A controversial blood filtration treatment is gaining traction among celebrities and business moguls, with Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary becoming the latest high-profile figure to publicly endorse the procedure.
O’Leary recently traveled to Dubai to undergo EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation) therapy, documenting his experience for social media. In a video posted online, the entrepreneur revealed this marked his fourth session with the treatment.
“I come here every time I come to Dubai. Anytime I come to the UAE, I make sure I take at least half a day to come here,” O’Leary said in the footage. “The great thing about the procedure here is you can measure it almost immediately in how you feel. You start to feel really good, and it doesn’t take a long time.”
The investment mogul emphasized his priorities when considering health interventions: “For me, longevity means two things. It’s mobility and cognitive health.”
The therapy involves filtering blood through a dialysis-style system that combines modified oxygen called ozone with specialized filtration. According to medical practitioners who perform the procedure, it aims to remove microplastics, heavy metals, mold, spike proteins, and biofilm while targeting bacteria, fungi, and viruses present in the bloodstream. A typical session runs approximately 90 minutes.
O’Leary’s endorsement follows UFC CEO Dana White’s recent revelation about a similar blood filtration procedure available in Tijuana. During an interview on BigBoyTV, White described undergoing a three-day treatment.
“They have this thing down in Tijuana where you go in and they literally put a needle into your neck. Your jugular. It’s a three-day process and they literally put your blood through a machine and it filters your blood and then puts your blood back into your body,” White explained.
The UFC executive said the treatment is designed to extract harmful materials from the body. “It gets all this s**t out of your blood like metals and mold and all these different toxins and all this stuff,” he said.
White noted the procedure has shown promise for specific health conditions. “First of all it’s supposed to be incredible for people who have cancer,” he stated.
While these blood filtration treatments are generating interest among wealthy individuals seeking cutting-edge wellness solutions, they remain outside mainstream medical practice in the United States. The procedures are typically not covered by insurance and require travel to specialized clinics, either internationally or to select domestic locations.
