Content has long been circulating on social media claiming that cancer can be cured by mixing lemon, baking soda, and water. But to what extent is this true?
According to Italian oncologist Tulio Simoncini, cancer cells cannot reproduce in alkaline environments. When the body's pH is high and overly alkaline, there isn't enough oxygen for cancer cells to reproduce. Therefore, baking soda, like lemon, has the power to alkalize the body.

Some studies conducted with rats have shown that sodium bicarbonate, when injected into body tissues, can increase pH, delaying cancer development. In this logic, the mixture of alkaline substances, when in contact with the body, makes the body alkaline; however, they do not cure cancer. In theory, the alkaline environment prevents cells from developing.
However, there's no consistent theory proving that a mixture of lemon, water, and baking soda cures cancer. Searching online, you can find reports of people who used the mixture and achieved some positive results. The results are always the same: a delay in tumor development. This happens because, as Dr. Simoncini states, cancer cells don't reproduce in alkaline environments.
It's important to emphasize that when it comes to cancer, traditional treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy are still the most recommended and effective. According to reports, lemon combined with baking soda can be a great ally in relieving chemotherapy symptoms. Furthermore, some patients sentenced to one year of life have managed to increase their lifespan by taking the mixture.

Dr. Lair Ribeiro, a renowned cardiologist, argues that the more alkaline the human body is, the greater the chances of warding off disease. He even suggests that people always choose alkaline water, as it facilitates thousands of biological functions, combats hyperacidity, and reduces acidic toxins commonly associated with degenerative diseases.
Never skip a consultation with your oncologist. Never replace traditional cancer treatment with this mixture of water, lemon, and baking soda. If you choose to take it, consult your doctor. Never take any medications without medical advice. However, continue taking the appropriate cancer treatment recommended by your oncologist.
