 500 ml x 5% sodium bicarbonate, 6 days on, 6 days off, for 4 cycles.

IF CANCER IS NOT A QUESTION OF GENETICS, AS YOU CLAIM, THEN A PREVENTIVE BREAST AMPUTATION (IN THE CASE OF INCREASED RISK IN THE FAMILY) WILL BE NEEDLESS?

Precisely, completely needless.

IF A PATIENT RECOVERS COMPLETELY FROM CANCER AFTER THE THERAPHY WITH THE SODIUM BICARBONATE,IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE CANCER WILL COME BACK?

None of my recovered patients has relapsed,and there are many . If you consider that I have treated patients successfully for 20 years, we can assume that once the fungus has been destroyed by the sodium bicarbonate, it won’t come back again.

IS IT DIFFICULT TO SHOW IN A LABORATORY THAT TUMOURS DECREASE THROUGH BICARBONATE?

No, there exists a hundred tests that demonstrate this phenomenon, but in the wrong sense. One attributes bicarbonate’s an anti tumour effect because of its alkalinising qualities, but the bicarbonate is effective because it eliminates the fungus. Other products (alkalinising kinds) don’t work (or work very little) against the fungus.

CAN YOU APPLY THE BICARBONATE THERAPY IF SUFFERING OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?

There is no problem.

IS THIS TREATMENT IS ALSO POSSIBLE WITH ANIMALS?

Yes using the same treatment protocol as for the Pediatric oncology: 10 Kg /100 cc sodium bicarbonate 20 kg /150 cc sodium bicarbonate 30 Kg / 250 cc sodium bicarbonate 40 Kg / 350 cc sodium bicarbonate 50 Kg / 400 cc sodium bicarbonate 50kg and above 500cc sodium bicarbonate

IS BICARBONATE THE SAME AS COOKING SALT?

Sodium bicarbonate is not the same as sodium chloride (cooking salt). Sodium chloride has no direct effect on the fungus, as we can see quite clearly by the treatment of the oral and vaginal candidosis.

IF I DON’T GET SUPPORT OF MY GENERAL PRACTITIONER, ONCOLOGIST OR INTERNIST FOR THIS THERAPY, TO WHOM SHOULD I TURN FOR SUPPORT WHEN I WANT TO GET THIS THERAPY?

It is indeed difficult, but we have still to try and one must do everything possible in order to get the treatment.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO SAY TO MY INTERNIST TO CONVINCE HIM THAT I WANT TO FOLLOW THE BICARBONATE THERAPY?

The therapy can be done before and/or after a chemo or radiation treatment. Ask him to let you follow the therapy with the Sodium Bicarbonate according to the Dr.Simoncini protocol, depending on the type of cancer, location, size etc etc. The therapy will take approximately 8 weeks. After this period an examination should be performed. Catscan, MRI, echo etc. The results will be either supporting the therapy or not. This therapy is totally safe and cheap and can be followed also as a supplementary therapy. If the doctor will not go along with your request then ask him to respect the decision of the suffering patient.
