Healing Affects of UBI

Broad Spectrum of medical healing effects (general strengthening, desensitizing, stimulating and anti-inflammatory) in various illnesses
Stimulation of factors of non-specific defense and immunity
Anti-hypoxic, vasodilatory effects and improvements of the rheological (flow, structure, etc.) of the blood and the microcirculation
Activation of metabolic processes and improvement of their regulation
Stimulation of hematopoiesis (making blood cells) and regeneration
Rapid positive changes in cell and blood plasma
Normalizing effect on those processes and functions that are below normal and of those that are high. I.e. auto-immune attack and low immune response

Healing Affects of UBI I.E. Ganelina and K.A. Samoilova, eds. Mechanism of the Influence of Blood Irradiation with Ultraviolet Rays on the Organisms of Humans and Animals [Russian] Leningrad : 1986 pp.155-6

Oxygenation affect

Within minutes venous oxygen level rise and can remain higher for weeks after the treatments. Cyanosis (blue coloration) tends to clear up rapidly, metabolism improves, lower extremity circulation improves.

Miley (1997) p 20; G.M. Miley, “The Ultraviolet Irradiation of Auto-transfused Human Blood: Studies in Oxygen Absorption Values,: American Journal of Medicine Sciences, June 1939, p 873.

Improvement of the ability of the tissues to extract oxygen. Feet may feel warm even though arteries remain occluded because of tissue oxygen extraction.

Frick, G Fibel der Ultraviolettbestrahlung des Blutes. Greifswald: Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universitaet Greifswald, 1989

Positive effects on Blood Components

Platelets benefit from UBI. When deformed as a result of disease, UBI seems to reshape them into a normal pattern. Serotonin in platelets give off a faint luminescence following UBI while platelets themselves can give off a strong luminescence in plasma. They also develop greater electrophoretic mobility.

I.N. Piksin et al,, “UBI in Surgery [Russina],” Khirurgiia (1990), No 11 pp 100-4.

Red blood cells register chances in their membranes including expression of antigens. There is improvement in rheological (flow) characteristics and a drop in blood viscosity. Redblood cell aggregation is greatly reduced as is their deformation. Similar changes take place in platelets.

UBI increases the activation of circulating IgM (by 2-16 times), IgG (by 2-4 times) and complement (by 2-4 times), i.e. it rapidly activates these factors of nonspecific immune defense.

UBI boosts the antioxidative capacity of the blood by activating peroxidase. This activatioin has reached 40-50% above normal levels.

I.N. Piksin et al,, “UBI in Surgery [Russina],” Khirurgiia (1990), No 11 pp 102

Safety of UBI

UBI treatments appear to lend higher specificity than many chemotherapies (pharma drugs) aimed at the same applications, since to attain their effects such chemotherapies must deviate from the ideal purity of energy-bearing molecules such as glucose and ATP.

Dillon, Kenneth J. Apprentice to Paracelsus: My search for the Secrets of Healing. McLean Virginia: Mclean Research Associates (1994)

Study of 2,380 sessions only 1.3% had complications and those were minor, hematomas at the IV site, coagulation in the tubing, shivering, dizziness and nosebleeds.

Marochkov, A. B.., V.A. Doronin, and N.N. Kravtsov (1990). "Complications in the Ultraviolet Irradiation of the Blood [Russian]," Anesteziologiia I Reanimatologiia 4:55-56

In over 10,000 UBI treatments only 6 had any adverse reaction and those were minor reactions including headache, temporary fever, chill and moderate gastrocnemium spasm.

Miley, G.P., Olney, R.C., Lewis, H.T. (1997). Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation: A History and Guide to Clinical Application 1933-1997). Silver Spring, Maryland: Foundation for Blood Irradiation.

UBI suggests negligible side effects because of its high specificity. In other words, UBI therapy is not only safe: it is safer than competing chemotherapies (pharma drugs) throughout a wide band of therapeutic action.

Dillon, Kenneth J. Healing Photons: The Science and Art of Blood Irradiation Therapy. Scienta Press. Spectrum Bioscience, Inc. (1998)

Researchers had treated 726 patients with various diseases for a total of 3,500 sessions. Significantly healing was found in 84% of the cases with no complications.

UBI or LBI

There were some tests to see if the Laser Blood Irradiation Therapy (basically injection of a laser fiber optic into the vein via a needle) was superior to UBI (Blood taken from the body and treated with ultraviolet light)

Treatment of 312 workers who received significant does of radiation during clean-up of Chernobyl. Normalization of microcirculatory and immunological indicators occurred in 73% of the UBI and 84.8% of the LBI. A complication was that some LBI cases were receiving an extra drug. Two weeks later indicated that UBI attained better results.

UBI and Disease

Bacteria

Iritis: Subactue iritis with or without iridocyclitis.

Out of 50 patients all UBI patients recovered without complications. In the control group receiving corticosteroids 20% became blind in the effected eye, there were several complications and they recovered more slowly.

Typhoid Fever

More effective when used as a monotherapy as opposed to that in combination with sulfa drugs.

Rebbeck, E. W., Lewis, H. T. (1949). "The Use of Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation in Typhoid Fever," Review of Gastroenterology 16:640-9

Streptococcal infections

Strep Infections have been successfully treated. Strep throat, rheumatic fever, scarlet fever, acute tonsillitis, acute otitis media and erisypelas all are very responsive to UBI treatment.

