Photoluminescence
Why did we stop doing Ozone, photolume, and other
oxygen therapies?
Our doctor team has decided to drop some
of our interventional natural medicine procedures. Many factors went in
to making this decision. Caring Medical remains an innovative interventional
natural medicine clinic where we look at treating the root cause of a person’s
problem. Instead of using ozone therapy or photolume, we will now be offering
a new array of intravenous protocols and metabolic testing that we have
found to be even more successful than some of these other therapies. For
example, when you balance your body chemistry, including your blood pH
and improve your circulation and nutrient levels, you can improve your
health, and actually eliminate the need for medications in certain cases.
If you are interested in a consultation with one of our doctors to develop
a new protocol for you, we’d be happy to set up a free consultation
for you with one of them. |
WHAT
IS PHOTOLUMINESCENCE? The word
Photoluminescence sounds mysterious and "hi-tech", but
it is an extremely simple, painless and safe means of treating
a person for a variety of illnesses. "Photo" refers to
light and "luminescence" refers to emission of light.
Photoluminescence involves subjecting blood to ultraviolet light
to promote healing. This is why the procedure was originally called
Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation.
IS
PHOTOLUMINESCENCE A NEW TREATMENT?
One of the
first pioneers of Photoluminescence , Emmett K. Knott, irradiated
the blood of his first human subject in 1928. Dr. Virgil K. Hancock
and Mr. Knott published the first article on the therapeutic efficacy
of phototherapy in June of 1934. By June of 1942 they had treated
6,520 patients with ultraviolet therapy. Not only had the treatment
worked nearly every time in getting rid of infections and toxicity,
it had done so in the complete absence of any harmful effects.
IS
PHOTOLUMINESCENCE SAFE?
As indicated
above, Photoluminescence is extremely safe. It is contraindicted
only in people with the diagnosis of Porphyria, hereditary metabolic
disorders such as phenylketonuria, exeroderma pigmentosum, acute
photodermatitis, and a hypersensitivity to sunlight or other forms
of ultraviolet light.
WHY
IS ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT EXPOSURE BENEFICIAL TO THE BLOOD?
Exposing
the blood to the ultraviolet light has been shown to have the following
effects:
- Increase in
the oxygen combining power of the blood.
- Inactivation
of toxins and viruses.
- Destruction
and inhibition of fungal and bacterial growth.
- Activation
of the immune system.
The blood that
is exposed to the ultraviolet light continues to emit secondary
radiation. Some scientists believe this may be the way ultraviolet
blood irradiation has cumulative effects. Each treatment builds
on and enchances the effects of previous treatments.
WHAT
ARE THE MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT MAY BENEFIT FROM PHOTOLUMINESCENCE?
The following
are a list of medical conditions that may be significantly improved
by the treatment:
- Viral Infections
- Candidiasis
(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-adjunctive
conditions
*According to
the research as described in the reference section.
HOW
IS THE PROCEDURE PERFORMED?
The procedure
is pictured below. A catherer is initially placed (similar to
a blood draw) in one of the veins around the elbow. The blood is
removed and travels through a small glass chamber, called a cuvette,
where it is subjected twice to ultraviolet light and returned
to the blood stream. Generally, 1.5cc of blood per pound of body
weight
is withdrawn up to a maximum of 250cc. DOES
INSURANCE COVER PHOTOLUMINESCENCE?
Currently,
insurance companies do not recognize natural medicine techniques
like photoluminescence and thus it is not covered by insurance.
HOW
MANY TREATMENTS ARE NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE DESIRED RESULTS?
This varies with
the individual, but many people begin to feel improvements in their
condition after just a few treatments. Depending on the severity
of the condition, some patients may need ten or more treatments.
For conditions not as severe, three to five treatments are normally
required.
HOW
OFTEN ARE THE TREATMENTS GIVEN?
While
treatments can be given once every 24 hours, most patients receive
one to three treatments per week.
