"benzene in baking soda, which is on the list of ingredients,"
Ummmm there are no listed ingredients in baking soda other than baking soda which is sodium bicarbonate you do not seem to know this as of yet because you contimnue to say .
"so she suggests straight sodium bicarbonate (which incidentally can't be bought by the public!)"
I just bought sodium bicarbonate yesterday in an orange box with a hammer wielding arm emblazoned on the front. It says 100% USP with no other ingredients. If there are hidden or less than detectable traces they certaintly are not listed. If you have allegation that benzene is an "ingredient" please substantiate it and do not mislead people.
Then without providing any substantiation you repeat your unsubstantiated claim
"but anyway if benzene is something you want to ingest, go for it! I just wasn't sure if people knew it's a toxin."
Well benzene is not on the ingredients list but if it is there in trace or barely detectable amounts please I repeat show us the substantiation beyond some claim by Hulda Clark so that you buy her 4.00 baking soda. It is unethical to put labeling such as "Aluminum free" on baking soda (As Bob's Red Mill used to do) because they know people get this mixed up with baking powder which lists aluminum as an ingredient. Ignorant consumers fall for this. And Ignorant (not having right knowledge) people may fall for your unsubstantiated claims. I Am ignorant until I am shown the truth.
yes we know what benzene is, even if not we can tell by the name it is a "not good chemical' , but I thought you were spending all this time looking for substantiation and here you have further unsubstantiated and debunked your own self.
It would serve us well if you can come up with substantiation for your claim as it is a big one. We all await some REAL substantiation if you have it. Otherwise you unsubstantiated claim is just that. This is very misleading it would be better to say I do not know, I am ignorant to this, I am just parroting something I heard, Ihave no substantiation or cannot find any.
I do acknowledge that you say you are trying to help, yet We await your reply with REAL substantiation
thanks
Aye
Hulda Clark has been criticized because her claims lack scientific validity and consist of anecdotal evidence. Joseph Pizzorno, a prominent naturopathic physician, evaluated Clark's claims and found that her books mixed patients with conventionally diagnosed cancer with those whose cancer diagnosis was based solely on her use of the "Syncrometer". The patients with medically diagnosed cancer did not respond to Clark's treatment, while those she had diagnosed using the "Syncrometer" were "cured". Pizzorno concluded that Clark's treatments were ineffective and that treatments based on Clark's recommendations "pose a substantive public health danger".[14]
The Swiss Study Group for Complementary and Alternative Methods in Cancer (SCAC) issued a strong warning to cancer patients considering Clark's methods:[15]
In 1993, while Clark lived and practiced in Indiana, a former patient complained to the Indiana attorney general. An investigator for the Indiana Department of Health and a deputy attorney general visited her office incognito as part of a sting operation. Clark proceeded to test the investigator and "told him he had the HIV virus [sic], but said that he did not have cancer." She told the investigator that she could cure his HIV in 3 minutes, but that he would "get it back" unless he committed to returning for six more appointments. She then ordered blood tests from a laboratory. Upon learning of the undercover investigators' status, Clark stated that everything she had told them had been a "mistake".[13]In September 1999, Clark was found and arrested in San Diego, California, based on a fugitive warrant from Indiana. She was returned to Indiana to stand trial, where she was charged with practicing medicine without a license. The charge was later dismissed for failure of speedy trial. The judge's verdict did not address the merits of the charges but only the issue of whether the delay had compromised Clark's ability to mount a defense and her right to a speedy trial.[2]
In February 2001, Mexican authorities inspected Clark's Century Nutrition clinic and ordered it shut down, as the clinic had never registered and was operating without a license. In June 2001, the Mexican authorities announced that the clinic would be permitted to reopen, but was prohibited from offering "alternative" treatments. The clinic was also fined 160,000 pesos (about $18,000), and Clark was barred from working in Mexico, even as a consultant; however, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported in 2003 that there was evidence that Clark continued to work at the clinic.[11]
