photopheresis

UV Light as a massive whole-body antibiotic Back when (in the days before antibiotics) there were many treatments which worked for bacterial and other infections; most have been forgotten. One almost lost technique is the use of ultra violet light irradiation of the blood to kill pathogens and even cancer cells. This is a version of what we technically call plasmapheresis or, in Europe “auto sanguis” therapy (meaning “own blood” therapy). Blood is taken outside the body, treated and then returned to the body. You can do a number of things to blood while it is outside the body that you could not do while it is inside… For example, you can expose it to ozone and so enrich it with oxygen. A high local concentration of oxygen is known to provide a hostile environment for cancer cells. Some deadly organisms, too, like the gas gangrene bacteria (Clostridium welchii), are killed by a high-oxygen environment. Even viruses succumb. But here I am describing the use of ultra-violet light to treat infections. UV is accepted as a sterilizing agent; city water supply is treated with it; indeed, you may have a UV unit fitted to your spa or pool. There is no scientific argument over its cleansing capabilities. It zaps pathogens! It’s also destructive to humans (sunburn!) but that problem is solved by focusing the UV on blood which is OUTSIDE the body. We call this ultra-violet blood irradiation or UVBI for short. It’s also sometimes known as photoluminescence. The treated blood is returned to the body, where it spreads its good message throughout the tissues. Surprisingly, only about 5% of the total blood volume needs to be treated in this way. This small proportion spreads through the entire body and works its magic, in much the same way a therapeutic drug gets everywhere. UVBI kills viruses, parasites and bacteria and was popular in the 1930s for polio and other viral infections. The reason for its use is simple enough: it works! But then it became unpopular, as it was gradually sidelined by mass vaccination programs, which were believed to work, despite evidence to the contrary. Finally, UV blood therapy fell into disrepute, except among dedicated holistic physicians. That’s a great pity because it is very safe (no side effects ever recorded, when used properly), highly effective and cheap to do. It’s so easy, as a matter of fact, that it’s probably something a lay persons, with the right equipment and proper  instructions, can administer it to themselves.
