Ultraviolet blood irradiation (UBI or UVB)

Blood irradiation therapy is a procedure in which the blood is exposed to low level red light (often laser light) for therapeutic reasons. Most research on blood irradiation therapy has been conducted in Germany, Russia and China, while smaller-scale research has been performed in other countries such as Britain. Blood irradiation therapy can be administered through a catheter in a vein, through the blood vessels inside the nose or applied externally through the skin. It is not related to the practice of gamma irradiation of blood in transfusion medicine.

Ultraviolet blood irradiation (UBI or UVB) is an intravenous therapy that represents a safe, non-toxic, low cost and drug-free method of treating most blood-borne viruses and it offers hope to those who suffer from viral infections and related conditions.

Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation InstrumentUltraviolet blood irradiation (also known as photoluminescence, hemo-irradiation, photodynamic therapy, and oxidative phototherapy) was first introduced in the 1930s to combat the polio virus. The therapy was then extensively used in the 1940’s and 1950’s to treat medical conditions including pneumonia, tuberculosis and even cancer. The advent of antibiotics lead to a decline in the use of UBI as an effective treatment option. Now, with the increasing incidence of antibiotic resistant infections and a desire for more natural therapies, UBI is enjoying a type of rebirth.

How does ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy work?
Ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy is intravenously applied by irradiating a small amount of blood (according to the patient’s weight) with a controlled amount of ultraviolet energy in the accepted therapeutic UV band (UV Ultraviolet C light). Blood is drawn from the patient (60 cc or more), passed through an air tight mechanism that produces the ultraviolet energy, and returned to the patient. This produces a rapid detoxifying effect with the subsidence of toxic symptoms. No harmful effects have been observed in ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy in thousands of cases of viral infections, hepatitis, bacterial infections and many other diseases. The effects are long lasting and there is an absence of harmful side effects.

Experience has shown that ultraviolet blood irradiation can strengthen the immune system and improve overall health. Ultraviolet blood irradiation has been shown to have the following therapeutic benefits:

  • Increases oxygen absorption into body tissues
  • Destruction of fungal, viral and bacterial growth
  • Improves circulation and decreases platelet aggregation
  • Improves circulation by dilating blood vessels
  • Improves the body’s ability to detoxify and inactivate or remove toxins
  • Activates cortisone-like molecules, sterols, into vitamin D
  • Restores normal size and movement of fat elements

It is believed that exposure to ultraviolet light boosts the immune system and continues to provide benefits even after the treatments are completed. Ultraviolet blood irradiation has a cumulative effect. Initial treatments are usually followed by maintenance treatments. Other beneficial photochemical reactions from ultraviolet blood irradiation includes improved microcirculation, anti-inflammatory effects, cardiovascular protection through increased metabolism of cholesterol, uric acid, and glucose, as well as resolution of vascular spasms.

Ultraviolet blood irradiation may be used alone or in conjunction with other treatments for conditions including:
– Viral infections
– Hepatitis
– Herpes
– Mononucleosis, etc
– Bacterial infections
– Wound infections
– Lymphadenitis
– Septicemia
– Furunculosis, carbunculosis
– Inflammatory process: thrombophlebitis, fibrositis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis
– Diseases due to inadequate peripheral circulation
– Varicose or diabetic ulcers
– Peripheral atherosclerosis
– Some types of gangrene
– Vascular headache
– Non-healing wounds and delayed union fractures
– Rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases
