Back in 1893, Dr. William Coley injected bacterial toxins into tumors. The resulting fevers destroyed the cancer. A later German study showed his approach led to a 93% remission rate for non-Hodgkin lymphoma \u2014 versus just 29% for chemo.<\/p>\n<p>In 1927, a Nobel Prize was awarded for hyperthermic therapy. Because cancer cells die at just 108\u00b0F. Healthy cells? They need much higher heat. That means induced hyperthermia is safe, selective, and effective \u2014 improving healthy cell function while wiping out malignant ones.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thetruthaboutcancer.com\/ttac-book-hyperthermia-treatment\/\">https:\/\/thetruthaboutcancer.com\/ttac-book-hyperthermia-treatment\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You already know what happens when your body fights illness: it turns up the heat.
