Multiple Sclerosis
Not
a lot of information is available from studies. One doctor's observation with 5 patients was that 2 improved dramatically, one who recovered from terminal stage
MS after 4 sessions of UBI and lived a relatively normal life for some years.Rheumatic Fever -
From earlier years 108 Children with rheumatic fever – 22 hospitalized with acute rheumatic carditis. 2 in severe
condition. All received UBI treatment. One in severe condition died. The rest were able
to leave the hospital without any sign of rheumatic activity. They and the rest received prophylactic treatment
over the next several years. There were only two reoccurrences and those were successfully treated. In
contrast to other common drug therapies there was not a single report of toxicity.

Another
study from 1994 had three groups with chronic active hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver patients studied. Group 1 (20 patients)
standard drugs - Group 1 – 12 of 20 had good results 2 died,Group 2 – (16 patients) LBI
treatment - Group 2 - 13 of 16 had good resultsGroup 3 – (10 patients) LBI infusion treatment.
Group 3 - 10 of 10 had good results. Suspected improved microcirculation in the liver was a factor
and accounted for the superior outcomes.

Chronic Dermatoses
AUTOTRANSFUSION OF ULTRAVIOLET-IRRADIATED
BLOOD IN THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC DERMATOSES
V.N.
Korol
National
Medical University, Kiev – Ukraine
Background/Aim: To
study the effectiveness of autotransfusion of ultraviolet irradiated blood (AUVB) in the treatment of dermatological patients. Methods: AUVB was carried out with the help of the apparatus “Izolda” MD-73M with the blood current speed of 20ml/min. The blood, taken from a patient, was irradiated extracorporeally by a mercury-quartz lamp with short ultraviolet
rays (SUV) 254nm a quartz cuvette, through which it was let with the help of a peristaltic
pump, and then its reinfusion was fulfilled. The volume of irradiated blood was 120-150
mL. The number of such sessions in the course of treating a patient was from 7 to 12.
The treatment with AUVB was carried out for 56 patients having psoriasis, 14 patients
having neurodermatitis disseminate, 4 having lichen rubber planus and 26 patients with
chronic piodermits (furunculosis, acne illness). Results:
It has been determined that patients with psoriasis (especially with arthropatic psoriasis,
psoriatic erythrodermy and spread psoriasis with torpidic course), with neurodermatitis
disseminate, lichen rubber planus, furunculosis and acne illness have suppression of
the cellular and humoral immunity, nonspecific reactiveness
of organism. After the course of treatment by autotransfussion of UV-irradiated blood
we could observe a significant improvement or normalization of the indices of the cellular
and humoral immunity, non-specific reactiveness, that was followed with positive clinical
dynamics.
Conclusions: Autotransfusion of UV-irradiated blood assists the normalization of
immunological reactiveness of patients that allows to use it effectively for the treatment
of serious and complicated forms of chronic dermatoses.

Migraine Headaches
12 patients with longstanding migraine
headaches. 11 had “striking improvement” 7 needed maintenance treatments
every two months.

East Germans have used it extensively. Placebo studies, comparative
studies and UBI therapy were all looked at and the conclusion was “UBI is clearly superior…”.
21 patients were part of a double blind study – 2 ended up free of complaints, 5 noted significant improvement,
6 some improvements and 8 had no change. From a number of his studies 60-80% of migraine patients benefited
from UBI, some of them even becoming headache free.

Septic Abortion Problems
One study which UBI was combined with hemoabsorption found a fourfold decline in
mortality and a more rapid recovery on average.

126 patients with
sepsis study, 66 had septic abortion. There were 3 groups comprised of 42 patients each. Group 1 –
3-10 sessions of UBI, Group 2 UBI plus hemoabsorption, Group 3 standard drug treatment.Group 1 – 2 cases of septicopyemia and 14deathsGroup 2 – 0 cases of septicopyemia
and 6 deaths Group
3 – 6 cases of septicopyemia and 23 deaths In numerous studies by the
same authors, 215 Women treated for gynecological disorders ranging from adnexitis
to endometriosis to disruptions in the menstrual cycle found UBI to have an analgesic, detoxifying and anti-inflammatory
effect.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
119 patients with
polycystic ovary syndrome with a control of 23. After UBI 25 of 29 women complaining of headache said that the headache disappeared
or diminished. 29 of 41 with amenorrhea achieved a regular menstrual cycle. 7 of 24 complaining of infertility
became pregnant. 8 of 42 complaining of hirutism experienced improvement. Lab reports included disappearance
of hyperandrogenism and a tendency toward normalization of secretion of gonadotrophins.

Preclampsia
91 patients with preclampsia
in the 3rd trimester were treated with LBI 1 received high doses of LBI for 20 minutes 7 days in a row while 30
patients received standard drugs. They found that LBI helped to stabilize erythrocyte membranes, improve microcirculation
and blood rheology. It significantly reduced hemolysis, increased diuresis, resolved edema and rapidly
and dramatically reduced proteinuria (0.24g/l compared to 0.82 g/l), lowered blood cholesterol and more rapidly alleviated
hypertension compared to the control group. Babies born to this LBI group had better APGAR scores – 20% required c-secion while 31% of the control had c-sections.
IN conclusion LBI cut the rate of unsuccessful response to treatment from 61% to 20%.

Neonates – Inflammatory Disorders 52 neonates up to 12 hours old in critical
condition with suppurative or inflammatory disorders. Upon 3 treatments of UBI – dose equivalent
to body weight. Antihypoxic effect of UBI showed in 28 cases. The infants became more
active and stopped having breathing problems.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Achieved an 80% totally successful outcome in severe, refractory cases. Only 20%
needed surgery.

relieved all symptoms and patients returned to normal in 174 (79%). 24 patients (11%) were improved while
22% (10%) required operations for ovarian cysts, fibroids or abscesses.

A Study
in 1990 with 23 patients with various kinds of PID and related conditions were treated with UBI plus drugs and a control group
of another 24 received just standard drug therapy. Pain disappeared, terperature normalized and disease
signs disappeared much sooner with the UBI group. They healed in an average of 12 days while the control
group took 21 days.

Burns
87 Patients with burns covering 3-60% of the body surface – 56 were IIIB-IV degree
from 2-38% of the body surface. IN the first few days their mood improved, sleep normalized, appetites
rose amd intenseness of pain diminished – drug reduced. Pneumonias disappeared. Epithelization of
the surface II and IIIA degree burns took place. Hospitalization shortened from 33.9 days to 26.2 days
with those having UBI treatments.

Clinical trials of UBI successful against pneumococcus, staphylococcus, streptococcus and a mixture of other microbes. IN a 182 patient study with 90 as a control. The treatment
group recovered more rapidly (by 5-7 days) had fewer complications and experienced a reduction in fibrogen to normal activation
of anticoagulatory and fibinolytic elements. Initial Anemia – those treated saw a 30.7% increase in erythrocytes.

Tuberculosis:
A study of 222 hospitalized patients with destructive tuberculosis of the lungs were divided in
two groups. The first group included UBI therapy, the second did not. Within 3 months
the 1st group was 100% disease free while only 58.8% of the group with antibiotics only was disease free. After
3 months 89.5% of the first group saw the destructive results of the disease disappear and only 3.2% of the second group.

119 Patients were treated with LBI in combination with standard drugs. Those
with LBI treatments were observed to have stabilization of temperature, cessation or diminution of coughing, reduction in
mucus produced, improvement of functional indicators of pulmonary ventilation and a stabilization of T & B lymphocytes.

88 tuberculosis patients receiving low doses
of UBI were compared to a control group. 31.9% noted significant improvement, 47.8% partial improvement
