Has anyone been to germany for hyperthermia treatment? Or done extensive research on it? They apparently heat the body to 107. Interested in hearing about all experiences.

I'd be leery of it too, but I haven't read about it.

From a website...

41.11 degrees centigrade (106 degrees Fahrenheit).19 In addition to the above research, a 1937 study by a Mayo Clinic doctor on “The blood picture before and after fever therapy by physical means” (using the hot air Kettering hypertherm sauna) found a 58% increase in white blood cell count after fevers of 104° to 106.8°F (40° to 41.6°C) were induced in subjects. Moreover, the white blood cell increase remained several hours after the fevers were induced. Not only are the body’s immune defenses marshaled through fever, but many pathogenic microbes cannot survive in temperatures above, say, about 105°F (40.6°C). For instance, the growth rate of the polio virus is reduced up to 250 times at 104°F (40°C). The Lyme disease spirochete (a dangerous corkscrew-shaped bacterium) dies at the same temperature.


Temperatures of about 106°F (41.1°C) cause the death of the Streptococcus pneumoniae bacterium, which causes pneumonia, middle ear infections, arthritis, and inflammation of the heart, brain, intestinal, and spinal cord membranes.

High heat also kills tumors: cancer cells die at temperatures from about 104°F to 107°F (40°C to 41.7°C). Dr. Jeffrey Freeman, founder of the Europa Institute of Integrated Medicine, explains the mechanism of this process:

Researchers have found that the blood vessels in normal tissue actually open up (to dilate) when heat is applied, in an effort to flush out the heat and cool the cell environment down. Because a tumor is a more tightly packed group of cells, blood circulation is restrictive and sluggish. When heat is applied to the tumor . . . temperature continues to rise to destructive levels. This process continues over a period of time even after the treatment....The tumor cells are now extremely susceptible to destruction by radiation or by additional heating.20

Artificially induced hyperthermia (an abnormally high body temperature, or fever) can be created when heat is applied either to the entire body, or to individual areas when the cancerous tissue is local and circumscribed. Sometimes, minute amounts of mistletoe (mistletoe is lethal in large doses) are injected to produce heat. Or, the doctor can inject other herbs or drugs, or use hot water, far infrared, or some other heat-generating method. After the client’s temperature is raised to that of a high fever, ice or cold water are carefully applied and the temperature returns to normal. This takes place in a highly controlled environment with various life support monitoring equipment, where blood glucose, electrolytes, and other vital sign levels are very carefully watched. Freeman notes that many types of cancer respond well to hyperthermia: cancer of the bladder, bowels, breast, liver, lung, lymph, prostate, stomach, and uterus. “Cancer patients whose previous treatments have proven unsuccessful may benefit from hyperthermia,” he writes. “Most patients receiving hyperthermia find it very tolerable....There is no danger” as long as the person is monitored by the physician. The machines used for the therapy are water-cooled, thus maintaining a constant temperature. Those receiving allopathic care such as radiation or chemical treatments “are able to reduce the dosage....This results in far less [overall] toxicity [to the body].”21

Some, but I didn't go to Germany. I use a FAR infrared sauna. HeathersDad has a good protocol that goes with the sauna; you might want to ask him for it.

My LLMD said some of his patients had good success with the Germany thing. It's all controlled, and they use i.vs.

I don't think it would feel that great though.

As Opugirl posted above, for those of us using Fahrenheit temperatures, that's a whopping 106.88 degrees. This can also be very, very dangerous causing issues with other parts of the body such as convulsions and is the temperature that the body reaches when heat stroke is happening.

While I most certainly hope that you continue to feel well, Kat, this is not something I would recommend when there are other options.

That high of heat in the body is dangerous - even with medical personnel standing by. With all the other options that are out there that have proven effective for many, many people, I would encourage people to try other things first.

Kat's post was a little suspect. New member and only one post 2 years ago.

You can't test "negative" for lyme if you had lyme. You can't be lyme positive and then later be lyme negative. Antibodies stay in the body for life.

Please do update us after you speak to her.

Yes, it would be great to hear more first hand accounts of people who have tried this. I would consider it. It's good to know that the treatment at St. George seems to be more effective than the treatment in Switzerland. If I did get the opportunity to try this, it would be a one shot deal. I wd want to make sure I had a good chance of 100% cure before I invested the money.

I have tried almost every treatment offered to lyme patients with 0 results. I got sick 4 years ago, and I feel exactly the same now as I did then. It's disheartening. I know this procedure sounds risky, but doing nothing and developing alzheimers is also very risky.

gfields I think St. George does Antibiotics by way of IPT but you can contact them before to be sure. Paracelsus did do it in 2014 when I was there-maybe now.
I also know if you are a patient of Dr. Rau they check your dental first-no root canals-metals-they have a dental clinic connected to their main clinic

Ya, the IM rocephin does help a bit, but never has fully fixed the problem. Over the summer I did it twice a day for a month. The problem is, you get these golf ball sized lumps at the injection sites, and then you have to inject through those lumps. Eventually you run out of room. I'm sure IV is ideal.

In the end, it didn't seem to fix the problem. Not sure if spirochetes are hiding in nematode worms or biofilms, or if it's a different co-infection that is not affected by rocephin.
