What is Ozone Therapy?
The Natural Wellness Center is the leading experts in the medical use
of ozone in the United States. Ozone therapy is a unique
form of therapy that both heals and detoxifies at the same
time. It used to treat a variety of chronic disease
including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, Lyme disease,
chronic hepatitis, herpes, chronic fatigue states,
chemical sensitivity, macular degeneration, chronic
bladder conditions, colitis, auto-immune diseases, and
Crohn’s disease.
What Is Ozone?
The oxygen you breathe is present in the
air as a pair of oxygen atoms. This is the most stable
form of oxygen, and it’s colorless. Ozone is a blue
colored form of oxygen (it's what makes the sky blue), and
unlike regular oxygen, it is composed of three oxygen
atoms instead of two. It is the addition of the third
oxygen atom that makes ozone “supercharged” oxygen, and
gives it all of its remarkable medical properties.
The use of ozone to treat various medical
conditions was first developed in Germany in the early
1950's. Today, medical ozone therapy is common throughout
Europe, and its use has gradually been spreading in
America over the last 25 years.
Ozone Is Toxic Isn't It?
Anything, including water and oxygen, is toxic if given
in amounts that exceed the body's capacity to utilize it.
Ozone is found naturally in the body. The white cells make
it as part of the immune response. Pure medical grade
ozone, when it is used according to the established
medical guidelines, has a safety record that is
unparalleled.
Medical Properties Of Ozone
Ozone has five properties that account for why it works
so well not only for macular degeneration, but also for
most other chronic age related conditions as well:
- Ozone is a potent regulator of the immune system.
This means that when the immune system is overactive (as
in auto-immune disease), ozone will calm it down.
Conversely, when the immune system is under active as in
cancer, AIDS, and chronic infections, ozone will
stimulate it. This unique ability of ozone stems from
its action on the membranes of white cells that causes
them to produce immune related messenger molecules
called cytokines. Examples of cytokines are gamma
interferon, interleukin-2, colony stimulating factor,
and TNF-alpha just to name a few.
- Ozone stimulates increased uptake of oxygen by
stimulating the enzyme diphosphoglycerate (DPG). DPG
enables the release of oxygen from the hemoglobin
molecule so that it can be taken up into the cell. In
the absence of an adequate amount of DPG, our cells
become starved for oxygen. This is a common problem in
diabetics.
- Ozone improves circulation. It does this by
enhancing the flow characteristics of blood as a liquid.
This effect enables more of the oxygen carrying
hemoglobin to reach the capillaries where ultimately the
cells will receive more of the oxygen they require. Many
patients with chronic inflammatory conditions have
impaired circulation.
- Ozone increases antioxidant protection more than any
other therapy including vitamin C.Most people with
chronic disease have deficient antioxidant defenses.
- Ozone is a powerful mitochondrial stimulant. The
fundamental underlying cause behind all
degenerative disease from diabetes to heart disease to
cancer is decreased mitochondrial energy production.
Ozone can often correct this problem.
How Is Ozone Used Medically?
Ozone therapy should only be used by professionals who
have been fully trained in its use.
Autotherapy is the most common, and in most cases the
most effective way ozone is administered. The patient sits
in a chair and has from 6-12 ounces of blood removed into
a sterilized bottle. Then ozone is injected into the
bottle, and the bottle is gently shaken, allowing the red
and white blood cells to take up the ozone. The ozonated
blood is then returned to the body. The entire procedure
takes about 30-40 minutes. --

Is Ozone Therapy For Me?
This is a decision for a doctor who is trained and
experienced in the medical use of ozone. Some conditions
simply will not clear up unless ozone is used, and of
course many conditions will clear up without ozone.
Because of its many therapeutic properties, ozone can be
used as part of a therapeutic plan for almost every
disease.
