After several deaths occurred following a sodium bicarbonate therapy, Simoncini was sued by families of the victims. He lost his medical approbation and was convicted of fraud in three cases and of wrongful death in one case in 2003. His brother, Angelo Simoncini (also a physician), was convicted of fraud, too. His name has also been cancelled from the list of Italian accredited physicians.<ref>http://application.fnomceo.it/Fnomceo/public/visioneProfessionisti.ot?page=1&rowsPerPage=30]</ref><br><br><br>

==First known victims==
 +
The first victim to be known was Massimo Civetta, a 34 year old man diagnosed with terminal intestinal cancer. After an infusion with sodium bicarbonate, his bowels perforated and he died. Simoncini was convicted to 3 years in jail for manslaughter. He was not convicted for causing the deaths of Maria Grazia Canegrate and Grace Cicciari, in these cases he was just convicted for fraud.<ref>[http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2006/maggio/21/Medico_condannato_omicidio_colposo_co_10_060521029.shtml Medico condannato: omicidio colposo], Corriere della sera</ref>

Another victim, a U.S. citizen, was diagnosed with a likely glioblastoma near his speech center and his family paid approximately 28,000 Euros to Simoncini. In the course of treatment the patient developed a massive brain hemorrhage and suffered a heart attack. Subsequently he was declared brain dead, and life support was removed.<ref>[http://anaximperator.wordpress.com/2008/11/09/simoncini-scam-murderer/ Tullio Simoncini: sCAM murderer?]</ref><ref>[http://anaximperator.wordpress.com/2009/08/01/continued-simoncini-scam-murderer/ Continued: Simoncini sCAM Murderer?]</ref>

 +
Bouwman, a Dutch citizen, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and advised to take conventional therapy. She decided to go with Simoncini's therapy instead. After several injections of sodium bicarbonate, Simoncini declared her completely cured. Bouwman became a passionate advertiser of his methods. A few months later, Marjolein learned Simoncini had deceived her and that she had not been cured at all. At that time, her tumour had already metastasized extensively. She died November 2, 2008. Marjolein was only 25 years old and the mother of a young son.<ref>[http://anaximperator.wordpress.com/2008/12/07/young_mother_marjolein_dies/ Marjolein Dies of Ovarian Cancer After Being Treated with Sodium Bicarbonate by Tullio Simoncini]</ref>

 +
==Aysha==
 +
A young Italian woman named Aysha was diagnosed with cancer in her right breast in 2006 (she had been diagnosed with cancer in her left breast in 2004 and received conventional treatment then)  and decided for a treatment with Simoncini. She became a member of an alternative medicine forum dedicated to Simoncini's methods and was treated nicely at first. However, when her health declined and she developed sores and open wounds,  said "I see no improvement at all, the whole area is red and it reaches almost to the left side.", and started to doubt the treatment, behaviour towards Aysha changed.
 +
 
 +
Employees of Simoncini, who were among the forum members, insinuated that Aysha did not follow Simonicini's treatment correctly and was inventing allegations to put the blame on Simoncini. As they contended, if someone did not recover, it had to be their own fault. When, after consulting her oncologist, she started to ask inconvenient questions, she was banned and most of her postings deleted.

Aysha died in October 2008.<ref>[http://anaximperator.wordpress.com/2009/04/13/aysha-and-tullio-simoncini/ Young Breast Cancer Patient Aysha and Tullio Simoncini's Baking Soda Therapy]</ref><ref>[http://medbunker.blogspot.com/2009/03/che-male-vuoi-che-facciaii-parte.html Che male vuoi che faccia… (II parte)], MedBunker, Italian</ref>

 +
Robert Fyvie, from Musselburgh (Scotland), was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2006 which was removed by an operation. The tumour spread to his liver and was rated inoperable. Fyvie rejected chemotherapy, declaring it would weaken his immune system, and spent 12 weeks in Thailand taking herbal medicines instead. In the end, doctors gave him between six and, at the most, eight months to live.
 +
In a last-ditch effort, Mr Fyvie's family and friends raised € 10,000 for treatment by Simoncini and sent him to Rome. After 5 months, Roberty Fyvie, aged 54, died August 6, 2010. The family was devastated because the treatment didn't prolong his life at all.<ref>[http://www.eastlothiancourier.com/news/roundup/articles/2010/08/12/403514-well-miss-you-dad/ We'll miss you, dad], Sam Berkeley, East Lothian Courier</ref><ref>[http://medbunker.blogspot.com/2010/11/nuova-testimonianza-sulle-cure-di.html Nuova testimonianza sulle cure di Simoncini]</ref>

[[image:800px-Brian_Haw.jpg|Brian William Haw(gest. 18.&nbsp;Juni&nbsp;2011)|thumb]]
 
English pacifist Brian William Haw died of lung cancer on June 18, 2011. He spent the last months of his life at an unknown location in Berlin where he was treated with the method of Simoncini as well as with [[Vitamin-C-infusions]]. According to information from English press, [[Conspiracy theory|conspiracy theorist]] and author [[David Icke]] influenced him to be medicated with a "revolutionary treatment". Icke appealed for funds for the treatment on his site, since patients have to bear the costs of the treatment due to its ineffectiveness.<ref>http://blog.psiram.com/?p=3432</ref>
