Sounds Promising

It sounds like the brainchild of a mad scientist: Draw blood from the arm, heat it up, pump it with oxygen and bombard it with ultraviolet light and then re-inject it into the patient’s butt.

…

Immune modulation therapy, a patented therapy developed by Toronto-based Vasogen Inc., involves taking about 10 cubic centimetres of blood (two teaspoons), then putting it into a machine that “stresses” the blood by subjecting it to heat, oxidation, and UV light.

Those stresses are designed to induce apoptosis (cell death) in white blood cells, those that influence the body’s immune response.

They never say why the blood is re-injected into the patient’s butt.
