Mass spectrographic and isotope studies have shown that
potassium, rubidium, and especially cesium are most
efficiently taken up by cancer cells. This uptake was enhanced
by Vitamins A and C as well as salts of zinc and selenium. The
quantity of cesium taken up was sufficient to raise the cell
to the 8 pH range. Where cell mitosis ceases and the life of
the cell is short. Tests on mice fed cesium and rubidium
showed marked shrinkage in the tumor masses within 2 weeks. In
addition, the mice showed none of the side effects of cancer.
Tests have been carried out on over 30 humans. In each case
the tumor masses disappeared. Also all pains and effects
associated with cancer disappeared within 12 to 36 hr; the
more chemotherapy and morphine the patient had taken, the
longer the withdrawal period. Studies of the food intake in
areas where the incidences of cancer are very low showed that
it met the requirements for the high pH therapy.

Cancer therapy.....Cesium.....High
pH.....Pain.....Potassium.....Rubidium.....Tumor.....Vitamins

The High pH Therapy for cancer was arrived at from an
extensive series of physical experiments. These involved the
isotope effect across membranes of many types, normal plant
and animal, embryonic, cancer, and synthetic. It also involved
mass spectrographic analyses of membranes and cells, as well
as fluorescence and phosphorescence decay studies of many
types of cells and parts thereof. It is the thesis of this
paper that the results obtained throw a direct light upon the
mechanism of carcinogenesis, and also indicate a therapy.
Tests on both mice and humans substantiate this theoretical
approach [1-8].

**BACKGROUND**

The isotope effect throws a very direct light on the
mechanism of carcinogenesis. In this study it was shown that
the 39K/41Kratio in ocean water down to
6000 ft was 14,20000 [9-11].

In normal matured cells, both plant and animal, the ratio
varied from 14.25 to 14.21. Embryonic and cancer cells all
gave a ratio of 14.35. In the case of all synthetic cells
across which there was a potential gradient, the ratio was
14.35. From these values it will be seen that the ratio in
normal living cells indicates that as many isotopes leave the
cell as enter.

In the case of potassium for embryonic and cancer cells as
well as synthetic type cells with all types of membranes even
including liquid mercury films the observed isotope ratio was
given by equation 1.

(39K/ 41K) o = (39K/41K)n
(41
+ m / 39 + m) 1/2 (1)

where ***n*** refers to the normal ratio, ***o***
to the observed ratio, and ***m*** is the associated
mass for the ions.

All cations in solution are associated. The attached mass for
Cs+ is 3 molecules of water, for Rb+ it
is 5 molecules, for K+ is 7 molecules. For cations
below potassium in the Electromotive Series all ions are
highly associated. This is to be expected from their position
in the Hoffmeister Series. In the case of Ca++ the
association is 30 molecules, while Na+ is 16.
Equation (1) holds for all cations tested from H+to
U+. The value of *m* however will vary when
polar molecules are present in the solution. For example, K+
can also attach glucose. In contrast, Ca++ can
attach a wide variety of molecules; it is this cation that
transports peroxides into the cell, as well as metabolic
products out of the cell.

The results given in equation (1) are most significant in
that they show that transport is dependent entirely upon the
frequency with which the ions strike the membrane surface. It
is not a matter of capillary action, but one on which the ion
and its associated mass pass directly through the bonding
space between molecules which comprise the membrane. That the
associated molecules are not lost in this transport is due to
the fact that the attraction between the molecules and the ion
is far greater than their attraction by the material of the
membrane.

In the case of potassium an exact similarity exists between
embryonic and cancer cells. The isotope ratio indicates that
the K+ ions are taken up by the most efficient
process possible. The same held true for Cs+ and Rb+.

In contrast to the above, a vast difference exists for
cations below potassium in the EMS. In the case of embryonic
cells all cations tested obeyed equation (1). In the case of
cancer cells cations below potassium were taken up sparingly,
if at all. For example the amount of calcium in cancer cells
is only about one percent of that in normal cells [18].

The above isotope effect for potassium which transports
glucose into the cell, and for calcium which transports oxygen
are most significant with respect to Cancer. They mean that
glucose can readily enter cancer cells but that oxygen cannot
enter. This accounts for the anaerobic state of cancer cells
pointed out by Warburg as early as 1925 [26].

The mechanism responsible for the similarity in the isotope
effect for potassium and rubidium in cancer and embryonic
cells and for their marked difference in case of calcium was
investigated in some detail using mass spectrographic
analyses, and also fluorescence and phosphorescence decay
patterns.

The phosphorescence decay patterns were found to be peculiar
to and specific for all cell types or parts thereof [12-15].
It should be mentioned that the decay spectra is due entirely
to the light emitted from the energized double bonds. All
double bonds are capable of being raised to the energized
state. While the fluorescence spectra and the phosphorescence
decay patterns are both specific for each double bond they can
be influenced by adjacent strong polar radicals. Again, both
can be completely depressed by molecules absorbed over the
surface; thus morphine, as well as attached polycyclic type
molecules, will completely depress the excitation of the P=O
radicals which characterize all cell membrane surfaces.

It was observed that the membranes tested gave a
phosphorescence decay pattern due almost entirely to the P=O
radicals which are composed of phospholipids. These radicals
are specifically oriented over each type of membrane. This is
most significant from the point of view of membrane action,
since the P=O radicals are moderately strong electron donors
in the ground state and strong to powerful donors in the
energized state. This is due to the fact that the ionization
potentials, 1st to 5th, are appreciably higher for the 0 than
the P atom. This means that the 4 bonding electron orbitals
will be displaced nearer the 0 atom thus surrounding this atom
with a pronounced negative field. The P atom is thus positive
in nature.

The above results are most important with respect to membrane
action. They show that the strong electron acceptors Cs+,
Rb+, and K+ can be attracted into the
membrane so that they will enter the negative potential
gradient which exists across all living membranes. In contrast
to these cations, the highly associated cations farther down
in the EMS are not sufficiently strong electron acceptors to
be drawn into this gradient except when the P=O radicals are
in the energized state. This means that K+ cations
which transport glucose into the cell can readily enter cancer
cells, but that Ca++ ions which transport oxygen
into the cell cannot enter. In the normal cell the glucose,
upon entering the cell, reacts with the oxygen in the cell and
is burned to carbon dioxide and water with the liberation of
heat. This heat in turn is absorbed on the membrane surface
and raises the P=O radicals to an energized state which
permits them to attach more Ca++ ions. Thus it will
be seen that the amount of oxygen entering the cell is
determined by oxidation within the cell, primarily that of
glucose. This action is responsible for the pH control
mechanism of the cell which maintains a value near 7.35.

The reactivity of the double bond has been studied in some
detail using both light absorption and electron impact. It was
found that energy states of the order of those produced by
metabolic processes were not reactive. In contrast, high
energy states such as those that are induced by radioactivity.
are very reactive. Intermediate energy states in the ultra
violet range were not reactive. Intermediate energy states in
the ultra violet range were not reactive by electron impact,
but slightly with light quanta. Here however the reactivity
increased with a high power of the energy intensity per unit
area [16]. This suggests that the reactivity may be due to the
multiple absorption of light quanta, thus raising the energy
of the bond to the sum of the quanta absorbed (see Table 1).

THE MECHANISM OF CARCINOGENESIS

The experimental information presented in the previous
section involving the isotope effect, mass spectrographic
analyses, and fluorescence and phosphorescence decay, combined
with the pH data supplied by Von Ardenne [23-25], makes it
possible to define the mechanism involved in carcinogenesis.
This mechanism is very different from the accepted one of
carcinogens entering the cell and becoming attached to the
DNA. This mechanism will not explain any of the experimental
data outlined briefly herein.

The proposed mechanism can be outlined in four steps.

***Step 1***

The attachment of carcinogenic type molecules to the membrane
surface. This involves two factors: (a) the presence of
carcinogenic-type molecules primarily of the polycyclic type,
and (b) an energized state of the membrane, which may result
from prolonged irritation. When these molecules are attached
to the membrane glucose can still enter the cell, but oxygen
cannot. The cell thus becomes anaerobic.

***Step 2***

In the absence of oxygen, the glucose undergoes fermentation
to lactic acid. The cell pH then drops to 7 and finally down
to 6.5.

***Step 3***

In the acid medium the DNA loses its positive and negative
radical sequence. In addition, the amino acids entering the
cell are changed. As a consequence, the RNA is changed and the
cell completely loses its control mechanism. Chromosomal
aberrations may occur.

***Step 4***

In the acid medium the various cell enzymes are completely
changed. Von Ardenne has shown that lysosomal enzymes are
changed into very toxic compounds. These toxins kill the cells
in the main body of the tumor mass. A tumor therefore consists
of a thin layer of rapidly growing cells surrounding the dead
mass [3]. The acid toxins leak out from the tumor mass and
poison the host. They thus give rise to the pains generally
associated with cancer. They can also act as carcinogens.

**HIGH AND LOW pH THERAPIES**

Only two therapies will be mentioned here. Both are
apparently effective. These are the Low pH therapy devised by
Von Ardenne *et al*. [23-25] and the High pH therapy
developed by the writer.

***The Low pH Therapy***

In this therapy devised by Von Ardenne, glucose is injected
into the blood stream. As a consequence, the cancer cell pH
will drop eventually to the 5.5 range. The patient is then
placed in a furnace heated to 104 degrees Fahrenheit for a
matter of hr [23-25]. The older the patient, the fewer the
number of hours. The patient is allowed to breathe cold air.
Diathermy is also applied over the tumor area which, in the
absence of a blood supply, will cause the temperature of the
mass to rise to something over 106 degrees Fahrenheit. At
these high temperatures and in the acid medium, the life of
cancer cells is very short. The only drawback to the therapy
is that a case of severe toxemia may result from the
out-leakage of the acid toxins within the tumor masses
[23-25].

***The High pH Therapy***

The ready uptake of cesium and rubidium by the cancer cells
lead the writer to the High pH therapy. This consists of
feeding the patient close to 6 g of CsCl or RbCl per day in
conjunction with the administration of ascorbic and retionic
acids, Vitamins C and A, which being weak acids, upon
absorption by the tumor cells will enhance the negative
potential gradient across the membrane, and also zinc and
selenium salts which, when absorbed on the membrane surface,
will act as broad and moderately strong electron donors. Both
types of compounds have been shown in mice to drastically
enhance the pickup for cesium and rubidium ions.

The toxic dose for CsCl is 135 g. The administration of 6 g
per day therefore has no toxic effects. It is sufficient
however to give rise to the pH in the cancer cells, bringing
them up in a few days to the 8 or above where the life of the
cell is short. In addition, the presence of Cs and Rb salts in
the body fluids neutralizes the acid toxins leaking out of the
tumor mass and renders them nontoxic.   
TESTS OF THE HIGH pH THERAPY ON MICE AND HUMANS   
The therapy has been tested and the results will be discussed
briefly below.

***Tests on Mice***

The High pH therapy was first tested at American University
in Washington, DC using mice. In these tests, 2 mm cubes of
mammary tumors were implanted in the abdomens of mice and
allowed to grow for 8 days. The mice were then

divided into two groups. Both groups were continued on mouse
chow, but the test group was given 1.11 g of rubidium
carbonate by mouth per day in aqueous solution. After 13 more
days the controls were starting to die so all mice were
sacrificed and the tumors removed and weighed. The tumors in
the test animals weighed only one eleventh of those in the
controls. In addition, the test animals were showing none of
the adverse effects of having cancer [3].

Results similar to those mentioned above were obtained at
Platteville, WI using CsCl. More recently, Platteville has
studied intraperitoneal injection of cesium carbonate for mice
with abdominal tumor implants with 97% curative effect.