Chronic Osteomyelitis

LBI restored balance among immune cells and used as a pre-operative prophylaxis.

Gostishchev, V.K. et al. Effects of Intravascular LBI on the Immune System of Patients with Chronic Osteomyelitis [Russian],” Khirurgiia (1991), No 9, pp 98-101

Severe Pneumonia in Infants and children

40 patients using UBI treatment showed that they improved more rapidly than 25 in historical medical applications as a control.

V.N. Kalinlin et al. “Autotransfusion of Blood treated by Ultraviolet Irradiation in Destructive Pneumonias in Very Young Children [Russian],” Khirurgia (191) No 8, pp 14-20

Another study of 56 children under 1 with acute pneumonia as compared to 45 in a control with standard drugs showed temperature snad rapid heartbeats dropped faster, pheripheral blood and phagocytosis showed more improvements and hospital stays were reduced by 24% compared to controls.

Shamsiev, F.S.et al., “The efficacy of UBI in Combination Therapy of Acute Pneumonias in Young Children [Russian],” Pediatriia 91990), No 11, p 112

Pneumonia in conjunction with severe skull and brain injuries

With 6-8 session of UBI plus endolymphatic antibiotics significantly raised both the number of T cells and levels of IgA and IgM over those 25 in a control using standard antibiotics.

Kibirev, A.B. et al., “UBI and Endolymphatic Antibiotic Therapy in the Treatement of Pneumonia in Patients with Skull-Brain trauma [Russina],” Zhurnal VoprosyNeiokhirurgii Imeni N.N. Burdenko (1990), No 3, pp 11-14

E Coli

7 cases of Escherichia coli septicemia. A very dangerous condition in the 1940’s. 5 cured. The sixth dies of myocardial degeneration but had a sterile bloodstream. The 7th died and had a different Staph infection.

Rebbeck, E. W. (1943). "Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation in the Treatment of Escherichia Coli Septicemia," Archives of Physical Therapy 24:158-67 and 176

Other infections

Clinical trials of UBI successful against pneumococcus, staphylococcus, streptococcus and a mixture of other microbes. IN a 182 patient study with 90 as a control. The treatment group recovered more rapidly (by 5-7 days) had fewer complications and experienced a reduction in fibrogen to normal activation of anticoagulatory and fibinolytic elements. Initial Anemia – those treated saw a 30.7% increase in erythrocytes.

Tuberculosis

A study of 222 hospitalized patients with destructive tuberculosis of the lungs were divided in two groups. The first group included UBI therapy, the second did not. Within 3 months the 1st group was 100% disease free while only 58.8% of the group with antibiotics only was disease free. After 3 months 89.5% of the first group saw the destructive results of the disease disappear and only 3.2% of the second group.

119 Patients were treated with LBI in combination with standard drugs. Those with LBI treatments were observed to have stabilization of temperature, cessation or diminution of coughing, reduction in mucus produced, improvement of functional indicators of pulmonary ventilation and a stabilization of T & B lymphocytes.

Viral Disease

Polio – Poliomyelitis, Polioencephalitis

Previous results in Los Angeles showed when UBI was used that the death rate was significantly lowered..

Comparative study of 25 cases of acute, severe bulbospinal polio in children. 11 had UBI and 14 had standard treatment. Of the UBI treated 1 died and 10 had full recovery. Of the 14 in control 5 died and 9 recovered.

Georgetown University G.J. P. Barger, MD – 1944

Influenza, Respiratory tract infections, Herpes zoster, Herpes Simplex, Mumps, Measles, Mononucleosis (EBV) and plantar warts.

Reports of Miley and others have shown that UBI successfully treats influenza, respiratory tract infections, Herpes zoster, Herpes Simplex, Mumps, measles, mononucleosis (EBV) and plantar warts. In the study below researchers listed 79 consecutive cases of virus infections treated with UBI with patients from early stages to moribund – 78% of the patients recovered including 8 of the 9 that were apparently moribund (near death)

Viral Pneumonia

Miley reported that a single treatment with UBI was sufficient to bring about

recovery.

A Russian study of 10 patients ages 17-30 with acute pneumonia and 20 healthy controls were given antibiotics as well as two UBI treatments. There was marked favorable influence on the regulation of lipid peroxidation and the antioxidant system with overall beneficial results of UBI over the control.

Study comparing LBI with standard drugs in patients with acute pneumonia found that with LBI that fever and intoxication disappeared an average of 4.8 days sooner and that ausculatory symptoms disappeared 3.29 days sooner. LBI group had much less lung damage. Patients had virtually no perivascular suppuration or erythrocyte aggregation.

Eye Infections – Irido-cyclitis, Uveitis, Retro-bulbar neuritis, Herpes zoaster ophthalmicus, keratitis

Study of 27 patients using a number of controls, ophthalmologists treated

patients with UBI. The researches that all cases treated with UBI responded

exceptionally well. UBI cases were discharges in 17.5 days vs. 30.8 for the

control group.

Hepatitis

43 cases treated, three with severe chronic hepatitis – all successfully treated and with a follow up of 4.5-6 yrs. Still healthy. Comment by R.C. Onley M.D. .”… the results of (UBI) are considered significant and noteworthy”

R.C. Olney et al “Treatment of Viral Hepatitis with the Knott Technique of Blood Irradiation,” American Journal of Surgery 90 (1955) pp.402-9

Another study from 1994 had three groups with chronic active hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver patients studied.

