UBI - The Power of Light! Ultraviolet blood irradiation (simple called UBI) is a cure that time has indeed forgotten. UBI was extensively used in the 1940âs and 1950âs to treat medical conditions including pneumonia, tuberculosis and even cancer. The advent of antibiotics lead to a decline in the use of UBI as an effective treatment option.
PUVA (psoralen and ultraviolet A radiation) treatment has been used for decades to treat severe psoriasis. In this combination therapy, the psoralen, taken internally, acts as a skin sensitizer.The sensitized skin affected by psoriasis can then be treated by ultraviolet A radiation.UVA is also of benefit in treating vitiligo, mycosis fungoides (cutaneous T-cell lymphoma), and graft versus host disease. The most common form of therapy combines 8-methoxypsoralen taken by mouth followed 45-60 minutes later by exposure of the skin to UVA.
