A Midwestern Doctor. UBVI and Laetrile.

I keep getting sidetracked. Today I was planning to record my two videos on nuclear reactors for electricity. The first will be on how it works – pretty simple. The second will be how it has been hindered from working for 60 years. That's politics.

What sidetracked me? Another article from A Midwestern Doctor. It is incredible how prolific this man is. If it is just one man – he remains anonymous, and I am sure he has a lot of help. The pieces he produces average about 20 pages and each of them is worth reading to the end.

Today's piece is about using ultraviolet blood irradiation (UVBI) to treat a vast array of conditions.   It is a noninvasive therapy developed by the Soviet Union. In particular, the article above claims almost miraculous recoveries from sepsis, a common hospital induced illness. The article says it is still widely used in the former Soviet Union and in Germany. Searching in Ukrainian I find that to be the case.

The original, and still most common treatment involved routing blood through a catheter to a device where it could be subjected to ultraviolet light before returning it in another catheter. However, it can also be accomplished by simply putting a laser someplace where the arteries run close to the surface of the body, such as the back of one's knee. There is a small difference – lasers emit light at only one frequency whereas a UV light bulb emits light over a wide range of wavelengths longer than red light.

However it is done, inside or outside the body, with laser or UV light, it is pretty totally nonintrusive. The question would be, why isn't it done more often? The answer the doctor offers is simple and credible. Not enough money in it. My cynicism has been sharpened over the past four years to the point that I readily believe him.

I find that the laser approach, нлок in Ukrainian, is available in Minsk but not here.  The catheter approach, ВЛОК, is readily available here in Kiev.  There are also several clinics throughout the United States that offer it. The fact that it involves going to a doctor's office for a series of treatments means there is money in it. I do not see why nobody is selling a laser device to use for the noninvasive treatment. Perhaps if I looked harder I would find one.

While on the subject, the doctor mentioned Laetrile. I had been hearing about this since my childhood as a popular quack treatment for cancer that people went to Mexico to get. The Internet tells me that it is generally not harmful but ineffective. There are some dark warnings that because it is made from peach pits it contains high levels of arsenic. Whatever the case, you can't get it in the United States and people still line up to go to Mexico for treatment.

It has been demonstrated to my satisfaction that the public health agencies in the United States are far more interested in protecting vested financial interests than us the public. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are highly lucrative procedures. The fact that they don't work very well means that any customer they get is a customer for life. The allegation is that big Pharma simply doesn't want competition.

An Internet search turns up quite a bit on the topic of Laetrile as well. Here is a typical piece.  Inasmuch as most of you, my readership, are of an age at which cancer is a concern, let me tell you that Laetrile is available here in Ukraine. This is the first pharmacy that came up in a search. You should thank your government agencies for demonstrating that it is at least not dangerous. If you think it might be useful, why not try it?

Having written this much, I am inspired to put together a Toastmasters speech covering not only these topics but AZT, midazolam, Remdesivir, intravenous vitamin C, Vitamin D and many other topic in which the interests of profits and your health seem to be at odds.   The thread that runs through all of it is that one should recognize that "experts" have agendas different from yours.  Often purely pecuniary. You should always use the Internet to double check whatever therapy they suggest, and see if there are alternatives.

As a shortcut, I would suggest subscribing to A Midwestern Doctor on SubStack and learning how to search his articles.  Click on Archive.  Click on the magnifying glass far to the right of "Latest."  Where you see "Search People and Posts" enter a keyword, such as autoimmune or remdesivir.  It presents you a number of articles in which the keyword appears.

As an afterthought, the doctor mentioned another medical innovation that has been suppressed by the medical powers that be. A cure for insomnia

Why Isn't There a Cure for Insomnia?

That's the news from Lake WeBeGone, where we exposed the children to chicken pox last Wednesday.  The incubation period is up in a couple of days – we'll see what happens.  Meanwhile, the baby sitter is staying away.  I took the kids to the zoo yesterday, Toastmasters the day before and the market before that.  Today it will probably be just the beach.