Tests using intraperitoneal injections of CsCl were carried
out by Messiha *et al*. [21]. The results were most
successful and showed a drastic shrinkage in the tumor masses.

***Tests on Man***

Many tests on humans have been carried out by H. Nieper in
Hannover, Germany and by H. Sartori in Washington, DC as well
as by a number of other physicians. On the whole, the results
have been very satisfactory. It has been observed that all
pains associated with cancer disappear within 12 to 24 hr,
except in a very few cases where there was a morphine
withdrawal problem that required a few more hours. In these
tests 2 g doses of CsCl were administered three times per day
after eating. In most cases 5 to 10 g of Vitamin C and 100,000
units of Vitamin A, along with 50 to 100 mg of zinc, were also
administered. Both Nieper and Sartori were also administering
nitrilosides in the form of laetrile. There are good reasons
to believe that the laetrile may be more effective than the
vitamins in enhancing the pickup of cesium by the cells.

In addition to the loss of pains, the physical results are a
rapid shrinkage of the tumor masses. The material comprising
the tumors is secreted as uric acid in the urine; the uric
acid content of the urine increases many fold. About 50% of
the patients were pronounced terminal, and were not able to
work. Of these, a majority have gone back to work.

Two side effects have been observed in some of the patients.
These are first nausea, and the second diarrhea. Both depend
upon the general condition of the digestive tract. Nieper
feels that nausea can be prevented by administering the cesium
in a solution of sorbitol. The diarrhea may, to some extent,
be affected by the Vitamin C.

Only one case history will be presented here. A woman with 2
hard tumor masses 8 to 10 cm in diameter, one on her thyroid
and one on her chest, was given 3 to 6 months to live. She had
been subjected to chemotherapy, but was discontinued because
it weakened her. She was taking laetrile on her own. She was
given a 50 g bottle of CsCl and was told to take 4 g per day.
She reported her case a year later. Being very frightened she
took the entire 50 g in one week. At the end of that time the
tumor masses were very soft, so she obtained another 50 g of
CsCl and took it in another week. By the end of that time she
could not find the tumors, and two years later there was no
sign of their return.

**LOW INCIDENCE CANCER AREAS**

There are a number of areas where the incidences of cancer
are very low. Unfortunately, the food composition in these
areas has never been analyzed. At the 1978 Stockholm
Conference on Food and Cancer it was concluded that there is
definitely a connection between the two, but since the
relationship was not understood, no conclusions could be drawn
[22]. The food intake has been studied by the author as far as
possible from the high pH point of view. The results found
will be discussed for a number of low incidence areas.

***The Hopi Indians of Arizona***

The incidence of cancer among the Hopi Indians is 1 in 1000
as compared to 1 in 4 for the USA as a whole. Fortunately
their food has been analyzed from the standpoint of
nutritional values [17]. In this study it was shown that the
Hopi food runs higher in all the essential minerals than
conventional foods. It is very high in potassium and
exceptionally high in rubidium. Since the soil is volcanic it
must also be very rich in cesium. These Indians live primarily
on desert grown calico corn products. Instead of using baking
soda they use the ash of chamisa leaves, a desert grown plant.
The analyses of this ash showed it to be very rich in
rubidium. The Indians also eat many fruits, especially
apricots, per day. They always eat the kernels. The results
indicate clearly that the Hopi food meets the requirements for
the High pH therapy.

***The Pueblo Indians of Arizona***

Some 20 years ago the incidence of cancer among the Pueblo
Indians was the same as that for the Hopi Indians, since their
food was essentially the same. But unlike the Hopi, these
Indians have accrued certain items from outside their
environment, hence supermarkets were installed in the area.
Today the incidence of cancer among the Pueblos is 1 in 4, the
same as the U.S. It is reported that there is a regular
epidemic of cancer among them. It must be emphasized here that
the high incidence of cancer is not due to what is in the
supermarket foods, hut rather to what is not in it. It is
essentially lacking rubidium and cesium and low in potassium.

***The Hunza of North Pakistan***

Cancer is essentially unknown among the Hunza, but
unfortunately their food has never been analyzed. Talks with
Hunza themselves and with Hindu professors who have spent some
time in the area, have thrown sufficient light upon the food
intake to show that it meets the requirements of the High pH
therapy. They are essentially vegetarians, and are great fruit
eaters, eating ordinarily 40 apricots per day; they always eat
the kernels, either directly or as a meal. They drink at least
4 liters of mineral spring waters which abound in the area.
Fortunately this water has been analyzed and found to be very
rich in cesium. Since the soil is volcanic in nature, it must
be concluded that it will be rich in Cs and Rb, as well as K.

***Central and South America***

The Indians who live in Central America and on the highland
of Peru and Equador have very low incidences of cancer. The
soil in these areas is volcanic. Fruit from the areas has been
obtained and analyzed for rubidium and cesium and found to run
very high in both elements. Cases have been reliably reported
where people with advance inoperable cancer have gone to live
with these Indians, and found that all tumor masses disappear
within a very few months. Clearly the food there meets the
high pH requirements.

In conclusion, the High pH therapy, as has been pointed out,
was arrived at from physical experiments carried out on cancer
and normal cells. It has been tested and found effective on
cancers in both mice and humans. There can be no question that
Cs and Rb salts, when present in the adjacent fluids, the pH
of cancer cells will rise to the point where the life of the
cell is short, and that they will also neutralize the acid
toxins formed in the tumor mass and render them nontoxic.

***Cesium Dosage and Side Effects***

Several problems have arisen in the therapy which require
further study. One of these is to determine the minimal dosage
of CsCl that will kill cancer cells. Would cesium carbonate be
better? Related to this are the effectiveness of intravenous
injections, and, in certain cases, intraperitoneal injections.
Both have been found to be effective in mice, but they have
not yet been tested on humans.

The minimal dosage for curative action has not been
determined. It has been observed by several physicians that
the administration of 0.5 g per day of CsCl will actually
enhance the rate of tumor growth. This is to be expected,
since this low amount is sufficient only to raise the cell pH
into the high mitosis range (see Chart 1). The data so far
reveal that any quantity of 3.0 g or above will be effective.

A side effect which occurs in some cases, especially those
who have had stomach ulcers, is nausea. This is far smaller
for 3.0 g per day than for 6 to 10 g. The nausea can be
minimized by administering cesium salt in a sorbitol solution
as mentioned earlier. Further studies are necessary.

A limited number of patients have experienced diarrhea. Since
cesium is a nerve stimulant [19], this can be expected. The
effect is enhanced by taking large doses of Vitamin C, but it
apparently is lowered by laetrile.

A further study is being made to determine the amount of
cesium, rubidium or possible potassium in the diet that is
sufficient to prevent cancer. Some data is available on the
food composition in areas of the world where cancer is very
low, but it is difficult to quantify, since the amount eaten
varies greatly between individuals.

The effectiveness of potassium salts is yet to be determined.
Tests to date have not been made on leukemia patients.

**CESIUM BIOLOGICAL USES**

In addition to the cancer therapy outlined in this paper, a
[19] U.S. Patent has been issued on the use of cesium chloride
as a nerve stimulant. Cesium salts are very effective in
regulating heart arrhythmia. In areas of the world where
cesium in the food intake is high, it has been noted that
longevity of well over 100 years is not at all uncommon. Based
on experimental data available [21] Cs salts may be useful in
the treatment of manic-depressives.

**ADDENDA**

In later writing, Dr. Brewer wrote: "The goal of the high pH
therapy is the transport of large quantities of Cs+
Rb+ and glucose-free K+ across the
membranes of cancer cells. During high pH therapy, Dr. H.
Nieper, M.D., observed a loss of potassium which should be
replaced." Two booklets discussing Dr. Brewer's final theories
about cesium are available from the Brewer Science Library:

**Excerpt:**

**Cesium Science**

Almost 75 years ago, Otto Warburg was awarded two Nobel
prizes for his theories that cancer is caused by impaired cell
respiration due to a lack of oxygen at the cellular level.
According to Warburg, damaged cell respiration causes
fermentation, resulting in hyper-acidity at the cellular
level.

In 1984 Keith Brewer, PhD (Physics) translated Warburg's
theories into a practical, cost efficient treatment protocol
for cancer. Brewer successfully treated 30 patients with
various cancers, using Cesium, nature's most alkaline mineral.

**The results of Brewer's work -- all 30 survived.**

In 1996 Neal Deoul provided financing that enabled T-UP Inc.
to become a primary distributor of Cesium and concentrated
aloe vera. Hundreds of cancer patients experienced remarkable
results using Cesium and T-UP aloe vera in their battles
against cancer ...

Over seventy-five years ago Dr. Otto Warburg published a
Nobel Prize winning paper describing the environment of the
cancer cell. A normal cell undergoes an adverse change when it
can no longer take up oxygen to convert glucose into energy by
oxidation. In the absence of oxygen the cell reverts to a
primitive nutritional program to sustain itself, converting
glucose, by fermentation. The lactic acid produced by
fermentation lowers the cell pH (acid/alkaline balance) and
destroys the ability of DNA and RNA to control cell division
the cancer cells begin to multiply unchecked. The lactic acid
simultaneously causes intense local pain and destroys cell
enzymes. Therefore, cancer appears as a rapidly growing outer
cell mass with a core of dead cells.

Cesium, a naturally occurring alkaline element has been shown
to affect the cancer cell two ways. First, Cesium limits the
cellular uptake of the nutrient glucose starving the cancer
cell and diminishing fermentation. Second, Cesium raises the
cell pH to the range of 8.0 neutralizing the weak lactic acid
and stopping pain within 12 to 24 hours. A pH range of 8.0 is
a deadly environment for the cancer cell the cancer cell dies
within a few days and is absorbed and eliminated by the body.

**The science of High pH therapy (drastically changing the
acid/alkaline balance of the cell):**

By the late 1970's mass spectrographic and isotope studies
had shown that tumor cells exhibit a preference for the uptake
of certain alkaline minerals; Potassium, Rubidium, and
especially Cesium. Further, specific antioxidants i.e. vitamin
C, and Zinc were shown to enhance the uptake of these alkaline
minerals by the cancer cell.

A normal cell is surrounded by a membrane, which selectively
allows materials to flow in and out. Oxygen and nutrients,
such as glucose, flow in and the waste products of cellular
chemistry flow out. The cells are protected by the immune
system; a well functioning immune system is the best defense
against the formation of cancer cells. When environmental
toxins (carcinogens) overwhelm the immune system the entire
program is compromised. The cell membrane is affected first,
losing its ability to exchange oxygen (respiration); the cell
then reverts to a primitive survival mechanism - fermentation.
The newly formed (anaerobic) cancer cell cannot be repaired
(fermentation is not reversible) the cell is now out of
control and must be destroyed as rapidly as possible.

Note that in areas of the world where there is a high Cesium
content in the soil cancer is virtually unknown: Hopi Indians
of Arizona, the Hunza of North Pakistan, and the Indians of
Central and South America. This observation suggests the
possibility of a vitamin, mineral, antioxidant formula
containing Cesium in an amount equal to that found in the soil
of cancer free habitats. This vitamin could be a powerful new
tool to help slow down and even reverse the present cancer
epidemic.

Some possible side effects noted during Cesium therapy:

Numbness within the triangle describing the mouth and the tip
of the nose.   
Nausea and/or flu like discomfort.

