Subject: Something About Easter Island. Mar. 13, 2008.
Here is something from a person who I don't agree
with very much but at least he tells some of the facts
about Easter Island. Please judge for yourself what is
true.
........................................................
........................................................
We must therefore present the view of reason, not out
of the hope of reconstructing the deserts of ruined
minds that have been rusted shut which is all but
impossible but to educate and train new and fertile
minds.
Easter Island has generated an amazing amount of
theories and speculations, and many of these are based
upon perceived `mysteries' of the statues and
controversy over `who done it?' Most conjectures
revolve around diffusionist theories (people from
elsewhere came to the island and carved the statues and
built the shrines). But a few consist of astoni****ng
leaps of imagination: laser beams, extra-terrestrials,
elephants, anti-gravity, etc. Some of the wild
speculations are based upon actual cultural remains,
but with an astoni****ng twist. A few suggest disturbed
minds.
The material falls into the `crazy theories'
category, the outer space bunch, and natural
catastrophes. Then there are those who focus on
rongorongo (a mysterious script from Easter Island,
carved on wooden boards and just strange enough to
entice a large segment of the rationally-challenged)
and the Lemuria-Mu aficionados who work from a sunken
continent theory. This latter group is allied with the
Atlantis group.
The real `mystery' of Easter Island is why so many
people feel compelled to fabricate such fabulous and
extraordinary `solutions' when we know who built the
shrines and carved the statues, we know how the ancient
Polynesians got to the island, and we know (in general
outline) their history.
Flying Moai
Werner Wolff’s book, Island of D-ath (1973) contains
an extensive array of misinformation and some amazing
ideas. One of these is his theory that the statues of
Easter Island were carved around the statue quarry so
as to be blown onto their ahu at various locations
around the island when the volcano of Rano Raraku
erupted. Wolff wonders how the ancient sculptors worked
in a `gaseous crater' and suggests that investigators
of Easter Island’s mysteries should try to confirm his
thesis of `volcanic trans****tation.'
While surely an innovative idea, Wolff’s theory has
holes the size of Texas. Geologists have determined
that the volcanoes were extinct for thousands of years
before the Polynesians arrived on Easter Island. The
statue carvers selected the part of the quarry at Rano
Raraku with the best quality of volcanic tuff; and, it
has been extinct for hundreds of thousands of years.
Thus, no gases emanated from Rano Raraku at the time
span of statue carving (probably AD 600-1600). As for
the statues being blown from the quarry to their
intended site, they would disintegrate upon impact as
a result of volcanic trans****tation.

Elephant Power
An article appeared in the Denver Post (Colorado) a
few years ago, detailing an amazing theory about Easter
Island. Titled `Unraveling one of Archaeology’s Great
Riddles' the article describes how one man solved the
`puzzling riddle' of the enormous stone statues on
Easter Island. Elephants were the `key'.
The story included Kublai Khan’s armada sent to
invade Japan. The armada’s ****ps were scattered by
typhoons, causing the loss of some 6,000 ****ps, several
of which had w-r elephants on board. ****ps are
sometimes pushed across the Pacific to North or South
America. Ergo: the elephants were landed in South
America and then the ****p ssailed westward to Easter
Island, naturally bringing along the elephants. (JW
I don't believe that one either.
Central Energy Plant?
An author by the name of Tom Gary suggested that
Easter Island was some a kind of central energy plant
from which energy was transmitted to Mexico and South
America. Gary suggests that rongorongo inscriptions
were the key to the Easter Island mysteries', and that
a `diagram' on the backs of some of the giant statues
offers the key to unlocking their message. His claim
was that the diagrams would lead to a `copying machine'
that would copy in three dimensions. Gary’s theory
involves some unspecified power that he says emanates
from the island, p***** up through the statues, and
comes out of the statues’ eyes in the form of laser
beams. It was those beams that carved the rongorongo
script. Gary found it very strange that neither
g-vernment officials nor scientists would come to look
at his `evidence', and attributed this to `academic
snootiness.'
Note: The statues do not have diagrams on their
backs. Some have designs, but these reflect the
aesthetics of the island’s art and are believed to
represent the sacred hami (loincloths) worn by chiefs.
And just what one would to copy in 3-D is not clear].
