Behind the scenes of EBOO: the fluid collected during a session with one of our beauty therapists.

Our protocol combines extracorporeal blood oxygenation, ozonation and filtration, with a dedicated collection system capturing fluid during treatment.

This collection is also an opportunity for clinical discovery. Laboratory testing can identify its constituents, moving our understanding beyond appearance to measurable findings.

EBOO: blood filtration and oxygen–ozone therapy in chronic disease care.

Persistent inflammation and oxidative stress contribute to cellular damage across many chronic conditions. EBOO combines extracorporeal blood filtration with controlled oxygen–ozone treatment, bringing together removal of circulating substances and stimulation of the body’s protective responses.

Our EBOO protocol always includes a filter, with filtration intensity selected according to the patient’s clinical assessment.

According to our clinical testing, collected filtrate contains metabolic waste products, uremic toxins and environmental compounds, including mycotoxins, pesticides, herbicides, phthalates, volatile organic compounds, environmental phenols and parabens.

The oxygen–ozone component is intended to stimulate antioxidant defenses and modulate immune and inflammatory signaling. These mechanisms provide the rationale for its use as an adjunct in personalized chronic disease care.

Treatment is medically supervised and integrated into a comprehensive plan addressing the patient’s underlying condition.

I’m excited and ecstatic to announce the news of our Survivorship Program and our Integrative Oncology department.

Cancer care extends beyond treatment. Quality of life, recovery and long-term health deserve dedicated support.

We are launching our Integrative Oncology and Survivorship Program at American Hospital Dubai, aligned with Mayo Clinic and featuring Dr Heidi Naturopathic Physician & Oncology Specialist, our American FABNO board-certified Naturopathic Integrative Oncology Specialist.

The program brings evidence-informed integrative care into the cancer journey, working alongside oncology teams to support patients during treatment and throughout survivorship.

Our focus includes nutrition, fatigue, sleep, emotional wellbeing and metabolic health, with care tailored to each patient’s diagnosis, treatment and recovery goals.

A coordinated approach to living well during and after cancer.

Healthy skin is built from the inside out.

10-pass ozone therapy supports the foundations of skin health by improving oxygen utilization, circulation, mitochondrial function and antioxidant defenses. This helps create a healthier internal environment for skin repair, resilience and a brighter, more refreshed appearance.

The result is not simply a temporary glow. It is whole-body cellular support that is reflected in the health and vitality of the skin.

Ozone therapy is about supporting the body at a cellular level.

It may help improve oxygen use, circulation, mitochondrial function and the body’s response to inflammation and oxidative stress. Emerging research also suggests it may support healthier cholesterol patterns and help protect LDL cholesterol from oxidation.

It is not a replacement for healthy nutrition, movement or appropriate cholesterol management, but it can be a valuable addition to a personalized wellness plan.

Because true cardiovascular health is about much more than one cholesterol number.

Reflecting on the impact we have when public speaking. Presenting on the topic of peptides and their clinical impact in family medicine, resulted in an overwhelmingly positive response.

Sharing knowledge is how we advance in medicine. This year IFM presented highlights from different perspectives, from peptides to SIBO, gene therapy and psychology. It was a well rounded representation of what family medicine truly can be.

Today, our Oncology Department, the PanTum team, and the Integrative Medicine Department came together to explore how PanTum Detect can complement our established approach to early cancer detection and support the coordinated care pathways already in place for our patients.

PanTum Detect is a blood-based screening test intended for asymptomatic adults. It evaluates two biomarkers, Apo10 and TKTL1, within circulating immune cells. Abnormal results may indicate biological changes associated with a possible solid tumour and help identify patients who may benefit from further investigation.

PanTum does not diagnose cancer or identify its location. A positive result requires appropriate clinical assessment and targeted imaging, while routine guideline-based cancer screening remains essential.

Its potential benefit lies in adding another layer of screening, particularly for cancers for which no routine population screening currently exists. By combining innovative testing with oncology expertise, imaging, and individualized patient assessment, the goal is to investigate concerning findings earlier and guide patients through the appropriate next steps.

Early detection must be evidence-informed, carefully interpreted, and supported by a multidisciplinary clinical team.

It was an honour to have spoken to a large gathering of over 200 family physicians in attendance at the 13th International Family Medicine Conference & Exhibition in Dubai.

My session, “Peptides: Science or Fiction? The evidence behind most commonly prescribed peptides”, examined emerging therapeutic approaches, where the evidence is promising, where it remains limited, and how clinicians can distinguish responsible medical use from unsupported claims.

I look forward to joining colleagues in the coming days, committed to advancing evidence-informed, patient-centred medicine.
