Amazing Power of Baking Soda

Bicarbonate of Soda (aka sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3, and baking soda) is a simple low-cost substance that is a useful remedy for a variety of ailments and chronic diseases. Discovered in 1840, baking soda (not to be confused with baking powder which typically contains aluminum) is a proven treatment for flus and colds, and recently this amazing substance has been in the “spotlight” as doctors like Tullio Simoncini, Mark Sircus have used it to treat cancer patients. Don Porter & Vito Johnston had success beating Stage IV Prostate Cancer with Baking Soda combined with an Organic Plant Based Diet (Macrobiotic), that restored Immune System & efficiently rebuilt dead Cancer Cells..

Perhaps the many successes are due to the fact that baking soda floods the cancer cells with a shockwave of alkalinity (pH up to 9) and oxygen, thus reversing the hypoxia (lack of oxygen acidity) which is always associated with cancerous tissue. Or perhaps it works because a comparison of cancer tissue with healthy tissue indicates that cancerous tissue always has a much higher concentration of toxic chemicals and pesticides than normal tissue, and sodium bicarbonate possesses the property of absorbing heavy metals, dioxins, and furans. Perhaps it’s a combination of the two.

Don Porter says “Get on an Organic Plant Based Diet for a couple of weeks to rebuild your immune system prior to destroying acidic cancer cells with Molasses (sugary) Baking Soda creating High pH Alkalinity. Add in deep breathing, exercise, “NO” sugar, fast or packaged foods, sodas, red meat, etc. These cells are then rebuilt with healthy cells by your more efficiently working immune system”. Don reminds us that it takes 4 months to change our blood, so persevere in your Plant Based Organic Diet change.

Amazing Power of Baking Soda

Baking soda has a plethora of additional uses. Baking soda is commonly used as an antacid for short-term relief of an upset stomach, to correct acidosis in kidney disorders, to “alkalinize” urine during bladder infections, and to minimize uric acid crystallization during gout treatment. It is frequently used to purify air inside refrigerators. We’ve all seen the opened box of baking soda in the fridge door, haven’t we? Keep a container of baking soda in your garage as well as in your car to put out a fire, since it will extinguish a fire without damaging anything else it touches. It also works as a deodorizer for carpets and other materials and can be used for laundry and as a household cleanser (when mixed with vinegar). The baking soda/vinegar mixture will even unclog drains! And if you have itchy bug bites, try using a poultice of baking soda and vinegar.

 Yes, baking soda is one of the most versatile substances that everyone should have in their medicine cabinet.

Many report success taking up to 1 tsp of baking soda in water each night before bed, it’s a great way to alkalize your body before bed. (Take a weekly break every month or so).

Cancer Success Story – Don Porter

“My Beating Stage IV Metastasized Prostate Cancer”

Cancer Success Story – Don Porter

I was diagnosed, in April 2007 with a 39.6 PSA & related tests (including a biopsy) that clearly identified  Metastasized Stage 4 Prostate Cancer to my left pelvic bone & received a 3-6 year death sentence from an MD.   I have had many people contact me saying that they wanted to hear how I did it.

After the rather significant overdose of medical negativeness, I concentrated on what is possible, having studied Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, David Williams, Tony Robbins, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Julian Whitaker, Verne Varona and reread my version of the bible, Confession of a Kamikaze Cowboy by Dirk Benedict.  Dirk earned a bit of notoriety/fame from his participation in the A-Team, Battlestar Gallactica, Charlie’s Angels, etc. I determined that we all enjoy a body that is a miraculous machine that must be aligned properly with a quality diet, exercise, quality liquids, deep breathing, organic foods, and minimum stress in a FAST paced society along with some occasional “TLC”.

I went on a strict macrobiotic/organic plant based diet. I embarked on a mission of wellness enhancement, engaged in/on a strict macrobiotic-organic diet, and in 8+ weeks dropped from 154 pounds,(@ 5’9”), to 132 , a 22 pound loss. I also discovered that it takes about 4 months to fully change our blood. Therefore, I remained on a modified organic/macrobiotic diet.  As my investigations (due diligence) indicated that my immune system was restored to a positive state, I kept searching for additional enhancement methods, protocols, herbs, nutrients, etc.

I finally found the baking soda and/ or cesium chloride experts that had experienced success in beating cancers. A good one was Vern (Vito) Johnston and his “common sense” protocol found on his internet site. My results were almost identical to Vern’s.  My PSA has been in the range of 0.1 – 0.4 for almost 10 months, with no residual effects from the April 2007 debilitating diagnosis!  I now am able to eat some “regular” meals & dinners from a menu at a normal American restaurant. I still concentrate on organic foods, brown rice, beans, various green veggies, and whole oats at breakfast, filtered water, deep breathing, walking 30 minutes a day, 8 hours of sleep, fruits, apricot seeds, chia seeds, goji berries, some herbs, a few special vitamins, and occasional baking soda. All of my efforts diet wise, breathing, water, green teas, etc. are to maintain a slight alkalinity.

My success was in large part due to the considerable assistance and contributions of my wife, Verne Varona (the world’s top macrobiotic counselor & author of several diet books including his latest – Macrobiotics for Dummies), Michio Kushi’s books, and many others. 

