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.

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. These temporary flares can occur as the body starts eliminating heavy metals, mold, infections, and other toxins, and they don't have to derail your healing.

Evan shares the exact 4-step system used inside the EnergyMD Program to support the body during this process, including how to:

• Open up detox pathways (liver, kidneys, lymph, and more)
• Adjust herbal protocols using microdosing
• Avoid "crashing" and pivot with grace when symptoms flare

This is what Evan calls the "Die Off Dance", a strategic, flexible approach to detox that respects the body's limits and prevents burnout during healing.

If you've ever felt worse before getting better, this episode will help you understand why, and what to do next.
