Autoimmune Disorders Fever Therapy

Autoimmune disorders arise from an overactive immune response occurs when the ones immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body cells. Some of the more than 80 autoimmune disorders diseases are Celiac disease, Crohn's disease,  and Ulcerative colitis (GI tract), lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Fever therapy or treatments can be used effectively against autoimmune diseases. This works by increasing artificially the body temperature resulting in the increase of phagocytic action and normalisation of the body's immune system. This helps the body to rid itself  of foreign bodies such as toxins and viruses that may be causing the autoimmune disease.

How the Autoimmune Disorders Fever Therapy  Is Administered

The goal of the fever therapy or treatment is to increase the oral temperature to 101 to 103 degrees F, so that profuse sweating may occur. If the disease is due to a virus, the higher temperatures promote the phagocytic activity of the white blood cells, improve the defense mechanisms, and stimulate the immune system to normal function. If the disease is due to a toxin the treatment will assist in its removal through the process of sweating, phagocytosis, and increased urine production.
