It would create osmotic pressure on the cells.

There are several causes of cancer. IMO the major cause, in this day, are carcinogens in our toxic environment. The next major cause is virus. Many variants of virus. Take human papilloma virus for example. It is linked to several cancers. Destroy the virus to keep the cancers from forming in the first place. Then next on my list is fungus. Such as aspergillus causing liver cancer. However, I don't consider cancer being a fungus. I also don't believe it can be treated like a fungus. If so, you could inject lactic acid into the cancer; as acid will kill fungus. Acidity is a byproduct of cancer. It does not mean that cancer itself is acidic. Most anaerobic pathogens produce acid. Lactic acid.

Besides, sodium bicarbonate will be influenced by the hydrochloric acid in the stomach. The body has numerous redundant mechanisms to balance the pH. It even creates its own bicarbonate. When the sodium bicarbonate makes contact with stomach acid, it forms sodium chloride (table salt) and carbon dioxide. Sodium is considered acid forming. Carbon dioxide mixed with water form carbonic acid. Acid, acid, acid.

The best way to deliver alkalinity to the cancer cells is, IMO, ozone. Oxygen raises the pH - high pH is alkaline. The ozone will only be broken down into oxygen. You would need to find a doctor with knowledge of this therapy. Oxygen is a free radical. The body will try to adjust this.

Another cancer therapy is intravenous ascorbic acid. Acid, acid, acid.

I believe that it is the osmotic shock that will kill the cancer; not whether it is acid or alkaline.
