A question from a layman: Could changing body's temperature by a few percent, for a small amount of time, be used to heal from some diseases, like cancer or diabetes?
Some diseases, yes; people do this all the time and it is called "running a fever". Fevers are not induced by the disease; they are a strategy you use to kill the disease.
Cancer or diabetes, no. Diabetes is not even a "disease" in the sense of an organism that can be alive or dead.
