Feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep, with energy that never quite comes back?
Struggling with brain fog, poor concentration, or a lingering sense that your body is "toxic"?
Getting sick more than you used to, with your immune system feeling weaker despite doing all the right things?
Dealing with chronic pain, joint stiffness, or inflammation that flares despite medications, clean eating, and rest?
Fighting recurring infections, mold exposure aftermath, Lyme, or post-viral symptoms that will not resolve?
Dealing with poor circulation, slow healing, or feeling like your body just isn't bouncing back like it used to?
Concerned about cardiovascular health, or recovering from surgery, injury, or intense athletic training?
Whether one or several of these sound familiar, IV ozone therapy may be a powerful tool to help your body reset, rebuild immunity, and heal from the inside out.
Ozone is medical-grade oxygen arranged as three oxygen atoms instead of two. When delivered to the blood in controlled, therapeutic amounts, it can activate immune responses, enhance oxygen utilization in your cells, reduce oxidative stress over time, and support your body's natural detoxification pathways.
Ozone has been used in European medical settings since the 1930s, and a substantial body of published research supports its role in immune support, circulation, and cellular repair.
At Lakeside, we offer two IV ozone therapies that work through different mechanisms and suit different clinical situations.
EBOO is an advanced therapy that gently circulates your blood through a specialized dialysis-style filter, where it is simultaneously cleansed of toxins and infused with medical-grade oxygen and ozone before returning to your body. Think of it as a deep cleanse for your bloodstream, combined with the cellular revitalization that ozone therapy has been refined over decades to provide.
During one EBOO session, a significantly larger volume of blood is treated than with traditional ozone therapies such as major autohemotherapy (MAH). Whereas MAH treats roughly 200 mL of blood per session, EBOO can process multiple liters over the course of a 45-to-75-minute session, delivering a far deeper therapeutic impact in a single visit.

When fatigue, recurring infections, or toxic overload don't budge with conventional care, IV ozone therapies can offer a different kind of support, working with your body's own filtration, immune, and repair systems. At Lakeside Holistic Health, we offer EBOO and Ozone with UBI as part of a broader functional medicine plan, with careful screening and protocols matched to your biology. These therapies aren't a quick fix. They're tools we use responsibly, alongside the deeper work of finding and resolving what's actually driving your symptoms.
An EBOO session feels much like a longer, more thoughtful IV. You will be comfortably seated or reclined. Blood is drawn from one arm through a standard IV catheter, flows through the sterile closed-loop filtration and ozonation circuit, and returns through the opposite arm.
One of the most visually striking aspects of the treatment is how dark your blood looks as it leaves your body, a reflection of the inflammatory load, oxidative stress, and toxic burden it is carrying. As the blood cycles through the ozonation chamber and returns, patients can see it transform into a vivid, bright red, oxygenated, revitalized, and freshly filtered.
The session lasts approximately 45 to 75 minutes depending on your clinical plan. Afterward, the filter retains visible residues of what was cleared from your bloodstream. Most patients leave the clinic with a noticeable sense of lightness, improved mental clarity, easier breathing, and a feeling that "something good just happened."
During a Ozone/UBI session, a small amount of your blood is drawn and treated with both medical-grade ozone and specific ultraviolet light wavelengths. The ozonated and UV-treated blood is then returned to your bloodstream, where it can help activate immune responses throughout your body.
The ozone component provides therapeutic oxygen that can help energize cells, support detoxification, and enhance circulation. The ultraviolet component uses specific light wavelengths that have been shown to stimulate white blood cell activity and help the immune system become more efficient at recognizing and addressing pathogens.
A session typically takes 45 to 60 minutes and is performed in a comfortable clinical setting. Many patients notice improved energy and a sense of well-being within days of treatment.
At Lakeside Holistic Health, we follow a "test, don't guess" philosophy. Before recommending either IV ozone therapy, our team will review your full health history, current symptoms, and, where appropriate, conduct targeted lab testing. This may include markers of oxidative stress, heavy metals, infections, inflammation, immune function, viral loads, and mitochondrial function. This allows us to tailor which therapy, how many sessions, and what frequency fits your unique biology.
IV ozone therapy is most effective when integrated into a broader functional medicine plan that addresses diet, lifestyle, gut health, sleep, and stress. Our providers work with you to create a complete protocol, not just a single treatment, so that the gains you feel in the clinic continue to build in your daily life.
Your safety comes first. EBOO is a well-tolerated therapy with decades of documented clinical use and a strong safety record in trained hands. Common side effects or considerations include mild fatigue, a transient metallic taste, minor venipuncture tenderness, or brief dizziness, all of which typically resolve on their own. Contact the clinic if you experience unusual bruising at the IV site, a persistent fever, a rash, or symptoms that worsen over the 24–48 hours following treatment. Seek urgent care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as chest pain, trouble breathing, fainting, or sudden swelling. EBOO is not appropriate for patients with G6PD deficiency, severe anemia, pregnancy, active bleeding disorders, or recent heart attack, and our team will carefully screen for these and any medication interactions before beginning treatment, coordinating with your other providers to ensure an integrated and responsible approach to your care.
No. Traditional ozone therapies like major autohemotherapy (MAH) treat a small volume of blood, typically around 200 mL. EBOO processes multiple liters of blood through an external filter while continuously ozonating it, delivering significantly more therapeutic effect in one session.
This depends on your health goals and clinical presentation. Some patients benefit from a short series of 4–6 sessions, while those with chronic illness or heavy toxic burden may benefit from longer protocols. We will design a plan specifically for you.
EBOO is generally considered an out-of-pocket therapy and is not covered by most insurance plans. We will review costs with you upfront.
Most patients describe the experience as very similar to a routine IV. The main sensation is from the initial IV placement.
The combination of ozone with ultraviolet blood irradiation creates a synergistic effect. While IV ozone provides therapeutic oxygen to support cellular function, UBI uses specific light wavelengths to further activate immune responses, potentially enhancing the overall therapeutic benefit.
Yes and we often recommend it. EBOO pairs well with IV nutrients, peptides, BHRT, nutraceuticals, and targeted detox protocols.
Yes, for consultations and follow-ups. However, EBOO itself is performed in-office.
During your complimentary discovery call, we will review your concerns, discuss whether EBOO is a potential fit, outline your next steps, and answer any questions you have.
