Dear Hebla and R.B,

As you seem quite knowledgeable I was wondering if you could comment on the follwing statements:

"For two decades Dr. Perez Garcia has been using a treatment he calls Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT). It consists of giving a patient a dose of insulin followed by a tiny dose of chemotherapy.
Cancer cells have 15 times more insulin receptors than normal cells. The insulin dose helps to target chemotherapy into cancer cells because they have so many more insulin receptors. "

This could explain why keeping a low GI diet could be v.good in our case,

Still searching..

Best wishes
