Light has been used in medicine for over 100 years.
Ultraviolet blood irradiation (UVBI/UBI) is an intravenous procedure that exposes blood to ultraviolet light. It is also called photodynamic therapy, ultraviolet photoluminescence (UVP), oxidative phototherapy, and IV photobiomodulation.
As antibiotics became more commonly available, UVBI use declined. Two trends have created a resurgence in UVBI use: the increasing number of antibiotic-resistant infections and resulting deaths, and the increasing demand for natural, non-prescription drug therapies.
Historically, photo-oxidation therapy was first administered to humans in 1928 in Germany when a woman dying of sepsis (a usually fatal bacterial infection of the blood) was cured in two days. Medical research from American and German sources, provides dozens of references on photo-oxidation.
Harvard professor Dr. Michael Hamblin has published over 350 peer-reviewed articles in the past 25 years. In these publications, he discusses UVBI used to treat infections, as an immune modulating therapy, and as a method for normalizing blood parameters.
Like ozone therapy, UVBI is non-specific. It works with the body’s immune and circulatory systems to help them function properly. There are nearly 30 documented changes in blood parameters, clotting changes, metabolic and hemodynamic changes, and improvement in immune defenses. Treatments have been effective for over 60 different diseases including viral infection, bacterial infection and autoimmune diseases.
The American Cancer Society says of this type of treatment, “clinical trials look promising for the treatment of immune system diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and rejection of transplanted organs.”
Serious infections have been successfully treated, dating back to the 1920’s. In 1942, Dr. George Miley, Clinical Professor of Medicine reported success with 103 consecutive cases of acute pyogenic infections. Results were 100% cure of early infection, 46 out of 47 for moderately advanced and 17 out of 36 of those who were near death. In the 1950’s, the age of antibiotics and vaccines began and UBI all but vanished from medical use. Currently there are only about 300 practitioners in the United States, 3000 in Europe and thousands throughout the world. Over one million UBI treatments have been successfully provided with minimal side effects and often dramatic results.
What are the biological effects of UVBI?
It is often referred to as Ultraviolet Photoluminescence (UVP) because using light energy (photons) to illuminate the blood can do much more than simply irradiate it. UVP/UVBI has been shown to:
- Energize or enhance the biochemical and physiological defenses of the body by the introduction of ultraviolet energy into the blood stream. UVBI transmits energy to the blood that empowers a strong response in the body. White blood cells, if they are out of control, begin to stabilize. UVBI increases cell membrane permeability which enhances the body’s ability to produce antibodies and marks pathogenic microorganisms for destruction by your immune system. The debris from dead pathogens stimulates the immune response further against even the most stubborn (antibiotic resistant) bacteria or viruses.
- Rapidly detoxify and relieve toxemia. UVBI also helps the liver clear itself of fats.
- Increase blood oxygen levels
- If the body is anemic, UVBI tends to stimulate red blood cell production.
- Rapidly increase your resistance to bacterial infections, acute or chronic without harmful effects by increasing phagocytosis
- Improve micro-circulation and oxygenation of tissues
- Anti-inflammatory effects
- Stimulation of the immune system when the immune system is compromised
- Increased tolerance of the body towards radiation or chemotherapy
- Cardiovascular protection through increased metabolism of cholesterol, uric acid, and glucose
- Resolution of vascular spasms
- Powerful anti-infection properties
- Increases blood pH
- Reduces cholesterol
- Reduces creatinine levels
- Reduces blood viscosity
- Reduces uric acid levels
- Reduces fibrin levels
- Modulates the immune system
- Normalizes glucose tolerance
Based on reports of thousands of cases using UVBI for viral infections, hepatitis, bacterial infections, hypoxemia, and many other illnesses, especially blood-related infections, it can be stated that UVBI / UVP has never caused a disease of any sort, nor has it ever damaged a patient in its use. Hundreds of scientific and clinical papers on ultraviolet blood irradiation have been published in medical journals and reported before medical groups.

Based on Hundreds of published articles and Millions of people treated,
UVBI has been shown to be helpful for:
Infections
- Hepatitis: (One report lists forty-three cases of Hepatitis treated with an average of 3.28 UVBI treatments per patient. Laboratory studies confirmed clinical improvement, which occurred on an average of 19.2 days after UVBI was instituted therapy. 60% of the patients were considered clinically recovered and able to return to their occupations in two weeks or less.
- Influenza and common upper respiratory diseases
- Preliminary reports indicate that UVBI may be useful in treating HIV
- Mononucleosis
- Herpes simplex
- Shingles
- Lyme Disease
- Pneumonia
- Septicemia (Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Pneumococcus)
- Wound Infections, lymphatic infections (lymphangitis)
- Peritonitis
- Typhoid Fever
- Recurrent skin infections (furunculosis, carbunculosis)
- Candida (yeast) overgrowth
- Acne
- MRSA
Inflammatory Conditions
- Joint pain
- Muscle pain
- Nephritis
- Iritis
- Pancreatitis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Psoriasis
- Eczema
- Fibromyalgia
Circulatory Conditions
- Peripheral vascular disease

- Non-healing wounds
- Allergies (inhaled, food or chemical)
- Arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid or psoriatic)
- Autoimmune Illnesses
- Emphysema
- Adjunctive cancer treatment (Germany)
- Psoriasis, Eczema, and Acne
- Macular Degeneration
How Is The Procedure Performed?
UVBI exposes the blood to four wavelengths of UV light. This is done by starting an IV and withdrawing a small amount of blood. The only discomfort experienced is the initiating of the IV (needle stick). The blood is then passed through the UV light and returned to the patient through the IV, while remaining in the closed, sterile system.
We also offer:
High Dose O3UV: This modality allows us to give over 20 times more ozone and twice the amount of UVBI in one 60-90 minute appointment.
