Abstract : We investigated the effectiveness of thermotherapy (heat stimulation) , which has recently attracted attention as a method of cancer therapy with immunostimulating effects upon the defense mechanism of the human body. Heat stimulation was performed in 6 subjects for 30 minutes using a far-infrared heater. Blood samples were obtained from the forearm before irradiation (control) and 48 and 96 hours after irradiation, and hematological , biochemical, and immunological examinations were performed. We found that the heat stimulation with Smarty irradiation acted as a stressor that activated self-defense function by affecting the T-cell content and cytokine production .
