Non-Healing Wounds
6 cases of non-healing wounds – all appeared to respond very well to UBI

Biliary Disease
Biliary Disease encompasses a wide spectrum of disorders caused by abnormalities in bile composition. Dr Olney treated 383 patients with this disease in the mid 1940s. 3 almost moribund, 5 very severe, 264 chronic without stones and 56 chrinic with stones, 55 chronic cholangitis and hepatitis, gall bladder previously removed.
The three almost moribund all recovered 2 left the hospital in 24 and 18 days and were in good health one year later. 4 of the 5 of the severe recovered without an operation. The others in the groups had good recoveries some with operations. He reported that UBI had great effects in limiting peritonitis, ileus, pain, pulmonary complications and phlebitis.
Olney, R.C. (1946). "Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation, Knott Method, in Biliary Disease," American Journal of Surgery 72:235-7
In 1950 Dr Rebbeck reported similar successes. Comparing 110 who had UBI and 226 others who did not.
Excessive nausea, vomiting and use of untubation in the UBI - 2.7% control – 33.1%
Excessive abdominal distension – UBI – 11.8% control - 28.8%
Temperatures above 102 - UBI – 15.4% control - 32.3%
Mortality – UBI - .09% Control - 2.2%

Another study had 45 healthy controls and 130 patientss with acute cholecustitis – 85 received LBI and 40 standard medications. Researchers found that LBI significantly superior to standard therapy.

Pancreatitis
14 cases of necrotizing pancreatitis – 10 with hemorrhagic pancreonecrosis , 8 were in serious condition with symptoms of enzymatic toxemia. No controls were used. After a barrage of other therapies failed to produce results they were given 1ml per KG of body weight of UBI donor plasma. Levels of enzymatic toxemia dropped by more than 2 times to near normal levels – 5-6 hrs after the infusion. Insulin resistance declined and other indicators improve.

In another study 65 patients with acute pancreatitis were treated with an average of 1.5 UBI treatments pre and post operative. Some were treated with UBI and had no surgery. Researchers found that in UBI patients – appetites improved, tachycardia lessened, fever declines and lab results normalized. Evidence of immunostimulation was present with no side effects from the UBI. The study is flawed because its lack of controls and the low number of UBI treatments.
Filin, V.I., Koval’chuk, V.I., Kravets, V.N., “UBIof Patients with Acute Pancreatits [Russina],” Klinicheskaia Khirurgiia 11 (1984), pp 28-29
In a third study, with 60 patients 47 had chronic pancreatitis and 13 acute pancreatitis, patients received 5-7 LBI treatments following failure of standard drugs. 92% saw pain reduction and vomiting, 83% lessened nausea, 87% improved appetite, 83% reduction of belly distention. As an indicator of improved functioning pancreas, in the acute cases the level of amylase in the urine dropped from 1826.82 +/- 401.4 to 52.77 +/- 4.9 g/l (p<.05)

Peritonitis
Early American studies – 1942 with 72 patients (no controls) with 29 who had tried and failed sulfa therapy were divided in to three groups. All were treated with UBI, 40 with general peritonitis, 20 with abdominal abscesses and 12 females with multiple pelvic abscesses and severe pelvic peritonitis. 43 had moderately advanced peritonitis – all fo these recovered after UBI treatments. 29 were apparently moribund of these 9 out of 17 recovered in group recovered, 4 out of 7 of the second group and 6 out of 9 of the third group. The other moribund patients died, two of sigmoid carcinoma. The researchers noted that UBI treatments rapidly resolved papalytic ileus and led to rapid detoxification.
Miley, G.P., Rebbeck, E.W. (1943). "The Knott Technique of Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation as a Control of Infection in Peritonitis," Review of Gastroenterology 10:1:1-28
More recent study 35 patients with disseminated peritonitis found that with UBI treatment it reduced the mortality to 4 out of 35 vs. 10 out of 37 in the control group who were treated with standard combination therapy but without UBI. The UBI group also saw a sharp increase in the number of T-cells (60%) as well asa decrease in circulating immunocomplexes (36.5%). Patients received about 3 treatments each.
Ashurov, B.M, et al., “UBI in the Treatment of Disseminated Peritonitis [Russian], “Khirurgiia (1997), No 4, pp 44-47
Kidney Disease
12 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis without disruption of kidney failure were treated with LBI. Favorable results incurred. Proteinuria dropped from 1.34 to 0.71, 7 patients with hypertonic disease saw a reduction in systolic blood pressure from 180 ot 145.2 and diastolic from 118.4 to 88.5
Izhevsk, “Use of Low-Intensity lasers in Experimental and clinical Medicine [Russian] (1994) pp 44
LBI treatment in 61 chronic pyelonephritis patients – 67.4% had urolithiasis and 32.6 adenoma of the prostate.
Group 1 got standard antibiotic therapy – success rate 20.0%
Group 2 - 11 got local laser therapy – success rate 57.1%
Group 3 – 33 got LBI - success rate 64.3%
Researchers concluded that LBI shows “bactericidal action, activated the metabolism of substances and improved microcirculation and rheological properties of the blood. It leads to the removal of all hypoxia, it effects the release of a cascade of the patient’s own central and peripheral autoregulating systems adaptation, which medical substances do not.”

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 ened 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.

Burns
87 Patients with burnis 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.
