Criticism

edit

Some criticism was directed to Mazzucco after his decision, starting in September 2008, to publicize an alternative cancer therapy based on sodium bicarbonate proposed by Italian ex-doctor Tullio Simoncini. Said therapy is currently unproven, and Simoncini was expelled from the Italian Medical Association after he was found guilty of fraud and manslaughter, since a patient died, accordingly as result of Simoncini's treatment.[3][4][5]
