UV-Aid's ground breaking patented technology helps prevent the common cold, flu, sore throats, and ear infections safely and effectively by stimulating the body's immune system to kill bacteria and viruses in the ear, nose, and throat where infections begin and then maintaining good health through the activation of memory immune cells.

UVA Light Inactivates COVID-19

UV-Aid helps prevent viral infections of all types including the Corona Virus or COVID-19. This is what we know: COVID-19 is very deadly, maybe 10 times more deadly than the common flu, can live on surfaces for days, is transmitted through the air, and is very contagious as multiple and large clusters are forming on a daily basis. One reason why the virus is so dangerous is that in some cases it incubates for days or weeks before showing symptoms in patients.

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) has just come out with a recommended treatment for COVID-19. The report states COVID-19 can be effectively "inactivated" by ultraviolet light. UV-Aid emits Ultraviolet A light, the safest and most effective UV light on COVID-19.

COVID-19 surrounds itself with fat or lipid cells to shield itself from the immune system. UVA light effectively oxidizes lipid cells meaning when lipid or fat cells are exposed to UVA light the chemical chains that hold them together are broken. What is left is a vulnerable virus for the innate or non-cellular immune system to engulf and digest the virus. the remaining information from the virus is used to produce antibodies.

UVA Light Heightens the Immune Response

What we already know about the human immune system that is well understood and accepted by the medical community is: When the body is injured, for example getting a cut, it releases a cocktail of chemicals known as cytokines that signals the immune system to go to that area and thoroughly check out what is going on and if there is a foreign pathogen, it will kill it and document it so when the next time this event happens the body will be ready with its compliment of memory immune cells. One of the key chemicals first released when the skin is disturbed is hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is known as an effective anti-viral and anti-bacterial compound and additionally it is a strong signaling agent for the immune system to go to a specific area in the body. Since the corona virus is effectively transmitted through the air, the respiratory system is most at risk. Creating a hydrogen peroxide signal in the respiratory system keeps the immune system on high alert and greatly increases the likelihood that the Corona Virus does not go undetected before it caused a full fledged infection. The question is how can this be done safely and effectively? When human skin is exposed to the Ultraviolet A portion of sunlight it produces hydrogen peroxide through the natural process of photo-oxidation. UVA has been proven safe on skin by multiple studies. When UVA light is directed into the nose, mouth, throat, and ears, the human immune system reacts to this and sends its full compliment of defenses.

Every year over 500 million cases of the common cold, flu, and ear infections are reported in the USA. The annual cost is more than a hundred billion dollars. Since its introduction in 2010, after ten years on the market and millions of supplemental light treatments, UV-Aid has over a 95% customer satisfaction record. UV-Aid helps prevent colds, flu, and ear infections regardless of age, race, or sex. UV-Aid inventor Kevin McGuire had a history of suffering the typical 4-5 colds per year in addition to the occasional flu and used a nebulizer every day. Since first use in 2010 Kevin has only had 3 minor colds and no flu. During the last 6 years Kevin has been perfectly healthy. His story is not unique. A scientific paper co-authored by Dr. Praveen Arany, a recognized expert in the field of Photobiomodulation, will soon be published.

Now UV-Aid is better than ever! A New, Improved UV-Aid is even more effective in helping to prevent disease with 50% more hydrogen peroxide production capability.

Additional Information

UV-Aid's light helps the body kill germs in the ear, nose, and throat where infection starts. Areas of skin exposed to UV-Aid produce hydrogen peroxide through a process called photo-oxidation. Hydrogen peroxide works to attract and activate white blood cells as first reported by Harvard Medical in 2009. White blood cells are a key part of the body's immune response providing immediate and long term defense against infection. In a recent study published in Nature (December 2016) it was reported that other white blood cells called "T helper cells" located near the surface of the skin are activated by wavelengths of light emitted by UV-Aid. T cells work in the short term to fight infections and signal other white blood cells to the area of infection. T Cells called memory cells continue to work to long term to keep the body free from infection. Click on the picture below to play video explaining how UV-Aid helps keep you healthy.

