Hello CancerChat!
Thanks for taking the time to read this. My Aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and had a double-mastectomy. She was undergoing chemotherapy and appears to be progressing appropriately. I have since learned more about chemotherapy and I came across a hybrid treatment of sorts called Insulin Potentiated Therapy (IPT). Have you heard of it? I tried finding forums, blogs and more about it for reviews, but I can't really locate anything? I did find an alternative cancer treatment centre (with lots of FAQs and similar) - but I still want to read "real patient" reviews. Do you know of any places I can learn more?
From what I gather it is a mix of low-dose chemo and natural mixtures of nutrients meant to kill the cancer, while not going overboard and hurting other parts of your body. The reason I am interesting in this option is because I know chemo is so hard on the body. From the sounds of it, it's weakening, sickening and can outright hurt you. That being said, I understand the need for it and how it is one of (if not the best) option for killing cancer. So an option like this makes sense to me (not a Doctor, obviously) and I wanted to learn more.
Thanks in advance and I appreciate your help pushing me in the right direction.
Best,
-JO
