Over two years ago, Vernon Johnson was diagnosed with prostate cancer that metastasized to his bones. He took his therapy into his own hands and researched natural treatments. He created his own treatment protocol by mixing sodium bicarbonate with molasses in water. The pH level of our internal fluids affects every cell in our body. Chronic over-acidity corrodes body tissue, and if left unchecked will interrupt all cellular activities and functions. In other words, over-acidity interferes with life itself.  Over-acidity is at the root of cancer and many diseases.  Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline body.
