Lemon cancer cure

You have to wonder about the power of the internet to propagate medical myths. This morning I received this one from a friend who asked me to comment....
"Lemon (Citrus ) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells . It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy .

Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations? As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer . It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders.
The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that: It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers , including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ... The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells."

My comment?
Show me the money! The money being the 20 tests they refer to. I feel strongly about emailed cancer cures. This is people's lives in deep distress we are talking to. What do you want them to do? Rush off and drink the juice of fifty lemons?

I would like to see the 20 tests referred to. I don't know how hydrochloric acid is going to alkalinize the body for one thing. Second, I would love to know how those studies got the lemon's hydrochloric acid to the tumor cells. I can see how the Vitamin C in the lemon can boost the immune system. One of the reasons for cells becoming malignant is that cells change/mutate all the time and if the immune system is not strong enough to knock them out cancer results. I can see that vitamin C can boost immunity, but I think we need some more strong proof and need to know how this lemon juice works before we can advise cancer patients to nix chemotherapy completely and go the lemon route. This is from an oncology registered nurse.
