There are several explanations of how IPT (Insulin Potentiation Therapy) works. Read more here. We prefer to use the knowledge of how to maximize the treatment effect, and leave the theory to later discussion. In some cases IPT can be an alternative to conventional chemotherapy. The primary thrust of IPT is to avoid most or all of the toxic side effects of the chemo agents. Less toxicity on the digestive system means better nutrition as the metabolism is failing, possibly reversing the condition. Consequently, the patient feels better and has an improved quality of life. 

A major advantage of IPT is allowing us to use immune therapy and chemotherapy together, which is not possible with conventional high dose chemotherapy. This is not just immune boosting but true immunotherapy. (Read more). Little recognized is that some types of immune therapy can make cancer cells, but not normal cells, more sensitive to chemo agents. Therefore, initiating immune therapy and then starting IPT can have an enhanced effect on fighting the cancer. Some natural products contain anticancer activity that can be increased in the presence of certain chemo agents presenting us with another avenue to elicit overall cancer therapy.
