Strange Cures And Treatments For Cancer

Cesium Chloride

Cesium chloride is a non-radioactive salt formed from an alkali metal referred to as cesium. Cesium chloride is thought to help fight cancer cells because some malignant cells are attracted to cesium ions. When cancer cells in an individual's body take in cesium chloride, their intracellular pH increases, and their acidity is diminished. The high pH in cancerous cells induced by cesium chloride is shown to stop their process of cell division or mitosis. Cesium chloride essentially causes the cancerous cells to starve once penetrated because a high pH causes a limited ability to uptake glucose. Cancerous cells survive on glucose by utilizing a process referred to as fermentation, which cesium chloride is also known to inhibit. Without enough glucose and the ability to undergo fermentation to metabolize that glucose, cancerous cells will starve and die. While it has shown efficacy in shrinking cancerous tumors, cesium chloride also has harsh side effects, which include abnormal heart rhythm, syncope, electrolyte imbalances, and seizures.
