Ultraviolet Blood Therapy Makes A Strong Comeback

Ultraviolet blood irradiation was a popular therapy for viral and bacterial infections, and polio, in the 1930's.

The state of euphoria over the discovery of vaccines and antibiotics had pushed ultraviolent blood therapy over the edge of disuse that it was almost forgotten.

But thanks to the increasing appreciation by a small but growing number of practioners of the dangers and lack of efficacy of vaccines, the rising resistance of various strains of bacteria to antibiotics, the side effects associated with anti-bacterials, and the thorny issue of treating viruses [including AIDS], ultraviolet blood therapy is now being resurrected as a viable alternative treatment.


It is now more commonly referred to as photoluminescence therapy. It is high-tech sounding, but it is actually a very simple procedure which experts claim can be done at home with the right equipment and proper instructions [both available in the internet].

Photoluminescence therapy is done by inserting a catheter into one of the veins in your forearm [the spot where they usually extract your blood for diagnostic tests] to draw blood into a glass chamber, called cuvette, where it is exposed to ultraviolet light before being re-introduced to the patient's blood stream.

Only 5% of the body's blood is treated, twice over a span of 20 minutes. This treated blood circulates throughout the body with rapid, detoxifying effect, raising oxygen levels in blood, as well as increasing resistance to microbial infections.

Usually 3 - 5 treatments will suffice. But 10 treatments or more may be necessary for extreme cases.

During a 50-year period, doctors performed more than 300,000 clinical tests [reported in prestigious journals] that repeatedly showed photoluminescence to work. It's interesting to note that not a single patient was lost during the course of all those studies.

Interest in ultraviolet blood therapy has also been revived by its encouraging results on certain types of lymphoma borne out by the in-depth studies conducted by researchers at Yale. Current studies are also being conducted on its effects on malaria, and Alzheimer's disease.

Other researches show that various medical conditions can be significantly improved with photoluminescence therapy, such as the following: viral infections, fungal infections, venom poisoning, bacterial infections, chronic fatigue, poor oxygen, toxicity, blood poisoning, poor circulation, low blood counts, allergies, asthma, emphysema, cancer-adjunctive conditions, diabetes complications, poor immune function, rheumatologic diseases, arthritis-conjunctive conditions.

Ultraviolet blood therapy is a low-cost, drug free, and safe treatment. The only contraindications are for patients with porphyria, phenylketonuria, exeroderma pigmentosum, acute photodermatitis, and hypersensitivity to sunlight or ultraviolet light.
