ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for radiating high intensity energy at a subject for treating diseases such as rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis and a method for using the same. A radiation source generating radiation at a predetermined output wavelength transilluminates affected tissues of the subject for a predetermined duration. The radiation source has sufficient intensity and is applied for sufficient duration to photolyze disease-specific antigens within the transilluminated tissues responsible for evoking complex immune response, thus reducing inflammation and disease progression.
