with Dr. Herzog from the Fachklinik Dr. Herzog in Nidda / Bad Salzhausen / Germany

Dr. Herzog says ‘Everyday you live with choice, its the most important thing you can have and you should never give up.’ There are many treatments to be done, its a matter of knowing about the relationship between the treatments and how they can be used in unison. Sometimes there is no research to show a particular herb, vitamin or treatment cures cancer but it is possible they provide a better quality of life.

In addition to conventional cancer therapy (e.g. chemotherapy, hormone therapy, pain therapy) and the various kinds of hyperthermia in the Herzog hospital complementary ways of treatment from biological cancer therapy, naturopathy, psychology, sports therapy, and nutritional therapy are used.

The methods  applied strengthen the body defenses, particularly the immune system, and the patient’s general well-being include:

  • Biological cancer therapy (unspecific immune stimulation by mistletoe lectines,  standardized thymus peptides, enzyme therapy, orthomolecular therapy, oxygen multi-step therapy, special methods of autohemotherapy, ozonetherapy)
  • All methods of classical naturopathy
  • Active endogenous fever therapy
  • Detoxifying methods (intestinal purgation/sanitation, colon hydrotherapy, antioxidants, therapeutic fasting)
  • Nutritional therapy, special dietetics
  • Treatments with herbal extracts
  • Physiotherapy, breathing therapy and sports therapy
  • Comprehensive balneo-physical therapy including lymphdrainage and massage, massage of foot reflex zones.
  • Neural therapy
  • Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM e. g. acupuncture, soft laser acupunture, acupressure)
  • Homeopathy (classical homeopathy and homeopathy according to Ramakrishnan’s method)
  • Psychooncological therapy methods including art therapy and meditation

This complementary methods of treatment have proved to be of particular value:

  • to increase the therapeutic effects of conventional meathodes
  • to reduce the side effects of conventional therapies as much as possible
  • to preserve therapeutic successes
  • to activate the immune system and other defense mechanisms of the body thus furthering the faculties of self-healing
  • to detoxify
  • to increase physical fitness
  • to improve the chances of recovery
  • to restore the quality of life

Whole Body Hyperthermia (WBH)

The healing effect of fever has been known for many centuries.  Whole body hyperthermia (WBH) is a new treatment using the well known principle of fever in a therapeutic way. There are different ways of action:

* Fever to activate the immune system
* Heat as thermic damage of cancer tissue
* The thermic increase of the efficiency of chemotherapy

Moderate Whole Body Hyperthermia – stimulates the immune system.

The moderate whole body hyperthermia mainly activates the immune system.  This treatment is given when chemotherapy is not appropriate.  We raise the body core temperature to about 39.5 c (103.1 f), which simulates a natural fever increasing the number and activity of natural cells, T-helper cells and cytotoxic T-cells.  This treatment is also used in cancer diseases with special association to the immune system like renal-cell-carcinoma, malignant melanoma and special lymphomas.

Moderate whole body hyperthermia is also used to prevent recurrences.

Temperature Curve during Whole Body Hyperthermia treatment

Temperature Curve during Whole Body Hyperthermia treatment This picture demonstrates the body-temperature during the treatment.
Extreme Whole Body Hyperthermia – particularly in advanced or metastatic disease.
Extreme whole body hyperthermia is used in combination with chemotherapy in advanced or metastatic cancer.  The body core temperature is increased up to 42 c (107.6 f).

Extreme whole body hyperthermia is useful in advanced cancer, especially with metastases in different organs, e.g. in the liver, bones or lungs.

Together with whole body hyperthermia, chemotherapy is more effective.  We start the chemotherapy at a temperature of about 41 c (105.8 f).  Very often it is possible to use very low doses of chemotherapy, so side effects of the chemotherapy are kept to a minimum.  Tumours or metastases resistant to chemotherapy can be successfully treated with a combination treatment of chemotherapy and whole body hyperthermia.

Body  core temperature is increased carefully using whole body waterfiltered infra-red-A-irradiation.  The extreme whole body hyperthermia is a safe treatment.

During the whole body hyperthermia the patient is in a special unit (IRATHERM 2000) and can be reached from all sides.
