slippingaway 89 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) I wish I had found this thread earlier. Glad to hear that TJ is making a solid recovery. Here's why I wish I would have known sooner: Along the topic, I have been doing some research in micro-dose chemotherapy. They have been saying since the '20s that cancer cells are sugar-starved. A few years back scientists at John Hopkins University started "baiting the trap" by introducing glucose to the chemo poison and the damn cells suck it up, poison with the sugar! Plenty of articles can be found about it here. My big hope is that this knowledge helps someone else fighting, and that it gives them the secret weapon that can turn the tides of war. This is probably one of the easier to understand write-ups. There is very little argument that the concept of chemotherapy has merit. The biggest problem has been that the normal cells are destroyed at the same or greater rate as the cancer cells. In addition, the cancer seems to build a resistance to the chemo over a period of time, resulting in the need for more intensive and destructive forms of chemotherapy. Microdose chemotherapy, as used at Hospital Santa Monica, is based on the fact that a cancer cell has a voracious appetite for glucose - more than 30 times that of a normal cell - and that it cannot use an alternative fuel, as a normal cell can. During induced hypoglycemia (lowering the glucose level of the cells), the cancer cells are stressed for glucose. If glucose is then administered, mixed with microdose chemotherapy, the cancer cells will preferentially take up the mixture - over the normal cells, which have switched to alternative fuels. Thus, the cancer cell, with 20 times the number of glucose receptors as the normal cell, takes in most of the chemo in its desperate attempt to get the glucose it needs to survive and the normal cell is barely affected. This process is also known as Insulin Potentiation Therapy. Edited December 29, 2012 by slippingaway 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
