How Does Baking Soda Help Treat Cancer Naturally?

My mother is a 79 year old cancer patient, going through chemo finishing her last treatment 2 weeks ago..severe diarrhea and having to have rehydration treatments. Hemoglobin drops and has several pints of blood since the beginning. Now 2 pints of blood scheduled for tomorrow. I know nothing about nothing but I heard along time ago in Paramedic, sodium bicarbonate is helpful to patients.. all her doctors at this point want to give in mag and potassium...I like the idea of trying bicarb and baking soda. Your opinion please ?

Bicarbonate doesn't kill cancer cells, nor does baking soda. Sodium bicarbonate is only given in rare instances of electrolyte imbalance, in tumor lysis, etc. Potassium and magnesium are also given in electrolyte imbalance only. nothing to do with cancer.
