A SHORT HISTORY OF UBIIn 1923, a Seattle doctor named Emmett Knott began his research into the use of UV light as a means of treating infections. By 1928, he had developed the Knott technique of Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI). Over the next two to three decades, UBI demonstrated a remarkable ability to cure or relieve a wide variety of ailments including bacterial infections, viral infections, circulatory conditions, overwhelming toxemias, non-healing wounds, and such diverse conditions as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, pelvic inflammatory disease, biliary disease, and many other infectious, inflammatory, and autoimmune disorders. UBI demonstrated a cure rate of 98 to 100% in early and moderately advanced infections, and 50% in even very serious cases, all with next to nothing by way of side-effects. The Knott technique is very simple – take a sample of the patient’s blood, expose it to Ultraviolet light for a short period of time, and return it to the patient. The irradiated blood sample has the effect of boosting the body’s immune system, enabling the body to fight the infection or other condition far better than it would have done otherwise. And not only will UBI aid the body in fighting off an existing infection, its effect lasts for weeks or months (even years), so it could be a useful preventive measure as well. Research into UBI continued into the early 1950s, but declined dramatically once chemical antibiotics became established as the automatic response to treating an infection. Today, it is used in a small number of clinics North America and Europe, and research is very limited. Current circumstances, however, seem to call for returning UBI into the mainstream of medical practice. FInd out why now is the time for UBI. Read on for a more detailed history of UBI.
