The Klinik St. Hospital - www.klinik-st-georg.de in Bad Aibling,

Germany, has treated 2500 German and 2500 foreign patients each year. Their

cancer treatment regime is a week of detoxification and strengthening the

immune system with diet and nutritional supplements, followed by 2 weeks of

localized Infrared hypothermia treatment and low dose chemotherapy. This

regime has produced great success in treating cancers.

2) The cancerous cell has a weakness, heat.

It will die if the temperature goes above 42C/107.6 F.

a) Far Infrared treatment raises body temperature to 42 degrees C.

Far Infrared heat penetrates through the body and kills existing

cancerous cells.

c) Far Infrared heat enables capillaries to expand, thus enabling good

circulation and combating the potential existence of cancer cells.

d) Far Infrared thermal therapy can alleviate pain and prolong life when

conventional cancer treatment fails.

http://www.klinik-st-georg.de/e/therapies/hyperthermia/index.html

a.. Applied as Superficial Hyperthermia for different types of skin cancer

and skin metastasis of other primary tumors.

b.. Applied as Deep Hyperthermia for cancers which are deeply seated for

instance in the low mediastinum, praesacral area of brain etc.

c.. Applied as Prostate Hyperthermia

This gentle form of Hyperthermia is applied under local anesthesia. With the

help of a catheter, a heat probe is inserted into the urethra and placed in

the prostate. The probe is then heated up to a temperature of 114°-158°F

causing benign and malignant tissue to melt. This procedure is controlled by

a computer. Malignant tissue is destroyed and replaced by healthy tissue.

Interstitial High Frequency Thermotherapy (HFTT)

Systematic Whole Body Hyperthermia (SWBH)

Electro-Chemical Cancer Treatment (ECT)

reatment.html

Unlike Hyperthermia, this therapy does not use heat, but electrical current.

To create an standing electrical field needles are inserted directly into

the tumor. The electrical field changes the pH-value and the natural

electrical charge of the tumor tissue. This disturbs the essential

life-processes of the tumor cells and causes them to die. This therapy is

used at Medi-Therm Kliniken GmbH & Co. KG for the treatment of:

a.. Breast cancer

b.. Tumors of the ear, nose and throat

c.. Gynecological, urological carcinomas and soft tissue tumors

d.. Skin cancer such as basal cell carcinoma, spinocellular carcinoma and

melanoma.

Electro medicine has been widely used for many years, especially in

orthopedics where it has been used for regeneration, i. e., to increase the

healing process in broken bones (1) and pain purposes. In Oncology, however,

the use of electromedicine (ECT) is relatively new and stems from research

investigations of Pekar (2) and Nordenström (3). Since 1987, St. Georg

Hospital has treated hundred of patients with this method of treatment.

Direct current can be directed into tumorous tissue (skin metastases, lymph

node metastases or isolated organ metastases) through the application of

electrodes. If the total amount of direct current is high enough, this

procedure can result in the destruction of cancerous cells and in extreme

cases, no necrotization.

As soon as direct current is connected to the electrodes, different

electrochemical reactions influence the pH-value and can cause electrolysis

of tumor tissue. Depolarization of the cell membranes changes the cellular

environment forcing the tumor cells to be gently destroyed. Consequence of

this process is the interruption of certain functions within the cancerous

cells, which in turn, can lead to the destruction of these cells. Tumor

tissue is more susceptible to direct current than normal tissue, thus

allowing the destruction of cancerous cells to occur when direct current is

applied directly to the malignant tissue. The body 's own catabolic

processes remove the destroyed malignant tissue from the body. It is also

possible that through this process the immune system starts fighting all

other cancer cells within the body. Once ECT or Galvano (as it is commonly

known) treatment is successfully completed, the cancerous are treated, heals

and is replaced with scar tissue.

ECT is suitable for all types of superficial or deep seated tumors, which

can be reached by needle elektrodes. Specifically, however, are:

a.. small mama carcinomas or isolated axillary, supraclavicular and

thoracic nodes.

b.. all tumors of the ENT area, especially after radiation or

chemotherapy.

c.. skin carcinomas e. g. Basaliome, Spinocellular carcinoma, Melanoma

etc.

d.. gynecological carcinomas;

e.. soft tissue tumors

f.. The destructive effect of the direct current on tumorous tissue can be

enhanced by the simultaneous administration of cytostatic substances, for

example, Mitomycin, Adrimycin, Epirubicin and Cis-Platinium. Most cytostatic

substances are positively charged, which when inserted onto the anode in an

electrical field directed through tumorous tissue move to the cathodes

(iontophoresis movement). In this way, cytostatics can be introduced into

the tumorous tissue in a very targeted and concentrated manner. This method

can be more effective on the tumor side than standard systemic chemotherapy

or local cytostatic perfusion. Cytostatic substances are best applied to

hollow organs, for example, esophagus, bladder, stomach and rectum. The

membrane potentials are changed so much by the current that the cells open

and absorb cytostatic substances more rapidly.

g.. Normally the treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic and on

an outpatient basis. The size of the Tumor determines how many needle

elektrodes are required, however, a minimum of 2 are always used. These are

introduced into the tumor through the skin. The electrodes should not be

further than 1.5 cm apart. The minimum required electric field must be 35

coulombs/ml although upto 90 coulombs/ml are normally used. During the

treatment, the patient will experience a slight pressure pain or a slight

tingling in the treated area. Direct current brings about long lasting pain

relief because it inhibits the activity of sensory nerve fibers. Therefore

there is no pain after treatment. However because the cancerous tissue is

being destroyed through this method of treatment, it is normal that

inflammation occurs for a couple of days afterwards. The cancerous tissue is

broken down naturally, which when eliminated from the body is replaced by

scar tissue. Superinfections rarely occur. ECT replaces operations and

radiation treatment. Judging by the very positive therapy results, it can be

assumed, that ECT will become an important form of treatment for malignant

diseases.

Have had several news posts stating that Pres. Reagan went to

Germany during his time in office for a procedure that raised his

body temp to 106 +/- 1 deg. F, attacked early, continued treatments

here but didn't feel like taking on the A.M.A. so kept it quiet.

Latest word is they are still the leading specialists in CA

treatment without surgery, take a lot better attitude re damage to

patients, use stuff forbidden here [won't ever get FDA approval

since it undercuts M.Diety office visit billing].
