Bumping up the temps and such was probably enough for him to fight the infection down. But the issue is also that it may have allievated the symptoms, but not eliminated the virus. So he'll rally for a while, then come down with it again. But having knocked the symptoms down means you won't notice until it's worse.

He could have thrown the virus off himself, and be fine. But it's common for snakes to look better then go downhill again, because there was nothing that killed the actual cause. It's sort of like draining the infection from a embedded splinter. It feels better and looks more healed up. But unless you remove the splinter, the underlying cause is still inside and may indeed flare up again and again.

Good luck with him and I'd definitely watch him closely and I hope for your other animals' sake that you have him in a quarentine area.
I've been reading some other testimonials and some are quite interesting. I found someone on youtube who uses it to fight off his Hepatitis C. Which as you may know is incurable. And its not really all B/S. There's some interesting information if you search for it. I'm not saying it's definitely gone, but for him to get that much better in that amount of time from heat and humidity? I highly doubt that. I'm on these forums a lot and I don't see many cases like that. In fact I don't think I ever read one. To go from blowing snot bubbles the size of tennis balls, to normal breathing in one month? Show me some proof of that and maybe I will believe you. I've heard of people doing it, but it taking months(like4-6 months). Again, there is no way of knowing for sure, but it's awful strange in how fast it cleared up.
