Fever Therapy and Cancer
There are many world-renowned cancer clinics who use Fever Therapy as part of their protocol to heal cancer. A fever is the body's highly evolved attempt to destroy invading organisms and to sweat impurities out through the skin. Fever is an effective natural process of curing disease and restoring health. Hippocrates, the founder of Western medicine more than two thousand years ago said, "Give me the power to create a fever, and I shall cure any disease." Induced or naturally occurring fever achieves the following: During a fever, the functioning of the immune system is stimulated, while the growth of bacteria and virus is forced to slow down. The production of white blood cells, the primary agents of the immune system, is increased, as is the rate of their release into the blood stream. The generation of antibodies speeds up, as does the production of interferon, an anti-viral protein that also has powerful cancer-fighting properties.

World Research Links Fever to Increased Immune Response
1. There is evidence that the frequent fevers of malaria might function as a cancer-protecting factor. Dr Paavo Airola in his book, Worldwide Secrets of Staying Young related the story of the Pontine swamps near Rome in Italy, which, until a few decades ago, were a breeding ground for malaria-carrying mosquitoes. The swamps were dried out, and the malaria disappeared. However, during the next decades, that area, which had before been almost free of cancer, saw an increase in cancerous diseases. After a generation, the cancer incidence level of that area had reached the level of the rest of Itally. Malignant cells are selectively destroyed at temperatures of 106 to 110 degrees F, so the frequent fever attacks of people in the malaria-infected area may have mobilized the body’s own defenses too frequently for cancer to take hold.
2. There is evidence that artificial fever works as an immune system stimulant by increasing the number of white blood cells in the body. In a 1959 review of studies on the effects of heat treatments, Mayo Clinic researcher Dr Wakim and colleagues cite findings indicating that the number of white blood cells in the blood increased by an average of 58% during artificially induced fever.
3. Many modern giants of biological medicine in Europe, such as the Nobel Prize winner, Dr A Lwoff, famous German cancer specialist, Professor Werner Zabel, and the director of the most successful cancer clinic in the world, the Ringberg-Klinik, Dr Josef Issels, use artificially induced fever in the battle against cancer. Starting in 1951, in his hospital in Germany, Josef M Issels, M.D. administered several 100,000 fever treatments without any adverse side effects or complications to thousands of his patients suffering from progressive metastatic cancer. Studies carried out in his hospital showed the remarkable immune enhancing effects of fever therapy. Dr Josef Issels says, "Artificially induced fever has the greatest potential in the treatment of many diseases, including cancer".
4. Research into the use of thermal therapy, or heat treatment, for cancer is being conducted at the University of Texas Houston Medical School and its teaching hospital, Memorial Hermann Hospital. According to researcher John Bull, M.D. "With modern science and technology, it has become possible to mimic fever by inducing controlled heating of the whole body or individual tissues. The focus of both our laboratory research and clinical research is the use of systemic heating or whole body thermal therapy to induce a fever-like state in order to treat metastatic cancer."
5. "Fever, viruses and the patient’s own immune cells are natural healing processes in the very special sense that Nature itself has designed them without human intervention. The following inverse correlations have been found: 1. Patients with more fever have a lower incidence of cancer, 2. Patients with more viral infections (causing a feveral response) have a lower incidence of cancer. Fever and (viruses causing a feveral response) are apparently proven strategies that have evolved to confer protection against cancer."

Undertaking Fever Therapy at Home
Fever Therapy involves drinking 5 cups of hot Ginger Root tea whilst your body is fully submerged in a HOT BATH (NOT SCORCHING HOT!). The bath should contain 1000 GRAMS (up to 3 pounds) epsom salts from your supermarket and you should be submerged in the bath for 20-25 minutes. Prepare the Ginger Root tea before your bath using one small piece of ginger from your supermarket. Cut the Ginger Root into small pieces and boil it in distilled or bottled water for 5-10 minutes on the stove enough to make 5 cups of tea. Strain and pour the Ginger Root tea into a jug. Place the jug of Ginger Root tea and a cup next to your bathtub, ready to drink while in the bath. Heating up the body from the outside (the hot bath) and heating up the body from the inside (the Ginger Root tea) helps to induce a fever. After being in the bathtub for 20-25 minutes, you will likely feel faint, so be careful getting out of the bath. For this reason, it is important that someone always be present to assist you. After exiting from the bath it is important you naturally dry off (do not towel dry) and then cover up with as many blankets as possible for 3-8 hours in a bed protected with plastic (YOU WILL SWEAT) until the fever breaks. With this method the fever will generally not exceed 103 degrees and will not last more than 6-8 hours. This process should be repeated once a week for 6-8 weeks. [Dr Kent Bartell - New Hope Health Clinic, USA - Fever Therapy] Note: Avoid Ginger if your platelet count is low.

Our Experience with Home Fever Therapy
Glen Russell - Puna Wai Ora: "I have personally undertaken this therapy at home to trial it, to see firstly whether a) I would enter a fever state and b) to see how difficult or easy it is to undertake. My experience is as follows: Firstly I did feel quite faint when exiting the bath after being in the bath for around 20 minutes. It was a bit strange naturally drying off in the nude, so I used a fan-forced heater to dry off more quickly, which I did in the bedroom. Before the bath, I had already covered my bed with some plastic and I laid a sheet over the plastic and had plenty of blankets ready to put on top of me. After naturally drying off I got into my bed (still in the nude) and covered myself with all the blankets. Straight away I could feel my whole body shivering uncontrollably. My teeth were chattering and I knew I had entered into a full fever state. It was very bizarre, yet very exciting too, because I knew this strange state I was in was good for me and would boost my immune system. I was very alert to what was happening, yet the novelty of experiencing myself shivering uncontrollably wore off and I decided to fall asleep. I woke up 5 hours later and I felt incredible. My conclusions: Even though it sounds complicated to undertake, it is actually very simple. This is the first time I can ever remember being in a full-on fever state, so I can definitely say you will enter a fever using the above therapy. Because my body felt great after I woke up and for days later I would highly recommend this therapy."
