What the evidence shows
Memorial Sloan Kettering says there is no evidence it treats cancer. The only human data is a case series of people with advanced cancer in which about a quarter died within the first two weeks, which suggests it is highly toxic. The FDA warned people in 2020 to avoid supplements containing cesium salts.
What to do
