Seriously David Icke?

19.12.2010 13:34

If there was ever evidence the anti-war movement and it's supporters were nuts it's David Icke making appeals...

Are you sure the treatment isn't a plan by the reptilian lizardmen to assassinate him?

Rofl-copter


"for him to have revolutionary treatment"

David Icke is probably being paid to promote this new age clinic. Don't let Brian have great cancer treatment that is available for free in this country, send him abroad to die in a private money making sham clinic abroad. This is disgusting.

David Icke is no doubt being paid to promote this new age clinic. Don't let Brian have great cancer treatment that is available for free in this country, send him abroad to die in a private money making sham clinic abroad. 'Donate Now!' This is disgusting and is the reality of the so called 'truth movement' that surround poor Brian.

Shen Clinic means death for Brian

19.12.2010 22:27

this fraudulent so called clinic offers only the egoist delusions of madmen, there is no cure for cancer there - only magical thinking that cures NOTHING,

Whoever has persuaded Brian Haw to refuse proven treatment on the NHS in favour of this has signed his death warrant.

Be Wary of Simoncini Cancer Therapy
Rob Koene, M.D., Ph.D.
Sophie Josephus Jitta

Tullio Simoncini claims that cancer is caused by a fungus and can be cured with the administration of sodium bicarbonate. There is no scientific evidence to support this claim, and there is good reason to believe that the treatment is dangerous.

In October 2007, a charge was brought against the Clinic for Preventive Medicine (CPM) in Bilthoven, the Netherlands. This clinic houses a mixture of small enterprises, where physicians and nonphysicians offer a great variety of "alternative" treatments. A 50-year- old patient with breast cancer who was treated at this clinic was admitted to the emergency department of the University Medical Center of the Free University of Amsterdam, where she died within a few days. The attending physician refused to sign a death certificate, because the patient had died from a non-natural cause. It appeared that Simoncini had treated treated her at the Bilthoven clinic with injections and infusions of sodium bicarbonate. The clinic medical director denied any involvement, but two tenacious journalists of the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant succeeded in finding out what had happened. The Public Prosecutor and the Netherlands Health Care Inspectorate have opened an investigation of the case.

Because one of us (SJJ) is fluent in Italian, we could extensively search Italian Web sites for information on Simoncini's background. Currently living in Rome, he has been using unsubstantiated cancer treatments for 15 years. He calls himself a specialist in diabetes and metabolic diseases, but in 2003, his license to practice medicine was withdrawn, and in 2006 he was convicted by an Italian judge for wrongful death and swindling. This has not stopped him from continuing to provide his controversial treatments, not only in Italy, but apparently also in foreign countries, such as the Netherlands. He has appealed his conviction, but we could not find information on the status of this appeal on Italian Web sites.

Simoncini claims that cancer is “simply” an infection (il cancro è un fungo) caused by Candida albicans, an opportunistic fungus. He claims that this intruder causes formation of cysts and an uncontrolled cell division in several organs, such as the liver and lungs. To eliminate fungal colonies, he administers sodium bicarbonate by intravenous infusion, by mouth, or even with intra-arterial catheters close to the tumor site. Simoncini claims that the tumors will become smaller and subsequently disappear completely in half of patients thus treated. He does not give any proof for this and has never published any data in a scientific journal. He also claims that the treatment is not dangerous, because sodium bicarbonate is also used in standard medical procedures. He fails to mention that this treatment is applied only in patients with definite disturbances of water and mineral metabolism and under meticulous clinical supervision. The highly concentrated solutions that he administers within a short period can disturb the mineral balance in the body and lead to serious and even fatal complications.

Based on expert reports of two physicians, the Dutch Health Care Inspectorate has concluded that Simoncini's treatment is dangerous and should not be administered. Here is a translation of its news release:News from the Netherlands Health Inspectorate February 4, 2008:

The Administration of Sodium Bicarbonate to Cancer Patients is Hazardous.

The infusion of sodium bicarbonate to vulnerable patients is hazardous and ineffective. This is the conclusion of two expert physicians who wrote reports on request of The Netherlands Health Inspectorate (Inspectie voor de Gezondheidszorg, IGZ). The IGZ asked them for advice when in 2007 a patient with cancer died in the Free University Medical Centre in Amsterdam after she had received sodium bicarbonate in a clinic in Bilthoven. Currently, the clinic has, under the pressure of the IGZ, stopped administering this therapy and will not restart it. In the meantime it has not been firmly established that the patient has died as a consequence of the sodium bicarbonate administration. The Public Prosecutor is still investigating this.

Based on the expert report, the IGZ has first of all reached the conclusion that there are no scientific data that justify the administration of sodium bicarbonate to patients with cancer for other indications than described in the official prescription information. There is no scientific proof whatsoever showing that this therapy cures or can slow its progress.

