Ultraviolet light reactive alternative cellular energy pigments (ACE-pigments) are produced in response to certain chronic viral infections, metabolic disorders and degenerative illnesses. The pigments will display differing responsiveness to direct ultraviolet (UV) light illumination in the presence and in the absence of certain triggering dyes, including neutral red. The type of response appears to reflect varying energy levels of the ACE pigments from being essentially uncharged (fluorescent but only if triggering dye is added); to partially charged (fluorescent even in the absence of a triggering dye) to more fully charged (non-fluorescent either in the presence or absence of the triggering dye). Methods are described for assessing the status of ACE pigments within localized skin and deeper lesions, and within the overall body of a human or animal subject. The methods can be used to help monitor the efficacy of therapeutic measures aimed at enhancing the ACE pathway in those in whom a deficiency in the pathway can be shown to exist. |
