Ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy (UBIT)
I found the book and copied the information:
"Ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy is said to improve oxygenation of tissue, help with inflammation, stimulate immune system and fight viral infection. This treatment, which has been approved by the FDA consists of bombaring the blood with ultraviolet light. It appears to render the virus inactive. This treatment is offered by Bradford Research Institute in Chula Vista, CA."
I have no idea how long it takes or what it costs. This is all I know.

I was gone for 2 days. That paragraph is in the Prescription for Nutritional Healing under Heapatitis C. Sorry I don't have the page number. It is the latest edition.
i dont know if the cures ive read about using ozone therapy are real or not but from personal experience with my own homemade ozone machine i got rid of a case of bronchitis in 48 hours. when i was born the doctors thought i would die from bronchitis and barely pulled through so it was stupid of me to take up smoking but i did.
no i still havent quit..but knowing the doctor was going to send me home tell me to drink plenty of fluids and rest and wait for 2 months for the bronchitis to leave wasnt very appealing to me,especially with christmas just around the corner and lots of bills coming due i did some research and decided ozne was the way to go.
i still dont know how much ozone my machine makes but after kicking a case of bronchitis in 2 days that i expected to last 2 months got me convinced to keep up the treatments to cure several other problems ive had..since then my hydradenitis has dissapeared and my lungs are feeling better than they have in years!
to top it off.. i took the machine with me over christmas to my sisters to show it to her and discovered that about an hour before i arrived she had burned her hand pretty badly during cooking.. after having her rinse the hand with water to get off the gel antiseptic she had put on it and having her slip a bread bag over the hand i put the ozone tube in the bag and closed it off with a rubber band around her wrist..after 3 minutes she announced that the pain had stopped..i let it run for another 5 minutes or so and then removed the bag..for the rest of the night she had no more pain (she had been worried about whether she was gonna be able to work the next day it was bothering her so bad when i arrived) 2 nights later i called her to ask how the hand was and i was informed that the hand had completely healed without even leaving much of a scar within 48 hours. so much for the idea of not finding anyone that has experienced treatments with ozone.

My statement above was pertaining to those who had hepatitis C, not bronchitis or "hand burns". That's why I said "I've been researching HCV, its treatments and talking to various folks for years on and off about it. I've never seen, met or encountered any bonafide person who was cured of HCV by ozone therapy." This particular forum is for those with hepatitis or liver problems, not bronchitis or hand burns (in case you were confused, which you obviously are).
Also, although I don't know much about bronchitis, I seriously doubt your ozone generator magically cured you of a long term, persistent, clinical case of bronchitis. I also definitely don't believe that your sister's burned hand was helped appreciably by your "ozone therapy". I can see where it might provide a temporary beneficial antibacterial action if her burn were actually oozing or had an open sore. But then a good cleaning and an antibacterial cream (bacitracin etc) would work better for that anyway (unless you wanted to walk around with an ozone machine strapped to your hand all day). And I'm also skeptical that your ozone machine would actually act as an anesthetic as you claim. I remember reading about some guy that filed a patent for that application, but to my knowledge no reputable scientific trials or research have been conducted that demonstrates that to be true. (and if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me by providing *scientifically legitimate* data that proves this is true).
But anesthesia aside, you should be aware that ozone is actually considered an air pollutant that is potentially harmful to the respiratory system. Being that you have bronchitis, I would suspect that's of some import to you. Ozone is an unstable charged molecule and when it dissociates into diatomic oxygen it becomes free radicalized. A free radical is an electrically charged molecular fragment that can be highly reactive with many substances, especially organic substances. This reactivity gives free radicals the ability to alter the DNA of cells, possibly in a very harmful manner that may provoke cancer. Considering you apparently are huffing this ozone on a frequent basis, I'd imagine that might be important for you to know. Here's an excerpt from a wikapedia link provided below, please read it. And by all means research it elsewhere on the internet (outside of the alternative treatment echo chamber sites).

