Supposedly the heat either weakens the viruses or bolsters the body's immune system (as a fever does) or both. I have heard the customary story that it is being kept out of the USA by the FDA or the medical establishment or some such conservative conspiracy. There are more quacks around these days than you can shake a caduceus at, from Iridologists to Reflexologists, and I am suspicious of new "cures", but, as everyone knows, "if you read it on the net, it must be so", so does anyone know about this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alan Filipski, UNIX group, Motorola Microsystems, Tempe, AZ U.S.A 85282 {seismo|ihnp4}!ut-sally!oakhill!mot!al | ucbvax!arizona!asuvax!mot!al ------------------------------------------------------------------------
