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 treatment was invented by former Italian physician '''Tullio Simoncini'''. In his home country, Tullio Simoncini was banned from his medical profession for life. In 2003, after the death of a patient whom he treated with sodium bicarbonate, he was convicted for wrongful death.  

The treatment was invented by former Italian physician '''Tullio Simoncini'''. In his home country, Tullio Simoncini was banned from his medical profession for life and convicted for fraud in three instances, for selling unproven medical treatments. In 2003, after the death of a patient whom he treated with sodium bicarbonate, he was convicted for wrongful death.  

Tullio Simoncini claims that cancer is no more than a fungus – the fungus candida albicans to be precise – and that it can be cured with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) only. To explain the fungus, Simoncini argues this is due to “excess acidity” of the body, which allows the fungus free rein.
