Another, possible treatment for HCV?
'The process involves exposing a very small amount of infected blood (3-4%) to a very precise amount of ultra-violet light in the C band (UVC), for a very precise amount of time, explained Thomas Petrie, the developer of the technology and Director of Engineering at Energex Systems. "During treatment, any pathogen in the blood that is exposed to the UVC energy is inactivated. After exposure, the blood carrying the inactive pathogen is returned to the patient through the same portal it was drawn from. The result, we believe, is a stimulation of the immune system. If we can safely inactivate a virus and return it to the patient it came from, the theory of a vaccine suggests that this therapy should be effective in managing these deadly diseases, said Petrie. We didn't develop UVC nor were we the first to theorize that it destroys viruses. What we did, was develop a process to safely expose infected blood to UVC and proved a common theory that it destroys pathogens", said Petrie. The process takes 20-30 minutes.'
