Ozone Therapy

There has been much recent publicity concerning the depletion of the earth's natural ozone layer. Most people are consequently aware of the importance of ozone in protecting us from harmful solar rays. However, people may not be aware that ozone may also be effectively used in therapy.

OZONE IN MEDICINE

The main properties of medical ozone are anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. It is a fact that most of today's commonest health problems are due either to residual virus or post viral fatigue e.g. the ME Syndrome, or bacterial imbalances such as Candida (Monilia albicans). Further clinical evidence would suggest that the over-use of antibiotics in our society has had a long term debilitating effect on our inherent immune systems, thus, not only weakening our defence against invasive infection but also our response to it, e.g. Aids.

CAUSES OF ILLNESS

More than a century ago the French professor, Claude Bernard remarked (translated): "the microbe is nothing, the terrain is all", i.e. the conditions have to be favourable for an illness to develop. It is predominantly when blood and saliva are too alkaline, that the tissues become too acidic and fermentation begins. Most degenerative diseases develop from a state of fermentation behaving like fungus or yeast, multiplying and colonising. Consequently, it is in this predominantly alkaline environment that a whole host of conditions prevail, from cystitis to cancer.

HOW DOES MEDICAL OZONE WORK ?

One of the major advantages of medical ozone is its ability to oxygenate the main tissues. Ozone, when applied in accordance with medical practice, has the effect of supplying oxygen to the deep ultra-cellular tissue structure, thereby not only oxygenating but also stimulating the patient's own respiratory enzymes in the healing process.

The Indications for Ozone and its Underlying Active Mechanisms of Action

HOW IS MEDICAL OZONE APPLIED ?

Medical ozone may be applied in a number of different ways depending on the condition being presented. Some of the most commonly used applications in the Clinic are :-

(1) Ozone gas applications in body cavities (ozone enemas).
(2) Ozonized medical olive oil.
(3) Intramuscular injections.
(4) Ozone gas applied in vacuum bag.

IS OZONE DANGEROUS ?

Applied correctly, ozone therapy is quite harmless and in most cases totally pain-free. Its highly beneficial and successful application in a wide range of medical conditions has rendered it invaluable to present medical practitioners.

Ozone as an antioxidant

A number of free radical species fulfil physiologically important roles

within the body, for example, superoxide and nitric oxide function as second messengers. However, free radical levels in the body must be carefully controlled as they are highly reactive and can cause tissue destruction. Antioxidants help regulate and control the levels of free radicals at the required physiological concentrations. When the production of free radicals and their removal by the antioxidant system becomes unbalanced, tissue damage and disease can occur. The use of ozone as a therapeutic method to counteract the disease process in the body would seem to be paradoxical at the least, ozone being an oxidant, and by definition a procurer of free radical activity. This paper describes the effect of ozone on both free radical and antioxidant levels in the blood of patients both in disease and health before, during, and after ozone therapy... read more

Three case reports on holistic approach to patients with cancer including the use of medical ozone
 
One of the perceived difficulties conventional medicine has in the acceptance of an holistic approach to illness is the lack of objective control in the diagnosis, progression, and treatment of an illness. There is also reluctance on the part of those in the holistic professions to place their therapies “on the line” in the belief that the holistic approach can not be established and monitored through conventional methods.

This paper demonstrates that the second concept is ill founded, and that the reluctance of main stream medicine to give credence and acceptance to an holistic approach could be overcome, if those practices were to employ conventional methods and diagnostic procedures coupled to their own traditional methods.

The reports on three patients whose health is established in a carcinogenic environment are treated not specifically for neoplasm but as whole individual entities. The treatment programme comprising not of one modality but of a complimentary “mix”, it being the author’s experience that the strength of a balanced approach has more chance of success. The simple yet all important use of ozone as an oxygen therapy is considered to be central to the treatment programme in all three cases, as is the use of tumour markers to establish the speed and course of the illness recovery...read more
