Hi everyone,

My husband went to a naturopathic doctor to help support him through chemo. She suggested daily castor oil packs for his liver, along with some other therapies regarding nutrition. He is supposed to use a heating pad on low on top of the pack. I remember reading/hearing something about not using heating pads for tumors, and she made sure to tell him to keep it on low. Does the heat cause the tumors to grow?,

Anyone have any info about this?

Thanks,
Donna
