Hi Teri,
As I understand it, with the standard photophenesis they treat the white cells
with a drug during the process. Sorry to hear it didn't have a more positive
effect. Don't know if hydrogen peroxide would work better or not. I have read
where ozone is used in a simular process with great effects. Some times the
simple products out preform costly drugs. We are learning that all the time
with the current failure of antibotics in many situations. Good luck. Hope your
husband gets better soon.

Paula,
We have the UVB light machine in our house and Gary was treated with
Photopheresis at Yale. But his cancer did not respond to that treatment. After
two years of Photopheresis he advanced from being 2B to Sezary this past
January after taking MMS. Now they want to do a transplant. Those other
treatment are not new at all.

Terri,
In the Dr. Jonathan V. Wright newsletter this month he talked about a new
treatment for cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma involving a UV light therapy that has
been successful. The therapy is called UVBI and is very safe and effective and
also relatively inexpensive. (it is used for serious infections and other
diseases as well). It involves ultraviolet blood irradiation. I think they have
a device that draws the blood out bathes it in the ultraviolet light and then
puts it back in the body. It is often accompaied by UVBI therapy with hydrogen
peroxide which acts as a "synergist" to increase the effectiveness. They do the
procedure at the Tahoma Clinic. Phone (425) 264-0059. You could check with
www.acam.org or phone 888-439-6891 to find a clinic near you, if your husband
and you are interested.
