Parasite Infections and IPT

Treatment of Parasite infections with IPT

There is a case of trichomoniasis (protozoan infection) of the vagina, treated successfully with IPT, described in the book by Drs. Perez Garcia 1 and 2, Cellular Cancer Therapy (case 23).

Possibilities:

As it is for viral and bacterial infections, IPT may be a superior method for rapid and effective treatment of parasite infections. Perhaps it will help us fight drug resistance in these organisms.

Probably the most widespread parasite infection in the world today is malaria. This potential application of IPT is so important that it has its own page.

Toxoplasma, another protozoan infection, is common in people with compromised immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS. Perhaps IPT will be found to be a better treatment for this opportunistic infection.

There are probably insulin-like receptors on the cells of parasitic worms, but probably not on single-celled protozoan parasites. Whether or not insulin will bind to these sites could be determined in the lab. If so, it could be a mechanism for introducing larger amounts of toxic drugs into the parasitic worms.
