Ozone therapy has been around since World War 2, its effective for most everything, although it may not be the best treatment choice for specific conditions. The fact is that ozone can be used for almost anything but when should it be used?
Ozone can help regulate inflammatory responses, immune responses, and reduce healing time. All of which would have a positive outcome in just about every medical condition (psychiatric withstanding) but when is it a first choice option? First choice options are going to be the most effective for treating a given disorder. For example, a severe bacterial infection has taken root, your fever is high, you have body aches and you feel like crap! Ozone is very effective in killing bacteria, but its NOT the first choice, antibiotics are. I know some of you are dead set on not using antibiotics but certain bacterial infections will kill you faster than ozone can save you. Out of the 250,000 known prescription medications only 500 are actually curative! These are the antibiotics, anti-virals and anti fungal medications. Ozone can and should be used a secondary treatment but its not my first choice. You’ve probably read in my other posts that I have over 20 years of experience in integrative medicine so trust me when I say I know what I’m talking about.
Let’s talk about cancer, a major problem and serious disease. Cancer and ozone are a controversial topic. Integrative medical specialists vary in opinion on treating cancer with chemotherapy or radiation but if they’re trained in ozone they all agree that it should be a part of the patients treatment plan. Would I rely on ozone therapy if I had cancer, no, would I use it, absolutely! Ozone has been shown in laboratory studies to kill breast, lung and colon cancer very quickly due to its oxidative capacity without toxic side effects. However, lab studies are different from the real world application of any treatment. There are far more variables to take into account. I have seen patients with just about every major type of cancer and its variants and levels of progression. I have seen them do only alternative treatments, I have seen them do a combination of typical allopathic with alternative. In the majority of cases, I observed that those who did a combination had far better outcomes.
There are problems with convention oncology treatments that ozone therapy can mitigate. For example, exhaustion and immunosuppression. Ozone therapy can help increase energy levels, produce an increased level of well being and promote proper immune function during treatment. Ozone Pulling Oil can be helpful in decreasing discomfort from oral lesions from chemotherapy. Rectal insufflation with ozone can increase the effectiveness of chemo and radiation for colorectal and prostate cancer. Vaginal insufflation can help in the same way with uterine, cervical or ovarian cancer. Blood ozonation (Major AutoHemo Therapy) MAH can be helpful to the patient with all cancer types during conventional therapy without decreasing the efficacy of the drugs.
Ozone cleans the body, builds the bloods ability to carry oxygen, opens cell receptor sites, all of which can be helpful in treating just about any concern. When it comes to external wounds ozone could very much be the first line defense. Diabetic lesions, burns, wounds are perfect examples of when ozone should be used frequently (if not daily) and is on the top of the treatment protocol. Ozone bagging, ozone sauna (Hyperthermic) Ozone Skin Salve all have their place here.
Diabetic lesions are horrible, they eat away at the tissue because the person immune system has failed and can’t kill the infection or heal the tissue fast enough. Ozone gas is needed immediately to sterilize the tissue, promote blood flow and tissue regeneration. I have seen some horrendous, gangrenous lesions. Holes in a persons foot that you can literally see through, toes falling off, its terrible. Typically the person is on antibiotics already but the wound
isn’t healing and the persons at risk of amputation. Major AutoHemo Therapy is done several times a week. Locally on the wound itself ozone treatment is also applied. After cleaning the area substantially a bag would be placed over the wound and filled with hydrated ozone gas, remaining there for 20-30 minutes. Afterwards a fully concentrated ozonized oil would be applied. This isn’t the time for Ozone Skin Salve, its time for full concentration oil. This is done daily for 2-3 weeks and the results are pretty amazing. Israeli studies done this way have yielded results that blew my mind. The pictures presented in Dr. Velio Bocci book Ozone a Critical Evaluation, show huge lesions on a persons thigh and buttocks that have eaten down to the bone. He then shows the after pictures which are healed tissues, clear of infection. Granted that the ozone will not replace the lost muscle or skin, the person is left disfigured but they are alive and healed.
This is an extreme example but it goes to show how ozone can be powerfully applied for lifesaving measures. Obviously we never want to let things get this far, but it does happen more often than it should and if ozone therapy was used in mainstream medicine or home care it would happen less frequently.
Imagine a world where you could go to any doctor or hospital and receive integrative medical care that’s insurance covered! Medical spending would go down dramatically, patient outcomes would improve, preventative care would overtake treatment of disease and everyone would be healthier, happier and live longer. Utopia yes, will it happen, probably not, but its nice to dream isn’t it?
