Application of heat lifts immunological performance.
Oxygen Multistep Therapy documented an increase in oral body temperator to 40 degrees C, increases leukocyte count by 17% +- 7%. See page 224 of Oxygen Multistep Therapy, Sauna Procedure
Note that a temperature of 104F, or 40C, is very high and may be above the tolerance for many indivduals. Modest increases in body temperature are very helpful, and repeated application often result in increases in tolerance.
Availability of at-home hyperthermia devices, IR Saunas, and whole body heating pads, enables daily therapeutic use, and lowers stress of hyperthermic immune enhancement. Daily use enables incremental and repeated therapy for cumulative benefit. |
