Re: Insulin potentiation thereapy: makes sense considering metformin benefits

I once bought a book about this therapy. it was in 2004. Certainly very interesting. They called it Donetian therapy probably after the man whose name is Donato. I imagine anyone who is interested could research the internet for this book. It is contraversial and who can tell if it is effective. What I remember about the Donetian therapy is that they drop the blod sugar to about 35-40. This is done in a clinical hospital setting so the dangers of severe hypoglycemia can be countered quickly. The hypoglycemia causes the cancer cells to "open up" their cell membranes for lack of a better word and as much more gets into the cancer cells. much lower doses of chemo can be used. The lower doses translate into less systemic side effects.