The Sunken Continent Bunch
A lot of folks really want to believe in the theory
of a sunken continent. Read my lips: the islands of
Polynesia are not, nor have they ever been, a part of a
sunken continent. They are the tops of volcanic peaks.
Before modern exploration and mapping of the sea floor,
some thought that the Pacific islands were part of a
former continent. However, now we have clear and
irrefutable evidence that no such continent ever
existed.
Nevertheless, the view dies hard. As recently as
1989, a review in The Wa****ngton Times described an
upcoming book by one Charles Berlitz that `will examine
Easter Island as a relic of a lost continent.' Berlitz
is quoted as saying that there are: . . many
prehistoric remnants in the South Pacific . . . .
monstrous buildings on small islands.
One explanation is that these were shrines atop
mountains and the cities are submerged. About 11,000
years ago most of the land mass around these islands
was above water."
A quick look at the credentials of Berlitz is
revealing: he authored The Bermuda Triangle, Mysteries
from Forgotten Worlds, Doomsday 1999 A.D., and Atlantis
the VIII Continent. He is quoted as saying that if one
pierced the earth with an arrow at the center of the
Bermuda Triangle it would emerge in the Pacific [Duh].
(JW That theory has a grain on truth to it.)
Lemuria and Mu
The Lemuria and Mu contingent go hand in hand with
the sunken continent idea. Those who wish to believe in
ancient supernatural powers and a mystical r-ce with
special abilities and knowledge, lean to Mu, Lemuria or
Atlantis as the places from whence far-wiser beings
came. Various writers have ascribed different locations
for that region, diverse attributes, and special
abilities of the peoples that supposedly inhabited
them.
Many proponents for the lost civilization of Lemuria
focus on Easter Island, but the details vary from time
to time. The lost Lemurians, according to one source,
were groups of clairvoyant s-ers, oracles, and h-ly
people who interacted between other worlds. Today the
remains of this `lost paradise' include the Fiji
Islands, Hawai‘i, Easter Island, and '. . . some of the
Los Angeles area and that is why many s-iritual people
who have a high consciousness are drawn there.' [More
likely, one might suggest that is why there is a large
percentage of nutcases in El Lay].
The Lemurians supposedly got together with the
Atlantian refugees and after 12,000 years of
development, they now possess the power to operate the
a-om-core alloy hull UFOs which exist and enter
undersea `gateways' via anti-gravity fields. Sunken
pyramids at the bottom of the seas also contribute to
this effect'.
The proponents of Lemuria believe that there is
`little doubt' that the mysterious culture of Easter
Island had an advanced form of air travel at its
disposal. [If the Easter Islanders had had air travel
available in ancient times, they would have left when
things got tough.]
Barry Fell's Theories
Ultra-diffusionist theories claim that most
civilizations can be traced to the genius of a few who
spread enlightenment throughout the world. These
theories generally develop in total isolation from
legitimate scientific studies. Barry Fell and his
sup****ters' base much of their `evidence' on designs
carved on rocks, claiming that these represent various
ancient alphabets and languages. A self-taught
epigrapher, Fell `translates' markings that geologists
identify as natural weathering, or rock carvings left
by ancient Native Americans. Serious archaeologists
study the rock carvings as evidence of native belief
systems, but Fell and his cohorts `read' them, and
ascribe them to various wandering peoples from the
European sphere: Celts, Basques, Phoenicians, Libyans,
Carthaginians, Arabs, Minoans and Egyptians.
Fell derives the Polynesian language [and the
language of the Zuni Indians!] from ancient Libyan with
some Anatolian and Asian elements thrown in for good
measure. He claimed the Polynesians were descended from
Libyans who were in the service of Egypt, working in
Sumatra's gold mines and `even Australia'.
Fell's books sell incredibly well to the public in
North America that is intent on believing that an
ancient `w-ite' culture existed on this continent a
r-cist theory. The major complaint regarding Fell is
that evidence that displeases him is ignored, and his
linguistic `evidence' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
However, his books delight large numbers of wishful
thinkers.

Space Travelers
Travelers from space comprise a large segment of
`theories' about Easter Island. One correspondent
stated that the island was a `rest and recreation
station for space travelers, who would have been not
less than six years non-stop in space.' And, he added
that, `the famous person that they commemorate would
have been a space traveler who lost his eyesight when
evading a `black hole'.
