In our practice, we use a layered approach to care.
Most patients begin with foundational interventions that stabilize sleep, nutrition, metabolic function, and detoxification pathways. As those systems improve, I reassess and determine whether additional interventions are appropriate based on physiology, medical history, and timing.
EBOO is one of the therapies I may consider at that stage.
It is not routine. It is not used as a first-line intervention. It is powerful option within a broader medical plan.
What EBOO Is
EBOO stands for extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation.
During treatment, blood is withdrawn from one vein, exposed to a controlled concentration of medical-grade ozone, passed through a specialized filtration system, and returned through another vein over approximately one hour . During a session, approximately 1.8 to 3 liters of blood are treated .
Medical ozone consists of three oxygen atoms (O₃). While environmental ozone can be harmful if inhaled, medical ozone is administered in precise concentrations under established medical protocols and is never inhaled during treatment. The medical description of this is called Hormesis and the beneficial and harmful doses have been well studied and described in the medical literature.
Ozone therapy has been used internationally for over a century and has been studied extensively, with thousands of publications describing its biological effects and clinical applications .
Mechanism of Action
When ozone interacts with blood in controlled concentrations, it generates transient oxidative signaling. This signaling activates physiologic pathways described in the scientific literature, including:
-
Increased oxygen delivery and improved oxygen utilization
-
Enhanced mitochondrial energy production
-
Modulation of immune system activity
-
Upregulation of antioxidant defense mechanisms
-
Reduction of oxidative and inflammatory stress
The filtration component allows for the removal of circulating inflammatory byproducts and possibly other unwanted chemicals and toxins during the session.
Because blood circulates systemically, these effects are not confined to a single organ system.
Clinical Considerations
In our practice, EBOO is not positioned as a therapy for specific diseases.
I may evaluate its use when foundational care has been established and when additional systemic support at the level of circulation, immune signaling, and cellular metabolism is appropriate.
This may include cases in which persistent physiologic stress, immune imbalance, or systemic inflammation remain under evaluation as part of a comprehensive care plan .
EBOO is used as an adjunctive intervention within a broader treatment strategy. It is not a replacement for conventional medical management.
Safety and Contraindications
EBOO may not be appropriate for individuals with:
-
Pregnancy
-
Known G6PD deficiency
-
Active diverticulitis or diverticulosis
-
Bleeding disorders or low platelet counts
-
Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism
-
Certain photosensitive conditions
A full medical evaluation is required before proceeding.
When administered by trained medical professionals using established protocols, ozone therapy has demonstrated a strong safety record in clinical practice.
If you are unsure whether this applies to you, we can review it together during your next visit.
Regulatory Disclosure
EBOO is offered as a complementary therapy and is not intended to replace standard medical care .
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the ozone-oxygen mixture for the treatment, cure, or prevention of disease .
