Ozone Therapy

What is Ozone and What Does It Do?

Ozone is O3 (3 oxygen atoms combines) and forms an energetic molecule that readily donates it's third oxygen atom to free radicals that are usually causing damage to our bodies through oxidation. If their is Ozone present in our bodies then the oxidation damage caused by these free radicals is halted because the free radicals are made stable and therefore undestructive by the extra oxygen atom given off by the Ozone.

Ozone is 3000x the Power of Chlorine

Ozone is up to 3000 times faster and more effective than chlorine at killing bacteria, molds, cysts and inactivating virus, while providing you with a purity not achievable with conventional chemicals. Unique to ozone is the fact that micro organisms do not build up immunity to being treated with ozone. Ozone is approved for direct contact with food products by the FDA as an antimicrobial agent and granted full USDA approval with no restrictions for use on organic products.

Major Effects of Ozone

Ozone stimulates the production of white blood cells. These cells protect the body from viruses, bacteria, fungi and cancer. If, deprived of oxygen, these cells malfunction. They fail to eliminate invaders and even turn against normal, healthy cells (allergic reactions). Ozone significantly raises the oxygen levels in the blood for long periods after ozone administration; as a result, allergies have a tendency to become desensitized.
Interferon levels are significantly increased. Interferons are globular proteins. Interferons orchestrate every aspect of the immune system, inhibit viral replication.
Ozone stimulates the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor. TNF is produced by the body when a tumor is growing. Ozone stimulates the secretion of IL-2. Interluekin-2 is one of the cornerstones of the immune system. It is secreted by T-helpers. T-helper causes it to produce more IL-2. Ozone’s main duty is to induce Lymphocytes to differentiate and proliferate, yielding more T-helpers, T-suppressors, cytotoxic T’s, T-delayed’s and T-memory cells.
Ozone kills most bacteria at low concentrations. The metabolism of most bacteria is on average one-seventeenth as efficient as our own.
Ozone is effective against all types of fungi. This includes systemic candida albicans, athlete’s foot, molds, mildews, yeasts, and even mushrooms.
Ozone fights viruses in a variety of ways. As discussed above, ozone also goes after the viral particles directly.
Ozone is antineoplastic. This means that ozone inhibits the growth of new tissue because rapidly dividing cells shift their priorities away from producing the enzymes needed to protect themselves from the ozone. Cancer cells are rapidly-dividing cells and are inhibited by ozone.
Ozone oxidizes arterial plaque. It breaks down the plaque involved in both Arteriosclerosis and Arthrosclerosis.
This means ozone has a tendency to clear blockages of large and even smaller vessels. This allows for better tissue oxygenation in deficient organs.
Ozone increases the flexibility and elasticity of red blood cells.
Ozone accelerates the Citric Acid Cycle. Also known as the Krebs Cycle or TCA Cycle, this is a very important step in the glycolysis of carbohydrates for energy.
Ozone makes the antioxidant enzyme system more efficient.
Ozone degrades petrochemicals. These chemicals have a potential to place a great burden on the immune system.

Aging is a Disease, Ozone Helps Slow the Process

It is not unusual to go to an orthodox medical doctor with a question about a symptom and rather than get a medical explanation, be told “it’s your age.” Age seems to be the excuse for arthritis, diabetes, fatigue, stroke, cancer, impotence, overweight, constipation, digestive disorders, Alzheimer’s and every known medical condition. Age is a scape-goat excuse; it’s the lazy doctor’s way out. Can you imagine all those years in medical school to utter such silliness? In Naturopathic medicine, it is our belief that age and aging, especially premature aging, is a disease. Did you get that? This is a different Medical model. When we define aging as a disease, and put aging in the proper perspective, not only does it not permit the lazy diagnosis, “it’s your age,” but it dares to ask more challenging questions.

Why are so many people old at 35 and others young at 70?
Why do some people look much older and others much younger than their age?
Why do some old people live relatively free of disease?
Why do some people reach a certain age and go down hill quickly while others seem to be ageless?
Why are class reunions so shocking?
Some people don’t seem to change, while others become unrecognizable?
What is old age? What is youth? Is it chronological or bio-chemical?

