Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / July 2006Heat Therapy For Cancer
Heat Therapy For Cancer So far, I've no opinion on the heat & fever treatments, but this article sounds interesting & it lists many of the different ones. http://www.alkalizeforhealth.net/therapeuticbaths.htm Keywords: Heat Therapy, Hyperthermia, Moxibustion, Fever Therapy, Thermal Therapy, Artificially-Induced Fever, Therapeutic Baths, Overheating Therapy, Schlenz-Bath, Sauna, Thermal Medicine, Hyperthermia Society, Hyperthermic Oncology, 108 F (42 C) Susan Wms, Su_Texas my opinions PS I had a Faslodex injection about two weeks ago, a half dose. And I seem to be having some very painful adverse reactions to it, which is discouraging, frustrating. So today, I was at the cancer center in Longview. Am exhausted. But hopeful of finding treatments that might work. quote: "Heat therapy can cause internal bleeding. The high death rate and labor-intensive methods associated with whole-body heat therapy, have also caused concerns. Heat therapy should only be given under careful supervision by qualified physicians. Most normal tissues are not harmed during hyperthermia, if the temperature stays below 111° F. However, higher temperatures may happen in some areas of the body, causing burns, blisters, or pain. Heat should also be used with caution in people who have anemia, heart disease, diabetes, seizure disorders, and tuberculosis, as well as women who are pregnant, and people who are sensitive to the effects of heat. Intracellular hyperthermia using DNP has caused deaths." http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/content/ETO_5_3X_Heat_Therapy.asp?sitearea=ETO [ACS, American Cancer Society] ----------------------- Probably whole-body heat therapy would be the only one worth trying, since the cancer cells seem to be all over the body anyway, once the cancer starts showing up in medical tests (such as in the breast, etc.). I don't trust the spread/mets theory of cancer. Since I have major CHF from injuries & cancer meds, .... & severe mitral regurgitation (bleeding in heart) from the CHF & cancer meds, .... I probably can't try heat therapy.

From: tuckerb@insightbb.com (Bill & Cathy) Iam a distributor for a product that you wont have heard of, but I am sending you to a competitor read the info you decide http://205.234.239.246/breast_cancer.htm good luck ==================== Thank you for the good wishes. ----------- The mangosteen juice appears to be a MLM marketing scheme (multi-level marketing scheme). Ralph Moss comments on these: MLM, mangosteen juice, & noni juice (another MLM). Many fruit juices have some benefit. There seems no reason to buy an extremely expensive one from a MLM scheme. Susan Wms, Su_Texas my opinions Heat Therapy For Cancer [I can't try this, because of major CHF & mitral valve leakage. I'm not sure it would have any chance of working, anyway. And it might be too dangerous to try.] ------------ Hot Water Heating water to 108 F in isolation tank, is probably too hot. Way too hot. This treatment (hot water) would require constant monitoring of pulse & blood pressure while immersed. I wonder how you'd do that underwater? Since the nose is above water, & the air not 108 F, ..... then the lungs probably wouldn't get as hot as the rest of the body, & the cancer cells remain there, to quickly re-spread? How hot would the inside of the body need to get, to kill cancer cells? What things could enhance this, make the cancer die at a lower water (& blood) temperature? ------------ Heating Blood I read one man's blog of his adventures in seeking cancer care, including those in Mexico. He had the anesthesia, his blood run through heater to 108 F (best I can remember), & returned to his body. Neither that treatment, nor any other, worked. He died within a year or two. I wonder what some of the reasons are, why it wouldn't work? Perhaps just heating the blood isn't enough? The cancer could remain in other tissue, & then re-spread. Perhaps heating the blood, doesn't kill the cancer? ---------------- Also, almost anything done in hospital, can prove quite dangerous, due to infections & such. Incompetent doctors & surgeons & staff. Wrong anesthesia or medication. Medical mistakes. ------------------ So far, I can't see how heat therapy (either soaking in hot water, or heating the blood externally), could work effectively in killing cancer cells. And these treatments have the potential of doing serious harm. Susan Wms, Su_Texas my opinions Correction: Heating water to 108 F in isolation [flotation, float] tank, is probably too hot. Way too hot. Susan Wms, Su_Texas my opinions |
