IPT FAQ

Our health care practitioners hear lots of questions about the use of our popular approaches, such as IPT (Insulin Potentiation Therapy), as a cancer treatment adjunct. After speaking to many clients and listening to their questions, our practitioners have compiled answers to some of the most common questions and concerns of cancer patients, as well as their friends and family, who may be researching integrative and complimentary care.

Hashimoto's is diagnosed by combining findings, not one test: thyroid antibodies (TPO, sometimes thyroglobulin), thyroid function (TSH and free T4), symptoms, and often an ultrasound. A normal TSH does not rule it out, and a low-positive antibody is not always disease. Found early, before the gland is damaged, there is the best chance to protect it and feel better.
