Re: bicarb soda
The results (reduced candida and tumor size) are not debatable unless you want to debate the doctor who performed the tests on live patients. He was, at times, however, injecting the bicarb directly into the tumors. Not always though. He concluded that tumors cannot live in an alkaline medium.
He also has concluded that candida is the same organism as a tumor, and vice versa. That is debatable (of course), but he is convinced of that after studying how each of the two replicate in very similar ways.
Anyway, the point wasn't that people end up healthy after using bicarb to stop cancer. Of course they are not healthy. But they are free from cancer, and of his patients, the terminal ones became "productive" people again and lived many more years. It's not an ideal solution, but it sounds a lot better than the cut/burn/drug routine that ends up poisoning people to death.
As far as stomach acid goes, and people do complain about low HCL, so how could bicarb be any good, I go back to Bernard Jensen. He said that the stomach often fails to produce HCL because it lacks food sodium in its lining. This seems counter intuitive, no? But he taught that, and I think that bicarb has a similar effect and will certainly decrease the OTHER acids in the stomach that should not be there. It might also provide some type of sodium (not complexed, not ideal, I understand) for the lining of the stomach to produce HCL.
A test I would recommend is to drink a glass of water with bicarb (maybe a level tsp) on an empty stomach and see if this produces hunger and gurgling in the stomach. I've seen it many times. The effect is counter intuitive but don't let that fool you.
