Photo-Oxidation Therapy Return Articles List
by Dr. Phoebe Chow, N.D.
What is P.O.T.?
P.O.T. is ultraviolet irradiation of the blood. It is a natural healing method that has been used for over 30 years by hundreds of European physicians. P.O.T. is safe, non-toxic, and very effective.
How is P.O.T. administered?
The medical procedure is as follows: 60-100 cc. of blood are collected by vein puncture into a 60 cc. syringe or an I.V. bag which is connected to silicon and glass tubing. the blood flows through the tubing and passes across an ultraviolet light and collected in the syringe or I.V. bag. From this container it is re-infused. The procedure takes approximately 25 minutes. All equipment is sterile and is disposed of after each use.
When is P.O.T. indicated?
Biological photo-oxidation creates high energy molecules in the blood that oxygenates and electrically charges the body. The result is a cleansing and healing effect. Weak and damaged cells are cleansed; viruses, fungi, bacteria are killed, and circulation is enhanced. P.O.T. is reported to help inhibit cancer growth.
Medical applications for P.O.T.:
Viral illness - Flu, hepatitis, herpes, AIDS
Microbial illness - Infections, gangrene, fungus
Ensures - Burns, radiation, wounds
Supplemental therapy for:
Chronic illness - M.S., colitis, Crohn's disease, cancer
Circulatory - Disturbances and obstructions
Eye disease - When caused by poor circulation
Geriatric - With old-age phenomena P.O.T. produces well-being
Radiation and chemotherapy - Are better tolerated and side effects are reduced when supplemented by P.O.T.
The basic treatment series is recommended to be taken 2 times per week for 5 weeks, then monthly thereafter as needed and/or for prevention. The biological cycle that P.O.T. produces is reported to remain active for over 10 months.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES IN REQUESTING/ACCEPTING P.O.T. THERAPY
It is very important that you:
1. Assist your body in eliminating waste and toxins that will be flushed by this therapy. You should drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of live water daily, preferable between meals. We recommend water treated by reverse osmosis.
2. Have at least one bowel elimination daily. Take an herbal laxative if necessary such as senna leaves.
3. A quick daily walk in fresh air while breathing deeply is energizing, cleansing, and healing for your body. As you walk and breath, focus on the beauty of nature around you. Visualize how your body, mind and spirit is part of the wholeness of the universe. this assists you in healing your emotional and physical energies.
4. Additional exercise with a rebounder facilitates lymph drainage. 5-10 minutes each time, and 3-4 sessions daily.
5. Bathe your body daily and rub your skin vigorously with a terry washcloth or lufa.
6. Avoid taking large amounts of anti-oxidant supplements that may hinder the oxidation process the day of your treatment. These include vitamins: beta- carotene, C, E, selenium, and (S.O.D.) Superoxide dismutase.
Note: Do take added enzymes and minerals and celtic sea salt as recommended, as they help facilitate energizing processes, which will be activated by P.O.T.
*** MOST IMPORTANTLY, EAT HEALTHY FOOD! ***
The P.O.T. treatment series can be unparalleled in doing its job to help cleanse and energize your physical body, provided the above requirements are met by you, the recipient, in many cases, other specific therapies are also necessary to target stubborn problems, but P.O.T. is a valuable supplement to assist any other treatment.
Easing Menopause and Reversing Lyme Disease Return Articles List

How Oxygen and Light Can Heal The fourth element of Dr. Bock's approach to reversing Ada's Lyme disease is called oxidative therapy and photo-ox therapy. The first involves oxygen, the second, light. An oxidative therapy delivers a measured amount of powerful oxidants (highly reactive molecules involved in energy production) in the form of medical ozone (03) or hydrogen peroxide (H202).
For example, white blood cells will use intravenously infused hydrogen peroxide to destroy undesirable microorganisms, explains Dr. Bock. He notes that oxidative therapies are presently controversial, not because they are harmful, but because they are not well understood by conventional doctors.
Photo-ox therapy refers to a combination of intravenous hydrogen peroxide or ozone and ultraviolet blood irradiation (UVB). The two together produce a synergistic effect which is why Dr. Bock finds the combination especially useful for his most chronically ill patients; in Ada's case, it was an alternative (or complement) to the antibiotic regimen, as the oxygen the therapy delivers helps kill the pathogenic bacteria.
UVB appears to be highly effective in treating persistent viruses and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, says Dr. Bock. Not only can it kill unwanted microbes, but it adds oxygen to the system, improves the energy producing activities (called oxidative metabolism) at a cellular level, and, paradoxically, elevates the levels of antioxidants capable of fighting free radicals.
During the UVB treatment, a small amount of the patient's blood (100 cc or 1/2 cup) is drawn from the body and exposed to ultraviolet energy; this energy changes the molecular structure of the oxygen in the blood sample to one that is therapeutically more valuable. When the irradiated blood is reinfused into the patient, this altered form of oxygen circulates throughout the body.
Ada received photo-ox treatments three times weekly -- 15 treatments in all -- and during this time Dr. Bock reduced her antibiotic intake. "When you treat Lyme disease with antibiotics in a patient who has yeast infections, the Candida infestation gets worse. But when you use oxidative therapies, you can subdue and eliminate both the Lyme bacteria and the Candida."
Quick Definition
Oxygen therapies involve the use of oxygen and can be used in various forms to promote healing and to destroy pathogens in the body. Oxygen-based therapies treat a variety of conditions, including cancer, infections, circulatory problems, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, allergies, and multiple sclerosis. There are two principle types of oxygen therapy, classified according to the chemical process involved. Oxygenation is the process of enriching the oxygen content of the blood or tissues. One oxygenation therapy is called hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which introduces oxygen to the body in a pressurized chamber. Oxygenation employed under strictly controlled conditions can have positive therapeutic effects. The second type of oxygen therapy is called oxidation, which is a chemical reaction occurring when electrons (negatively charged particles) are transferred from one molecule to another. Not all oxidants are free radicals. Although uncontrolled oxidation can be destructive -- as is the case when free radicals are produced in excess -- it can also be therapeutic when carefully used on weak and devitalized cells.
