Abstract:
An improved method for treating or preventing a pathological condition in a mammalian subject in which modified mammalian blood is administered to the subject. The method comprises administering to the subject from two to four aliquots of modified mammalian blood, with the administration of any pair of consecutive treatments either being on consecutive days or being separated by a rest period of 1 to 21 days. The treatment is useful for treating or preventing a wide range of pathological conditions in which modified mammalian blood is effective, including preconditioning a mammalian subject to better withstand the adverse effects of ischemic stress, atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Abstract:
A method of increasing the nitric oxide concentration in the blood which comprises contacting blood with a nitric oxide concentration-increasing effective amount of ozone gas and ultraviolet radiation. Blood prepared by the method of the invention is used for treating a variety of conditions benefited by increased blood levels of nitric oxide.

Abstract:
An autoimmune vaccine is provided for administration to human patients to alleviate the symptoms of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The vaccine comprises an aliquot of the patient's blood, containing, inter alia, leukocytes having upregulated expression of various cell surface markers and lymphocytes containing decreased amounts of certain stress proteins. It is produced by subjecting the blood aliquot extracorporeally to certain stressors, namely oxidizing agents, UV radiation and elevated temperature.
Abstract:
Vasospastic disorders such as Raynaud's phenomenon are treated by administering to the patient an aliquot of autologous blood which has been subjected simultaneously to heat, ultraviolet irradiation and oxidative environment so as to render the blood aliquot capable of generating in the patient's bloodstream after administration a population of stimulated leukocytes having upregulated expression of CD25 cell surface markers, along with an enhancement of endothelial function in the patient.
