Abstract
Abstract A method for the radiation of corporeal blood is described with which it is possible to prevent arteriosclerosis related heart and vascular diseases due to disturbances in the fat exchange, or to successfully fight such diseases, without exposing the blood to photosensibilators or without the necessity of additional corporeal activity, or a special diet. The apparatus is easily transportable, indepedent from electrical supply lines and may, for example, be operated from the energy obtained from a car battery. A radiation spectrum is used, which employs optical radiation types, which are available on the surface of the earth in nature, so that damages to the organism in principle are prevented.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A process for physiological and therapeutic treatment of venous blood from a body, which comprises (a) introducing the blood into an apparatus having a blood conducting tube of medically acceptable disposable material, at least on elongated radiator for emitting electromagnetic radiation, a reflector for distributing the radiation of said radiator substantially about said tube, and means for controlling the radiation that reaches said tube from said radiator, (b) conducting the blood through said blood conducting tube at a flow rate of from about 20 drops/minute to about 80 drops/minute, and (c) irradiating the blood in the blood conducting tube with radiation from said radiator at an intensity of from about 1 mWcm -2 to about 10 mWcm -2 in the wavelength range of fromabout 320 nm to about 600 nm.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
A process for physiological and therapeutic treatment of venous blood from a body, which comprises (a) introducing the blood into an apparatus having a blood conducting tube of medically acceptable disposable material, at least on elongated radiator for emitting electromagnetic radiation, a reflector for distributing the radiation of said radiator substantially about said tube, and means for controlling the radiation that reaches said tube from said radiator, (b) conducting the blood through said blood conducting tube at a flow rate of from about 20 drops/minute to about 80 drops/minute, and (c) irradiating the blood in the blood conducting tube with radiation from said radiator at an intensity of from about 1 mWcm -2 to about 10 mWcm -2 in the wavelength range of fromabout 320 nm to about 600 nm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the length of the blood conducting tube that is exposed to the electromagnetic radiation is from about 1 cm to about 30 cm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process of claim 1, wherein said means for controlling the radiation comprises telescoping adjustable tubular shrouds.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the spectral emission of said radiator is adjusted by a coating of luminous material on said radiator.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 1, wherein said radiator is a xenon lampa.