Abstract --- The invention relates to a process for recovering
purified cesium chloride from a cesium aluminum silicate ore in
which the ore is digested with aqueous hydrochloric acid and the
silica solids removed to obtain an aqueous acidic digest
solution of metal chlorides consisting principally of cesium
chloride and aluminum chloride together with other metal
chlorides, wherein the improvement comprises: (a) evaporating
the water from said digest solution to obtain a solid phase
mixture of metal chlorides, including cesium chloride and
hydrated aluminum chloride; (b) heating said solid phase mixture
at a temperature effective for converting the hydrated aluminum
chloride to aluminum oxide without decomposing the cesium
chloride; (c) extracting the resulting solids with water to
obtain an aqueous extract of cesium chloride; and (d) separating
the residual solids containing the aluminum oxide to produce a
purified extract of cesium chloride.

**Benefits of Cesium**

Cesium is extremely Alkaline   
Cesium is readily accepted into cancer cells   
Cesium is toxic to cancer cells   
Cesium both halts and neutralizes lactic acid   
Lactic acid causes pain and is a source of energy/fuel for
cancer   
Cesium disrupts the ionic balance of cancer cells membrane   
Cesium has been used for heart arrhythmia   
Cesium is used as a nerve stimulant   
Cesium has little adverse effect on normal cells

Each bottle has 32 ounces which provides the recommended dose
of 3 grams per day for 30 days of liquid cesium also included
in the 32 oz bottle is the recommended dosage of potassium a
day and DMSO

*Liquid Ionic Cesium* --- this form of Cesium has been
shown to be very effective at killing cancer cells. Our Liquid
Ionic Cesium Plus has Rubidium for the most effective tumor
fighting compound available anywhere.

**Product Description**

You may take the Cesium/potassium/Dmso orally or topically.
Should you experience diahrea, take it topically until your
digestive tract is fully normalized. Oral (by mouth) is the
preferred method unless the tumors are near the surface of the
skin. For tumors on or near the skin, applying the
cesium/potassium/DMSO on the skin over the tumor would be most
effective since it would maximize the dose directly on the
tumor. Also, since the goal is to increase oxygen transport,
it would be desirable to take MSM with the
cesium/potassium/DMSO. MSM is the oxidized form of DMSO and
dissolving it into the DMSO would increase the immediate
transport of oxygen to the tumor. Take topically if you
develop gastric issues such as diahrrea.

*Oral Instructions* --- Start with 1 to 2 ounces of
fresh squeezed citrus juice, add 2 tablespoons of organic
apple cider vinegar and add 1 tablespoon of the
cesium/potassium combo. The cesium and potassium are very
alkali and you must have the citrus juice and the apple cider
vinegar to neutralize the Ph in the stomach. It is also
advised that you take a supplement containing betaine
hydrochloride.

*Topical Instructions* --- Rub 1 tablespoon directly
into the top of feet, wrist and the neck are all good
locations to apply. Rub in thoroughly.

Every cell in the body is like a little battery. To
successfully bring nourishment in, and take poisons out, it
has to be fully charged. In a cancerous cell, the charge
(called cell voltage) drops from 90 millivolts to less than 40
millivolts. When the cell voltage gets to the very bottom,
only 5 substances can pass in or out of the cell. They are
water, sugar, potassium, cesium and rubidium.

Potassium transports glucose into cells for metabolism while
calcium transports oxygen. The amount of calcium in cancer
cells is only about one percent of that in normal cells. This
means that glucose can readily enter cancer cells but that
oxygen cannot. This accounts for the anaerobic state of cancer
cells pointed out by Warburg as early as 1925. Due to the lack
of oxygen in a cancer cell, the only means of metabolism for
it is the anaerobic phase of the Krebs cycle. This is very
inefficient and calls for lots of glucose, as very little of
the potential energy of the glucose is actually converted to
energy (ATP), most of the glucose gets converted to lactic
acid. Thus cancer has a voracious appetite for glucose and
does not have enough energy to function as does a healthy cell
which is capable of extracting nearly all of the potential
energy from not only glucose but protein and fats as well.

Every cell (normal & cancer) depends on "Sodium-Potassium
(Na-K) Pumps" embedded in the cell wall to maintain the
required ionic balance/distribution across the cell wall as
well as shuttle blood glucose into the cell for metabolism.
The pumps work to get potassium ions into the cell and sodium
ions out, creating a condition where the concentration of
potassium is high in the cell and low outside and the reverse
is true of sodium, which is kept low in the cell and is high
outside.

A disruption of this delicate ionic balance across the cell
wall will kill the cell. As one example, some bacteria kill
cells by drilling holes in the membrane and inserting a tube
that allows free diffusion of ions in both directions. This
disrupts the sodium-potassium concentration separation to the
point of killing the cell. Cesium, like sodium and potassium,
is a Group 1 element as listed in the periodic table. Because
cesium is closely related to potassium, it too can enter into
a cancer cell by the same mechanism as potassium does. It
readily substitutes for potassium in the biochemical
processes. As the cesium ions accumulate in the cell they
cancel the potential gradient across the cell wall that is
required to energize the sodium-glucose co-transport into the
cell. This could happen quite quickly requiring only a modest
concentration of cesium in the cell. This rapid arresting of
the cancer growth is consistent with the common reports that
once cesium treatment is initiated, the first thing that
happens is all the pain goes away. If this is all true, it
would seem that treatment of cancer with cesium, to quickly
arrest growth and then gradually kill the cells, is an almost
perfect approach. It would be consistent with some of the
amazing reports of late stage cancer being arrested in a
matter of days.

As the cell continues to ingest both cesium and potassium,
the effects to the cancer cell are toxic. Not only is the
ionic balance disrupted, but the cesium will exit the cancer
cell very slowly and it is so alkali that it is toxic to the
cancer cell. One of the first effects of the Cesium is the
cancer cell is very quickly starved of glucose. The cell stops
growing and will eventually be unable to function. Since the
cesium exits the cell only very slowly, this effect lasts long
after the cesium treatment has ceased. In time, the starved
cancer cells then die off.

The Bohr Effect is a property of hemoglobin first described
by the Danish physiologist Christian Bohr in 1904. Because of
the Bohr effect, an increase in blood carbon dioxide level, a
decrease in pH or increased temperature causes hemoglobin to
bind to oxygen with less affinity.

The Bohr effect utilizes carbon dioxide to displace oxygen.
No carbon oxide, no oxygen displacement from the hemoglobin.
Normal cells produce carbon dioxide but cancer cells don?t. It
happens that lactic acid also affects the blood?s oxygen
affinity, though not as strongly as carbon dioxide. However,
lactic acid doesn?t vaporize as the blood passes through the
lungs, so its effect on the lungs? ability to oxygenate the
blood is the opposite of the easily exchangeable carbon
dioxide?s. Besides dissociating oxygen from hemoglobin,
lactate also displaces carbon dioxide from its (carbamino)
binding sites on hemoglobin.

In the presence of cancer then we find low to non existent
levels of carbon dioxide but high levels of lactic acid. The
lactic acid doesn?t just displace oxygen but carbon dioxide as
well. The displaced carbon dioxide once dumped at the tumor
site only servers to make the site more acidic. To make
matters worse, when the lactic acid laden blood gets to the
lungs it stays in the blood and the hemoglobin can?t get a
fresh supply of oxygen. Without adequate oxygen, not only does
the cancer have ideal conditions but the rest of the body
suffers from hypoxia or low oxygen. Cesium raises the cancer
cell pH enough to effectively neutralize the weak lactic acid.

Many tests on humans have been carried out by H. Nieper in
Hannover, Germany and by H. Sartori in Washington, DC as well
as by a number of other physicians. On the whole, the results
have been very satisfactory. It has been observed that all
pains associated with cancer disappear within 12 to 24 hr,
except in a very few cases where there was a morphine
withdrawal problem that required a few more hours. In these
tests 2 g doses of CsCl were administered three times per day
after eating. In most cases 5 to 10 g of Vitamin C and 100,000
units of Vitamin A, along with 50 to 100 mg of zinc, were also
administered. Both Nieper and Sartori were also administering
nitrilosides in the form of laetrile. There are good reasons
to believe that the laetrile may be more effective than the
vitamins in enhancing the pickup of cesium by the cells.

In addition to the loss of pains, the physical results are a
rapid shrinkage of the tumor masses. The material comprising
the tumors is secreted as uric acid in the urine; the uric
acid content of the urine increases many fold. About 50% of
the patients were pronounced terminal, and were not able to
work. Of these, a majority have gone back to work.

Luckily, healthy cells are not affected by cesium because
they use much less glucose than cancer, normal aerobic cells
thrive in higher alkaline environments and their cell voltage
allows them to balance themselves.

In addition to the cancer therapy, a U.S. Patent has been
issued on the use of cesium as a nerve stimulant and Cesium is
very effective in regulating heart arrhythmia. In areas of the
world where cesium in the food intake is high, it has been
noted that longevity of well over 100 years is not at all
uncommon. Based on experimental data available Cesium may also
be useful in the treatment of manic-depressives.

Cesium chloride taken for cancer will cause plasma potassium
depletion. Therefore, it becomes necessary to supplement with
potassium. There should be ample potassium in the
Cesium/Potassium/DMSO Combo offered by NUTRITION 2000 when the
cancer diet is followed. It is a good idea and recommended
that you monitor blood levels of potassium and strive to keep
the potassium in the upper normal range. You will not have a
problem with excess levels of potassium if you are not
suffering from acute kidney failure.

MSM is simply the oxidized state of DMSO and the two form an
equilibrium in the blood that shifts towards MSM in the lungs,
a more oxidizing environment, and shifts towards DMSO in the
body cells, a more reducing environment. In the process oxygen
is delivered to the cells. The process is continually repeated
providing a continuous flow of oxygen to the cells that is
independent of hemoglobin. In order for cancer to grow, it
must have an environment void of oxygen. Another reason for
adding DMSO is that it will allow the topical use of cesium
should there be any GI distress when the cesium is taken
orally.

NUTRITION 2000 offers liquid ionic cesium with potassium and
DMSO. It is also advised to add high dose vitamin C (5,000 to
10,000 mg?s per day), Alpha Lipoic acid, MSM, selenium and
vitamin E (full array of tocopherols not just alpha) to the
Cesium/Potassium/DMSO combination. Please do not take cesium
without talking with one of our consultants. Cesium is
powerful and must be taken under supervision.

**In Depth Review of Cesium**

**Cesium for Cancer**

Cesium Chloride, a crystalline salt  has been used
successfully for cancer for many years now.  Cesium
Chloride works by raising the cancer cell's  Ph to a
highly alkaline state.  Although many anti-cancer diets
also produce an alkaline state, they simply cannot do so as
quickly or as fully as Cesium Chloride can.

**Killing cancer cells with high Ph therapy**

**PH range**

 <--Cell
death-><-----Mitosis--------><---------Cell
death------->

   
-----------6.5---------------------7.35---------7.5---------

Cells, whether cancerous or normal can only live and
reproduce (undergo mitosis) in a Ph range of between 6.5 and
7.5.  A healthy cell has a Ph of 7.35 while a cancer cell
is more acidic.  Cesium Chloride when taken orally will
raise the Ph of cancer cells, but not that of normal
cells.  When the Ph of a cell goes above 7.5 it dies and
if it goes above 8.0 it will die in a matter of hours.

**What can enter a cancer Cell**

Every cell in the body is like a little battery.  To
successfully bring nourishment in, and take poisons out, it
has to be fully charged.  In a cancerous cell, the charge
(called cell voltage) drops from 90 millivolts to less than 40
millivolts.  When the cell voltage gets to the very
bottom, only 5 substances can pass in or out of the
cell.  They are water, sugar, potassium, cesium and
rubidium.  Oxygen cannot enter into a cancer cell. 
So you see, even if there is a lot of oxygen in the blood, it
won't get into the cell.  Cesium, because of its
electrical properties can still enter the cancerous
cell.  When it does so, because of its extreme
alkalinity, the cell dies.  Luckily, healthy cells are
not affected by cesium because their cell voltage allows them
to balance themselves.  The only side effect is a loss of
potassium which can be remedies with eating a few bananas or
potatoes.

