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

1. Cesium limits the cellular uptake of glucose, which starves the cancer cell and reduces fermentation.
2. 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.

HOW CESIUM WORKS TO DESTROY CANCER CELLS:
A normal cell is encircled 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. An efficient 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 as it loses its ability to exchange oxygen (respiration). The cell then reverts to a primitive survival mechanism called fermentation. The newly formed anaerobic cancer cell cannot be repaired because fermentation is not reversible, so the cell is now out of control and must be destroyed as quickly as possible.

LOW INCIDENCE OF CANCER IN SOME AREAS OF THE WORLD:
There are a number of areas of the world where the incidence of cancer is very low. At the 1978 Stockholm Conference on Food and Cancer, it was concluded that there is a definite connection between food composition and cancer rates. Significant is the report on the presence of high levels of Cesium (Cs) and Rubidium (Rb) in food consumed in these areas, along with availability of various supportive compounds such as vitamins A and C, zinc, and selenium. Examples are the Hopi Indian territory (Arizona), the Hunza area (North Pakistan), and the volcanic regions of Brazil. The diets of these populations is similar to the nutritional requirements for the high pH cancer therapy developed by Dr. Brewer.

THE WORK AND FINDINGS OF 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 presence of Cs+ or Rb+ in the adjacent fluids of the tumor cell is believed to raise the pH of the cancer cell, causing cell growth and reproduction to cease, which results 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. Treatment was performed on 50 patients at Life Science Universal Medical Center Clinics in Rockville, MD and in Washington, DC. All patients were terminal subjects with generalized metastatic disease. Forty-seven of the fifty patients studied had received maximum modalities of treatment, i.e., surgery, radiation, and various chemotherapies, before the metabolic Cs-treatment was initiated. Three patients were comatose and 14 of the patients were considered terminal.

The diet during treatment consisted mainly of whole grains, vegetables, linoleic 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 vitamin K and Mg salts. An overall 50% recovery from cancer by the Cs-therapy was determined in the fifty patients treated. 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.

Both Cs+ and Rb+ can enter cancer cells and embryonic cells, but not normal adult cells as has been demonstrated by Dr. Brewer. While the amount of Na+ (sodium) is greater in cancer cells, the amount of calcium in cancer cells is only about 1% that in normal cells. The great reduction in the amount of calcium found in cancer cells is due to the higher acid content in the cancer cell. The acid eats away at the alkaline calcium in the body’s attempt to neutralize itself. This would explain why osteoporosis and cancer go hand-in-hand and often reside in the same body. When Cs+ or Rb+ enters the cancer cells, 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 life span of the cancer cell is considerably shortened (only hours).
