Hyperthermia as a cancer treatment (also called thermal therapy) refers to the use of high temperatures to treat the disease. It may be used alone or in combination with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy or other treatments, and can be delivered locally, regionally, or to the whole body depending on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.

The logic behind its use is that in hyperthermia, the heat increases blood flow to the tumour which does three things; it brings more chemotherapy inside the tumour, it brings oxygen that helps radiation therapy work better, and it induces body’s immune system to attack the cancer

There were evidence on adjunct use of hyperthermia with either chemotherapy, radiotherapy or both. The combination of hyperthermia with these standard cancer treatments resulted in higher (complete) response rates, accompanied by improved local tumour control rates, better palliative effects, and/or better overall survival rates in many phase II/III clinical trials for many different types of tumours including head and neck, breast, bone, cervix, lung, liver, bile duct, melanoma and sarcoma.

5 foods to boost melatonin and improve sleep quality:

1. Tart cherries contain melatonin and tryptophan, which turns into serotonin and then melatonin. Research has shown that tart cherry consumption increases sleep for some people by 84 minutes!

2. Kiwis contain serotonin, a precursor to melatonin. One study found that people who consumed 2 kiwis per day for 4 weeks had a significant improvement in quality of sleep, length of sleep, the time it takes to fall asleep, and the feeling of being refreshed upon waking.

3. Fatty fish like salmon, tuna, and trout boost melatonin.

4. Kefir is similar to yogurt but has even more microbes. Try blending it with berries, which are rich in polyphenols for better sleep.

5. Sauerkraut contains microbes and tryptophan to help improve your sleep. Cabbage also increases the neurotransmitter GABA, which helps calm you down.
