Ozone Therapy and Diabetes

The Diabetes Epidemic in the USA

One in 10 adults have diabetes in the USA, that’s roughly 38.4 million people. Of that huge figure, 8.7 million of them are undiagnosed. There are roughly 97.6 million more people that have prediabetes. That’s almost 40% of the entire US population!

What Happens in the Body of a Diabetic?

What happens when a person is a diabetic? Their body is no longer able to use insulin properly. Their blood sugar levels are consistently elevated. They feel an increase in thirst, hunger, fatigue, they begin to have blurred vision, slow healing of wounds, numbness in the hands and feet and frequent urination. Their immune system doesn’t work as well as it should so they’re prone to infections and delayed healing. The increased blood sugar levels cause damage not only to their immune system but to their blood vessels, nerves, eyes and kidneys.

The Role of Medical Doctors and Integrative Specialists

If it isn’t obvious, diabetics should be treated by a Medical Doctor who can prescribe medications if needed, uncontrolled diabetes can be extremely dangerous. However, most physicians have no idea how to use Ozone Therapy and so it’s up to the patient to find a qualified Integrative Specialist. Proper diet, exercise and lifestyle changes are absolutely required for optimal health so guidance is a necessity. It is possible to reverse diabetes, it takes work and discipline but it can be done. Ozone is a significant part of the treatment process, its also vital to healing the damage once the condition is under control.

Benefits of Ozone Therapy for Diabetics

Ozone therapy can have multiple benefits to diabetic individuals. It can improve blood sugar control, reduce oxidative stress, decrease inflammation, enhance circulation and tissue oxygenation, support nerve repair, improve wound healing and immune function. Using Major AutoHemo Therapy (MAH) with Ozone, Ozone Saunas and topical Ozone Charged products like Ozone Skin Salve and Ozone Muscle Rub are super important.

Options for Systemic Oxygenation

First, treating the blood directly with ozone is going to be extremely helpful but if AutoHemo Therapy isn’t an option, Rectal Insufflation (RI) can be utilized. RI’s can be done daily (short term) if needed, they’re also cost effective. Whereas MAH can only be done 2-3 times a week for a short time unless you have unlimited financial resources. The important thing to keep in mind is that systemic oxygenation is vital and treatments will be an ongoing process.

Addressing Neuropathy with Ozone Saunas and Muscle Rub

Ozone saunas & Ozone Muscle Rub are super helpful in delivering ozone directly while improving circulation to the peripheral nerves that begin to die (neuropathy) in the hands and feet. At first neuropathy just feels like a little bit of pins and needles, kind of like your foot or hand fell asleep but it gets worse. Eventually the pins and needles feeling spreads and intensify’s but over time it begins to fade and numbness takes over. This is very bad, because at this point the nerves are severely damaged. Ozone Muscle Rub contains ozonized magnesium which is fantastic vasodilator that increases blood flow to these areas. It can also be used many times a day to maintain that blood flow and in a lot of cases it temporarily decreases some of the discomfort.

Ozone Skin Salve for Wounds and Immune Support

Ozone Skin Salve can be used on the areas of neuropathy as well, but it works extremely well on cuts, scrapes, burns, bruises and small wounds. The slow response from the immune system delays healing and leaves these areas vulnerable to infection. Ozone Skin Salve can increase micro circulation, act as a protective barrier and has anti microbial potential. I would certainly suggest using Ozone Soap to clean the areas regularly before applying the salve. In other posts I describe how Ozone bagging can be used for diabetic ulcers or infections and Ozone Oils can be used topically so i encourage you to read my other posts as well.

Consistency Is Key with Ozone

Ozone is not a magic silver bullet that works immediately like a drug. Ozone treatments will take time to work and Ozone Charged products should be used daily. The results may take some time but consistency and frequency are the keys to success. Once you start feeling better, don’t stop! So many people think, I don’t hurt anymore so I don’t need to keep using the product. Decreasing how much or how often is fine, but don’t stop. The results you’ve gained need to be maintained and your body is now accustomed to having support. It won’t need as much support as it did when things were at their worst but we’re all getting older and as we do our body needs more assistance to keep working as best as it can.
