Therefore, the answer to the question of what causes a degenerative disease can be found in the discipline that more than anything else has given lustre to medicine and which has promoted medicine from a mere practice to a science; that is, microbiology.

It is in fact clear that, with the exception of bacteriology, the state of knowledge in this field of research is still quite limited, especially when it comes to viruses, sub-viruses and fungi, whose pathogenic valence, unfortunately, is little known.

It is true that scholars have given more attention to these biological entities recently, and in fact, the concept of “innocuous co-existence” attributed to many parasites of the body has begun to be questioned with much greater conviction. More determination is needed, however, in this process of revision of microbiology so that the tight connection between micro-organisms and degenerative diseases can be clarified.

I believe that it is by focussing on just one of these shade areas – on mycology, the realm of fungi – that it will become possible to discover the correct answers to questions concerning the problem of tumours.

Much evidence indicates that this is the road to take: the analogy between psoriasis – an incurable disease of the skin that many treat as fungus – with tumours, which is also an incurable disease of the organism; the symptomatological overlapping of systemic candidosis and cancer; and the strict genetic relationship between mycetes and neoplastic masses. These are all elements that support and confirm the point of view that all types of cancer, as happens in the vegetal world, are caused by a fungus.

A fungus infection – that of the Candida species – could supply the explanation for why a tumour occurs; and it is in this direction that research should move in the attempt to solve the problem of cancer once and for all.

In my personal experience the only substance that is effective against diffused neoplasms is sodium bicarbonate. Years of parenteral administration -- that is, administration directly into the tissue through veins, arteries or in cavities, have shown that it is possible to obtain a regression of neoplastic masses in many patients, and sometimes resolve their state of disease up to the point of healing it.

It is the purpose of this book to explain this new, simple approach that fights a disease that is extremely devastating and variegated. It is my firm hope that soon, the fundamental role of fungi in the development of neoplastic disease is acknowledged, so that it is possible to find, with the help of all existing forces of the health establishment, those anti-mycotic drugs and those systems of therapy that can quickly defeat, without damage and suffering, a disease that brings so much devastation to humanity.
