"...Coley found a sarcoma case study of one patient named Fred Stein, whose tumor disappeared following a high fever from erysipelas infection, now known as Streptococcus pyogenes.[2] This sparked Coley’s interest and drove him to find what few examples of similar cancer treatment had been previously recorded. He discovered that other medical pioneers including Robert Koch, Louis Pasteur, and Emil von Behring, had recorded observations of erysipelas infection coinciding with cancer regression.
Coley’s first intentional erysipelas infection was performed on a patient named Mr. Zola on May 3, 1891, who had tonsil and throat cancer. Mr. Zola came down with erysipelas and his condition improved tremendously. Mr. Zola lived for another eight and a half years.[2][2]
Coley was convinced that he could effectively use bacteria to treat cancer and created a mixture of killed bacterial infusions called Coley’s Toxins. The infusion was administered by injection in increasing doses to induce a fever. Once stimulated, he observed, the immune system could be capable of tackling cancerous cells along with the infection. [2] The cancerous cells would then slough off.
The infusions of killed bacteria are now known as Coley's Toxins....
On January 24, 1893, the first patient to receive Coley Vaccine was John Ficken, a sixteen-year-old boy with a massive abdominal tumor. Every few days, Coley injected his vaccine directly into the tumor mass and produced the symptoms of an infectious disease, but did not produce the disease itself. On each injection, there was a dramatic rise in body temperature and chills. The tumour gradually diminished in size. By May 1893, after four months of intensive treatment, the tumour was a fifth its original size. By August, the remains of the growth were barely perceptible.[2]
The boy received no further anticancer treatment and remained in good health until he died of a heart attack 26 years later. Coley published his results and by the turn of the century 42 physicians from Europe and North America had reported cases of cancer that had been successfully treated with Coley Vaccine."
Notice these words -
"high fever "
"induce a fever"
"dramatic rise in body temperature "
We can be certain about two things - 1) spontaneous regression of cancer does occur and tends to coincide with infection+fever. As the japanese author put it, "There have been numerous reports where cancer has been cured after a high fever. In addition, 1/3 of those whose cancer was naturally cured showed high fever symptoms." Of course, he conveniently omitted the fact that these were all serious infections (which interact heavily with body's immune), not just pure artificially/mechanically induced fevers; 2) Dr. Coley and his followers cured cancer patients with his method of induced infection symptoms (immune stimulation) and induced fever, somehow without the danger of a live infection (by using dead bacteria).
Now you tell me, was it immune stimulation, or the feverish body temperature spike, or both, that are responsible for these cancer cures? I think Dr. Coley probably would point to immune, while Dr. japan may want us to believe that temperature alone can do the trick.
Hyperthermia, or heating the cancer patients, has been researched for many decades. Whether it is due to technical difficulty or theoretical defect, it is not ready for prime time yet. I doubt it will ever be because it is both theoretically and practically very flawed,
