They found that excessive salt inhibited the function of a type of immune cell scientists call myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) both in mice cells and in human MDSCs taken from cancer patients.
A high-salt environment stopped MDSCs from inhibiting other immune cells almost completely. Previous studies, explain the researchers, have suggested that MDSCs are key in preventing the immune system from effectively attacking tumors.
Cell cultures and mice models. Going to be impossible to answer that question without larger scale studies on humans. Salt also causes water retention and high blood pressure. High blood pressure leads to heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.
Salt is also excreted through the urine and the body demands more water to get rid of the salt when it becomes too high in the body. So how would you keep the sodium level high within the body if you excrete excess salt through urine and sweat. Sounds like there would be a crazy level of trade-offs for this to currently work.
Maybe if there was something like a targeted injection into the tumor, that may be able to work without overloading the entire system with salt.
I have been using Morton's Lite Salt for years. It is half sodium chloride and half potassium chloride. Many people get too much sodium and insufficient potassium.

A friend who manages the local Vitamin Shoppe told me about Cell Food. Supposedly very good for cancer. A Japanese tourist came into his store and bought all the Cell Food that was in stock. The Japanese use it --radiation--you know.