It is interesting to note that cancer is virtually unknown
among the Hopi Indians of Arizona and the Hunza of Northern
Pakistan, so long as they stay in the same environment. 
This strongly suggests that something they are consuming is
protecting them from cancer.  The Hopi water is rich in
Rubidium and potassium.  The Hunza water is rich in
Cesium and potassium, making both of the water supplies rich
with very caustically (alkaline) active metals.

In his publication, Cesium therapy in cancer patients, Dr.
Sartori describes the 2 week treatment of 50 last stage,
metastasized, terminal cancer patients  (13 comatose),
with Cesium chloride salts.  All were expected to die
within weeks, with the survival rate being less than one in
ten million.  After 2 weeks, 13 died with autopsies
showing no presence of cancer.  After 12 months, 12 more
had died, but 25, an astounding 50% survived.

**Cesium Therapy in Cancer patients**

**H.E. Sartori**

Certain foods contain biologically active compounds and/or
ingredients, i.e., vitamins inorganic salts, organic
compounds; essential fatty acids, minerals, and chelating
agents which may either precipitate or prevent cancer
development.  The relationship between dietary
consumption and cancer development is not clear and further
investigation continues.  Noteworthy is the report on the
presence of high levels of cesium [Cs] and rubidium [Rb] in
food along with availability of various supportive compounds
as vitamins A and C, along with zinc and selenium in diet of
populations residing in areas with low incidence of cancer
e.g., the Hopi Indian territory in Arizona, the Hunza area in
North Pakistan, and the volcanic regions of Brazil.  The
diet of these populations is similar to the nutritive
requirements for the high Ph cancer therapy developed by
Brewer subsequent series of physical experiments with cancer
cells.  In these tests the presence of Cs+ or Rb+ in the
adjacent fluids of the tumor cell is believed to raise the Ph
of the cancer cell where mitosis will cease resulting in
reduction of life span of the cancer cell.  The
introduction of such alkaline Ph by these alkali salts may
also neutralize the acidic and toxic material within the
cancer cell.  This report combines the use of CsCl with
various supportive agents. Which have been hypothesized both
to enhance the entry of Cs+ into the cancer cell and to
stimulate the immune response, in the treatment of various
cancers.

**Method**

Treatment was performed on 50 patients during the last three
years at Life Sciences Universal Medical Clinics in Rockville
MD and in Washington D.C.  All patients were terminal
subjects with generalized metastatic disease. 
Forty-seven of the 50 patient?s studies had received maximal
modalities of treatment, i.e., surgery, radiation, and various
chemotherapy, before metabolic Cs-treatment was
initiated.  Three patients were comatose and 14 of the
patients were considered terminal due to previous treatments
outcome and cancer complications.  The type of cancer of
the patients studied and their number is detailed in table 1.

The Cs-treatment was given in conjunction of other supportive
compounds under diet control in addition to the utilization of
specific compounds to produce adequate circulation and
oxygenation.  According to individual cases CsCl was
given at daily dosages of 6 to 9 grams in 3 equally divided
doses, with vitamin A-emulsion (100,000 to 300,000 U), vitamin
C (4 to 30 grams), zinc (80 to 100 mg) selenium (600 to 1,200
mcg) and amygdalin (1,500 mg) in addition to other
supplementations according to the specific needs of the
patient.  The diet consisted mainly of whole grains,
vegetables, linolenic acid rich oils (linseed, walnut, soy,
wheat germ) and other supplemental food.  To increase
efficiency of the treatment and improve the circulation and
oxygenation, the patients received the chelating agent EDTA,
dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and also a combination of vitamins, K
and Mg salts.

**Results**

Table 1 summarizes the results of the Cs-treatment of 50
cancer patients studied over 3 years.  They had
generalized metastatic disease, except for 3 patients. 
Initial death occurrences fir the initial 2 week treatment was
in the same order and magnitude of these recorded for the 12
month period.   The percent of survival of breast,
colon, prostate, pancreas, and lung cancer accounted to
approximately, 50% recovery which was higher than that noted
for liver cancer and the lymphoma patients treated.  An
overall 50% recovery from cancer by the Cs-therapy was
determined in the 50 patients treated.  Data from the
autopsy made indicated the absence of tumors in patient dying
within 14 days of the Cs-treatment.  One of the most
striking effects of the treatment was the disappearance of
pain in all patients within 1 to 3 days after initiation of
the Cs-therapy.

These studies were performed under my direction, initiated in
April, 1981.  Twenty-eight patients were initially
treated with CsCl between April, 1981 to October, 1982. 
They were subjected to various cancer therapies, e.g.,
surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, and were considered
terminal cases with metastatic disease except for 3 patients
who were not previously treated.  Three patients were
comatose at the time of the Cs treatment.  Thirteen
patients died within less than 2 weeks of treatment. 
Each patient showed a reduction in tumor mass by the
Cs-treatment.  Of the breast cancer patients, the most
impressive effect was seen n a female patient who was comatose
at the beginning of the Cs-treatment and was considered a
terminal case.  The Cs-therapy, with other ingredients
used, was immediately instituted by nasogastric route because
there was no cooperation from the patient.   The
daily CsCl dose given amounted to 30 grams, 10 grams given 3
times daily.  The patient was able to leave after 5 days
of treatment.  However the patient's fall on the floor
resulted in complications, i.e., fracture of the neck, and
death.  The autopsy revealed that the cancer metastasis
had essentially eaten away her hip bone causing this tragic
accident.  The autopsy performed also showed the presence
of very little cancer tissue.

The next most frequent cancer treated was of unknown
primary.  Treatment of 8 cases showed a death rate of 2
within 14 days of treatment and an additional 2 deaths within
12 months while 4 of the patients are still living.  In
one case, an autopsy was made in a patient after one week of
Cs-treatment and showed a complete disappearance of the
cancer.  There were 7 cases of colon cancer patients who
were treated with CsCl.  Two of these patients died
within 14 days, one of the patients had previous massive
chemotherapy, and little time was available to restore her
metabolic condition.  The previous existing infiltration
of the abdominal wall disappeared.  However, no consent
was given for an autopsy.

In one lymphoma case the patient displayed an unusually large
abdomen which was hard and he weighed approximately 250
pounds.  The massively enlarged abdomen began to decline
in volume, i.e., a loss of approximately 120 pounds of body
weight was noted after 3 months of the Cs- therapy.  The
spleen which was originally maximally enlarged and reaching
into the pelvis was reduced to almost normal size.  The
liver position was down to about the level of the umbilicus
and was also reduced to normal size in 3 months.  The
patient is still living after 3 years after his
discharge.  Unfortunately, there is no follow-p on this
patient and he is being maintained on chemotherapy.

**Discussion**

The results presented demonstrate the rate of efficacy of
CsCl in cancer therapy.  The total 50 cancer cases
studied show an impressive 50% survival rate.  This
confirms the work of Messiha reported in these proceedings
showing that the higher the dose it is, the more effective it
seems to be.   The autopsy obtained from the patient
whose death was attributed to traumatic fracture of the neck,
indicated that cancer had been initially further advanced
resulting in bone destruction.  However, the absence of
cancer after the massive CsCl dose used in this case is
demonstrable of the Cs-therapy.  It appears that both
dosages, i.e., as much as 30 grams/day and route of drug
administration, i.e., nasogastric pathway, might have
contributed to the patient?s rapid recovery.  It should
be noted, however, that CsCl dose regimens should no exceed 20
to 40 grams due to side effects, mainly nausea, and
diarrhea.  The author?s personal experience with CsCl
after an acute dose of 40 prams CsCl indicate that extensive
nausea and parethesia around the mouth are the major side
effects.  This is probably due to K depletion.  The
usual dose used in the clinic ranges from 2 to 3 grams given
by mouth 3 times daily.  At a later time, at which time
there is no indication of cancer presence, the CsCl dosage
will be reduced to a preventative dose between .5 and 1 gram a
day.

The lymphoma case presented shows that CsCl efficiently
reduced massive enlargements of spleen and liver as well as
maximal ascites, causing an abdominal configuration of a
tight, hard hemisphere, to almost normalize after 3 months of
therapy.  This period of time was required to eliminate
such a massive volume resulting in the reduction of the body
weight noted.

The clinical efficacy of CsCl high pH metabolic therapy is
best demonstrated by a recent case of primary liver cancer
(not included in the 50 cases reported in this study). 
The patient was a 39 year old female teacher who was
terminal.  She was brought on a stretcher on April 25,
1984 with a large liver tumor extending approximately 3 cm
below the umbilical level.  The treatment was then
immediately instituted.  This consisted of administration
of CsCl, Beta-carotene, Vitamin C, Zn, Se, Mn, Cr, and K salts
by the oral route in addition to concomitant massive IV doses
of ascorbate, K, Mg, Zn, Cn, Mn, Cr salts, B complex vitamins,
folic acid, DMSO and heparin.  After 5 consecutive
treatment regimens EDTA was introduced to the therapy and the
minerals present in the solution were discontinued.  On
May 10, 1984, the patient was discharged, returned home
walking without assistance and displaying a smile on her
face.  The liver tumor had shrunk to 5 cm above the
umbilicus.   The determination of alphafetoprotein
(AFP), a specific marker for liver cancer, rare embronal
cancer and teratomas, decreased from the unusually high value
of 39,000 units, compared to normal levels of 13 units,
measured before initiation of Cs-therapy, to 5000 units
obtained on the last day of treatment.

The mechanism of action of Cs in cancer has been little
studied.  Both Cs+ and Rb+ can specifically enter the
cancer cells and embryonic cells, but not normal adult cells
have been demonstrated by Brewer.  The cancer cells
contain high amounts of hydrogen ions rendering them acidic
and they also contain high Na+ levels than found in normal
cells.  If Cs+ or Rb+ can enter the cancer cells then the
pH increases from as low as 5.5 to over pH 7.0.  At a pH
of 7.6 the cancer cell division will stop, at a pH of 8.0 to
8.5 the lifespan of it is considerably shortened (only
hours).  In one case, the author has observed the
shrinkage of metastases of breast cancer after one hour of
Cs-treatment.  Two days later wrinkles of the skin
appeared where the tumor was present.  In another case of
a colon cancer with massive metastasis, of massive
infiltration of the abdominal wall, liver and other tissues,
seemed to have been reduced within 24 hours and continuing
rapidly until the demise of the patient on the 14th day of the
Cs-treatment.

The uric acid levels measured at the onset of treatment was
approximately 3.5 units which were increased to over 20 units,
suggesting massive breakdowns of DNA, which produces the uric
acid output.  Therefore, destruction of nuclear acids, as
reflected by a significant rise in the uric acid, may be used
as a predictive measurement for treatment outcome.  The
failure of uric acid elevation may be indicative of lack of
destruction of cancer cells.  This has proven to be a
very consistent finding in our clinic.

