Cesium Chloride to Treat Cancer

Here's a simple, cheap and relatively side-effect-free treatment (with due precautions, of course) for certain types of cancer. Like dichlroacetate (DCA), cesium chloride falls into that category of "non-profitable development" for pharmaceutical companies, because it can't be patented. The solution: Focused national-level development of the treatment for widespread, subsidized use. Yes, I mean government-sponsored development. The numbers could very well prove that it is cheaper to develop a new treatment than to continue paying for current ones.
