Traditional cancer treatments can be risky, yet I often encounter patients who are not aware of the potential in a holistic cancer treatment. Knowledge is a key to overcoming cancer, and understanding all available treatments is critical to determine the right solution for you.
Here are 3 holistic cancer treatments all cancer patients should be aware of:
- Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) is an innovative cancer treatment that targets cancer cells due to their dependence on sugar. Physicians first administer insulin to drop a patient’s blood sugar level. Next, a small dose of chemotherapy (approximately one-tenth the normal dose) is administered, followed immediately by glucose. This method provides a gentler alternative to traditional chemotherapy, and results in fewer side effects.
- Homeopathic Immune Modulator uses small doses of natural treatments to preserve and support the immune system. The modulator is specific to each patient’s type of cancer and altered based on the patient’s treatment plan.
- Hyperthermia uses heat to create more blood supply to an area possessing cancer. Due to their high rates of metabolism, cancer cells over-metabolize and die. I often recommend that patients combine it with IPT.
Although choosing the right cancer treatment can be a difficult decision, there are a number of gentle treatments available. Holistic options often provide a safe and effective alternative to traditional chemotherapy.