There are certain factors which may enhance the
Cs-therapy.  The Cs-penetration into the cancer cells can
be increased by the following three methods:  The first
approach resides in broadening the electron donor capacity of
the cancer cell membrane by the application of cyanide, an
electron donor radical as found in nitriles (amygdalin,
Laetrile, mandelonitrite, prunasin, ficin, cassivin), by
selenium oxide, an electron donor radical, or by the use of
DMSO.  The second approach enhances the potential
gradient across the cancer cell membrane by the utilization of
weak acids like ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and retinoic acid
(Vitamin A).  The third method attempts to improve the
circulation to the tumor and facilitate the destruction of
cross-linkages in the mucoid and fibrinous substances around
the cancer cell.  This can be achieved by chelation
therapy, i.e., the use of EDTA as has been shown by Blumer who
reported on the reduction of cancer incidence by 90% by
chelating patients (an average of 15 chelations in 8 years).
This approach also reduced cardiovascular disease by
50%.  Other chelating agents can also be used. 
Moreover, the use of beta-carotene will lead to decomposition
of blocking mucoid proteins mediated by electrical charges;
also, heparin, which acts through electrical charges, will
inactivate the immune repelling and immune binding capacities
of the blocking mucoid proteins.  These approaches will
hinder cancer growth and they are virtually atoxic.

**The High pH Therapy**

The ready uptake of cesium and rubidium by the cancer cells
lead the writer to the High pH therapy. This consists of
feeding the patient close to 6 g of CsCl or RbCl per day in
conjunction with the administration of ascorbic and retionic
acids, Vitamins C and A, which being weak acids, upon
absorption by the tumor cells will enhance the negative
potential gradient across the membrane, and also zinc and
selenium salts which, when absorbed on the membrane surface,
will act as broad and moderately strong electron donors. Both
types of compounds have been shown in mice to drastically
enhance the pickup for cesium and rubidium ions.

The toxic dose for CsCl is 135 g. The administration of 6 g
per day therefore has no toxic effects. It is sufficient
however to give rise to the pH in the cancer cells, bringing
them up in a few days to the 8 or above where the life of the
cell is short. In addition, the presence of Cs and Rb salts in
the body fluids neutralizes the acid toxins leaking out of the
tumor mass and renders them nontoxic.

Many tests on humans have been carried out by H. Nieper in
Hannover, Germany and by H. Sartori in Washington, DC as well
as by a number of other physicians. On the whole, the results
have been very satisfactory. It has been observed that all
pains associated with cancer disappear within 12 to 24 hr,
except in a very few cases where there was a morphine
withdrawal problem that required a few more hours. In these
tests 2 g doses of CsCl were administered three times per day
after eating. In most cases 5 to 10 g of Vitamin C and 100,000
units of Vitamin A, along with 50 to 100 mg of zinc, were also
administered. Both Nieper and Sartori were also administering
nitrilosides in the form of laetrile. There are good reasons
to believe that the laetrile may be more effective than the
vitamins in enhancing the pickup of cesium by the cells.

In addition to the loss of pains, the physical results are a
rapid shrinkage of the tumor masses. The material comprising
the tumors is secreted as uric acid in the urine; the uric
acid content of the urine increases many fold. About 50% of
the patients were pronounced terminal, and were not able to
work. Of these, a majority have gone back to work.

Two side effects have been observed in some of the patients.
These are first nausea, and the second diarrhea. Both depend
upon the general condition of the digestive tract. Nieper
feels that nausea can be prevented by administering the cesium
in a solution of sorbitol. The diarrhea may, to some extent,
be affected by the Vitamin C.

Only one case history will be presented here. A woman with 2
hard tumor masses 8 to 10 cm in diameter, one on her thyroid
and one on her chest, was given 3 to 6 months to live. She had
been subjected to chemotherapy, but was discontinued because
it weakened her. She was taking laetrile on her own. She was
given a 50 g bottle of CsCl and was told to take 4 g per day.
She reported her case a year later. Being very frightened she
took the entire 50 g in one week. At the end of that time the
tumor masses were very soft, so she obtained another 50 g of
CsCl and took it in another week. By the end of that time she
could not find the tumors, and two years later there was no
sign of their return.

Cesium chloride and a high pH diet cause potassium depletion.
Therefore, it becomes necessary to supplemented with
potassium. Most potassium supplements supply 100 mg of
potassium. One banana supplies 500 mg of potassium.

Proponents of cesium chloride suggest a dosage of 1-6 g/day.
Most patients take 3 g a day always with food. Here is the
schedule that Neal Deoul used:

Breakfast:   
Cesium chloride (1 gram)   
Vitamin C (1000 milligrams)   
Zinc (25 - 30 milligrams)   
one potassium capsule as prescribed by a physician

Lunch:   
Vitamin C (1000 milligrams)

Dinner:   
Cesium chloride (1 gram)   
Vitamin C (1000 milligrams)

Before bed after eating 2 slices of bread:   
Cesium chloride (1 gram)   
Vitamin C (1000 milligrams)

The minimal dosage for curative action has not been
determined. It has been observed by several physicians that
the administration of .5 g per day of CsCl will actually
enhance the rate of tumor growth. This is to be expected,
since this low amount is sufficient only to raise the cell pH
into the high mitosis range. The data so far reveal that any
quantity of 3.0 g or above will be effective.

People who change their eating habits greatly increase the
effectiveness of the supplements they take.

**Side Effects**

In a small number of people, Cesium Chloride has been linked
with ventricular tachycardia, a rapid and irregular heartbeat
that can lead to sudden cardiac death.

A side effect which occurs in some cases, especially those
who have had stomach ulcers, is nausea. This side effect
occurs far less often with the 3.0 g per day dose than for 6.0
g dose which is recommended by some of the more aggressive
therapists.

Cesium chloride and a high pH diet cause potassium depletion.
Therefore, it becomes necessary to supplemented with
potassium. Most potassium supplements supply 100 mg of
potassium. One banana supplies 500 mg of potassium. We offer a
liquid containing cesium chloride with potassium in a balanced
formula. Cesium chloride stays in the body for a couple of
months after discinuation of use. For that reason a person
should continue potassium supplementation for a couple of
months after discinuation of cesium chloride.

**The Toxin Approach:**

The second approach employs the use of toxins that do kill
the cancer cells by a toxic effect. There are many examples of
this. However, in my analysis of the mechanism of ionic cesium
(cesium chloride), combined with increased potassium
(potassium chloride) intake, I was extremely surprised to
discover the real mechanism by which it operates and identify
how truly profound it is. I concluded the mechanism presented
to date on the internet was totally wrong and serously obsured
the true potential of this appraoch. My present conclusion is
that it stands out from all other such toxin approaches as
being almost the perfect solution.

 Briefly, the cesium ions are taken into the cell via
the sodium-potassium pump, substituting for potassium, and are
trapped there. Not only are the cesium ions trapped, but they
also block the exit of the potassium ions by blocking the
potassium channel proteins in the cell walls. The accumulation
of cesium and potassium ions in the cell negates the voltage
potential across the cell membrane. This voltage potential is
required to energize the sodium-glucose co-transport system
that feeds the cell. The cell thus starves. There would also
be an accumulation of ions in the cell which will cause the
cells to swell, due to osmotic pressure, and possibly burst.

This is true for all cells. Why are cancer cells impacted far
faster/greater than normal cells? The sodium-potassium pump,
energized by ATP, pumps two potassium ions into the cell while
pumping three sodium ions out. This creates a charge imbalance
that would stop the pump unless there was another path by
which the sodium ions reenter. That happens via the
sodium-glucose co-transport system in the cell membrane. Thus,
the rate that the sodium-potassium operates is dictated by the
glucose requirement of the cell. Cancer cells, which are
anaerobic, require 20 times more glucose than normal cells to
obtain the same amount of energy. Therefore, their
sodium-potassium pumps operate 20 times faster than normal
cells. Thus, they will pump cesium into their cells 20 times
faster than normal cells, and will experience starvation (and
bursting) 20 times faster.

Since not only are the cesium ions trapped, but also
potassium ions, this will result in a serious lowering of
potassium in the blood which must be compensated for, which is
easy to do. If it isn't, the lowering of the potassium level
in the blood could cause death. I should mention that "Salt
Substitute" available in every grocery store is potassium
chloride and is a good, convenient source of potassium.

The trick is to establish a protocol where the cancer cells
enter starvation and stop the treatment before the normal
cells follow. Cesium eventually exits the cells, but very
slowly. Thus, once the cancer cells have entered starvation,
treatment can stop and the cancer cells will continue to
starve for an extended period of time.

An additional feature of this approach is that the cancer
cells are abruptly deprived of glucose, abruptly arresting
their progression, but not necessarily resulting in an abrupt
die-off. One might expect this to be more gradual than other
cancer treatments. Thus there is a lower risk of experiencing
severe toxic effects due to rapid cell die-off of cells common
to other treatment approaches.

As broadly reported on the internet, cesium chloride has been
used successfully to treat cancer. My contribution is to
discover its correct mechanism, described above. This should
not only enhance its scientific credibility, but help
researchers and treatment clinics optimize its use.

Otto Warburg found that all cancer cells are anaerobic, and
both of these approaches work on the anaerobic nature of
cancer cells. Logically, the combination of the two should be
effective for all forms of cancer. Will it be enough? Only
time will tell if this dream will come true.

**Pharmacology**

Cesium, a naturally occurring alkaline element has been shown
to change the cancer cell in two ways:

Cesium limits the cellular uptake of glucose, which starves
the cancer cell and reduces fermentation.

It raises the cell pH to approximately 8.0. This neutralizes
the weak lactic acid and stops pain within 12 to 24 hours. A
pH range of 8.0 is a deadly environment for the cancer cell,
which dies within a few days and is absorbed and eliminated by
the body.

**A Different Theory**

Another theory regarding the operation of cesium chloride is
that it selectively targets tumor cells because many or most
types are anaerobic. Anaerobic cells need times more glucose
than normal cells. In order to get more glucose into the
cancer cells, the sodium-potassium (Na-K) pumps on the cell
wall must run 20 times faster, pumping more sodium out and
more potassium in. Cesium acts like potassium so the Na-K pump
brings lots of it into the cells. However once in the cell,
cesium cannot get out, because it blocks the potassium
channels through which potassium usually leaves. Cesium
buildup then kills the cell by uncertain mechanisms. From
"Proposed Common Cause and Cure for All Forms of Cancer" by
David Gregg Ph.D.

**Effectiveness**

There is no information that suggests that Cesium chloride is
less effective on one type of cancer than another.

**A Fifty patient Study with Cesium Chloride Plus Other
Supplements**

Cesium chloride treatment combined with other alternative
treatments was performed on 50 patients at Life Science
Universal Medical Center Clinics in Rockville, MD and in
Washington, DC. From April 1981 to February 1984, 50 cancer
patients were treated with Cesium chloride and given a special
diet. All of the patients were terminal with generalized
metastatic disease. 47 of the 50 patients had received maximum
surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy before the metabolic
regime was started. 3 patients were comatose. 14 patients were
unresponsive from previous treatment attempts and their cancer
complications.

The diet during treatment consisted mainly of whole grains,
vegetables, linoleic acid rich oils (linseed, walnut, soy,
wheat germ) and other supplemental food. According to
individual cases Cesium chloride was given at daily dosages of
6 to 9 g (this is now considered unnecessarily high). in three
equally divided doses. Also given to all the patients:

Vitamin A-emulsion (100,000 to 300,000 U)   
Vitamin C (4 to 30g)   
Zinc (80 to 100 mg)   
Chelating agent EDTA   
Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)

Selenium (600 to 1,200 mcg)   
Laetrile (1500 mg)   
Vitamin K   
Mg salts   
Other supplements according to specific patient needs .

As you can see, all these additonal treatments and
supplements could have had just as much effect as the Cesium
chloride making this study less than conclusive. Vitamin A and
C are significant cancer treatments. However, it should be
pointed out that 1500 mg of Laetrile is very little, the
recommend theraputic does is 6,000 mg (intravenous).

