Ozone (O3) Therapy - Powerful Bio-oxidative Healing Tool
What is Ozone Therapy? - Simple Instructions

Ozone therapy for restoring health

An appropriately dosed ozone therapy protocol is a therapeutic biooxidative therapy:

By introducing a controlled mixture of ozone and oxygen into the body, this therapy produces chemically reactive oxidizers, which safely remove toxins and inactivate anaerobic microbes (often responsible for disease). Best of all though, ozone "brings in the cavalry", by enhancing the body's immune system and improving cellular energy production. This enables the body to "fix" its own problems, including the destruction of cancer cells. Ozone therapy is used in surgery, therapeutics, neurology, gynecology, dermatology, and urology.

  • Removes toxins from the body
  • Directly kills microbes in the body - ozone oxidizes the double bonds of fatty acids in anaerobic bacterial cell walls and oxidizes the protein capsid of viruses.

  • Enhances immune system function.  Increases special messengers of the immune system (cytokines).
  • Oxygenates the body and Increases cellular energy production
  • Increases antioxidant enzyme systems in healthy cells.   The integrity of cellular membranes depends on peroxides being quickly removed by the body's primary antioxidant glutathione peroxidase (GPx) system. Ozone makes this and other antioxidant  enzyme systems more efficient.

Biooxidative Therapy - Oxidative / Oxygenating

Immune system produces ozone as an attack weapon

Immune system neutrophils are little cellular factories that produce singlet oxygen and other oxidants.  During an immune response, neutrophils engulf and destroy bacteria and fungi by "blasting"them with these oxidants.

Antibodies generate ozone and hydrogen peroxide.   By using singlet oxygen  produced by neutrophils. Thus, in addition to killing the bacteria themselves, neutrophils feed singlet oxygen to the antibodies, which convert it into ozone and hydrogen peroxide, adding powerful weapons to the assault.

ozone to oxygen diagram

What happens in ozone therapy?

Ozone (nicknamed "Active Oxygen") is applied topically or introduced into the body in low, controlled amounts as a biooxidative therapy.   Being unstable, ozone decays back to O2, within 45 mins. or so, and in so doing, it releases an Excited oxygen ATOM O1* and a "fighting tiger" (microbe-destroying) singlet oxygen molecule(1O2*), which itself emits health beneficial near infrared energy. At appropriate doses, all of these products can be safely put to work to rid the body of toxins and improve circulation, immune function and energy production, and even destroy cancer cells.

Ozone has a Short Life.   If ozone does not find something to oxidize, then after about 45 minutes it reverts to oxygen, which the body can also certainly use to its benefit

Ozone Chemistry

Ozone therapy can be done in a clinic or at home

Either a Cold Plasma or Corona Discharge ozone generator is used to produce ozone from oxygen.   The cold plasma generator is preferred for therapeutic purposes and is readily available for sale to the general public -it produces greater amounts of ozone, is more durable and has less problems. In fact, the original cold plasma generators were invented by Nikola Tesla in the 1920s and still work 80 years later. UV lamp ozone generators are more suitable for air purification.

Clinical use of ozone therapy in the treatment of infected generators are more suitable for air purification. Clinical use of ozone therapy in the treatment of infected tissues and wounds began in WWI Europe.  Today Germany has several thousand doctors applying ozone therapy, and after extensive research ozone has entered the mainstream in Russian healthcare. Its use is now spreading to other parts of the world too -E.g. Cuba has a very active ozone program in its health-care system. Ozone therapy has not been established in North America because, compared to the current high-profit solutions involving pharmaceuticals, radiation/chemotherapy and surgery, ozone's profit-making ability is negligible and does not warrant the cost of the expensive research required by the FDA. In the U.S., legislation allows physicians to legally apply ozone therapy in their practice without fear of prosecution, in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, and Washington. "Do-it-Yourself". With the right equipment and know-how, ozone therapy can be applied at home. How to apply ozone (O3) therapy at home Ozone therapy safety record The medical use of ozone has an excellent safety record with a lack of toxic side effects.  After millions of treatments over nearly 100 years. Ozone in nature and industry Ozone protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Oxygen in the stratosphere absorbs UV rays from the sun to become ozone, which is a blue gas - and actually the reason why the sky is blue. Nature's wonderful self-cleaning system - Ozone's third oxygen atom (with a weak bond) detaches and begins a chain of reactions that produce powerful oxidants, which can combine with airborne pollutants and change them into less harmful compounds. Heavier than air, ozone falls earthward, oxidizing /destroying any pollutant it contacts. E.g. carbon monoxide and benzene.

Ozone therapy safety record

The medical use of ozone has an excellent safety record with a lack of toxic side effects.  After millions of treatments over nearly 100 years.

Ozone in nature and industry

Ozone protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation.   Oxygen in the stratosphere absorbs UV rays from the sun to become ozone, which is a blue gas - and actually the reason why the sky is blue.

Nature's wonderful self-cleaning system - Ozone's third oxygen atom (with a weak bond) detaches and begins a chain of reactions that produce powerful oxidants, which can combine with airborne pollutants and change them into less harmful compounds. Heavier than air, ozone falls earthward, oxidizing /destroying any pollutant it contacts. E.g. carbon monoxide and benzene.

Ozone is a Powerful Disinfectant and Toxin Remover -ozone has the ability to alter, decompose and/or neutralize materials that are toxic, without creating additional toxic compounds. Second only to fluoride as the world's most powerful oxidizer and sanitizer, ozone will eventually break down most chemicals into their natural components: H2O, carbon dioxide, sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen. Ozone has been used to clean water for large cities for over 100 years.

E.g. Formaldehyde (HCHO) + Ozone (O3) →CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) + H2O (Water) + O2

Ozone forms beneficial hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in rain and snow - As a result of ozone in the upper atmosphere acting on water vapor, rain and snow both contain oxidant-producing H2O2. This is why plants grow better with rain water than with irrigation. Commercial horticultural growers actually add H2O2 to their irrigation water to produce healthier, disease free plants. H2O2 added to drinking water for farm animals has also demonstrated very positive results E.g.Cow's milk production is increased, with a lower bacteria count. Turkey and chicken growers report increased weight per bird using less feed.

Hydrogen Peroxide -Oxidative / Oxygenative Water

Many industries use ozone as an industrial oxidizer and sterilizer.   Including industrial waste treatment, sewage treatment, aquarium sanitation, food preservation, sterilization of containers; The best known use of ozone is in water treatment because of its ability to kill bacteria and viruses. The EPA and the FDA acknowledge ozone's ability to oxidize 99.9992% of all waterborne pathogens.
