Advanced ozone therapy
EBOO stands for Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation. It’s the most advanced ozone therapy available in medicine (when we started providing this therapy to patients in July 2023).
The therapy removes blood from your body and runs it through a special filter, in a closed-circuit system. Via the filtering mechanism, a mixture of oxygen and ozone is pumped in a cross-current fashion. Then the treated blood is returned to your body after passing through ultraviolet and LED light therapy (UBI).
EBOO Therapy can help those:
- Addressing a specific health issue (more comprehensive list below)
- Focused on achieving a greater level of their optimal health
- Looking for an effective, safe, and legal tool to enhance recovery of tissues and improve performance (e.g. athletes – professional and amateur)
What can EBOO help with?
Improve mitochondrial function
Immune function
Chronic and acute infections (Fungi, bacteria, yeast, viruses, protozoa), chronic and acute inflammation, MSIDS (Multiple Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome), and Lyme disease and associated co-infections
Autoimmune complications
Endocrine health
Energy, fatigue, and metabolism
Cardiovascular support
Diabetes and blood sugar dysregulation disorders
Detox support
Athletic performance
Bone and joint health
Pain and tissue repair
Cellular respiration and autophagy
Mitochondrial support
Brain fog
Mycotoxin and mold complications
Oxygen utilization
Circulation
Digestive health
Cognitive health
Pain
EBOO is an extremely advanced and efficient ozone therapy.
In comparison with other high-dose Ozone/UBI therapy treatments:
- A single session treats a larger volume of your blood (approx. 2 liters) with 70,000-150,000 mcg of ozone over 50 minutes. This is compared to 300mL being used by high-dose Ozone.
- EBOO is done at a low concentration, but a higher dose than major autohemotherapy (MAH) or high-dose Ozone. This means it ozonates your blood much more effectively due to the volume of blood exposed and the increased surface area provided with the special filtration mechanisms.
- 1 EBOO treatment equals 6-10 high-dose Ozone/UBI treatments. This makes it more affordable and efficient when considering how many standard ozone sessions are needed in comparison.
EBOO treatment process
The treatment should take approx. 1 hour to complete. The amount of time may vary depending on a patient’s specific needs.
Before the initial EBOO treatment, we’re reviewing these labs to understand baseline levels for a patient:
- CMP (Comprehensive metabolic profile)
- CBC (Complete blood count)
- G-6PD (Glucose 6 phosphate deficiency enzyme) to assess for deficiency which predisposes one for hemolytic anemia
- Insulin fasting
- CRP (C-reactive protein)
- D-Dimer
Some patients can start EBOO right away, and some may need to gradually advance through a dosing process where they may start with lower (maybe our standard Ozone/UBI therapy) doses, then work into the higher doses that EBOO offers.
During the procedure, one vein will be accessed to remove the blood, and another to reinfuse the blood after it has been treated. This is a closed-loop system that preserves sterility, where the removal, treatment, and reinfusion of your blood is happening simultaneously.
Additional things to know about EBOO before/after treatment
It is crucial you eat a healthy meal with protein and nutritious fats, as ozone and UBI are known to affect blood sugar. Being well hydrated before your treatment is also important. This allows your veins to be more accessible, helping to ensure a successful treatment.
- You are not restricted in your normal activity.
- Some patients feel an immediate sense of well-being, mental clarity, less pain, more energy, and an improvement in symptoms. Others may feel lethargic, achy, fatigued, or just relaxed. Or some feel nothing in direct response to the initial treatment. All these feelings are normal, and you may feel all of these responses at different times throughout your treatment plan or through multiple treatments depending on how the therapy is impacting your physiology at the time of treatment.
- If you do experience fatigue, achiness, and ‘down’ feelings post your EBOO treatment, here are some things you can do:
- Make sure to eat clean and rest. If you feel more inclined to rest, try to do so, as rest is important when our bodies are in our most reparative state.
- Continue to take your supplements as instructed.
- Once you feel rested, stay in motion. Even if it’s just for a short walk. This will help circulation and lymphatic movement.
- Follow typical detox methods such as drinking distilled water, doing a sauna and/or red light light therapy session, ginger baths, enemas, lymphatic massage, etc.