Each patient showed a reduction in the tumor mass even after
only forty-eight hours. Of the 17 comatose and moribund
patients, 12 died from complications of their cancers but
especially the consequences of chemotherapy and radiation. One
comatose breast cancer patient recovered so rapidly that after
five days she attempted to leave her bed. When stepping out of
her bed, she feel and broke a cervical vertebra which led to
her demise within another eight days (a metastasis had
destroyed her femur and caused her fall).

Of a series of the first 50 patients with a variety of
terminal cancers, as of July 1, 1984 the survival time of the
25 survivors, all of them expected to die not later than 2
weeks to 3 months after the treatment was started, is it at
least 8 months and up to 3 years and 3 months. One of the most
striking effects of the treatment was the disappearance of
pain in all patients within one to three days after initiating
Cs-therapy. The results demonstrate the rate of effectiveness
of CsCl in cancer therapy.

**Studies**

Besides the 50 patient study at Life Science Universal
Medical Center described in the Effectiveness" section above,
the following is a summary of "The high pH therapy for cancer
tests on mice and humans." PHARMACOL BIOCHEM BEHAV 21: Suppl.
1, 1-5. 1984, by A. K. Brewer, was found:

Mass spectrographic and isotope studies have shown that
potassium, rubidium, and especially cesium are most
efficiently taken up by cancer cells. This uptake was enhanced
by Vitamins A and C as well as salts of zinc and selenium. The
quantity of cesium taken up was sufficient to raise the cell
to the 8 pH range. Where cell mitosis ceases and the life of
the cell is short. Tests on mice fed cesium and rubidium
showed marked shrinkage in the tumor masses within 2 weeks. In
addition, the mice showed none of the side effects of cancer.

**Conclusiveness of Papers**

The non-peer reviewed articles make a strong case for the
effectiveness of cesium chloride. However, when studies are
not critically reviewed, they can be critically flawed.   
Standalone Ability

Cesium chloride gets a low rating for standalone ability
because it must be taken with potassium. Also, studies that
used cesium chloride combined it with other supplements, see
the "Effectiveness" section. Potassium depletion is not a
serious problem because it is easy to replace potassium.
Actually, most cesium chloride supplements contain large
amounts of potassium.

**Ease of Use and Dosage**

Cesium chloride supplements are available in pill form in a
wide range of doses.

Cesium chloride and a high pH diet causes potassium
depletion. Therefore, it becomes necessary to supplemented
with potassium. Most potassium supplements supply 100 mg of
potassium. One banana supplies 500 mg of potassium...

The minimal dosage for curative action has not been
determined. It has been observed by several physicians that
the administration of .5 g per day of CsCL will actually
enhance the rate of tumor growth. This is to be expected,
since this low amount is sufficient only to raise the cell pH
into the high mitosis range. The data so far reveal that any
quantity of 3.0 g or above will be effective.

People who change their eating habits greatly increase the
effectiveness of the supplements they take.

**Side Effects**

In a small number of people, Cesium Chloride has been linked
with ventricular tachycardia, a rapid and irregular heartbeat
that can lead to sudden cardiac death.

A side effect which occurs in some cases, especially those
who have had stomach ulcers, is nausea. This side effect
occurs far less often with the 3.0 g per day dose than for 6.0
g dose which is recommended by some of the more aggressive
therapists.

Cesium chloride and a high pH diet causes potassium
depletion. Therefore, it becomes necessary to supplemented
with potassium. Most potassium supplements supply 100 mg of
potassium. One banana supplies 500 mg of potassium.
Essense-of-life offers a liquid containing cesium chloride
with potassium in a ballanced formular. Cesium chloride stays
in the body for a couple of months after discinuation of use.
For that reason a person should contiune postassium
supplementation for a couple of months after discintuation of
cesium chloride. Essense-of-life (see the "Manufacturers"
section) includes comprenseive instructions along these lines
with each order of cesium chloride.

**From the ACS**

Cesium chloride is not considered toxic. However, the acute
and chronic toxicity of this substance is not fully known.
Consuming large amounts of cesium could result in nausea and
diarrhea. Based on results of animal studies, women who are
pregnant or breast-feeding should avoid taking cesium chloride
supplements.

**Compatibility**

There is no known conflict between cesium chloride and other
medications or supplements. However, there are no known
studies to determine compatibility.

**Cost per Month**

Cesium chloride costs $70 for a one month supply if taking 3
grams per day.

**Testimonials and Belief**

Testimonials can be a very powerful tool to help in the
healing process because they can boost your belief in a
treatment. However, reading testimonies is a poor method of
making a treatment selection. An alternative cancer treatment
with only a 5% success rate can still obtain many genuine and
impressive testimonials. A selected group of positive
testimonials cannot compare to a published study were all of
the qualified case histories are presented, the failures as
well as the successes.

For the above reason, it is not a good idea to use
testimonials to help you select a cancer treatment. Save
testimonials for the role that they perform the best,
bolstering belief after treatments have been selected. Using
an Alternative Cancer Treatment Test kit is a much better
method of making the treatment decision.

**USE OF CESIUM CHLORIDE TO CURE MALIGNANCIES**

**By Dr. James Howenstine, MD.**   
**June 29, 2004**   
**NewsWithViews.com**

Nobel Prize Laureate, Dr. Otto Warburg, discovered that when
he lowered the oxygen levels of tissues by 35 % for 48 hours
normal cells were converted into irreversible cancer cells.
Cancer patients have low levels of oxygen in their blood
usually around 60 compared to normal values of about 100 by
pulse oximetry. The common therapies used to treat cancer
(chemotherapy and radiation) both cause drastic falls in the
body's oxygen levels. Tissues that are acidotic contain low
levels of oxygen whereas tissues that are alkalotic have high
levels of oxygen.

In a normal cell glucose and oxygen easily enter the cell and
waste products are promptly eliminated from the cell. The cell
ph remains in the normal range of 7.35. When the outer lining
membranes of the cell are chronically irritated by toxic
substances (exposure to carcinogens) this membrane functions
abnormally by failing to permit oxygen to enter the cell while
glucose is still able to enter the cell.

Potassium ions are responsible for the ability of glucose to
enter the cell. Potassium enters cancer cells in a normal
manner so glucose still enters the cancer cell. Cancer cells
have only 1%[1] of the calcium content found in normal healthy
cells. The calcium, magnesium and sodium ions, which are
responsible for the intake of oxygen into the cell, can not
enter the cancer cell but the potassium ion still enters these
cells. Thus we have cancer cells containing glucose but no
oxygen.

When oxygen fails to enter the cell the cell's ability to
control it's ph is lost and the cell becomes quite acidic.
This is caused by the appearance of abnormal metabolism
(anerobic glycolysis) in which glucose is converted
(fermentation) into two particles of lactic acid. This
production of lactic acid promptly lowers the ph within the
cell to 6.5 or lower. The lactic acid damages the template for
proper DNA formation. Messenger RNA is also changed so the
ability of the cell to control its growth is lacking. Rapid
and uncontrolled cancer cell growth and division occurs.
Vitamin C and zinc are able to enhance the uptake of cesium,
rubidium, and potassium into cancer cells.

**Why The Current Cancer Surveillance And Therapy Programs
Have Failed**

During our lives we all kill millions of cancer cells unless
our immune systems become injured. When a clinician is able to
diagnose a cancer of the lung by chest xray, breast cancer by
mammogram, or colon cancer by colonoscopy etc. it has already
been in the body for 6 to 8 years and has had ample time to
spread to other parts of the body. This is the reason that the
massive program to get annual mammograms in women is a
complete failure. The survival rate from breast cancer is the
same for women who have never had a mammogram as for those who
obtain annual mammograms (large population studies from Canada
and Denmark discovered this).

Cancer treatment programs are based on the false concept that
chemotherapy will kill more tumor cells than healthy cells and
thus lead to recovery. The very cells (bone marrow) that
enable a human to recover from cancer are damaged by
chemotherapy. How could a therapy known to cause cancer
(radiation) be able to improve long term survival for very
many cancer victims? The statistics show that no more people
are surviving now than 25 years ago. Both chemotherapy and
radiation injure the immune system which is vital for
surviving cancer.

The cancer cartel has no interest in curing cancer because
chemotherapy drugs are an enormously profitable product for
the pharmaceutical industry. An important clue proving that
there is no sincere interest in curing cancer is provided by
the fact that only .5% (one half of one percent) of the
dollars spent on cancer research is spent on research directed
at stopping the spread[2] of cancer (metastases). When a
cancer fails to spread the patient can live many comfortable
years in an uneventful manner.

**Factors Influencing The Development Of Malignant Diseases**

All persons are normally killing millions of cancer cells
unless their immune system becomes injured. There are at least
6 things that can injure the immune system:

*Nutritional Deficiencies* (examples) --- Inadequate
reserves of vitamin C and E can increase the morbidity
experienced in surgical ICUs after massive trauma. Lack of
selenium increases the risk of developing malignancies,
infections and heart disease.

*Infection ---* Serious infections can deplete
phagocytes, cause coagulation problems, nutritional
deficiencies, impaired circulation etc.

*Exposure to Radiation* --- Injury to DNA and bone
marrow may follow radiation leading to malignant changes in
cells and greater opportunity for infections to occur.

*Toxins* --- Exposure to unhealthy dietary transfats,
heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, chemicals, fluoride etc.
injures the immune system's ability to mobilize a prompt
effective response. The lack of dietary essential omega 3
fatty acids is an important cause for immune injury for 90% of
U.S. citizens.

*Stress* --- When prolonged stress occurs the body
steadily releases cortisone that causes suppression of the
immune system, death of nerve cells, failure to kill abnormal
cells, and risk of infection may increase...

*Aging* --- There is diminished ability to activate the
immune system as we age. This contributes to the occurrence of
malignancies and infections in the elderly.

**Have There Been Any Cures For Cancer?**

All health care practitioners who have developed a cure for
cancer from Dr. Coley's toxins in 1900 through Dr. Stanislaw
Burzinsky's antineoplaston currently have been greeted with
vicious opposition, lies in the media if the media even admits
the product exists, inability to get information published in
mainline journals where physicians could read it, and
frequently there is continuing harassment from lawsuits
threatening loss of medical licensure. There have been at
least a dozen safe cures for cancer down through the past
century of health care that have come and gone without the
general public's awareness that they even existed. The cancer
industry is so powerful that television, newspapers, and
medical journals subsidized by revenue from pharmaceutical
advertisements are generally unwilling to admit that these
cures have ever existed. Often fabricated articles are
published disparaging the safety and effectiveness of the cure
thus frightening the general public away from some natural
therapy that could make them well. It is quite difficult for
lay people to realize who is giving them the truth..

**Using Alkali Therapy To Cure Cancer**

Parts of the world that have high levels of strong alkaline
minerals in their water have a very low incidence of cancer.
The Hopi Indians have water that contains rubidium and
potassium while the Hunzas of Northern Pakistan have water
high in cesium and potassium. The Hopis and Hunzas do not
develop cancer unless they move away from their homeland. Of
considerable interest both the Hopis and Hunzas eat apricot
kernels on a regular basis (laetrile).

Effective therapies that cure cancer have come and gone
frequently since 1900. Alkali therapy for cancer was developed
in that era. It worked quite well for cancer but was forgotten
when only a few practitioners heard about it and were willing
to face the opposition that the medical establishment directs
toward anyone not using conventional methods of therapy. The
use of strong alkali provided a permanent cure[3] for many
patients.

The most alkaline minerals (cesium, rubidium, potassium) are
able to enter cancer cells. Their strong alkalinity,
particularly that of cesium, causes the ph within the cell to
rise to values of 8 or higher because they affect ph more than
the weak acid (lactic acid) within the cancer cell. In the
very alkaline state cancer cells can survive for only a few
days or less depending on the degree of alkalinity present in
the cancer cell. If many cancer cells die simultaneously the
body's ability to process and eliminate the breakdown products
of massive cellular death may be overwhelmed causing a
"detoxification reaction". The primary organ involved in
detoxification by the body is the liver. Symptoms might
include flu like symptoms, headache, nausea, and skin rash.
The liver can increase it's ability to eliminate toxins by the
use of the herb milk thistle which is a good idea during
cancer therapy.

