Market and Revenue Projections for Treating Cancers with Hyperthermia
Approximately 500,000 persons die annually in the US due to cancer. Three times that number die in affluent societies outside US. Hyperthermia treatment warrants compensations at least similar to heart bypass surgeries or to bone marrow transplant procedures, costing between $40,000 and $100,000. It is reasonable to price the Hyperthermia treatment at $60,000. Assuming only 33% of persons dying of cancer in affluent societies (500,000 people) seek Hyperthermia treatment, the annual revenue will be thirty billion dollars. ($30,000,000,000)
Market and Revenue Projection for Treating Viral Diseases
In the US alone, there are more than two million people with HIV infection. Including all the affluent societies in the world, more than five million people have the same infection. Tens of millions of people are infected with Hepatitis B and C that are otherwise incurable. Every year, tens of thousands of people die in the US from the flu. Around the world, as the recent SARS epidemic reminded us, influenza has the potential of killing hundreds of thousands of people every year.
Assuming 300,000 seek the Hyperthermia and Anti-Viral Combination treatment, annual revenue of eighteen billion dollars. ($18,000,000,000)
Market and Revenue Projection for Cool-Head hypothermia Device
• In the US over 1.5 million patients suffer head trauma or anoxic brain injury. Every unconscious patient presenting to the emergency room or trauma center optimally require brain cooling and monitoring to increase chance of recovery. Global market is at least twice the size of the US market.
• Priced at $2,000 per patient, assuming only 50% of the eligible 1.5 million unconscious patients get the brain-cooling treatment offered by Cool-Head Device, the annual revenue in the US alone is $1,500,000,000.
Market and Revenue Projection for Advanced Ultra-Violet Germicidal Device
• Hospital-acquired infection costs the hospitals in the US an average of $90,000 per case. There are over 3,500 healthcare facilities with over 150,000 cases of serious hospital-acquired infections. Global market is at least twice that of US market.
• Priced at $3,000 per device monthly rental rate, with over 35,000 facilities in the US and additional 10,000 facilities outside the U.S. requiring infection control offered by the Advanced UVG Device, at 4 devices per facility, the annual rental revenue is $500,000,000.
Market and Revenue Projection for OASIS protocol (Opiate Addiction Safely and Instantly Stopped)
In the US, 40,000 Americans die from opiate overdose per year. Currently Las Vegas Rapid Detox Medical Clinic, owned by Hypermed, Inc, charges $15,000 per procedure and performs 100 cases per year.
Assuming 20,000 cases performed per year, under license to Hypermed, at a licensing fee of $5,000 per case, the annual revenue is projected to be $100,000,000.

“Method and device for central nervous system protection during whole body hyperthermia or hypothermia”
View patent at: http://www.google.com/patents?id=Co4NAAAAEBAJ&dq=6669661
Background of the Invention The normal body temperature in a human
ranges between 36.1.degree C. and 37.2.degree C. An increase in body temperature is a normal response to a bacterial or viral infection.
Cancer cells, HIV, and hepatitis virus cannot survive extreme temperatures.
To take advantage of this susceptibility to temperature extremes, it is a well accepted medical practice to induce single limb hyperthermia to treat cancer isolated in limbs.
Whole Body Hyperthermia can cause serious side effects such as increased acidity in the blood and neurological damage.
Purpose of the Invention as Applied to Hypothermia (project 2)
Sometimes it is desirable to intentionally induce hypothermia for treatment purposes. For example, during cardiac surgery, the body temperature may be reduced to between 18 degrees. C. and 20 degrees. C. to allow complete circulatory arrest. However, so far, hypothermia is usually limited to less than sixty minutes to prevent neurological damage.
Hypothermia with appropriate neurological protection, as in this patented invention, may provide safe hibernation preservation of humans
Application of the Patented Invention
Therefore there is a need for a method and device for raising the body temperature above 45 degree C or lowering the body temperature below 20 degree C for extended periods of time to allow medical treatment without risking neurological damage.
Patent Abstract A method and device for intentionally inducing whole-body
hyperthermia or hypothermia in a patient for medical treatment while protecting the central nervous system from damage
A tub for immersing the patient's body in a solution with a temperature greater than or less than normal body temperature to thereby increase or decrease the patient's body temperature.
The patient's cerebral spinal fluid is circulated and maintained at temperatures less drastically altered from normal temperatures by a pump and a heater and cooler connected to the patient's spine through catheters.
The patient's central nervous system blood is separated from
the rest of the circulatory system and circulated and maintained at temperatures less drastically altered from normal temperatures by pumps and a heater and cooler. The remaining blood in the patient's body is circulated and temperature controlled through pumps and a heater and cooler.

• The effects of both radiotherapy and many drugs are enhanced at an increased temperature
• These findings justify using hyperthermia as part of standard treatment in tumor sites for which its efficacy has been proven and, furthermore, to initiate new studies with other tumors. Hyperthermia is certainly a promising approach and deserves more attention than it has received until now.
