All therapy programmes will be developed by ourexperienced medical director and his deputiesto make use of positive synergisms for boosting impacts.In a holistic integrative concept advantages of modern medicine,experience and naturopathy are multiplexed to improve theprognosis of chronically ill and tumour patients.5

Whom do we treat?We principally treatconcomitantly:Chronic, exhausted and tumour patients,even multimorbid as well as bedfast patients.There are NO untreatable patients! P atients also concomitant for better compatibility with conventional therapeutic procedures,as chemo-, radiation therapy and operations.But also for the prevention or deceleration ofimpending deterioration of quality of life throughCFS (chronic fatigue syndrome). Patients with Burn-out-Syndrome. 6All carcinomas with and without metastasesLoss of power and state of exhaustionStress syndromeMetabolic diseasesCirculation disordersMigraine, dizziness, tinnitus, hearing lossJoint-, muscle- and sceletal ailmentsFibromyalgiaPsoriasis, Colitis ulcerosa,Morbus Crohn, Asthma

International hyperthermia centreHyperthermia is applied complementary to the presently deployed tumour therapies,surgery, chemo-, hormone and radiation therapy, to reinforce the treatment effects.7

sCMTThe systemic Cancer Multistep Therapy is a specialdesigned form of the extreme whole-body hyperthermia. Even though this form of hyperthermianeeds intensive care, it is poor in side effects. By adelicate combination of overheating, overacidification with increased blood sugar levels and oxygenoverflow a very specific sensitization of maligntumour cells is achieved.So their accelerated death is facilitated and thetumour cell itself rendered susceptible for radiation-, chemotherapy and hyperthermia itself. Thisapplication is not given the necessary attention, asa special method which is based on decades of research and findings, especially in metastasizing andconventionally uncontrollable tumour progressionand for the prevention of those, also helpful preand postsurgical. Our hyperthermia centre is glad torely on the special expertise of our medical director,who lastly headed the Von-Ardenne-Klinik for sCMT.The theses of Nobel price winner Prof. Warburg,known now for over 80 years, as well as the studious research of Prof. von Ardenne enabled thisspecial therapy, which is applied worldwide only atspecific centres. In the year 2006 all controversiesconcerning this topic were cleared by science.HeathealA High Level Whole Body Hyperthermia procedure,developed by Russian scientists with support fromthe famous scientist Prof. Dr. Yatwin, enables corebody temperature to be raised to 43.5 – 44 C in awater bath within a relatively short period (15 – 208

minutes). The procedure has been in clinical application since 1989, and, since then, has amply demonstrated its effectiveness and safety in the treatmentof cancer, as well as that of HIV, Tuberculosis and anumber of viral and immune system diseases.Heatheal in Cancer TreatmentAs an adjunct oncological treatment, Heatheal booststhe effectiveness of chemotherapies and radiationtherapies, enabling a substantial reduction in theirdoses, and thus in their adverse effects. And on itsown, Heatheal stimulates the body‘s own immunesystem and induces malignant cell death (necrosis).Heatheal in HIV TreatmentSo far over 600 HIV patients have been successfully treated with Heatheal. In a recently concludedclinical trial, 30 patients were each administered 4Heatheal procedures over a period of 270 days. Allpatients were fully naive and did not receive anyother medical nor pharmacological treatment duringthe trial period. In all 30 patients viral load droppedsignificantly (average 1.76 logs) and their immunesystem competency (CD4 count) increased by anaverage of 45 % over their starting levels. Theseresults remained for less than 9 months. In somepatients viral load remained at its reduced level forfurther 3 years, without the administration of anyother treatment whatsoever.MHTThe moderate whole-body hyperthermia is a mildform of hyperthermia, which can be applied without9

adverse effects even ambulatory and to treatchronic disorders. During the medical preliminaryexamination the optimal modalities of the therapy will be determined for your disease. During thetreatment you will rest undressed on a tightenedsmall meshed net and covered – except the head –with a sheet and reflexion foil. The heat radiationoccurs from the bottom through the net. During thetherapy body- and skin temperature as well as pulseand blood pressure are monitored. The mild warmingoccurs over a period of 60 – 120 minutes. The aimedtemperature level ranges from 38,5 C up to thecore temperature of 40 C, if the clinical picturesmake this necessary. Our medical staff observes theincrease in temperature and controls the adequateheater activity. By the warming phase a half-hourlyrest follows after which you have the possibility totake a shower.RHTThe regional radiowave-deep hyperthermia (RHT)is administered in nearly all hyperthermia centresbased on electrohyperthermia with the OncoThermunit or the system of Celsius 42. The therapy targetsindividual body areas is generally free of side effectsand can be applied ambulatory. The heating of thetumour tissue up to 44 C partially also warms theadjoining healthy tissue. But the healthy tissuecan deviate the heat easily by increasing the bloodcirculation whereas the tumour tissue does not havethis ability due to its primitive blood supply. Thisleads to a heat accumulation in the tumour tissuethat results in an undersupply of the tumour cellwith oxygen and nutrient. The resulting dysfunction10

of important metabolic processes during cell division and conservation as well as the reduction ofthe pH-value have the effect of an acid intoxicationin the tumour. The thermal damage also leads to afailure of important vital repairing functions of thetumour cells. Hence, damaged cell parts can notbe replaced (cell membrane and proteins), this canfinally lead to a die off of the tumour cell.LITTThe laser-induced interstitial thermotherapydestroys soft tissue tumours with a laser beam.At temperatures of up to 110ºC this method isapplied mainly on liver metastases/-tumours.TUMTThe prostate hyperthermia uses a harmless microwave catheter. Concerning potency und continencethe risks are clearly less than with other methods.The transurethral microwave thermotherapy(through the urethra) is favourably applied forprostate carcinomas, benign prostate hyperplasiaand prostitis (BSD-50-mashine).IPHTThe intraperitoneal hyperthermia (IPHT) is ahyperthermal rinsing of the peritoneal cavity (alsoapplied in bladder carcinomas as so called intravesical hyperthermia), in which generally no severeadverse effects occur and which may be combinedwith chemotherapy.11
