21.) I am feeling a rumbling in my stomach.  Is this normal?

It is not normal, but stomach upsets sometimes occur with cesium or with other supplements that are included in the protocol. This is particularly true of vitamin C.

22.) How often should I have my potassium checked?

It is advisable to check potassium levels about 2 weeks after beginning cesium, and then repeat it every two to four weeks. It is imperative that if you experience heart palpitations you have your potassium checked immediately.

 
23.) Is the dosage different for people of different weights?

For most people, the dosage is the same and is based on a person weighing about 150 pounds. For children or pets, it should be scaled proportionately to their size. For heavier individuals the 3 grams per day minimum should still prove sufficient. The reason for this is that the amount of cesium required is mostly determined by the extent of the malignancy, not the size of the individual. It will also be determined to some degree by the amount of cesium the individual can tolerate. Some people have taken as much as six to twelve grams per day by mouth. The effectiveness of cesium, like most medications, is dose related. Therefore six grams a day is likely to be more effective sooner than three.

24.) I think I may have cancer, but I am not sure, yet.  Should I start taking this just to be on the safe side?

It is better to wait for a definitive diagnosis before beginning cesium. It is true that in certain regions of the world where the food and water supplies have high levels of cesium and rubidium cancer is virtually unknown, suggesting that at some level smaller doses of these minerals might prevent cancer. There has not, however, been any research to determine what level of mineral content in the diet would be necessary to provide such protection, or how long a period of time would elapse before the protective qualities took hold. Clearly, the appropriate level would be significantly lower than the therapeutic level required to fight active cancer, but we simply do not know what it is. Therefore, we cannot recommend taking cesium as a preventative measure at this time.

25.) I had surgery, and the doctor tells me that “he got it all”.  Should I continue with this protocol?

Yes.  In fact, it is fairly common for cancer surgery to be followed up with some additional treatment, usually either radiation or chemotherapy. The reason for this is that in many instances, a small number of cancer cells may have been missed or even gravitated to another site, as yet undetected. This follow-up treatment is based in the notion that it is better to be safe than sorry.  Cesium is particularly well suited to this purpose because it does not distinguish between types of cancer cells – it attacks any cancer cell wherever it is in the body without harming healthy (i.e. alkaline) cells.

26.) How long does the cesium stay in my system?

The half-life of cesium appears to be 65 days.

27.) I have taken the cesium for 4 months, and I have stopped.  Can I take it again?

If a person has finished the 4 month period, it should be taken again only if the problem still exists, and in that instance, it is advisable to take a break of 4 to 6 months to allow the cesium to complete its half-life cycle.
