Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a treatment apparatus for treating cancer and AIDS by placing small animals such as humans and cats in warm water stored in a water tank.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is known that cancer cells and AIDS virus are weak to heat and generally die at a temperature of 42.5 degrees.

A method currently used as a heat treatment method is to raise the temperature of an affected part by applying high frequency waves directly to the affected part, or by arranging a magnetic body near the affected part and causing the magnetic body to generate heat by induction heating. Things.

[0004] Such prior art is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-47517.
No. 6,086,045.

[0005] The above-mentioned prior art is effective in that the treatment is performed by directly raising the temperature of the affected part, so that when the affected part can be identified, the treatment can be carried out visually while the treatment is effective. Even the treatment by induction heating cannot treat the metastatic site.

On the other hand, the so-called hyperthermia treatment, in which a treatment body is placed in warm water at a predetermined temperature and the whole body is maintained at 42.5 degrees for a predetermined time, is not only a diseased part that progresses rapidly but also metastatic cancer cells and blood vessels that cannot be seen. It is also excellent in that it also kills the AIDS virus near the end and increases the therapeutic effect.

[0007] From such a viewpoint, the applicant stores hot water in a water tank, draws the hot water out of the water tank by a pump, heats it to 42.5 degrees by a heater, and then circulates the hot water in the water tank with a heater. We proposed a technology that circulates between the road and always maintains 42.5 degrees.

[0008]

The hot water stored in the aquarium is in direct contact with the skin of the human being who is to be treated. Therefore, it is an absolute condition that the hot water is fresh and free from pathogens and scales. Is designed to drain water in the water tank and circulation circuit, but it is impossible to drain all water in the pipeline.

For this reason, if the next treatment is not performed for a long time after the previous treatment is completed, the outside temperature is high as in summer even if the period until the next treatment is short, If waste products such as fat from the skin remain in the ducts, the bacteria may multiply and enter the hot water at the next treatment.

Bacteria and scales mixed in the warm water are unsanitary because they adhere to the skin of the treated body or emit a bad smell.

In particular, during treatment, the body is in a non-invasive state in which the human physiological response is stopped, and there is a danger of developing an infectious disease, etc., even after the treatment, because the resistance is relatively weak.

According to the present invention, warm water to be treated is cleaned by washing out water and impurities remaining in the heating circulator.

[0013]