Group 1 (20 patients) standard drugs - Group 1 – 12 of 20 had good results 2 died,

Group 2 – (16 patients) LBI treatment - Group 2 - 13 of 16 had good results

Group 3 – (10 patients) LBI infusion treatment. Group 3 - 10 of 10 had good results.

Suspected improved microcirculation in the liver was a factor and accounted for the superior outcomes.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

There was an extensive study done on 148 patients with an average of 9.1 yrs of Rheumatoid Arthritis. 27 were is stage I, 50 in stage II, 55 in stage III and 16 in stage IV. These were divided into 5 groups. Four that received varying amounts of LBI at differing frequencies. The last being a placebo group. Results were clear that those in earlier stages of RA were significantly helped and the more severe the patients condition the more difficult.

In a study on rheumatoid arthritis the clinical trials showed that there is a placebo effect on having treatments. This is well documented but it was nowhere near as good as the response of two groups that were given more consistent and frequent treatments.

In severe cases of rheumatoid arthritis UBI can exacerbate the condition, presumably where irreparable joint damage had occurred but in moderate to mild cases UBI was shown to be very beneficial.

Multiple Sclerosis

Not a lot of information is available from studies.

One Drs observation with 5 patients was that 2 improved dramatically one who recovered from terminal stage MS after 4 sessions of UBI and lived a relatively normal life for some years.

Rheumatic Fever - from earlier years

108 Children with rheumatic fever – 22 hospitalized with acute rheumatic carditis. 2 in severe condition. All received UBI treatment. One in severe condition died. The rest were able to leave the hospital without any sign of rheumatic activity. They and the rest received prophylactic treatment over the next several years. There were only two reoccurrences and those were successfully treated. In contrast to other common drug therapies there was not a single report of toxicity.

Cardiac Issues - Heart Diseases

Sever Ischemic Heart Disease

70 males , 32-79 yrs old. All suffered from angina pectoris, 56 had had a heart attack. These men had already failed to recover using intensive drug therapy. 7 treatments of UBI with no toxic effects noted. All patients were observed for 2-16 months.

All patients were able to reduce nitroglycerin.
Stenocardia was reduced.
46 were able to walk 1 km per day.
31 of 39 who had jobs were able to return to work.
7 patients died – 6 were over 60yrs old, 3 over 70.

The results were assessed “outstanding” considering the serious condition of the patients. Improvement was attributed to improvements in microcirculation, vasodilation and oxygenation of the blood. There was also an effect of humoral immunity, lessening the postinfarct cardiosclerosis.

Ganelina, I.E.et al. “Zur Therapie schwerer Stenokardeien mittels Ultraviolettbestrahlung des Blutes (UVB) and zu einigen Wirkungsmechanismen dieser Therapie,” Folia Haematologicia 109 (1982), pp.73-76

Intercardial LBI – during severe heart attacks – 30 patients received 5-7 treatments, 20 received drug treatment. With the LBI stabilizing effect, power analgesic effect (33% pain was totally suppressed and 22% significantly reduced) narcotics were reduced to 1/8th of normal levels and analgesics to 1/3. After 2-3 hours LBI patients with intense pain was only 15% while with drugs the level was 45%. There were no complications with the LBI therapy.

Microcirculation improvement

Also, marked improvement in rheological properties of the blood. Viscosity dropped 30%, platelet aggregation by 25%, fribogen level by 20% leading to a 35% reduction in general peripheral resistance and normalization of diastolic pressure. Stabilization of hemodynamic levels and more rapid resolution of the heath attack. This maintained for the 6 months of follow-up.

UBI within 6 hours of heart attack – 24 patients received drugs and UBI – 21 registered analgesic effect, 1 patient died. Following UBI incidents of extrasystole decreased sharply then tended to increase after 12-24 hours necessitating another UBI treatment. No increase of arrhythmia occurred in fact UBI had an anti-arrhythmic effect, possibly because of the anti-ischemic action.

Other Studies

In the collection by Ganelina, I.E. and K.A. Samoilova, eds. (1986). Mechanisms of the Influence of Blood Irradiated with Ultraviolet Rays on the Organisms of Humans and Animals [Russian], Leningrad: Nauka

Unpublished report but observations and case studies recorded the positive effects of UBI on acute coronary occlusion and congestive heart failure. Quick use of UBI led to improved microcirculation and reduced inflammation of the heart muscle, reduced pain, cyanosis and dyspnea. UBI given every few days usually led to overall improvement even with those who appeared to be terminal.

Artherosclerosis of the heart and lower Extremities

Beneficial Effects of UBI:

Improved rheological characteristics of the blood
Improved microcirculation
Increased oxygenation of the blood
Raised levels of cholesterol and beta-lipoproteins

They then studied the impact of on the patients enzymes. Using a control group of 13 healthy male and 54 patients – 25 had ischematic heart disease, 29 ischemic disease of the lower limbs. 15 heart and 11 lower limb patients received UBI (5-10 sessions) 12 of the 15 heart patients and 8 of the 11 lower limb patients benefited substantially.

Conclusion: UBI dosed with care in elderly lest it activate lipid peroxidation that could be harmful. Best results from younger and earlier stage patients.

