Does UBI Therapy Hurt?
UBI therapy is a fascinating and quite useful treatment that many patients are exploring to improve their health.
Still, many people have questions about UBI therapy, like does UBI therapy hurt? It’s a fair question. Let’s explore the topic a little.
First of all, let us take a look at what UBI is. UBI stands for ultraviolet blood irradiation. This is a treatment that helps the patient with their blood. UBI therapy is considered safe and multiple studies have shown that it does not have any recorded bad side effects while it has also been shown to potentially boost one’s immunity, kill a lot of bacteria and viruses in one’s bloodstream, and rejuvenate their blood overall.
UBI therapy works in a fairly simple manner. The science behind it has been established and known for centuries. It uses UV, or ultraviolet, light which has cleansing effects in very much the same way that sunlight can be a disinfectant.
During a UBI therapy, blood is drawn. It is then sent through a machine that emits an ultraviolet light. This machine cleanses the blood, like sunlight, with UV rays. In general, you can expect this treatment to kill bacteria and viruses. After your blood is cleansed, it simply gets returned to your system.
So to answer the question as to whether UBI therapy hurts? Not particularly. Perhaps just a little bit with the first insertion into the vein, but after that it shouldn’t be more than a little uncomfortable and most people don’t even find it to be that uncomfortable. And when you’re done with the procedure, you can go about your day. You should be feeling rejuvenated more than anything.
There’s another treatment offered at the Los Angeles-based RWA Center in Beverly Hills that isn’t too far afield from UBI therapy called Ozone therapy.
We mention this because Ozone therapy is, like UBI, a blood related therapy as well. In this therapy, however, blood is boosted with rich and pure ozone instead of cleaned with ultraviolet light.
Ozone therapy comes in two flavors. One is known as Major Autohemotherapy. This treatment is when you get highly purified ozone entered right into your blood. This raises the oxygen levels in your entire body. The other is called 10 Pass Hyperbaric Ozone Therapy. Here your blood is drawn, infused with ozone, and then is returned to your system. “10 Pass” refers to the number of times it is recommended you receive the treatment to receive the full benefits from it. Professionals also recommend continued maintenance treatments afterwards to continue receiving benefits. This all varies, of course, on the patient’s condition coming in so it is important to discuss all of this with one of our trained professionals ahead of time.
These blood-based treatments can be had at the Los Angeles-based RWA Center in Beverly Hills, purchased separately or in a package for savings. If you are interested, call (310) 407-0542 and you can get started on boosting your blood!

A NAD+ IV infusion typically takes between 2 to 4 hours to complete. The duration can vary depending on the dosage and the individual’s tolerance to the infusion rate. Some people may prefer a slower infusion to minimize potential side effects like nausea or discomfort, which can extend the session time. It’s usually administered in a medical or wellness clinic under professional supervision.
Experiences during a NAD+ IV infusion can vary from person to person. Some people report feeling a warming sensation or slight pressure at the infusion site. Others may experience mild discomfort, like nausea, headaches, or a sense of tightness in the chest, especially if the infusion rate is too fast. The effects can differ based on individual sensitivity and the rate of the infusion.
Each peptide is different, with dosages that can vary from person to person. In general, a vial of any peptide can last about 3-4 weeks. During the consultation, our provider will address dosing and how long the specific peptide will last for you.
No, our providers will address all your questions and concerns with you before your first appointment. Please eat and drink as normal.
In Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) with ozone therapy, a “pass” refers to the process of drawing a certain amount of blood from the patient, infusing it with a precise concentration of ozone gas, and then reinfusing the ozonated blood back into the patient’s body. Each pass represents one complete cycle of this process. In the context of multi-pass ozone therapy, multiple passes (or cycles) are performed during a single session to increase the therapeutic effects. For example, in a 10-pass ozone therapy, the process of drawing blood, ozonating it, and reinfusing it is repeated ten times. This technique is often used to enhance the oxygenation of blood, boost the immune system, and support overall healing. The number of passes used can vary based on the specific treatment goals and the patient’s condition.
The number of ozone passes you can do during a Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) session typically depends on your health status, treatment goals, and the protocol our provider will recommend during your initial visit. In your first visit, you can have 1, 2 or 3 passes of ozone therapy.
To receive more than 3 passes, our provider will have the G6PD test performed by a blood test. The results will indicate whether your G6PD enzyme activity is within the normal range, or if you have a deficiency.
The decision on the number of passes should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider, who will consider your individual needs and how your body responds to the therapy. Some patients may gradually increase the number of passes over time as their tolerance improves.
The amount of ozone administered in each pass during ozone therapy can vary depending on the specific treatment protocol and the patient’s needs. Generally, approximately 14,000μg of ozone is administered in each pass.
Each pass of ozone can take approximately 7-10 minutes, this varies from person to person.
A G6PD test measures the activity of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in your blood. This enzyme is crucial for the proper functioning of red blood cells, helping them to protect against oxidative damage. People with G6PD deficiency have lower levels of this enzyme, which can lead to the destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis) when they are exposed to certain triggers, such as certain foods, medications, or infections.The G6PD test is particularly important before undergoing treatments like ozone therapy or high-dose vitamin C therapy. These treatments can increase oxidative stress, which may be harmful to individuals with G6PD deficiency, potentially leading to hemolytic anemia.
