Melissa,
We are discussing several related topics:
Use of sugar:
Sugar does have its uses in cancer therapy, but it is a technical
field. You have to really understand your strategy. It might be one
of including 2-deoxyglucose to thwart the cancer, or it could be one
of taking advantage of specific receptor sites in the use of various
glycosides. It is poor strategy to stake one's life on a folklore
tale such as the maple syrup legend.
Alkalinization:
This has its uses, but there is wide variation in the
strategies. There have been suspicions that sodium bicarbonate can
accelerate the growth of cancer. John Boik removed this
alkalinization strategy from his book on natural cancer therapies
when he came out with a second edition. Alkalinization of tumors can
increase the effectiveness of some chemo agents due to ion trapping
of some weakly basic chemotherapies. Similarly, acidification of
tumors can enhance the uptake of weakly acidic chemotherapies. The
acid milieu of a tumor from lactate, sialate, etc. contributes to the
regional inhibition of immune function. Many cancer patients seem to
be quite acidic in several body compartments. This acidification
might contribute to cancer growth or it might be a result of cancer
growth, or both. Experimentation with alkalinization is not foolish,
but there are better ways of doing this than choosing sodium bases.
Route of administration:
Alkaline solutions have been used for intralesional and peritumoral
injections ever since the invention of the syringe. It is not just
bicarbonates and hydroxides, but there are thousands and thousands of
things you can inject into tumors and inhibit their growth and maybe
even kill them. They can be useful, but there is a fad quality to it
too. A while back it was urea and every one was injecting 15% urea,
then it was the injecting of hydrogen peroxide. There have been fans
of intratumoral injections of ethanol, of hot saline, of
bromopyruvate, and of various sclerosing agents. It might be harder
to find injectables that don't interfere with cancer growth.
Simoncini:
Dr. Simoncini is a clinician who subscribes to cancer etiologies and
treatments that are largely passed over by the mainstream. He is
probably telling the truth about the cases in which his strategies
have succeeded. I don't think he finds it very interesting to report
the cases that he loses. We need prospective studies, not more
best-case reporting. A cancer patient needs to have a rational basis
for selecting a therapy.