Ischemic heart disease

Severe Ischemic heart disease in 145 males. Patient received 5-10 treatments of UBI along with standard drugs. 137 had favorable response to UBI and overall condition improved. Fewer analgesics or nitroglycerin tablets. 92 had fewer incidents of stenocardia and could walk 1,000 meters per day. The other 45 saw moderate improvement. Researchers felt UBI regularized biochemical substances and function in the body.

Dozens of other studies are listed in the above collection.

45 Unstable stenocardia patients – 26 with post-infarction cardiosclerosis against a control group. 5-7 LBI treatments later showed all 45 underwent improvement in general condition, less weakness, headaches and insomnia, reduced nitrates and other listed benefits.

Peripheral Vascular Disease

Early Studies by Miley listed the treatments of disorders caused by vascular blockage in the legs and arms . In some cases avoiding amputation of gangrenous toes and feet, reversing hopeless swelling and cyanosis.

Thromboangiitis obliterans

2 UBI treatments, two gangrenous toes were removed. Patient convalesced and was able to return to work. He was undergoing treatment with UBI on a quarterly basis. Upon stopping treatment Buerger’s disease appeared again. 2 UBI treatments given again and the pain disappeared.

Double Blind Study of 50 patients in Fontaine Stage II of arterial disease.

Group 1 - 16 weeks of drug therapy distance walking improved 160%

Group 2 – 4-6 weeks inpatient therapy increased 100%

Group 3 – 6 day placebo with UBI (no light) 90% improvement

Group 4 – 6 day real UBI treatment - 360% improvement

Results confirmed in 18 subsequent trials and reports. Smoking and diabetes patients were more difficult and required more UBI treatments.

Frick, G. (1989). Fibel der Ultrviolettbestrahlung des Blutes. Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universitaet Greifswald

Results are markedly superior to a standard drug regime. Drugs for intermittent claudication like pentoxifylline (Trental) only show a 19-65% increase in walking distance.

Cerebral Vascular Disorders

BI seems to pass the blood brain barrier with advantage over local irradiation as it does not damage delicate tissues. East German study of 15 patients receiving UBI and thrombolytic, antihypertensives, glycosides and physiotherapy and 15 more as a control group of healthy volunteers. The UBI group outperformed the 1st control group on 24 of 26 variables - cognitive speed, higher perceptual process, verbal recognition and concentration.

Neurological Disorders with circulatory dysfunction

90 patients ages 47-69 with atherosclerotic, hypertonic, and venous circulatory dysfunction not responsive to other treatments. 35 were used as a control . 4- 8 UBI treatments were given. Positive results in 87% of the patients was observed with 51.2% seeing full resolution. UBI cause the significant decrease of headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, feeling of heaviness of the head, pain in the heart region, etc. Sleep became more normal as well.

Neural system circulatory problems – Vegetative

50 sailors, ages 40-60 with early stage cerebral circulatory problems were treated with UBI. Patients experiences subjective improvement – heads cleared, feeling of weight on their heads disappeared, tinnitus ceased, felt more ready to work , mood improves and sleep normalized. Without controls this study is interesting but diminished.

Hypertension – High Blood Pressure

73 Stage 2 hypertensive patients were divided into groups. Group 1 – 24 received standard drug therapy Group 2 - received standard drug therapy plus LBI. Group 2 had severe hypertension that was resistant to drugs.

In Group 2 Blood pressure dropped 24%, they had less headaches and dizziness and less ache in the heart area. Drug levels were also dropped by 40%. Remission lasted 4-8 months whereas Group1 patients did not surpass 4 months. Hypertension reduction occurred 6-10 days after treatment.

Alizade, I.G. and Karaeva, N.T., An Experiment in the Use of Autotransfused, Laser Irradiated Blood in the Treatment of Patients with Hypertensive Disease [Russian], Likarska Sprava (1994), No 5-6, pp29-32

14 Hypertensive patients over a three year study showed that with UBI treatment there was a reduction in systolic pressure from 175 down to 148 on average and it held below 153 for three years. Diastolic Pressure went from 94 to 86 and then to 83 for two years and rose to 91 in the third year (averages). Conclusion UBI significantly reduced blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Medications were able to be reduced by 1/3.

Other Diseases/Disorders

Bronchial Asthma

Positive results of an 80 case study

Also check out the Harrismed.com web site for non healing wounds. UBI

seems very effective in this area.

Biliary Disease

Biliary Disease encompasses a wide spectrum of disorders caused by abnormalities in bile composition. Dr Olney treated 383 patients with this disease in the mid 1940s. 3 almost moribund, 5 very severe, 264 chronic without stones and 56 chrinic with stones, 55 chronic cholangitis and hepatitis, gall bladder previously removed.

The three almost moribund all recovered 2 left the hospital in 24 and 18 days and were in good health one year later. 4 of the 5 of the severe recovered without an operation. The others in the groups had good recoveries some with operations. He reported that UBI had great effects in limiting peritonitis, ileus, pain, pulmonary complications and phlebitis.

Olney, R.C. (1946). "Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation, Knott Method, in Biliary Disease," American Journal of Surgery 72:235-7

In 1950 Dr Rebbeck reported similar successes. Comparing 110 who had UBI

and 226 others who did not.