Hydrogen peroxide's role in signaling the immune system to a specific area in the body has been studied extensively over the past seven years. In the ground breaking study by Harvard Medical School published in Nature June, 2009 they reported, "the first evidence that H2O2 signals to leukocytes (white blood cells) in tissues" Since then other researchers have come to the same conclusion including the University of Bristol. In their study, hydrogen peroxide is shown in real time attracting neutrophils (an early responding white blood cell) in a living organism. Click on video below to watch.

Researchers from Harvard University were the first to discover that hydrogen peroxide also acts to signal white blood cells to the area to fight germs and help prevent the onset of disease. Click on the image below to play the Harvard video showing white blood cells being attracted to hydrogen peroxide.

It only takes a few seconds for the UV-Aid light directed into your mouth, nasal, and ear cavities to produce the necessary amount of hydrogen peroxide. Once the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has performed its task of attracting white blood cells and killing germs, the body breaks it down into the harmless by-products of water (H2O) and oxygen (O). Nature's perfect solution to preventing infection and illness! UV-Aid is safe for you and all your family. Four daily treatments are equivalent to being outdoors for less than a second.

After TEN years on the market and millions of supplement treatments, UV-Aid has over 95% customer satisfaction record. Customers use UVAid for the prevention of a wide range of ailments, including colds, flu, sore throats, and ear infections. UVAid users that used to suffer and average of 5-6 colds a year are now reporting an average 0-1 per year. Click on tab above to read customer testimonials.

How to Use UV-Aid

To use UV-Aid for Nasal and Ear Passages, simply place the light in close proximity to the opening of each nasal and ear passage for approximately 4-5 seconds each. For the Mouth/Throat, place the light in close proximity to the mouth and wand around for approximately 7-10 seconds (expose to the oral cavity is longer due to the increased area). You may want to use a mirror to help you direct the light to the cavities. Do not look directly into the beam and do not exceed recommended exposure times.

Application of UV-Aid can be done as a preventative measure three or four times a day, or after you have been in an enclosed area with people who have the sniffles or are coughing, or when you feel a cold or sore throat coming on. Customers report instant relief from sore throats and itchy nasal passages.

After applying UV-Aid to your nose, you may experience slight discharge from the nose. You may also experience a tin-like taste in you mouth after irradiating your mouth and throat. These minor side effects are positive signs the hydrogen peroxide is being produced. Symptoms usually last for less than a minute.

UV-Aid for nasal passages

This natural process is perfectly safe on skin and only works on the invading bacteria and viruses and does not affect the surrounding cells.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is UV-Aid safe? Yes, a full day UV-Aid treatments (20 seconds) is equivalent to less than 1 second in the sun. UV-Aid uses UVA light proven to be safe by multiple sources including University of Texas MD Anderson Center, International Commission of Standards, and NASA.

Does UV-Aid use the same type of UV light used to sterilize toothbrushes and other instruments? No. The type of light used to sterilize objects like toothbrushes is UVB and UVC light. UV-Aid only uses UVA light which has been proven to be safe and effective on the nose and skin.

Does UV-Aid help prevent diseases? Yes, UV-Aid helps direct the white blood cells to parts of the body susceptible to germs that cause sickness,

Is UV-Aid more effective than washing your hands? Hand washing will always be an important defense against disease. UV-Aid kills germs in areas of your body that are hard to reach such as your nasal cavities where diseases fester and start.

Is there proof UV-Aid works? Many scientific papers have been written on photo-oxidation, the production of hydrogen peroxide from the skin's exposure to UV light. Recently, many researchers have confirmed the role hydrogen peroxide plays in marshaling the innate immune response. In addition, the germ killing abilities of hydrogen peroxide are well known. UV Technologies sponsored laboratory studies have shown a dramatic decrease in bacterial colony counts when human skin is exposed to UV-Aid light.

Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? Kevin McGuire, founder and President of UV Technologies has over twenty patents related to UV, daylight, and other light sources. He developed UV-Aid after suffering from multiple colds every year in Western New York after unsuccessfully trying all the traditional treatments like, Vitamin C, Saline Sprays, and over the counter cold products.

