Hyperthermia Therapy

Hyperthermia is commonbly known as heat stroke. Basically it is when you body sweats so much that it has no fluids left to support itself. A controlled hyperthermia is used sometimes to treat illnesses. The patient sits in a sauna and "sweats away the bad things that are inside their body" and then is returned to bed and pumped full of fluids. This is sometimes used to treat cancer. This link shows how that can be done.
