Halt Infectious Disease, Cancer and Much More with a Natural $3 Remedy

Baking soda (or sodium bicarbonate) is an extraordinary natural remedy. This economical and common powder has a wide range of healing possibilities: acne, cancer, colds, influenza, acid reflux — the list goes on and on. And don’t forget about all its great uses around the house as well. Priced around $3 for a large box, baking soda just might be that readily available and cost effective miracle we’ve been looking for.

The connection between fungus and cancer

The  ground breaking  work of Mark Sircus, Ac., OMD and Dr. Simonchini, an oncologist in Rome, Italy, has shown the tremendous potential of sodium bicarbonate. Dr. Simonchini originally made the connection between fungal infections and cancer proliferation. He realized that when a tumor was flushed with baking soda (which is anti-fungal), it shrank and completely disappeared within days. Mark Sircus takes this idea one step further, believing that baking soda can be ingested as well with remarkable results. Sircus feels that cancer is a complex disease and healing goes beyond simply targeting the tumor — the body needs to be brought into harmony with breathing techniques, exercise, sun exposure and massage along with bicarbonate therapy. A striking example of success is Vernon Johnston who cured stage IV prostate cancer with this protocol. His story can be found here.

Protect against colds and influenza

Cancer is not the only ailment that is healed by baking soda. Contagious illnesses like colds and influenza also respond well to sodium bicarbonate. In 1922, a small booklet was published extolling the healing virtues of this simple powder. Edward R. Hays, MD said at the time:

“In 1918 and 1919 while fighting the ‘Flu’ with the U. S. Public Health Service it was brought to my attention that rarely any one who had been thoroughly alkalinized with bicarbonate of  soda  contracted the disease, and those who did contract it, if alkalinized early, would invariably have mild attacks. I have since that time treated all cases of ‘Cold,’ Influenza and LaGrippe by first giving generous doses of Bicarbonate of Soda, and in many, many instances within 36 hours the symptoms would have entirely abated.”

Recommended dosage for colds and influenza:

  • On the first day, consume a total of six doses of half a teaspoon of  baking soda  in one cup of water. Take at two hour intervals.
  • Continue the same protocol on the second day, but reduce to four doses.
  • On the third day, consume only two doses — one in the morning and another at night.
  • Continue thereafter with one dose in the morning until illness is cured.

Additional benefits

Not only helpful with disease, baking soda has a broad spectrum of use. It is also good for:

  • Clearing acne
  • Cleansing hair and removing buildup
  • Detoxifying radiation poisoning
  • Acid reflux
  • Cleaning teeth
  • Insect bites
  • Boosting laundry detergent
  • Removing dirt and residue off fresh fruits and vegetables
  • Household cleaning and deodorizing
  • Unclogging drains when combined with vinegar

For pennies per use, sodium bicarbonate really is an economical workhorse. Considering the average conventional cancer treatment costs over $350,000, baking soda provides an inexpensive, safe and effective alternative. Whether contending with the threat of cancer,  infectious disease, acne or simply seeking a environmentally friendly cleansing agent, baking soda is a natural champion.
