A Patient’s Guide to EBOO: Understanding Your Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation Procedure

If your healthcare practitioner has recommended an EBOO procedure, you may have questions about what to expect. This guide is designed to walk you through the process, from preparation to post-procedure care, so you can feel informed and confident.

What is EBOO?

EBOO stands for Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation. The procedure is designed to target your health at a cellular level, aiming to:

• Improve mitochondrial function: Mitochondria are the “powerhouses” of your cells. By optimizing their function, you can boost cellular energy production.
• Reduce systemic inflammation: Chronic inflammation is at the root of many health issues. EBOO works to decrease this inflammation throughout your body.
• Balance out your immune system: The procedure helps modulate your immune system, bringing it back into a state of balance.

The EBOO Procedure: What to Expect

During an EBOO session, two IV lines are started—one in each arm. One line draws a small, continuous amount of blood from your body (the “red line”), and the other returns it after treatment (the “blue line”).

The procedure typically takes about an hour, during which approximately two liters of your blood are treated. As your blood circulates outside your body, it is exposed to a precise combination of oxygen, ozone, and ultraviolet light. This process is designed to be highly efficient, treating a greater surface area of your blood with a lower concentration of ozone compared to traditional ozone IVs. This results in a much lower oxidative stress on the body.

Many patients find the procedure relaxing and may even take a nap. You might feel a bit cold as your blood is cooled slightly during circulation, so feel free to bring a blanket or ask the staff for one. Because ozone and ultraviolet light can lower blood sugar, you may feel hungry during the procedure. If you do, let your technician know so they can provide a snack or juice to keep you comfortable.

Preparing for Your EBOO Session

To ensure your EBOO procedure goes smoothly and you get the best results, follow these preparation steps:

• Eat a High-Protein Meal: About an hour before your appointment, eat a solid, high-protein meal (like steak and eggs). Avoid protein shakes, as they don’t provide the sustained energy your body needs to tolerate the procedure.
• Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Start drinking plenty of fluids the day before and the day of your session. Being well-hydrated makes it much easier for staff to start your two IV lines.
• Get a Good Night’s Sleep: While not always possible, aim for a good night’s sleep before your procedure to help your body feel rested.
• Don’t Fast: Make sure you’ve eaten before you come in. An EBOO procedure should not be done on an empty stomach.

After Your EBOO Procedure

Once the procedure is finished, you might experience one of three common reactions:

• Mental Clarity or an Energy Boost: This is a frequent outcome, as the process can optimize oxygen delivery and boost energy production in your cells.
• Sleepiness or Fatigue: This is your body’s immune system modulating. Just like when you’re sick and all you want to do is rest, your body may be signaling that it needs time to recover. If this happens, listen to your body—go to bed early and don’t be surprised if you wake up feeling amazing the next morning.
• Nothing at all: It’s also possible to feel no immediate changes. This is perfectly normal. Remember, even if you don’t feel a big shift, the cellular processes have been initiated, and the therapeutic effects are still at work.

Post-Procedure Care

To maximize the benefits of your EBOO ozone therapy session, follow these instructions:

• Avoid Alcohol and Inflammatory Foods: Steer clear of alcohol and inflammatory foods, especially sugar, for the rest of the day. You’ve just worked to reduce inflammation in your body, so you don’t want to counteract those benefits.
• Drink Lots of Fluids: EBOO can open up your detoxification pathways. Drinking plenty of fluids will help flush out toxins and waste products.
• Ask Your Practitioner: Talk to your healthcare provider about ways to further support your body’s healing process. They may recommend additional therapies, like an infrared sauna, or specific supplements to maximize your results.

By following these simple steps, you can help your body get the most out of your EBOO treatment. If you have any questions or concerns during your procedure, remember to communicate openly with your practitioner.
