The present disclosure relates generally to a therapeutic system and method to manage and modulate inflammation by reducing inflammation with enhanced anti-inflammatory measures. Using a light source such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) or a laser light source, the photons can be used to applied to increase the efficacy of medicine on the organ (i.e., disease site) that needs treatment by imparting the light rays only to the site rather than the whole body. The photons produced by the light source increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to improve the functional selectivity of G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCR). With the increased efficacy of medicines to the disease site, the dosage of medicine can be reduced to minimize the side effects in particular to other parts of the body. The treatment may be used to treat inflammation caused by corona virus of 2019 (COVID-19) infection. The photon irradiation treatment can be used to enhance bone growth with parathyroid hormone (PTH) and parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP).

Photon enhanced bone growth system and method

Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute viral infection that can trigger complicated immune system responses depending on the host. This disclosure discloses immunotherapy methods combining immunomodulators and antivirals to prevent and to reduce the severity of a COVID-19 infection. Successful treatment of COVID-19 requires prevention, early recognition and detection, the ruling out of co-infections, serial laboratory monitoring, and clinical monitoring for worsening and timely treatments during the acute phase and post-viral syndrome. Using this disclosure as preventive, management and therapeutic options for COVID-19, infected patients can be more resilient to viral challenges, recovering faster with less organ damages and adverse residual effects.
