One of the nation's earliest and most experienced EBOO providers.
Advanced physician-supervised wellness therapy integrated into personalized care plans.
What Is EBOO Therapy? Understanding Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation
As interest in proactive wellness and personalized healthcare continues to grow, many patients are exploring advanced therapies that may complement a comprehensive health and wellness program. One therapy gaining attention in integrative and functional medicine settings is EBOO, which stands for Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation.
EBOO is a physician-supervised procedure that involves circulating blood outside the body through a specialized filtration and oxygenation system before returning it to the bloodstream. The process may also incorporate medical-grade ozone according to established protocols and practitioner discretion.
While EBOO has been utilized internationally for many years, it remains relatively unfamiliar to many patients in the United States. Understanding what the therapy is—and what it is not—can help individuals make informed decisions about whether it may be appropriate as part of their overall wellness plan.
Why Patients Explore EBOO Therapy
People choose to learn more about EBOO therapy for many different reasons. Some are focused on optimizing their overall health, vitality, and healthy aging, while others are searching for additional wellness options after living with persistent symptoms or complex health challenges.
At Florida Integrative Medical Center, EBOO is not viewed as a stand-alone therapy. Instead, it may be recommended as one component of a personalized, physician-directed care plan developed after a comprehensive evaluation of each patient's medical history, current health concerns, laboratory findings, and wellness goals.
Who May Explore EBOO Therapy?
✓ Individuals interested in proactive wellness
✓ Those seeking healthy aging support
✓ Patients pursuing an integrative approach to health
✓ Individuals with complex or long-standing health histories
✓ People looking for physician-guided wellness strategies
✓ Patients seeking to optimize vitality and resilience
Patients who inquire about EBOO often have a variety of health objectives, including supporting:
- Healthy circulation and oxygen utilization
- Overall vitality and energy
- Recovery and resilience
- Healthy inflammatory balance
- Immune system wellness
- Cardiovascular wellness
- Healthy aging and longevity
- General wellness and quality of life
Many individuals seeking integrative care also come to FLIMC with complex or long-standing health histories. These may include concerns related to chronic fatigue, brain fog, mold exposure, Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses, autoimmune conditions, or cancer support. While EBOO may be considered as part of a broader integrative wellness strategy, every recommendation is individualized and based on each patient's unique clinical presentation.
Because no two patients are alike, treatment recommendations are never based on a diagnosis alone. Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether EBOO—or another therapy—may be appropriate as part of their personalized wellness plan.
Experience Matters
Dr. John Monhollon recognized the potential of EBOO long before it became widely available in the United States. As one of the earliest physicians to incorporate EBOO into clinical practice, he helped pioneer its use in an integrative medicine setting.
Today, FLIMC has performed thousands of EBOO procedures for patients traveling from across Florida, throughout the United States, and internationally.
That combination of early adoption, extensive clinical experience, and personalized physician oversight makes FLIMC one of the country's most experienced EBOO providers.
What Does EBOO Stand For?
EBOO stands for:
Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation
- Extracorporeal means "outside the body."
- Blood oxygenation refers to exposing blood to oxygen.
- Ozonation refers to the controlled use of medical-grade ozone within the procedure.
The therapy utilizes specialized equipment designed to circulate blood through a closed-loop system where it may be filtered, oxygenated, and exposed to ozone before being returned to the body.
The procedure is performed under medical supervision and is distinct from standard intravenous therapies because blood is temporarily circulated through an external treatment system.
How Does EBOO Work?
During an EBOO session, blood is withdrawn through intravenous access and circulated through a specialized extracorporeal system before being returned to the body. The procedure takes place within a closed-loop circuit designed specifically for blood oxygenation, ozonation, and filtration.
As blood moves through the system, it may be:
- Exposed to medical-grade oxygen
- Exposed to carefully controlled concentrations of medical-grade ozone according to physician-directed protocols
- Passed through specialized filtration components incorporated into the EBOO system
- Continuously circulated and returned to the bloodstream throughout the session
Unlike many other ozone-based procedures that treat smaller volumes of blood intermittently, EBOO allows a significant volume of blood to circulate through the system during a single treatment session. The amount of blood processed and treatment duration may vary based on the patient's individualized care plan.
