Supportive Research
In-vitro studies have shown how IPT works supporting the informal clinical work that has been conducted on hundreds of patients worldwide.
A clinical trial of IPT for treating breast cancer was done in Uruguay and concluded that "The group treated with insulin + methotrexate responded most frequently with stable disease" compared to being treated with methotrexate alone or insulin alone.
In 2000, the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Advisory Panel on Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAPCAM) invited Drs. Perez Garcia and Ayre to present IPT to them as part of the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Best Case Series program. However CAPCAM have not in the time since undertaken any further research into IPT.

Famous quotes containing the words supportive and/or research:
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