It is invaluable in the treatment of heart disease and
circulatory disorders. Chronic infections such as
hepatitis-C, herpes, Lyme, and AIDS respond very favorably
to ozone. It is also very helpful in chronic fatigue
syndrome, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune diseases.
It is important to realize that ozone therapy is not a
panacea or some kind of magic bullet. Although it is often
an indispensable modality, it is only rarely effective by
itself. In the great majority of cases it must be combined
with an individualized program of other alternative and
natural therapies, such as nutrition and detoxification.

Ozone:
inactivates viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungus and protozoa.
stimulates the immune system cleans arteries and veins,
improves circulation' purifies the blood and lymph
normalizes hormone and enzyme production reduces
inflammation reduces pain, calms the nerves stops bleeding
prevents shock prevents stroke damage reduces cardiac
arrhythmia improves brain function and memory oxidizes
toxins, allowing their excretion chelates heavy metals; it
works well in conjunction with EDTA prevents and reverses
degenerative diseases prevents and treats communicable
diseases prevents and eliminates auto-immune diseases
Ozone's
therapeutic remedial uses are extensive and growing daily.
All bacterial, viral and fungal infections are eliminated
by ozone therapy. Heart disease, angina, arteriosclerosis,
gangrene, senile dementia, ulcers, varicose veins,
arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, diabetes, all forms of
cancer, Parkinson's disease, inflammatory bowel disease,
immune deficiency, allergies and asthma are just a few of
the conditions that are regularly treated with ozone.
Ozone
combines extremely well with intravenous chelation therapy
which is used to treat arterial disease and heavy metal
toxicity.
Almost all
forms of nervous, functional, respiratory and blood
disorders can be successfully corrected by oxidation
restoration. The effects are perfectly natural, the nerves
being left calm and toned with a feeling of buoyancy and
exhilaration. It stimulates the vasomotor system through
the nerve centers, which fact is clearly shown in the
increased redness of the skin, a feeling of warmth in the
whole body, and waste products being more freely
eliminated. The ozone treatment show that poor oxidation
is the cause of many disorders, by reason of the fact that
when the temperature is brought up to normal, the problems
disappear.
Ozone
promptly reverses AIDS-related opportunist infections
including pulmonary infections such as pneumocytis carinii
pneumonia, pulmonary toxoplasmosis, bronchopulmonary
candidiasis, pulmonary cryptococcosis, pulmonary and
disseminated histoplasmosis, mycobacterium avium complex,
cytomegaloviru and herpes simplex, pneumonia,
tuberculosis, nocardiosis, pyogenic bacterial pneumonia,
and lymphoid interstitial pneumonia.
Ozone
assists in reversing opportunist malignancies such as non-Hogkins
lymphoma (especially if pulmonary), hepatomas, and T-cell
leukemia and lymphadenopathy associated virus.
Ozone has
proven to be highly effective in reversing progressive
multifocal leukoencephalopathy, indistinguishable on MRI
and neuro-diagnostically from herpes varicella-zoster
viral lesions also seen in AIDS patients.
Ozone
effectively reverses any allergic factors contributing to
immunodepression low T-cell count, especially low CD4
counts. After ozone treatments, there are frequently
prompt increases of the CD4 cell count, rapid decreases of
HIV antibodies, and normalization of most blood parameters
within a few months.
Vaginal
ozone applications are very effective for substained
debilitating vaginal candidiasis of female AIDS patients.
Ozone is part of the treatment program for aggressive
cervical cancers often seen in female AIDS patients, as
well as candida.
Ozone
eliminates viral and bacterial contaminants from blood
products such as syphilis, Hepatitis B and C, HIV, HTLV-1,
HTLV-2, Colorado tick fever, as well as babesiosis,
malaria, leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, and
toxoplasmosis.
Ozone is
the most effective treatment for viral infections such as
mycoplasmydial, chlamydial, and rickettsial infections
without any of the long-term side effects of antibiotics.
