Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI) therapy is a safe, effective treatment in which a small needle is inserted into a vein (as if you were donating blood) and a few ounces of blood is withdrawn via a sterile tubing system. It is diluted and mixed with a blood thinner prior to reinfusion into the body. The blood passes through a cuvette (glass chamber made of quartz crystal) where it gets bathed in ultraviolet light. Finally, it gets infused back to the body.

 

While some people notice a beneficial effect after the first treatment, the majority of people notice benefit after several treatments have been performed. Treatments may be given once every 24 hrs to 2-3 times per week. 4-10 initial treatments are generally recommended, depending on the condition.

 

UBI has the ability to allow an ill body to re-adjust itself back to its normal biological self-regulation using the power of light.  UBI helps rebalance the immune system and boost the body’s ability to combat disease with the help of ultraviolet energy.

 

UBI is often combined with ozone therapy.  UBI and Ozone have similar benefits but work through different mechanisms.   The UBI uses the energy of Ultraviolet light and the Ozone uses the power of energized oxygen in the form of O3.  The doctor will recommend a specific protocol of therapy that may include UBI and/or Ozone.
