CytoluminescentTherapy is a proposed cancer treatment as a form of Photodynamic Therapy PDT characterized by a photosynthesis photosensitiser that is supposedly eliminated from normal tissue but selectively accumulated in neoplastic and dysplastic tissue. This is followed by whole body irradiation with light of the specific wave length which activates the photosensitiser. The result is supposed to be selective damage or elimination of tumor cells while normal tissues are unharmed. However, tests as of 2003 did not show any positive clinical effects in a group of 48 patients treated in this way. The original providers of CLT in Killaloe, Ireland, are no longer performing the treatment. Much of their claims of effectiveness were based upon anecdotal reports, not research. In fact, the wavelength of light used to active the chlorphyll derived photosensitizer used in CLT is incapable of penetrating tissue more than several millimeters. The FDA approved therapy PDT uses red light wavelength approximately 600 700 nm and penetrates human tissue up to 2 centimeters. No wavelength can fully penetrate the human body, as the purveyors of CLT claimed.

It is prescribed when a patient s condition cannot be treated effectively by oral medications. Typically, infusion therapy means that a drug is administered intravenously, but the term also may refer to situations where drugs are provided through other non oral routes, such as intramuscular injections and epidural routes into the membranes surrounding the spinal cord . Until the 1980s, patients receiving infusion therapy had to remain in the inpatient setting for the duration of their therapy. Heightened emphasis on cost containment in health care, as well as developments in the clinical administration of the therapy, led to strategies to administer infusion therapy in alternate settings. For individuals requiring long term therapy, inpatient care is not only tremendously expensive but also prevents the individual from resuming normal lifestyle and work activities.

Expressive therapy , also known as expressive arts therapy or creative arts therapy , is the use of the creative arts as a form of therapy . Unlike traditional art expression, the process of creation is emphasized rather than the final product. Expressive therapy is predicated on the assumption that people can heal through use of imagination and the various forms of creative expression. Types Expressive therapy is an umbrella term. Some common types of expressive therapy include art therapy art and dementia dance therapy drama therapy music therapy writing therapy All expressive therapists share the belief that through creative expression and the tapping of the imagination, a person can examine the body, feelings, emotions and his or her thought process. However, expressive arts therapy is its own therapeutic discipline, an inter modal discipline where the therapist and client move freely between drawing, dancing, music, drama, poetry, etc. Although often separated by the form of creative art, some expressive therapists consider themselves intermodal, using expression in general, rather than a specific discipline to treat clients, altering their approach based on the clients needs, or through using multiple forms of expression with the same client to aid with deeper exploration. ref cite book author Malchiodi, Cathy A. date published 2003 Expressive Therapies publisher New York Guilford ISBN 1593853793 ref Expressive arts therapy is the practice of using imagery, storytelling ... arts therapy is also about experiencing the natural capacity of creative expression and creative community for healing.