The IGZ concludes that the administration of sodium bicarbonate even has risks for patients with high blood pressure, patients with diseases of lungs, heart, or kidneys and for patients with cancer. This is certainly the case if a number of specific blood levels are not monitored daily before, during and after the treatment. The balance of the body can become completely disturbed when large amounts are administered. In severely ill patients, this may lead to organ damage. In sick people, there is in fact irresponsible health care if this product is administered without monitoring.

Given these risks and because there is no scientific basis for the effectiveness of sodium bicarbonate apart from the registered indications, the IGZ concludes that physicians should not apply this treatment. If physicians administer these despite this warning and/or the IGZ receives reports of cases thereof, the reports will of course be investigated, whereby the aforementioned considerations will play an important role. The IGZ will not hesitate to inform the Disciplinary Medical Board.

Shen & Simoncini worse than useless

Keep him here

19.12.2010 22:38

Yes, we here at Big Pharma have all the best cures for Cancer. Keep Brian here where it's free. (Well, apart from the billions of NHS money that goes straight into my pockets for my dodgy drugs that just slightly prolong the life of cancer sufferers while poisoning their systems so badly their own immune systems don't have the slightest chance of curing them).

There's certainly no published research of these Italian charlatans. We make sure of that by controlling all the advertising revenue of every major medical journal. Heaven forbid any journals publishing favourable results from Quacks like these.

I'm glad to see all you Indymedia readers are on our side. Just for a moment there I thought a radical non-hierarchical open publishing website would be full of people we like to label Cranks, so that they can't threaten our profits, but happily our allopathic mantra is alive and well even amongst you hippies.

Anyone else for cancer? Got to keep our profits up! Whoops, I mean cure people for free in the NHS.

Right I'm off to the golf club. Suckers.

Shen Clinic's Simoncini convicted for fraud and wrongful death

19.12.2010 22:59



On October 8, 2007 a Dutch breast cancer patient died in the Netherlands after she was treated with sodium bicarbonate injections by Tullio Simoncini. The cascade of events is subject to investigation by the department of public prosecution/the police and the Netherlands Health Care Inspectorate.
In his home country, Tullio Simoncini was banned from his medical profession for life. Also, he was convicted for fraud and wrongful death in 2003. For several years he has been practising alternative medicine in Italy and the Netherlands. Sometimes he rents room in ‘the Clinic for Preventive Medicine Berg en Bosch in Bilthoven’, Utrecht region, Netherlands. In this clinic, several alternative healers provide scientifically unproven therapies for cancer.


In December 2006, 58 year old Sylvia was diagnosed with breast cancer and was advised to undergo conventional therapy. She decided to give it a thought and visited several other doctors. Finally, she met Tullio Simoncini, who now states she never started sodium bicarbonate treatment with him.

According to her partner, Simoncini flew to the Netherlands and started treating Sylvia with intratumoral sodium bicarbonate injections, with the help of an assistant. Sylvia received up to 20 injections in her breast tumor. Shortly thereafter she became sick and in a nearly dead state was towed out of her appartment by the fire department and presented at the first aid department of the Free University Medical Center of Amsterdam. There she died of metabolic alkalosis related disease soon after. The attending internist refused to sign the documents for a natural death and contacted the police. An autopsy revealed that Sylvia did not die of breast cancer. She had several injection spots on her blue and swollen mutilated breast.

Upon being contacted by the media in Italy, Simoncini claimed repeatedly that Sylvia had not been treated by him with sodium bicarbonate. However, several people, including personnel from the preventive clinic, confirm that she was treated by Simoncini. Simoncini’s anonymous support group frustrates news coverage in the media and tries to downgrade the event – ‘Your news will last for a day or two, we will always be there.’

That Simoncini is not in prison, is because just after his conviction, Berlusconi issued a general pardon for sentences from 1 to 4 years. The pardon stipulates that although the convictions stand, the persons who have received such a sentence need not go to prison. So Simoncini has escaped his punishment.

Quackers


Free Brian from these parasites

19.12.2010 23:02

Brian the state couldnt get you but these CONspiracy quacks will do it for them, with friends like these etc,,,

Who benefits?


Big Pharma are scum, true, but Simoncini is either nuts or a deliberate fraud

20.12.2010 11:20

I agree that Big Pharma are scum, but that doesn't mean to every "alternative" quack out there is automatically right. You only have to read a bit about Simoncini to see he is completely nuts (either that or completely sane and being deliberately fraudulent, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt).

His basic idea is that cancer doesn't work the way everyone knows it works (cell duplication going haywire), but is instead a kind of fungus growing inside the body. And that is can be cured by injecting people with baking powder (sodium bicarbonate)! Seriously.

Thousands of people examine cancerous cells every day under microscopes and by other means and are perfectly certain it isn't a fungus.

It's just too much of a conspiracy theory to think that Simoncini alone has the answer and all the other thousands of people are being paid off by Big Pharma. They are only interested in making money, so if cancer was just a fungus, they would switch to making money out of cancer by providing anti-fungal treatments.
