Hello,
If confirmed, the finding could help improve a variety of cancer therapies. Penn MD-PhD student Zandra Walton discovered that acidic conditions halt protein synthesis in cells.
It is possible that if baking soda can be used to reawaken such dormant cells, tumors might become far more sensitive to therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
