ULTRAVIOLET BLOOD IRRADIATION THERAPY
Revitalize Your Health: Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation Therapy – The Light Within
A Scientific Overview
Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation Therapy
Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI) therapy, sometimes referred to as photoluminescence, is an alternative medical procedure that involves exposing a sample of the patient’s blood to ultraviolet (UV) light. The technique is predicated on the notion that UV light has therapeutic properties, including antimicrobial effects, immune modulation, and improvement of blood oxygenation. SOMA’s approach to UBI therapy, particularly using UVC light, represents a unique application of this concept, aiming to harness these benefits for treating a range of conditions.
Background Science
The underlying science of UBI therapy is based on the biological effects of UV light on blood components. When blood is exposed to UV light, it is believed to induce a biological response that activates and modulates the immune system, increases oxygenation in tissues, and has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. UVC light, in particular, has strong germicidal properties, which are thought to help inactivate pathogens in the blood, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
The process involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, diluting it with a compatible isotonic solution to a specific volume, and then irradiating it with UVC light. SOMA utilizes a high-power UVC lamp and a special quartz glass cuvette designed to create turbulence, ensuring even exposure of the blood to UV light and preventing overheating. After irradiation, the treated blood is reinfused into the patient.

Indications
UBI therapy at SOMA is employed for a variety of indications, including:
-
Regeneration and rejuvenation, aiming to stimulate the body's natural healing processes.
-
Chronic diseases, where it's used to modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation.
-
Chronic viral infections, leveraging UVC's germicidal properties to reduce viral load.
Effectiveness at SOMA
At SOMA, UBI therapy using UVC is considered highly effective due to several key factors:
- The use of a special quartz glass cuvette and controlled turbulence ensures precise and safe UV exposure of the blood, minimizing the risk of overheating or damage to blood components.
- When used in conjunction with EBOO therapy, UBI can offer synergistic benefits, combining the antimicrobial and immune-modulating effects of UVC irradiation with the enhanced oxygenation and detoxification provided by EBOO.
- The therapy is tailored to individual patient needs, with adjustments made to the volume of blood irradiated and the duration of exposure based on specific conditions and responses.
Exploring the Frontier of Healing
The Promise of UBI Therapy with SOMA's Innovation
While UBI therapy, particularly with UVC light, remains an area of active research and debate, SOMA’s innovative approach and application of this therapy show promise for a range of conditions. Patients seeking alternative treatments for regeneration, chronic diseases, and infections may find UBI to be a valuable option. However, as with all medical treatments, it’s important for patients to consult with healthcare professionals to understand the potential benefits and risks.
