Disrupting the Cancer Cell Micro-environment

To understand why some tissues in the body are deficient in oxygen and therefore prone to cancer, it is helpful to understand the nature of acidity and alkalinity. Cancerous tissues are acidic, whereas healthy tissues are alkaline. Water (H2O) decomposes into H+ and OH-. When it contains more H+ and OH-, then it is said to be acidic. When it contains more OH- than OH+, then it is said to be alkaline.

When oxygen enters an acid solution it can combine with H+ ions to form water. Oxygen helps to neutralize the acid, while at the same time the acid prevents oxygen from reaching the tissues that need it. Acidic tissues are devoid of free oxygen. An alkaline solution is just the reverse. In other words, an alkaline solution can provide oxygen to the tissues. Blood, lymph and cerebral spinal fluid in the human body are designed to be slightly alkaline at a pH of 7.4. Research has shown that at a pH slightly above 7.4, cancer cells become dormant, and at pH 8.5 cancer cells will die while healthy cells will live.

The large amount of oxygen atoms carried by BACO creates an oxygen-rich environment at the Micro-environmental level, augmenting the normal immune cell defense Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), or Oxidative Burst, without collateral damage surrounding to healthy cells. Pathogens thrive in an acidic environment. An alkaline environment is detrimental to the life cycle of pathogens. BACO provides the only safe, harmless means of maintaining an alkaline environment, while at the same time rendering the body free of any and all pathogens.
