Revision as of 09:13, 4 September 2010

The Sodium Bicarbonate Cancer Therapy according to Tullio Simoncini (internally known also as bica) is a 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 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.

Simoncini's theories are not compatible with knowledge of modern medicine. There is no scientific evidence to underpin his hypothesis, and scientific studies showing any positive effect of the treatment are also non-existent. His opinion may be compared to the opinions of Bavarian physician Alfons Weber, who was convinced that cancer originates from protozoe, and consequently treated his cancer patients with anti-malaria drugs - to no effect. 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[1]. It was advertised in Germany by the association Menschen gegen Krebs of former nurse Lothar Hirneise[2] 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.

Method

Simoncini is wrongly convinced that each and every cancer is caused by the fungus candida albicans. He therefore views cancer as an infectious disease (mycosis). But instead of using effective anti-mycotic drugs, Simoncini recommends and uses sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate can be found in many households as baking powder and is a cheap substance. Sodium bicarbonate is not a registered cancer drug, and is only used in intensive care to combat acidosis. Simoncini is convinced he can "heal" about 80% of all cancer cases with sodium bicarbonate.

Simoncini finds his customers and patients through the internet. Journalists of Italian RAI television (transmission striscia la notizia) were able to film Simoncini with a hidden camera, showing how he treated cancer patients with sodium bicarbonate without adding the Italian VAT tax. A sodium bicarbonate therapy amounted to 7.750 Euro, and a room in his private clinic costs 3.700 Euro.

His method was also popular in the Netherlands, where he had fled after his conviction in Italy.

Inventor Tullio Simoncini

Tullio Simoncini

Tullio Simoncini is a disbarred Roman physician and businessman and president of a private association Associazione italiana Fungo è Tumore (A.I.F.è.T.), (i.e. Italian Association Fungus and Cancer). No publication of Simoncini's can be found in any scientific databases until today (2010).

After several deaths occurred after a sodium bicarbonate therapy, Simoncini was sued by families of the victims. He lost his medical approbation and was convicted of fraud in three cases and of wrongful death in one case in 2003. His brother, Angelo Simoncini, (also a physician) was convicted of fraud, too. His name has been cancelled as well from the list of Italian accredited physicians.[3]

October 2007, female breast cancer patient Sylvia Trachsler[4] died at the age of 58 in the Netherlands, (on October 8, 2007), after having received daily sodium bicarbonate infusions in an alternative clinic, the Kliniek voor Preventieve Geneeskunde Berg en Bosch (KPG) in Bilthoven.[5][6][7] Her friend Peter (Peter M.) started a search for other patients who had been treated according to the Simoncini protocol.[8] The exact cause of her "not natural" death could not be identified. Sylvia died of heart failure. The Dutch health authorities intervened and banned this therapy.[9]
