The box of cancer killing powder in your refrigerator

The statistics when it comes to cancer in our country are not just frightening, they are staggering. This year alone, there are projected to be 1,735,350 new cancer cases and 609,640 cancer deaths in the United States.

And, if the worry that you or a loved one could end up as one of those statistics isn’t enough, the costs and side effects of cancer treatment are enough to send anyone running for the hills.

After all, when it comes to cancer the cure (all of the toxic compounds pumped into your body during chemotherapy and radiation that’s a known cancer causer itself) can be as bad as the disease. That’s of course if you can afford it since experts are now warning of the “financial toxicity” that comes with round after round of cancer treatment that could go on for years if the disease returns.

Luckily, according to a new study, there is a way to not only fight off cancer but also improve the chances that any cancer treatment you may need will be successful.

And, it’s not some big expensive drug or dangerous chemical. You don’t even need a prescription to buy it.

In fact, it’s probably sitting in your refrigerator right this very minute…

Shuts off cancer cell growth

What is it?

You know that box of baking soda you may only use a few times a year or just to control food odors? Well, it turns out that you’ve been missing its most important function.

That’s because according to scientists at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, simply adding baking soda to your water can cause cancer cells to shut down.

Sound too good to be true?

Well, stick with me because we’re going to go through the science…

The researchers found that when cells in your body are starved of oxygen, they become increasingly acidic. When this happens, a critical molecular switch known as mTORC1 (one that tells cells when to stop growing and dividing), stops working and cancer cell growth takes off.

But, when you drink baking soda in your water, it shifts those cells out of that acidic state and flips that molecular switch right back on to halt cancer cells in their tracks.

Not bad for a $3 box of baking soda, right?

So, how does it work?

Your body’s pH

It all comes down to the pH of your body. If you have a low pH, you’re acidic, while a higher pH is alkaline.

Considering that just going from acidic to a more alkaline state can actually stop cancer, it’s unsurprising that past studies have shown that alkalizing your body can do everything from lowering your risk of kidney disease to helping you live longer.

And, the study we talked about is not the only scientific proof that acidity breeds cancer. In fact, previous scientific studies have demonstrated the power of an alkalizing your body when it comes to defeating cancer.

They couldn’t prove why it worked and thanks to this new study, we are left without a shadow of a doubt.

On top of drinking baking soda in water, other ways to alkalize your system include:

• Drink alkaline water – You can buy alkaline water at grocery stores and from alkalized water dealers or buy a water alkalizer for your home. You can also try adding 1/4 teaspoon to eight ounces of water. Don’t drink water with baking soda within two hours of taking medications as the change in stomach acid can affect how your body absorbs medicine.
• Eat an alkaline diet – The foods you eat are either alkaline or acidic so if you’re trying to shift your body out of an acidic state, watch your diet. Increase the amounts of fresh, organic fruits and vegetable you eat and eat meat (especially if it’s not grass-fed) in moderation only. And, be sure to avoid foods that are highly processed and high in sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. This pretty much includes anything in the center aisles of the grocery store.

The power to defeat cancer and keep your body healthy is in your hands (or in your refrigerator). Alkalize your body using baking soda, the proper water and through the foods you eat to turn off the cellular switch that causes cancer cells to grow to live a healthier life.
