Dr. Tullio Simoncini

Dr. Tullio Simoncini is a former Italian doctor, born in 1951. He received his degree in 1976 in Rome. In the same city, he attended specialized studies in diabetes and metabolic diseases. In 1996, he earned a Ph.D. degree in Philosophy from La Sapienza University in Rome. At the same university, Dr. Simoncini focused on studies of Oncology in a period from 2000 to 2004. At the same time, he started his battle with cancer and conventional cancer treatments.
 
Dr. Simoncicni is famous for his claims that the fungi Candida albicans causes cancer, or, in other words, that cancer represents the form of candida overgrowth. He presented his hypothesis at many international conferences, and even published a book named “Cancer is a Fungus“, in which he described protocols for treatment of different cancers. In addition, Dr. Simoncini was founder of a private association “Italian Association Fungus and Cancer”.

Dr. Simoncini believes that baking soda, i.e. sodium bicarbonate, represents a key alternative cancer cure. It is well familiar that cancer favors acidic environment. In addition, Candida also survives and multiplies better when pH value is low. Baking soda, that creates an alkaline environment and pH value about 10, represents an antidote for acidity.
 
In accordance, Dr. Simoncini promotes injections of sodium bicarbonate as an alternative cure for cancer. Followers of conventional medicine have rejected the alternative approach that Dr. Simoncini has advocated. As they claim, there is a lack of evidence from peer-review studies that would support Simoncini’s cancer hypothesis. Also, they add, there is no single one scientific publication written by Dr. Simoncini.
 
Dr. Simonconi has led personal war against cancer and developed specific therapies (mostly intravenous) with sodium bicarbonate applicable for numerous cancer types. These include liver, intestinal, stomach, pancreas, prostate, brain, breast, lung, and skin cancers among others. Dr. Simonconi has claimed that the cure rate of his therapy totals around 70 % and that his patients have experienced little side effects if any.
 
Still, Dr. Simoncini is a part of several controversies. Italian Medical Society expelled him from their community after he was found guilty of a fraud and manslaughter in 2006. This was because one patient died after receiving his treatment. And this was not all. In 2018, the Italian court convicted Dr. Simoncini of 5 years and 6 months in jail, due to the death of another patient, treated with intravenous baking soda, who died from metabolic alkalosis.
