My friend, Dr. Friedrich Douwes, director and founder of the world-famous St. Georg Klinik in Bad Aibling, told the story of the discovery of hyperthermia treatment for Lyme disease at the 2015 Berlin Hyperthermia Congress:
About 15 years ago, two US cancer patients were in the clinic for intensive whole-body hyperthermia. Both were overjoyed after the fever treatment:
“Our cancer isn’t gone, but we’re actually suffering much more from the symptoms of our chronic neuroborreliosis. These have now disappeared after the fever treatment.”
Dr. Douwes was astonished and began researching. He did, in fact, find an Austrian study (published in a Scandinavian journal, however) that showed that Borrelia are very heat-labile bacteria and can be completely eliminated by a body temperature of 41 degrees Celsius (Study 1996).
Only a few studies have tracked this temperature instability of Borrelia, e.g., 1990, 1995.
Most temperature-growth studies on Lyme disease were only conducted up to 37 degrees Celsius (e.g., 1999 USA, 1999 Czech Republic).
A search of all 240 studies (Borrelia x temperature) revealed no other usable information on the therapeutic effect of high-temperature hyperthermia on Lyme disease.
Dr. Douwes as the discoverer of Lyme disease hyperthermia
Friedrich Douwes has so far (November 2015) treated a total of 820 chronic Lyme disease patients using high-temperature whole-body hyperthermia, achieving a 67% LTT and Western blot conversion.
A TV crew from Australia accompanied a patient (a wheelchair user) and documented the process until her severe neuroborreliosis was cured. Since then, the St. Georg Clinic has been renowned in Australia as the “number one point of contact” for hyperthermia treatment of chronic neuroborreliosis.

Dr. Friedrich Douwes spoke about his 20 years of experience treating 820 cases of chronic Lyme disease using high-temperature hyperthermia at 42 degrees Celsius combined with insulin-potentiated antibiotics. Unfortunately, the organizers did not allow any questions due to time constraints.
Dr. Anwar Giryes from the renowned Swiss Seegarten Clinic demonstrated his success in treating chronic Lyme disease in approximately 30 cases. He treats with series of moderate whole-body hyperthermia.
Finally, the German physician Dr. Ortwin Zais was also able to present his practical experience from 17 hyperthermia Lyme disease treatments (series of moderate whole-body hyperthermia) to date. Here, too, there was a significant improvement in all patients and the recovery of some.
Unfortunately, hyperthermia has so far been ignored by research
As I was able to show above in my study overview, the thermolability of Borrelia was only mentioned in the Austrian 1996 study. Only Dr. Douwes was able to address this issue through a “chance discovery” and established a complex, not easily comprehensible protocol (high-temperature hyperthermia requires full anesthesia, intensive monitoring, pre- and post-treatment, and intensive anti-Herxheimer treatment) with which he can achieve overwhelming cure rates.
Lyme disease will likely continue to increase
Due to global warming, more ticks will survive the winter. In the Netherlands, one in three ticks is already infected with Lyme disease (BCA Conference 2015 in Augsburg), and the infection rate will continue to spread. Established medicine is still decades behind in terms of knowledge and usually treats acute Lyme disease (erythema migrans) completely inadequately (CAUTION: at least 6 weeks, at least 200 mg of doxycycline!).
The truly severe cases – like those in Australia or the USA – are not yet seen in Austria.
