All kinds of claims are made about cancer – both in relation to possible causes and potential cures. Such claims range from the scientifically based to the obscure, but all of them reflect our sincere wish that a cure for cancer can be found. Though it is true that some complementary treatments for cancer can be overrated, it is also the case that they can provide invaluable support for those going through the trial of cancer, and may be able to maintain wellbeing in the face of debilitating treatments such as chemotherapy. It is fair to say that chemo- and radio- therapy are the main treatments used in the Western world, and their success varies greatly depending on how widespread the cancer was at the time of first detection.
One complementary cancer treatment that we hear little about is bicarbonate of soda. This simple kitchen ingredient may have been vastly under-rated by mainstream medical opinion in its effectiveness in supporting the cancer patient. Cynics suggest that it has a great capacity to support patient wellness, but that its use has been deliberately held back by big pharmaceutical companies eager to profit from their own patented alternatives.
Aluminium-free bicarbonate of soda – yes, the very thing your mother called ‘baking soda’ – can be a great friend to cancer sufferers. It works by shifting the pH of the blood to alkaline, which counters the acidic effects of cancer. It is claimed that bicarbonate of soda has been used successfully by sufferers who turned to it as a last resort after the failure of their conventional treatment. Success is claimed in treating cancers of various types – most particularly those related to the mouth and digestive system.
It may be worth using bicarbonate of soda as a dietary supplement in addition to your conventional cancer treatment. The recommended method is to take one teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water, twice a day. Take the morning dose an hour before breakfast, and the evening dose an hour after dinner. Then, take a few minutes to stand and gently stroll around the room in order to release intestinal gases by burping.
Of course, a miracle cure for cancer is years away, and we must be careful not to invest all our hope into any complementary method. However, it makes good sense to try methods like bicarbonate of soda. They cannot do any harm, and could well bring positive wellbeing effects to help you in your fight against cancer.
