The amazing healing power of light
Who Needs Drugs When
|
“The Only Side Effect is Chronic Good Health”
That’s what Australian researchers reported after gathering case studies from doctors who used this natural compound in the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Recent studies indicate that this therapy shows promise in destroying cancer cells, leaving healthy ones unharmed. One Florida oncologist reported that in 30 out of his 40 patients with stage 4 cancers, this common compound shrunk tumors by half or more. Why did the mainstream turn its back on this safe and effective cancer treatment? Discover the answer and how to get all the details on the treatment, HERE. |
Mr. Lowe cited some remarkable stats at the 40th Annual Convention of the Cancer Control Society in September of 2012:
- UBI therapy is backed by 70 years of history
- It boasts virtually no side effects
- Treatment is relatively inexpensive
- The efficacy rate falls between 60 and 80 percent
On top of that, ultraviolet blood irradiation has demonstrated a positive effect on over 60 diseases. And according to William Campbell Douglass, author of a book about UBI therapy called Into the Light, it has brought about remarkable results in both prompting cancer remission and extending the lives of patients who have been diagnosed with cancer.
Powerful healing results first seen
seven decades ago
seven decades ago
Though most commonly known as UBI, or ultraviolet blood irradiation, this is a treatment that goes by scores of other names: Biophotonic therapy, photo-oxidation therapy, photopheresis, ultraviolet blood therapy or UVB, hematologic oxidative therapy, extracorporeal photopheresis, and photo-luminescence.
It first came about in 1928 when Emmitt K. Knott, a scientist, began experimenting with light. He assisted in the case of a woman dying of sepsis (infection). Knowing that light kills bacteria and viruses, he withdrew a small amount of her blood, exposed it to light, put it back in her body, and miraculously, the woman lived.
The treatment was studied for the next two decades by scientists at prestigious schools like Georgetown University. A Dr. Henry Barrett reported treating over 110 cases of disease with UBI by 1940. The treatment was even cited in a 1949 issue of Time Magazine, which called it the “miracle of the future.”
But then the 1950s hit and all attention in the medical world began to focus on antibiotics and vaccines as the main tools to fight infections. However, in Russia and Germany, practitioners have continued to take an interest in UBI. Currently around 3,000 European providers offer it to their patients. The U.S. has only around 250 practitioners skilled in UBI treatment.
Twenty years ago, Yale University reignited interest in UBI after using it to treat T-cell lymphoma. The researchers even got FDA approval for the treatment. From there, Johnson & Johnson purchased and named it TherakosTM Photopheresis System. They now administer it in over 200 centers around the world and have treated more than 600,000 patients. Cost ranges between $2,500 and $4,000 per treatment, and patients require an average of 10 treatments total.
That’s interesting because, according to Tom Lowe, you only need a minimum of four treatments (depending on your illness). And many alternative doctors will give you the treatment for a much lower price.
Not to beat around the bush: $2,500- $4,000 per treatment is a ripoff. Mainstream medicine strikes again!
How UV light supercharges the immune system
Here’s how it works: Using a butterfly needle and a syringe, between 40 and 60 cubic centimeters (cc) of blood is withdrawn from your arm. Then it gets mixed with saline solution and passes through 26 seconds of ultraviolet light before being re-infused back into your body.
That’s it. As you can see, this isn’t a $4,000 procedure. But it does deliver $4,000 of value!
The logic behind diluting the blood is that one study showed light couldn’t penetrate more than five blood cells deep (30 microns, or 1 ml). So diluting the blood makes the therapy much easier to administer, not to mention more effective. The calculated mixture works out to be about 12 percent blood and 88 percent saline, which still absorbs 99.9 percent of the UV light. It also means less clotting time, a lower chance of problems, lower disposal quantities, and fewer staffing/nursing costs.
Now, we all know that putting something dank out in bright sunlight for a few hours is bound to kill the smell, lighten the stain, or eliminate bacterial spread. UBI treatment works the same way. The type of activated light from the 400-780 nanometer point on the visible spectrum (white light) flat-out kills bacteria and viruses.
UBI tears apart the DNA strands of the offending particles and sends them back into the body where they exhibit a vaccine-like response. Many people wonder why the treatment requires only 40 ccs of blood at one time, but researchers in this field counter by pointing out it only takes 1 cc of a vaccine to get an effective immune response.
It helps that bacteria and viruses in your bloodstream will absorb five times as much photonic energy as your red and white blood cells. That’s exactly how the UV light exposure kills infecting organisms. The fragments of those killed-off infectious agents are what stimulate the vaccination-like response in your body and go on to heighten your immune response. From there, your supercharged immune system is able to launch a new attack on harmful agents throughout the body.
Now of course, the body has to respond to the treatment. But assuming it does, then any form of virus or bacteria in your blood gets eradicated. And along with ramping up your immune system, the treatment also improves circulation and oxygenates tissues.
If you turn to UBI to treat an autoimmune disorder like lupus, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, or even a rash, it has a balancing effect that is helpful in 50 to 60 percent of cases. Other benefits to treatment include anti-inflammatory effects, stimulation of red blood cell production, and improvement in blood flow.
It’s even known to cure shingles in two days. Two days! If you’ve ever had shingles – one of the most painful diseases known – you can appreciate what a blessing it would have been to have access to this therapy.
It should be in every doctor’s office in the country – not in a mere 250. And it should cost maybe $100, not $4,000. (Again: The original UBI therapy offered by alternative doctors doesn’t cost anywhere near the price of Johnson & Johnson’s new FDA-approved boondoggle.)
UBI is definitely useful as a cancer therapy, though several practitioners recommend using it as part of a multi-pronged approach. It’s an ideal adjunctive therapy for cancer in that it adds oxygen to the body, cuts pain, reduces inflammation, and decreases infections. Lifestyle, immune system, nutrition, and detoxification all go hand-in-hand with UBI.
One to two treatments per month are recommended. And several practitioners also view ozone therapy (see Issue #226) as a treatment that complements the effects of UBI.
An ideal treatment to add
to any pro-health regimen
to any pro-health regimen
The biggest argument against UBI is that “light simply can’t do that.” And there’s very little new research about it, including dissenting comments. You won’t even find anything about it on Quackwatch, the website run by mainstream docs known for lambasting virtually all alternative therapies—both the good and bad ones.
To the best of my knowledge, UBI is a really effective therapy, and an absolutely safe one. So why aren’t more hospitals and doctors using it? For starters, there’s the ever-present challenge that it’s not mainstream, not officially accepted. There’s also a good dose of skepticism and ignorance out there, plus there’s not enough money to support more research. And of course, it’s not currently business-driven and is being held back as a widespread treatment by the FDA (although it’s not actually illegal -- doctors can legally administer UBI under section 21).
Is it worth a try? Absolutely. To learn more about where you can access treatment, visit http://www.drsubi.com/.