Will I get sunburn from UV-Aid?No. UV-aid uses UVA rays. UVA rays do not burn the skin, only shorter UVB rays burn the skin. UVA rays are safe.

Is it safe for children?Yes, if you follow the suggested exposure limits. UV-Aid exposes your child to much less UV than if you took a stroll with them outside. There is also growing evidence showing increased incidences of ear infections in children with less sunlight exposure.

When should I use UV-Aid? Use UV-Aid before you go out in the morning, before you go to bed, and other times throughout the day when you feel youve come in contact with someone who is sick or if you feel any tickle in your nose or soreness in your throat. Do Not Use More Than 4 Times a Day. Also wash or disinfect your hands as UV-Aid cannot help stop infections caused by germs transmitted from the hands to eyes.

How does UV-Aid help prevent ear infections? The inner ear has one of the highest concentrations of melanin in the body. Melanin produces hydrogen peroxide. We recommend using UV-Aid on ears as a matter of practice to help prevent ear infections.

Is it safe to shine it in my eyes? No. We do not recommend you shine any form light in your eyes, but in the event you accidentally shine the light in your eyes, the amount of UV your eyes are exposed to outdoors is many times the UV emitted by UV-Aid.

Do you guarantee it will work? Good hygiene, rest, and good eating habits supplemented with the use of UV-Aid is the best way to remain healthy. Good health is achieved with a proper balance of all the elements.

When should I use UV-Aid? Use UV-Aid before you go out in the morning, before you go to bed, and other times in the day when you've come in contact with large crowds or with someone who is sick, or you feel a tickle in your nose or throat. Do not use more than four times a day and use as directed.

How do I know if my UV-Aid is working at optimal strength? You should change your batteries every 4-5 months with regular use. Shining UV-Aid light on the cut out it was packaged in is a good safe measure of light strength.

How long is my UV-Aid guaranteed for? We guarantee UV-aid for one year except for batteries.

What is the best way to administer UV-Aid? We recommend using a mirror in your bathroom, in your purse, or car to confirm accurate aim of the UV light, otherwise with practice you get better without a visual aid.

Are there any side effects? Occasionally you may get a tin-like taste in your mouth or discharge from the nose or you may sneeze when irradiating the nose. These minor side effects are reminders UV-Aid is working.

Can I get reimbursed by my health insurance company for the cost? No, not at this time

In addition to helping prevent colds and flu, can UV-Aid help prevent bad breath? Yes, the hydrogen peroxide created with UV-Aid address areas in your nasal passages that liquid mouth washes cannot get to.

Mrs.

I purchased a UV Aid last year and for the first year, in many, I did not have my usual sinus infection, cold or the flu. The UV aid definitely seems to have worked for me. I would certainly recommend giving it a try being mindful to follow the instructions given.

So far so good!

When I get a cold it typically lasts for months, so anything that can keep me well, or shorten the duration of colds or flu is of interest to me. I saw this online and I was intrigued, especially since it's so easy to use, and not the least bit unpleasant. I've had it for a few months now, and whenever I feel like I might be coming down with something, or if I've been around sick people I use it. I have also used it on my kids when they had runny or stuffy noses and so far we've all stayed well. I would recommend this product!

Ms.

When I heard about UV-Aid from a friend I immediately saw the benefit of having several on hand. I have not been disappointed. I have a small 5X magnification mirror glued to my bathroom mirror so if the canker sore is in the front of my mouth I can actually watch it healing. You read that correctly. Be sure to follow directions. It doesn't take very long. I have seen it clear up white spots (I assume infections) where I have bitten the inside of my lower lip. It's fantastic. I recommend it to everyone.

Mrs

The UVAid works amazing! My family was getting illness after illness from December to March and after we started using it we stopped getting sick. My 3 year old for the last couple of years has been getting sinus and ear infections 3-4 times a winter season that would last for 3 weeks or more. Now when he shows signs of illness we use it on him and the symptoms are gone in a day or two. It really works great!
