UltraViolet Blood Therapy
This therapy is also known as Photoluminescence, Photo-oxidation Therapy, Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI), Hematogenous Oxygenation Therapy (HOT), and Extracorporeal Photophoresis. It has been shown to:
- Energize or enhance the biochemical and physiological defenses of the body by the introduction of ultraviolet energy into the blood stream
- Stabilization of White Blood Cells.
- Increase cell membrane permeability, which enhances the body's ability to produce antibodies and marks pathogenic microorganisms for destruction by your immune system.
- By degrading bacteria and viruses, it stimulates an immune response in our bodies, thereby creating what can be called as a “self-vaccination”.
- Rapidly detoxify and relieves toxemia.
- Helps the liver rid itself of fats.
- Increase blood oxygen levels, which has beneficial effects in the organism as it creates an environment in which yeasts, fungi, and cáncer cells can not proliferate.
According to the Foundation For Blood Irradiation, Inc, BET has been found useful in treating:
Viral Infections
- HIV/AIDS
- Poliomyelitis , polio-encephalitis, myelitis
- Hepatitis
- Influenza
- Common upper respiratory disease
- Herpes simplex, Herpes zoster, Mononucleosis,Mumps, Measles
Bacterial Infections
- Pneumonia
- Septicemia (Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Pneumococcus)
- Wound Infections, lymphatic infections (lymphangitis)
- Peritonitis
- Typhoid Fever
- Recurrent skin infections (furunculosis, carbunculosis)
Inflammatory Conditions
- Acute thrombophlebitis, fibrositis, bursitis, nephritis, iritis, uveitis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
Circulation Conditions
- Varicose and diabetic ulcers
- Peripheral vascular disease
- Gangrene
- Vascular headaches
Several papers on ultraviolet blood therapy have been reported in medical journals and before medical groups.
The Process
A vein, usually in the arm, is canalized and 40-60cc of blood are collected. Blood is immediately transferred and diluted in a saline solution, which is then passed thru a sterile tubing into the UV light machine and on to the patient via the same vein that was canalized initially.
The treatment usually requires 30-45 minutes.
Adverse Reactions
Over the many years and thousands of patients treated with this technique, it has not been documented a single adverse reaction attributable to the therapy itself.
Reactions can occur with certain medications such as sulfa drugs (used for antibacterial, insulin resistance, diabetes, etc) However, it was found that sulfa drugs could be safely given before UVBI but had to be stopped for at least 4 days after the last UV treatment was given.
Iodide drugs can also be a problem, especially if given intravenously.
Some report that psychotropic medications (pain pills, anxiety and depression pills) should be used with caution as UVBI may increase their effect.
Reactions due to death of a large number of bacteria (Herxheimer's Reaction) frequently occur in the first twenty four hours following UVBI. Characterized by chill, rise in temperature, and a temporary increase in generalized toxic symptoms usually followed in a few hours by a resolution of all untoward symptoms. This "die-off" reaction is usually similar to "flu-like" symptoms of headache, achiness, tiredness, and just "not feeling well" and usually lasts only several days. This "die-off" reaction can, however, occur with any type of treatment including antibiotics.
Exacerbations in chronic diseases was reported by Dr. Miley that in approximately 50% of individuals with bronchial asthma, nasal sinusitis and chronic rheumatic disease (also in acute rheumatic disease), there appears for the first four to five days following initial UVBI an aggravation of the pre-existing symptoms which is usually no more severe than any previous severe exacerbation. This is especially true following the first application of UVBI, much less likely to occur after a second UVBI, and rarely after third.
