Cesium
Cesium is a soft alkali metal that occurs in trace amounts in the environment. It has no known role in human nutrition.
What is “high pH” therapy claiming?
Proponents claim that cesium makes the inside of tumor cells more alkaline, stopping their division. MSK describes this as an unsubstantiated claim, not an established cancer treatment. 1
Has benefit been established?
The FDA states that cesium salts have not been shown to be safe and effective for cancer or any other use. That assessment sits alongside documented harm, rather than merely an unanswered efficacy question. 2 3