Excessive nausea, vomiting and use of untubation in the UBI group - 2.7% control – 33.1
Excessive abdominal distension – UBI –11.8% control - 28.8
Temperatures above 102 UBI group – 15.4 % control - 32.3%
Mortality – UBI .09% Control -2.2 %

Cholecystitis (inflammation from Gallstones)

Posterative in elderly patients

Control Group of 16 received standard srugs

Group 2 of 20 received extracorporeal x-ray radiation of blood

Group 3 of 20 received UBI

Group 4 of 19 got donor blood that had a type of UBI

Study showed that all of three of the groups had better results than the control. Again this study had diminishing effects because of its lack of objective basis of comparison.

Pancreatitis

14 cases of necrotizing pancreatitis – 10 with hemorrhagic pancreonecrosis , 8 were in serious condition with symptoms of enzymatic toxemia. No controls were used. After a barrage of other therapies failed to produce results they were given 1ml per KG of body weight of UBI donor plasma. Levels of enzymatic toxemia dropped by more than 2 times to near normal levels – 5-6 hrs after the infusion. Insulin resistance declined and other indicators improved.

In another study 65 patients with acute pancreatitis were treated with an average of 1.5 UBI treatments pre and post operative. Some were treated with UBI and had no surgery. Researchers found that in UBI patients – appetites improved, tachycardia lessened, fever declines and lab results normalized. Evidence of immunostimulation was present with no side effects from the UBI. The study is flawed because its lack of controls and the low number of UBI treatments.

Filin, V.I., Koval’chuk, V.I., Kravets, V.N., “UBIof Patients with Acute Pancreatits [Russina],” Klinicheskaia Khirurgiia 11 (1984), pp 28-29

In a third study, with 60 patients 47 had chronic pancreatitis and 13 acute pancreatitis, patients received 5-7 LBI treatments following failure of standard drugs. 92% saw pain reduction and vomiting, 83% lessened nausea, 87% improved appetite, 83% reduction of belly distention. As an indicator of improved functioning pancreas, in the acute cases the level of amylase in the urine dropped from 1826.82 +/- 401.4 to 52.77 +/- 4.9 g/l (p<.05)

Peritonitis

Early American studies – 1942 with 72 patients (no controls) with 29 who had tried and failed sulfa therapy were divided in to three groups. All were treated with UBI, 40 with general peritonitis, 20 with abdominal abscesses and 12 females with multiple pelvic abscesses and severe pelvic peritonitis. 43 had moderately advanced peritonitis – all fo these recovered after UBI treatments. 29 were apparently moribund of these 9 out of 17 recovered in group recovered, 4 out of 7 of the second group and 6 out of 9 of the third group. The other moribund patients died, two of sigmoid carcinoma. The researchers noted that UBI treatments rapidly resolved papalytic ileus and led to rapid detoxification.

Miley, G.P., Rebbeck, E.W. (1943). "The Knott Technique of Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation as a Control of Infection in Peritonitis," Review of Gastroenterology 10:1:1-28

More recent study 35 patients with disseminated peritonitis found that with UBI treatment it reduced the mortality to 4 out of 35 vs. 10 out of 37 in the control group who were treated with standard combination therapy but without UBI. The UBI group also saw a sharp increase in the number of T-cells (60%) as well as a decrease in circulating immunocomplexes (36.5%). Patients received about 3 treatments each.

Ashurov, B.M, et al., “UBI in the Treatment of Disseminated Peritonitis [Russian], “Khirurgiia (1997), No 4, pp 44-47

Kidney Disease

12 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis without disruption of kidney failure were treated with LBI. Favorable results incurred. Proteinuria dropped from 1.34 to 0.71, 7 patients with hypertonic disease saw a reduction in systolic blood pressure from 180 ot 145.2 and diastolic from 118.4 to 88.5

Izhevsk, “Use of Low-Intensity lasers in Experimental and clinical Medicine [Russian] (1994) pp 44

LBI treatment in 61 chronic pyelonephritis patients – 67.4% had urolithiasis and 32.6 adenoma of the prostate.

Group 1 got standard antibiotic therapy – success rate 20%

Group 2 - 11 got local laser therapy – success rate 57.1%

Group 3 – 33 got LBI – success rate – 64.3%

Researchers concluded that LBI shows “bactericidal action, activated the metabolism of substances and improved microcirculation and rheological properties of the blood. It leads to the removal of all hypoxia, it effects the release of a cascade of the patient’s own central and peripheral autoregulating systems adaptation, which medical substances do not.”

Migraine Headaches

12 patients with longstanding migraine headaches. 11 had “striking improvement” 7 needed maintenance treatments every two months.

East Germans have used it extensively. Placebo studies, comparative studies and UBI therapy were all looked at and the conclusion was “UBI is clearly superior…”. 21 patients were part of a double blind study – 2 ended up free of complaints, 5 noted significant improvement, 6 some improvements and 8 had no change. From a number of his studies 60-80% of migraine patients benefited from UBI, some of them even becoming headache free.

Burns

87 Patients with burnis covering 3-60% of the body surface – 56 were IIIB-IV degree from 2-38% of the body surface. IN the first few days their mood improved, sleep normalized, appetites rose amd intenseness of pain diminished – drug reduced. Pneumonias disappeared. Epithelization of the surface II and IIIA degree burns took place. Hospitalization shortened from 33.9 days to 26.2 days with those having UBI treatments.

