Hypothermia - Fever Therapy for Cancer


A type of treatment in which body tissue is exposed to high temperatures to damage and kill cancer cells, or in the case of conventional therapy, to make cancer cells more sensitive to the effects of radiation and certain anticancer drugs.

Local hyperthermia treatment (heat applied to a very small area, such as a tumor) is a well-established cancer treatment method with a simple basic principle: If a rise in temperature to 106÷F can be obtained for one hour within a cancer tumor, the cancer cells will be destroyed.
The area may be heated externally with high-frequency waves aimed at a tumor from a device outside the body.

Ultrasound is more easily focused than other energy modalities, and can be applied to tumors located from the skin to 8 centimeters (approx. 3 in.) within the body.

This allows the treatment of tumors unreachable by other external modalities.

Whole-body heating is used to treat metastatic cancer that has spread throughout the body.
It can be accomplished using warm-water blankets, hot wax, inductive coils (like those in electric blankets), or thermal chambers (similar to large incubators).

How to Get Rid of Plaque


Plaque is made up of invisible masses of harmful germs that live in the mouth and stick to the teeth.
  • Some types of plaque cause tooth decay
  • Other types of plaque cause gum disease
bleeding gums can be the first signs of gum disease.

If gum disease is not treated, the tissues holding the teeth in place are destroyed and the teeth are eventually lost.

Dental plaque is difficult to see unless it’s stained.

You can stain plaque by chewing red “disclosing tablets,” found at grocery stores and drug stores, or by using a cotton swab to smear green food coloring on your teeth.

The red or green color left on the teeth will show you where there is still plaque—and where you have to brush again to remove it.

can Mint prevent stomach ache ?


Mint can help get rid of nausua, motionsickness!
I think mint calms the stomach, and so does ginger, and black licorice.

My favorite natural mint tea is actually made by a brand that you can probably find in most grocery stores that carry a lot of teas.

It’s by Traditional Medicinal, a brand that has branched out beyond it’s typical natural foods store markets.

It’s organically grown and the only ingredient in it is all natural mint leaves, which is ideal to help soothe an upset or sour stomach and help aid the digestion process.

Mint also is a green leaf food, which means it contains chlorophyll, another excellent nutrient that helps feed and nourish the body’s cells, although since it is a tea and it’s heated the effects of the chlorophyll may be diminished.
