Still Fatigued After a Parasite Cleanse? Here's What's Missing with Evan H. Hirsch, MD

The Pros & Cons of EBOO Therapy for ME:CFS & Long COVID with Evan H. Hirsch, MD
In this episode, Evan H. Hirsch, MD shares an in-depth look at EBOO therapy (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation) and whether it’s the right choice for people dealing with ME/CFS and Long COVID. EBOO therapy is designed to oxygenate and ozonate the blood, with potential benefits like killing infections, boosting mitochondrial function, and removing heavy metals. While this sounds promising, Evan explains why this treatment may not be appropriate early in the recovery process, especially if detox pathways aren’t properly supported. Using clear examples and his proven four-step process, Evan breaks down why timing matters and how a slow, structured approach to detoxification is key to sustainable progress. He also discusses why EBOO and similar therapies are often best used near the end of a healing journey, not the beginning. Want to understand what’s really keeping you sick and how to detox at a rate your body can tolerate? This episode has the answers! .

How to Do the "Die Off Dance" in ME:CFS:LC with Evan H. Hirsch, MD
In this episode, Evan H. Hirsch, MD explains how to recognize, manage, and move through die-off reactions (also known as Herxheimer responses) during recovery from ME/CFS and long COVID.
