Day 5 of Treatment

Today, I had Low Dose Chemotherapy. Another name for it is Insulin Potentiated Therapy (IPT). This therapy uses a combination of insulin( found in nature) and a chemotherapy drug. Cancer cells have highly active insulin receptors. The theory for IPT is that insulin works on the cell membranes and allows chemotherapy to target cancer cells. Thus, it is the chemotherapy that kills the cancer cells; however, because of the insulin, the amount of chemotherapy needed is greatly reduced. Thus, the chemotherapy is much more potent, much less chemotherapy is needed, and far less side effects are experienced. I won’t lose my hair! I am wearing a cold cap on my head for extra protection. The orange that you see coming out of my catheter line is the IPT. I also received my daily dose of IV Vitamin C and K and I received a bag of iron IV. My iron is low based on recent bloodwork. I received a B12 injection too. I received another round of IV Ozone which is ozone added to my blood and given intravenously. It protects cells against extra damage from chemotherapy. Today, I am feeling tired and I have a headache. I’m looking forward to resting over the weekend, spending time with my little guy and my family; and continuing on my special diet and supplements.

    1. Wow this is amazing. You wonder why they don’t treat cancer this way in our country. Perhaps it’s because cancer treatment here is quite a big money maker for everyone. Doctors, pharmaceutical companies, etc. I continue to pray daily for you & look forward to your daily reports. Have a wonderful weekend.

    Angela’s mom Karen and I are tending to Angela’s needs as best we can and I have to say that Angela is a pretty good patient! Hang in there baby, we love you SO MUCH!

    1. Thank you. ♥️ I felt my grandma’s spirit Thursday night when I was praying and then when I was falling asleep, I felt a warm breath on me. I know she is with me. And I’m seeing little signs here and there that remind me that she is here. Thank you for your prayers ♥️