Ozone is
effective against arbovirus infections, all forms of
ecephalitis, dengue hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome,
yellow fever, jaundice hematemesis, oliguria with
proteinuria, Congo- Crimean hemorrhagic fever, Omsk
hemorrhagic fever, Kyasnur Forest disease, and
arthropod-borne viral fevers, such as Dengue fever, Rift
Valley fever, and Colorado tick fever.
Ozone is
effective against arenaviral diseases such as Lassa fever,
Argentine and Bolivian hemorrhagic fevers and lymphocytic
choriomeningitis.
Ozone is
also highly effective against respiratory viral infections
from infuenza, parainfuenza, respiratory syncytial virus,
rhinovirus, adenovirus, coronavirus, as well as against
measles, mumps and rubella.
Ozone is
effective in viral infections in immunocompromised
patients such as herpes simples 1 and 2, cytomegalovirus,
Epstein-Barr virus, varicella pneumonia, herpes zoster,
Guillain-Barre syndrome, Ramsay-Hunt syndrome, Bell palsy,
colitis, transverse myelitis and mononucleosis.
Ozone is
effective in minimizing complications of enteroviral
infections such as poliomyelitis, aseptic meningitis,
rabies, myocarditis/periicarditis and myalgia.

diarrheas caused by rotavirus, Norwalk agent, astrovirus,
and corona virus respond well to rectal ozone applications
Chiamydia,
pneumonia of all types, endometritis, epididymitis,
salpingitis, proctitis, conjunctivitis, urethritis,
pyelonephritis and mycoplasma infections respond well to
systemic and local ozone applications.

treats hemolytic anemia, thrombopenic purpura, leukopenia,
pemphigus, pemphigoid, myasthenia gravis, hyperthyroidism,
pernicious anemia, and renal disease.
Ozone
works against rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, polyarteritis,
cryogobulinemia, pneumonitis, aspergillosis, and
glomerulonephritis.
Contact
dermatitis and granulomas of all types are effectively
treated with ozone.
Ozone is
effective against Hashimoto thyroiditis, SLE, Goodpasture
syndrome, Graves disease, RA, Addison Disease, anglitis,
panniculitis, polyarteritis, and Wegener granulomatosis.
Ozone
combined with shark cartilage, herbal treatments and
lifestyle therapy produces prompt regression of cancer
tumors and impressive long-term cure rates in most cancer
patients. Ozone acts by both destroying the tumor directly
and by stimulating the the depressed immune system.
Specifically, ozone enhances the formation and function of
T-lymphocytes, the production of cytokines, such as
interleukin, interferon, tumornecrosis factor, lymphotoxin,
granulocyte and macrophage colony-stimulating factors and
cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor. Interleukin-2 is the
most important T-cell drived lymphokine. Ozone may also
sensitize lymphocytes to become tumor infiltrating
lymphocytes.
Ozone is a
great detoxifier, oxidatively destroying tar, soot and oil
in the lungs, benzene, vinyl chloride and other
hydrocarbons that are carcinogenic.
Ozone is
effective in alleviating adverse effects from conventional
cancer treatment with radiation, chemotherapy and of
surgery complications, such as immunodepression and wound
infection.
Ozone is
particularly effective against bacterial pneumonias,
fungal infections, coccidioidomyosis, candidiasis,
cryptococcosis, pulmonary aspergillus, septicemia and
zygomycosis.
Other
bacterial disease that ozone has been found effective on
include: leptospirosis, listeriosis, brucellosis,
arthralgia, lymphadenopathy, meningitis, paravertebral
abscess, all hepatitis, orchitis, epidydimitis uveitis,
cellulitis, vasculitis, tularemia, tetanus, botulism, food
poisoning, enteritis, myonecrosis, anthrax, Lyme disease,
melioidosis, salmonella enteric fever, relapsing fever,
meningococcal infection, E.coli Bartonellosis,
meningicoccosis, hemophilus, pneumococcus, and echovirus.

