cited in much of the scientific literature. How many therapies or drugs can
make such a claim? Are there ways these healing benefits might be enhanced?
Intravenous and transcutaneous laser blood irradiation as well as extracorporeal
irradiation of the blood with broadband ultraviolet and other forms of non-coherent light
are widely practiced throughout Russia, Germany and Eastern Europe. Although some of
these techniques may seem foreign to many readers, it is possible to achieve similar
effects noninvasively.
Levon Gasparyan writes, Unlike the treatment mechanisms of local laser therapy,
the medical effects of photo-hemotherapy methods are determined by predominance of
systemic healing mechanisms above the local ones, increasing the functioning efficacy of
vascular, respiratory, immune, other systems and organism as a whole.

circulatory volume to begin emitting biophotons.

Imagine a wave of light expanding
throughout the blood as more and more cells are recruited to emit biophotons.
This secondary emission known as bioluminescence or chemiluminescence may be
far greater than the initial exposure to light. Now imagine light streaming from blood
cells throughout the entire circulatory system, illuminating capillaries inside the liver,
brain, kidney and everywhere throughout the body. The emission of biophotons

by the
blood itself is responsible for most effects.
Oxygen levels in venous blood rise shortly after blood irradiation and may remain
high for days or weeks afterward. Blood viscosity is reduced, improving capillary blood
flow and peripheral circulation. LDL and total cholesterol decrease while HDL
increases. C reactive protein drops. Red blood cell formation is stimulated. White blood
cell activity and numbers increase.
Blood irradiation may create the perfect vaccine, immunizing the body with its own
invaders. Only a small percentage of microorganisms are killed during the initial
exposure. However, during bioluminescence, all or a large portion of bacteria and
viruses may be accurately targeted by biophotons. Most of the bodys own cells and
friendly flora seem relatively untouched and even to benefit. Viruses, bacteria and many
dysfunctional cells are highly vulnerable. It has been proposed that blood irradiation may
be the most effective treatment available for HIV.
Blood irradiation is a U.S. invention.
Seattle resident, Emmett Knott, patented the first ultraviolet blood irradiation device
in 1928. By the early 1940s it was being used with great success to treat bacterial and
viral infections and in many autoimmune and inflammatory conditions as well.
It has been investigated thoroughly in a great many clinical trials, and numerous
articles about it have been published in peer reviewed journals. Positive results have
been reported in AIDS, appendicitis, atopic dermatitis, botulism, bronchial asthma, burns,
cyanosis, emphysema, encephalitis, endocarditis, fever, gangrene, hepatitis, hypertension,
infection (bacterial or viral), paralytic ileus, pelvic inflammatory disease, peritonitis,
pneumonia, polio, rheumatoid arthritis, snakebite, thrombophlebitis, and thrombosis.
Ultraviolet blood irradiation has been reported to cure the common cold and flu in case
studies. However, with the advent of antibiotics and the Salk vaccine in the 1940s and
1950s, most of mainstream American medicine turned to drug therapies even though
these did not exhibit ultraviolet blood irradiations capability in viral infection or in
autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.

Biophotons, coherent, monochromatic light emitted by all living cells, are discussed at greater length in
the 2
nd
article in this series. Fritz A. Popp and colleagues developed equipment sensitive enough to
measure and study biophotons in 1971. Popp proposed that they control most, if not all, physiological
processes. The International Institute of Biophysics, http://www.lifescientists.de/ib_000e_.htm coordinates
international biophoton research and is a good resource for more information.
Kenneth Dillon writes, Biophotonic Therapy is effective against many disorders. It
was a serious lapse for American medical science to ignore the documentation
including various controlled studies that had been developed over 30 years beginning in
1928 regarding BT treatment of hundreds of thousands of patients by reputable
physicians.

The Russian Experience
By the 1970s, both laser therapy and ultraviolet blood irradiation were widely
practiced in the Soviet Union. Intravenous laser blood irradiation is a Russian
innovation, blending both techniques. Originally used to treat cardiovascular conditions,
it was quickly found to have much broader therapeutic applications.
Thousands of practitioners throughout Eastern Europe, Russia and Germany use
many forms of invasive and noninvasive blood irradiation. The list of conditions being
treated is exhaustive, and research is extensive. Although specific effects and
mechanisms may differ, depending upon the methods, dosage, wavelength, and
coherence/non-coherence of the light source, both laser and ultraviolet blood irradiation
elicit biophotonic emission by the blood.
Intravenous laser blood irradiation is easier to perform as coherent light may be
transmitted through a fiberoptic light-guide directly into a blood vessel. The most
popular devices in Russia for this are Helium-Neon lasers with outputs of 1-3 milliwatts.
Treatments last 20-60 minutes, and a typical course is three to ten daily procedures.
To irradiate the blood with ultraviolet or other non-coherent light sources, blood
must be withdrawn, anticoagulated, irradiated and then reinfused. This requires a
relatively large needle and excellent IV skills. Ultraviolet blood irradiation has been
practiced in the U.S. for more than 75 years.
Noninvasive Laser Blood Irradiation
An advantage of coherent, laser light over all other light sources is that it can
penetrate at red to near infrared wavelengths to reach the blood noninvasively. Whenever
laser therapy is given, some blood will be irradiated, and this must surely account for
many of the non-local health benefits which have been observed.
Two methods might be used to maximize the absorption of laser light by the blood
noninvasively. One may treat either over large blood vessels or over capillary networks
(muscle, mucous membranes, sublingually) in light contact. Although twenty milliwatts
transcutaneously has been estimated as equivalent to one milliwatt intravenously if one is
using Helium-Neon lasers

, treating noninvasively is an art as well as a science. Effects

are less predictable. As in any form of therapy, outcomes will be maximized with
knowledge, experience and the right clinical tools.
Commentary
Laser therapy adds energy to activate immunity and increase the health of living
systems. When we understand its deeper effects, we will know much more about
ourselves. Laser therapy at low intensity is painless, without risk of infection or trauma
and has enormous potential benefits which deserve to be thoroughly funded and explored.
