Now this is wierd: Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation.
It is an old technique patented and approved by the FDA in the '20's. There are still a few machines around and one of them is not too far away for me to do it.
learn of it WIKI REFERENCE or Alternative treatment website information here.
My Aunt sent me a missive from her alternative practitioner who claims this is helpful for MSi and that "in the old days, this is what they did for MS and people got better" Claims like that make me nuts cause in the old days people did not do very well with MS so the assertion that there is a curative but somehow "lost" technology is very suspicious to me.
However the premise is very much in our camp: there are germs in the blood, if you withdraw a little blood and shine ultravilet light on it (just like the toothbrush sterilizing lights) then all the germs will die. If you give that blood back to the patient, they WILL have recived essentially what amounts to a vaccine for their specific germ population and their immune system will be on the trail of each of those now dead and unable to hide germs.
Of course this is dependant on a functional immune system!
Interesting huh?
What does anyone think about this off the beaten path idea? I suspect it will be expensive.......marie

I'd like to know what David Wheldoni thinks of this process; did it fall from the radar following the wide spread concentration on abxi (with the support of the drugs industry of course) or were abxi just more effective?

Marie, Steve's dad has Mycosis fungoides that has progressed to lymphoma. The Yalies have given him a slew of extracorporeal photopheresis treatments. He was better for a few months, but it didn't hold for the long haul. I looked into MF and Sezary's just after the diagnosis...yep, that bunch is buggy too. For someone who is overwhelmed with multiple infectionsi, particularly of the intracellulari type, the clean blood flows back in to a contaminated environment. How potent in a case like that is the "vaccine" effect against the intracellular pathogens?

Could be a kind of vaccine effect or could be vitamin Di but its a bit of a woolly claim to say "in the old days, this is what they did for MSi and people got better." In the older days at the end of the nineteenth century, people like Pierre Marie thought that MS had an infective cause, so if this really made people better from MS in the twenties I doubt that it would have fallen out of favour and the auto-immunei theory wouldn't have taken hold.
