Dr. Mercola's Comments:
Cancer, which surpassed heart disease as the number one killer in
America in 2005, is still considered “a mystery” in conventional
medicine. In fact, the term “cancer” is just a generic term that in no
way describes its cause.

In this video, Doug Kaufman – a longtime proponent of the influence of
fungi in human disease -- interviews the Italian oncologist Dr. Tullio
Simoncini -- author of Cancer is a Fungus -- who shares fascinating
new information about what he believes is the root of all cancers:
fungi, and discusses a radically different path for curing cancer;
sometimes in as little as a few days.

Conventional Cancer Treatments – Ineffective and Dangerous “Cures”

Currently, if you are diagnosed with cancer, especially in the U.S.,
you are given three options:

Surgery
Chemotherapy
Radiation
However, as mentioned in this video, finding actual statistics on the
effectiveness of these treatments is very difficult. You’d think if
something is the best medicine has to offer, they’d be more than happy
to share their level of success.

Most people are given a 50/50 chance of dying from cancer, in general.
And conventional treatments are touted as your best shot at
surviving.

But is it true?

According to Dr. Simoncini’s website, polls and questionnaires show
that a full 75 percent of doctors say they’d refuse chemotherapy if
they were struck with cancer due to its ineffectiveness and its
devastating side effects.

Many doctors have spoken out about it, yet their voices are still
ignored. For example, Dr. Allen Levin, MD, author of The Healing of
Cancer, has said, “The majority of the cancer patients in this country
die because of chemotherapy, which does not cure breast, colon or lung
cancer. This has been documented for over a decade and nevertheless
doctors still utilize chemotherapy to fight these tumors.”

Professor Gorge Mathe similarly stated, “If I were to contract cancer,
I would never turn to a certain standard for the therapy of this
disease. Cancer patients who stay away from these centers have some
chance to make it.”

So, how effective is chemotherapy?

There is at least one study that I know of that addresses this very
question. Published in the journal Clinical Oncology in December 2004,
the results of this study were astounding, showing that chemotherapy
has an average 5-year survival success rate of just over 2 percent for
all cancers!

In the U.S., chemo was most successful in treating testicular cancer
and Hodgkin’s disease, where its success rate fell just below 38
percent and slightly over 40 percent respectively.

Still well below the 50/50 mark…

A review of chemo on 5-year survival rates in Australia garnered
almost identical results, with a 2.3 percent success rate, compared to
the U.S. 2.1 percent rate of success.

And yet this is the best that conventional medicine has up its sleeve
for treating this widespread killer.

What Causes Cancer?

Conventional medicine likes to focus on the impact of genetics as a
causative agent in developing cancer, despite the fact that research
indicates that genetics is not the main cause of this widespread
phenomenon, even though it may play a small role in some people.
Unfortunately, little attention is paid to the impact of plain and
simple infections.

Dr. Simoncini’s research has led him to believe that something as
simple as a fungus, Candida, is the leading cause of cancer; that
cancer itself is in fact a fungus. What we refer to as a tumor, is
nothing more than your body’s attempt at protecting itself from that
fungus.

He brings up an analogy between psoriasis – an “incurable” disease of
the skin that many treat as a fungus – and tumors, which are also an
“incurable” disease of your body. Several studies have linked the
presence of Candida with cancer, showing that anywhere between 79 to
97 percent of all cancer patients also have Candida.

Dr. Simoncini’s explanation for how this phenomenon works – how
Candida leads to deadly cancer – is that it’s a consequence of the
weakening and exhaustion of your organs, and eventually your entire
body, in the following stages:

Candida roots itself in your deep connective tissue in various organs
As a result, this evokes an organic defensive reaction as the
connective tissue of your invaded organ attempts to encyst the fungin
colonies through cellular hyper-production, which results in the
formation of tumors
Growths continue as the fungi spreads, both in your surrounding
tissue, and remotely (aka “metastatis”). It is still always the same
Candida attacking different tissues, but due to its highly adaptive
qualities it is able to mutate to adapt itself to whatever environment
it finds itself in, hence the various types of tumors
Your body becomes progressively more exhausted, which allows the fungi
to spread and take over more rapidly
You die from “cancer”
If Cancer is a Fungus, Then What is the Cure?

In the video, Dr. Simoncini shows actual before-and-after footage of
both bronchial cancer and colon cancer. Four days after his
revolutionary and mind-blowingly simple treatment for bronchial cancer
with a sodium bicarbonate and water flush, the tumors are gone…

Sodium bicarbonate, a.k.a baking soda, is the most potent anti-fungal
substance there is. The problem with anti-fungal drugs, however, is
that fungi are extremely adaptive, and can adapt to a new environment
in three to four days. This renders anti-fungal drugs largely
ineffective. The fungi do not adapt to the baking soda, but it is far
more difficult to use as it needs to be injected directly into the
tumor; swallowing the baking soda would not work at all.