As for how they were carved, the basic removal of a
block was carried out with a blow torch or thermal
lance, producing a total surface of obsidian that all
had to be chipped off.
[Any traveler who tangled with a black hole would
have far more problems than losing eyesight. The
statues were carved from volcanic tuff with basalt
tools, the marks of which are still clearly visible in
the quarry. The tools used by the ancient Rapanui can
still be found lying around the quarry. Obsidian is not
found as a `surface on the statues'.
Stone tools were used exclusively by the Easter
Islanders, who lacked any kind of metal.
Eric von Daniken and Extra-Terrestrials
Von Daniken has been the single most vexing source of
misinformation about Easter Island. He published a book
in 1968 called Chariots of the G-ds? Unsolved Mysteries
of the Past, and followed that blockbuster by several
others of the same ilk (Over 3,000,000 copies in hard
cover!! `he greatest archaeological sensation since
the discovery of Troy!'
.. . . a provocative theory that will fascinate a vast
and eager public.')
What this printing history indicates is that people
will believe/buy anything provided it is sufficiently
bizarre.
One of von Daniken's favorite subjects is the Nazca
Lines (obviously `landing strips for the space
visitors'). But his imagination has spread to virtually
every corner of the world.
Von Daniken (1968:90) wrote much of his material
about Easter Island without ever visiting the island.
Thus we are treated to such statements as:
Whole mountain massifs had been transformed,
steel-hard volcanic rock had been cut through like
butter. No trees grow on the island, which is a tiny
speck of volcanic stone."
In his book, `The Gold of the Gods,' von Daniken
wrote that the statues were made from stone not found
on the island, thus the stone must have been brought in
by those little guys from outer space. These erroneous
statements have been quoted and re-quoted endlessly by
those who are not familiar with Easter Island.
[The volcanic tuff from which the statues were carved
is ****ous and readily cut with stone tools; it is not
`steel-hard.' Trees DID grow on the island and still do
today. By historic times the large trees had been cut
down, but in prehistoric times the island had a forest.
The island has good soil and is not a ‘tiny speck of
volcanic stone'. The statues were carved on the island
from volcanic tuff, basalt, trachyte, and scoria all of
which is present on the island. The main statue quarry,
Rano Raraku, still has several hundred unfinished
statues lying in the quarry.]
Catastrophe Theories
This category leans toward things like `Tectonic
Cleavage' and the movement of landm*****, tidal waves,
etc. Often this group relates also to B-blical
s-riptures so we are advised of `counter rotation of
the sun to fulfill G-d's prophesy' and one writer
suggested that the Hawaiians are Aztecs who were sent
into the Pacific in `The Westward Tectonic Tidal Wave'.
Baloney and Half-Truths
There is a class of books and articles that uses just
enough fact and/or jargon to sound OK to the uninformed
reader.
These are really spurious, for they entice the
non-specialist and general reader with reams of `facts'
about various places or theories. Without being aware
of counter-arguments, or lacking information about the
areas in question, or knowing the authors' agendas, it
is easy to be seduced by them.
Our first example is taken from an editorial by F.
Joseph in `The Ancient American,' 1996. The writer
describes what he calls the `M-rxist Scenario' for what
happened on Easter Island and then:
As long ago as 1947, Thor Heyerdahl demonstrated an
ancient and seminal Peruvian connection to Rapa Nui by
sailing his balsa replica of an Andean vessel from
South America to Easter Island. His achievement sent
off a firestorm of official abuse that continues to
this day. Last summer's discoveries `vindicated Dr
Heyerdahl."
[Heyerdahl did not land on Easter Island, but drifted
to the Tuamotus Islands, far to the north. Nothing of
South American manufacture has ever been found on
Easter Island: no pottery, no metal, no weaving, no
fine pressure flaking. DNA studies prove Easter
Islanders are Polynesian].
F. Joseph goes on to say:
Easter Island Civilization is far older than they
always claimed. And its ancient links to South America,
which they dismissed as `unlikely,' are now beyond
question. To the up-holders of their out-dated dogma,
we can only say, ‘We told you so.' "
[This is the typical response and put-down to the
scientific community: the `gotcha mentality' of `we`
vs `them.'
Note: `The Ancient American' carries such stories as
`Decoding the Sphinx,' `Rune Stones in the U-ited
States,' `Prehistoric Chicago', and `Bearded Foreigners
in Mesoamerica.']