Sometimes there is so much malignant tissue dying sinus
tracts will appear on the skin. This enables the body to get
more of the toxic substances released from dead cells out of
the body faster. Healthy normal cells have normal electrical
potential in their cell membranes which allows them to keep
cesium out of the cells.

Cesium capsules can rarely be a cause for perforation of the
stomach or small intestine if they become positioned against
the wall of either organ. For this reason cesium must always
be taken with food and the liquid form of cesium would appear
to be safer than a capsule.

One of the conditions observed after cesium therapy was a
striking rise in blood uric acid levels. This is caused by
massive release of DNA from dead cancer cells. DNA is
metabolized into uric acid. Typically the values went from 3.5
mg. to 20 mg. This has the potential to cause decreased kidney
function because large amounts of uric acid appearing in
kidney tubules can form crystals that block the tubules. If a
large number of kidney tubules become blocked kidney function
fails and uremia appears. This is easy to prevent by using the
pharmaceutical drug Xyloprim (allopurinol) before and
concomitantly with cesium so that excessively high values of
uric acid do not develop. This might only be needed when 20 or
more grams of cesium (high dosage) are being taken daily.
Xyloprim lowers the blood level of uric acid by shifting the
metabolism of proteins so that the body produces less uric
acid, thus decreasing the blood levels of uric acid and the
amount of uric acid the kidney needs to excrete.

Cancer cells contain a fibrin meshwork 13 to 15 times thicker
than the fibrin meshwork surrounding normal cells. This fibrin
mesh surrounding cancer cells is believed to play a key role
in the ability of cancer cells to escape destruction by making
it quite difficult for the killer lymphocytes, phagocyes and
cytokines of the immune system to contact and destroy cancer
cells. As we age our ability to manufacture enzymes steadily
diminishes. The key enzyme component in an effective enzyme
preparation is chymotrypsin or serrapeptase both of which
increase the body's ability to produce more enzymes. We like
Vitalzyme for malignancies because of the widespread reports
of good results using the the enzyme serrapeptase which is
found in Vitalzyme. The dose can begin with 3 tablets three
times daily on an empty stomach. This dose should be steadily
raised at regular intervals if no improvement is seen.
Enzymatic digestion of this fibrin mesh is an important part
of cancer therapy. The processing of dead cancer cells is also
expedited by the digestion of tissue fragments caused by
enzyme therapy.

**Clinical Results With Cesium Therapy**

Dr. H. E. Sartori began his cesium cancer therapy program in
April 1981 at Life Sciences Universal Medical Clinics in
Rockville, Md. Fifty patients with widespread metastatic tumor
deposits were treated. Forty-seven of these 50 patients had
already completed maximal modalities of treatment, i.e.
surgery, radiation, multiple courses of chemotherapy before
cesium was tried. Their condition was hopeless.

Cesium chloride was given in 3 equal divided doses of 6 to 9
grams daily. Supplemental vitamin A emulsion (100,000 to
300,000 U), vitamin C (4 to 30 grams), zinc (80 to 100 mg.,
selenium (600 to 1200 mg.), and amygadalin (1500 mg.) were
given plus other supplements. The diet consisted primarily of
whole grains, vegetables, linolenic acid rich foods (flaxseed,
walnut, soy, wheat germ) and other supplemented food. EDTA
(chelation, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and a combination of
vitamins K, and magnesium salts were also given. The types of
malignancies treated included 10 patients with breast cancer,
9 with colon cancer, 6 with prostate cancer, 4 had pancreatic
cancer, 5 had lung cancer, 3 had liver cancer (hepatoma), 3
had lymphoma, 1 had Ewing's sarcoma of the pelvis, 1 had an
adenocarcinoma and 8 had cancer from an unknown site of
origin.

Approximately 50 % of patients with breast, colon, prostate,
pancreas and lung cancer survived. Three patients were
comatose when the therapy was initiated. Thirteen patients
died in the first 2 weeks of therapy. Autopsy results in each
of these 13 disclosed reduction in tumor mass size caused by
cesium therapy. Also pain disappeared in all patients within 1
to 3 days after initiation of cesium therapy. This may have
reflected decreased production of lactic acid by dying cancer
cells.

One breast cancer patient was of considerable interest. She
was comatose when cesium therapy was initiated using a feeding
tube. She received 10 grams of cesium chloride three times
daily. She walked out of the hospital 5 days later.
Unfortunately it was not appreciated that a hip had been
completely replaced by tumor tissue which disappeared with
therapy. Having no bony tissue to support her weight she fell
at home fracturing her neck resulting in death. The autopsy
revealed no hip bone and only very small amounts of cancer
tissue. This is a spectacular therapeutic result despite the
tragic death.

In a group of 8 patients where the site of origin of the
malignancy was unknown 2 patients died in the first 14 days
and 2 more died in the first year. Four of the patients were
still alive when last heard from more than a year later.
Conventional cancer therapy has never produced any results
like these as similar cases without a clear site of origin for
cancer usually die rapidly.

A patient with lymphoma had a huge hard abdomen. He weighed
250 pounds. 120 pounds of weight was lost in the first 3
months of cesium therapy. His spleen was initially in his
pelvis. This shrank to nearly normal size. The liver was
enlarged to the umbilicus before therapy. This returned to
normal size in 3 months. He was alive 3 years later at which
time he was again taking chemotherapy.

Dr. Sartori believes that doses of cesium should not exceed
20 to 40 grams daily because of side effects of nausea and
diarrhea. He felt that these results confirmed earlier results
by Messiha which had suggested that large doses of cesium
seemed to be more effective than low doses.

Dr. Sartori took 40 grams of cesium himself which caused only
nausea and unusual sensations around the mouth believed to be
related to potassium depletion. The usual dosage used in his
clinic was 2 or 3 grams three times daily. When there is no
remaining sign of cancer he thinks the dose can be safely
reduced to .5 or 1 gram daily. Some patients on cesium develop
evidence of potassium depletion so serum potassium needs to be
monitored along with uric acid blood levels. Any alkali
therapy changes the ph of the body toward a more alkalotic
state. This causes movement of potassium into cells which may
result in low serum potassium values. This movement of
potassium into cells means that a person can become seriously
depleted of potassium even if there is no diarrhea or
vomiting.

A case of primary liver cancer (hepatoma) was treated later.
She was a 39 year old school teacher who was terminal on
arrival on April 25, 1984. Her liver was enlarged 1 inch below
the umbilicus. She walked out of the hospital on May 10, 1984.
Her liver had shrunk to 2 inches above the umbilicus. The
alpha fetoprotein tumor marker for hepatoma had decreased from
39,000 units to 5000 units.

On one occasion Dr. Sartori noticed the disappearance of
metastatic tumor masses within one hour of cesium therapy. Two
days later wrinkles appeared in the skin where the tumor
masses had been located.

Physicist A. Keith Brewer became very interested in cancer in
the 1930s. He performed fundamental research on the membranes
surrounding normal cells, rapidly growing cells (embryonal and
cancerous) and dead tissue. The methods used by him included
spectrographic, fluorescence decay patterns, and
phosphorescence decay patterns of radioisotopes of potassium
in nature. He felt that he was one of only a few persons who
had actually studied ion transport across membranes.

His research enabled him to devise a protocol to treat cancer
patients using cesium. Dr. Brewer then treated 30 patients
with various cancers using cesium with all subjects surviving.
The patients he treated were obviously not as sick as those in
Dr. Sartori's group but his results provide further very
encouraging evidence about cesium's value.

Rescuing 25 cancer victims from certain death is a remarkable
accomplishment for cesium therapy. Conventional therapy for
malignancies using chemotherapy and radiation has never been
able to cure patients whose initial tumor has spread to
another site i.e. liver, lung , brain, etc. The nearly
deceased patients treated by Dr. Sartori had tumor deposits
scattered all over their bodies. A sizeable number (50 %) of
these patients recovered. Additionally, it is unheard of for a
patient whose site of origin of a tumor remains unknown to
recover. In Dr. Sartori's series 4 out of 8 such patients were
alive one year later.

I am sorry that the results of Sartori and Brewer's studies
using cesium have not received the wide publication they
deserve but this is not surprising. If you know a person with
"hopeless" or any other cancer cesium seems like a promising
direction to pursue.

In my opinion an ideal therapy for malignancies needs to meet
several criteria:

*Safety* --- There have been only a few serious
complications of cesium noted (perforations, severe nausea)
which may be avoided with liquid cesium.

*Simplicity* --- The therapy needs to be simple enough
that an ordinary practitioner can manage it. The patients not
requiring hospital care should be able to be cared for in an
office practice where any needed lab studies can be obtained.

*Reasonable Expense* --- While not cheap at $80 to $200
for a months supply of cesium this is a pittance compared to
the cost of chemotherapy and the certainty of unpleasant side
effects from chemotherapy agents.

*Easy Dissemination Of Information About Therapy* ---
The public needs to become aware that the pharmaceutical
industry and their friends in the FDA and other regulatory
agencies will do everything they can to block the spread of
information that could decrease the sale of chemotherapy
drugs. Cancer has been cured at least twelve times since 1900
but the public never hears about it. Lay people armed with a
little understanding of how cesium works and where it can be
purchased can save a lot of lives.

There are not many medical practitioners trained in some of
the effective sophisticated natural therapies used to treat
malignancies. With cancer now ready to supplant heart attacks
as the leading cause for death in the U.S. medical
practitioners will need to become teachers and enlist lay
people to spread good news if the cancer epidemic is to be
defeated. Expect no assistance from government bureaucrats
because their allegiance is clearly to the pharmaceutical
firms who take good care of them. Of course, this does not
mean that there are not many government employees sincerely
interested in public health measures. Unfortunately these
dedicated persons are not the ones making the decisions...

**Who Should Be Considered For Cesium Therapy?**

This is an ideal therapy for anyone with terminal malignancy.
If you know someone who has been told get your affairs in
order you only have 3 to 6 months to live that person has a
reasonable chance of recovery with cesium therapy. They may
need 3 to 6 grams of cesium three times daily to recover. The
person who is emaciated and unable to eat anything or is in a
terminal coma she get 9 grams of cesium three times daily.

Other cancer patients who have not lost their appetites and
are eating normally might be tried on one gram of cesium three
times daily with observation for signs of recovery (receding
tumor masses). The dose should be raised if there is no
obvious improvement in 4 to 6 weeks.

The ability of cesium to heal metastatic cancer and cancers
that have started and spread without their site of origin
being known makes cesium quite important in treating
malignancies. Cesium works in lymphomas so there is a
possibility it could cure leukemia and polycythemia vera as
well because the cells of origin in both are derived from bone
marrow ( lymphocytes, white blood cells, red blood cells).

Cesium, a mineral resource abundantly present in Manitoba
with important existing and potential industrial applications
was investigated to study its effects on biological systems.
Several rodent models of pharmacological activities were
utilized. The profile that emerged indicated that cesium is
only moderately toxic and exerts salubrious effects which
could be gainfully investigated for application in the
treatment of certain psychological disorders and some tumors.
Its conjunction with existing pharmacological agents for these
two types of disorders could yield a pharmacologically active
yet less toxic therapeutic combination.

