Severe Ischemic Heart Disease

 70 males , 32-79 yrs old.  All suffered from angina pectoris, 56 had had a heart attack.  These men had already failed to recover using intensive drug therapy. 7 treatments of UBI with no toxic effects noted.  All patients were observed for 2-16 months.

1. All patients were able to reduce nitroglycerin
2. Stenocardia was reduced
3. 46 were able to walk 1 km per day
4. 31 of 39 who had jobs were able to return to work
5. 7 patients died – 6 were over 60yrs old, 3 over 70

The results were assessed “outstanding” considering the serious condition of the patients. Improvement was attributed to improvements in microcirculation, vasodilation and oxygenation of the blood. There was also an effect of humoral immunity, lessening the postinfarct cardiosclerosis.

Intercardial LBI –during severe heart attacks – 30 patients received 5-7 treatments, 20 received drug treatment.  With the LBI stabilizing effect , power analgesic effect (33% pain was totally suppressed and 22% significantly reduced) narcotics were reduced to 1/8^th of normal levels and analgesics to 1/3.  After 2-3 hours LBI patients with intense pain was only 15% while with drugs the level was 45%.  There were no complications with the LBI therapy. 

Microcirculation improvement

Also, marked improvement in rheological properties of the blood. Viscosity dropped 30%, platelet aggregation by 25%, fribogen level by 20% leading to a 35% reduction in in general peripheral resistance and normalization of diastolic pressure. Stabilization of hemodynamic levels and more rapid resolution of the heath attack. This maintained for the 6 months of follow-up.

UBI within 6 hours of heart attack – 24 patients received drugs and UBI – 21 registered analgesic effect, 1 patient died. Following UBI incidents of extrasystole decreased sharply then tended to increase after 12-24 hours necessitating another UBI treatment.  No increase of arrhythmia occurred in fact UBI had an anti-arrhythmic effect, possibly because of the anti-ischemic action.

 Other Studies

In the collection by Ganelina, I.E. and K.A. Samoilova, eds. (1986). Mechanisms of the Influence of Blood Irradiated with Ultraviolet Rays on the Organisms of Humans and Animals [Russian], Leningrad: Nauka

Unpublished report but observations and case studies recorded the positive effects of UBI on acute coronary occlusion and congestive heart failure.  Quick use of UBI led to improved microcirculation and reduced inflammation of the heart muscle, reduced pain, cyanosis and dyspnea.  UBI given every few days usually led to overall improvement even with those who appeared to be terminal.

Atherosclerosis of the heart and lower Extremities - Beneficial Effects of UBI

1. Improved rheological characteristics of the blood
2. Improved microcirculation
3. Increased oxygenation of the blood
4. Raised levels of cholesterol and beta-lipoproteins

They then studied the impact of on the patients enzymes.  Using a control group of 13 healthy male and 54 patients – 25 had ischematic heart disease, 29 ischemic disease of the lower limbs.  15 heart and 11 lower limb patients received UBI (5-10 sessions) 12 of the 15 heart patients and 8 of the 11 lower limb patients benefited substantially.

Conclusion: UBI dosed with care in elderly lest it activate lipid peroxidation that could be harmful.  Best results from younger and earlier stage patients.

Severe Ischemic heart disease in 145 males.  Patient received 5-10 treatments of UBI along with standard drugs. 137 had favorable response to UBI and overall condition improved. Fewer analgesics or nitroglycerin tablets. 92 had fewer incidents of stenocardia and could walk 1,000 meters per day.  The other 45 saw moderate improvement.  Researchers felt UBI regularized biochemical substances and function in the body.

 Dozens of other studies are listed in the above collection.

 45 Unsable stenocardia patients – 26 with post-infarction cardiosclerosis against a control group.  5-7 LBI treatments later showed all 45 underwent improvement in general condition, less weakness, headaches and insomnia, reduced nitrates and other listed benefits.