126 patients with sepsis study, 66 had septic abortion. There were 3 groups comprised of 42 patients each. Group 1 – 3-10 sessions of UBI, Group 2 UBI plus hemoabsorption, Group 3 standard drug treatment.

Group 1 – 2 cases of septicopyemia and 14deaths

Group 2 – 0 cases of septicopyemia and 6 deaths

Group 3 – 6 cases of septicopyemia and 23 deaths

In numerous studies by the same authors, 215 Women treated for gynecological disorders ranging from adnexitis to endometriosis to disruptions in the menstrual cycle found UBI to have an analgesic, detoxifying and anti-inflammatory effect.

Migraine

Migraine Headache patients using UBI found a normalization of the menstrual cycle and conception as a side effect.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

119 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome with a control of 23. After UBI 25 of 29 women complaining of headache said that the headache disappeared or diminished. 29 of 41 with amenorrhea achieved a regular menstrual cycle. 7 of 24 complaining of infertility became pregnant. 8 of 42 complaining of hirutism experienced improvement. Lab reports included disappearance of hyperandrogenism and a tendency toward normalization of secretion of gonadotrophins.

Preclampsia

91 patients with preclampsia in the 3rd trimester were treated with LBI 1 received high doses of LBI for 20 minutes 7 days in a row while 30 patients received standard drugs. They found that LBI helped to stabilize erythrocyte membranes, improve microcirculation and blood rheology. It significantly reduced hemolysis, increased diuresis, resolved edema and rapidly and dramatically reduced proteinuria (0.24g/l compared to 0.82 g/l), lowered blood cholesterol and more rapidly alleviated hypertension compared to the control group.

Babies born to this LBI group had better APGAR scores – 20% required csecion while 31% of the control had c-sections. IN conclusion LBI cut the rate of unsuccessful response to treatment from 61% to 20%

studies for more go to the website www.DrsUBI.com.

Healing Affects of UBI

Broad Spectrum of medical healing effects (general strengthening, desensitizing, stimulating and anti-inflammatory) in various illnesses
Stimulation of factors of non-specific defense and immunity
Anti-hypoxic, vasodilatory effects and improvements of the rheological (flow, structure, etc.) of the blood and the microcirculation
Activation of metabolic processes and improvement of their regulation
Stimulation of hematopoiesis (making blood cells) and regeneration
Rapid positive changes in cell and blood plasma
Normalizing effect on those processes and functions that are below normal and of those that are high. I.e. autoimmune attack and low immune response

Oxygenation affect

Serial infrared and ultraviolet whole body irradiation and placebo and ultraviolet irradiation of autologous venous blood in peripheral arterial occlusive disease. 1. Treadmill ergometry, metabolic, rheologic and hemodynamic parameters [Article in German]

Dermatologischen Klinik und Poliklinik, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

In 21 patients suffering from obstructive peripheral arterial disease stage II according to Fontaine, therapeutic efficacy of serial whole body irradiations (infrared or ultraviolet radiation) and pretended or real ultraviolet light blood irradiations was evaluated. Before, during and after treatment the following parameters were monitored: walking distance, oxygen partial pressure (quasiarterial/venous), flow properties of blood (apparent blood viscosity, hemodynamics (peak flow, ultrasonics). There were no significant changes following both modalities of whole body irradiations either by sunshine-like ultraviolet light nor by infrared radiation, nor by pretended blood irradiation.

In the same patients mean walking distance was prolonged threefold after ultraviolet irradiation of the patient's own venous blood and subsequent retransfusion. Simultaneously, oxygen utilization was improved (enlarged arterial/venous difference), lactate concentration was decreased and apparent blood viscosity was diminished, whereas blood flow remained unchanged or only slightly improved. In this way the circulus vitiosus of obstructive peripheral arterial disease can be overcome. As a consequence of blood irradiation walking distance enlarges, providing betterchances for physical training, which helps to extend walking distance furthermore.

Ultraviolet irradiation of blood in surgery

Khirurgiia (Mosk). 1990 Nov;(11):100-4. Piksin IN, Atiasov NI, Kiseleva RE, Romanov MD, Dorofeeva LS, Krugliakov PP.

The results of complex treatment of 81 patients with pyoinflammatory diseases with the use of blood ultraviolet irradiation are discussed. A marked clinical effect was noted, the terms of treatment reduced by 5-10 days, the outcomes improved, and the number of complications decreased. Irradiation of autologous blood by ultraviolet rays led to modulation of the indices of antimicrobial protection, increase of the intensity of the histochemical reaction to peroxidase up to 40-50%, and diminution of pH in the neutrophil phagosomes to 5.0. The ultrastructure and ability of thrombocytes to store serotonin were restored, and intensity of their metabolic processes increased, the membrane phospholipid composition changed, and juvenile platelet forms appeared.

Ultraviolet irradiation of the blood in the treatment of pyo-inflammatory complications in patients with terminal renal failure

Vestn Akad Med Nauk SSSR. 1991;(3):15-20. Paleev NR, Cherniakov VL, Vetchinnikova ON.

The authors describe a technique of extracorporeal UV radiation of blood (EUVRB) in flow closed circulation. Its efficacy was assessed in combined treatment of pyo-inflammatory complications of terminal renal failure. Therapeutic effects of EUVRB are due to reduced endogenic intoxication, correction of leukopoiesis and stimulation of immunity. The changes in laboratory findings correlated with clinical pattern of the inflammation. EUVRB produced a favorable response and improved therapeutic results of pyo-inflammation treatment in patients with terminal renal failure.

