THE UBI PROCESSUBI in a Nutshell UBI in a NutshellThe actual process of a UBI treatment is remarkably simple:
The details vary depending on the treatment device, but basically it’s as simple as that. And it has changed very little since it was developed by Dr. Emmett Knott in the 1920s. What happens at the bio-chemical level is not fully explained, but once returned 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. This has allowed UBI to achieve cure rates of nearly 100% in many situations, and has even proven effective in patients given up as incurable. It also provides for longer-term enhancement of the immune system, with this enhancement lasting weeks, months or even years. Technical ConcernsWhatever the device used, the blood sample has to be held in a container that will allow UV light to penetrate so that the sample will actually be exposed. In most cases this means using quartz, the material that is most transparent to UV light. The problem with using quartz is that it is quite expensive. All systems must use some means for agitating the blood sample. UV light has very little ability to penetrate liquids and gases, and will only penetrate about 1 millimetre into blood, so some sort of agitation or turbulent flow is necessary to ensure that the sample is thoroughly and evenly irradiated. Existing systems tend to use lamps that generate UV light primarily in the UVC portion of the spectrum, while it is the UVB light that is believed to provide the actual beneficial immune-enhancing effect. As discussed in the Ultraviolet Light page, prolonged exposure to UVC light is harmful to living tissue, so exposure times must be severely limited. So if a lamp produces mainly UVC light and very little of the beneficial UVB, and the time a blood sample is exposed to the UVC must therefore be limited, it follows that the amount of UVB received by the sample is extremely small. And this is what leads to the need for multiple treatments using existing systems. The Advantages of UBIUBI has several features that make it an ideal treatment for a variety of ailments. Generic TreatmentMany antibiotics and all vaccines are designed to attack specific diseases (and sometimes specific strains of diseases), which means they are very limited in their scope. UVC light is a sterilizing agent that will kill off active pathogens. But UBI therapy – particularly when there is an emphasis on UVB light in the treatment – is not pathogen-specific. It simply stimulates the body’s biochemical and physiological defences to assist the body in fighting the infection or other condition more efficiently than it otherwise would. Thus UBI is completely generic, with a vastly greater range of applicability than conventional drugs. No DrugsUBI requires no drugs and introduces no foreign substances into the patient’s system other than the small amount of anti-coagulant used to prevent clotting of the blood sample. No Side EffectsUBI produces no side effects except for two: a slight flushing of the skin for about an hour after treatment; and in a few rare cases, a mild Herxheimer reaction (a sort of mild nausea, accompanied by other flu-like symptoms, that sometimes accompanies the elimination of an infection from a body). No patient treated with UBI has ever suffered any serious side effects, and no patient’s condition has ever been made worse as a result of UBI treatment. Prevents InfectionsUBI has proven to be extremely helpful as a preventive measure. In a well-documented clinical trial in the 1950s, UBI was used prior to surgery and clearly demonstrated its ability to reduce the incidence of post-operative infections. With the effect of UBI lasting for weeks or even months, it could potentially complement (if not necessarily replace) vaccines and immunizations. Univerally ApplicableUBI therapy is equally applicable to veterinary medicine and human medicine, and offers the same benefits. The possibility of drug-free treatments for food-producing animals is clearly going to be attractive to consumers. But the greatest advantage to UBI is the one at the top of the list – the fact that it is completely generic. Vaccines and many antibiotics are designed for specific diseases (even specific strains of diseases), but UBI acts on the immune system, not the disease. (This should be particularly true with the SP-1, which has been designed to avoid the dominance of the germicidal UVC component of other UBI systems.) So it’s a beautifully simple one-size-fits-all treatment. |