"Ozone in air pollution
There is a great deal of evidence to show that high concentrations (ppm) of ozone, created by high concentrations of pollution and daylight UV rays at the earth's surface, can harm lung function and irritate the respiratory system.[15][22] A connection has also been shown to exist between increased ozone caused by thunderstorms and hospital admissions of asthma sufferers.[23] Air quality guidelines such as those from the World Health Organization are based on detailed studies of what levels can cause measurable health effects.
A common British folk myth dating back to the Victorian era holds that the smell of the sea is caused by ozone, and that this smell has "bracing" health benefits.[24] Neither of these is true. The characteristic "smell of the sea" is not caused by ozone, but by the presence of dimethyl sulfide generated by phytoplankton, and dimethyl sulfide, like ozone, is toxic in high concentrations.[25]
The United States Environmental Protection Agency has developed an Air Quality index to help explain air pollution levels to the general public. 8-hour average ozone concentrations of 85 to 104 ppbv are described as "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups", 105 ppbv to 124 ppbv as "unhealthy" and 125 ppb to 404 ppb as "very unhealthy".[26] The EPA has designated over 300 counties of the United States, clustered around the most heavily populated areas (especially in California and the Northeast), as failing to comply with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
Physiology of ozone
Ozone, along with reactive forms of oxygen such as superoxide, singlet oxygen (see oxygen), hydrogen peroxide, and hypochlorite ions, is naturally produced by white blood cells and other biological systems (such as the roots of marigolds) as a means of destroying foreign bodies. Ozone reacts directly with organic double bonds. Also, when ozone breaks down to dioxygen it gives rise to oxygen free radicals, which are highly reactive and capable of damaging many organic molecules. Ozone has been found to convert cholesterol in the blood stream to plaque (which causes hardening and narrowing of arteries). Moreover, it is believed that the powerful oxidizing properties of ozone may be a contributing factor of inflammation. The cause-and-effect relationship of how the ozone is created in the body and what it does is still under consideration and still subject to various interpretations, since other body chemical processes can trigger some of the same reactions. A team headed by Dr. Paul Wentworth Jr. of the Department of Chemistry at the Scripps Research Institute has shown evidence linking the antibody-catalyzed water-oxidation pathway of the human immune response to the production of ozone. In this system, ozone is produced by antibody-catalyzed production of trioxidane from water and neutrophil-produced singlet oxygen.[27] See also trioxidane for more on this biological ozone-producing reaction.
Ozone has also been proven to form specific, cholesterol-derived metabolites that are thought to facilitate the build-up and pathogenesis of atherosclerotic plaques (a form of heart disease). These metabolites have been confirmed as naturally occurring in human atherosclerotic arteries and are categorized into a class of secosterols termed “Atheronals”, generated by ozonolysis of cholesterol's double bond to form a 5,6 secosterol as well as a secondary condensation product via aldolization.[28] Ozone has been implicated to have an adverse effect on tree growth, perhaps as serious as that due to acid rain[1]
Ozone therapy
Ozone therapy has been used in alternative medicine as a medical treatment in a number of different countries.[42] Its use, however, is controversial.[43] The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned ozone generators or ozone gas from being marketed for treatment of any medical conditions, based on the toxicity of ozone and the lack of scientific evidence for any beneficial effects at non-toxic levels.[2] One couple, Kenneth R. Thiefault and Mardel Barber, were convicted of and sent to prison in 1999 for violating this ban, which involved marketing ozone generators to cure AIDS, cancer, herpes, hepatitis, gangrene, or "almost any disease", without presenting any evidence to the FDA of effectiveness or safety.[44]
However, it is worth noting that the FDA cannot allow any device to claim to treat a medical condition unless the device and treatment have gone through rigorous trials. It is not illegal to sell medical-grade ozone machines in the US, nor is it illegal to own one or use one. What is illegal is to sell them while claiming it treats disease. Many people use ozone therapy in the US, despite its unrecognized status with the FDA and the medical establishment. It is legal to sell or own a medical-grade ozone machine in the US. It is also legal to administer ozone to oneself. Whether practitioners can administer or recommend the use of ozone presents a more complex issue."

