Chemotherapy wrecks the immune system. Cancer cells become resistant to chemotherapy drugs. They cannot become resistant to the Inositol derivatives. IP 6 increases the activity of the tumor suppressor gene, P53 by seventeen fold. The P53 gene is reponsible for inhibiting the pathway that allows normal cells to become cancerous.
Chemotherapy is in itself, carcinogenic.
It has been used against a wide variety of cancers. Naturally, blood based cancers such as leukemia are the most sensitive, with solid tumors needing a larger dose. Most studies at this point have used either animals or human cancer cells in vitro , i.e. in a test tube. As an example, adding IP 6 to human liver cancer cells resulted in complete inhibition of tumors. Cells pretreated with IP 6 resulted in no tumors.
