The Sodium Bicarbonate Therapy according to Tullio Simoncini (internally known also as bica) is a pseudomedical cancer therapy which must be considered as 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 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[1] and was advertised in Germany by the association Menschen gegen Krebs of former male nurse Lothar Hirneise[2] and was instructed 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 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 no registered cancer drug, and only used in intensive care to combat acidosis. Simoncini is convinced he can "heal" about 80% of all cancer cases with sodium bicarbonate.

Simoncini found his customers and patients in the internet. Journalists of Italian RAI television (transmission striscia la notizia) were able to film Simoncini with a small 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 cost 3.700 Euro.

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

Inventor Tullio Simoncini

Tullio Simoncini

Tullio Simoncini is a former Roman physician and businessman and is the president of private association Associazione italiana Fungo è Tumore (A.I.F.è.T.), (i.e. Italian association fungus and cancer). No publication of Simoncini can be found in 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 for man slaughter in one case in 2003. His brother, Angelo Simoncini, (also a physician) was also convicted of fraud. His name has been cancelled from the list of Italian accredited physicians.[3]


Simoncini "Therapy" in the Netherlands

Sylvia Trachsler (picture: netwerk.tv)

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

  8. OPROEP Ik wil graag in kontakt komen met patienten die negatieve ervaringen hebben ondervonden bij de Italiaanse (arts) Simoncini. 'VOELT U ZICH DOOR SIMONCINI MISLEID EN/OF BEDROGEN?' Uw ervaring, uw eventuele 'mis'behandeling kan van onschatbare waarde zijn voor alle andere kankerpatienten. Met name patienten die in Bilthoven tussen 4 oktober en 9 oktober 2007 behandeld zijn door Simoncini en natriumbicarbonaat-injecties hebben gekregen! MAG IK U 'IN NAAM VAN SYLVIA' VRAGEN DIT BIJ JUSTITIE TE MELDEN! Het is van groot belang dat als een tweede getuige zich meldt het Openbaar Ministerie nog beter in staat zal zijn Simoncini te vervolgen! Peter [2]
