Is it possible to complement ongoing chemotherapy and prescribed 5 sessions of radiotherapy with cessium chloride therapy? Will alkaline rich foods/drinks interfere in these pro esses?

Cesium is a rare, naturally-occurring element of alkali metal; Cesium chloride is the salt form of the element cesium. Cesium can be absorbed by all the cells in the body. You should know that this is different from the radioactive cesium (cesium-137) used in some types of radiation therapy. It is said that the pH level inside of tumor cells is usually very low (acidic) compared to normal cells, and that cesium chloride supplements raise the pH level of tumor cells to a normal level, ultimately leading to slowing cancer growth. This is called high pH therapy.
There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that the pH inside cancer cells in the body is any different than that of normal cells, or that the pH inside the body can be altered to a significant degree. And although studies conducted in several experimental tumor models back in the 1980s showed decreased tumor growth and fewer deaths in certain mice with cancerous tumors with the use of cesium chloride, it was also shown that giving cesium over the long term caused serious blood and neuromuscular side effects and even death. As such, further studies are necessary to learn whether the results apply to humans.
Furthermore, the medical literature contains various case reports describing serious adverse effects in people with cancer who have taken cesium chloride, including life-threatening problems with heart rhythm, seizures, loss of consciousness, and electrolyte imbalances. Cesium appears to affect the levels and effects of potassium, a common and very important element in the body, which can cause many of these problems. The latest reports on this matter suggest that these effects may not appear before weeks or even months of cesium administration. Additionally, intake of large amounts of cesium, or taking cesium over several weeks or months, can result in nausea, diarrhea, disturbed heart rhythm, loss of consciousness, or even death.
