Understanding the Differences and Overlaps
While EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation) includes blood filtration as part of its process, it is not the same thing as standard blood filtration. Instead, EBOO is a multi-step therapeutic procedure that combines blood filtration with medical ozone exposure and oxygenation, creating a more comprehensive physiological effect.
Key Differences
| Aspect | EBOO Therapy | Standard Blood Filtration (e.g., Hemoperfusion, Dialysis) |
| Purpose | Detoxification, immune modulation, oxidative therapy | Removal of specific toxins or waste (e.g., urea, creatinine) |
| Includes Ozone? | Yes – Medical ozone is a core component | No – Traditional filtration does not involve ozone |
| Oxygenation? | Yes – Blood is oxygenated during the process | No – Not part of standard filtration techniques |
| Immune Impact | Modulates inflammatory and immune response | Neutral – Focused on waste removal |
| Used For | Chronic inflammation, infections, detox, fatigue | Kidney failure, acute poisoning, metabolic imbalances |
Where They Overlap
Both EBOO and traditional blood filtration:
- Operate outside the body via an extracorporeal circuit
- Use medical-grade filters to remove waste or harmful substances
- Return the treated blood back to the patient in real time
However, EBOO goes further by using ozone and oxygen as biologically active agents, not just filters. These additions are believed to enhance cellular function, improve circulation, and trigger systemic healing responses.
