Hello Larry,
My name is Rachel Best. I am the Executive Director of The Elka Best
Foundation, whose sole purpose is to fund research and education in the
use of kinder, gentler chemotherapy. "IPT Low Dose Chemotherapy" is an
approach that uses FDA approved chemotherapy drugs that we know works
for many people.
I am an ovarian cancer survivor. I credit "IPT Low Dose Chemotherapy"
with the miracle that I am still here and thriving.
In 2001 my oncologist's prognosis for my survival was bleak, at best.
Nevertheless, he laid out a program of surgery and chemotherapy for me
to follow.
You have probably read about how with standard treatment they give you
as much drug as your body can tolerate. What that means is that they
are giving you enough poison in the hope that it will kill the cancer
but that means it is also killing your normal cells. Conventional
chemotherapy kills your immune system almost every time. You are then
exposed to the dangers of collateral infections... one of the biggest
killers in cancer patients.
Your oncologist knows all of this.
I underwent surgery and conventional chemotherapy when I was originally
diagnosed. It was horrible. While recovering from the surgery I almost
died from a staph infection. Then came the chemotherapy. I lost my
hair, was constantly nauseous and vomiting. My immune system
diminished to the point of non existence. Once the chemotherapy was
done, I was bedridden for most of the day for 6 months. It took me
another 12 months to get the toxicity out of my body and recover some
semblance of energy for life and work.
By that time I was in recurrence and being recommended to have another
surgery followed by chemotherapy. I had faced death twice and now they
were asking me to do it again. I was terrified and would rather have
faced the disease than their "cure". My story is like so many others.
Fortunately, I was told about "IPT Low Dose Chemotherapy" by a friend
and researched it, talking to several of the practitioners. I decided
IPT made sense and I would try 6 treatments. If I did not see things
going in the right direction, I could always rethink my strategy.
IPT uses low dose chemotherapy... as little as 10% of the same FDA
approved drugs used in conventional treatment. This means the patient
is left with little or no side effects. With IPT my life has been full.
I have worked and played to capacity while managing the cancer.
IPT is not for everyone. Maybe it will work for you. It worked for me
and many others.
If you have questions you can call me at (858) 837-0086.
Rachel Best
Executive Director
The Elka Best Foundation
P.S. As a result of my great experience and the positive reports from
many others have I met who have had similar success, I created the Elka
Best Foundation in honor of my mother who died from the complications
of chemotherapy. Those patients and I believe that there is very
little risk in doing IPT compared to its rewards while prevailing over
this horror called cancer. For more information please visit