While our entire society of “sickees” are operating at a level far below their potential. Dr. spent a lifetime studying old people, he traveled to 90 countries, and he claims that oxygen is one of the keys to longevity. Ozone therapy remember, is super oxygen. One of the basic healing principles of Naturopathic medicine always was fresh air and sunshine. We’ve learned that fresh air and sunshine generates ozone, the super oxygen that stimulates healing. In the Hunza country high up in the Himalayan Mountains the average life expectancy is 120 years of age. 110-year-old men play sports with the younger men. They work 10-12 hours a day in the fields. Some live to be 130 years of age and more. There is no cancer, no heart disease, no diabetes, and no arthritis. What do the experts attribute the Hunza’s exceptional health and longevity? Their soil, water and food is different then ours. They don’t have the mental stress that we have. But the biggest contributing factor is pure ozone, the super oxygen that is found in abundance in high mountain areas above 7,000 feet.

Top 10 Benefits of Ozone

Ozone strengthens your immune system
Ozone is a potent regulator of the immune system. When the immune system is overactive (as in auto-immune disease), ozone will calm it down. Conversely, when the immune system is underactive as in chronic infections, ozone will stimulate it. This unique ability of ozone stems from its activation of immune related messenger molecules, so called cytokines, like gamma interferon, interleukin-2, colony stimulating factor, and TNF-alpha, to name just a few.Ozone kills bacteria and viruses on contact
Ozone interferes with the metabolism of bacterium-cells, most likely through inhibiting and blocking the operation of the enzymatic control system. A sufficient amount of ozone breaks through the cell membrane, and this leads to the destruction of the bacteria. Unlike bacteria, viruses multiply only within the host cell. They transform protein of the host cell into proteins of their own. Ozone destroys viruses by diffusing through the protein coat into the nucleic acid core, resulting in damage of the viral RNAOzone increases the oxygen level of your cells
If we stopped breathing oxygen we would all be dead in 8 minutes or less. Why? Oxygen enables our cells to make energy. Without oxygen our cells can’t make energy, and without energy our cells will die. If our cells die, we die. Ozone increases the amount of oxygen that is delivered to the cells by the RBC’s or Red Blood Cells. It also makes the Red Blood Cells more ‘squishy’ so that they can do a better job of fitting down long skinny blood vessels that supply your tissues and organs with blood and oxygen.Ozone detoxifies your body
In transdermal ozone therapy the pores of the skin open due to the gentle heat and steam and ozone enters the body transdermally (via the skin). The ozone penetrates the blood, lymph and fat. By allowing the ozone in and the toxins out, via the sweating process, this method is incredibly effective at detoxifying and oxygenating the body.Ozone reduces inflammation
Ozone alters immune function by causing a controlled oxidative effect, mobilizing the body’s antioxidant defenses, and resolving inflammation.Ozone has been known to kill HIV
Medical ozone contains large excess of energy which it also uses to kill HIV, viruses bacteria and germs on contact. Active oxygen / medical ozone also kills HIV and viruses by using the by products formed when it mixes with bodily fluids. At right concentration, medical ozone kills 99.999% lipid viruses and bacteria in the test tube, water, bodily fluids and in the air.Ozone can kill cancer cells
The way ozone kills unhealthy cells, and not healthy cells is through enzymes. All healthy cells have three enzymes that protect them from being oxidized. All healthy cells love oxygen and require it to operate properly. Every cell is really a oxygen burning machine. Unhealthy cells don't have these enzymes to protect them from being oxidized. This makes all unhealthy cells, including cancers defenseless to ozone.Ozone is anti-aging
For anti-aging it is critical to raise the amount of oxygen in your blood and in your cells. Ozone therapy is one of the most powerful ways to do this. If used correctly, ozone is a “wonder drug” that has the potential to revolutionize medicine and anti aging.Ozone increases energy
You breathe oxygen so that it can be used to create energy in your cells. Quite often this process does not occur very efficiently, especially when humans age beyond the age of 30. Ozone helps to ‘reviatalize’ this process so that you can make more energy from that oxygen that you are breathing, just like fine tuning a car engine so that it can get more power out of gasoline.Ozone reduces acidity
