Innovative Light Therapy: 3. Correction of the Acute Viral Respiratory Diseases Using Biophysical Capabilities of Bioptron-PILER-Light (Review)

摘要

The review contains information about a new therapeutic technology-light therapy,using Bioptron devices for the treatment of acute viral respiratory diseases including COVID-19.It is based on the use of a biophysical factor that weakens the course of the main pathological process:polarized polychromatic light(PL)with an infrared component.There are described mechanisms of correction of disorders at the expense of local cellular effects and systemic effects through the influence on blood structures and acupuncture points.The positive contribution of PL applications to the airways during infection with high doses of influenza virus has been experimentally proven.There are described changes in immune variables,indicating the possibility of using percutaneous blood photo-modification to correct inflammatory processes,lipid peroxidation in erythrocyte membranes and plasma,and improve the rheological properties of blood.Evidence has been found that PL treatment in combination with other immunotropic drugs helps to restore immunological variables and reduce associated allergic reactions.It is revealed the effectiveness of combined therapy by PL and antioxidants.In this case,the bronchial passability increased,the compensation of bronchial hyperreactivity improved,the respiratory moisture release and the content of immunoglobulins A and G in the blood serum increased.The combined use of PL and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic(ibuprofen)has also proved to be effective.The results of a comparative study indicate that the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of PL are comparable to the effect of moderate doses of this drug,and their combined use is more effective in suppressing pain than an isolated analgesic of the same dose.It is confirmed the presence of biological responses arising from the application of PL to receptor zones(acupuncture points)sensitive to electromagnetic signals.By studying the responses to acute,tonic and visceral pain in animals,statistically significant analgesia was revealed after PL stimulation of acupuncture points.Application of PL to biologically active or indifferent areas in humans has shown the advantage of areas related to acupuncture.This expands the therapeutic possibilities arising from the use of active zones and allows obtaining reliable clinical results in patients with respiratory diseases.The possibility of using the monochromatic and fullerene PL ranges has been experimentally substantiated.Among the personal protective equipment for the eyes of patients during light procedures,especially children,it is advisable to reduce the visual light load and protect the eyes by using glasses with fullerene filters.This review is the evidence of testing polychromatic polarized light capabilities with a positive result,which is the basis for the inclusion of PL-therapy techniques in the protocol schemes for the prevention and treatment of acute viral respiratory diseases.
