Autohemotherapy is a technique used all over the world to boost the immune system.
The technique is very simple. A small amount of blood is withdrawn from
a vein, and re-introduced into a muscle by injection. This creates a tiny
inflammatory response which acts very much like a wound. Muscle is slightly
injured by the injection, since the needle used (no matter how small the
gauge) is larger than capillaries. Injured capillaries leak calls platelets
into the tissues, thus triggering the release of growth factors and inflammatory
proteins. The immune system is now activated. If there are foreign proteins
in the blood, these proteins are picked up by antigen presenting cells
and given to the T cells of the immune system to make the appropriate
antibodies.
And voilà - effectively we have created a vaccine. If the proteins
belong to cancer cells, we have created an effective vaccine against cancer.
And because we repeat the autohemotherapy frequently, every injection
contains fresh proteins. We are not risking making a vaccine to something
which is no longer relevant - the major drawback of conventional cancer vaccines.
