The Untold Story Behind UBI Therapy
There’s a rather intriguing treatment known as UBI therapy that is gaining a lot of traction in the medical world for its various potential benefits.
But just what is UBI therapy? If you don’t know yet, this is the blog for you. Here, we’ll reveal the untold story behind this fascinating treatment.
The first part of the story is learning about what UBI even means. UBI is short of “ultraviolet blood irradiation” which can be quite a mouthful. It’s not too complicated, though. In fact, this treatment, which is considered to be safe by multiple studies and shown to have no recorded ill side effects, uses a science that goes back for many centuries.
Scientists hundreds of years ago found that UV, or ultraviolet, light can have cleansing effects, similar to how sunlight may be a disinfectant. The thought then became, how can we harness this power and use it to potentially aid the body? If you’re thinking that you could use UV to potentially kill bacteria and viruses in a patient’s bloodstream, boost their immunity, and rejuvenate their blood overall, then your thinking is right in line with the scientists who conceived UBI therapy.
During the treatment, blood is drawn from the patient and passed through a machine that hits it with an ultraviolet light, thus cleansing the blood with UV rays. This treatment is expected to kill bacteria and viruses and after the treatment is completed, the blood returns right back to the patient’s system.
The therapy is usually reported to cause very little if no discomfort. Usually just with the first insertion into the vein to begin drawing blood but after that, most people don’t find it to be too uncomfortable. The treatment also needs no downtime to recover. Patients can return to their day after treatment and, in fact, many report feeling more rejuvenated after the procedure if anything.
UBI is offered at the Los Angeles-based RWA Center in Beverly Hills and here’s another part to the story: it’s somewhat similar to another treatment offered there.
Ozone therapy is another blood based treatment that many patients are considering to aid them in their health. In this treatment, a patient’s blood gets filled with pure, rich ozone to give it an extra boost.
There are two types of Ozone therapy. The first is called Major Autohemotherapy. In this treatment, a patient receives highly purified ozone right into their blood. This therapy raises the oxygen level in the patient’s entire body. The second type of therapy is called 10 Pass Hyperbaric Ozone Therapy. A patient’s blood is drawn, infused with ozone, and returned to their system. It is called “10 Pass” because, for full benefits, that is the number of times recommended that a patient receive treatment. Medical professionals may also suggest that a patient receive continued maintenance treatments to continue receiving the health benefits from treatment. (The patient’s condition when first coming in to receive treatment may vary and thus recommendations may vary as well, so this has to be discussed with a medical professional beforehand.)
So there is the untold story behind UBI therapy. An exciting treatment with origins in centuries-old science. If you’re interested in such a treatment, visit the Los Angeles-based RWA Center in Beverly Hills. You can opt for UBI therapy on its own, or get it in a package with Ozone therapy for some amount of savings. Call (310) 407-0542 and set up an appointment to learn more.

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.
