The invention relates generally to methods of treating cancer and other diseases by modulating body temperature. Heat may directed to the hypothalamus of a warm-blooded animal to cool the animal, utilizing the physiological mechanisms that regulate body temperature to effect a compensatory cooling response, thereby lowering body temperature (hypothermia), and rendering other methods of lowering body temperature more effective. Heat may be withdrawn from the hypothalamus of an animal, cooling the hypothalamus, inducing a compensatory increase in body temperature (hyperthermia), and rendering other methods of raising body temperature more effective. Body temperature may be directly modulated by heat-exchange catheter positioned within a blood vessel of a patient. The invention relates generally to methods of treating cancer by inducing hypothermia by directing heat to the hypothalamus, optionally maintaining cancerous tissue at or near to normal body temperature, and optionally applying another cancer treatment. This other cancer treatment may be radiation therapy, chemotherapy, a combination of radiation and chemotherapy, or some other cancer treatment. The invention relates generally to methods of treating diseases including cancer, viral infections, and other diseases, comprising inducing hyperthermia by cooling the hypothalamus, and optionally applying another treatment, for example radiation, chemotherapy, antiviral therapy, or a combination of therapies.

The present invention is a water-absorbent animal cooling vest made with an inner core of woven, hydrophilic/hydrophobic polymer embedded fabrics (PEF) enclosed inside two exterior (a wicking fabric inside to the body and a breathable fabric outside to the air) fabric shells attached to the animal by criss-crossing two double-ended, elastic and adjustable hook straps over the rear of the animal's neck, which straps are then attached to sewn-on loops on the upper and lower parts of the vest. The vest is soaked in approximately 3-16 ounces of water (depending on the size of the vest and the size of the animal for which is to be used) for 3-15 minutes (again depending on size of vest) before use, thus allowing the inner core to absorb the water. This process begins the vest's evaporative process. The internal core fibers of the vest absorb many times its weight in water. Excess water is wrung out of the vest prior to installation. The cooling evaporative process lasts for several hours based on ambient temperature, activity and level of exertion of the animal. The purpose of the vest is to promote absorption of moisture and body heat from the animal into the vest and enhance the natural evaporative cooling process to reduce body temperature and heat stress, which can lead to heat stroke, a significant cause of death for equines and other four-legged domestic animals. The animal cooling vest may be reactivated by simply re-immersing in water for a short period and reinstalling. The animal cooling vest may be machine washed and dried and is re-useable. Due to the flexible characteristics of the fabric materials comprising the vest and the method of strapping the vest to the animal, the vest shapes closely to the animal's body for maximum direct contact to the critical chest area of the body while allowing complete freedom of movement.
