CANCER THERAPIES

Modified Insulin Primed Potentiation Therapy (IPT)

A new effective method in treating Cancers and other acute and chronic diseases by integrating alternative and traditional methods.

Chemotherapy drugs are powerful cell-killers (both cancer and normal cells). In current medical practice, getting these drugs inside the cells where they do their work requires that they be administered in large doses to enter cancer and disease afflicted cells. A major drawback to this high dosing is a serious dose-related side effect seen with these anticancer drugs. This happens because chemotherapy agents do not discriminate between cancer cells and other normal cells of in the body. They kill both kinds of cells, therefore there are side effects, and not with Insulin Primed Potentiation Therapy (IPT) - such effects are eliminated by using IPT. The key to this is an innovative strategy for anticancer other drug delivery inside the cancer and disease afflicted cells facilitated by Insulin called Insulin Primed Potentiation therapy (IPT). We have developed the most advanced IPT method, which is registered in US patent office and preparing the final patent application for submission. This method we have developed is very effective in curing and/or curtailing cancers and many incurable chronic diseases. This method also has been used with a rescue therapy in advanced cancers, Glioma and other brain tumors without any toxic effects of chemotherapy with good success.

The cancer cells have more than six to ten times more insulin receptors per cell than normal cells in the body. This fact differentiates normal cells from the cancer cells - a fact we use to get more drugs get into disease afflicted cells than normal cells. Having six to ten times more insulin receptors than a normal cell means that the effect of administered insulin will be six to ten times greater on cancer cells than on normal cells. With this difference, combined with actions of insulin in Insulin primed Potentiation therapy, we are able to deliver an effective dose of immune chemotherapy compounds and drugs inside cancer cells selectively, sparing normal cells and organs they make. This can be accomplished using greatly reduced doses of the chemotherapy and other drugs along with immune system modulators and effectively eliminating all their high dose-related side effects and complications. The mechanisms these cancer cells adopt and use to kill people are the same basis for using IPT. This IPT method selectively facilitates the entry of large doses chemo-immune therapeutic agents and drugs into cancer and other disease-afflicted cells, thus potentiating their effects. Thus IPT safely and effectively kill the cancer and other disease afflicted cells. A published article (Dr. Oliver Alabaster) about cancer cells in tissue culture showed that the addition of insulin to the culture medium enhanced the cancer cell-killing effect of commonly used chemotherapy drugs by a factor of up to ten thousand times. This result was attributed to an effect of insulin to increase the trans-membrane transport of the anticancer agents into the cell. This can also be due to possible metabolic and genetic (protein synthesis) modification by insulin and chemotherapy combination within the cancer and other afflicted cells.

Dr.Shantha has modified the original IPT method and made it more effective in the treatment of acute and chronic incurable debilitating diseases such as Cancers, Autoimmune diseases, degenerative diseases, CNS diseases, viral and other infectious diseases including AIDS, and Hepatitis; and Arthritis of all kinds, Pain, and the list is endless. We are preparing to patent my modification and will be available to all physicians. We are planning to add hyperthermia and alternative integrated medical modalities to this simple wonderful therapy to make it more effective and acceptable by many physicians and the afflicted.


Metabolic Oncolysis

Metabolic Oncolysis (Hyperthermia) Therapy (MHT) for Treatment of Cancers and Cancer Prophylaxis

Metabolic Hyperthermia Therapy (MHT), utilizes various natural, semisynthetic, and synthetic therapeutic agents (synthetic and semi synthetics therapeutic agents, capsicum, xylitol, mucopolysaccharide complexes, echinacea, etc.) and alternative herbal and non herbal medications to treat cancers and as cancer prophylaxis. It has also been called metabolic oncolysis therapy or regimen.

More than 54 advanced cancers have been treated using this therapy. Many of these cases were advised that there is no more treatment available, and told them to go home. With this treatment alone their cancers were shrunk and many of them led a good long life.

It works by two mechanisms:

  1. Induces Hyperthermia in cancer cells thus destroying them
  2. Stops the production of ATP in cancer cells needed for their survival.

MHT boost astounding 50% increase in metabolic rate of cancer cells by "uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation", stops their multiplication, wrecks their energy production (ATP) and bringing cancer cell. bining MHT with Insulin potentiation therapy (IPT), hyperthermia, endorphin receptor therapy, high dose vitamin C, HDMTX therapy, vaccines, tumor antigens, Dendritic cell therapy, aloe, cellbal, Mistletoe etc. which are offered at our center can surely heal the Cancers and other disease.

All these treatments modalities and many more are offered at the Progressive Medical Centers of America. It can be used to prevent the cancer occurrence or recurrence in your body. Along with phenylbutyrate, it is one of the most effective cancer prophylaxis therapies available.


Endorphine Receptors Therapy

Endorphine Receptors Therapy (ERT)
(Naltrexone's in Cancer Treatment)

Cancer remains a leading cause of death in the world today. In the U.S. alone, more than one million new cases are diagnosed each year, and nearly 500,000 individuals lose their lives to the disease annually. Many therapies provided in our clinic, ERT is one of them. Naltrexone, a drug used to treat narcotic addiction and reverse effects of morphine, works by increasing endorphins, one of the body's major mechanisms for regulating the immune system, which provides the primary means of preventing and controlling cancers. With the failure of chemotherapy to improve cancer survival, the medical community desperately needs nontoxic, effective new approaches to the treatment of cancer and other incurable diseases.