The evidence is now more compelling than ever that diabetes and cancer are closely related… much like two troublemaking siblings with no parents around to keep an eye on them.
This means that a great deal of cancer is preventable. It doesn’t just happen by chance. It doesn’t drop from a clear blue sky. You can prevent diabetes (and reverse it, if you already have it).
We’ve known for a long time that diabetes is linked to vascular (i.e. circulatory) complications. Think heart attack, stroke, blindness, gangrene and limb loss, kidney disease, and sexual dysfunctioni.
Probably this list won’t surprise you — given how many people have diabetes these days.
But now there’s an established linked between diabetes and non-vascular complications, like cancer, which don’t have much to do with your blood vessels. If you have diabetes, you’re not only more likely to get cancer… you’re also more likely to die from cancer.

But now there’s an established linked between diabetes and non-vascular complications, like cancer, which don’t have much to do with your blood vessels. If you have diabetes, you’re not only more likely to get cancer… you’re also more likely to die from cancer.
According to Pankaj Shah, M.D., at the Mayo Clinic, "Evidence suggests that these 2 common conditions coexist more often than would be expected to occur by chance."
That’s an understatement…
400% more pancreatic cancer,
300% more blood cancer…
300% more blood cancer…
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that 16 percent of diabetic men and 17 percent of diabetic women get cancer, versus just 7 and 10 percent respectively, in the overall population. That means for men, diabetes is associated with more than double the risk of cancer. For women, the cancer risk increase is about 70 percent.
Dr. Chaoyang Li from the CDC said that even after accounting for external factors like age, race, and smoking and drinking habits, diabetics are far more likely to get colon, pancreatic, rectum, urinary bladder, kidney, breast and prostate cancers than their non-diabetic counterparts.
The strength of the cancer-diabetes link depends on the type of cancer. The most dramatic increased risk is to pancreatic cancer…with diabetic men apparently 400 percent more likely to get pancreatic cancer than non-diabetics. In plain English, diabetes makes you five times as likely to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
And diabetic women are 300 percent more likely to develop blood cancer than non-diabetic women.

