Conventional dosages of chemotherapies are harming the immune system as well as all other organs. As a result of weakening the immune system, our immune cells’ capability to detect and attack cancer cells is impaired.

Therefore, we use a form of low-dose chemotherapy, which protects the organs and the immune system and can even be applied when classical methods no longer help. To achieve this, we combine chemotherapy with substances that reduce blood sugar. The technique is called IPT.

Glucose (Sugar) is essential for every cancer cell, and without glucose, cancer cells cannot produce energy and maintain their metabolism.

Compared to healthy cells, cancer cells greatly depend on the supply of sugar. To absorb more sugar per period than normal cells, they have more receptors than healthy cells on their cell surface. The result is faster and more aggressive growth.

Verita Life combines different treatments depending on what the patient needs.

With IPT, how does that work?

IPT stands for Insulin Potential Therapy. This is an integrative therapy, combining both conventional and alternative therapies together. The conventional part of it is using chemotherapy; the alternative part is to make it suitable for the patients without giving them any severe side effects as chemotherapy does.

The idea behind the treatment came a long time ago when it was discovered that sugar is the main source of energy for cancer, so if we lowered the sugar levels in the blood, what would happen to cancer? Here, insulin is playing two roles. One, we are combining chemotherapy with insulin. The role of insulin is going into 2 parts. One is that it lowers sugar levels in the patients’ body; and puts cancer into metabolic stress, so the cancer becomes weaker.

The second part is that cancer cells have insulin receptors on their surface, more than any other healthy cells or cells that attract sugar to it. So, when we inject the insulin,

insulin is binding with these receptors, as if marking or targeting the cancer cells for chemotherapy. So, at this time, we use a low dose of chemotherapy; which varies between 10 to 20 or 25% of the conventional dose. At this time here, we have a greater effect of the actual dose that’s been given, with very few side effects.

When the insulin enters the body, the cancer cell is hungry. And while it’s hungry, the glucose and the low-dose chemotherapy goes in; and because the cancer cell is so hungry, it sees glucose available mixed with a bit of low-dose chemotherapy, and it would grab it; and that means that it basically medicated itself with the chemotherapy and I would suppose, that it would then be a way of chemotherapy to target the cancer cell rather than other cells of the body.

Calculated Dose for Optimum Effect
We do not need to use the glucose everytime because there are certain chemo drugs which have glucose already inside it. That’s what sometimes makes cancer attracted to chemotherapy conventionally. That is always making cancer hungry and starving, and then giving it a low dose, which makes it become very weak; and the result could be greater than the dose that is given to the patient for chemotherapy.

The insulin is always calculated according to the patients’ body weight and their blood results. So first the patients’ blood sugar is tested before we give the insulin dose. And then, the insulin works for about 30 minutes at this stage. So, within 30 minutes, we are monitoring the sugar level until we get to that level, which we call metabolic stress. And then we give the patient chemotherapy.

Metabolic Stress and chemotherapy
Metabolic stress is a very hungry cancer. Exactly. Very hungry, very weak… very, let’s say, irritated cancer cells. And that’s the opportunity then for the chemotherapy to penetrate and go inside and kill cancer. And how much, I mean compared to the normal conventional treatment, how much chemotherapy is actually going in? It always starts with 10% and then goes up to a maximum of 20 to 25%.

So, a lot less than conventional treatment. Much less than the conventional treatment. And it has fewer side effects. Definitely, we don’t have the major side effects of conventional chemotherapy. As loss of hair, depressed immune system, mouth ulcers, and so on- we won’t have these. Of course, it’s chemotherapy; it will have very minor side effects, but the patient doesn’t feel these side effects.

IPT a Fantastic Example of Combination Treatment
We can sometimes see these side effects on the blood works, sometimes, maybe elevated liver enzymes, but it is not elevated to a point; that it is dangerous. And, at Verita life, we have a protocol for every chemo drug, so what we can do is or what we do usually is that we give a chemo protection one day before and one day after, in order to help the bone marrow to produce more healthier cells, protect the healthy cells from the chemotherapy as well. So, the side effects are even less with this. I feel the IPT is such a fantastic example of using conventional treatment and alternate treatment together. It’s trying to get the best outcome for both treatments for patients.