Let the Reader Beware
In the category of deception we find author D.
Childress, a diffusionist who has churned out an
amazing number of books, the titles of which invariably
start with the words `Lost Cities . . . .' No
continent, island, country, or concept is spared.
Childress claims to treat his readers to `lost
continents, sunken cities, living legengds [sic],
s-cret societies, cataclysms, mystics, and living
dinosaurs.' Well, he does all that. Whatever actual
facts are present are buried beneath a compost of
speculation and half-truths.
Readers of Childress' (JW I like the books of
Childress and consider them to contain a lot of truth.)
books need to watch for the lavish use of the phrase,
`What Else Could It Be?' The books contain some factual
information from solid sources, but they are sprinkled
with fanciful material, designed to mislead the less
astute reader.

Something About Easter Island. Part 3.
Mar. 14, 2008.
This sums up what has been said about these statues.
........................................................
........................................................
Take this section from Ancient Tonga and the Lost
City of Mu:
Fijians may well be from Egypt and Africa, and this
may explain the curious fact that Fijians and Tongans
speak the same ancient language invarious dialects, yet
are two distinct r-cial types. Egypt is a land that was
inter-ra-ial in ancient times, and would have had two
different rac-al types speaking the same language. The
Egyptians were known to have explored and possibly
colonized along the East African coast and therefore it
is quite possible that Fijian has some linguistic
similarities with certain Tanganyikan [Tanzania]
dialects. As far as the Theban customs used in Fiji,
this may well be the use of wooden head stands for
sleeping, an unusual custom used in Fiji, Tonga, Tonga
and ancient Egypt. The Egyptians were also known for
their excellent stone masonry technics [sic], something
that can be easily seen in Tonga and other Pacific
Islands, particularly Rapa Nui (Easter Island)."
(Childress 1996:117-8)
The reader should note astoni****ng jumps in logic and
the use of `may explain' `it is quite possible' and
`this may well be.' These buzz-words may convince the
unwary that the natives of Fiji came from Egypt. By
using the phrase `Theban customs in Fiji' the writer
conjures up a connection between two far-separated
areas, and never mind that they are separated by both
thousands of years and thousands of miles and that the
custom of using head rests is found in a great many
cultures. By tossing in the phrase `masonry techniques
of Egyptians,' stone cutting practices of the Egyptians
are magically trans****ted to Tonga and Easter Island.
Implied is the rac-st notion that the people of Tonga
and Easter Island were incapable or unaware of masonry
techniques unless shown to them by someone from a
`higher civilization.'
Readers of Childress’ books will find just enough
factual information to give (for an instant) some
credibility, but then spurious comments from weird
sources are added and mixed into a murky stew.
`Ancient Micronesia & the Lost City of Nan Madol',
Childress asks a few rhetorical questions:
Were the first inhabitants priests who used their
ancient knowledge taken from India and Egypt to build
the amazing sea****t of Nan Madol? Was Pohnpei a remote
Pacific base for an ancient navy that was occasionally
visited by air****ps from distant airfield? It boggles
the imagination!" [We agree with Childress's final
sentence, completely].
Then he goes on to discuss Egyptian `explorations' in
the Pacific around 1000 BC, and some Greek sailors are
tossed in, . . . remnants of Alexander the Great’s army
in Persia. The final chapter is titled `The Mystery of
the Settlement of the Pacific.' And here we find a
liberal dose of Barry Fell advocating Libyans and
Phoenicians in the Pacific, and those pesky Egyptians.
At this point, Childress states, `Though many
historians are reluctant to accept the theory of
Egyptians in the Pacific, the evidence is overwhelming
..
Other books published by Adventures Unlimited include
UFOs and Anti-Gravity; Extraterrestrial Archaeology;
The Anti-Gravity Handbook; Underground Bases & Tunnels;
What is the G-vernment Trying to Hide?, Ether
Technology.
Egyptians as the source of all things cultural seems
to be a fertile ground for some writers. A slim book by
Jairazbhoy [this book is the `Ishtar' of the book
world) claims that everything Polynesian can be traced
to Egypt by way of Mexico and South America.