And far less likely to survive it…
And far less likely to survive it…
A 2008 study by diabetes expert Dr. Fred Brancati of Johns Hopkins showed that the death rate from cancer is about 40 percent higher in diabetics than in the general population.
The one exception to this general rule is prostate cancer. The data suggest that diabetes may actually be protective against prostate cancer — which seems like a mystery.
Personally, I’d opt to skip diabetes and take my chances with prostate cancer versus say, pancreatic… as prostate is a far less aggressive form of cancer.
The 3 primary "suspects" in
the cancer-diabetes connection
the cancer-diabetes connection
Once you realize there’s a connection between diabetes and cancer, the next logical question is, "What is the mechanism?"
Researchers cite three suspects:
Researchers cite three suspects:
- Insulin. Many researchers think high insulin is the primary culprit. Type-2 diabetics are insulin resistant. When you have diabetes, your body drives up its insulin production to compensate, often over a period of years. High insulin is associated with higher cancer risk. And in animals, high insulin is a growth factor for tumors.
Your pancreas makes insulin, which then goes straight to your liver… a key factor why these two organs have such high insulin levels. Some experts think that’s what makes these two organs so vulnerable to cancer.
High insulin also boosts sex hormone production by the ovaries, which may be the hidden link to ovarian, uterine, and breast cancers. A 2008 study suggests that people with higher than normal insulin receptors are at higher risk of cancer.
Harvard professor Edward Giovannucci, M.D. calls it a double whammy… Insulin encourages cell growth, discourages cell death, and boosts proliferation of cancer cells. At the same time, insulin also makes cancer cells more invasive and likely to spread. - Blood glucose. Though insulin is the primary suspect, high blood glucose may play a role too. It’s a well-known fact that cancer cells are adept at slurping up glucose from your bloodstream, no insulin required. Since glucose (sugar) fuels cancer, high blood sugar levels may feed cancer cell growth.
- Inflammation. Diabetics and those who are obese usually have signs of chronic inflammation, based on C-reactive protein and other inflammatory markers in their blood.
But there may be a couple of other culprits too. And some are related to these three "suspects".
How Well Do You Control These Secondary Factors?
There’s also the possibility of shared risk factors, that is, the same things may cause both cancer and diabetes. And it’s another "chicken or the egg factor"… No one knows for sure which comes first — the cancer or the diabetes.
Many people never even suspect they have diabetes until they’re screened for it after a cancer diagnosis. Sometimes sudden onset of diabetes occurs at the same time a person is diagnosed with cancer.
Which of the following shared risk factors do you have? While two of these are beyond your control, the other three are within your control.

Which of the following shared risk factors do you have? While two of these are beyond your control, the other three are within your control.
- Age. The older you are, the more at risk you are for both cancer and diabetes.
- Gender. Men get more cancer overall, and have a slightly higher diabetes risk.
- Weight. Can increase your risk for both conditions.
- Activity. Sedentary lifestyles can boost your risks of both.
- Smoking. It’s linked to several kinds of cancer, as well as type-2 diabetes.
Stubborn weight gain is one of your most obvious early hints of faulty insulin signaling and high blood sugar levels. Pay attention to this "advanced warning" now, and you may be able to avoid a world of regret later.
The hidden factor you probably won’t
hear about from your doctor
hear about from your doctor
In March 2013 the U.S. FDA announced it was investigating a potential link between a popular class of diabetes drugs called DPP-4 inhibitors and pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) and pre-cancerous cellular changes to the pancreasii. Previous studies also show these drugs are linked to thyroid, colon, melanoma, and prostate cancer.
These drugs, also known as incretin mimetics, work by mimicking incretin hormones. They inhibit the enzyme DPP-4, a natural tumor suppressor. As your blood sugar rises, these drugs prompt your pancreas to release insulin.
Here’s how they may cause cancer:
- DPP-4 is a natural tumor suppressor
- These drugs shut it down, so by taking them you continuously inhibit one of your body’s natural cancer suppressors.
- The drug information for Januvia, one of the drugs in this class, says it inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme for 24 hours. Patients are expected to take it daily, meaning the tumor suppressor is constantly shut down.
Therefore, you’ll want to ask yourself…
Do you need these drugs in the first place?
Today there’s overwhelming evidence that you own the ability to prevent and control diabetes without the use of any drugs in the first place. Entire books have been written about it.
In fact, simple lifestyle remedies exist for many health problems… while poorly tested drugs can cause disastrous results — like cancer — for millions.

Here are some lifestyle changes you can make to reverse your diabetes — and potentially save yourself from a cancer diagnosis as well.
- Slash carbohydrates from your diet (breads, cereals, pasta, rice…). You can eat almost unlimited portions of most vegetables without gaining weight, with the exception of higher-carb vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and beets, which you may want to limit. Limit portion sizes of other foods. This is also true for nearly every beverage besides water — soda, juices, alcoholic drinks, etc. Stay far away.
- Get at least 2 1/2 hours of moderately brisk exercise per week. It’s one of the best ways to reduce your insulin regulating problems. Why not start with a 30-minute walk after work every day? Besides being better insulin control, it’ll help you de-stress from your day.
- Get 6 to 8 hours of refreshing sleep every night. Sleep deprivation is strongly linked to both diabetes and cancer.
- Make sure your vitamin D levels are 50 to 70 ng/ml based on the 25(OH)D test. This range has been identified as best for optimal healthiii. Lower levels are associated with both cancer and diabetes.
- Make every effort to lose some weight and keep it off. Even a mere five or ten pounds can make a big difference. Obviously more is better, especially if you’re substantially above your ideal weight. Rejoice in small improvements, and don’t let jokes or criticism from other people bother you.
- Quit smoking if you’re a smoker. It is strongly linked to both diseases.
- Stick with your plan for 3 months. Expect incremental changes while your body adjusts to better insulin and blood sugar controls. This is a marathon to better health, not a sprint.
So here’s the bottom line:
Avoid diabetes, and your chances for sidestepping cancer dramatically improve.
