Photo-Oxidation therapy is also known as Photoluminescence, Ultraviolet Blood
Irradiation (UVB), and Extracorporeal Photophoresis. A photo-oxidation
treatment
consists of the insertion of a needle into a vein and the withdrawal of 60
or more cc's of blood that is passed through tubing where it is exposed to
an ultraviolet light briefly. The treated blood is then directly returned
to the patient's bloodstream. The only discomfort is during the insertion
of the needle and is minimal. The effects are long lasting and there is an
absence of harmful side effects. The simple treatments are easily combined
with other medical procedures and are economical, dependable and gentle for
the patient.
Photo-Oxidation therapy is a biological healing modality utilizing ultraviolet
irradiation of the blood to produce the following beneficial photochemical
reactions:

History:
Photo-Oxidation therapy was first administered to humans in
1928 in Germany when a woman dying of sepsis (a usually fatal bacterial infection
of the blood) was cured in two days. Currently, when use and over-use of
antibiotics has produced super-strains of bacteria resistant to more and
more powerful (toxic) antibiotics, and new mutated strains of viruses are
being identified every decade, Photo-Oxidation is needed more than ever.
Medical research from American and German sources provides dozens of references
on Photo-Oxidation Those interested in further information can read Into
The Light by William Campbell Douglas, Second Opinion Publishing, Inc, 1993
for original references.
Treatment for infections of all types:
(Bacterial, viral, fungal, protozoa) toxic conditions
of all types--snake bites or organic poisoning, injuries, wound healing,
venous stasis ulcers, Raynaud's disease, migraine, acute flare ups of arthritic
joints, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis pain, diabetic retinopathy, macular
degeneration, asthma, acne, herpes zoster, psoriasis, chronic intestinal
inflammation, occlusion of arteries (including stroke), thrombosis or increase
in blood coagulability thrombophlebitis, general detoxification.
Biological effects:
Increase in: arterial and venous oxygenation
on, blood pH, lymphocytes, electrical charge on the red blood cell, of
bacteriocidal capacity of the blood, hemoglobin, white blood cell count,
lymphocytes, phagocytosis ability; Reduction of: cholesterol, creatinine
levels, blood lactate, clot formation tendencies, blood viscosity, uric acid
levels, fibrin levels, plasma viscosity, surface tension of the blood;
Normalization Or modulation of: immune status, glucose tolerance, and
fibrinolysis.
Contraindications include:
Porphyria, photosensitivity, acute hemorrhagic
diseases (such as hemophilia-but not including routine medical anticoagulation),
hyperthyroidism, subacute appendicitis and cholecystitis, immediately after
a myocardial infarction (heart attack).
After your Photo-Oxidation treatment:
What can you expect after a treatment?
Some people feel better immediately
afterwards. Occasionally, some people feel worse before they feel better.
This is because the body is actually detoxifying from the treatment. The
stimulated oxidation process can cause your body to "break" an infection.
Detoxification symptoms include feeling tired or run-down, fever, chills,
and flu like symptoms. This will usually last the night of your treatment
and most people then feel better afterwards. In individuals with weakened
immune systems (chronic fatigue, Candida, multiple sensitivities, etc.) it
may take up to four treatments (rarely more) before the immune system is
noticeably better.
