What is ultraviolet blood irradiation?
Ultraviolet blood irradiation, also known as UBI, is a type of IV therapy that involves taking out 60-120 mL of blood and treating it with ozone gas. The blood is added to an IV bag of saline and run through an ultraviolet machine. It helps enhance the body’s immune response, improving its ability to fight infections, and reduces inflammation.
What can ultraviolet blood irradiation treat?
Ultraviolet blood irradiation may be used to treat several conditions, including:
- Mold toxicity
- Chronic fatigue
- General malaise
- Arthritis
- Inflammatory conditions
- Cardiovascular disease
- Acute and chronic infections – Lyme disease, EBV, Covid-19
- Autoimmune disease
- Muscle pain
- Joint pain

Your provider at Aspen Integrative Medical Center reviews your medical history and discusses your symptoms to determine if UBI is right for you.

Is ultraviolet blood irradiation safe?
Yes, it is extremely safe when administered by a trained licensed medical professional. Treatment rarely causes any side effects, but it can stimulate the die-off of pathogens or open detoxification pathways which can make a person feel fatigued. This is viewed as a positive healing reaction. Although ozone therapy is extremely safe, it is not safe to use in everyone and is contraindicated for the following:
-
- G6PD deficiency
- Pregnancy and lactation
- Uncontrolled hyperthyroid
- Active bleeding or acute hemorrhagic disease
- Acute MI
- Allergy to heparin
