you can kill cancer by mixing molasses or maple syrup with sodium bicarbonate and kill the cancer and raise body ph from acidic to alkaline.
Also this is not anything new. It's a reason why artificial sweeteners promote cancer growth. Cancerous cells are able to use artificial sweeteners efficiently and it will promote cancer growth.
The whole ph alternative medicine junk is just that, junk.
PROVE IT.
How about the fact your body requires a pH level of exactly 7.4? Anything that alters this pH level will trigger automatic responses to bring the pH back to 7.4.
At 7.35 pH acidosis occurs. Acidosis can and will lead to coma and death.
at 7.45 pH alkalosis occurs. This leads to weakness, cramping, and other complications which can lead to death.
Acidosis is often linked to diabetes, ketoacidosis. Feel free to look it up.

Not breathing can't be good for your health.

Answer the question instead of trying to evade it with side tracking verbosity.
how did he cure his cancer.
also for a feedback mechanism to occur there has to be a DIFFERENCE to start of with.

Again you seem to be posting out of complete ignorance. Nobody goes into cancer treatment thinking that chemo is a 100% certain cure. No doctors ever claim that it is. It works for some people and not for others. So no they are not all dead because they underwent chemo.

with a average 3% success rate over 5 years and a very high false positive of diagnosis of cancer i would say the success rate rate of chemo is actually NEGATIVE.
i.e people don't actually have cancer but they are subjected to radiation and toxic cancer causing drugs which gives them cancer and kills them.
Where do these numbers come from??
The “2% chemo efficacy” comes from an Australian study into the contribution of chemotherapy to 5-year cancer survival, and the researchers claimed to have found that the average benefit of chemotherapy was about 2%. So: the study is about the contribution of chemotherapy to survival and not about survival of patients having chemotherapy.
For obvious reasons, this study has become immensely popular with alternative therapists and is quoted by them ad nauseam.
A rather strange phenomenon took place after the publication of this study: over time, the 2-3% contribution to survival had somehow become 2-3% plain survival – period. Some of these altmeds now actually claim the outcome of the study was that of all cancer patients receiving chemo, only 2-3% survive for more than 5 years.
In other words: chemotherapy kills an average 97% of cancer patients within 5 years.
Now, as these numbers sound totally weird – to say the least – we decided to find out if there was any truth in them.
So… now what?
The data from the study are from 1998. We are now in 2009 and progress has been made in those years. There is better medication to diminish side effects of chemotherapy. There is new, sophisticated technology to assess which breast cancers are prone to metastasize and which are not, resulting in less women having to undergo chemotherapy. Scientists are working hard on similar tests for other cancers.
There are over 80 different kinds of chemotherapy. Some are sheer hell, but many are quite doable, including the one I had. Nevertheless: chemotherapy still is the ultimate cancer scare factor and the sooner we can do without it, the better. But it is not true that only 2-3% survive chemotherapy. It is not true that the average benefit of chemotherapy to 5-year survival is as low as 2%. And it is also not true that all chemotherapy is by definition completely and totally unbearable.
If we really want to get anywhere at all, then honesty about the facts, not manipulation, self-aggrandizing and scare mongering, should be the basis for discussion and decision making.
Just in response Chemotherapy really is a terrible treatment for a number of reasons and needs to be replaced.

I did check my facts and i said 3% instead of 2% .that is giving you the benefit of the doubt by 50%
in any case here are the facts about effectiveness.
www.oasisadvancedwellness.com...
look at head and neck cancers..first line
victims 5139 survivors after 5 years 97
it's very simple and straight forward to understand.
that is right 97 survivors out of 5139 = 1.9% .
now you will do your best to twist the figures..try statistical tricks or try smear the figures but it does not matter.
remember when YOU get cancer as the chance is 1 in 2 in your lifetime due to increasing pollution of everything all around including the food/drink all your loyalty to the chemo industry will come home to and you will experience its horrors first hand and your fat bank balance won't protect you.
in fact your fat bank balance will be drained by the chemo vendors as every time some one is diagnosed with cancer real or imagined or in error the hospital establishment and their cohorts hit the jackpot as the cost to you will hundreds of thousands and maybe millions.
in fact they have every incentive to misdiagnose you as they hit the jackpot while you suffer the chemo.edit on 13-7-2013 by beckybecky because: (no reason given)

Oh hey I didn't know we were playing the twist numbers game. Let me play too.
Hodgkin's Disease: Victims: 846, Survivors after 5 years: 341
That is right 40.3% survival due to chemotherapy.
Aren't you glad we played?
but instead of 5000 with 97 survivors victims we only have 846 victims. 341 survivors.
as a fraction of the total it still comes to 3% at most.
that is like saying 2 people had cancer and 1 survived
giving a 50% success rate.
also you ignored the false cancer positives just as i expected as if that is taken into account the chemo has a negative survival rate.
also people like you never explain why if your wonderful chemo is so successful why 560000 died from cancer last year in America.
care to explain that?

Is this a reply to my post?
I really don't have a clue what your post means.
You need to re-post and make it a bit clearer as all you've done is quoted previous posts out of context.

Conclusion: As the 5-year relative survival rate for cancer in Australia is now over 60%, it is clear that cytotoxic chemotherapy only makes
a minor contribution to cancer survival. To justify the continued funding and availability of drugs used in cytotoxic chemotherapy,
a rigorous evaluation of the cost-effectiveness and impact on quality of life is urgently required. Morgan, G. et al. (2004). Clinical Oncology
