How “hyperthermia” Can Cure Aids

Chuck DeMarco participated in a hyperthermia treatment program at the University of Rome in 1991. He is now in complete remission.

“I was diagnosed with HIV in 1988, and slowly became sick. In the mid-1989 I collapsed at work and was taken to the hospital, where I was found to have high titers for cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus and the beginnings of other infections, such as Kaposi’s sarcoma lesions in my throat and my legs, and herpes on my lungs. That summer I developed a cough and eventually was coughing up blood. I lost more than 30 pounds and became weaker and weaker until I had absolutely no energy left.

“Even so, I decided not to take antiretroviral drugs. Many of my friends who took these drugs got well for only a short period of time and then got sick again and died. I didn’t want to put more poison into my body. I also believed that AIDS was a very personal disease that affected each person differently, so I decided to look at more holistic approaches. Several of the therapies I tried however, did not show any promise for me.

“I discussed various options with my radiation therapist, and he told me of a doctor in Atlanta[Dr Kenneth Alonzo] who used a treatment called total-body hyperthermia on a patient[Carl Crawford] who had been given about six weeks to live. The patient had extreme Kaposi’s sarcoma lesions – both internally and externally – and was so weak he could no longer defecate. _”He was the first person to undergo this treatment for AIDS”, and [as of July 1993] he has been in complete remission for 44 months.

“I researched the topic and found that hyperthermia has been used around the world for 4,500 years, but only one or two people had used it to treat HIV or AIDS. I also learned that a few people had died from the procedure, but all who used it were end-stage patients,[with weak hearts] meaning the medical community had given them less than 12 months – and, in some cases, only weeks – to live.

“I met with the Atlanta doctor, who told me that a hospital at the University of Rome planned to test hyperthermia on a trial basis. After a month long battery of tests, I left for Rome in March 1991. There I underwent a procedure called extra-corporeal low-flow hyperthermia, in which my blood was removed from my body and heated to 108 degrees Fahrenheit. The hot blood was then returned to my body, where it would raise my core temperature known to damage and kill the HIV virus – in just over an hour.

“During the procedure I was under a general anesthesia and attached to a heart monitor. The blood temperature is raised to about 120 degrees Fahrenheit to kill the active virus there, but the brain and other organs also are monitored to ensure that the whole body temperature reaches 108 degrees. Research shows that 90 percent of viruses are in the cells and lymphatic system. So by bringing the core temperature up, they get more of the virus, but still not all.

“When the treatment ended, the first thing I noticed was that the terrible cough I’d had for the three previous years completely disappeared. I had so much energy that I was up and walking around Rome that afternoon. I spent ten days vacationing in Italy.

“This is another Reason that Aids is not a death sentence.There are lots of True stories like this one.People that took matters into there own hands. Went against the Grain of mainstream and Saved there own lifes.

Be open minded. Ask questions,get involved.

You will be surprised at what you can find out.
