UV Blood treatment was developed in the 1930's to treat polio and other infectious diseases.
Another name for this procedure is Photophoresis. A simple in office procedure, it is useful in treating both bacterial and viral infections and generally improving the immune system. A treatment involves exposure of a small amount of a patient's blood to ultraviolet light for a a specified amount of time and then returning the patient's blood via I/V, at the same place from which it was taken.
UV Blood has many other positive effects on overall health including the following: Increase in arterial and venous oxygen levels, lowering of fibrin, lowering of platelet aggregation, improvement of the electrophoretic movability of red blood cell, increase in white blood cells, increase in lymphocytes, increase in hemoglobin, lowering of thrombocytes, increase in phagocytosis, increase in bacteriocidal capacity of blood, improvement in glucose tolerance, ....... and more!
In this country, this treatment fell by the wayside after the appearance of penicillin however it is still used with success here and in other countries around the world.
Many thanks to William Campbell Douglass, M.D. and his book, "Into the Light" which gives a more in depth history of this treatment.
