Re: Fever therapy

This is really interesting given the LIFT idea. It appears that an infection/temp may 'wake up' the natural white cells to recognise cancer cells, an ability which they appear to have lost.
Many years ago I attended a lecture by a visiting American onc who speculated that people who developed cancer had immune systems that had gone 'soft' ie not challenged by infection due to cleanliness, antibiotics etc. He was ridiculed and discredited for this hypothesis. Somehow I feel he was on the right track!!