cryptosporidiosus, malaria, trypanosomiasis,
pneumo-cystosis, naeglaria, acanthamoeba
meningoencephalitis, and visceral leishmaniasis.
Ozone
insufflated rectally is the most effective treatment for
inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's
disease, pancolitis, amebiasis, procto-sigmoiditis,
intestinal tuberculosis, diverticulitis, fistulas,
fissures and abscesses, irritable bowel syndrome and
hemorrhoids.
Rectal and
systemic ozone is the most effective treatment for liver
disease of all types including hepatitis, hepatocellular
cancer, cholestatic syndromes and cirrhosis of the liver.
Ozone is
especially indicated fro rheumatoid arthritis, systemic
lupus erythemoatosis, scleroderma, polymyositis,
ankylosing spondylitis, osteo-arthritis, Reiter syndrome,
psoriasis, synovitus, gout, chrondrocalcinosis,
pyrophosphate arthropathy, calcific peri-arthritis,
calcific tendinitis, and calcinosis.
Ozone is a
highly effective adjunct to EDTA chelation therapy. It is
useful in ischemic heart disease, angina, myocardial
infection and ischemic arrhythmia, and cardiomyopathy.
Ozone helps to eliminate any drugs, alcohol or
environmental toxins that may contribute to heart or
vascular disease. It has produced dramatic improvements in
peripheral vascular disease, and relieved claudication,
ischemic cramps and ischemic ulcers. Ozone with EDTA has
produced excellent results in cerebrovascular
insufficiency, fibromuscular dysplasia, lupus erythmatosus,
polyateritis, nodosa, granulomatous angiitis, Takayasu
panarteritis, meningovascular syphilis, intracranial
arterial occlusions, Alzheimer's disease and senile
dementia, and cerebral atrophy.
Ozone is
an excellent therapy for varicose veins, especially if
associated with pain, fatigue, cramps of the calf muscles,
stasis syndrome with pigmentation, eczema, subcutaneous
induration, and varicose ulcers.
Ozone is
an effective treatment for multiple sclerosis, optic
neuritis, encephalomyelitis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS), Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, tardive
dyskinesia, dystonia, supranuclear palsy, striatonigral
degeneration, Tourette syndrome and Huntington's chorea.
Ozone is
helpful in improving the circulation in optic neuritis,
ischemic optic neuropathy orbital cellulitis, cavernous
sinus thrombosis, uveitis, vascular retinopathies, senile
macular degeneration, papillitis, herpes zoster
opthalmicus, toxic amblyopia, glioma, malignant melanoma,
otitis media, mastoiditis, otosclerosis, Meniere disease,
acute vestibulopathy, herpes zoster oticus, and all
peripheral poly-neuropathies.
Ozone
oxidatively destroys chlorinated and nonchlorinated
hydro-carbons and alicycllic compounds and thus helps
eliminate most drugs, alcohol and all manmade
environmental toxins that contribute to human disease.
Ozone is
indicated for the topical treatment of dermatological
disorders such as herps simplex and zoster, warts and
molluscum contagiosum, impetigo, ecthyma, epidermal
necrolysis, erysipelas, folliiculitis, furuncles,
carbuncles, tinea, candidiasis, scabies, pediculosis,
cutaneous larva migrans, acne, rosacea, psoriasis, lichen
planus, erythema multiforme, pemphigoid, bullous pemphigus,
dermatitus herpetiformis, morbilliform, ichthyosis
vulgaris, epidermolytic keratosis, lamellar ichthyosis,
basaliomas and spinaliomas, stasis dermatitis, stasis
ulcers decubitus ulcers, and healing of fistulas, and
burns of all types.
Ozone helps minimize the effects of
radiation treatment/poisoning, such as decreased libido,
amenorrhea, anemia, leukopenia, thrombopenia, skin
cancers, osteosarcoma, pneumonitis, pericarditis,
myocarditis and myopathy.
