Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) for Cancer


Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) is a cutting-edge alternative cancer treatment that combines insulin with chemotherapy to target cancer cells more effectively.
The therapy takes advantage of the fact that cancer cells are “sugar-hungry” and have more insulin receptors than normal cells. By administering insulin first, the doors of the cancer cells open wider, allowing them to absorb chemotherapy drugs more efficiently than healthy cells.
This targeted approach enables us to use much lower doses of chemotherapy (usually 10% of the standard dose), which significantly reduces the unpleasant side effects often associated with conventional chemotherapy, such as bone marrow suppression, nausea, and hair loss. Simultaneously, we work to strengthen your immune system with supportive therapies, including IV and oral nutritional supplementation, detoxification protocols, and immune-boosting treatments.
How Does IPT Work?
During an IPT session, insulin is administered to the patient to open up the cancer cells’ receptors, making them more receptive to chemotherapy. Once the insulin has taken effect, a reduced dose of chemotherapy is introduced. Since cancer cells have a much higher number of insulin receptors, they absorb the chemotherapy drug at a significantly higher rate than healthy cells.
This approach allows us to deliver a potent blow to the cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues, reducing side effects, and preserving the immune system. In addition to the chemotherapy, we also introduce immune-boosting agents, detoxification treatments, and high-dose Vitamin C to further support the patient’s body in fighting cancer.
IPT: Hard on Cancer, Easy on Patients
At LifeWorks Wellness Center, we use a multi-pronged approach to cancer treatment designed to be hard on cancer but easy on patients. We believe treating the whole patient, not just the disease, leads to better outcomes.
Here’s how we do it:
1. Low-Dose Chemotherapy: IPT allows for using smaller amounts of chemotherapy drugs, which means patients experience far fewer side effects, making the treatment easier to tolerate.
2. Supporting the Immune System: In addition to chemotherapy, we use treatments like high-dose Vitamin C, ozone therapy, minerals, lipoic acid, and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, detoxification protocols, and IV therapies to support and enhance the immune system, giving the body the strength it needs to fight cancer.
3. Holistic Lifestyle Support: We guide patients to optimize their diet and lifestyle, creating the ideal conditions for the body to heal.
Why You Should Consider IPT
Cancer is a word that strikes fear into the hearts of many. The diagnosis can be overwhelming, not only because of the severity of the disease but also due to the grueling traditional treatment protocols involving surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. While necessary in some cases, these methods can take a significant toll on a patient’s overall well-being.
IPT provides a viable option for patients seeking a gentler, more holistic treatment approach that still effectively combats cancer. We have treated numerous patients with IPT and have witnessed its benefits first-hand.
At LifeWorks Wellness Center in Clearwater, we focus on treating patients, not just cancer.
Whether you are undergoing traditional chemotherapy or seeking more natural, integrative treatment options, our holistic cancer treatment approach maximizes recovery potential by supporting the body’s natural defenses and promoting overall health.

How Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) is Administered
Before Starting IPT Treatments
Before starting IPT therapy, it’s essential to know what to expect and how to prepare:
1. PICC Line or Port: Since patients often require multiple treatments, we recommend having a PICC line or port to make the infusion process easier. A PICC line is a long, thin catheter inserted into a large vein in the arm, while a port is surgically implanted under the skin in the chest or upper arm. Your doctor will help you choose the best option based on your treatment plan.
2. Dietary Preparation: To prepare for the IPT session, patients should fast for six hours before treatment, drinking only water. After the treatment, it’s vital to bring fruit, protein, and juice to help restore blood sugar levels.
3. Communication: Our team will meet with you before the first treatment to explain every step of the process and answer any questions. This will ensure that you fully understand the procedure and feel comfortable moving forward.
During IPT Treatment
During the IPT session, patients sit in a comfortable chair while insulin is being administered. The insulin lowers blood sugar levels, making cancer cells more receptive to chemotherapy. Once the blood sugar has dropped safely, the chemotherapy is administered through the PICC line or port.
Patients may experience mild symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as dizziness or lightheadedness, but these are temporary. After the chemotherapy, additional medications are given to stimulate immune function and detoxify the body, minimizing side effects.
After the Treatment
After the treatment, patients will be asked to consume the food they brought to help raise their blood sugar levels. The food’s natural sugars will help attract the cancer cells to the chemotherapy. Once a patient completes the prescribed IPT treatments, a PET scan is ordered to assess progress and determine whether further treatments are necessary.
