  • Publication number: 20190343926
    Abstract: A method for delivering glucose and insulin to a subject to improve carbohydrate metabolism. It is desirable to improve liver storage of glycogen, and in general to reduce excess fatty tissue in the liver. The method delivers a large amount of glucose accompanied by a series of bursts of insulin to the subject over a period of time. The amount of insulin in each burst, the interval between bursts and the amount of time to deliver each burst to the subject are selected so that the cellular processing of glucose is improved in the subject. The glucose is delivered in dose portions over an extended period of hours, typically providing a roughly even rate of glucose input during the insulin administration. Treatments are repeated over multiple days. For most subjects, an improvement in resting amount of carbohydrate metabolism is seen.

  • Publication number: 20140243261
    Abstract: The present invention is a method of treating various diseases and conditions through administering a substantial caloric load coupled with administration of hormone to stimulate the body to convert that caloric load and increase metabolism in at least some cells. Body functioning converts intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a part of normal cell function. Complex control systems balance caloric inputs by managing internal hormone levels to consume, store, or eliminate various types of caloric inputs. This invention stimulates these systems to increase metabolism of cells within the body and thereby treat various diseases and conditions. Many patients find their metabolism after treatment to be in better balance, and the patient's health improved.

  • Publication number: 20130172808
    Abstract: A medical infusion system which increases adenosine triphosphate from carbohydrates by a pump delivering precisely timed and calculated boluses of hormones such as insulin resulting in oscillations of hormones in whole blood sufficient to cover a carbohydrate load equal to no less than forty percent (40%) of the minimum daily allowance for carbohydrates where the blood glucose is from 60 mg/dl to 300 mg/dl. The system comprises a pump and optimally a cassette or cartridge where the plunger rotates as it advances in reference to the cartridge to provide additional accuracy and overcome the forces of inertia and slip-stick as well as eliminate backlash. The system can also use an encoded area and an opening for connection to an infusion tube with an in-line sensor area where sampling probes can be located to optimized adenosine triphosphate production from the mitochondria in the cells.
