Tullio Simoncini claims that cancer is no more than a fungus – the fungus candida albicans to be precise – and that it can be cured with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) only. To explain the fungus, Simoncini argues this is due to “excess acidity” of the body, which allows the fungus free rein.

This opinion is not compatible with knowledge of modern medicine. There is no scientific evidence to underpin this hypothesis lacks scientific evidence, and scientific studies showing any positive effect of this treatment are also non-existent. His opinion may be compared to the opinions of Bavarian physician [[Alfons Weber]], who was convinced that cancer originates from protozoe, and consequently treated his cancer patients with anti-malaria drugs - to no effect. He also believed in the [[Historic Pleomorphism]] concept of 19th/20th century.

The sodium bicarbonate therapy according to Simoncini was met with uncritical resonance in [[NEXUS Magazine]]<ref>NEXUS Magazin&nbsp;13, October-November 2007</ref> and was advertised in Germany by the association [[Menschen gegen Krebs]] of former nurse [[Lothar Hirneise]]<ref>Zitat: ''Dieses Seminar ist offen für alle Interessenten, jedoch besonders geeignet für Ärzte und Heilpraktiker. Dr.&nbsp;Simoncini wird dabei alle Krebsarten im Detail besprechen. Das Seminar ist strukturiert aufgebaut, so dass jeder Teilnehmer in die Praxis seiner Therapie eingeweiht wird und erfährt, wie man diese sofort umsetzen kann.''&nbsp;[http://www.dgk-buoch.de/simoncini.pdf]</ref> and was taught during a payable workshop by this association. The Simoncini Doctrine is advertised in several languages via the private website of Simoncini hosted in the Netherlands.
