Alternative cancer treatment with hyperthermia in Germany

Whole-body hyperthermia is a form of alternative cancer treatment that involves raising the body's temperature to a toxic level for cancer cells. The idea is that cancer cells are more sensitive to heat than normal cells and will be killed off by the high temperature, while normal cells can withstand the heat and survive.

The patient will be asked to remove any clothing or jewelry damaged by heat and may be given medications to help prevent fever and other side effects. The patient's vital signs will be monitored, including their temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. The treatment team will heat the patient's body. They will carefully control the temperature of the patient's body to avoid overheating. After the treatment, the team will slowly cool the patient's body to an average temperature. The patient may be monitored for any side effects, and additional treatments may be scheduled if necessary.

Whole-body hyperthermia is administered as part of a plan that includes other therapies, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The whole-body hyperthermia is not a standard cancer treatment and is not widely used or accepted in mainstream medicine. There is limited scientific evidence that needs to be more effective.
