	Medical Policy DRUG.00034 \| Insulin Potentiation Therapy
		Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) uses insulin as an adjunctive agent to potentiate the effect of chemotherapy and other medication. In the case of chemotherapy, it purports to use about one tenth of the usual dose of cancer treatment medication.
		The effect of the chemotherapy is claimed to be magnified (potentiated) by the use of insulin, which lowers the blood sugar.
		Insulin potentiation therapy (IPT) was developed in the 1930s in Mexico by Donato Perez Garcia, Sr, MD and has been explored by a few physician practices (Ayre, 2000).

	Insulin potentiation therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Insulin potentiation therapy (IPT) is an alternative medicine therapy that uses FDA approved cancer fighting drugs in lower doses.
		It is well know that the hormone insulin, which is created in the pancreas, modulates many of the body's functions at the cellular level.
		IPT proponents suggest that insulin modifies cancer cells receptivity to being penetrated by the chemotherapy.

	Insulin potentiation therapy: a new concept for management of
		This potentiation occurs because of the heretofore unrecognized applicability of this membrane permeabilizing effect of insulin to a much wider range of tissues than is classicly accepted, and further the observed effect of this permeabilizing phenomenon as it relates to drug molecules, most importantly the antineoplastic agents.
		Insulin potentiation therapy represents a potentially revolutionary concept in the medical management of diseases and is, in the authors' opinion, deserving of intensive scientific investigation through in vitro and in vivo experimentation and properly conducted human clinical trials in a university teaching hospital setting.
		The therapy is applied in the treatment of a diversity of diseases with the assumption that there are functional insulin receptors on the cell membranes of all the tissues involved in the pathological processes being treated.

	Insulin Potentiation Therapy
		Insulin potentiation therapy (IPT), a therapy developed in the 1930s in Mexico by Donato Perez Garcia, Sr, MD, uses insulin as an adjunctive agent to potentiate the effects of pharmacologic therapy in the treatment of cancer, infectious diseases, chronic degenerative disorders, and many other conditions.
		The physiologic effects of insulin in IPT are thought to increase the permeability of cell membranes and facilitate increased intracellular absorption of pharmacologic agents.
		IPT is primarily used in the treatment of cancer, for which increasing the intracellular concentration and cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy agents while decreasing the adverse affects is thought to increase antitumoral activity and patient tolerance to treatment.

	Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) Cancer Treatment
		Thus, it is the chemotherapy that kills the cancer cells, however, because of the insulin, the amount of chemotherapy needed is greatly reduced, meaning the side-effects of the chemotherapy are greatly reduced.
		Insulin is truly a "magic bullet" cancer treatment, meaning it allows chemotherapy to target cancer cells and results in far less side-effects.
		The word "potentiate" means that one substance (insulin) enhances the effectiveness of another agent (chemotherapy) and thus far less of the second agent (chemotherapy) is needed.

		Insulin potentiation therapy (IPT) is a therapeutic modality used by some physicians to treat cancer, in combination with other chemotherapy agents.
		The theory behind IPT includes the idea that at least some types of cancer cells have far more insulin receptors than normal cells, which in theory allows the use of insulin to trick the cancer cells into rapidly absorbing chemotherapy from the blood.
		The IPT also induces a temporary lowering of the patient's blood sugar, which is thought to also aid the chemotherapy uptake.

		Insulin potentiation therapy (IPT) refers to the use of insulin along with lower doses of chemotherapy to treat cancer.
		IPT is promoted as a "kinder, gentler" approach to chemotherapy, with "little to none of the negative side effects of chemotherapy." It purports to use about a tenth of the usual dose of cancer treatment medicines.
		Insulin was first isolated from pancreatic tissue and used as a treatment for diabetes in the early 1920s.

		The basic idea for this therapy is that insulin is an anabolic hormone that increases the metabolism of the cell, including cancer cells.
		By creating this "sugar craving" state in the cancer cells by the use of insulin, far less chemotherapy is required to obtain a cancer kill response.
		Insulin is used to potentiate the chemotherapy drugs so that less needs to be given.

		The role that insulin plays in the process is that it facilitates the movement of sugar from the blood, onto the receptor sites, and ultimately into the cells themselves.
		The net result is that when chemotherapy drugs are combined with Insulin Potentiation, the cancer cells are fooled into sucking up the chemotherapy drugs (along with the glycogen) at a greatly accelerated rate.
		And second, although IPT appears to be very effective at eliminating the immediate manifestation of the cancer, it does nothing to eliminate the underlying systemic factors that were involved in the cancer appearing in the first place.

		With this difference, combined with actions of insulin in Insulin primed Potentiation therapy, we are able to deliver an effective dose of immune chemotherapy compounds and drugs inside cancer cells selectively, sparing normal cells and organs they make.
		This IPT method selectively facilitates the entry of large doses chemo-immune therapeutic agents and drugs into cancer and other disease-afflicted cells, thus potentiating their effects.
		This result was attributed to an effect of insulin to increase the trans-membrane transport of the anticancer agents into the cell.

		IPT provides a way to inject concentrated chemo into the cancer cells ONLY; thus, toxicity to the cancer is increased, and toxicity to the patient is diminished.
		Insulin actually opens the cell membrane to the cell, thereby allowing sugar and other substances to be transported inside.
		When insulin is administered prior to chemotherapy, the cancer cells open their "doors" to receive what they believe to be sugar.

		We have said that insulin is a transporter; it is required to transport glucose across the cell membrane.
		An IPT specialist administers a measured amount of insulin, depending upon the patient’s body weight and body surface area, thereby dropping the patient’s blood glucose to a certain hypoglycemic level.
		Because IPT can direct all the chemotherapeutic agents to the cancer cells, there is no need to flood the bloodstream with the traditionally high amounts of these toxins simply to assure that enough goes to the cancer cells.

		Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) is a questionable cancer therapy that uses insulin as an adjunct agent to potentiate the effect of chemotherapy and other medications.
		In addition, the pharmacokinetic profiles on concurrent use of insulin and chemo drugs are lacking and it is unclear whether the insulin also potentiates the toxic effects of chemotherapy on healthy cells.
		Insulin is also believed to increase the permeability of cell membranes, leading to the increase in intracellular concentration and cytotoxic effect of anticancer drugs.