Candida yeast is not “one shared element,” so to speak, but rather
“social elements,” or colonies, that are highly communicative.

Because of their unique adaptation skills, sodium bicarbonate must be
administered directly onto the tumor, and in so doing changing its ph
very quickly, from acid to alkaline, which quickly and effectively
kills off the yeast before it has time to adapt.

For example, Dr. Simoncini’s experience has shown that 99 percent of
breast- and bladder cancer can heal in just six days, entirely without
the use of surgery, chemo or radiation, using just a local
infiltration device (such as a catheter) to deliver the sodium
bicarbonate directly to the infected site in your breast tissue or
bladder.

Why the Baking Soda Cancer Cure is Not Available Everywhere

Unfortunately, Dr. Simoncini is yet another brilliant doctor who has
been ousted from the medical community due to his revolutionary simple
ideas of how to cure profit-making diseases.

So many people refuse to believe that this is true and that it’s
happening to good doctors, since “everyone knows” you must be a
liability to human life if you’re stripped of your medical license.

But the reason why Dr. Simoncini was kicked out is because as an
oncologist – a cancer specialist -- he refused to use conventional
cancer treatment methods, choosing instead to administer sodium
bicarbonate, which is HARMLESS, as opposed to the often lethal use of
chemotherapy.

His lawyers have recently started a rehabilitation court trial at the
International Court of Justice in Strassburg to have him reinstated.

Preventive Measures – Combating Candida

If the cause of cancer is the Candida fungus, then what is the root
cause of the fungi? And how can you tell you might have too much yeast
in your body, which might eventually lead to the formation of cancer?

A good sign that Candida is on the loose is feeling “run down” and
developing a craving for sugars and carbohydrates, as this is the main
fuel for the growing amounts of yeast in your intestine. The more
sugar and grains you eat, the more the yeast grows out of control.
Eventually, this will weaken your immune system, which in turn can
allow it to infiltrate various other organs.

This imbalance in intestinal flora, sometimes called dysbiosis, can
also lead to other more common, and less lethal, health problems, such
as:

Vaginitis
Irritable bowel syndrome
Weight gain
Food allergies
Migraines
Asthma
Depression
Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia
There are 79 different toxins released by the metabolism and die-off
of Candida. This is why people with yeast overgrowth often feel so
lousy; the Candida toxins are regularly entering their bloodstream.
Two of these toxins, alcohol and acetaldehyde (the breakdown product
of alcohol that causes hangovers), are in such high amounts in people
with chronic yeast problems that you may actually end up feeling
“drunk.”

Acetaldehyde also reacts with the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is
why people with yeast overgrowth often experience mental and emotional
disturbances such as anxiety, depression, poor concentration, and
feeling spaced-out.

How to Cure a Yeast Overgrowth

For more on Candida and holistic treatment options, I recommend you
review my previous article, Holistic Treatment for Candida Infection.
The highlights of the treatments for yeast overgrowth include:

The Right Diet and Exercise -- A diet rich in meats, chicken, eggs,
seeds and nuts, vegetables, and healthy oils (free range and organic)
-- while avoiding sugars and carbohydrate-rich foods -- will restrict
the amount of fuel the yeast in your intestine has available to it. I
would add to this to make your diet in tune with your nutritional
type. Once you’ve started on the diet, exercising will begin to
rebalance the levels of neurotransmitters in your brain and improve
your mood. One of the elements of diet that does seem counter
intuitive is the absolute restriction of even fruits when one is
seeking to eliminate yeast, as even the tiniest amounts of sugar seem
to worsen this condition.
Getting Plenty of Good Bacteria -- You will want to increase your
probiotic (good bacteria) intake with a high-quality probiotic
supplement or by eating cultured and fermented foods, such as natto.
These contain the good bacteria that keep your vagina and
gastrointestinal tract healthy and will ultimately replace the
Candida.
Avoiding Exposure to Chemicals -- Paints, household cleaners, perfumes
and scents may cause allergic reactions, and chemical sensitivities
are very common in people with yeast overgrowth.
Addressing Emotional and Psychological Issues -- Food cravings,
especially those for sweets, often are exacerbated by emotional
dependencies. Tools like the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) can
help you to overcome unhealthy food cravings and other emotional
hurdles.
