Guest guest Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 When I was diagnosed w/breast cancer, I looked into this & talked to some people.. One was a Dr practicing in Alabama?? or Georgia?? can't remember the precise state. I was told the series would cost about 12,000 & ins didnt cover it at that time (this was Dec., '05. Basically, the Dr. explained that they artificially lower your blood sugar level (all this in clinical surroundings) then.. when it is optimal, they give you glucose & then the chemo drugs by iv. Again, you are closely monitered. The chemo dose is only about 10% or less of a normal chemo dose. The side effects are almost nil. The theory is... cancer cells use glucose in extraordinary proportions compared to normal cells. When the glucose hits your blood stream, it is taken up by the cancer cells. Well.... the chemo is right behind it, so the cancer cells also are taking up the chemo drugs. Most of your normal cells are left out of the process which is why you get few side effects from the IPT. You have this done 2 - 3 times a week for 4 - 6 weeks was my understanding at the time. You need to do your homework. There was a legitimate web site for IPT when I was researching but it was down at the time for maintenance so I moved on to other things. Plus, being retired & having a limited income, it wasn't financially feasible for me at the time. If I had the money, I would do it in a heartbeat after finding a legitimate practitioner. I will try to find the site & the Dr. I talked to & get back with you...

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 I think they do IPT in Carson City, Nevada DrM Shallenberger. www.antiagingmedicine.com. I haven't done it so can't tell you anything about the treatment. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry [ ] IPT for breast cancer Would anyone know what sort of chemotherapy doses are used with IPT (Insulin Potentiation Therapy) for breast cancer, or in general? Any technical details and information that anyone might have about IPT, or someone to contact, would be really appreciated! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Lola, You're absolutely right Cancer cells do go after glucose fast and furiously. One day the medical establishment might put that together.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Thank you for posting the video link below. Very good explanation by an MD on how he treats cancer by building the immune system and how he does it . He developed ProloZone Therapy, a remarkably effective treatment for joint and spine disorders. val erie From: " algarve7 " Thanks for that!

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I found the research paper which he shows in the video which shows most breast cancer cells have significantly increased insulin receptors. Elevated Insulin Receptor Content in Human Breast Cancer http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC296896/pdf/jcinvest00077-0131.pdf And another later paper of theirs: Insulin Receptor Expression and Function in Human Breast Cancer Cell Lines http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/cgi/reprint/52/14/3924.pdf So there's probably good reason to keep blood sugar low and undertake periods regular of fasting. Before IPT they recommend patients fast before dinner the night before to bring their blood sugar level down before the therapy. > > I think they do IPT in Carson City, Nevada DrM Shallenberger. www.antiagingmedicine.com.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 My IPT notes below: I think IPT (if done correctly) is a great treatment for many cancers (including breast cancer [bC]). Excerpts from my notes are below. I recently attended IPT conference. Let me know if you have specific questions. insulin potentiation therapy (IPT) -- cost is moderate; use of insulin to enhance effects of chemotherapy. IPT uses only 5-20% the standard chemo dosage and is generally equally effective and sometimes much more effective than conventional chemo; however, it often takes longer than conventional chemo to produce results; has been administered to tens of thousands of patients. Highly synergistic w/hyperthermia, oxygen therapies, & IV vit. C. According to 2009 edited bk on IPT, it works best w/breast cancer (BC), PC, lung [sCLC & NSCLC], colon, stomach cancer, lymphoma [including NHL], and melanoma. www.iptq.com/uruguay2003.htm (IPT-like Clinical Trial with breast cancer) " IPT…is far safer than full-dose chemotherapy and it does not ravage the immune system the way most chemo drugs do….IPT is an outstanding tool. I have seen many patients benefit from it. I do think an additive benefit comes from following it with whole body hyperthermia….The glucose that is used with IPT also temporarily acidifies the blood, and this acidification is a hyperthermia sensitizer " Gammill, www.natural-oncology.org, 12/24/05 “we [www.sdiegoclinic.com] often do certain oral forms of IPT with hyperthemia and oxygen along with sensitizers for each...This must be individualized " Gammill, 8/4/09 /message/40664 " I have been doing quite a bit of research lately on IPT....seems made to order for dealing systemically with most stage 1 and 2 cancers. One can expect results without compromising the immune system....leaves the door open for concurrent immune therapies. Sometimes stage 3 cancers go into remission " (Gammill, 7/02) " patients do not suffer...the side effects associated with chemo " (Gammill, 7/02) " works well w/antioxidants " " for anyone who has early stage cancer, such as breast cancer...your chances of complete remission are close to 100% " Donato's found that once/week works as well as twice/week Gammill (12/05) believes in doing IPT long-term (about 60 treatments total) using small doses (12-15% [which is standard], dosages small enough so that immune system can help out) of multiple drugs (alternated), not too frequently. " IPT is part of an NCI research project....Dr. Hauser's book `Treating Cancer with IPT' is very informative and concise. ISBN 0-9661010-6-5. It's available from www.caringmedical.com/aboutus/therapylist.asp " (Dr. Bormann, drcnb@..., 7/02) " insurance DOES NOT cover it typically " For directories of IPT doctors and more info, www.iptforcancer.com/ipt/search.php (incomplete directory) www.iptq.com (history & science of IPT, by Duffield) www.alternativecancer.us Leonard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Ty Bollinger's book " Cancer, Step Outside the Box, " has a good section on this as well as references on who is doing it. You can download the book or order a hard copy for about $25 if I remember correctly. Debbie Would anyone know what sort of chemotherapy doses are used with IPT (Insulin Potentiation Therapy) for breast cancer, or in general? Any technical details and information that anyone might have about IPT, or someone to contact, would be really appreciated! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 If you are in the NY area there is a Dr. Linchitz who does it. You can check his site http://linchitzwellness.com/?gclid=CMuiy-qv_54CFRQhnAodM0N8Kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Sorry, I should add that we've got a doctor, but he's never done IPT before. So we need to get some more information about some of the finer details about IPT, such as how long to keep the blood sugar level at the target range before infusing the chemotherapy, and how fast to infuse it. We also aren't sure about whether to infuse the glucose with the chemo, or after and how much glucose should be used (concentration etc). Thanks for any help.
