In June 1996 clinical history begins
for a patient affected by a polyp
formation with a diameter of
28 x 21 mm.
A twice-yearly
check-up program is begun, during
which continuous endoscopic resections
are performed as well as instillation
cycles with mitomicine and BCG.
The neoplastic
formations continue to reproduce
constantly, and not only that: in
February 2001 surgery is performed to
remove the left kidney because of a
renal tumour of the pelvis. An intra-vesical
instillation therapy is proposed
again, but the therapy must be
suspended in May 2001 because of
intolerance.
At this point an
understandable mistrust on the
continuation of a conventional
treatment arises. Upon suggestion of
an homeopathic doctor in Florence who
obtained positive results in a test
for Candida, I am contacted to attempt
a new therapy.
After 15 months of
vesical “rinsing” performed in cycles
with sodium bicarbonate at 5% solution
and oral administration of the same
substance, the patient is doing well,
and has not undergone painful
instillations for over one year.
Furthermore, lab tests turn out
negative for neoplastic disease and,
most importantly, the fear and the
anguish for the danger of the disease
attacking the other kidney begins to
disappear.
In the UCS (cystoscopic)
report of September 18, 2002, where
the diagnosis and the previous
nephrectomy intervention is reported
as well, we read: “No repetitive
lesions”. (figure 1, 2)

Declaration of the
patient’s daughter:
“I, the
undersigned, G... P..., born in ...,
living in ..., declare the following
as to my personal experience
concerning the doctor-patient
relationship of my father and Dr.
Tullio Simoncini.
On my own
initiative I contacted Dr. Simoncini
by phone in May 2001 after the
nephroureterectomy operation my
father underwent in February 2001, as
he was affected by vesical neoplasia,
first seen in June 1996 and since then
continuously treated with alternating
and repeated cycles of endovesical
chemotherapy, followed by repeated
vesical resections due to continuous
relapse (vesical neo-formations).
Even after the
last intervention, another endovesical
chemotherapy cycle was proposed once
again, and this time was interrupted
voluntarily by my father at the
seventh application because of
intolerance, as stated by the medical
report. In reality my father not only
was no longer able to physically
tolerate these specific applications,
but in general was no longer willing
to undergo the series of treatments
that had been applied, given the
discouraging outcome and the stress of
constant physical and psychological
suffering.
I then convinced
my father to try a new approach to the
disease, the homeopathic one. In this
way, we got to the cyclic endovesical
instillations with sodium bicarbonate
solution that started in September
2001 as proposed by Dr. Simoncini. He
visited my father at home upon my
specific request. The doctor was
available for that and satisfied in
that way, my father’s expectations, by
avoiding any traumatic discomfort and
by ensuring the most favourable
situation for the physical and
psychological comfort of the patient.
Since then, I
have constantly and systematically
stayed in phone contact with Dr.
Simoncini, who has always been
available. During those contacts, I
kept him informed as to developments
of the status of my father’s disease,
and on the progress of the therapy,
after the doctor examined the
laboratory and diagnostic reports
following the cycles of endovesical
instillation of sodium bicarbonate
solution.
All of the above
has been performed without demand for
any compensation or professional fee
except for one payment for the first
house call, for which [the doctor]
issued a regular invoice.
I would like to
highlight that the aforementioned
examination and endoscopic checkups
have always been performed, through
ambulatory visits or hospitalisation,
with periodic scheduling at the
department of urology of the civil
hospital of the city where my father
has been treated since the beginning
of the disease.
Dr. Simoncini
has always been, since the beginning
of this relationship, of exemplary
correctness, clarity and transparency
concerning the information on the
method of approach to the disease and
on the nature of the proposed therapy.
The therapy was
centred, on one hand, on a diet that
changed as time went on, and on the
other hand on cycles of endovesical
instillations with sodium bicarbonate
solution that was available in
drugstores and could be administered
in the house of the patient, without
need for hospitalisation, since we
stated our availability to function as
nurses as needed for the treatment
with the catheter.
I must also
recognise to Dr. Simoncini a clear
human sensitivity and a shared
solidarity towards my father,
especially by encouraging him to lead
a normal life, while delicately
sharing at the same time my original
choice to keep my father uninformed
about the true nature of his disease –
a vesical carcinoma – for the mere
knowledge of that would have surely
devastated him, given his subjective
psychological fragility.
It is over
one-and-a-half years now that we have
not seen relapsing and vesical
neo-formations through constant and
systematic endoscopic examinations and
without the need to turn to
chemotherapy. My father is well from
the physical and psychological point
of view, and in a condition of full
well-being.
This is intended
to be my testimonial concerning the
case of the disease of my father, and
a recognition of the behaviour and the
correct professional conduct of Dr.
Tullio Simoncini as well as concerning
this specific case of the positive
effects and results of the new
therapeutic approach that has been
adopted.
Faithfully,
G… P…
