The '''Sodium Bicarbonate Therapy according to Tullio Simoncini''' (internally known also as ''bica'') is a [[Pseudomedicine|pseudomedical]] cancer therapy which must be considered 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 '''Sodium Bicarbonate Cancer Therapy according to Tullio Simoncini''' (internally known also as ''bica'') is a [[Pseudomedicine|pseudomedical]] cancer therapy which must be considered 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 occurred after applying his "Sodium Bicarbonate Therapy", and he lost his medical license. His opinion that cancer 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 existent. 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.
