Option A
Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE)
Separates plasma from your blood cells, removes a portion carrying inflammatory and age-related material, and returns your cells in fresh replacement fluid.

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange vs. EBOO
TPE and EBOO are both advanced, medically supervised blood therapies, and they are easy to confuse, but they do fundamentally different things. TPE physically removes a portion of your plasma, along with its inflammatory burden, and replaces it. EBOO oxygenates and ozonates your blood and returns it unchanged in volume. One subtracts; the other treats.
Option B
EBOO
Filters, oxygenates, and ozonates a large volume of blood and returns it, without removing any plasma.

Side by Side
How they compare on the details that matter.
| Attribute | Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) | EBOO |
|---|---|---|
| Core Action | Removes and replaces a portion of plasma | Oxygenates and ozonates the blood |
| What Leaves the Body | Inflammatory proteins and accumulated plasma material | Nothing is removed; blood is treated and returned |
| Session Length | About 2 to 3 hours | About 60 to 90 minutes |
| Primary Aim | Reducing circulating inflammatory and age-associated burden | Oxygenation, circulation, and immune modulation |
| Intensity | The more involved procedure | Advanced, but less involved than TPE |
| Typical Candidate | Inflammatory or autoimmune patterns; aggressive longevity protocols | Inflammation, circulation, advanced wellness protocols |
| Supervision | Licensed medical supervision | Licensed medical supervision |
Which to Pick
The honest recommendation.
Pick Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE)
Choose TPE if the goal is to reduce a measurable inflammatory or age-associated plasma burden, typically for specific inflammatory or autoimmune patterns, or aggressive longevity protocols.
Pick EBOO
Choose EBOO if the goal is oxygenation, circulation, and immune modulation without removing plasma, as a step up from standard IV therapy.
Do Both
Neither is a first step. Most people build a foundation of testing, nutrition, and basic optimization first, then add one of these under medical guidance if a goal justifies it.
Common Questions
Questions about the comparison.
What is the simplest way to think about the difference?
TPE takes something out: a portion of your plasma and the inflammatory load it carries. EBOO treats what is already there by oxygenating and ozonating it. TPE subtracts; EBOO conditions.
Can I do both?
They are usually chosen based on your goal rather than stacked. A clinician decides which fits your situation after reviewing your history and biomarkers. Some advanced protocols use them at different stages.
Which is more intensive?
TPE is generally the more involved procedure, both in session length and in what it does to the blood. EBOO is advanced but less involved. Both are delivered under medical supervision.
Where can I get these in Nashville?
Both are uncommon locally. Next Health Nashville offers both TPE and EBOO in the city; most clinics offer neither.
