Cancer is a complex disease that affects millions of people worldwide. While conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy can be effective in killing cancer cells, they often come with significant side effects. As a result, many cancer patients turn to alternative treatments, including alkalizing therapies, to complement their conventional treatments. Alkalizing therapies aim to create an alkaline environment within the body, which proponents believe can help prevent the growth and spread of cancer cells. This article will provide an overview of some of the most commonly used alkalizing therapies in the treatment of cancer, including high pH therapy, ionized water, and others.
HIGH PH THERAPY/DR A KEITH BREWER/CESIUM CHLORIDE
High pH therapy is a cancer treatment approach that aims to create an alkaline environment within the body. The treatment is based on the idea that cancer cells thrive in acidic environments and cannot survive in alkaline conditions. The goal of high pH therapy is to raise the pH level of the body’s tissues and fluids, making the body more alkaline and less acidic. This is done through various methods, including diet, supplements, and alkaline water.
Dr. A Keith Brewer was a chemist who first proposed the idea that cancer cells thrive in acidic environments in the 1950s. He believed that cancer cells could be destroyed by raising the pH level of the body’s tissues and fluids. Brewer’s work led to the development of high pH therapy, which has been used as a complementary treatment for cancer.
Cesium chloride is a supplement that is often used in high pH therapy. It is an alkaline mineral that is believed to raise the pH level of the body’s tissues and fluids. Cesium chloride has been used in alternative cancer treatments for decades, although there is limited scientific evidence to support its effectiveness.
While high pH therapy is generally considered safe, there are some potential risks and side effects. The treatment can alter the body’s pH balance, which can lead to complications such as metabolic alkalosis. This can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and muscle twitching.
Despite its potential risks, high pH therapy is still used by some cancer patients as a complementary treatment. However, it is important to note that high pH therapy should not be used as a replacement for conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

ALKALIZE FOR HEALTH 8 PART PROGRAM IONIZED WATER
Ionized water, also known as alkaline water, is water that has been ionized to create a more alkaline pH level. The process of ionization involves separating the positive and negative ions in water through an electrolysis process. This results in water with a higher pH level and a negative oxidation reduction potential (ORP).
Proponents of ionized water claim that it has numerous health benefits, including cancer prevention and treatment. They argue that the alkaline environment created by ionized water can help prevent cancer cells from growing and spreading, while also enhancing the body’s natural detoxification processes.
However, there is limited scientific evidence to support these claims. While some studies have suggested that ionized water may have antioxidant properties and can help reduce oxidative stress, there is little research to support its effectiveness in cancer prevention or treatment.
Despite the lack of scientific evidence, many cancer patients still use ionized water as a complementary treatment. However, it is important to note that ionized water should not be used as a replacement for conventional cancer treatments.
