What EBO2 Is, How a Session Works, and What It Isn't

EBO2 is not FDA-cleared or approved for any indication. This page describes the procedure: what happens, who it isn't offered to, and what it does not do. It is general education, not medical advice.

What is EBO2?

EBO2 stands for extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation. It is sometimes called EBOO. Both names describe the same general procedure: blood is circulated outside the body through a filter, exposed to oxygen and ozone, and returned.

At Conscious Regenerative Medicine it is a physician-supervised, in-office procedure. Everyone starts with a 75-minute consult with Dr. Truc Nguyen, MD, and some people are told it isn't right for them.

How a session works

• Blood sugar check: on treatment day it is checked first. The session doesn't start below 95 mg/dL.
• Two IV lines, one in each arm, placed by the clinical team.
• About 45 minutes on the circuit: blood passes through the filter, the oxygen and ozone stage and a light stage called Hemealumen, and is returned.
• Monitored throughout by a physician, a nurse and a medical assistant.
• Home the same day. Plan for 60 to 75 minutes in the office.

Who EBO2 isn't offered to

We don't offer EBO2 to anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, has had an organ transplant, has an active bleeding condition or tends to bleed easily, or is menstruating on the day of treatment.

Dr. Nguyen also reviews, and may say no to: blood thinners or steroid medications, sulfa drugs, medications that cause sun sensitivity, a heparin allergy or G6PD deficiency, serious heart disease or emphysema, diabetes medication or a history of low blood sugar, and veins that are hard to access.

Risks and limits

Some people notice bruising at the IV sites, lightheadedness, tiredness afterward or a drop in blood sugar. The light stage can temporarily flare some existing conditions, such as asthma, sinus problems or rheumatic conditions. Dr. Nguyen goes through the risks for your situation at your consult.

The equipment used for EBO2 is not FDA-cleared, and EBO2 is not FDA-cleared or approved for any indication. We don't claim it treats, cures or prevents any disease. It doesn't replace care from your other doctors or change the medications they prescribe.

Cost and payment

The 75-minute initial consult is $397 and is required before any session. A single session starts at $1,697 and 3 sessions start at $4,197. EBO2 is not covered by insurance. Payment is self-pay; HSA/FSA cards and financing through Klarna are accepted. Whether HSA/FSA funds can be used depends on your plan.