[Dear Reader, the Egyptians did not make it to Easter
Island, or Nan Madol, or . . . The Fiji islanders are
neither Egyptian nor African. They came from the
Solomons or Vanuatu, having left their Southeast Asian
homeland and spreading eastward by way of Indonesia,
the Philippines and Papua New Guinea. The Fijian
language is not similar to nor is it related to that of
Tanganyika [Tanzania]. The many regional dialects found
in Fiji descend from the language known as
Austronesian. To respond to all the misleading
statements in these books would require writing another
book].
Rongorongo Tablets
Rongorongo tablets have been a fertile area for
speculation, for one can read nearly anything into the
small engraved images on wooden tablets. A goodly
amount of literature has described them as being linked
to the un-deciphered script of the Indus Valley,
Egyptian hieroglyphics, ancient Sumerian, Chinese, and
many others, despite the thousands of years difference
in time and huge distances apart. One creative writer
suggested they are a link to Stonehenge via those busy
extra-terrestrials. Gads, those guys really got around.
Conclusion
Creators of nutty theories and bizarre scenarios
and their ardent followers are not likely to be
converted by reason.
Their minds are made up, don’t bother them with the
facts and, besides, their books sell very well. The
general mind-set for authors of the fantastic genre is
against the scholarly and the professional. These
writers stress (and quote liberally) from sources
dating from the 19th century when the science of
archaeology was in its infancy. Before the Pacific sea
floor was mapped, many persons thought a continent
might have been there. But now we know it was not so.
To quote from someone who was writing in that earlier
time period and trying to pass it off as ‘truth’ or
‘fact’ is deceptive. Using outdated sources is a
typical practice, in a sort of `let the reader beware'
attitude, and popular writers consistently over-stress
the similarities and assumed similarities between early
civilizations of the two hemispheres:
Who are these folks who foist c-azy theories upon the
public? Wauchope (1962: 125) states that crank
pseudo-scientists hold certain traits in common:
.. . . the crank works in almost total isolation from
his fellows, and. . . has a tendency toward paranoia
likely to be exhibited in five ways: he considers
himself a genius; he regards his colleagues as ignorant
blockheads; he believes himself unjustly persecuted and
discriminated against; and he writes in a complex
jargon."
The consequence is that a huge number of books are of
little scientific value, and what sells is far-out
fiction or fictionalized accounts of ancient cultures
that stress the `mysteries' of the place.
While sensational books remain popular, in recent
years the ****ft has been to television shows or series
that stress the ‘mysteries’ of various places around
the globe, speculating and insinuating about esoteric
and wonderful things that ancient peoples may have
done, and how they knew `s-crets' that have been `lost'
over the centuries.
There is little doubt that the TV media manipulates
its viewers, particularly the young who tend to believe
what they see (or think they see). These programs are
popular, narrated by movie stars with deep melodic
voices, and the public responds to them. One can only
cite the prevalence of TV science fiction programs that
seem to get more fantastic every season, or the members
of the recent `Heaven’s Gate' suicide cult in
California that thought they were to be carried off by
a space ****p. (JW I heard "The Two" speak and they
were very conviencing but something told me not to
be part of their group.)
A lot of people believe that flying saucers have
landed, and that there are intelligent beings `out
there'. While there may indeed be intelligent life
elsewhere in the universe, the real story of what
happened here on earth in the past is far more
fascinating. Archaeology is an exciting subject. What
is more absorbing than discovering and understanding
how people lived thousands of years ago, how they faced
similar problems of shelter and survival, and struggled
to understand their universe? We have a depth of
history, and an amazing cultural heritage. Our
ancestors built shrines, shelters, made pottery and
wove fabrics, created tools, and objects of metal. They
built communities and families, created writing
systems, carved statuary, and buried their dead with
offerings for their g-ds. Their story is our story, on
another level of development. To represent that past
falsely and for money and notoriety is reprehensible.
And there is another thing. To suggest or intimate
that the ancient Easter Islanders did not carve their
statues and build their shrines is to deny them their
past. Easter Island has a rich history, coming out of
the Polynesian tradition, which in turn derives from
Southeast Asia. They created a remarkable civilization,
out there, isolated in the vast South Pacific Ocean.
Let’s give them a little credit!

