My father aged 86 yrs is detected with AML. I find from net that lemon with baking soda prevents growth of cancer. Is that correct? At present he is undergoing chemo.

Hi Debasish, thank you for writing in. Blood cancers are difficult. We have not found any evidence on lemon with baking soda preventing growth of cancer. AML can grow fairly aggressively. So it would be best to follow the protocol suggested by your oncologist.

But chemotherapy can be difficult and even more so for a person of your father's age. Please read Dr. Shital's recommendations on managing side effects: http://www.patientsengage.com/conditions/managing-side-effects-chemothe…

Please write in if you need more clarifications. Best wishes to your father from Team PatientsEngage
