Insulin Potentiation Therapy

Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT)

Chemotherapy has many unpleasant side effects. But these can be avoided: A markedly gentler variant of traditional chemotherapy but without many of the side effects is the so called Insulin Potentiation Therapy. Chemotherapeutical substances are combined with insulin which has the advantage that only about a fifth of the normally used chemotherapeutical substances is applied. This method was developed by the Mexican military surgeon Dr Donato Perez Garcia who succeeded in treating various illnesses, and from 1932 also cancer, by the administration of insulin.

The problem with traditional chemotherapy

In orthodox medicine, chemotherapy is the routinely used therapy against cancer. But it has three fundamental disadvantages:

1. Chemotherapeutics do not know the difference between malignant and non-malignant cells which means that non-malignant cells are predominantly damaged, as they divide frequently, just as cancer cells do. Also effected are mucosas, hair roots and especially bone marrow in which blood and defence cells are formed.
2. There is no reliable method to determine before treatment begins whether the cancer cells will react to the treatment. It is therefore unavoidable that many patients are treated without any result.
3. Chemotherapy damages only those cancer cells which are in the process of dividing. Inactive cells are not effected. These gradually develop immunity against the cytotoxin and often show increased proliferation. As these cells get used to the cytotoxin, it is not possible to administer chemotherapeutics of the same type more than six times.

Insulin and Cancer Cells

The endogenic hormone insulin is produced in the pancreas and is responsible for the transport of nutrients from the blood into the cells. Insulin attaches itself to cells, making them more receptive to the absorption of nutrients. One of the differences between normal and cancer cells is that cancer cells have by far more insulin receptors, this means that cancer cells are much more receptive to insulin than normal cells. When the organism receives nutrients they mostly reach cancer cells, which attack the nutrients greedily, increasingly taking nutrients away from the organism which leads to the patient becoming weaker and feebler.

Treatment with IPT

IPT uses the fact that cancer cells are more voracious than insulin receptors. At the beginning of the treatment, the patient has an empty stomach, so that there are no nutrients in the blood. The blood-sugar level is lowered by intravenous administration of insulin which increasingly attaches itself to the cancer cells. About half an hour later the chemotherapeutics are administered which are greedily absorbed by the cancer cells. Finally glucose is given, which restores the blood-sugar level.

One session lasts between two and three hours. The advantage of this method is that chemotherapeutics, unlike traditional chemotherapy, are not distributed all over the body, but by the use of insulin they are directed more precisely to the cancer cells, correspondingly the dosis of chemotherapeutics administered can be considerably reduced. Accordingly there is less or no damage to the organism and also side effects are greatly reduced or do not occur.

Advantages of IPT at a glance

• There are none or hardly any side effects by the use of smaller dosis of chemotherapeutics.
• Cytotoxin is dispersed to a lesser extent and predominantly reaches cancer cells which are the main target.
• Insulin is a nutritional hormone, which means, it restricts the breaking down of fat and builds up the organism, thus counteracting the body’s deterioration caused by cancer. Patients treated with insulin regain their appetite and generally feel better.
• Drastic damages of the organism which are often caused when administering cytostatic agents, do not occur.
• Cancer cells are so-to-speak fooled by insulin, so that they uncritically “eat” anything that comes along. Cells develop resistence to cytotoxin much later than is the case with traditional chemotherapy.
• IPT is not bound to chemotherapy. Other, less toxic substances can be used too, which derive from naturopathy.
• Cancer causes a large degree of stress in the body, resulting in a chronic lack of adrenalin and the patient experiencing a state of exhaustion. By giving insulin, the stress hormon releases adrenalin and the patient feels better.
