The '''Sodium Bicarbonate Therapy according to Tullio Simoncini''' (internally known also as ''bica'') is a [[Pseudomedicine|pseudomedical]] cancer therapy which must be considered as one of the most ineffective and absurd methods claiming to cure cancer patients. This method is worthless for the patient and at the same time extremely expensive.

The inventor, the former Italian physician '''Tullio Simoncini''', has been convicted as several death cases occured after applying his "Sodium Bicarbonate Therapy", and he lost his medical licence. His opinon that cacner was triggered by fungi  (cancer as a mycosis) is not compatible with knowledge of modern medicine. This hypothesis lacks scientific evidence, and scientific studies showing any positive effect of this treatment are also not existant. His opinion may be compared to the opinions of Bavarian physician [[Alfons Weber]] who was convinced that cancer would originate from protozoe, and who therefore in vain treated his cancer patients with anti-malaria drugs. He also believed in the [[Historic Pleomorphism]] concept of 19th/20th century.