The
applications of medical ozone include performance
enhancement, increased longevity, accelerated wound
healing, dentistry, heart disease, all infections,
treatment of all gastro-enteric diseases, immune
stimulation, treatment of all cancers, and gerontology.
Ozone also combines well with intravenous chelation
therapy which is used to treat arterial disease or heavy
metal toxicity. Chelation therapy works quite slowly
through a number of infusions, and adding ozone can speed
this process up.
Ozone
provides an immediate oxygen boost to heart tissue which
can noticeably reduce the incidence of angina. It also
improves brain function, because the brain uses over 15%
of all the oxygen in the body.
Specific
therapeutic applications of ozone include the treatment of
vascular disease such as stroke, obstructive arteriopathy,
venous insufficiency, cancer, acute and chronic viral
disease, ulcers, infected wounds, gangrenes, burns,
inflammatory bowel disease such as Krohn's disease,
ulcerative colitis and spinal disc problems. It is also
used in dentistry as a disinfectant and in pediatrics for
the treatment of viral and bacterial infections of the
intestines. In geriatrics, its principal indication is in
circulatory disorders. In particular the increase of
oxygen supply to the brain is of great benefit. Ozone,
with all its miraculous properties and accompanied by it
lack of toxicity, is undoubtedly an important tool in
medicine. It is an unusual double-edged sword. It defends
the body via its stimulation of the immune system and at
the same time it improves oxygenation and metabolism. I do
believe that ozone deserves a place in the management of
health and disease. It is up to us, patients and
physicians, to demand access to this wonderful healing
substance.
Ozone therapy may be
administered in a variety of ways:
-
Intramuscular
injection: A mixture of oxygen and ozone is injected
into the muscles of the buttocks.
-
Rectal
insufflation: A mixture of oxygen and ozone is
introduced into the rectum and absorbed through the
intestines.
-
Autohemotherapy:
Between 10-15 mL of the patient’s blood is removed,
treated with a mixture of oxygen and ozone and
re-injected into the patient.
-
Intra-articular
Injection: Ozone-treated water is injected into the
patient’s joints to treat arthritis, rheumatism and
other joint diseases.
-
Ozonated water:
Ozone is bubbled through water that is used to cleanse
wounds, burns, and skin infections, or to treat the
mouth after dental surgery.
-
Ozonated oil:
Ozone is bubbled through olive or safflower oil, forming
a cream that is used to treat fungal infections, insect
bites, acne, and skin problems.
-
Ozone bagging:
Ozone and oxygen are pumped into an airtight bag that
surrounds the area to be treated, allowing the body
tissues to absorb the mixture.
PRECAUTIONS:
Patients interested in oxygen/ozone therapies must consult
with a physician before receiving treatment. Patients with
a history of pneumothorax, chest surgery, emphysema,
middle ear surgery, uncontrolled high fevers, seizure, or disorders of the red
blood cells are not suitable candidates for oxygen/ozone
therapy. In addition, patients should be aware that oxygen
is highly flammable. If treatments are administered
incorrectly or by and unskilled person, there is a risk of
fire.
SIDE EFFECTS:
Typical side effects of oxygen or ozone therapy can
include elevated blood pressure and ear pressure similar
to that experienced while flying. Side effects may also
include headache, numbness in the fingers, temporary
changes in the lens of the eye, and seizures.
RESEARCH AND GENERAL ACCEPTANCE:
Oxygen/ozone therapies are far more widely accepted in
Europe than in the United States. The most intensive
research in these therapies is presently being conducted
in the former Soviet Union and Cuba. In the United States,
the work of the Baylor researchers was not followed up. As
of 2000, however, the Office of Alternative Medicine of
the National Institute of Health has indicated interest in
conducting clinical trials of oxygen/ozone therapies.
In Europe, United States and Canada, ozone therapies may be administered by licensed
naturopaths as well as by medical doctors.
