Dr. David Minkoff explains why UVBI (Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation) has remained one of the most widely used therapies at LifeWorks Wellness Center for decades. In this video, he breaks down how UVBI combines ozone and ultraviolet light therapy to support detoxification, immune function, oxygenation, and overall healing.

You’ll learn what happens during a UVBI treatment, why the therapy was originally developed, and how it may help patients dealing with chronic illness, inflammation, infections, fatigue, and toxic overload. Dr. Minkoff also explains why UVBI is often combined with other integrative therapies as part of a comprehensive approach to restoring health.

Hi, Dr. Minkoff here. I want to talk to you about a treatment that I’m very excited about.

We’ve been delivering this at LifeWorks since 1998. We have probably done 80,000 or more of this particular treatment.

Why? Because it’s so good.

This therapy is called UVBI. Now, what does that stand for?

UV is ultraviolet BI is blood irradiation, which means to illuminate blood with UV light.

Now, this therapy is very old.

It goes back to probably the 1930’s, originally invented in Russia.

In those days, many women, after delivering a baby, would get infection and sometimes they would actually even die.

And Russian scientists developed this treatment so that after the doctor delivered the baby, they would run her blood through a machine where ozone was added to it, and then UV light was shined on it and it would kill the toxic bacteria and save the mother.

So this treatment has been brought forward.

We have now newer devices and newer ways to do it that are even better, but it’s very effective.

So how does it work?

We put an IV in your arm.
We pull out some blood with a syringe.
We add the blood to an IV bag that has saline in it and we add ozone to that mixture.
That blood, when it comes out of your vein, is dark blood.

It’s vein blood.

Once the blood with the saline is in the bag, ozone gas, which is hyper concentrated oxygen, is added into the bag with the blood, and the blood turns bright red.

So now we have very oxygenated blood.

That blood is then run back through that IV through a machine, which exposes it to ultraviolet light, which kills off bacteria and viruses and other blood-borne infections.

The ozone gas that is put into the IV bag and mixed with your blood has three main things it does in the body.

Number one, it purifies your blood. It kills bacteria, viruses and infections. If you have an infection in your blood or in your body, it will help to eliminate that.

Number two, it detoxifies your blood. Ozone detoxifies environmental toxins that have gotten into your body. It helps you to rid those.

Three, it boosts immunity. It also makes your own energy systems work better.

Any patient with a chronic illness will greatly benefit from receiving the UVBI treatment.

Depending on the patient’s condition, they may receive a UVBI a week or two, up to eight to 10 weeks.

When combined with the other aspects of your program, these treatments work synergistically to create true healing.

With regular use, you will notice the real tangible improvements that come from treating the whole body, not just the symptoms.

I hope this helps. I look forward to seeing you around the clinic.

Bye for now.
