Transcript excerpt from a Dr. Joy Kong podcast episode introducing IBU (extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation). Speakers define IBU, contrast it with dialysis, and note Dr. Yoshi Rahm’s extensive experience (≈2,000 procedures) and clinical qualifications to discuss the treatment.
Doctor Yoshi has done probably close to 2,000 of these procedures on patients, and maybe the provider that has done the most of this procedure in this country, so he's very qualified to speak about this particular treatment. And what is IBU exactly?
