ULTRAVIOLET BLOOD IRRADIATION (UBI) THERAPY

Date: 09/01/2002

Ultraviolet blood irradiation (UBI) therapy is administered by a device called the Knott Hemo-irradiator. UBI therapy raises the resistance of the host and is therefore able to control many disease processes. A fundamental effect of UBI is to energize or enhance the biochemical and physiological defenses of the body by the introduction of ultraviolet energy into the blood stream. It is well known that ultraviolet radiation is used to purify water and treat sewage. So too it can purify and clean the blood of contaminations in the form of germs.

This is intravenously applied by irradiating blood with a controlled amount of ultraviolet energy in the accepted therapeutic UV band. This produces a rapid detoxifying effect with subsidence of toxic symptoms. Venous oxygen is increased in patients with depressed blood oxygen values. Of special interest is that a rapid rise in resistance to viral and bacterial infection, acute or chronic, occurs. No harmful effects have been observed with UBI therapy in thousand of cases or viral infections, hepatitis, bacterial infections, hypoxemia, and many other illnesses, especially blood-related infections.

The American Blood Irradiation Society published a favorable opinion of the use of UBI to control virus and virus-like disease. The opinion was based on thousands of clinical cases treated with this therapy, many of which were reported in published papers and presented before official medical groups. Much additional clinical data has been reported.

Indications: According to the Foundation For Blood Irradiation, Inc, UBI has been found useful in treating:

Preliminary reports indicate that UBI may be useful in treating HIV. Work is currently under way to evaluate the effects of UBI on eliminating HIV from blood and blood products. Should this be successful, this would have major implications in ensuring the safety of blood in blood banks.

The efficacy of this method is attested to by the remarkable and consistent recovery of patients with a wide variety of diseases. In addition, it can be stated that UBI has never caused a disease of any sort, nor has it ever damaged a patient in its use. Over 60 scientific and clinical papers on ultraviolet blood irradiation have been reported in medical journals and before medical groups (see end).
