The idea of using heat as a curative modality is not new, and is based on the natural response of the body to disease. In fact, Hippocrates, the “father of medicine” said, “What is not cured by the knife, may be cured by fire.” The ancient Egyptians also recorded using heat for healing in their hieroglyphic texts. And now, 30 years of modern scientific research has determined that the combination of heat treatment with radiation and/or chemotherapy dramatically improves cancer treatment response rates by as much as 44% - without side effects.
Thermal therapy is FDA approved and covered by most insurance, and has proven to be effective on a variety of different types of cancer and has exhibited marked results. In some studies, it has doubled a patient's response rate to radiation therapy: increasing survival, eliminating tumor sites, shrinking tumors and offering palliation. Increased survival and improved response rate has been clinically shown in these areas: Head and neck, thyroid, prostate, breast, axilla, chest, cervical and gynecological, colon, throat, melanoma, base of tongue, among others.
