saunas and fever therapies

[Guest guest]

Part of the reason that cancer rates tend to be low in the less developed

countries is because of the prevalence of diseases that produce fevers or

otherwise induce an immune response. These include malaria (Vivax is best),

dengue, mumps, Newcastle virus, trichinella (Britov), erysipelas and seratia

(Coley). I have used forms of cholera for cancer that are non-pathogenic

for humans and I've seen colon to liver cancers melt away with their use.

There is a great bias against these organisms in the the developed world.

The whole idea is repugnant to most westerners. They would rather die with

the dignity of proper medical supervision than let themselves get exposed to

diseases that are common among the impoverished and the lower

classes/castes. Physicians can't see supervising a therapy that detracts

from their respectability, opens them to ridicule from colleagues and

lawsuits from patients, that can cost them their license, and would be

unlikely to make them money. These therapies work as stand alone therapies.

Saunas are not an adequate cancer treatment. I have never seen a sauna or

similar hyperthermia cure a cancer -- this is in thousands of cases and

using many variations. Saunas do kick up many other therapies though.

I don't know why people use them so mindlessly. I know of one fellow with

pancreatic cancer, retired military, who (as part of a one-month program)

laid in a hyperthermia chamber (Haekel bed) for up to six hours at the

highest temperature. He was able to get a 50% shrinkage. He was very

pleased as was his physician who then sent him home with a big bag of

medicines. I was extremely alarmed. I did not know who lived in a bigger

dream world -- the patient or the physician. Both fellows were of above

average intelligence and they professed the same goal -- that of getting the

patient well. I saw it as a shared fantasy -- a type of medical social

contract. The patient pretends the doc is going to cure him and the doc

pretends to cure. Several hundred billion transformed cells say otherwise.

Within three months the patient was dead.

I've seen such things repeated and repeated and repeated, both in

conventional and alternative medicine. It is unlikely that things will

change until we clean up our chemical slough of an environment and until we

remove the profit motive from maintenance of disease.

I once had a belief that if there was enough freedom and chaos in

alternative medicine eventually some very smart ideas would rise to the top.

I no longer believe this. Today a stage 4 melanoma patient told me of a

fellow who knew a fellow who cured his advanced cancer by drinking motor

oil, so he wanted to try it himself. He wanted to know if I thought the

motor oil would be better if it were new or used or maybe the high detergent

oil.

I told him that if he wanted to cure his cancer with oil he would need

professional medical assistance. First he should go to the state medical

board and find the most prestigeous and highly respected doctors in his

community. This will form his reject list and they must be immediately

culled. The only reason he would want a doc is for ordering tests and for

an occasional off-label prescription. The flakiest docs are the most

compliant.

Next he would need to find a supply of fresh vegetable oil. He would then

set up a small refinery in his kitchen and purify it and purify it and

purify it until he has obtained all the pure, pure oil out of it. The pure

oil would make a nice gift for a prestigeous doctor. It is the

unsaponifiable remaining residue that anyone sensible would want. This is

fraction that is rich in beta-sitosterol and related anti-cancer compounds.

I told the motor oil informant to hook me up with the actual person who did

this, if it is true. I will delight in reporting details to the list. This

weekend is the Natural Products Expo in Anaheim, CA with some 5,000

exhibitors.
