Artificially Induced Fever

(The fight against cancer)

“Give me a chance to create a fever and I will cure any disease,” said the great ancient physician Parmenides. Many modern giants of biological medicine in Europe, such as the Nobel Prize winner, Dr. A. Lwoff, 41 famous German cancer specialist, Prof. Werner Zabel, 42 and the director of the most successful cancer clinic in the world, the Ringberg-Klinik, Dr. Josef Issels, use artificially induced fever in their battle against cancer.42
Dr. Werner Zabel told the following true story, which illustrates the cancer-preventive and cancer-healing effect of artificially induced fever:
Not far from Rome, Italy, there were huge swampy areas called the Pontine Swamps. These swamps were excellent breeding grounds for malaria mosquitoes, and the whole area was affected by malaria.
Then, by government action, the Pontine Swamps were drained and dried out. As a result malaria completely disappeared. But Italian medical researchers made a remarkable observation. While earlier the whole malaria-infected area was completely free from cancer, now, one generation later, it had the same prevalence of cancer as the rest of Italy. The scientists concluded that the frequent fever attacks common in malaria stimulated the body’s own defenses so that cancer could not develop.
Fever has been too long a misunderstood and mistreated symptom. Most orthodox doctors try to combat and suppress fever. Actually fever is a constructive, health-promoting symptom, initiated and created by the body in its own effort to fight infections and other conditions of disease and to restore health. High temperature speeds up metabolism, inhibits the growth of invading virus or bacteria and accelerates the healing processes.
In folk medicine in various parts of the world fever has been used for centuries to heal disease. In the West Indies, natives afflicted with syphilis or cancer cured them-selves by deliberately subjecting themselves to infection from such high fever diseases as malaria, typhus fever or typhoid fever.
Dr. A. Lwoff, famous French bacteriologist, has demonstrated in repeated scientific experiments that fever is indeed a “great medicine,” and that it can help to cure many “incurable diseases”. In biological clinics in Europe, artificially induced fever, mostly in the form of overheating baths, has been used successfully to treat such conditions as rheumatic diseases, skin disorders, insomnia, arthritis – and cancer. Dr. Josef Issels has said, “Artificially induced fever has the greatest potential in the treatment of many diseases, including cancer.” Mark well that this remark is made by one of the leading cancer specialists in the world!
The usual method of inducing fever is the so-called Schlenzbath.43 The patient is totally immersed in a large bathtub filled with water between 100-102 degrees Fahrenheit. Only the nose and mouth are left free for breathing. In about half an hour, the body’s temperature will gradually rise to match the temperature of the water.
Needless to say, treatment should be given by the nurse and should be well supervised. The temperature of the water and of the patient, and the patient’s pulse, should be checked periodically. Detailed instructions for administering the Schlenz-bath are given in my book, How To Get Well.43

OVERHEATING THERAPY

“Give me a chance to create fever and I will cure any disease,” said the great physician, Parmenides, 2,000 years ago.
Fever is one of the body’s own defensive and healing forces, created and sustained for the deliberate purpose of restoring health. The high temperature speeds up metabolism, inhibits the growth of the invading virus or bacteria, and literally burns the enemy with heat. Fever is an effective protective and healing measure not only against colds and simple infections, but against such serious diseases as polio and cancer. In biological clinics, overheating therapies or artificially induced fever are used effectively in the treatment of acute infectious diseases, arthritis and rheumatic diseases, skin disorders, insomnia, muscular pain and cancer, to name a few conditions. Such giants of medical science as Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. A. Lwoff, Dr. Werner Zabel, and Dr. Josef Issels, recommend and use fever therapies extensively. Recently, a research team under the direction of Dr. David S. Muchles, from Oxford University, reported that the studies confirmed what ancient physicians and biological doctors knew all along – that fever is effective in combating many diseases, including cancer.
There are many ways to induce fever. Some doctors use certain vaccines (like BCG) or drugs to create artificial fever. Personally, I prefer a more natural approach. Although fever induced with BCG or drugs can have a beneficial effect by “waking up” and stimulating the body’s natural defensive and immunological mechanism, there is less stress on the body if fever is induced with an overheating bath. Schlenz-bath has been used for this purpose for nearly a century.

