What evidence is there that the High pH Therapy works?
ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS Beginning in 1979, Dr. Brewer began a series of experiments to prove his theory. He had already directly observed the effects on cells in vitro. The next stage was to demonstrate it worked in animals. The first animal experiments to establish the efficacy of Dr. Brewers High pH Therapy were conducted at three universities using mice as test animals. As noted earlier, Dr. Brewer had considered both cesium and rubidium as candidates for this treatment. The initial experiment employed rubidium. The first animal study was conducted at the American University in Washington, D.C. in 1979. In this trial mice were implanted with 2mm cubes of mammary tumor. The resultant tumors were allowed to grow for eight days. The test animals were divided into two groups and fed a normal diet. Half of them, however, were also given 1.1 mg of rubidium carbonate by mouth. After thirteen days, the mice were killed and measurements were taken of the tumor growth. Researchers found that the t
