If you are searching for EBOO treatment, you probably have a practical question: what actually happens when you walk in? This guide walks through a typical visit so you know what to expect and what to ask before you decide.
What EBOO is, in one paragraph
EBOO (extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation) is a procedure in which blood is drawn, passed through a filter and exposed to an oxygen-ozone mixture outside the body, then returned. It is considered an investigational, wellness-oriented therapy and is not FDA-approved to treat any disease. For the full explanation, see What Is EBOO Therapy?
Before the first session: screening
A responsible clinic does not start with the machine. It starts with your history. Expect questions about current conditions, medications (especially blood thinners), prior procedures, and your goals. Lab work may be reviewed or requested first; you can read about what we look at on our lab testing page. Some people are not good candidates, and the screening is where that gets decided.
Access and setup
EBOO requires reliable access to your circulation, usually through veins in both arms. A clinician checks your veins, explains the setup, and makes sure you understand the consent paperwork. Ask who will be monitoring you during the session and what happens if you feel unwell.
During the session
Most people sit or recline while the circuit runs. Sessions generally take a couple of hours, so plan your day around it and ask the clinic for the exact time block. Many patients read, work on a laptop, or rest. Tell the team right away if you notice lightheadedness, chest discomfort, or anything unusual.
After the session
Staff will check your vital signs and the access sites. Common advice is to hydrate, eat something, and avoid heavy exertion that day. Ask for written aftercare instructions and a number to call with concerns. Our overview of EBOO side effects and safety covers what to watch for.
How many sessions, and what does it cost?
The number of sessions varies by person and by the plan you and your clinician agree on. We lay out pricing and packages openly on our EBOO therapy cost page. Insurance generally does not cover EBOO.
Questions worth asking any clinic
- Who screens me, and what would make me a poor candidate?
- What is being claimed, and what is the evidence behind it?
- Who is monitoring me during the session?
- What are the total costs, including any add-ons?
