The '''Sodium Bicarbonate Cancer Therapy according to Tullio Simoncini''' (internally known also as ''bica'') is a [[Pseudomedicine|pseudomedical]] cancer therapy which must be considered one of the most ineffective and absurd methods claiming to cure cancer patients. This method is worthless for the patient and at the same time extremely expensive.

The '''Sodium Bicarbonate Cancer Therapy according to Tullio Simoncini''' (internally known also as ''bica'') is a [[Pseudomedicine|pseudomedical]] cancer therapy which must be considered one of the most ineffective and absurd methods claiming to cure cancer patients. This method is not only useless for the patient, but also very expensive.

The inventor, the former Italian physician '''Tullio Simoncini''', has been convicted as several death cases occurred after applying his "Sodium Bicarbonate Therapy", and he lost his medical license. His opinion that cancer was triggered by fungi (cancer as a mycosis) is not compatible with knowledge of modern medicine. This hypothesis lacks scientific evidence, and scientific studies showing any positive effect of this treatment are also not existent. His opinion may be compared to the opinions of Bavarian physician [[Alfons Weber]] who was convinced that cancer would originate from protozoe, and who therefore in vain treated his cancer patients with anti-malaria drugs. He also believed in the [[Historic Pleomorphism]] concept of 19th/20th century.

The sodium bicarbonate therapy according to Simoncini was met with uncritical resonance in [[NEXUS Magazine]]<ref>NEXUS Magazin&nbsp;13, October-November 2007</ref> and was advertised in Germany by the association [[Menschen gegen Krebs]] of former male nurse [[Lothar Hirneise]]<ref>Zitat: ''Dieses Seminar ist offen für alle Interessenten, jedoch besonders geeignet für Ärzte und Heilpraktiker. Dr.&nbsp;Simoncini wird dabei alle Krebsarten im Detail besprechen. Das Seminar ist strukturiert aufgebaut, so dass jeder Teilnehmer in die Praxis seiner Therapie eingeweiht wird und erfährt, wie man diese sofort umsetzen kann.''&nbsp;[http://www.dgk-buoch.de/simoncini.pdf]</ref> and was taught during a payable workshop by this association. The Simoncini Doctrine is advertised in several languages via the private website of Simoncini hosted in the Netherlands.