A brief overview on the relevance in dietary factors in both
development and prevention of cancer is presented. The
pharmacologic properties of various food ingredients are
discussed. Establishing of a special diet for the cancer
patient is suggested. In addition, avoidance of certain foods
is recommended to counteract mucus production of cancer cells.
Evaluation of the nutrient content of certain diets in regions
with low incidence of cancer has advanced the use of certain
alkali metals, i.e., rubidium and cesium, as chemotherapeutic
agents. The rationale for this approach termed the "high pH"
therapy resides in changing the acidic pH range of the cancer
cell by cesium towards weak alkalinity in which the survival
of the cancer cell is endangered, and the formation of acidic
and toxic materials, normally formed in cancer cells, is
neutralized and eliminated.

The effect of CsCl on the life span of female Sprague-Dawley
rats innoculated with Novikoff's hepatoma was studied as a
function of both pre- and post-treatment with CsCl and as a
function of the inoculant dose. The effect of KCl on the CsCl
treatment was also studied. Rats treated with CsCl for 12
consecutive days prior to or immediately after inoculation
with 1.0 ml of viable hepatoma cell suspension showed an
increase in mortality score from corresponding controls.
Conversely, increases in the dose of the inoculant resulted in
delaying the onset of toxicity in rats receiving the
Cs-treatment after inoculation as evidenced by a decrease in
mortality. Availability of KCl in drinking water ad lib
further decreased total mortality when given alone but not
when combined with CsCl. The results indicate a dose-dependent
paradoxical effect of CsCl on Novikoff hepatoma cell toxicity
and suggest a critical intercellular balance requirement
between Cs+ and K+ on the effect studied.

The effect of pretreatment with CsCl on mice bearing sarcoma
I implants was studied as a function of duration of treatment
period, life span and tissue Cs+ and K+ levels. Treatment with
CsCl for 14 consecutive days prior to sarcoma implantation
resulted in initial reduction of the tumor-mediated mortality
compared to controls and to a one week pretreatment period
with identical doses of CsCl. A large accumulation of
endogenous K+ was noted in tumor mass compared to nonmalignant
tissue of the same animals or to tumor-free controls receiving
identical Cs-treatment. The entry of exogenously administered
Cs+ into malignant tissue was less than that accumulating in
respective controls. The accumulation of Cs+ in tumor mass was
dose-dependent. The ratio of K+:C+ was greater in tumor tissue
than in nonmalignant tissue. The results suggest that a
critical balance between these alkali metals may be required
for adequate Cs effect against the tumor studied.

the use of these compounds in a treatment protocol is
responsible for repression of tumor growth.

The effect of cesium therapy on various cancers is reported.
A total of 50 patients were treated over a 3 year period with
CsCl. The majority of the patients have been unresponsive to
previous maximal modalities of cancer treatment and were
considered terminal cases. The Cs-treatment consisted of CsCl
in addition to some vitamins, minerals, chelating agents and
salts of selenium, potassium and magnesium. In addition, a
special diet was also instituted. There was an impressive 50%
recovery of various cancers, i.e., cancer of unknown primary,
breast, colon, prostate, pancrease, lung, liver, lymphoma,
ewing sarcoma of the pelvis and adeno-cancer of the
gallbladder, by the Cs-therapy employed. There was a 26% and
24% death within the initial 2 weeks and 12 months of
treatment, respectively. A consistent finding in these
patients was the disappearance of pain within the initial 3
days of Cs-treatment. The small number of autopsies made
showed the absence of cancer cells in most cases and the
clinical impression indicates a remarkably successful outcome
of treatment.

 Mass spectrographic and isotope studies have shown that
potassium, rubidium, and especially cesium are most
efficiently taken up by cancer cells. This uptake was enhanced
by Vitamins A and C as well as salts of zinc and selenium. The
quantity of cesium taken up was sufficient to raise the cell
to the 8 pH range. Where cell mitosis ceases and the life of
the cell is short. Tests on mice fed cesium and rubidium
showed marked shrinkage in the tumor masses within 2 weeks. In
addition, the mice showed none of the side effects of cancer.
Tests have been carried out on over 30 humans. In each case
the tumor masses disappeared. Also all pains and effects
associated with cancer disappeared within 12 to 36 hr; the
more chemotherapy and morphine the patient had taken, the
longer the withdrawal period. Studies of the food intake in
areas where the incidences of cancer are very low showed that
it met the requirements for the high pH therapy.

The effect of separate and combined administration of 15%
ethanol and 0.2% CsCl solution on life span of rats with
Novikoff hepatoma implants was studied as a function of time
of initiation of treatment. Pretreatment with CsCl alone or
combined with ethanol resulted in earlier onset on morbidity
compared to the ethanol-treatment or to controls. As high as
87.5% of Cs-treated animals died 16 days post tumor
implantation compared to 33% of rats receiving CsCl and
ethanol combined. This protective action of ethanol against
Cs-evoked toxicity in tumor-bearing rats persisted through the
experiment. Animals subjected to drug treatment immediately
after tumor transplantation displayed delayed onset of
morbidity compared to drug pretreated rats. In both cases the
Cs-treatment enhanced morbidity by approximately 2 folds from
corresponding controls. Animals sacrificed 18 days post tumor
inoculation showed an induction of hepatic alcohol
dehydrogenase and an increase in Vmax without changes in the
apparent Km by the Cs-treatment. There was an increase in
liver mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase of hepatoma-bearing
rats from tumor-free controls which was associated with an
increase in the apparent Km value. The results indicate
potentiation of the hepatoma toxicity by CsCl which may be
minimized by ethanol. A role for hepatic enzymes determined in
the pathogenesis of tumor line studied and/or their use as a
biochemical correlate is suggested.

A high pH therapy for cancer arrived at theoretically was
tested in mice by feeding them rubidium carbonate. Tumours
were transplanted in the abdomen of mice and allowed to grow
for 8 days. The mice were then divided into two groups. The
control group was continued on conventional mouse chow. The
test group, in addition to the mouse chow, was force-fed 1.11
mg of rubidium carbonate dissolved in distilled water. At the
end of 13 more days the tumours in the controls had grown to a
large size so all the mice were sacrificed. The tumours were
then removed and weighed. The tumours in the test animals
weighed essentially one eleventh of those in the controls. In
addition the test animals were showing no adverse effects from
the cancers. The probability that this marked difference in
tumour size could have come about by chance is exceedingly
small.

The chloride salts of lithium (Li+) and cesium (Cs+) were
evaluated for their ability to influence the growth of Sarcoma
I implants in A/J mice. The administration of daily doses of
either 1 or 3 mEq/kg CsCl to these mice reduced the incidence
and size of tumor implants. This effect was not apparent in
animals receiving a smaller dose (0.5 mEq/kg) of the same
drug. At the time of sacrifice the serum level of Cs+ in this
latter group was approximately half that recorded in animals
receiving the higher doses of CsCl. No effect on tumor
incidence or rate of growth was observed in animals receiving
different doses of LiCl. Because of the similarities that
existed between cesium and potassium, it was postulated that
the effect of cesium was due to alterations in the
intracellular composition of the tumor cells. Also, the
possible role of cytotoxic agents in potentiating the
inhibitory effect of cesium on tumors was discussed.

**Cesium Chloride**

Other common name(s): high pH therapy

Scientific/medical name(s): CsCl

**Description**

Cesium is a rare, naturally occurring element of alkali metal
similar in chemical structure to lithium, sodium, and
potassium. Cesium chloride is a salt form of this element.

**Overview**

Radioactive cesium (cesium-137) is used in certain types of
radiation therapy for cancer patients. However, available
scientific evidence does not support claims that
non-radioactive cesium chloride supplements have any effect on
tumors. A few people have had life-threatening problems with
heart rhythm, seizures, loss of consciousness, and electrolyte
(blood chemistry) imbalances after taking cesium.

**How is it promoted for use?**

Cesium can be absorbed by all cells, probably due to its
similarity in chemical structure to potassium. Proponents
claim the intracellular pH of tumor cells is usually very low
(acidic) compared to normal cells, and that cesium chloride
supplements increase the pH level of tumor cells back to a
normal level, which is supposed to slow the cancer's growth.
Since cesium chloride is claimed to work by raising the pH of
the tumor cells, its use in therapy has been called "high pH
therapy." Available scientific evidence does not support this
theory.

**What does it involve?**

Cesium chloride supplements are available in pill form.
Proponents suggest a dosage of 1 to 6 grams per day, sometimes
dissolved in juice together with vitamins and other minerals.
Some practitioners give cesium chloride intravenously (IV).

**What is the history behind it?**

Interest in cesium therapy began when scientists observed
that certain regions of the world with low rates of certain
cancers had a high concentration of alkali metals in the soil.
As early as the 1920s, some researchers suggested cesium might
be effective as an anti-tumor agent. However, further
research, starting in the 1930s suggested cesium had no effect
on cancer cell growth. The use of cesium chloride for high pH
therapy was first advanced in the 1980s.

**What is the evidence?**

There is no evidence that the intracellular pH of a cancer
cell is any different than a normal cell or that malignant
cells are more susceptible than normal cells to toxic effects
of high pH. Thus, the underlying principle behind high pH
therapy remains unproven. Although it was observed that
certain areas with low rates of cancers had a high
concentration of alkali metals in the soil, it has never been
shown that differences in other risk factors or protective
factors were not involved, or that cesium provides any benefit
in the prevention or treatment of cancer.

Studies conducted in several experimental tumor models in the
1980s found that the use of cesium or cesium chloride led to
less tumor growth and fewer deaths of certain tumor-bearing
mice such as those with sarcoma or breast cancer. In animal
studies, chronic ingestion of cesium caused blood and
neuromuscular effects, and even death. Animal and laboratory
studies may show a substance has toxic effects, but further
studies are necessary to determine if the results apply to
humans. More research is needed to determine the risks and
safety of cesium. The benefit of cesium for people with
cancer, if any, is unknown.

**Are there any possible problems or complications?**

This product is sold as a dietary supplement in the United
States. Unlike drugs (which must be tested before being
allowed to be sold), the companies that make supplements are
not required to prove to the Food and Drug Administration that
their supplements are safe or effective, as long as they don't
claim the supplements can prevent, treat, or cure any specific
disease.

Some such products may not contain the amount of the herb or
substance that is written on the label, and some may include
other substances (contaminants). Actual amounts per dose may
vary between brands or even between different batches of the
same brand.

Most such supplements have not been tested to find out if
they interact with medicines, foods, or other herbs and
supplements. Even though some reports of interactions and
harmful effects may be published, full studies of interactions
and effects are not often available. Because of these
limitations, any information on ill effects and interactions
below should be considered incomplete.

In a case report from 1984, one person described his own
experiences after taking cesium chloride for 36 days. He took
3 grams of cesium chloride dissolved in fluid after his
morning and evening meals, which consisted of an alternative
dietary regimen. He describes an initial general feeling of
well-being and heightened sense perception, as well as
nausea, diarrhea, and tingling of his lips, hands, and feet.
This case report is very different from a clinical trial
involving many patients and is not helpful in deciding on a
safe dose of cesium. Another person, who may be younger,
older, smaller, or less healthy than this individual may not
do well with this dose.

In fact, several recent case reports have described serious
side effect in people with cancer taking similar doses,
including life-threatening problems with heart rhythm,
seizures, loss of consciousness, and electrolyte (blood
chemistry) imbalances in patients who were taking cesium. Full
information on the acute and chronic toxicity of this
substance is not fully known. Consuming large amounts of
cesium could result in nausea, diarrhea, disturbed heart
rhythm, loss of consciousness, or even death. Based on results
of animal studies, women who are pregnant or breast-feeding
should avoid taking cesium chloride supplements. Relying on
this type of treatment alone, and avoiding conventional
medical care, may also have serious health consequences.
