 AB    Artificially induced thermal intermittence using thermogenic agents was
       utilized to treat AIDS patients in an attempt to make an analogy with
       the sterilization process by tyndallization employed in laboratories. It
       is known that micro-organisms are more sensitive to discontinuous than
       to constant heat. The author believes that the AIDS virus may be either
       destroyed or weakened using this method which may also provoke an immune
       stimulus over the body's system of defense, especially over the bone
       marrow, with the consequent increase of the indexes of lymphocins,
       opsonins and hematogenesis.
