Sodium Bicarbonate is not a base.
It doesn’t radically change body pH. Its a buffer, and that is why is is extremely effective against cancer.

“Sodium bicarbonate is an amphoteric compound. Aqueous solutions are very mildly alkaline”
“Sodium bicarbonate can be used as a wash to remove any acidic impurities from a crude liquid”
“Sodium bicarbonate mixed with water can be used as an antacid to treat acid indigestion and heartburn. Its reaction with stomach acid produces salt, water, and carbon dioxide”
“Since sodium bicarbonate can cause alkalosis, it is sometimes used to treat aspirin overdoses.”
“Intravenous sodium bicarbonate is an aqueous solution that is sometimes used for cases of acidosis, or when insufficient sodium or bicarbonate ions are in the blood. In cases of respiratory acidosis, the infused bicarbonate ion drives the carbonic acid/bicarbonate buffer of plasma to the left and, thus, raises the pH.”
“Some alternative practitioners, such as Tullio Simoncini, have promoted baking soda as a cancer cure, which the American Cancer Society has warned against due to both its unproven effectiveness and potential danger in use.”
“Tullio Simoncini is an Italian former physician and alternative medicine advocate. He holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from La Sapienza University. He is known for claiming that cancer is caused by the fungus Candida albicans, and has gone so far as to say that cancer is actually a form of candida overgrowth. He also says that cancer can be cured with injections of sodium bicarbonate. He says that he was formerly an oncologist, but that he was struck off because he prescribed sodium bicarbonate instead of conventional chemotherapy.”
“Simoncini was tried and found guilty of fraud and manslaughter in 2006 after a patient died after using Simoncini’s treatment.”
