Cancer is now the leading cause of death in the United States. This video

featuring Doug Kaufman interviewing Italian Oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini,

details a new theory of cancer that carries the promise of a safe, speedy, and

effective cancer cure.

 

 

 

 

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

 

Cancer, which surpassed heart disease as the _number one killer in America_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2005/02/02/cancer-kills.asp

x) 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_ (http://www.know-the-cause.com/) – a longtime

proponent of the influence of fungi in human disease -- interviews the

Italian oncologist _Dr. Tullio Simoncini_ (http://www.curenaturalicancro.com/)

--

author of Cancer is a Fungus -- who shares fascinating new information about

what he believes is _the root of all cancers: fungi_

(http://www.cancerfungus.com/) , and discusses a radically different path for

curing cancer;

sometimes in as little as a few days.

Conventional Cancer Treatments – Ineffective and Dangerous “Curesâ€

Currently, if you are diagnosed with cancer, especially in the U.S., you are

given three options:

1. _Surgery_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2002/06/01/unneeded-surgery.\

aspx)

2. _Chemotherapy_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2006/10/21/chemotherapys-lon\

g-term-effects-can-last-a-decade-or-more.aspx)

3. _Radiation_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2000/05/28/radiation-breast-\

cancer.aspx)

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.â€

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.â€

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_

(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15630849?ordinalpos=1 & itool=EntrezSystem2.PE\

ntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPa

nel.Pubmed_RVDocSum) 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

“incurableâ€

disease of your body. _Several studies_

(http://www.curenaturalicancro.com/2-candida-cancer-always.html) 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:

1. Candida roots itself in your deep connective tissue in various

organs

2. 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

3. Growths continue as the fungi spreads, both in your surrounding

tissue, and remotely (aka “metastatisâ€). 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

4. Your body becomes progressively more exhausted, which allows the

fungi to spread and take over more rapidly

5. You die from “cancerâ€

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_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/05/10/the-kanzius-machi\

ne-a-cancer-cure.aspx) 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_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/01/01/does-chemo-for-br\

east-cancer-cause-more-har

m-than-good.aspx) .

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 _ (http://articles.mercola.com/si

tes/articles/archive/2007/01/06/how-the-bacteria-in-your-gut-can-make-you-fat.as\

px)

* _Food allergies_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2004/06/09/allergies-yeast-p\

art-one.aspx)

* Migraines

* Asthma

* _Depression_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2004/06/19/depression-yeast.\

aspx)

* Chronic fatigue syndrome and _fibromyalgia_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2004/07/28/fibromyalgia-yeas\

t-part-one.aspx)

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.â€

 

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_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/06/10/holistic-treatmen\

t-for-candida

-infection.aspx) . The highlights of the treatments for yeast overgrowth

include:

 

1. The Right Diet and Exercise -- A diet _rich in meats, chicken, eggs,

seeds and nuts, vegetables_ (http://www.mercola.com/nutritionplan/index.htm)

, 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_ (http://products.mercola.com/nutritional-typing/) .

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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2005/11/03/help-in-eliminati\

ng-food-cravings.aspx) and other emotional hurdles.
