10/24/2006: "A Heat Wave"
Hippocrates said: “Give me a fever and I’ll heal every illness.” My first experience with hyperthermia was when I went to Mexico for treatment. Their version is a pretty radical procedure where they heat up your own blood for hours, circulating it through a special machine.
Dr. Gorter, the doctor I will be seeing in Germany, uses hyperthermia as a supplemental treatment. Gorter states. “When you combine chemotherapy with fever therapy you’ll have fewer side effects from the chemo.” When, at the age of 26, he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer that had spread to his stomach and lungs, he decided to heal himself by taking very hot baths.
Yesterday, I installed a personal infrared sauna. I chose a product from SaunaGen and it was pretty reasonably priced. The workmanship was impressive and I was able to set it up in about an hour. Infrared is a safe and natural heat, which penetrates a couple inches into the body. And sweating is a great way help our cells eliminate toxins. So I have begun a regimen of at least two 30+ minute saunas a day.
Just another weapon in the battle…
