Does Caesium Chloride Help In Treating Cancer?

hi. I have a question. What is Caesium chloride and what does it do? my uncle has stage for metastatic bladder cancer and he has been taking this stuff. he claims it will cure him as opposed to chemo. he recently (3 days ago) took the caesium chloride and is now in the hospital with a 105 fever. he thinks it is the caesium killing the cancer cells, but I think it is tumor fever. What is going on. is this stuff helping him or harming him?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Caesium chloride is an alternate form of medicine and has been used in some people for the treatment of cancer. The outcome of caesium chloride treatment has not been widely explored and statistics available are limited in this form of therapy. However, there are researches showing that few patients have benefited from this type of treatment.

It will be important to know that your uncle has stage 4 disease and the life expectancy in this condition is up to 2 years from detection of cancer with chemotherapy and care. In this situation, some treatment is better than no treatment and therefore if he is refusing to take chemotherapy then his treatment with caesium chloride might work in slowing the disease to some extent. Please note that these treatments are to be given under recommendation to avoid adverse effects which might harm his health. The fever he is experiencing might be due to infection from his cancer related lowered immunity status. Please do not worry.
