Video Testimonials given by patients who completed treatment at Bicher Cancer Institute. Using Dr. Bicher's specific hyperthermia protocal combined with low dose radiation.
Some types of cancer cells suffer damage when heated above a particular temperature. Depending on the cancer, this temperature may be low enough to safely use hyperthermia to weaken cancer cells without also damaging healthy tissue. The method of increasing the body's temperature is also important.
One way to induce hyperthermia is to use thermal chambers or hot water blankets. These devices will heat the entire body, raising its temperature. Doctors use these devices to treat metastatic cancers -- these cancers spread from the point of origin to other parts of the body.

Features:

• Gentle heat applicator.
• Low DOSE Radiation.
• Less or no side effects compared to conventional treatments
• Accepted by Medicare and most private insurance's.
• FDA approved treatment.

Doctors can also target specific regions to induce hyperthermia and treat cancer cells. One technique is perfusion, which involves removing some of the cancer patient's blood, heating the blood and reintroducing it into the body part that contains the cancer. Another approach is continuous hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion (CHPP). Using this method, doctors introduce heated anticancer drugs into the peritoneal cavity -- that's the part of your body that contains your liver, intestines and stomach. They introduce the drugs during surgery.
Doctors can also use microwaves, radiofrequencies or ultrasound to energize cancer cells and induce heat. These methods are very precise -- doctors can concentrate hyperthermia therapy to just the cancer cells and minimize the effects on healthy tissue.
