Hyperthermia, the game changing treatment 

If detected in its early stage, Lyme disease can often be treated with an appropriate course of antibiotic therapy. If undetected, untreated, or if not given a long enough dose of antibiotics, then the bacteria replicates and the disease can become chronic. During Chronic Lyme disease, biofilms form around the Lyme bacteria, and antibiotics cannot penetrate through the biofilm to reach the infection. However, hyperthermia breaks down biofilms, and reaches high enough temperatures to kill the Lyme bacteria.

Lyme disease has been found on every continent except Antarctica. It has been spread to all 50 states, with a particularly high incidence in the East, Midwest, and West Coast. Rates have increased substantially over time.

Lyme disease is often clinical diagnosis—based on your medical history, symptoms, and exposure to ticks. As the current two-tier testing model for Lyme Disease recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) misses over 1/2 of actual cases. More reliable tests can be found at Armin Labs, IGeneX, Fry Labs, Galaxy Diagnostics, and DNA Connexions.

There are over a hundred different symptoms of Lyme disease recorded. Symptoms can also change over time, as the bacteria spreads throughout the body. Often the infection will attack wherever the patient is genetically weak. Lyme disease can affect almost any organ of your body, including the brain, nervous system, muscles and joints, and the heart. Symptoms can overlap those of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, depression and Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, many patients with Lyme report being misdiagnosed with a different condition before being properly diagnosed with Lyme disease. For a more complete list of symptoms click here.

“Vectors” such as ticks, mosquitos, and fleas transmit Lyme and co-infections from animals like mice, rats, and squirrels to humans when they bite. Ticks can carry many bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoans all at the same time and transmit them in a single bite. Some common infections carried by a tick other than Lyme disease include bartonella, babesiosis, anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, relapsing fever, tularemia, Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF). A person infected with co-infections generally experience more severe symptoms and a longer recovery.

Cancer can begin any place in the body and starts when abnormal cells grow out of control and crowd out normal healthy cells. Cancer forms when the body’s normal control mechanisms stop functioning. Old cells do not die and instead continue to create new abnormal cells. The additional cells are what may create a mass of tissue called a tumor. A mass that is cancerous is called malignant. Although, not all cancers form tumors, as there are some cancers that grow in the blood or other cells of the body. 

Cancer can be caused by multiple different factors. Some of the main causes include, an impaired immune system, elevated levels of environmental toxins, lifestyle factors, dietary habits, chronic stress, infectious agents, hormones in food, drugs, radiation exposure, free radicals, and electromagnetic fields.

The treating doctors need to know if and how far the cancer has spread. Knowing the stage of the cancer helps the doctor decide the appropriate treatment. Stage 1 or 2 is a lower stage of cancer and often means the cancer has not spread significantly. Stage 3 or 4 means that the cancer has spread and is more serious.

Conventional medicine usually treats the symptoms of the disease. However, not the root cause, which can then develop a better chance of a reoccurrence in cancer later on.  By combining conventional treatments with integrative therapies, patients have the best chance of not only overcoming the symptoms but also restoring their health. By activating the immune system through hyperthermia and then incorporating nutrient infusions and detoxification therapies the body is given its best fighting chance to recover.

The core temperature of the body is increased carefully through the use of whole-body infrared-A-irradiation. The goal is to bring the body temperature to at least 106° F (41.1° C), which is the temperature at which it is believed many strains of Borreliosis are affected. If the patient is able to tolerate higher temperatures, doctors at the hospitals in Germany and Mexico believe it is preferable to try and reach 107° F (41.67° C) and slightly above.

• Increasing body temperature kills Lyme microbes and other co-infections.
• Increases the effectiveness of antibiotics, by enabling antibiotics to get inside the cells more easily.
• Disrupts the structural integrity of biofilms
• Stimulates the detoxification process
• Signals the immune system to increase

Raising the core body temperature artificially induces a fever response, which stimulates the immune system to work harder.  It also assists to increase the effectiveness of other cancer therapies, and it can help the body to release so that toxins can be eliminated by the body.

During Hyperthermia therapy, tumorous tissue is heated using different techniques. As a result of this heating:

• The cancer cells are damaged
• The blood and oxygen supply are reduced, causing an increase of cancer cell killing
• The body’s own immunological defense mechanisms are activated

The body can tolerate temperatures under 43° C. Therefore, the target temperature is 41-42° C.  Extreme-whole body hyperthermia is considered safe when performed in an in-hospital setting where you are monitored the entire procedure, and detoxification therapies are provided before hyperthermia to prepare your body for treatment, and after to help your body with the die off reaction. While side effects are rare, the most common ones are minor burns, blisters, rashes, diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue. In very rare cases, serious complications could occur.  However, throughout the many years these hospitals have carried out whole-body hyperthermia treatment, careful selection of patients in compliance with doctors’ recommendations have kept the risks associated with hyperthermia to an absolute minimum. In general, this form of therapy is considered to be highly effective and well tolerated.