Chlorella Benefits – Superfood From The Ocean

The Chlorella benefits are absolutely amazing. This superfood has the HIGHEST Chlorophyll content known to man!

Chlorella Benefits – Superfood From The Ocean

It is considered a whole food due to its impressive protein and nutrient content.

Did you know… It also contains essential vitamins, minerals, and Omega 3’s!

Even more outstanding… Chlorella also helps eliminate toxins and metals in the body!

What Is Chlorella?

Chlorella is a single-celled micro-algae that has the highest chlorophyll content in the entire plant kingdom. It is one of the most amazing superfoods that anyone can take due to its blood-cleansing and blood-building properties. Chlorella promotes overall health due to its ability to balance the body’s organ systems by providing vital nutrients and much-needed alkalinity.

Chlorella Benefits in detail below:

Chlorella: An Amazing Source Of Nutrients

Chlorella is a micro-algae, but there is nothing miniscule about its properties and benefits. It is the best natural vegan food source of vitamin B 12. It is also ridiculously high in beta carotene, a vitamin A precursor that gives you strong immunity, clear eyesight, and healthy skin. It contains RNAs and DNAs not commonly present in plant foods. Chlorella is at least 50% protein and contains all the essential amino acids. It also contains the most famous growth factor that is usually added to children’s and teens’ supplements that support growth and development by promoting and accelerating height increase.

Great Detoxifier & Chelator

Chlorella is known to be a natural heavy metal chelator. It binds to heavy metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, aluminum, and cadmium and safely expels them out of your body. It has been also been observed to reduce dioxin in breast milk. Its highly cleansing and detoxifying properties give chlorella a great potential as a weight loss food.

Feed Your Heart

Chlorella is also used as a food remedy in reducing both high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol. It contains omega-3 essential fats and vitamin E, which in combination may improve cardiovascular health.

 Go Green

Chlorella is the greenest of the green. This is what makes this superfood so super. No plant contains as much chlorophyll as chlorella.

Helps Balance Your PH

Why is the phytochemical chlorophyll so crucial to human health? It builds the blood because iron is one of the primary components of chlorophyll foods. It also cleanses the blood by jacking up its oxygen levels, helping your blood stay within the very narrow healthy pH range of 7.35-7.45. The term ‘pH’ stands for potential of hydrogen. Having more hydrogen in your blood lowers its pH, so you must increase blood alkalinity by raising your oxygen levels. Chlorophyll does that for you.

It’s About Oxygen

When you have optimal oxygen levels in your blood your cells, tissues, and organs will be well-oxygenated too. That means enjoying superior health, because oxygen is our body’s primary need, not water or food. Harmful micro-organisms won’t be able to thrive in your body as well. Basic biology teaches us that microscopic baddies cannot survive in an oxygen-rich environment.

It Just Feels Right

Another side benefit of having an alkaline body pH is the euphoric feeling it produces. Foods high in chlorophyll heighten your sense of well-being by making you feel centered, grounded, and energized all at the same time. It is for these reasons why green foods are regarded as the most balancing foods on the planet.

And It Taste Great Too!

Chlorella may be a micro-algae but it tastes nothing like spirulina or blue-green algae. It actually tastes like cereal grass, which means it has a very pleasant green taste. In fact, a number of people even eat chlorella tablets like candies, something not commonly done with wheatgrass and barley grass tablets.

Breast Cancer and the Mammography

Now this is one topic that is blurred due to the confusing line between advertising and important scientific evidence. Thanks to Dr. Tim O’Shea for

Breast Cancer and Mammography

following very important information on the practice of mammography:

“As far back as 1976, the American Cancer Society itself and its government colleague, the National Cancer Institute, terminated the routine use of mammography for women under the age of 50 because of its ‘detrimental’ (carcinogenic) effects. More recently, a large study done in Canada found that women who had routine mammograms before the age of 50 also had increased death rates from breast cancer by 36%.”

“John McDougall, MD, has made a thorough review of pertinent literature on mammograms. He points out that the US$5–13 billion per year generated by mammograms controls the information that women get. Fear and incomplete data are the tools commonly used to persuade women to get routine mammograms. What is clear is that mammography cannot prevent breast cancer or even the spread of breast cancer. By the time a tumour is large enough to be detected by mammography, it has been there as long as 12 years! It is therefore ridiculous to advertise mammography as ‘early detection’.”(McDougall, p. 114)

“The other unsupportable illusion is that mammograms prevent breast cancer, which they don’t. On the contrary, the painful compression of breast tissue during the procedure itself can increase the possibility of metastasis by as much as 80%! Dr. McDougall notes that between 10% and 17% of the time, breast cancer is a self-limiting, non-life threatening type called ‘ductal carcinoma in situ’. This harmless cancer can be made active by the compressive force of routine mammography. (McDougall, p. 105)

“Most extensive studies show no increased survival rate from routine screening mammograms. After reviewing all available literature in the world on the subject, noted researchers Drs Wright and Mueller of the University of British Columbia recommended the withdrawal of public funding for mammography screening because the ‘benefit achieved is marginal, and the harm caused is substantial’. (Lancet, July 1, 1995)

The reason I posted this article is to show you the underlying deception between advertising and actual proven medical data. Which are you going to believe and are still ready to get a Mammography?
