Staying healthy in today’s world requires more than just managing symptoms, it calls for therapies that truly support the body’s ability to heal and thrive. Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UVBI) IV therapy is one such treatment, combining time-tested principles with modern advancements to naturally boost immunity, enhance oxygenation, and reduce inflammation. Originally developed in the early 20th century, this gentle, non-toxic therapy is now being embraced as a powerful tool for restoring balance and resilience.

Whether you're recovering from chronic illness, addressing immune challenges, or simply aiming to feel more energized and vibrant, UVBI offers a unique path to deeper wellness.

What Is UVBI IV Therapy?

UVBI involves drawing a small amount of blood, exposing it to specific UV light wavelengths, and then infusing it back into your body. This exposure activates immune cells, weakens harmful pathogens, and prompts the body to mount a healthier, more efficient immune response. Think of it as a gentle “reboot” for your immune system—clearing out what’s not working and supporting what is.

How UVBI Works: Light Meets Healing

This therapy is based on photobiology, how light can influence the behavior of your cells. Once the blood is treated with ultraviolet light:

• White blood cells become more efficient.
  
  
• Red blood cells deliver oxygen more effectively.
  
  
• Viruses, bacteria, and toxins are disrupted or neutralized.
  
  
• The body initiates a widespread healing response.
  
  

These changes can lead to better energy, stronger immunity, and greater resilience over time.

Boosting the Immune System Naturally

One of the main reasons our patients love UVBI is its immune-enhancing power. By working with both the innate and adaptive immune systems, UVBI helps your body:

• Produce more interferons and cytokines to coordinate immune responses.
  
  
• Mount stronger defenses against viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
  
  
• Support immune balance, especially in cases of autoimmune conditions.
  
  

Better Oxygenation, Less Fatigue

When your cells receive more oxygen, everything functions better. UVBI helps red blood cells transport oxygen more efficiently, which can make a huge difference for those struggling with:

• Chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia
  
  
• Brain fog or poor circulation
  
  
• Respiratory and cardiovascular issues
  
  

You might notice improved energy, better stamina, and clearer mental focus.

Naturally Reducing Inflammation

UVBI therapy is one of our go-to recommendations for patients dealing with persistent inflammation. It works by:

• Lowering oxidative stress (a major driver of inflammation)
  
  
• Regulating immune overactivity
  
  
• Helping the body eliminate waste and toxins
  
  

Many people with arthritis, inflammatory bowel disorders, or autoimmune flares find lasting relief with regular UVBI sessions.

Common Conditions We Treat with UVBI

At 417 Integrative Medicine, we often recommend UVBI as part of a broader care plan for:

• Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), and Herpes
  
  
• Autoimmune diseases and immune dysregulation
  
  
• Chronic illness detox and immune rebuilding
  
  
• Athletes looking to boost recovery and performance
  
  

Safe, Quick, and Effective

UVBI is an outpatient procedure that usually takes under an hour. There’s no downtime, and it’s very well tolerated by most patients. After just a few sessions, many people report feeling more energized, clearer-headed, and less inflamed.

Part of a Whole-Person Wellness Plan

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all medicine. That’s why UVBI is typically combined with other functional medicine tools like nutritional therapy, supplements, and stress management, to support long-term healing from the ground up.

Is UVBI Right for You?

You might be a great candidate if you:

• Struggle with chronic infections or inflammation
  
  
• Have low immunity or slow recovery times
  
  
• Simply want to boost your wellness and longevity naturally
