HIGH AND LOW pH THERAPIES
Only two therapies will be mentioned
here. Both are apparently effective. These are the Low pH
therapy devised by Von Ardenne et al. [23-25]
and the High pH therapy developed by the writer.
The Low pH Therapy
In this therapy devised by Von Ardenne, glucose is injected into the blood stream. As a
consequence, the cancer cell pH will drop eventually to the
5.5 range. The patient is then placed in a furnace heated to
104 degrees Fahrenheit for a matter of hr [23-25].
The older the patient, the fewer the number of hours. The
patient is allowed to breathe cold air. Diathermy is also
applied over the tumor area which, in the absence of a blood
supply, will cause the temperature of the mass to rise to
something over 106 degrees Fahrenheit. At these high
temperatures and in the acid medium, the life of cancer
cells is very short. The only drawback to the therapy is
that a case of severe toxemia may result from the
out-leakage of the acid toxins within the tumor masses
[23-25].
The High pH Therapy
The ready uptake of cesium and
rubidium by the cancer cells lead the writer to the High pH
therapy. This consists of feeding the patient close to 6 g
of CsCl or RbCl per day in conjunction with the
administration of ascorbic and retionic acids, Vitamins C
and A, which being weak acids, upon absorption by the tumor
cells will enhance the negative potential gradient across
the membrane, and also zinc and selenium salts which, when
absorbed on the membrane surface, will act as broad and
moderately strong electron donors. Both types of compounds
have been shown in mice to drastically enhance the pickup
for cesium and rubidium ions.
The toxic dose for CsCl is 135 g. The
administration of 6 g per day therefore has no toxic
effects. It is sufficient however to give rise to the pH in
the cancer cells, bringing them up in a few days to the 8 or
above where the life of the cell is short. In addition, the
presence of Cs and Rb salts in the body fluids neutralizes
the acid toxins leaking out of the tumor mass and renders
them nontoxic.
