Understanding Full Spectrum EBOO
Full Spectrum EBOO is a complex process that revolves around the principle of externally enhancing a patient’s blood to increase its therapeutic properties. During this procedure, a portion of the patient’s blood is drawn via an infusion pump, exposed to a combination of ozone (O₃), oxygen (O₂) while filtering through a dialysis filter, then ultimately ultraviolet light, before being reintroduced into the bloodstream. The term “extracorporeal” denotes “outside the body”, emphasizing the external nature of this blood treatment. About 2 liters of blood is filtered during the entirety of the treatment.
Mechanism of Action – How Does it Work?
The foundational concept behind Full Spectrum EBOO rests on its ability to elevate the oxygenation level of blood while capitalizing on the medical attributes of ozone and ultraviolet light. Here’s how ozone, a triatomic molecule of oxygen, plays a pivotal role:
- Disinfectant Properties: A renowned disinfectant, ozone is known to obliterate bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi effectively. Its potency is well recognized in applications like water purification and medically supervised Autohemotherapy.
- Immune Modulation: There is increasing evidence that ozone can bolster the immune response, offering potential benefits in combating certain ailments.
- Reduction in Inflammation: The anti-inflammatory characteristics of ozone have been spotlighted in various research, pointing towards its potential in managing inflammatory conditions.
By infusing ozone, oxygen and ultraviolet light into the blood outside the circulatory system and reintroducing it, EBOO’s therapeutic purposes include potential benefits such as enhanced oxygenation, immune system support, and the inactivation of pathogens.
Applications of EBOO
EBOO‘s versatility extends to several medical conditions, reflecting its multifaceted potential:
- Cardiovascular Diseases: Given its reputed capabilities of enhanced oxygenation, EBOO is being investigated as a prospective treatment modality for cardiovascular anomalies.
- Adjunct Cancer Support: Though in preliminary stages, there’s burgeoning interest in the role of ozone therapy as a supplementary treatment in oncology. especially in conjunction with High Dose Vitamin C infusions.
- Chronic Infections: Capitalizing on ozone’s robust antimicrobial traits, EBOO holds promise in managing lingering bacterial or viral afflictions such as Lyme, Candida and Herpes infections.
- Autoimmune Conditions: EBOO can be a powerful immune modulating procedure to help regulate a rogue TH1/TH2 response
- Surgical Procedures: EBOO is being assessed for its merits both pre- and post-operatively, with hopes of reducing infection risks, amplifying wound recovery rates, and possibly curtailing blood transfusion needs.
Benefits & Risks
As with all medical interventions, EBOO’s benefits must be judiciously weighed against potential risks:
Benefits:
- Enhanced blood oxygenation, potentially aiding cellular function and overall vitality.
- Antimicrobial effects may prove pivotal in combating infections.
- Modulation of the immune system, possibly offering resilience against certain diseases.
- Amplified wound recovery rates, especially pertinent in surgical contexts.
- Diminished inflammation, offering relief in conditions like arthritis or other inflammatory
- Improved Circulation: EBOO may promote better blood flow throughout the body. Improved circulation ensures that oxygen, essential nutrients, and hormones efficiently reach cells and tissues, promoting overall health.
- Reduced Inflammation Chronic inflammation is the root cause of many illnesses. EBOO’s ability to modulate the body’s inflammatory response can be pivotal in addressing the underlying causes of conditions such as arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and more.
- Boosted Immune System: Ozone therapy may enhance the body’s natural defense mechanisms. By stimulating white blood cells and releasing cytokines, it helps the body fend off infections and illnesses more effectively.
- Improved Wound Healing: EBOO’s potential to increase oxygenation at the cellular level can promote faster tissue repair and regeneration. This can be especially beneficial post-surgery or for chronic wounds that take longer to heal.
- Reduced Risk of Infection: By directly neutralizing pathogens and bolstering the immune response, EBOO can decrease the susceptibility to infections, both bacterial and viral.
- Reduced Pain: Several patients undergoing EBOO therapy have reported relief from chronic pain. This could be attributed to its anti-inflammatory effects and its potential to repair damaged tissues.
- Reduced Swelling: Inflammation often leads to swelling or edema. By managing inflammation, EBOO can aid in reducing swelling, especially in conditions like postoperative edema or sports injuries.
- Reduced Bruising: Enhanced circulation and tissue repair mechanisms can lead to faster resolution of bruises, benefiting those who bruise easily or have sustained injuries.
- Improved Cognitive Function: Though more research is needed in this area, some individuals have reported enhanced focus, clarity, and cognitive functions after EBOO sessions. This could be linked to better circulation and reduced inflammation in the brain.
- Reduced Fatigue: Chronic fatigue, irrespective of its cause, can be debilitating. By improving oxygenation and reducing the body’s overall inflammatory load, EBOO might offer relief to those suffering from persistent tiredness.
- Increased Energy: A direct consequence of improved circulation, oxygenation, and nutrient delivery is a noticeable boost in energy levels. Many patients report feeling rejuvenated and more energetic post-EBOO therapy.
Risks:
- Transient symptoms like nausea and vomiting.
- Possible headaches or dizziness post-procedure.
- Rare but grave complications like seizures or cardiac anomalies especially when proper medical history is not obtained
- Risks of infection from the invasive nature of blood withdrawal and reintroduction if not performed properly
Given these risks, it is paramount that EBOO is conducted only by adept healthcare professionals in sterilized, appropriate settings.
Techniques and Protocols
Different protocols for EBOO have emerged based on the condition being treated, individual patient needs, and the advancement in technology. One pivotal factor is the concentration of ozone: a lower concentration often translates to a higher safety margin and reduced risk of side effects. The exact duration of the session and the volume of blood treated also vary.
Comparison with Other Ozone Therapies
EBOO isn’t the only form of ozone therapy. There’s also Major Autohemotherapy (MAH), where blood is drawn, mixed with ozone, and then reintroduced, but in smaller volumes compared to EBOO. While MAH uses about 60-360ml of blood, EBOO filter’s approximately 2 liters. Each method has its unique set of applications, benefits, and challenges.
EBOO and Detoxification
One EBOO benefit is its potential to support detoxification. Ozone’s oxidative potential might aid in neutralizing certain toxins and enhancing the body’s innate detox mechanisms by upregulating antioxidants and specific immune cells responsible for attacking pathogens and toxins.
Future Directions
EBOO represents just one facet of the diverse arena of ozone therapies. Emerging areas of exploration include its implications in promoting longevity, enhancing athletic performance, and its incorporation into biohacking regimens.
