Using PDT to build the immune system to speed up the recovery process before and after any surgery!
PDT is an ideal adjuvant therapy especially when the risk of local failure is high, as in gastrointestinal and prostate surgery for example. A review of the treatment of more than 310 patients concluded that there is a clear trend towards improved recovery when PDT is used along with surgery.
Photodynamic means activated by photons (light). The photo sensitizer is the substance that is activated.
As stated, Photodynamic therapy is to treat the whole body. This is only possible because the photo sensitizer is highly selective and the body can now be safely exposed to light, The therapy can be repeated as often as required. This is because the photo sensitizer has very low toxicity before it is exposed to light. The body treats it as a food. Once activated, it is toxic, but only to the cells it is in. Thus the photo sensitizer acts as a 'Trojan horse'. Compare this with radiation therapy, where the larger the dose, the greater the damage to normal cells as well as to cancer cells. Also compare it to chemotherapy, where the body correctly treats these drugs as toxins; it eventually learns to resist them, and chemotherapy ceases to be effective.
After the photo sensitizer / agent is administered orally, light of specific wavelengths are then applied to the affected area or the entire body to activate the agent
How does it work?
Think of your body as a delicate balance of chemicals with a natural bias towards the Alkaline side All the simple carb`s you eat tip the balance towards the acid side of the scale allowing modern day ailments to take a foot hold. By using PDT you are starting to tip the balance back to a more natural position allowing your body to start the natural self recovery process. Each time your body processes an Acid based food you send your immune system to sleep for up to 6 hours at a time and thus allow imperfections to take over . Using PDT reverses this tendency and restores the natural way of life to your bodily systems restoring health.
