I’ve used this therapy successfully in lieu of oral and iv abx. The doc doesn’t advertise because he is worried about the medical mafia board.

Catherine - I presume that the ‘medical mafia board’ to which you refer is the one in the United States (probably a state-based entity). Whatever its shortcomings, it would not have anything on the Australian equivalent, called the ‘Australian Health Practitioners Regulatory Agency’ (AHPRA) - an Australian federal body. Its mode of operation is like something straight out of Stalinist Russia, and especially since the start of the Covid disaster it has used its power to vigorously pursue any doctor who wavered from ‘the party line’ or questioned the wisdom of government policy about the mass injection of the Australian populace with the experimental Covid jabs. By so doing, AHPRA has forced good doctors out of the profession and effectively denied them natural justice. Unfortunately, government and bureaucratic control in Australia has never been able to rise above the ethos of the British penal colony from which modern Australia was born over 230 years ago.

guessing she refers to our corrupted AMA-- American Medical Association.

I live in Minnesota; about 2 years ago our the AMA and attorney general (Minnesota) used spurious claims by the liberal, Democratic party to go after a renowned doctor with over 30 years of practicing and never having had a "claim" against him. He was so pissed and affected by this situation he ran for governor and almost won against the Liberal candidate-- Tampon Tim(search under that, it's funny.)

It is individual state medical boards throughout the US that control the licensing of physicians, not the AMA. I think fewer and fewer physicians are joining the AMA.

Glad you're publishing abridged versions. It's good to have the long articles with links to all the studies, but it's also good to have a shorter piece I can point people to; they can then decide if they want to read the longer one.

Any organization, which hides the truth for its own benefit should not be in existence. The AMA has derived its power from the money it has obtained from peddling products that are dangerous. John D Rockefeller promoted the AMA in order to sell his patented petroleum-based drugs from about 1910 on. Drugs became the primary treatment for all patients. Few questioned the value of these drugs. How many really understood what they did in the human body? How many doctors really knew how the body works or what the body needed in order to be healthy? If they knew this information, they would not promote drugs or vaccines. 2500 years ago, Hippocrates promoted health and his patients got well. This is what he taught doctors, too. He promoted natural food, sunlight, fresh air, and.a healthy lifestyle. Too simple...not enough money connected to prescribing these things. Sunlight is ultra important. All my life I have been into sunbathing. I never worried about wrinkles or cancer. I knew that vitamin D for strong bones was more important. At 91 - I don't consider myself elderly or fragile. I don't feel much different than I felt 50 years ago. In fact, I feel better today than I did in my 20s and 30s...

Sunlight is an excellent cure! Too bad it was demonized by the dermatology industry. Smearing "sun-block" all over one's body with those chemicals that some claim are cancer-causing is just not good for a person. Sunlight was the reason that Scottsdale, Arizona began as a place where many people came to treat their TB (consumption as it was called back in the day - my great-grandmother died of consumption). They would sit in the hot Arizona sun and breathe in the hot dry air and many found cures here. Even on very hot days in the summer I sit in the sun for at least 20 minutes. It's good for the soul and the spirit too!

It would be super to add UV light to the blood platelet donation machines, because they extract your blood, take platelets out, and return the blood to you in a two hour routine. This could make irradiation virtually free to the donor!

It also removes viral/bacterial contaminants and makes them less likely to provoke immune reactions.

No matter how they try to soften their remark with cute statements, grammar police typically come across as elitist or condescending, particularly when they focus on correcting others' mistakes rather than engaging with the substance of what is being said.

It's also good for your eyes. While closed looking directly and then away. Good for the macular.

Kalle Pihlajasaari's avatar

The before 11am myth is consistent with the sunscreen myth. Best UVB dose is achieved with the highest sun elevation but for a short time. Outside of midsummer many places do not see the sun rise above 45 degrees except for a short while around noon. For Vitamin-D3 to form you would like the sun to be above 45degrees as the oblique path through the atmosphere otherwise attenuates most of the short wavelengths.

