Short answer
People living with autoimmune conditions often ask us about EBOO. Here is what we can and can’t say. EBOO is not FDA-approved to treat any autoimmune condition, and research is still early.
Your provider will talk through whether EBOO may fit your overall plan alongside the care you already get. You keep your rheumatologist or specialist. We work alongside them.
This guide from Charleston Pain Relief Center in North Charleston, SC covers the questions people ask most, what a session is like, and who should skip it.
Please note: EBOO is a wellness service. Ozone therapy is not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Everyone responds differently.
What is an autoimmune condition?
Your immune system is your body’s defense team. In an autoimmune condition, it mixes up some of your own cells with invaders and goes after them. Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Hashimoto’s, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis and Crohn’s disease are a few examples.
Symptoms often come and go in waves called flares. Most people manage their condition with a specialist, prescribed medicines and daily habits like rest, good food and gentle movement. Living with it takes real effort, and it makes sense to look at every option.
Can EBOO help autoimmune conditions?
It is the question we hear most, and you deserve a straight answer. There is not enough research to say. Researchers are exploring how ozone and blood interact, and how that might relate to immune signals and inflammation. Most of that work is early: lab research, small studies and practitioner reports.
Because of that, we can’t promise you an outcome, and we won’t. What we can do is explain EBOO clearly, screen you carefully, and help you decide with your doctors.
What people living with autoimmune conditions ask us
“Will EBOO affect my medicines?” Bring your full list to your wellness call, including biologics, steroids and blood thinners. Your provider reviews it. Keep taking your medicines as prescribed.
“Can I come in during a flare?” Your provider may suggest waiting until you feel steadier. You decide the timing together.
“Will my rheumatologist be okay with it?” We encourage you to ask them. We are happy to share notes and work with your care team.
“How will I feel afterward?” Some patients tell us they feel more energy. Others feel tired the rest of the day and plan a quiet evening. Everyone responds differently.
Why some people choose EBOO
Many people choose EBOO as part of a wellness and longevity routine. People tell us they value a calm day set aside for themselves, with a team that explains each step and takes care of the details. For someone who spends a lot of energy managing a condition, that time to rest can feel like a gift.
What your EBOO day looks like
Here is a full EBOO day at our clinic, step by step. We go at your pace.
- Free wellness call. We learn your goals and answer your questions. Nothing gets booked until you feel ready.
- Quick labs. A simple blood draw for a CBC, CMP and G6PD test. Your provider reviews the results before your EBOO day.
- PEMF mat. Your visit starts on a PEMF mat, so you can relax and settle in.
- EBOO with full-spectrum light. You rest in a comfy recliner with two IV lines: one out, one in. A few liters of your blood loop through a special diffuser, where it meets ozone, then pass under full-spectrum light and flow back to you. Kayla Blann, FNP-C, oversees EBOO, and our team stays close the whole time.
- NEO red light bed. Next, a warm, relaxing session in our NEO red light bed.
- IV. An IV gives you fluids and nutrients before you head home.
- Power Plate. A few minutes of gentle vibration gets you up and moving for the drive home.
Who EBOO is not for
EBOO is a good fit for some people and the wrong fit for others. Your provider screens everyone first with labs and a health history review. EBOO is usually not offered if you:
- have a bleeding or clotting condition
- are pregnant
- have G6PD deficiency (that is why the G6PD lab comes first)
Please share every medicine and supplement you take, especially blood thinners. If your condition or medicines affect your blood or immune system, tell us. Your provider will look at that closely.
We work with your other doctors
EBOO is meant to sit alongside the care you already get, never in place of it. Keep seeing your rheumatologist or specialist, and keep taking your medicines as prescribed. Never change a medicine without talking to the doctor who prescribed it. Tell us about your doctors on your free wellness call, and we are glad to coordinate with them.
