Question 289 of 433
What are ozone therapy and “EBOO”?
The short answer
Treatments that mix ozone gas with your blood. Avoid them. Federal regulations describe ozone as a toxic gas with no known useful medical application.
In the procedure sometimes called EBOO, blood is drawn out, passed through a filter with ozone, and returned. It is marketed for “detox,” infections, and longevity at $1,000 to $2,000 a session. There are no proper trials. The risks include air bubbles in the bloodstream, destruction of red blood cells, and infection.
