Charles, let me turn the tables and ask you why you didn't do YOUR homework before you jumped into CureZone and with your very first post asked about issues that have been addressed and answered already?  Sheesh!

Where to start . . .

OK, let's start with the human digestive system.  When you ingest something it is digested in the stomach by digestive acids and broken down into constituent parts and then absorbed into the blood stream by individual molecules.  There is no such thing as a maple syrup and sodium bicarbonate molecule and you can no more take the combination into the blood stream and to the cancer than you can take an oreo cookie there.  Instead, the digestive system breaks down the combination into the sodium bicarbonate and the individual sugars and other components of maple syrup.

As for sodium bicarbonate, sure I think it can be useful when you can apply it directly to a tumor - such as a topical tumor, throat cancer or perhaps even cancers in the digestive tract possibly all the way to the rectum. Otherwise, you either have to inject it directly into the tumor or intravenously to have much chance of success.

If you were not a newcomer here you might know that in the years I have been here I have made several thousand posts either as myself (primarily in my own forum) or as my original ID Dquixote1217 in all the other forums.  I don't make it a habit to attack anyone (except when provoked upon occasion) and I certainly don't attack someone who is an alternative cancer figure without doing my homework.  When Simoncini burst upon the scene I thought that he and his baking soda therapy looked like hot stuff. The more I checked him out the more I found that a better description would be "steaming pile".  I hate frauds when it comes to treating cancer, and that is what I largely consider Simoncini.  Unlike what he has claimed, if he had a fraction of the success actually curing cancer as he has had promoting himself andhis book, he would be quite the wonder worker.  But he hasn't, and as far as I can determine he has lied and deceived all along the way.

First of all, Simoncini could not have earned a fortune as an oncologist because Simoncini is NOT an oncologist, He is merely an MD, if that.  He styles himself as an "MD who specializes in oncology".  Even that might be debateable since it is noteworthy to see that nowhere on his own website or anywhere else that I can find does Simoncini list his educational credentials.  Some speculate darkly about his education, given that Italy is known as a country where a "degree" can be had for the right amount of money.

Since I do not know about his educational background I will just say that I am suspicious until he is more forthcoming, and, regardless of his background, I still have little regards for the man. I know people who made the trip to Italy to see the famous Simoncini and came away having less than stellar regards for him and complained about what they most noticed was his incompetence and lack of professionalism. Here is the report one of them made on my Yahoo health group back when people were first oohing and aahing about Simoncini:

How can I say this without sounding like a naysayer?  Last summer my wife and I were in Rome where we lived for four months. It was during that time that I first read about this doctor and so I made an appointment and went to see him.  What I had read sounded plausible.  My condition is chronic lymphocytic leukemia known as CLL. 

When I went in to see Dr. Simoncini, I brought with me reports of several blood tests.  He looked these over and then took my pulse.  He may have looked at my tongue as well.  That was the extent of the examination.  He indicated that he didn't feel that I had CLL at all.  I was really quite astounded to hear this because my diagnosis was confirmed by the National Institute of Health.  I'm not saying that NIH never makes mistakes; however, the analysis of the bone marrow tests and the blood work and the lymph node analyses were used to come up with the diagnosis. 

Dr. Simoncini may be onto something here, though, when it comes to cancers that produce solid tumors such as breast, throat, and so on.  As an oncologist, however, I expected a little more than a flip response like that.

Caveat emptor.

Another person told me that Simoncini seemed more interested in talking about himself than he did in diagnosing or helping them.

Simoncini fled Italy after being charged with manslaughter in the deaths of two patients, and went to the Netherlands where he infamously treated several patients at a cancer clinic with the result that no one was cured and one patient died after Simoncini repeatedly injected sodium bicarbonate into her breast.  The diagnosis was that she died from acute alkalinosis.  Evidently, Simoncini beat a hastry retreat once again and at last report her death was also being investigated with an eye towards charges being filed.  I might give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was just another brave pioneer who was persecuted by the mainstream medical establishment but . . .

It turns out that Simoncini used fake testimonials to promote his so-called successes. One woman who claims to have been cured turned out to have never had cancer to begin with.  Another testifier for Simoncini was later identified as his mistress.  And a third, who was perhaps Simoncini's top poster girl, later complained bitterly that she had been deceived by Simoncini into believing her cancer was cured when it fact it was progressing and by the time she found out it was too late for any alternative that might have saved her life.  She died a few months ago and left two small children without their mother.

So, don't invite me and Simoncini to the same dinner party - or expect me to have anything positive to say about him.

Anyway, I hope I have answered your question.  If not, I am sorry, but I am thoroughly tired of cussing and discussing Simoncini.

Welcome to CureZone and all the best to you,

Tony