Ultraviolet irradiation of blood in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis

Probl Tuberk. 1991;(7):65-8. Sukhodub LF, Tertyshnyĭ NG, Duzhyĭ ID, Pliskachev VM.

The described methods for ultraviolet blood radiation were used in 80 patients: 51 had tuberculosis of the bronchopulmonary system and 29 nonspecific pulmonary diseases. A marked clinical effect was confirmed by subjective and objective methods. In all cases blood pressure moderately decreased, there was a tendency to hypercoagulation decline, the erythrocyte count and hemoglobin level increased. The microstructure of blood elements studied by a scanning electron microscope showed formation of the rosette-forming structures in the blood and a significant increase in deformed erythrocytes.

Autotransfusion of ultraviolet-irradiated blood in destructive pneumonia of young children

Khirurgiia (Mosk). 1991 Aug;(8):14-20. Kalinkin VN, Mezentsev GD, Kashuba EA, Konovalova LA, Shatilovich LN.

Analysis of the results of clinicoimmunological study of the use of autotransfusion of blood treated by ultraviolet irradiation (ABUVI) in infants with acute purulent destructive pneumonia (APDP) revealed that imbalance of cellular and humoral immunity factors was the main factor determining the severity of the disease. ABUVI is an effective measure for correcting the immune response of the child's organism to the bacterial aggression through adequate production of monocytic phagocytes and plasma cells of the blood. It also influences the completeness of humoral immunity and reduction of T-lymphocyte deficiency in the acute phase of the disease. ABUVI raises the efficacy of complex treatment of toxicoseptic forms of APDR, reduces 1.7-fold the terms of treatment, and reduces considerably the mortality rate of this disease in young children.

Extracorporeal methods for detoxification in the combined treatment of gunshot peritonitis

Voen Med Zh. 1992 Jan;(1):44-5. Sychev MD, Manucharov NK, Tomaev KB, Litvin AA.

On the basis of examination results and treatment of 49 patients with abdominal gunshot injuries the article emphasizes that the clinical picture of gunshot peritonitis develops much faster, and the syndrome of intoxication proceeds far harder, than in cases of peritonitis with another etiology. The authors make a conclusion that an early application of extracorporal methods of detoxication (hemosorption, plasmapheresis, ultraviolet irradiation of autologous blood, xenospleen connection) could minimize the level of intoxication and contribute to the correction of the immune status.

The efficacy of the ultraviolet irradiation of the blood in the combined treatment of erysipelatous inflammation

Vestn Khir Im I I Grek. 1992 Jul-Aug;149(7-8):84-8. Potashov LV, Reshetov AV, Tone RV, Vismont VG.

An experience with treatment of 1527 patients with different forms of erysipelas is analyzed. Under study were clinical data, nonspecific resistance parameters, peripheral and central hemodynamics and viscosity of blood. Ultraviolet irradiation of blood is an effective method of pathogenetical treatment of erysipelas which results in rapid arrest of local and general symptoms of the disease. The number of complications and recurrences was reduced.

Effectiveness of chemotherapy in combination with electrophoresis and ultraviolet irradiation of blood in newly diagnosed patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis

Probl Tuberk. 1995;(3):20-2. Zhadnov VZ, Mishanov RF, Kuznetsov AA, Shprykov AS, Ryzhakova TM.

Efficacy of inpatient treatment was compared for 222 new-onset cases of destructive tuberculosis of the lungs. 86 patients received chemotherapy plus electrophoresis and UV blood irradiation (group 1), 136 patients received chemotherapy alone (group 2). Group 1 patients benefitted more; bacterial discharge ceased in 100%, destruction in 89% of patients within 3 months against 59% and 38%, respectively, in controls. Combined therapy prevents toxic allergic reactions and shortens hospital stay by 48 days.

Effectiveness of extracorporeal ultraviolet blood irradiation in treatment of chronic obstructive bronchitis in pulmonary tuberculosis

Probl Tuberk. 1998;(3):48-50. Kuvshinchikova VN, Shmelev EI, Mishin VIu.

The use of extracorporeal ultraviolet blood irradiation (EXUVBR) in the complex treatment of patients with chronic forms of pulmonary tuberculosis (cavernous, fibrocavernous) concurrent with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) has demonstrated a positive effect of the photo-modified autoblood on the course of COB. The findings have suggested that the magnitude of clinical symptoms of COB was nearly halved, the forced expiratory volume per second increased, the counts of stab neutrophils and lymphocytes and erythrocyte sedimentation rate became normal. Analysing the bacterial isolation rate showed a significant decrease in the number of Mycobacteria tuberculosis detected by luminescence microscopy after a session of EXUVBR. The latter used in pulmonary tuberculosis concurrent with COB promotes the enhanced efficiency of treatment of patients with these combined abnormalities.

FDA Agrees to review Data for UBI (UV light Blood Irradiation)

The last two decades have seen an escalation of immune-related illnesses such as fibromyalgia (FM), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), allergic conditions and HIV/AIDS. This has led to a revival of interest among medical practitioners worldwide regarding the ability of ultraviolet blood irradiation (UBI) in the treatment of such disorders.

