Claimed Explanatory Molecular Biology
The proponents of IPT give the following explanation of the biology of cancer and its cells in order to understand the mechanisms of IPT, which relies upon insulin, the most integral component of IPT, having three significant actions upon cancer cells described below, as well as also dropping blood sugar levels and thus the energy source for cancer. Low blood glucose (below 60 mg/dl) also stimulates secretion of growth hormone, and growth hormone, it is presumed, helps to strengthen the immune system.
