About Richard Linchitz
RICHARD LINCHITZ, M.D. graduated with honors with his Medical Degree from Cornell University Medical College, New York in 1973. He completed his residency at the famed University of California, San Francisco, Moffit Hospital. Moved by the personal stories of those living with chronic pain, Dr. Linchitz founded the first and only outpatient nationally accredited multi-specialty pain program in New York. Over the 22 years he managed the Pain Alleviation Center, he developed an integrated program of pain intervention based on lifestyle changes, rather than pharmaceutical-based solutions.
Dr. Linchitz has always lived by his own advice. An accomplished athlete, he lived what he thought was a healthy lifestyle until a diagnosis of lung cancer in 1998 (despite never having smoked) forever changed his life, career and overall perspective on medicine. After receiving a bleak prognosis for survival, he sought to understand his disease from the inside out and to design his own path towards Balanced Wellness. Determined to share the lessons learned from his own recovery, Dr. Linchitz became an expert in integrating Conventional and Alternative Approaches to treat disease. Consequently, he has created a unique program of health based on prevention and natural remedies.
Dr. Linchitz is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, the American Board of Pain Medicine and the American Board of Anti-aging Medicine. He has successfully passed board exams from the American Board of Clinical Metal Toxicology and the International Board of Oxidative Medicine. He is also trained and certified in Medical Acupuncture and Insulin Potentiation Therapy.

Thank you very much. Before I begin, I just want to acknowledge a fellow practitioner and fellow board member of the International SOS Organization of IPD Physicians, Dr. Less Breitman.
Dr. Breitman has.
Dr. Breitman has his office in San Diego. I'm all the way on the on the other coast to the East Coast. So but I would always recommend, Dr. Breitman highly for patients who have cancer and are interested in the IPT techniques for for cancer. Also, before I begin, I just would like to apologize. My flash drive didn't make it from New York. Somehow between New York and here, it got lost. I have no slides. And as a consequence, I'll try to speak to you directly as if you're a patient in my office who's coming in, interested in finding out a little bit more about cancer treatment in general, IPT in particular. Just to be a little bit more clear, although I'm going to be speaking primarily about IPT today, our office utilizes IPT, but not it's not the only treatment that we do.
I firmly believe, as Dr. Dallas' said just recently in his lecture, that it's very important to look at the whole patient and integrate as many things as possible into the treatment process to be as effective as possible. We've all heard about miracle treatments, individual miracle treatments, and those treatments are sometimes are miraculous for various given individuals. But I've yet to see in all the years I've been treating cancer patients, any one type of treatment worked for everybody. If it did, this didn't be no conference here. We'd all go home and everybody would be happy. So let me talk about IPT, because it wouldn't when we when we when I first see a patient, you know, they asked me about IPT. Why isn't it more commonly known? Why isn't it utilized more often? Why don't conventional oncologists use IPTV? First of all, what is IPTV? IPTV stands for insulin potentiation therapy. And by way of introduction, I'm going to backtrack a little bit and say that conventional oncologists have looked for a targeted way to treat cancer patients since oncology first started. In fact, chemotherapy was an attempt, albeit a poor attempt to target treatments to cancer specific cancer cells without harming normal cells.
In fact, it's a miserable failure in that regard, as we'll talk about in a second. But what it really does chemotherapy is it attempts to get rapidly growing cells and not attack normal cells. Now, those rapidly growing cells are, in fact, more susceptible to chemotherapy. But unfortunately, the body has many rapidly growing normal cells, gastrointestinal intestinal tissue, hematopoietic
