Blood irradiation therapy

Hello there! Have you ever heard of blood irradiation therapy? It's a way of treating some illnesses by using a special kind of energy called radiation.

Radiation is like very tiny little things that shoot out from certain objects, kind of like when you blow bubbles and some of them fly away. But instead of bubbles, these tiny things are called "particles". When we talk about radiation, we mean those particles that shoot out from things like the sun or some special machines.

Blood irradiation therapy uses a machine that creates a special kind of radiation that can help some sick people feel better. This machine looks like a big tube that's big enough for someone to sit in. When a person goes into the tube, the machine sends out special radiation that can go through their skin and into their blood. The radiation isn't harmful like the radiation from the sun or other things we want to avoid, like x-rays. Instead, it can help heal the person's blood and make them feel better.

Sometimes people get sick because the blood cells in their body aren't working the way they should be. That's where blood irradiation therapy can help. It makes the blood cells work better, kind of like how a superhero saves the day! It can also help a person's immune system, which is the system in our body that helps fight off germs and other things that make us sick.

So, that's what blood irradiation therapy is all about. It's like a special magic trick that makes sick people feel better by sending tiny particles into their blood with a special machine.
