Ozone therapy is the use of medical grade ozone, a highly reactive form of pure oxygen, to create a curative response in the body. The body has the potential to renew and regenerate itself. When it becomes sick it is because this potential has been blocked. The reactive properties of ozone stimulate the body to remove many of these impediments thus allowing the body to do what it does best – heal itself. Ozone is not a medication per se, rather ozone signals the body to respond appropriately.
Ozone therapy has been and continues to be used in European clinics and hospitals for over fifty years. Ozone was in regular medical usage in the United States before 1885 as reported in the Florida Medical Association. Ozone predates the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act and the FDA. With the advent of antibiotics, ozone therapy faded from routine use in the US. However, in the early 1980’s, ozone was re-introduced to North America and has been increasingly used since. When ozone is injected into the bloodstream, it immediately reacts with any available oxidizable substrate (called peroxidation), most notably the lipids of cell membranes. The lipid peroxidation products created by ozone include hydrogen peroxide, which is the mechanism by which viruses, bacteria, and fungi are killed by immune cells (macrophages). In addition, other highly reactive substances are formed that promote overall detoxication of chemicals, toxic metals, metabolic waste, etc.
Medical ozone is made by passing pure oxygen gas through a crystal tube through which an electrical spark is directed. The electrical energy breaks apart the oxygen molecules as described above. What emerges from the other side is a mixture of pure oxygen and ozone. It is critical that only medical grade pure oxygen is used and not an oxygen concentrator. We use a state-of-the-art self-calibrating German-made unit with full certification to generate ozone for systemic ozone therapy.
What are some of the most effective ways of getting ozone into the body?
Ozone therapies are administered separately from our high antioxidant formulas for the best therapeutic results. We can individualize your treatment further by adding in specific injectable homeopathies. Tell us how you are feeling, and we can address your symptoms.