You don't need very long then, perhaps 20-40 minutes for a pale skin more for a tan or dark skin. The rest of the time you can cover up with a shirt if there is too much sun. Your body will not let you overdose with Vitamin-D3 or most of the other good stuff but if you have no tan or have freckles or red hair you need to be mindful not to get sun burnt. Sunburn is said to be the only predictor of skin cancer, sunshine and tanning are not.

If uv is good for blood why aren't there devices that apply strong uvb on the areas of the arms where veins are visible?

I don't do UVB but near and far infrared has helped me tons with healing my eyes and when focused on problem areas.

It only cost $50, probably $100 today. UVB could be at most 2x that in the days of LEDs that go wide on the spectrum...

Pollack's EZ (zeta) water is made with infrared light BTW.....

near and far infrared devices--they cost only $100 today? Do you have a brand that you'd recommend?

Expand full comment
Rob (c137)'s avatar

I just got one with the proper wavelengths and went cheap. 660nm and 850nm were the numbers that I leaned help... Half the bulbs look like they're off because they're far infrared. (My phone camera can see them glow a bit.)

The fancy ones have more power but this one is nice also to light up the room for sunrise and my gf likes it to set the stage before bedtime.

This is the one I got years ago and it's still cheap at $29!

I've placed it against my back and neck to help speed healing. I cannot say whether it helped or not as I was also using castor oil and DMSO.

I figure that if the treatment is cheap enough, I combine them figuring that each thing adds a bit.

Hooga has some for less than $100. In another article MWD recommended them.

UVB is great for making Vitamin-D3 in the skin. However overdose of UVB will cause skin burn and skin burn is correlated with skin cancer. Building up a tan with increasing daily doses of sun or UVB is not linked to cancer. Generous Vitamin-D3 serum levels is linked to reduction of almost all cancers.

Check out vitamindwiki.com for loads of good stuff about Vitamin-D3.

Not to mention, LEDs are bad for your health also

Expand full comment
Rob (c137)'s avatar

Not because they're LED but because LED lighting has a bad spectrum.

Cool white fluorescent bulbs were also not good because of an unbalanced spectrum.

As for infrared use, LEDs are way more efficient than the heat lamps which give off a lot of heat.

I'm not worried about my LED infrared lamp and it's in use short times, not all day.

$20??!! Really? Is it something a person can use on himself?

Expand full comment
DUANE HAYES's avatar

No, you'd have to be a doctor. Requires some blood withdrawn from a artery, then exposed to the ultra violet light, (which I would assume any sun lamp), then injected back into the artery. The equipment amounts to not much, my $20 joke isn't really far off, but would take a doctors expertise to perform this.

Elle Teale's avatar

So sorry to hear you are dealing with GBS... Just want to comment that you might be able to get good results with a Vielight, an intranasal phototherapy device, because the blood is so thin up in the nose, I read that putting the light up a person's nose gives the same effects (basically) as actually removing it from the body, exposing it to light, then putting it back in. You can see more info on this page: https://healing-liver-cirrhosis.blogspot.com/2014/01/ultraviolet-blood-irradiation-how-it.html I haven't tried that machine yet but want to. I don't know anyone who could tell me the red light unit worked for them, but I know two people who RAVED about the 810 nm device. I want to get that one day. Had to share...

This is a link to the original, unabridged article. The “find a doctor” link is below the paywall.

After reading the original article, I contacted the UVBI equipment manufacturer at the link given. They were helpful, but the practitioners in Central Florida they referred me to were all out of business (COVID-era closings). The nearest practitioners who *may* still be in business are all in the “retired rich” area of Florida — Palm Beach/Mar-A-Lago area — a 4-hour drive from me.

Happy to help. I don't know if there are any clinics on the Gulf coast. Here's the list provided to me by the UVBI equipment manufacturer last November:

The Best Program

📍 1451 NE 4th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Health & Rehab Center Palm Beaches

📞 561-630-8722

📍 11951 US-1 Ste 105, North Palm Beach, FL

Integrative Hospital Associates

VZone Wellness

📞 954-425-9663

📍 1164 E Oakland Park Blvd #101, Oakland Park, FL

I did not contact any of these folks because they're too far from me, so they may or may not still be around. You can contact O3UV.com and give them your zip code, and maybe they'll be able to find someone closer to you. Good luck! -- Randy