THE SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND: Dr. Bihari and Dr. Margaret Lewin, oncologist at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center have shown that low dose Naltrexone holds promise in the treatment of certain kinds of cancer. The cancer cells have opiate receptors. ERT releases endorphins from normal cells in the body which bind to cancer cell opiod receptors and prevent their gorth. The malignancies benefited from the treatment include lymphoma, brain tumors, Hodgkin's disease, lymphocyte leukemia, carcinoids tumors, colorectal cancers, prostate cancer, multiple Myeloma, Cancer of the Small Intestine, Cancer of the Pancreas, Cancer of some Endocrine glands, Lymphoma (Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's), Malignant Melanoma ,Prostrate Cancer, Glioma (Primary brain cancers) etc. Naltrexone works in infection including HIV, by increasing the body's endorphin release and production which in turn enhances the immune system function.

The rise in blood endorphins increases the activity of the immune system's natural killer cells which provide the surveillance system that protects the body against newly forming or metastasizing cancer cells of all types. Low dose Naltrexone might exert its effects on tumor growth:

  • By inducing an increase in endogenous metenkephalin (an endorphin produced in large amounts in the adrenal medulla) and beta endorphin;
  • By inducing an increase in the number and density of opiate receptors on the tumor cell membranes, thereby making them more responsive to the growth inhibiting effects of the already present levels of endorphins; and
  • By increasing the natural killer (NK) cell numbers and NK activity which is quite responsive to increased levels of endorphins.

Our clinic will be able to provide phone consultation and ship medication. It can be taken as liquid or capsule at bedtime. We recommend 4.5 mg at bedtime. The liquid should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than one month. Several types of cancer are observed to respond to low dose Naltrexone.


Hydrazine Sulfate

When Hydrazine Sulfate was introduced in the early 1970s, it was hailed as a dramatic breakthrough in chemotherapy as a fighter of cancer and cancer related cachexia. Cachexia means severe weight loss and general wasting usually seen in cancer patients. It is a condition that reduces a dying patient to skin and bones while tumors continue to nourish and grow.

In 1960s Dr. Joseph Gold, director of The Syracuse Cancer Research Institute in Syracuse, New York, states that cachectic wasting is a prime cause of death in cancer. If we stop cachexia, the patient be stronger and survive longer. The cachexia is the result of the way cancer cells produce energy through metabolism and the Nobel Prize-winning research of Otto Warburg almost six decades ago has shown that the cancer cells have a different type of cellular metabolism and use glucose, but only partially. Normal cells use it completely. This results in production of large amounts of lactic acid as a byproduct in cancer patients. Lactic acid is a toxin, and the liver the rest of the body expends a significant amount of energy in converting lactic acid back to glucose. As the cancer grows, more lactic acid is produced, creating an even greater energy drain, and the body simply wastes away slowly taking its toll of the body's reserves until a "point of no return" is reached. He found that an inexpensive chemical hydrazine sulfate is able to block an important enzyme in the liver that catalyzes the conversion of lactic acid into glucose.

In 1973 Gold reported that hydrazine effectively inhibited the growth of several different types of tumors in laboratory animals and enhance effectiveness of chemotherapy. In August 1973 about twenty cancer patients were taking it, by September hundreds of patients were taking, and by October the number had grown to over one thousand. Dr. Dean Burk, scientists at NCI, called hydrazine sulfate "the most remarkable anticancer agent I have come across in my forty-five years of experience in cancer". Terminal cancer patients have been treated with gelatin capsules containing 60 mg of hydrazine sulfate three to four times a day (at intervals of about 6 hours). Usually within 24-48 hours there is a marked return of appetite followed by continued increase in weight, remarkably restored physical activity, and eventually decrease in tumor size, decrease in pain, and cancer related decrease in symptomatology. This study showed that treatment with hydrazine sulfate alone is capable of producing a high degree of anticancer activity and improvement in patients who are in the terminal and pre-terminal stages.

In 1979 Dr. Michael Gershanovich, director of medical oncology at the Petrov Research Institute of Oncology in Leningrad, studies indicate hydrazine sulfate to be clinically effective in reversing cachexia and producing disease stabilization in late-stage cancer patients. More recent Soviet study investigated hydrazine sulfate's effectiveness in 740 cancer patients from age sixteen to seventy-two with good results. He treated lung, stomach, breast cancers, Hodgkin's, melanoma. Hydrazine sulfate is nontoxic. It has a positive side effect, frequently producing a mild euphoria. The other side effects of hydrazine are mild numbness (particularly of the fingers and toes), nausea, vomiting, and slight drowsiness, Polyneuritis. The latter condition can be eliminated by dosage reduction and/or addition of vitamin B6.

Dosage: The normal dosage for hydrazine sulfate is one 60-mg tablet, taken three times daily. One hundred 60-mg tablets, approximately a monthly supply, cost about $40.00.Currently hydrazine sulfate is not approved by the FDA for cancer therapy. However, many of the foreign clinics offering alternative cancer therapies do make it a regular part of protocol. It can also be ordered from some of the overseas companies offering alternative cancer medications by mail order.
