 Simoncini: a very special hypothesis: cancer is a fungus, treating with sodium bicarbonate is the solution. Tullio Simoncini: a doctor, oncologist, philosopher, surgeon? That you can no clarity on the internet. Well clarity about his theory: that cancer is a fungus infection with the famous fungus Candida Albicans. Who is this man? If we PubMed, the largest database of medical articles, surfing and his name and the word 'cancer' introduction, we do not find even one publication. So that concludes that he or oncosurgeon oncologist, because there would be at least one article can be found, we believe. If we use only his name, we find many articles of a T. Simoncini, but that all articles on hormones, and the author is Tommaso Simoncini. Are we dealing with a swindler, or with a little-known genious and scholar. What will it be? According to the Volkskrant he is a swindler. But in the Internet there is much criticism on the statements of that Dutch paper, the Volkskrant. Once again: what are the real facts?
Google and Simoncini
If we do Simoncini and cancer Googling, we find more than 50,000 hits ... The fact is that many hits are Dutch. If we do Googling his name and cancer, we find almost 1000 hits in Dutch. So it is clearly a topic for our county. IOCOB has in recent months also repeatedly asked bij patients to express ourselves in this area. Will the Italian doctor a red or a green traffic light? In order to assess his therapy we need facts. Do we have any facts? And facts that we can check. Are they there?
Facts
-
Fact 1: the man exists, there are even pictures of him in a clinic in Berg and Bosch in the Netherlands.
-
Fact 2: He has launched a hypothesis that cancer is the result of a fungal infection and
-
Fact 3: He claims that cancer can be treated with sodium bicarbonate, because fungi are destroyed by NaHCO3.
The first fact is clear, we are going to continue with the 2 other aspects, which are hypothetical and for the moment a lot of debate between the groups of supporters and the critics of this method.
Fact 2: Cancer is a fungusFor his hypothesis to be reviewed, we need microscopic images of tumors, which include Candida. Preferably tumors removed by regular doctors based on different tissues and organs, such as the brains of glioma, a Grawitz tumor of the kidney and a small cell adenocarcinoma of the lung. It would appear that in all these cases we need to see Candida. That opportunistic Candida infection, which for many cancer patients can be found, as the defense has been broken down cannot serve as proof alone. For causality we need more! If we want to support the claim that Candida is responsible for cancer, we also need hard facts. Braintumoren and solid tumors in our view organs are almost always free from Candida ...
IOCOB has nowhere on the net take pictures of Candida in a asterocytoom in the brains, or in a Grawitz tumor can find, but perhaps we have not looked good enough? Please tips!
Preliminary examinationIOCOB waiting with anticipation to clear information that the facts 2 and 3. No emotions, but facts and transparant arguments!
So far we have been forced this treatment at a red traffic light. Because an infusion of sodium bicarbonate is not just harmless, and can only be given by a doctor when we have a safety. It is not for nothing, because there is medical literature which points to possible side effects sometimes problematic: ... the potenially harmful effect of the osmotic alterations that accompany rapid infusion of hypertonic NaHCO3 .... [5] The low concentration of the solution Simoncini which will be used are generally not very dangerous, we think.
Regardless of the efficacy. That security must be described. Otherwise we deal without knowing exactly what we do .... That is not! Meanwhile, we are dealing with a hypothesis of only one man, no publication in a professional journal, a difficult-to-understand theory and no information to accept and understand the ideas of Simoncini. Neither is there any clear proof of efficacy!
Have we here yet again to do with someone who makes abuse of hope and anxiety of cancer patients? That would be quite serious, especially since we are in the Netherlands apparently this man as a guest in a clinic every now and then welcome, and let him treat our patients.
IOCOB opens the debate: facts and not happy emotions. We wait and see.
Fact 3: Cancer can be treated with NaHCO3In order to accept this hypothesis, we need documentation and facts. Clear descriptions of credible cases. With results of additional research, course of the cancer, and what happened after the infusion of the treatment. Through regular doctors substantiated. Because it must be verifiable.
Case evidence is the lowest there is some evidence for a hypothesis. We go only to the acceptance of this evidence when it published somewhere. And that is not the Internet. It should really be read in a medical journal. Only in this way can we build a credible science.
If someone has a case that was published in a magazine, may be the second signature, computer simulations are recommended.
Further on sodiumbicarbonaat, sodium bicarbonate or NaHCO3. This is an alkali or alkaline solution, which for years including in the intensive care unit used in the treatment of poisonings and include so-called metabolic acidosis. [1] [2] [3] It is known from the literature that if a tumor too quickly solvs (found with conventional anticancer agents) that a potentially very dangerous syndrome occurs, the so-called Tumor lysis syndrome. [4] Since we have never heard something about these side effects, linked to the Italian therapy. This is strange. Because the tumor lysis syndrome is a side effect, for example in the treatment of massive intestinal tumours. While we read about cases of tumors within a few hours completely disappearing ... we would expect these side effects. This to indicate how important it is to include clear information on the safety of a treatment that is so controversial as this one.
