Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation Program

History, rationale and clinical
considerations of photoluminescence
by Victor Loustaunau MD

With over hal a century as a valuable therapeutic weapon, extensive resaerch reported in voluminous literature around the world describes the effects of ultraviolet blood irratiation on toxins, oxygenation and viricidal, bactericidal, and inflammatory conditions.

UV Blood Irradiation (UBI) was first introduced in the 1930's to combat the polio virus, but the advent of antibiotics and the Salk vaccine minimized its use. The new viral epidemics and failure to treat a number of conditions have brought back the possibility of alternative forms of therapy for these conditions. Chronic fatigue syndrome, hepatitis C, bacterial infections resistant to antibiotics and even such conditions as cancer have shown good results with the use of UBI.

UBI is the controlled application of UV irradiation to the blood within the accepted therapeutic UV band.

Applying ultraviolet rays directly to a patient's blood was originally conceived as a method of utilizing the bactericidal properties of the rays in the treatment of blood stream infections. Recent developments in the use of UV have led to a well-controlled procedure that produces excellent results with virtually no side effects. Proper instrumentation and training provide clinical results in an inexpensive, fast and reliable procedure.

The method of applying UV rays to the blood began in 1925 with a system that allowed circulation of a minimum amount of blood out of the body through a device enabling the operator precise control. Experimental work with dogs infected with different highly infective bacteria proved very effective and free of side effects.

The polio epidemic provided a new opportunity for this method. It developed rapidly and extensively until immunizations eradicated it.

THe method also flourished in the 1930's when people dying of untreable infections responded to the therapy.

CLINICAL EFFECTS AND APPLICATIONS

The effect of UV radiation on the blood has been recognized and well researched around the world. Probably the best known applications of UV irradiation are in the treatment of infectious processes such as bacterial and viral infections. This is a considerable significance because of the presence of new bacterial groups that are resistant to classic antibiotic therapy. And there are viral epidemics that threaten younger groups of people for whom alternatives are few. To mention a few: chronic fatigue syndrome, hepatitis C, fibromyalgia, encephalitis, and herpes infections, all of which respond to this therapeutic program.

UV irradiation has an important detoxifying action that has proven very important in chronic degenerative diseases. Another important effect is in peripherial vasodilatation that increases blood flow in approximately 75% of patients. Thsi effect, together with the increase of blood oxigen by about 20%, means that chronic circulatory conditions can be improved with minimal risk. Since this procedure involves no kidney damage whatsoever, diabetic chronic circulatory problems and older people can easily be treated. Peripheral arteriosclerosis and even gangrene can be treated as well.

CRITERIA FOR ENTERING THE UV BLOOD IRRADIATION PROGRAM

Patients who shoul benefit clarly from this program are those with infectious processes resistant to antibiotic therapy, chronic viral conditions such as chronic viral conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, hepatitis C, and HIV related conditions. We also target this therapy for people with chronic inflammatory illnesses, chronic degenerative diseases and certain forms of cancer. Other targets are poor circulatoty conditions where blood flow is poor and in which more aggressive techniques such as chelation or even vascular manipulation could imply a health risk to the patient. Older patients with vascular conditions and lower immune system performance are also good candidates for this treatment.

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS

Ultraviolet irradiation of the blood is a valuable treatment tool that may prove to be an important altrenative in the treatment and management of difficult chronic infectious, inflammatory processes and a number of degenerative conditions where higher oxygenation levels and better immune performance are required.
