UVLX anyone?

I did UBI (similar but different) w/ozone last year, and it was that treatment that put Lyme into remission for me. I felt FANTASTIC for about 8-9 months and then it seems some co-infections (or completely different Lyme symptoms) smacked me back to reality. I did 2 per week for 1 month, 1 per week for 1 month and 1 every other week for 2 months. I didn't quite do enough in my opinion.

I have done 4 UVLrx treatments so far. My LLMD wanted me to compare the 2. I notice a very intense reaction from UVLrx, which is a positive thing. Each reaction different. First one hit my kidneys, 2nd my hormones, 3rd my digestion and the 4th was more overall flu like reaction. I think it i s working great, but that I need to support the cytokine storm and immune system better.

I am a terrible phase 2 detoxer, but I take supplements to help that, plus I do 6-8 other detox methods daily...

I will be starting Buhner when the tinctures arrive. I am currently reading his mycoplasma/bartonella co-infection book.

LoL - I know the feeling. Honestly, I did go into remission with UBI. With that, they take a syringe of blood out, add ozone, run it thru a 4 bulb (2 UVA, UVB, UVC) light box and back into you.

UVLrx, to me, seems to give an instant HERX. I think it is actually a little more intense, but I don't mind that either. There is a clinic in Chicago that is open 7 days per week, and I go on Sunday morning. When I come home, I can generally lie down for a few hours and let it run it's course. I have not missed any work from the HERXing, although I've been close!!

I did genetic test last summer, so at least I understand that detox issue now.

@cr3 -- No. I imagine the number of treatments would vary per person. I guessed at 16 UBI. I was going to 20 but felt so darn good that i stopped. It was hard on my veins, pulling the blood out. At first my blood was black and very thick. by then end it was nice & red & much more cooperative.

The UVLrx is less invasive, meaning they never take anything out. The catheter that goes in just stays there the entire treatment. It is very relaxing (at least at the place I go). Private room, dim lights, tv if you want. i generally chill or read a book. The UVL lasts 1 hour.

I have been doing 2 Sundays in a row, take a Sunday off, 2 Sundays in a row and I am taking this weekend off. Most of it is because I live in the suburbs and cannot get down every weekend. We have a huge dog rescue event happening Saturday, so Sunday I know I need to rest.

... but I also take a break to give my veins a break. This place is awesome and has gotten in my inner arms on both sides. They don't like hands cause the catheter is pretty long. I have vein issues so I need to be wary of it.

I also HERX like a mad woman, so taking it slowly with my body is necessary. i find 2 in a row on Sunday gives me the feeling of needing a break but by the time 2 weeks goes by it's like the drug I need and I cannot wait for treatment time... that's sad I realize, LoL...

I am hoping for improvement once the herbs arrive... start super slowly, start super slowly... anyone else have to remind themselves to be smart? I can make bad decisions on speed...

I am just so frustrated. I was practically symptom free and fine in June. Now I am four days fine, one day horrible, 5 days fine, one day horrible, etc. I am grateful for my good days though, really. I just don't want to keep searching when maybe there is no answer....

I'd love to try it. I used to have fish tanks and I had zero algae, because I ran the water thought UV radiation :) I can relate to it!

Is it most for Babesia or does it work on Bart?

UVL and Ozone IV one after the other. I think they really help I wish I lived closer to
my doc I would do more

Is Uvlx the same as blood irradiation or "PHOTO OX" This is where they removed some blood and then ran it through a tube with UV light. I did a series of these treatments in 1998 and did not notice any improvement.

In 2003 I spent a month doing Ozone treatments (6days a week, as I recall) - where they took some blood out and treated it with ozone and then dripped it back in via IV. (Oh the places my sad veins have been!) I had no noticeable improvement with that either.

In 2003, I was eating a raw foods diet and doing colonics as a way to detox. Other than that there was nothing that anyone was doing to detox - so maybe my lack of improvement was from toxins and a crappy system that hangs on to too much....... Or maybe these therapies didn't get what needed to be killed? The mysteries of life in the tick borne world! I did give them a good shot.

I recently read that oxidative therapies are not for everyone. That there are some sub types that are harmed by these and can cause a greater risk of cancers....(it might have been Suzy Cohen writing about this?) Has anyone else heard this?

Maybe things are different now but I was not helped. However my lyme doctor said there is not one thing that universally helps everyone and there is not one thing that universally helps no one. I am so glad that some are helped!

Epidural UV? that would hurt..

I read on another forum it also kills white cells so treatments probably have to be spaced out to recover.

In blood bank circles they use UV for patogen inactivation, so the concept is not new.

I have several posts on this subject. Suggest you look up my previous post on UBI. I also tell you how to build your own machine.

lol was just going to say, Claude has built a machine, there is a previous thread on this here

I did some more research on the UVLrx, and I found the actual patent for it. It has some of the science behind it, an a table with the light intensity needed for different bacteria.

I missed this thread for a while. I know the UVLrx cleans your blood, and that will break thru the blood brain barrier. UBI did as well, but not nearly as much blood circulates with UBI. I haven't read anything regarding WBC die off doing this treatment... I am due for blood work in a few weeks though, so it will be an interesting thing to watch.

I am doing one UVLrx for 2 weeks on Sunday, then 1 week off. I have done 4 so far. I did 16 UBI treatments last year, with both ozone and UV light treating the blood. UBI/ozone put my Lyme into remission for a good 8-9 months.

Now I feel as if I am fighting co-infections as my symptom list is totally different. It seems like a slam dunk babesia thing, but it could be bart as well... with the shin and foot pain... ugh. Silly overlapping symptoms...

UVLrx seems to really make me herx. the herx seems more instant and intense. Each time has been different. I always felt fairly euphoric right after UBI... likely due to the ozone. I didn't herx after the 3rd UBI treatment. I just got better and better...

I know nothing works the same for everyone, but I'm grateful I found this option for me, as abx did nothing but make me miserable.
