When Chemotherapy Really Can Help
Using chemotherapy in low doses can be useful. Insulin Potentiation Targeted Low-DoseTM Chemotherapy, or IPTLDTM (as opposed to "full-dose" chemotherapy) is a way to selectively target cancer cells to hasten their demise and help clean them out from the body. Full-dose chemotherapy always has severe side-effects while patients taking low-dose chemotherapy experience no or very mild side-effects.
There are two major benefits of using IPTLDTM chemotherapy. The first is that the drugs are targeted specifically to the cancer cells. This allows for very deep and more complete penetration of the medications. This is in contrast to "bathing" the whole body with chemotherapy drugs in hopes of killing more of the tumor cells.
The second major benefit is that the patient's quality of life is protected while having chemotherapy. IPTLDTM does not have the side-effects associated with standard chemotherapy such as: hair loss, nausea and vomiting, weakness with fatigue and a loss of the immune system's ability to protect against other infections.
