1. Detoxification Using Hyperthermic
Therapy Through The Centuries
Methods to induce sweating have been used for centuries by many cultures
to bring about improved health and relief from disease. Over 2000 years
ago, the famous Greek physician Parmenides stated "give
me a chance to create a fever, and I will cure any disease." This
traditional wisdom has certainly stood the test of time. Using various
methods ranging from hydrotherapy (hot mineral baths), to sweat lodges,
to saunas and steam baths, individuals have enjoyed the revitalizing
effects of induced hyperthermia (artificially elevating body temperature).
Only in recent years has science begun to seriously examine this age
old healing technique. Organizations such as the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency have now taken a serious look at hyperthermic therapy as a means
to detoxify individuals who are ill from exposure to environmental poisons
and several good research papers have now been published. (Alkalize
