In the evolving landscape of wellness, San Diego has long been a hub for innovative and cutting-edge therapies. One such treatment is Extracorporeal Blood Ozone and Oxygenation, or EBOO.<\/p>\n
EBOO is making waves in the functional medicine community, both in San Diego and beyond. While ozone therapy itself has been utilized in medical settings for over a century, EBOO represents a significant technological leap, offering a more comprehensive approach to blood purification and systemic detoxification.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what you should know.<\/p>\n
A New Standard for Blood Oxygenation <\/p>\n
For many local patients, the journey toward EBOO begins when traditional methods, such as standard IV therapy in San Diego<\/a>, doesn\u2019t yield the desired results, according to Dr. Tere Memun, a naturopathic doctor at Avena Natural Health in Solana Beach.<\/p>\n EBOO, Dr. Memun explained, is an advanced medical therapy that removes blood from the body to filter it, infuses it with medical-grade ozone and oxygen, and then returns the purified blood to the patient.<\/p>\n \u201cSo it\u2019s kind of like a way of cleaning the blood and adding oxygen and ozone, which help a lot with things like chronic infections, toxicity, inflammation, and immune modulation,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd so a lot of people who have chronic conditions really benefit from this sort of therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n Unlike standard ozone treatments that handle small amounts of blood in batches, EBOO operates as a closed-loop system, continuously filtering and oxygenating large volumes of blood in a single session.\u00a0<\/p>\n Essentially, the process is designed to act as a \u201creset button\u201d for a patient\u2019s circulatory system, specifically chronic infections, toxicity, and systemic inflammation.<\/p>\n Benefits of EBOO <\/p>\n The EBOO process is a precise clinical procedure. A typical session lasts between two to three hours, during which the patient relaxes while their blood circulates through a specialized machine.<\/p>\n One of the most visual aspects of the therapy is the transformation of the blood itself. According to Dr. Memun, the difference is so apparent that it can be seen with the naked eye.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a very distinct color that you can see after the blood is treated,\u201d Dr. Memun said. \u201cThe ozone and the oxygen will be added to it. And then, it usually gets a little bit more red.\u201d<\/p>\n Beyond the color change, the filtration system collects inflammatory molecules and fluids into a separate chamber, effectively \u201ccleaning\u201d the blood before it is returned to the patient.<\/p>\n \u201cSome people can feel a little bit of energy right after the treatment,\u201d she said. Others, she added, might feel some slight flu-like symptoms as the body processes the detox. However, for most patients with chronic inflammation, this detoxification process soon gives way to improved symptoms.<\/p>\nDr. Tere Memun, a naturopathic doctor at Avena Natural Health in Solana Beach <\/p>\n
