After yesterday’s post about treatment decisions, how ironic that I got a call this afternoon urging me to have Laura drink alkaline water. Hadn’t I heard that cancer cells don’t survive in an alkaline environment?
I’ve got a bad sinus cold right now and my girls were tugging and whining. I muttered something about it not being worth our time. Cough. Sniffle. Thanks for your concern. Bye. Sigh.
I vaguely remember doing my due diligence on this topic last year. For the record, the theory is baseless (pun intended). For more information on the body’s acid-base balance and its association with cancer, see

    I live in CA and have been praying for your family through Karuna. She shared your website with me this eveing and it is good to see who I am praying for through the pictures of the family. Blessings to you.

    Wouldn’t it be “baseful” if you’re promoting an alkaline environment? And always remember, sharks don’t get cancer (my personal favorite work of cancer quackery). Sorry about your sinuses.
