DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES

DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES

• KNOTT S TECHNIQUE Blood extraction is performed
  by a peristaltic pump. The patients vein is
  canalized and blood extraction proceeds via a
  sterile closed tubing circuit that runs through a
  pump and into an irradiation cuvette where the
  blood is exposed to UV Photons. From there the
  blood continues to a sterile receiving bottle.
  When all the blood collected is irradiated and
  contained in the bottle, the pump is reversed and
  the blood is once again irradiated before
  returning to the patient.
• SYRINGE TECHNIQUE This technique employs a 60cc
  syringe without a needle, which is connected to
  sterile tubing, which is in turned connected to a
  9cm long cuvette and from there to the canalized
  vein of the patient. Blood is extracted by
  pulling back on the syringe and then reinfusion
  occurs by syringe injection. This motion back and
  forth is repeated 3 to 4 times depending on the
  volume of blood needed. Safety measure are
  greatly lacking in this type of procedure.
• ELDESON TECHNIQUE Utilized by THERAKOS of
  Johnson and Johnson. Here a patients vein is
  canalized and blood is extracted by pump action
  to a plasma separator. The whole blood is
  separated into Plasma and Serum. The Plasma
  continues via sterile tubing to the irradiation
  chamber from there the blood is reconstituted
  into whole blood and reinfused back into the
  patient. This procedure takes 450 minutes and is
  very costly.

• FERNANDEZ TECHNIQUE  Dr. Fernandez developed a
  blood irradiation process which is extremely
  efficient, viable, safe and dependable.  In our
  technique the patients vein canalization and
  blood extraction is performed by conventional
  methods, such as those employed by the RED
  CROSS.  After collection is completed, the blood
  bag is connected to the irradiator and to a
  disposable sterile tubing kit and to the
  PCI-Cuvette.  The blood is then pumped via a
  peristaltic pump at a precise flow rate this
  guarantees precise dosage. The blood then flows
  to an irradiation chamber via a sterile spiral
  cuvette and is exposed to the exact dosage of UV
  photons.  The blood then continues to a secondary
  collection bag. Once the irradiation process is
  complete (aprox. 3-7 minutes) and the collection
  bag is full, is it disconnected from the
  disposable kit and placed on an IV pole to be
  reinfused to the patient by conventional
  transfusion methods. Dr. Fernandez utilizes a
  blood administration kit with a 70micron filter
  to avoid any clots from being reinfused.
• The PCI-1 has a special feature which is a memory
  chip that contains the patients complete medical
  history and dosage prescription provided by the
  attending physician. This chip must be inserted
  into a USB port on the machine in order for
  treatment to be initiated. This safety precaution
  avoids mistakes in dosage and assures patient and
  medical personnel safety.   The blood never comes
  into contact with the ambient and the patient is
  never attached to the machine. Procedure takes 25
  minutes.

Mechanisms of Action

• the illumination of the blood in the treatment
  chamber destroys or alters bacteria and viruses
  in the extracted blood in such a way as to
  provoke a reaction by the immune system upon its
  return to the body, which in turn destroys most
  or all of the other bacteria or virus in the body
• the activation of 4-5 percent of the blood then
  spreads throughout the entire volume of the blood
  upon reinfusion, and the induced secondary
  emissions (biophotons are emitted by the
  activated cells. An incoming photon in photon
  therapy excites an electron to a higher energy
  level. When the electron drops back to its
  original level, it in turn emits a secondary
  photon.) destroy virus, bacteria, and-in
  autoimmune diseases-activated white blood cells.
  It is not clear to what extent the secondary
  emissions in photon therapy are immediate
  (fluorescent) or delayed (phosphorescent)
• the treatment itself, though quite modest in
  intensity, has an impact on the autonomic nervous
  system (hence the frequent instances of flushing
  of the skin) and is perceived as a
  threat/stimulus by the entire immune system,
  which springs into action and thereby contributes
  to destroying bacteria or virus.

• Bacteria and viruses are more vulnerable to
  biophotonic emissions than are somatic cells.
  Photon therapy forms pyrimidine dimers and
  otherwise disrupts the DNA of microorganisms. In
  contrast, as long as somatic cells are not
  metabolically active, they have the capability of
  withstanding modest amounts of biophotons emitted
  by blood cells.
• Photon therapy stimulates the activity of white
  blood cells on the other, excess amounts destroy
  various white blood cells. This second point
  suggests a reason why photon therapy seems so
  effective against autoimmune diseases. In
  autoimmune disorders it appears that the
  metabolically active T-cells and other immune
  cells absorb much greater numbers of biophotons
  than ordinary body cells, and this destroys them,
  thus slowing down or stopping the disease.
  Activated T-cells in particular are prone to
  absorb secondary biophotons following photon
  therapy as a source of energy just as they absorb
  at a very high rate glucose and other
  energy-bearing molecules.

BACTERIAL MEMBRANE DESTRUCTION

• This picture proves that bacterium are
  susceptible to destruction once exposed to UV
  pulse modulation irradiation. Viruses which are
  smaller than bacteria are readily destroyed by
  fragmentation.

Rationale and Method of Treatment

• The Knott technique of blood irradiation
  (approved by the American Blood Irradiation
  Society) achieves the following physiologic
  objectives
•  
•          Increases the blood oxygen level
•          Increase phagocytosis (white blood cell
  activity)
•          Relieves toxemia,
•          Decreases edema (swelling)
•          Controls nausea and vomiting.
•  
• The treatment consists of withdrawing blood
  from the patient and by use of the Knott
  hemo-irradiator, exposing it to radiant energy
  between the wave lengths of 2,399 and 3,900
  angstrom units as it passes through the
  irradiation unit at a predetermined rate. The
  blood is returned to the patient through the
  needle used for the initial venipuncture (IV).
  The entire system is closed meaning the
  patients blood never leaves the tubing or the
  bottle and is simply returned back into the vein
  after passing through the UV device. Treatment
  requires 15-60 minutes depending on the amount of
  blood treated and how fast the blood flows. After
  the treatment, 15 minutes of rest is required,
  after which time the patient may resume whatever
  activity is permitted by his or her Woodlands
  Healing Research Center physician.
