I've actually received a version of whole blood UV treatment about 10 years ago. For whatever reason I ended up feeling euphoric, memorably so, one of the best days of my life. It may have something to do with the fact that I was given oxygen after I started to faint after I saw the blood being withdrawn.

I collected a lot of papers about this modality and related ones. I can share them if anyone would like. I will not be able to comment on them and I am not a medical professional. Perhaps this was simply the placebo that appealed to me.

But the reason I sought out this treatment is that it is practiced by a doctor who was recommended to me by an MD PhD neurologist at Mayo Clinic. That doctor now does more with ozone gas than he does with ultraviolet blood irradiation. he considers it to be part of a class of "oxidative therapies" including very high doses of vitamin C.
