It’s not the most pleasant treatment if you compare it with a gentle oil massage or a bath in rose paddles, but it’s by far the best treatment under the sun when you have cancer.
If I can do it, YOU can do it with ease, because when it comes to heat I am a sissy! I hate excessive heat and I am not good laying still. I dread having this treatment every time, but can only tell you …. when you’ve made it, you feel like heaven for a long time.
Hyperthermia
Our immune system, like any army, has certain limits. It can only fight off a certain number of pathogens before there is a high chance it will loose. Luckily the body has a built in safety mechanism to aid the immune system at this time. Surprisingly, this safety mechanism is an increase in systemic temperature called pyrexia, hyperthermia or more commonly known as fever.
Homeostasis is the constant balancing act that ensures our body stays in equilibrium. Everything from temperature, to pH, to blood sugar levels, need to remain in a state of balance for all the body’s components to perform optimally. A fever is the body’s highly evolved attempt to destroy invading organisms and to sweat impurities out through the skin. Fever is an effective natural process of curing disease and restoring health. Hypocrites, the founder of Western medicine, said more than two thousand years ago, ‘Give me the power to create a fever, and I shall cure any disease.’
During a fever, the functionality of the immune system is stimulated, while the growth of bacteria and viruses are forced to slow down. The production of white blood cells, the primary agents of the immune system, is increased; as is the rate of their release into the blood stream. The generation of antibodies speeds up, as does the production of interferon, an anti viral protein that also has powerful cancer-fighting properties.
The fever activates the immune system dramatically and also creates heat shock proteins on the surface of cancer cells. This effect makes the cancer visible and vulnerable to the increased amount of immune cells. The increased blood flow and oxygenation during the process helps to detoxify the body at the same time.
It’s like giving steroids to all the soldiers in your army.
Especially for kids fever is an important part of their healing reaction. Dr. Gunes says, ‘Parents should not medicate immediately as fever trains the immune system to fight any illnesses.’
As a treatment, the act of increasing a patient’s core body temperature is called hyperthermia. There are several different ways this could be achieved. The most common is by way of water-filtered infrared-A-irradiation, however, viral therapy is another option sometimes used.
Whole body hyperthermia (WBH)
Whole body hyperthermia is a holistic cancer treatment that applies heat throughout the whole body with limited side effects. It enhances the immune system, enabling it to find the tumour cells and attack them. A chemical reaction is created on the wall of the cell by the heat and the immune system can then find the cell more specifically and easily.
New studies show that when the application is extended from 2 to 3 hours to 6 to 8 hours, the treatment will also directly kill the tumour. In the case of metastasis the blood flow is increased throughout the body, therefore; a targeted response is not as effective and this whole body process is needed. Whole body hypothermia also helps to bring the chemotherapy inside the cell. Because the blood vessels are weakened, the heat helps the process and simultaneously flushes any chemotherapy waste product from the body, which lowers the side effects of the chemotherapy.
Moderate whole body hyperthermia stimulates the immune system.
Moderate whole body hyperthermia is used to prevent recurrences.
