The course of treatment of the IPT

After a careful anamnesis and choice of medicine, the patient arrives at the practice with an empty stomach. It is important to eat little the evening before and to have empty intestines. Afterwards, a venous access is established and pre-medication is given, depending on the individual needs. Blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation and breathing rate are measured permanently with the help of a monitor. The blood sugar is measured and the proper amount of insulin is injected. This has changed drastically, due to the experience that has been gained globally in the past years. Meanwhile, there are completely new guidelines on how to make the treatment as gentle as possible for the patient. After some time, which can vary according to individual parameters, the blood sugar decreases to a certain value which is called therapeutic „peak“. At that point in time the patient receives an injection with the medicine together with a sugar solution. Due to the above-mentioned mechanisms, the medicine reaches the cells with the highest demand for sugar - so to say in the “osmotic suction” of the highly concentrated sugar solution. This explains the therapeutic effect. The whole course of treatment is checked thoroughly, particularly, after the measures. After the treatment, the patient is observed for at least two hours. Depending on the case, a hyperthermia treatment can follow or further injections to guarantee a long-lasting effect.

The session is over. The patient usually does not have any side effects, many patients feel better after the therapy than before. The patient is advised to have light meals, to relax and to avoid tiring activities on the day of treatment.

Approx. one week later the next session is scheduled. The number of sessions and the intervals of therapy are scheduled individually, depending on the symptoms and the general state of the patient.

The insulin potentiation therapy in connection with other forms of therapy

Due to its gentleness and the fact that it has no or hardly any side effects, the IPT can be combined with other methods like a local hyperthermia (fever therapy) or methods from biological medicine, e.g. orthomolecular and phytotherapeutic measures.
