      He really isn't understanding what I'm trying to say to him. THIS IS NOT THE SAME THING as what the quacks are claiming.https://twitter.com/larshaakon/status/963065503085400066 …

      What is your view on the research by Dr Robert Gillies of Moffitt then? Is it just quackery? And this trial, also just quackery: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4970867/ … ? PS: Like you, I certainly don't condone unsupported claims that a treatment works, unless backed by evidence.

      Gotta go now. but it seems we don't understand each other. I like the research of Dr Gillies & co. Interesting area. And, as you know, it does indicate that sodium bicarbonate or other alkaline treatments *could* be beneficial for cancer patients. More evidence needed of course.

      As a fellow cancer patient, I implore you to learn more about this and consider the input from *actual* cancer researchers & oncologists before you continue this crusade that tragically looks an awful lot like you're endorsing "alkaline treatment" for cancer. Misleading & harmful

      I have read the research on it, and I am an actual cancer researcher. If you read my tweets as an endorsement of alkaline treatments, then please read again.

      They sure sounded like it to me. At the very least you conflated legitimate cancer research with alkaline diet and alkalinization cancer quackery. I suspect this is because you are not ad familiar with what the quacks actually do and say as we are.

          You're probably right. I generally dislike unsupp. claims. Sadly there is a tendency by many oncologists to conflate absence of evidence for evidence of absence. That hinders intelligent debate about what we know, what we don't know and what may be worth trying if you're terminal
