Alternative Cancer Treatment That Kills Only The Cancer Cells
For many years,scientist have recognized that cancer cells are more sensitive to heat than normal cells,and that at high temperatures cancer cells break down. This helps explain why,after the Renaissance,there were reports of spontaneous tumor regressions in patients with smallpox,influenza,tuberculosis,and malaria,where the common factor was an infectious fever of about 104°F –40°C. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries,there were scattered reports of similar successes.
For years,though the principles of tumor heating were widely understood,the technology to direct the heat in a concentrated area lagged behind the theory. In modern day hyperthermia,controlling heating placement is done using fine sensors and directional applicators that are now standard in hyperthermic medical treatment worldwide. Using microwaves and computers with these devices,cancerous tumors is heated at about 104°F –40°C,breaking down the tumor without harming the surrounding tissues.
In normal tissues,blood vessels open up,when heat is applied,dissipating the heat and cooling down the cell environment. Unlike healthy cells,a tumor is a tightly packed group of cells,and circulation is restricted and sluggish. With heat applied to the tumor,vital nutrients and oxygen are cut off from the tumor cells. This results in a collapse of the tumors vascular system and destruction of the cells.
Hyperthermia in conjunction with low-dose IMRT is purpose intended to cure when tumors is localized. This approach has a curative intent,as opposed to palliative treatment used in conventional therapies like radiation alone,high toxic chemotherapy,and the “point of no return,”surgery,whose purpose is only to prolong patients’lives. The high temperatures can destroy the malignant tumor without harming the surrounding healthy tissue. There is also evidence that hyperthermia increases the patients’immune system,allowing the patients’own system to fight the cancer as well as the side effects of other treatments. Hyperthermia also increases the effectiveness of radiation and/or chemotherapy.
Hyperthermia greatly improves results of other cancer treatments
Hyperthermia combined with radiation therapy or chemotherapy,there is a dramatic improvement in response rates.
A recent study comparing results from leading hyperthermia researchers showed that beneficial responses were obtained by only 33% of patients treated with radiation alone,compared to 67% when radiation therapy was combined with hyperthermia. There is a twofold to threefold increase in the favorable response rate.
The most effective treatable sites Hyperthermia is known for are: brain,breast,base of tongue,neck,ovaries,prostate,throat and other anatomical sites.
The types of tumors hyperthermia is known for treating are: adenocarcinoma,carcinoma,thymoma,squamous cell,mesothelioma,sarcoma,melanoma,lymphoma,basal cell among others.
Since its inception in 1984, Valley Cancer Institute (VCI),located five miles from Los Angeles International Airport,in Culver City,California and newly expanded second facility Bicher Cancer Institute (BCI),located in Beverly Hills,California, encompasses two (2) 6,000 sq. ft. facilities. Both includes the most advanced hyperthermic technology:two linear accelerators with pinpointed radiation therapy,IMRT,research laboratories,seven Hyperthermia treatment rooms,and full radiation and medical oncology departments,capable of treating up to 60 patients a day.
BCI’s medical expertise is base on 25 years of clinical experience and research in the development of alternative cancer treatments. Most of the Institute’s oncology staff,including doctors,nurses,hyperthermia and radiology technicians,and engineers,have been with BCI from the first years of its establishment and possesses decades of expertise in the field of cancer treatment with curative intent.
James Bicher,MD,Founder and director of Bicher &Valley Cancer Institute,is considered a pioneer in the hyperthermic field. He has worked for decades to provide a cohesive body of clinical research and testing,that hyperthermia be given legal status as an approved medical procedure,in 1984. Although,Hyperthermia does come from Germany,clinics in Germany do whole body Hyperthermia,which is not approving in the U.S. At our institute we do local Hyperthermia combined with low-dose radiation,implemented,and developed by Dr. Bicher in the 70′s and 80′s. We go even further by adding the targeted radiation in the form of IMRT “Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy,”an advanced cancer treatment therapy not done anywhere else!
Surviving Cancer $3.47 When cancer specialists at Boston’s internationally renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute diagnosed Margie Levine with a deadly asbestos-related lung cancer,they predicted that she had only six months to live. Refusing to give up hope,she chose an approach that combined state-of-the-art medicine with her own holistic program. Eleven years later,her mind/body regimen has evolved into a prescri… |
