Fiore, who is also CEO of a healthcare company, told listeners to her weekly radio show on Saturday, that she will soon introduce a “terminally ill bill,” to allow more non-FDA-approved treatments for those diagnosed as having terminal illnesses.
Fiore told listeners: “If you have cancer, which I believe is a fungus,
and we can put a pic line into your body and we’re flushing, let’s say,
salt water, sodium carbonate , through that line, and flushing out
the fungus… These are some procedures that are not FDA-approved in
America that are very inexpensive, cost-effective.” The American Cancer
Society warns
that while cancer patients whose immune systems are weakened by high
doses of chemotherapy can sometimes contract fungal infections, “there
is no evidence that anti-fungal treatment causes the patients’ tumors to
shrink.” Cancer Research UK dismisses the claim that sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can cure cancer as a debunked “persistent cancer myth.”Weeks after being removed from her position as Republican Majority Leader over allegations of more than $1 million in tax liens, Fiore made news last Wednesday for her assertion that “young, hot little girls on campus” need to be armed with guns to prevent themselves from being raped, saying that every citizen should “have the right to defend him or herself from sexual assault.”
In 2012, she proposed arming school officials and college students as a way of combating school shootings.
Although Fiore’s views on cancer are particularly fringe, the bill she is backing is gaining traction in a number of states. At least five states have now passed similar legislation that allows patients to use drugs not cleared by the FDA, dubbed so-called “right to try” bills. The campaign to pass these bills has been led by the libertarian Goldwater Institute.