(JW IMHO the thing that happened on Easter Island
was that some people with a highly advanced culture
built the statues that are there now. It may have
been the group that Thao belongs to. They made a
statue that contains the name of Thao on it and it
is made to look somewhat like her. On some of these
statues they have a round red hat on the top of their
heads which are probably like the hats that Thaoe's
friends wear when they put on their colored robes.
Some of these hats have been removed from some of the
statues. They are made of a different colored rock
and it is red in color.
The native people have attempted to cut other
statues with wooden tools but have never, as far as I
know, been able to trans****t these large statues very
far and put them on the statue pedestals. So that's
it my opinion on these statues.)

Subject: C-ncer cured with baking soda & maple syrup!
http://www.healingcancernaturally.com
/bakingsoda-maplesyruptreatment.html
Country doctor cu-es ca-cer - with baking soda &
maple syrup
by George Sanford
/Weekly World News
Asheville, N.C. - "There's not a tumor on G-d's green
Earth that can't be licked with a little baking soda
and maple syrup!"
That's the astoni****ng claim of controversial folk
h-aler Jim Kelmun - who says his simple home remedy can
stop and reverse the growth of deadly can-ers.
The 75-year-old former truck driver has no medical
degree and authorities are demanding that he stop
dispensing his "wonder d-ug" - or face a p-ison
sentence.
But his loyal patients swear by the man they fondly
call "Dr. Jim" - and say he's a m-racle worker.
"Dr. Jim cured me of lung can-er," declares farmer
Ian Rodhiuse, 64. "Those other doctors told me I was a
goner and had less than six months to live.
"But the doc put me on his mixture - and in a couple
of months, the canc-r was gone. It didn't even show up
on X-rays!"
The gentle, silver-haired grandfather - who has been
preparing home remedies since 1954 - says he first hit
upon the mi-acle cure in the mid-1970s, when he was
treating a family plagued by b-east c-ncer.
"There were five sisters in the family and all of
them passed away from the big C by age 50 - except
one," he recalls.
"I asked if there was anything different in her diet.
She told me she was partial to sipping maple syrup and
baking soda.
"I figured, let me try it out on some of my other
patients."
Since then, "Dr. Jim" has dispensed his mixture to
more than 200 patients diagnosed with terminal canc-r.
Amazingly, he claims that of that number, 185 lived at
least 15 more years - and nearly half enjoyed a
complete remission of their disease.
"You tell me about another treatment that works that
good!" he demands proudly.
Medical experts are less enthusiastic. "This man is a
quack, plain and simple," blasts an official at a state
medical association. "We intend to see that he is arrested for
practising medicine without a license."
Until that happens, Dr. Jim vows to keep prescribing
his treatment: "I'm just going to keep on saving
lives."
Dr. Jim's Miracle treatment is made with baking soda
and maple syrup.
Will Dr. Jim's recipe work for you?
We don't know - and Weekly World News urges you to
consult your own trusted physician before embarking on
any course of medical treatment. But here, for our
readers, is Dr. Jim's recipe:
Mix one part baking soda with three parts maple syrup
in a small saucepan. Stir briskly. Heat for five
minutes. Take one teaspoon daily, as needed.

How It Works
This treatment is a combination of pure, 100% maple
syrup and baking soda. When mixed and heated together,
the maple syrup and baking soda bind together. The
maple syrup targets c-ncer cells (which consume 15
times more glucose than normal cells) and the baking
soda, which is dragged into the can-er cell by the
maple syrup, being very alkaline, removes the microbe
inside the canc-r cell.
The Protocol

stated to be "aluminum free." This includes

100%) maple syrup in a small saucepan.
Stir Briskly as it is heating.
Heat the mixture for 5 minutes (which means do not
use heat that is too high).
Take 1 teaspoon daily, as needed.
We have not been able to get the maple syrup to bind
to the baking soda, using Bob's Red Mill baking soda.
If you figure out how to keep the maple syrup from
separating from the baking soda, after refrigerating
overnight, please let us know how you did it (make sure
you include the word "ca-cer" or "Kelmun" in the

Treating Ca-cer & Destroying Tumors w/ Baking Soda
(Sodium Bicarbonate): Is Can-er Just a Fungus?
by Healing Can-er Naturally August 2007
Copyright Notice
An Italian oncologist, Dr. Tullio S-moncini, has
devised a simple, very inexpensive and apparently
frequently effective cance- treatment centered around
the use of sodium bicarbonate, taken orally or by
infusion. This baking soda treatment is based on the
thesis that "-ancer Is a Fungus" (also the title of Dr.
