Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 So far the best way I've seen to stimulate the immune system in a very short period of time (in a matter of weeks) is to challenge the immune system with Coley's cancer vaccine by inducing fevers, about 1 to 2 hours in duration, in the 39-41 C temperature range. Within 1 or 2 weeks you will likely see significant increases in white blood cells, lymphocytes and neutrophils. I've seen WBC increase from a low of 3300 go up to 5500 in only 1 week. I've also seen a CA 15-3 tumor marker decrease 160 U/ml in that same week. Compared with the best result I've had with chemotherapy of 167 U/ml CA 15-3 decrease (with the addition of local hyperthermia, chemo-embolization and high dose vitamin C). The latter result was from a very high marker elevation, whereas the former result was from a much lower marker value so the percentage drop was much greater. Fever temperatures can augment many functions of the immune system, including enhanced T cell stimulatory activity of dendritic cells, antigen uptake, activation-associated migration, maturation, and cytokine expression. Histologic studies have shown that solid tumors often show a high degree of leukocyte infiltration. Recent evidence supports the theory that tumors grow with the assistance, rather than the antagonism, of the immune system. In contrast, the administration of Coley's Fluid (Coley's Vaccine) may reactivate the defensive activities of these tumor infiltrating leukocytes.
