An IPT study: " randomized clinical trial...30 women with metastatic breast cancer resistant to [chemo] and...hormone therapy....the methotrexate-treated group and the insulin-treated group responded most frequently with progressive disease.

There are better ways to handle the situation. It seems useful for stage two cancers and very useful for stage three cancers. Stage four cancers should be a judgment call. I have often seen it work on stage four cancers as part of a much greater aggressive protocol. Such a protocol usually includes whole body hyperthermia with sensitizers†Gammill, 12/27/05 It works best w/breast, prostate, lung [sCLC & NSCLC], colon, lymphoma [including NHL], and melanoma. Also very effective w/myeloma and ovarian cancer. Also somewhat effective w/esophageal and pancreatic cancer. It’s usually not very effective w/brain cancer and slow-growing cancers.

I heard a doctor say you have a much better chance of insurance coverage if you call it “low-dose chemotherapy†rather than “IPT†on the insurance form. Let me know if you'd like more info on IPT or IPT doctors. Leonard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hi Greg and All, I myself am recovered from stage 4 uterine cancer, almost 4 years now, and IPT was my choice after surgery. Only 9 treatments in 2 months did the trick plus some follow ups. You can read more stories at www.iptforcancer.com and go to the patient survivor site. Read Annie's story with metastasized breast cancer to full recovery, for example. I have helped many people find IPT since then, and have seen and heard many recovery stories while getting my monthly vitamin C preventative drips at the clinic. One such story that sticks in my mind is when the husband asked the doctor about his wife's clear test results and amazing recovery from a very severe cancer. " But doctor, " he said, " How is it that my wife has recovered when the traditional doctors said there was no hope? " The doctor replied, " They just don't know what we do here. It's not their fault. They weren't trained in our methods. " I personally believe that healing takes place on many levels. If chemo is your choice of recovery, I personally feel that IPT is the way to go. I have witnessed people getting traditional chemo with only a fraction of one drug I had, and having side effects. I had 4 drugs and No side effects! just....the good effect of the recovery. I strongly intuit that each individual has to totally be on board with their method of choice. That is a big part of the battle. I am always glad to hear of other ways, such as 's recovery. Equally, I have had to accept that my father choice radiation and traditional chemo last year, and because he believed in it 100%, it seemed to work. I myself would never have chosen that. Then there are surrounding things that will help support the person, such as good diet, supplements, and even other infusion drips as in Vit. C and other great additions that the IPT doctors will use. At least my doctor in Oceanside used a LOT of additional things, including homeopathics, vitamins, etc. And of course, attitude and good energy towards your treatment of choice. I hope this has been helpful. I think if you are considering IPT and/or any other therapy the most important is to hear a few stories, but that is not the end of it....I strongly believe that you must tune into which method Resonates with You! What feels right in your gut and your senses and body/mind, for this will be the right path calling out to you. So good luck wherever you decide to turn.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Will be 4 years in March. In response to some other thoughts being presented, I have found that all doctors have " unique " personalities and quirks and each person their own limitations in one way or another. However, I have personally found my IPT doctors to be fantastic at trying whatever will work, and I see them extending themselves with other people I am counseling, even when it means not using IPT, and something else. So yes, one should find a doctor that one trusts. In my case, I did not put all my eggs in one nest, as they say. I have had nutritional and supplement coaching elsewhere, etc. etc. A good patient is always one who asks a lot of questions and incorporates as much as they can themselves.
