I don't know if it is real but I have experienced and seen spontaneous healing. I had a precancerous breast lump and changed my diet and began my healing journey by saying "no" to the things that did not resonate with my personal integrity and values. I recommend seeing a doctor and continue educating yourself; the human body is a remarkable sacred temple (our first home) that embraces our soul with open arms when we respect it. Health is a human right and a personal responsibility and the journey into the mystery and science of the mind/body/earth connection is a privilege. The human journey is nothing less than a miraculous mystery and worth pondering and questioning all that you are passionate about. That being said there are forces including genetic and environmental that are constantly challenging our efforts to live fully and become fully self-actualized beings. And IMHO our lives are meant to be lived seamlessly and there is plenty of evidence that humans can transform and prevail through extreme obstacles and conditions. I've been a passionate health "freak" since my early teens after corrective scoliosis surgery from an S curvature spine that would have slowly crushed my lungs if gone unattended and without surgery. The technology and advancement in surgery for scoliosis and many other diseases have progressed tenfold. On the other hand my brother in-law had brain cancer (a glioblastoma ) and unfortunately his team of healers and doctors were not able to cure him of the disease, but science has come a long way in prolonging the life of those who have glios. And since his passing 8 years ago they are discovering new ways at stopping them from growing and terminating them altogether. He never tried the baking soda trick but I believe keeping your body and gut acids at a certain ph level can stop cancer from thriving. Cancer LOVES sugar so if you have too much of it in your diet it's wise to cut down on sugar especially fructose and many sugar substitutes. Soda is the worst thing you can drink so drink plenty of spring water, eat clean pesticide free fruits and veggies. There is plenty of evidence that diet is a key to good health and we are each slightly unique so learn what foods and amounts are good for you. Anyway, thank you for inspiring my long and winded comment I hope you find some value in it.
