IS Sodium Bicarbonate Effective In Cancer Treatment?
my father is 85 years old, weighs about 75 kilos and was diagnosed with stage 4 non small cell carcinoma of the lungs 5 months ago. He has metastatic cancer of the scapula and the 8th rib. He has refused chemotherapy and for the last 4 months has been on the baking soda protocol. His lung tumour has decreased in width from 4.7cm to 4.3cm. Do you think that sodium bicarbonate is effective as a cancer treatment?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. But sodium bicarbonate has no any proved role in carcinoma lung. It may besome coincidence that your tumor size is decreased. so its not effective for metastic carcinoma of lung.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
