Presentation Transcript

  1. PHOTOTHERAPY A LIFE SAVING FORM OF TREATMENT PRESENTED BY DR. DAN FERNANDEZ Article proving UBI was utilized extensively in the U.S. in the 1940’s. This article describes the beneficial effects of PCI in 98 children with Rheumatic Fever.

  2. The “Tulsa World Newspaper” in 1951 describes how PCI helped in the fight against Nephritis in children. This particular study demonstrated a success rate of 97%.

  3. In Europe, Czech physician Karel Havlicek and others began using ultraviolet photon therpy via muscular reinjection of small doses of blood, often just 10 ml.

  4. Federico Wehrli treated oxygenated blood with UV in a procedure termed Hematogenic Oxidation Therapy (HOT). Since then, HOT has enjoyed a certain popularity in Central Europe.

  5. IZOLDATHE BLOOD ULTRA VIOLET RADIATION SOURCE • Is intended for isolated (out-of-constitution) blood dosage ultraviolet irradiation with medical and preventive purposes. The irradiation procedure is simple, sterile, safe one and may be made either in surgical and therapeutic hospitals and departments, at the patient's bedside or in polyclinics, sanatoriums and preventoriums. The radiation source is successfully used during such diseases as the cardiovascular, the purulent-inflammatory, pneumonia, treatment and prophylaxis, as well as in obstetrics-gynecological practice, burns treatment etc.

  6. The Knott Hemo-Irradiator (circa 1997) Utilized extensively in the U.S. throughout the last 20 years

  7. EUMATRON Hemo-Irradiator from Germany

  8. FENWAL AMICUS SEPARATOR • Separates Whole Blood into Plasma and Serum. • Plasma is then Gamma-Irradiated. • Used for treatments such as Scleroderma, Lupus & other Autoimmune Diseases

  9. THERAKOS PHOTOPHERESIS IRRADIATOR • from JOHNSON & JOHNSON FDA approved for the treatment of T-Cell Lymphoma. This model was utilized in the ARC Related HIV/AIDS study conducted at Colombia University in Morristown.
