Alternative Cancer Treatment Reno, Nevada You've just been diagnosed with cancer and you're overwhelmed. The treatments, which may include chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery, can leave you feeling tired and weak. For patients considering their options, the Nevada Center for Alternative and Anti-Aging Medicine near Reno, Nevada offers cancer alternatives. Click here to learn more about what gives this center of healing a distinct advantage over traditional medicine. Current cancer therapies may be very effective at combating this often devastating disease. Chemotherapy, which is aimed at killing cancer cells, often kills normal, healthy cells as well. In cancer treatment, doctors try to balance the cancer killing effects with damage to healthy tissue by carefully adjusting medication doses. In theory, Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) enables doctors to use very small doses of chemotherapy, while maintaining the desired cancer killing effects. Some of the main energy sources for the cells in your body are sugar, or carbohydrates, and fat. While cancer cells can use sugar and carbohydrates for energy, healthy cells can use fat as well. Sugar and carbohydrates are thus necessary for the survival of cancer cells. When blood sugar is low, the body relies more on fat stores for energy. This is bad for cancer cells because they cannot use this energy source. Insulin is a substance that lowers blood sugar. Thus, IPT works by lowering blood sugar, weakening cancer cells. This makes the cancer cells more susceptible to chemotherapy, and the dose may be lowered. Dr. Shallenberger is trained in both traditional and alternative medicine, enabling him to combine the most efficacious aspects of each. Only 16 physicians in the country are licensed to practice homeopathic and traditional medicine.
