Ultra Violet Blood Irradiation
Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (also called Photo-Oxidation Therapy) is a treatment in which a small portion of the patient’s blood is exposed to controlled ultraviolet (UV-C) light and then returned to circulation.
Proposed Physiologic Effects
Research and clinical observations suggest UBI may:
- Improve microcirculation and tissue oxygen delivery
- Modulate immune system activity
- Reduce inflammatory signaling
- Support antimicrobial defense mechanisms
- Influence metabolic processes involving cholesterol, glucose, and uric acid
Interest in light-based medical therapies dates back centuries. UBI was first described in the 1930s and was used clinically in the U.S. prior to the widespread availability of antibiotics.
Clinical Applications
UBI has been studied or used as an adjunctive therapy for:
- Chronic infections (viral, bacterial, fungal)
- Inflammatory and autoimmune conditions
- Certain circulatory and vascular disorders
- Immune system dysregulation
- Supportive care during chemotherapy (not a replacement for oncology care)
UBI is not intended as a stand-alone cure, but as part of a comprehensive medical approach.
Treatment Frequency
- Typically 1–2 treatments per week for 5–10 weeks
- Chronic conditions may transition to maintenance treatments at longer intervals
Contraindications
UBI is not recommended in patients with:
- Porphyria
- Significant photosensitivity disorders
- Acute hemorrhagic conditions
- Immediately following a myocardial infarction
After Treatment
Patients are encouraged to:
- Hydrate well for 24 hours
- Avoid antioxidant supplements for 24 hours (e.g., vitamins A, C, E, glutathione)
- Support detoxification through hydration, movement, and regular bowel function
Some patients feel improvement immediately; others may experience transient fatigue or flu-like symptoms as part of an immune or detoxification response.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
UBI may be considered for individuals who:
- Have chronic or recurrent infections
- Have inflammatory or autoimmune-related conditions
- Experience immune system dysregulation
- Are seeking supportive therapy alongside conventional treatment
- Have chronic fatigue or inflammatory symptoms without adequate response to standard care
UBI is used as adjunctive therapy and not as a replacement for conventional medical treatment.
Is It Safe?
UBI has a long clinical history and is generally considered safe when administered appropriately. Only a small portion of blood is treated at a time. Some patients may experience transient fatigue or flu-like symptoms following treatment, which typically resolve within 24 hours. UBI is contraindicated in patients with porphyria, significant photosensitivity disorders, acute hemorrhagic conditions, or immediately following a heart attack.