firstly,
i am sorry i happened to invade your forum. it was a mistake.
since ive been administering my ozone therapy i have been
researching it in depth attempting to cull the facts from
the horror stories and in this case i was doing a search
for horror stories by patients of ozone therapy.
trouble is. I CANT FIND ANY!
what i HAVE found is positive testimonials for several other
conditions that have been treated with ozone and a MASSIVE
amount of data referring to MISCONCEPTIONS about ozone!
here is only one of them:
http://www.oxygentherapyexperts.com/Testimony/indextest.htm
most of it created for and by drug companies and those that stand
to benefit by the suppression of a cheap effective medical
treatment that would drive them out of buisness!
and it doesnt help when nbc does a documentary on ozone therapy
going to a quack that doesnt know what he is doing to document
his failures!
after what i have personally experienced you are welcome to
discount my claims as i too was skeptical of the claims of the
ozone therapy sites until i tried it..i had little choice..
either wait 2 months to heal(smoking during bronchitis does
not help you heal!) or try something radical!
i personally do not care what people i do not know do to
treat themselves medically.but after what i have experienced
i am convinced of ozones potential medically and am also
convinced that if medical science was more interested in the truth
than in the almighty dollar my mother would have known about ozone
thirty years ago and would be alive today because of it!
she died over twenty years ago from a combination of conditions
and the most important of those being allopathic medicine!
all of the conditions she suffered from,colitis,thyroid problems,diabetes,
to name a few have all been treated with ozone successfully in the
literature ive perused.
and just in case anyone else is interested here you can find
data on treating hcv with ozone:
http://www.triroc.com/sunnen/topics/hepc.htm
and this site may be influenced by its desire to sell ozone
equipment but i have used the therapies they describe to
heal myself:
http://www.appliedozone.com/medical.html
as well as this site:
http://educate-yourself.org/ozone/
and this one:
http://nenahsylver.com/default.asp?contentID=887&toplevel=674
i guess i should also mention i have always been skeptical of
doctors and allopathic medicine.mainly because their data is all
based on the theory that human beings are the end result of billions
of years of evolutionary processes which is WRONG!
I Beleive we were all created in gods image and that we are all the
descendants of the first man and woman god created in the garden of eden!
i also believe that god gave us the perfect diet consisting of
mainly fruits and vegetables including the seeds (which by the way is
where we get laetrille, from the seeds of the apricot. this ALSO works
but has been suppressed by the fda which is owned by the drug companies.
how do you patent and sell apricot seeds?)
in the final analysis i give you some food for thought.
many people in the research ive seen refused homeopathic treatments
at first relying on allopathic medicine to cure them and either died
or came to near death before accepting ozone therapy.
some waited too long and even ozone couldnt help them beyond that point.
on the other hand..i cant find any instances where ozone has killed or
maimed anyone..if it cant hurt you and no one that has actually HAD the
therapy but wasnt helped by it arent saying anything...WHY?

Meet you made it your UND and I missed the thread! DANG of all the time to be home sick and here you are kicking viral A$$ - you KNOW I've been waiting to see this day for a long time!!!!!!!!
Congrats - that is just such huge news!!!!!!!
Congrats - that is just such huge news!!!!!!!
nygirl hey thanks for the kind words! But this thread is almost a year old, the UND VL I referred to above was after finally being unblinded after the 20th week of treatment (VX950 trial rules). I was still in treatment at the time and wouldn't stop until June. But the good news is now I'm 6 months post tx and still UND. So yes I'm in your club now, the SVR club! Anyway, a little confusing but a happy ending nonetheless. And the reason this old post resurfaced is because there are alternative treatment quacks and salesman who search for these specific subjects to see if they have been discussed. If anything negative is stated they sign up (usually just to make that one post) and respond in an attempt to put a positive spin on the subject and/or to direct people to commercial sites for the purposes of pimping their wares (like realchomp did above). This happens periodically with just about all of the most popular quackery which currently includes: cow glands (thymus), ultraviolet light therapy (UBIT), ozone therapy and colloidal silver. There are others of course, but these are the fab-four for HCV. Anyway, not to bore you ;-) Hopefully you're still recovering nicely and life after HCV is turning out great for you.
realchomp you're not supposed to post commercial sites on this forum for the purposes of selling quackery. And in the event you’re just some misguided person with chronic bronchitis, if I were you I’d stop huffing those free radicals coming out of your ozone machine and I’d also stop smoking cigarettes too. To do otherwise may land you a first class Darwinian visit (in the form of lung cancer), sooner than you might imagine.
