Ozone dialysis is EBO2.
SUMMARY: EBO2, also called “ozone dialysis” which includes UV light treatment of the blood, involves two catheters, where blood is removed from the body, filtered and ozonated in a dialysis style machine, treated with light and returned to the body. It is safe (see studies). This delivery method is 3.3x more effective than other ozonation methods.
There are many ways to deliver ozonation to the blood.
These are not new. Ozonation has been advocated to treat many different ailments- from healing issues, autoimmune, and inflammatory issues- and it is thought to be safe (They have reported on over 4000 cases in this review.) Ozonation has been given by different forms- rectally, in hyperbaric oxygen chambers, and by infusing it directly into the blood stream. (see below).
- You can infuse ozone into your blood stream. DIV. “The DIV procedure involves introduction of a 27-gauge butterfly needle and slow instillation of an ozone gas mixture instilled into the vein. Volume usually begins at 20 mL of gas and concentration usually begins at 30 μg/mL ozone. Maximum volume ranges from 60 mL to 120 mL of gas.”
- HBO3 “200 mL of blood is withdrawn under vacuum into a glass container, 200 mL ozone gas mixture at a concentration of 70 μg/mL is added under pressure up to 2 ATA (hyperbaric, 1 ATA = 760 mmHg), and then the treated blood, still under pressure within the glass bottle, is returned to the patient. (The treatment and return of 200 mL of blood with ozone is called one “pass” HBO3).” This can be done with more passes to improve ozonation.
- Major autohemotherapy MAH. “withdraws a specified amount of blood (usually 200 mL) into a plastic bag and the addition of an equal volume of ozone gas (general concentrations of 20-50 μg/mL). The gas and blood phases are gently mixed and then the ozonated blood returns to the patient.”
EBO2 started in 2005. It was used in animals and later in humans, showing few side effects, but true improvements in hard to treat issues like necrotizing fasciitis and peripheral artery disease. The thought with the ozone dialysis is that it can give much higher levels of ozonation than the older techniques.
This study
“Ozone dialysis delivers three or more times the ozone than other forms of ozone blood treatment ” in Medical Gas Research, September 2022, supports that ozone dialysis is a much more effective way of ozonating the blood than the other traditional methods.
They corrected for ozone loss from the tubing and apparatus, adjusted for blood flow, pump speed, and catheter size. They studied 12 patients with 85 measurements to see the changes during the treatment.
Findings?
- DIV–> 800 μg of ozone injected.
- MAH -> 6000–14,000 μg of ozone (which could be affected by plastic collection bag absorption).
- Hyperbaric ozone single pass HBO3 –> delivers 14,000 μg ozone.
- High-dose hyperbaric ozone –10 passes of HBO3–> delivers 140,000 μg of ozone.
- Ozone dialysis at a concentration of 30 μg/mL and a blood flow of 30 mL/min can easily deliver 3.28 or more times (460,000 μg) the amount of ozone delivered by the 10-pass method.
- With use of 18-gauge catheters, and much higher blood flow, we would expect delivery to be significantly higher.
What do we think at Biohackr Health?
We are fans of EBO2. This is the forefront of biohacking. There are not many studies (yet) on exactly what ozonation of the blood does, but it seems promising, and ozone dialysis is newer (and according to this study more effective in ozonation levels). This is not a FDA approved treatment. We see many studies which indicate it helps people, particularly with those harder to treat issues – healing issues, autoimmune, inflammation. See our I got Biohacked Series. EBO2 patient video
If you are going to do ozonation, it makes sense to do a treatment which gives you a much higher level of ozonation in the blood.
