Might just be a load of nonsense, but a fascinating possibility
I enjoyed an article from The American Scientist, Healing Heat: Harnessing Infection to Fight Cancer. It discusses how infections that cause fevers as well as their antigens may cause the body to turn off its normal protections against attacking its own cells, thereby allowing the immune system extensive freedom to battle tumors and cancer. Although very dangerous at times, because to be effective it has to cause a high fever, this may be an effective method for patients suffering from inoperable cancers.
