Originally from my Dad, who has had prostate cancer and researched alternative therapies and he settled on one that uses hormones. It cured him- he is free of cancer now and it's been something like 6 years since his treatments. He didn't want surgery, and he didn't want chemo. So he keeps up on all the alternative therapies, and he found the one on the baking soda cure. He sent it to me, and honestly since then I see it everywhere. On Facebook, in blogs, even in some articles. My doctor has me taking baking soda -not for cancer, but because I tend to be acidic and it was causing me to have a burning bladder and once she put me on baking soda it helped unbelievably. I can now sleep for about 6 hours at a time without having to get up, which is a miracle considering I used to get up every hour on the hour. Anyway, I digress. This is from the email he sent me, with the recipe he uses (and the recipe my Aunt and her friend use):

You take 3 tablespoons of maple syrup to 1 of baking soda (you should use about 12 tbsp of syrup and 4 of baking soda to make enough of the mixture). Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes, stirring continually. Take 1 teaspoon twice a day for a week.
The idea behind it is this: cancer cells need to be acid. Making the body alkaline kills them. Normal cells will be unaffected, therefore no side effects. Straight baking soda would not be accepted by the cancer cells, therefore the need for the maple syrup (probably any sweet syrup would work, but maple helps make it taste a little better!) which the cancer cells will take in, along with the acidic baking soda (apparently the simmering and stirring breaks the baking soda down into small enough particles to enter the cells).
