The Cancer Center for Healing in Irving CA offers Insulin Potentiation Therapy. They accept no insurance, so out of pocket expenses. Their web site is quite informative.

You mean by adding insulin they can reduce the amount of chemo?

There is very little published research on this. Have you had any success?

from Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Insulin potentiation therapy (IPT) is an experimental treatment for chemotherapy symptoms. There's no scientific proof that IPT is an effective treatment for cancer. People who receive IPT do so at their own risk. Chemotherapy is a proven treatment for cancer, but causes many side effects.

The sales blather on the website mixes reasonable sounding but unscientific mumbo jumbo with the notion that alternate therapies are somehow better because “the pharmaceutical industry just wants to make money off you”. In this case the PseudoScience Institute very much wants your money and you should stick with actually scientifically proven therapies.

If you are suspicious of profit motives get a second opinion from your nearest university cancer center.

I would never say anything bad or good about that until I was well informed

I just think we all need to understand what is necessary for our own healing

From what I have researched, I might want to try it

If it were me, I would run fast to a treatment center that does accepts insurance.
