Insulin Potentiation Therapy
By Steven Ayre, MD
Summary: An exciting overview of an innovative new cancer therapy based on the fact that cancer cells feed exclusively on glucose. To capture as much glucose as possible, cancer cells have many insulin receptors—ten times more than any normal cell in the human body. In standard chemotherapy, the chemotherapeutic drugs cannot tell the difference between cancerous cells and normal cells, so they kill them both indiscriminately. But when such drugs are delivered along with insulin, the insulin shuttles them preferentially into the cancer cells. The result of such targeting is the sparing of normal cells and the necessity of a smaller dose of drug to get the job done. "Insulin Potentiation Therapy appears to be a wonderful new way of treating cancer," Dr. Ayre concludes. Circa 2005.

Low Blood Sugar and Hyperinsulinism
By Dr. George Goodheart
Summary: Dr. Goodheart, the founder of Applied Kinesiology, describes the biochemical, muscular-skeletal, and hormonal response of patients suffering from hyperinsulinism and offers a very simple but still-overlooked step to help remedy the problem: "What does not seem to be understood or practiced is that sugar and all carbohydrates cause this disfunction [sic] and that sugar and high carbohydrates must be restricted." This is one of the earliest chiropractic papers on what was soon to become a huge area of holistic healing. From The Digest of Chiropractic Economics, circa 1965.
