Dr. Weeks’ Comment: Here (finally!) is some research accomplished in 2009 which supports the clinical practice of IPT which was called quackery in 1940. It demonstrates that the IGF-1 receptor is the back door, unguarded, which we can use to bring chemo drugs preferentially into the cancer cell. Elegant research in 2009; stupendous clinical work [...]

Dr. Weeks’ Comment: Back in the summer of 2002, a very skeptical Dr. Brad Weeks traveled to Chicago to the office of Dr. Steven Ayre and had his world rocked! Dr. Ayre taught him the procedure of IPT -insulin potentiated therapy which seemed too good (too simple, really!) to be true.
I want to share [...]

Dr. Weeks’ Comment: Old news. Had the ’scientific” journals reported the real and total science in the firest place, had the marketers not gagged the investigators (see the fiasco of how the unpublished data on Paxil bordered on the criminal) the fad of SSRI medications would never have been tolerated.
Where were the “experts” on [...]

Dr. Weeks Clinic: Some straight thinking about the relative worthlessness (compared to placebo or exercise or vitamin B shots or even tryptophan) of SSRI antidepressants. And yet more difficulty getting straight answers about … side-effects.

Dr. Weeks Comment: No news here. My friend and mentor, the late and great Abram Hoffer demonstrated this important attribute of niacin (vitamin B3) in the early 1960’s. His work was ignored because, well, because no money can be made from the selling of a naturally occurring supplement, whereas billions can be “earned” [...]

Dr. Weeks’ Comment: Pharmaceutical, patented drugs are designed to be effective at reducing symptoms. They do so, universally, by poisoning an enzyme process or disrupting normal metabolism.

Dr. Weeks’ Comment: Let’s review – A medical doctor is a doctor of “medicine” (just as a juris doctor is a doctor or teacher or law, and a doctor of philosophy teaches philosophy). Medical doctors are not trained in aspects of health, nutrition, lifestyle modification or elegant management of mental or spiritual aspects of life. [...]

Dr. Weeks Comment: In 1989 the patent (see below) was filed which demonstrated the importance of never prescribing a statin drug without also prescribing Co Q 10. So, tell me, why didn’t your your doctor tell you to take Co Q 10 when he or she was handing out statin drugs like candy?

Dr. Weeks’ Comment: Watch out America. The FDA is about to take away your niacin. This vitamin B3, famous for its “flush” was championed by Dr. Abram Hoffer, M.D. Ph.D. 1917-2009 in the treatment of people suffering with hallucinations and delusions (adrenochrome toxicity treated with niacin) and also in the treatment of vascular diseases (heart [...]
