Saturday I got my first tests and Vitamin C and B intravenous. They have to make sure that my heart, lungs and kidneys can take the whole body hyperthermia treatment which is scheduled for Wednesday. They put me in a chamber and heat my core body temperature up to 41 degrees C (normal body temperature is 37 C). Apparently doctors noticed time and again that people who had high fevers were often cured of cancer so they are duplicating a high fever. Cancer cells can not survive this temperature because they have poor blood supply but normal cells can. They hold my body at this temperature for one hour and apparently the body can not stand this temperature so they put me under anesthetic. This is the whole reason that I came to this clinic as they do not do this procedure in the US or Canada. In fact there are people from all over the world here for this treatment.

Dec 9 - We fly 10.5 hours from Vancouver to Calgary to Frankfurt and are picked up at the airport and driven to Dr. Herzog’s clinic in Bad Salzhausen. (Salt house)

Dec 7 – Before I get in the car to drive to Vancouver I phone my doctor to get my latest PSA number. I am very hopeful that with my month or so of vegan eating and  with all of my focus on herbs and vitamins that my PSA will have gone down from its climb to 51. Unfortunately it is now 74. Okay fine I am off to Vancouver. An uneventful and wonderful drive in my new vehicle – a 1997 Toyota 4Runner (with a sunroof – I have always wanted a sunroof.)

Dec 1 – 6 – I am arranging by Skype phone and email a trip to Germany for a whole body hyperthermia treatment and make arrangements to fly with my older daughter Ilana on Dec 9th for 10 days.