SAUNA

A sauna, or Finnish steam bath, is another excellent way to benefit from overheating therapy. In addition to an artificially induced fever, which a prolonged steam bath always accomplishes, the sauna bath is specifically conducive to profuse therapeutic sweating.
The skin is our largest eliminative organ – “the third kidney.” It is generally considered that the skin should eliminate 30 percent of the body wastes by way of perspiration. Due to lack of physical work and an overly sedentary life, the skin of most people today has degenerated as an eliminative organ, since it is hardly ever subjected to sweating. If health is to be restored, it is of vital importance that the eliminative activity of the skin is revitalized. Taking sauna or steam baths regularly, once or twice a week, will help to restore and revitalize the cleansing activity of the skin.
The therapeutic property of the sauna is attributed to the following facts:

• Overheating stimulates and speeds up the metabolic processes and inhibits the growth of virus and bacteria.
• All the vital organs and glands are stimulated to increased activity.
• The body’s healing forces are aided and assisted, and healing is accelerated.
• The eliminative, detoxifying and cleansing capacity of the skin is dramatically increased by the profuse sweating.

Hyperthermia gives cancer a triple whammy by:
1. removing accumulations of stored toxic chemicals that cause cancer
2. improving circulation so that tissues are both nourished with oxygen and flushed of acidic metabolic wastes
3. weakening or even killing cancer cells that have a lower tolerance for heat than healthy cells.
This makes regular hyperthermia an excellent addition to a healthy cancer-preventing lifestyle and a useful part of a comprehensive program to remove cancer. Hyperthermia to detoxify the body is most effective if used together with exercise and enhanced nutrition.
It is possible to overdo a good thing. “In the tissue culture the cancer cell will be damaged by a temperature of 39° C. and dies at 42° C.; the normal cell will be damaged by 43° C. and dies at 46-47° C.” – Professor Lambert, quoted in Gerson page 45. Cancer cells damaged by hyperthermia are much more easily killed by other means, so hyperthermia works well as a complementary therapy.
If you are using hyperthermia for therapeutic purposes find a doctor to work with who knows about hyperthermia. Also, if you are having a sauna frequently, be sure to supplement your diet with calcium, magnesium and trace minerals to replace beneficial minerals lost in the sweat.
“For many patients, battling cancer has also meant fighting constant pain, or relying on strong narcotics like Demerol or morphine derivatives. Hyperthermia is an excellent alternative to the use of these addictive drugs. Not only it is an effective cancer treatment, but it often dramatically reduces pain which allows for better quality of life. Subsequently, this enables many people to devote more energy to their fight against cancer.” – Valley Cancer Institute
We find that a hot bath (108°F / 42°C) is very effective to relieve pain, nausea and other discomfort. Since it is free and simple, why not give it a try? Hyperthermia is on our list of non-drug ways to deal with cancer pain.
The herb cilantro helps remove metals such as mercury, lead and aluminum from the body. Cilantro is a kind of parsley and is widely available in grocery stores. The seeds of the cilantro plant are commonly known as “coriander”. Chop the cilantro finely and mix in soups and salads to cleanse these metals from your body. Malic acid (found in apples and apple cider vinegar) helps remove aluminum from the body.
Increasing the amount of glutathione in your body will help remove heavy metals such as mercury, lead and cadmium while increasing lifespan by up to 40%. Heavy metals and other toxins stored in the liver and gall bladder as “stones” can be voided via the colon when you do a liver and gall bladder “cleanse” or “flush”. You can do a search of the Internet to learn how to do this.

Page Summary
Heat therapy is an ancient and effective technique to promote good health, prevent disease, and treat many conditions. Whether you bury yourself in desert sand, sit in the sun, soak in warm water, or experience a fever during illness, raising body temperature and increasing sweating will purify the body, cleanse the skin, relax the body, improve circulation, stimulate the immune system, and weaken or kill cancer cells. A relatively long (45 – 90 minutes) low temperature (about 108°F / 42°C) heat therapy session is most effective. You can do this weekly to prevent disease and promote health, and daily to help the body recover from disease. Heat therapy is inexpensive and can be enjoyed at home by everyone.
