Insulin Potentiated Therapy (IPT)

Does anyone have experience (good or bad) with IPT ?

For this not aware, The following is a lay persons summary:
IPT uses low dose chemo to kill cancer.
Which chemo to use is selected by analyzing the cancer cells in your blood.
Insulin is first injected, the cancer cells "open wide" expecting sugar but instead the low dose chemo enters the cancer cells and kills them.

Sedona,

Welcome to the forum. Sorry that you have prostate cancer. Please tell us about your cancer and the treatments you have received. That way we can be of better assistance for you.

Injecting insulin to fight cancer? Theoretically because insulin's #1 function is to carry sugar inside of cells, so supposedly it will in this case hep get the chemo inside of the cancer cells?

Well, you never know. I have not read much about this one way or another. But one thing I have read a lot about is excess blood insulin's role as a growth factor for virtually all types of cancer, as well as a factor in many diseases. And that as a class, type 2 diabetics(by definition high blood insulin and maybe even having to inject even more) do worse when it comes to most cancers. And I have even seen a PC specific study showing worse results by a factor of 3 to 8 times worse for those with the highest insulin.

So, I don't know if- rather than promoting cancers and causing harm as extra insulin normally does- injecting insulin with chemo can actually help in the fight against cancers. (Although I do know that injecting too much insulin- relative to the amount of sugar/carbs taken in- can flat out kill you).

But if I was trying to figure that out, I would in the meantime be doing whatever I reasonably could to lower, and NOT raise, my blood insulin levels, for all kinds of health reasons including likely being a big help against various cancers. And this is consistently doable by cutting sugar, carbs, and/or intermittent fasting and increasing exercise.
