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 in an alkaline environment that abnormalities
at a molecular or cellular level manifest themselves and that
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.
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.