What Makes EBOO Different?
Several forms of ozone-based therapies are used within integrative medicine, including Major Autohemotherapy (MAH), Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI), and multi-pass ozone protocols.
EBOO differs because it continuously circulates blood through an extracorporeal filtration and oxygenation system throughout the treatment session rather than treating smaller blood volumes in multiple cycles.
Because of this continuous circulation process, EBOO is often viewed by practitioners as one of the more technologically advanced ozone-based procedures available in integrative medicine settings.
Patients interested in ozone therapies are encouraged to discuss the various options with their healthcare provider to determine which approach may be most appropriate for their individual health goals.
I discovered FLIMC while researching SOT treatments for Lyme. The person who attended me was kind, patient, and spent over 20 minutes discussing my situation and explaining the therapy. Unlike other places that charged high fees just for a consultation, FLIMC made me feel supported from the start.
Eventually, I chose to do Ozone EBOO therapy along with exosomes. These cutting-edge treatments are offered at only a few clinics nationwide.
Everyone at FLIMC is friendly, caring, and focused on safety. I’m still undergoing treatment, but I highly encourage anyone with complex chronic illnesses to reach out to Florida Integrative Medical Center.
Why Do Patients Explore EBOO Therapy?
Patients who seek EBOO are often looking for advanced wellness therapies that may complement a comprehensive health optimization strategy.
Individuals interested in EBOO frequently have goals such as:
- Supporting overall wellness and vitality
- Supporting healthy circulation and oxygen utilization
- Supporting resilience and recovery
- Supporting healthy immune system function
- Complementing nutrition, lifestyle, and wellness programs
- Pursuing proactive approaches to long-term health and wellness
Because every individual is unique, EBOO is typically incorporated into a broader personalized wellness plan developed in consultation with a qualified healthcare provider.
Understanding the EBOO System
One feature that distinguishes EBOO from many wellness therapies is its use of a specialized closed-loop circulation system.
During treatment, blood remains within a controlled extracorporeal circuit and is continuously monitored throughout the procedure. The system is designed to facilitate oxygenation, ozone administration, and filtration while maintaining a controlled treatment environment under physician supervision.
This advanced technology allows practitioners to incorporate EBOO as part of a comprehensive integrative wellness program tailored to the patient's needs.
EBOO and Ozone Therapy
One aspect of EBOO that often attracts attention is its incorporation of medical-grade ozone.
Ozone is a highly energized form of oxygen that has been studied for decades in various international medical and wellness settings. In EBOO procedures, ozone is administered according to specific protocols within the extracorporeal circulation system.
Practitioners who utilize ozone-based therapies generally view them as part of a broader wellness approach aimed at supporting physiological balance and overall health.
Patients should understand that ozone therapy remains an area of ongoing research and that clinical practices and regulatory environments may vary.
Dr. Monhollon was able to determine I had Lyme’s Disease as well as several infections and parasites. They drew my blood and sent it to Vibrant Labs. After a few weeks, the blood work returned describing the strains of Lymes and the co-infections that made me so sick. Dr Monhollon explained that they didn’t sell ‘packages’ and we were able to afford all the treatments he recommended. I immediately began infusions to strengthen me and blood was drawn for my first SOT. Since it takes a while for it to come back from Greece, they used this time for several EBOO treatments that made such a difference. That was my turning point. I went pleasure shopping for the first time and had hope for the first time.
I had a total of 3 SOT’s along with the EBOO’s. By April I was feeling really good.
Now it is mid-November and I feel like a new person. I do many physical activities now on a regular basis and haven’t had a nap in months. My husband can’t keep up with me and he hasn’t had to cook, clean or grocery shop since last spring! We couldn’t be more happy !!!
When I first arrived at Florida Integrative Medical Center I was hopeless. Now I have my life back!
Thanks for all of the meticulous expert care I received. All the staff was so friendly and supportive. I just can’t thank them enough. You will always have a special place in my heart.
