What the authors reported
A dialysis patient with necrotizing fasciitis who had not improved with traditional therapies improved radically after treatment with EBOO, which the authors describe as already used routinely at their hospital.
What limits this result
Single case report from the technique's own developers; no control patient, randomization, or blinding, and no long-term follow-up reported.
Research on the procedure itself. One study rarely settles a medical question; our guides weigh each paper against the rest of the evidence.
