Oncothermia EHY-2000
Oncothermia
Oncothermia is a modulated-electro-hyperthermia device for oncological use. This treatment method is used against different types of solid tumors. The principles are based on the classical method of Hyperthermia. Hyperthermia is defined as a greatly increased temperature in the body.
Oncothermia increases the body temperature in a specific local region of the body. In addition to the increase in temperature, the direct electric-field energy absorption in the extracellular liquid destroys the membrane of the cancer cells. The method transfers energy using the principle of capacitive coupling (like a condenser) of radio waves of 13.56 MHz. It utilizes the special absorption rate of the near-membrane extracellular liquid of the tumour. The tumor tissue has lower impedance than the surrounding tissues, so most of the energy is absorbed by the cancerous lesion. This energy destabilizes the cancer cell membrane which in turn causes tumour cell death.
In general, oncothermia is not used as a sole therapy. Usually it is combined with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or other therapies and their combination.
What to expect?
Oncothermia is a safe, non-invasive and very easy to use treatment modality for most solid tumour cancers. Most treatments are one hour in length, although the treatments are individually tailored to each patients circumstances and is determined by a variety of individual factors. The electrode will be placed directly on the skin. The treatment itself is generally painless, although some discomfort/redness may be felt on the skin at times during treatment. Adjustments will be made to reduce or eliminate discomfort if needed.
Side effects are generally minimal with most people only reporting mild fatigue after treatments.

Mistletoe Therapy
What it is
Mistletoe is a medicinal plant that has been used for centuries. In ancient times mistletoe was often used to treat wounds, ulcers and diseases of the spleen. Mistletoe is at the heart of complementary cancer therapy due to its well studied modes of action on the human body. Complementary measures do not aim to replace standard therapies, but rather to reduce their side effects and to improve the patient’s quality of life.
How it works
Mistletoe shows several modes of action.
1) boosts the immune system by activating and multiplying the immune cells.
2) induces apoptosis (natural cell death) in tumour cells which inhibits tumour growth
3) immune cells and normal healthy cells are protected against further injury.
4) Anti-angiogenisis function
5) Decrease side effects of conventional therapies (chemo and radiation therapy).
Benefits of Mistletoe therapy
Patients report that mistletoe therapy significantly improves their quality of life. For example:
• Improved general well-being
• Less fatigue, especially during and after chemotherapy
• Less nausea
• Improved appetite
• Less pain sensation, so fewer painkillers and sedatives are needed
• Less frequent depressive moods
