I have heard of a therapy that entails using UV light on blood that is then injected back into the body.

Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI) is a procedure that exposes the blood to light to heighten the body’s immune response and to kill infections. With exposure to UV light, bacteria and viruses in your bloodstream absorb five times as much photonic energy as do your red and white blood cells.

from WIKIPEDIA:

“Phototherapy” or “photobiolumination,” as it was called in the early 20th century, was used to treat lupus vulgaris or tuberculosis of the skin, by Niels Finsen, who won the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine in 1903. 900 patients were treated by Finsen. His work led to the introduction of heliotherapy as standard therapy for tuberculosis patients before the advent of antibiotics.

Then in 1928, Dr. Emmet Knott and a medical student named Lester Edblom received a U.S. Patent for a “Means for Treating Blood-Stream Infection” that incorporated a rudimentary ultraviolet bulb, vacuum extraction system and a cuvette. The “Knott Hemo-Irradiator” was used from the 1930s through the 1950s on patients with multiple infectious diseases.

George P Miley at the Hahnemann Hospital, Philadelphia, PA published a series of articles on the use of the procedure in the treatment of thrombophlebitis, staphylococcal sepsis, peritonitis, botulism, poliomyelitis, non-healing wounds, and asthma.

One of the best known and most comprehensive set of studies was published in 1947 by Dr. George Miley, M.D. and Dr. Jens A; Christensen, M.D. (From the Blood Irradiation Clinic of the Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital of Philadelphia, PA). The authors studied 445 cases of acute pyogenic infections and 74 cases of virus and virus-like infections. Findings included the following: sulfa resistant and penicillin resistant infections have responded to the treatment. Further finding included: “We have observed that toxemias due to various virus and virus-like infections subside rapidly …” Some of the more impressive results included cases involving septic infection, 57 out of 57 cases recovered. In treating peritonitis, 16 out of 18 patients recovered. With puerperal sepsis, 14 out of 14 patients recovered. With Thrombophlebitis, 34 out of 34 recovered. The authors emphasized the need to follow the protocol set for by Dr. Emmett Knott. Of importance, this protocol included the use of a chamber or cuvette with a flat quartz surface.

Henry A Barrett at the Willard Parker Hospital in New York City, in 1940 reported on 110 cases including a number of infections. Twenty-nine different conditions were described as responding including the following: infectious arthritis, septic abortion, osteoarthritis, tuberculosis glands, chronic blepharitis, mastoiditis, uveitis, furunculosis, chronic paranasal sinusitis, acne vulgaris, and secondary anemia.[6]

This procedure fell out of favor in the late 1950s, at a time when antibiotics and the polio vaccine were becoming widely used.[6]

The FDA has given approval to one type of this treatment.https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpma/pma.cfm?ID=406577 Also see, https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpma/pma.cfm?ID=337698 , which approval relates to it treating T-Cell lymphoma. This particular process was developed by a team at Yale, led by Dr. Richard Edelson developed a photopherisis machine. This machine separates the white and red blood cells. The white cells are then routed into a blood chamber, where those cells are subjected to UV light from the A part of the spectrum.

https://www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/photopheresis/ This process uses a photosensitizing agent which enhances the effectiveness of the light https://www.yalemedicine.org/departments/ecp-immunotherapy-program/ Observational evidence suggests that photopheresis might be effective in the treatment of graft-versus-host disease,[7] though controlled trials are needed to support this use.[8][9]
There is ongoing research into whether ultraviolet blood irradiation can help with difficult bacterial and viral infections, such as hepatitis C.[10]

I posted a tweet about this, earlier today...the vid, at link, shows the bag of plasma being treated....

I’m convinced Trump plays the media for the fools they are. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Here’s a visual example of Injecting UV light into the body of a patient as a disinfectant to kill viruses and bacteria 🦠 #covid_19 #disinfectant #Trump2020 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/uJkNhgIThQ— Angela Stanton-King (@theangiestanton) April 24, 2020

photobiolumination

You’re serious?
