Hyperthermic Technology

Finally, the idea of hyperthermia as a treatment has been taken into the
technological domain. A number of cancer centres now are offering treatment
based on perfusing the tumour itself with high temperature solutions. With some
tumours, such as a breast cancer, it may be possible to isolate the blood supply
of the growth and connect it to micro-tubing which supplies heated liquid direct
to the cancer cells. This avoids the need to heat up the whole body, with its
consequent dangers.

Failing that, a limb can be perfused. Some centres carry out whole-body
hyperthermia. Statistics seem to suggest that the best results can be obtained by
combining hyperthermic technology with conventional radiation at far lower (and
therefore safer) doses.

Alternatively, hyperthermia may be induced by focussed microwave appliances,
this heated wires or implanted radio electrodes.

There are few side effects, the obvious one being burns and blisters

Which tumour patients can be treated? Dr. Fritz Schellander MD, a UK holistic
specialist, makes the following recommendations:

Patients with inoperable tumours

After a successful operation to reduce the risk of a relapse

Patients in an advanced state with multiple metastases

Patients with a high risk of relapse

Patients with a minimal tumour burden who refuse an operation

As a support measure for chemotherapy and or radiation

What other conditions can be treated with hyperthermia?

Chronic inflammatory conditions such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease

Rheumatic conditions

Bronchial asthma

Chronic and recurrent viral infections

Conditions requiring detoxification