UVBI - Ultra Violet Blood Irradiation

It is well known Ultra Violet (UV) Light will purify and deodorize air, sterilize water and destroy micro-organisms in waste products. Contaminated objects such as surgical instruments, bedding, room air and human skin is also cleansed rapidly of viruses and bacteria with the use of UV light. Research into the use and efficacy of UV light for treatment of disease was initiated in the 1870's and continued until the late 1940's.

One of the first researchers to experiment with UV light was Niels Ryberg Finsen, who won the Nobel Prize for "Physiology of Medicine" in 1903. Beginning in the 1920's and continuing through the 1930's, Seattle scientist Emmet Knott, D.Sc., sought to harness, in an extracorporeal way, the known bactericidal property of ultraviolet rays in order to treat infectious disease. Knott's patented device received FDA "grandfather" status as a device that was sold and distributed in interstate commerce prior to 1976. Knott's device removed blood from the body, anti-coagulated it, exposed it to a small, calibrated frequency and dose of UV

light, and then pumped it back into the body.

Ultra Violet Blood Irradiation called "UVBI" for short, came to be used to treat bacterial, viral, and autoimmune diseases. Unfortunately, enthusiasm over "new" antibiotics and vaccines in the 1950s caused the UVBI device to be placed on the shelf, despite the fact that for certain indications (hepatitis, viral pneumonia, and streptococcal toxemia) UVBI treatment was demonstrably superior. Research into this effective therapy came to a virtual halt. From 1955 until the 1990s, only a few American physicians continued to work with UVBI. The technique was never again taught in medical schools or academic training centers.

THE UV FACTOR - Surprising uses of Ultraviolet Light

For eons, nature has used our sun’s ultraviolet energy as a way to cleanse the earth. UV light has many practical uses, it seems as if many of its medical applications have been ignored, neglected or purposely pushed aside. With the new antibiotic resistant diseases on the rise could humanity's slow accept ance be the beginning of our demise. Because of this frightening rise of resistant organisms, plus the side effects of chemical pharmacological we need to utilize modalities that encourage the body's natural healing response.

Application of Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation for Treatment of HIV and Other Blood borne Viruses

A paper by Dr. Carl Schleicher (died in 1999) describes an innovative method of inactivating blood-borne viruses using ultraviolet blood irradiation called UBI therapy. This process has shown impressive clinical results in treating hepatitis, HIV, and other currently untreatable viruses. The background, theory, and method of using UBI therapy is presented in this paper. This method offers a potential break-through in the treatment of viral diseases and bacteria, and is nontoxic, uses no drugs, and even has FDA certification, and thus is available now for use.

Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation Therapy (Photo-Oxidation): The Cure That Time Forgot

In the 1940s, a multitude of articles appeared in the American literature detailing a novel treatment for infection. This treatment had a cure rate of 98 to 100% in early and moderately advanced infections, and approximately 50% in terminally moribund patients. Healing was not limited to just bacterial infections, but also viral (acute polio), wounds, asthma, and arthritis. Recent German literature has demonstrated profound improvements in a number of biochemical and hematologic markers. There has never been reported any toxicity, side effects or injury except for occasional Herxheimer type reactions.

As infections are failing to improve with the use of chemical treatment, this safe

and effective treatment should be revisited.

BioPhotonic Therapy vs. Pharmaceutical Drugs

Does BioPhotonic Therapy have Advantages over Pharmaceutical Drugs?

Consider the following for BPT….

Since BT stimulates the production of a “vaccine” based on your particular virus or bacteria. It is more specific and therefore has greater effectiveness.

Less likelihood to develop resistance strains than drugs.

More versatile, it works on many conditions, no need to know many drugs, many

side effects.

Stopping and/or starting BP Therapy has no consequence where chemotherapies if stopped have possible consequences of drug resistance and further spread of the disease.

Accidental overdoes is virtually impossible.

Does not destroy benign Flora (helpful bacteria).

Does not depress the immune defenses.

Boosts overall immunological defenses of the body.

Less expensive than many drugs.

Taken from “The Science and Art of Blood Irradiation Therapy – Healing Photons” by Ken Dillon

BioPhotonic Therapy (BPT)

What is BPT? It is a proven medical procedure that kills bacterial and virus, helps

the body’s immune system and rejuvenates properties in the blood. It increases

oxygen to the tissues and causes vasodilation and microcirculation.

The Procedure

Blood (1/2 pint) is withdrawn from your arm using a butterfly needle and tubing. Approximately 200 ml depending on body weight. This same blood is then run through a device which exposes the blood to the controlled ultraviolet rays.

Then, after your blood has been exposed to the light, it is returned to your own vein and bloodstream in a closed loop system.

In the process the smaller bacterial and viral cells are targeted and absorb five (5) times as much photonic energy as their healthy counterparts. The healthy cells remain intact while the disease cells are killed and become antigenic. An

"autogenous (self-generated) vaccine" is thus produced.

When this "vaccine" is coupled with the photonic energy given off by the treated blood the microbes in the patient's bloodstream are rapidly destroyed via "induced secondary immune reactivation."

After that simple procedure, then your system works with a new supercharged immune response, greater oxygenation and a balancing of your system.

There are a number of reasons why you or your Dr may not have heard of

BioPhotonic Therapy (UBI).

For a more medical look at the action of BPT there is an excellent 2 page report from a PhD – Dr Levon Gasparyan.
