Sodium enters cancer cells quite nicely. Cellular osmotic balance

requires that cells pump sodium OUT not IN. The interior of cells

has 10 times less sodium than the inside. If cells could not do this

they would burst under the pressure of water entering the cells down

the concentration gradient. The cell must work to do this (active

transport) as it runs against the concentration gradient.

Things do not get into or out of a cell due to the charge. They

either move down a concentration gradient toward equillibrium, or

they are actively (to various degrees) transported against that

gradient for physiological purposes. Also, cancer cells are generally

NOT acidic on the inside. They run proton pumps that allow them to

dump lactate into the environment around the cell. This results in

an interior pH that runs from neutral to alkaline. If they were

acidic they would not be able to undergo mitosis, and we all know

that cancer cells are often in a mitotic state.

This is NOT called electron transport. Electron transport is

something entirely different. ET is the movement of electrons across

the inner mitochondrial membrane toward oxygen in order to produce

ATP. It is alternatively referred to as " oxidative phophorylation "

or " the electron transport chain " .

Urine pH reflects the renal tubular pH since last voiding the

bladder. In general the urine pH reflects the pH resulting from

food and beverages consumed in the last two hours. It is not an

indicator of what is going on in the rest of the body.

And these last two statements are based on what?
