♦ Cancer “loves” sugar - and mixing and heating alkaline bicarbonate of soda (BS) with sugar-rich maple syrup, binds the two together such that the maple syrup targets the “sugar hungry” cancer cells (which consume 15x more glucose than normal cells), and thus “sneakily”also carries the baking soda into the cells, as if inside a proverbial maple syrup “Trojan horse”.
♦ The alkalinity of the baking soda either:
(i) Kills the cancer microbe (or reverts it to its hibernation form) inside the cancer cell, such that the cell reverts to normal (If you accept the microbial theory of cancer)
or
(ii) Has an alkalizing effect forcing a rapid pH shift that kills the cell – The shock wave of alkalinity allows more oxygen into the cancer cells than they can tolerate.
♦ Cancer cell is reverted or eliminated before the sugar delivery can cause cancer cell growth
♦ The maple syrup enables and increases penetration of bicarbonate into most compartments of body - including the central nervous system (CNS), (through the blood-brain barrier), joints, solid tumors, and perhaps even the eyes, areas which are otherwise difficult to penetrate (Sugar/glucose is a universal requirement of all body cells). Similar to INSULIN Potentiation Therapy (IPT), the maple syrup will make cell membranes and tissues more permeable.

♦ Manipulation of tumor pH with sodium bicarbonate enhances some forms of chemotherapy - also pre-treatment of mice with sodium bicarbonate results in the alkalinization of the area around tumors.

♦ Sodium bicarbonate therapy is an ideal concurrent treatment with chemotherapy or radiation:
- Chemotherapy – bicarbonate protects the body from the toxic chemotherapy chemicals
- Radiation – bicarbonate protects the kidneys and other body tissues from radioactive damage
♦ For greatest effect in cancer (and kidney disease), you should ALWAYS add Magnesium Chloride Therapy - together, the two make a powerful team.