Si-oncini's book). Sodium bicarbonate administered
directly on the neoplastic m***** is said to destroy
the fungal colonies lying at the heart of the tumor.
Additionally, according to Dr. Tullio Sim-ncini, this
baking soda treatment could even be self-applied in
certain types of c-ncer, i.e. if the ca-cer is limited
to the organ (not infiltrating the confined [probably
meaning surrounding/adjacent] tissue, for example in
the oral cavity, oesophagus, stomach, intestine,
rectum. The supervision of a doctor, however, is
indicated. In all other cases the assistance of a
doctor is mandatory (to administer the infusions etc.).
Success rates and application of sodium bicarbonate
therapy.
Dr. Sim-ncini re****ts on cases of brain tumors ("both
primary and metastatic in general regress or stop
growing after therapy with sodium bicarbonate at five
per cent solution"), intestinal can-er, bladder canc-r,
breast cance-, -ancer of the spleen, liver c-ncer, lung
can-er, oropharyngeal canc-r (mouth, tongue, palate,
pharynx), peritoneal carcinosis, pleura tumor ("primary
or secondary pleuric neoplasias are amongst the easiest
to treat with the therapy method"), prostate tumor,
stomach canc-r (one of the tumors that are easiest to
treat because of its easily reachable position through
the mouth), tumor of the pancreas and others. This
includes successes, sometimes long-term (up to 20
years* when to my knowledge Dr. Simon-ini started using
this treatment), as well as other less successful
experiences and outcomes. Dr. Simonc-ni gives the
following statistics: if the fungi are sensitive to the
sodium bicarbonate solutions and the tumour size is
below 3 cm, the percentage will be around 90%, in
terminal cases where the patient is in reasonably good
condition it is 50%, and for terminal patients it is a
small percentage.
* See for example these excerpts from a lung c-ncer
case featured at Dr. Simonc-ni's site
curenaturalicancro.com:
The therapeutic treatment is based on two essential
elements: liver detoxification simultaneously with
administration of bicarbonate salts orally, through
aerosol and intravenously.
After about eight months of b-oodless and painless
therapy, the mass completely disappears. Over one year
after the end of the therapy, the x-rays show only a
thickening of the inter-lobe separation, which is the
result of healing. The patient is still alive some 20
years after the therapy. Incidentally, the related
Country doctor c-res can-er - with baking soda & maple
syrup also features a case of lung canc-r cure
attributed to sodium bicarbonate (plus maple syrup).
Other cance- and/or health-related applications of
sodium bicarbonate
Baking soda, in addition to its many time-honored
applications (household and other clean-up purposes),
is also used in baths and rinses for chelating ionizing
radiation and/or k-lling bacteria.
Conclusion
Since this looks like a promising treatment and fits
two of the major ethical criteria of He-ling Ca-cer
Naturally (availability to near-everyone due to being
inexpensive, low to no toxicity), the reader is
encouraged to visit Dr. Simoncini's site
curenaturalicancro.com.
You'll find much background information and research
findings there incl. explanatory videos, a page giving
how-to instructions for using sodium bicarbonate, etc.
Sodium bicarbonate powder, thanks to its long history
of both internal and external use by humans, is
available in most any drugstore, supermarket and
pharmacy.

somewhat comparable in its functioning to sodium
bicarbonate, also see MMS=AE (chlorine dioxide)
- a m-racle supplement and inexpensive DIY treatment

Im****tant addendum
This website is about Hea-ing Ca-cer Holistically
since I believe that for true and lasting healing to be
achieved on all levels as well as by the same token, to
prevent similar or other health crises in the future,
it is wisest and best to tackle a can-er and other
challenge from several angles. While the
dietary/environmental aspects frequently constitute
some of the most im****tant ones, the
mental/emotional/sp-ritual ones can also be of major
and decisive significance.
I still include non-holistic approaches such as Dr.
Simonc-ni's sodium bicarbonate c-ncer treatment for all
those whom they might benefit in the short or long
term. That said, in order to avoid can-er, Dr.
Simonci-i himself advises a healthy lifestyle, good
(biological) food, taking as little medicine as
possible, exercising and paying much attention to
chronic symptoms.
