Alternative cancer treatment with insulin potentiation therapy (IPT)

IPT (Insulin Potentiation Therapy) makes it easier and more effective for chemotherapy to kill cancer cells by combining it with glucose and insulin. Studies have shown that cancer cells use more sugar and are more sensitive to insulin than healthy cells. So, the insulin used in IPT makes cancer cells open up to take in chemotherapy. Insulin potentiation therapy (IPT) is an alternative cancer treatment method that uses low insulin doses to improve chemotherapy. IPT is based on the idea that low insulin doses can change cancer cells' metabolism. It makes them more "open" to chemotherapy by making them take more drugs. But there isn't enough evidence to support this claim of IPT for alternative cancer treatment. Before the IPT, the patient will be carefully checked out and have several lab blood tests. During IPT, people usually get a low insulin dose and a drug used in chemotherapy. Most of the time, insulin is given through an IV, and chemotherapy drugs can be taken by mouth or IV.
