What Is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone gas (O3) discovered in the mid-19th century is a colorless and odorless gas containing three atoms of oxygen. The oxygen used for clinical use is a medical grade, given in specific therapeutic doses and never through inhalation. IV ozone therapy has been well-documented and used to treat chronic infections, wounds, Lyme Disease, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, ulcerative colitis, lupus, and as many as one-hundred and fourteen illnesses! In the 1800's, Nikola Tesla patented the first ozone gas generator in the United States, eventually starting the "Tesla Ozone Company". During World War I, doctors administered ozone treatment to wounds topically for its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial qualities and were later able to disinfect drinking water to be used as a spray or compress in dental medicine.
How Ozone Therapy Works
As the ozone purifies the air we breathe, it also functions as a detoxifier for our bodies by selectively attaching and removing bacteria, fungi, parasites, mold, yeast, and virus. Ozone therapy might even help our bodies in getting rid of toxic metals. Quite impressive for something we take for granted daily.
Ozone therapy increases the production of cancer-fighting compounds and strengthens different parts of the immune system that are suppressed by chronic infection and cancer. Ozone therapy helps stop the growth of human cancer cells from breast, lung, and uterus by 40-90%. Even better, ozone therapy selectively destroys cancer cells without causing harm to healthy cells!
More than forty-five thousand physicians in over fifty countries across the globe have merged ozone gas (O3) with medical grade oxygen (O2) to effectively treat patients with Lyme disease, ulcerative colitis, fibromyalgia, diabetic ulcers, rheumatoid arthritis, HPV, and Hepatitis B and C. This is not even half the list of what ozone therapy can do for your health!
Preventative Health
When used as preventive care, ozone can help protect you from disease and strengthen your body's natural defenses. Words spoken by Benjamin Franklin, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," isn't far from the truth. Preventing disease is a lot easier than treating it. However, in the busy world we inhabit today, we are exposed to a large amount of chemicals. These chemicals can not only be in the food we eat or the water we drink, but even in the air we breathe. The human body is largely composed of oxygen, an element we often neglect to consider when it comes to having better overall health. According to Dr. Otto Warburg, "Cancer is, fundamentally, a relatively simple disease where cell oxygen levels fall to a level sufficiently low enough for the cell to change in nature". The decline of health and the growth of disease in the US can be directly associated with the rise in toxins and low levels of fresh oxygen. With our busy lifestyles, breathing in the reduced levels of oxygen and increased toxic fumes in the air further compromises our immune systems and results in disease.
Ozone therapy can help stimulate the immune system and can also calm down the part of the immune system that causes autoimmune disease. The body's immune system produces unique messengers called "cytokines" as an activation response with ozone therapy. These cytokines, tell other immune cells to set off a cascade of powerful changes throughout the immune system to resist disease. Administration of ozone therapy is useful as preventative medicine because it both turns on the immune system in individuals with a low immunity (cancer, chronic illness) or acts as a regulator of the immune system in patients with an overactive immunity (autoimmune disease).
Advantages of IV Ozone Therapy
1. Autoimmune Disease
Ozone therapy's many therapeutic properties have been used to help treat several ailments, including autoimmune disease.
In a study of individuals with diabetes, ozone therapy improved controlled blood sugar levels, considerable improvement of lesions without side effects, and less amputations than the controlled group. In patients with various other autoimmune diseases such as ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis. lupus, and Lyme disease, ozone therapy can help reduce inflammation, speed up damaged tissue recovery as well as reduce pain
2. Cancer
In the body, ozone gas is converted to hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen peroxide probably is the main component for the therapeutic effects. It is a strong oxidant that has the potential to produce antioxidants which are useful in preventing cancer. In studies, hydrogen peroxide has been used to cause death of cancer cells. Because healthy cells can not survive under a stressful environment for extended time periods, ozone therapy boosts antioxidant enzymes to cause death of cancer cells and yet supports survival of healthy cells.
Safety
Now, you understand the many benefits of ozone therapy and how it functions, but, you may be asking yourself, "Is ozone therapy safe?". The answer is "Ozone therapy is safe when done correctly". Ozone therapy has been used and studied extensively for centuries, with its effects being proven to be risk-free with very little adverse effects. Under strict supervision of a professional, ozone therapy will not just help in preventing and treating various disorders but can be a powerful boost to your general health and well-being!
