Ozone is composed of three oxygen atoms with the chemical formula of O3. Oxygen atoms are formed as ozone by UV radiation and air ions. Ozone is a form of unstable gas and easily dissolved. Ozone has many advantages, in the field of medicine.

Ozone therapy and its medical benefits

Ozone Therapy has been researched and used as medical treatment for more than 150 years. The treatment results in minimal side effects. Absolute Health offers ozone therapy through a medical ozone generator in accordance with integrative medicine treatment mythology.

Advantages of Ozone Therapy 

1. Elimination of bacteria, fungi, yeasts: Ozone damages the cell wall of bacteria, impedes fungus development, ruins the outer protein shell of viruses and slows down virus reproduction.

2. Stimulation of metabolic oxygen consumption: Ozone therapy stimulates red blood cells to transfer more oxygen to tissues. The process increases creation of antioxidants, protects cell walls and enhances blood vessel flexibility.

3. Stimulation of immunity: Ozone at concentrations between 30-55 μg/cc gives optimum effects in interferon generation. Interferon is a kind of protein released by cells in response to germs, especially viruses, and other organisms affecting immunity.

Absolute Health Integrative Medical Center, applies ozone therapy for the following medical treatments:

• Treatment of infectious diseases caused by bacteria and viruses: For example, medications can only treat symptoms of fever. But ozone can kill viruses to help the patient quickly recover. Ozone can also heal colon infection.

• Treatment of inflammatory diseases: Ozone can effectively treat inflammation. 

• Treatment of immune system disorders: Ozone can treat Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and allergies, as it can boost and re-balance the immunity.

• Treatment of blood circulation disorders: Ozone stimulates red blood cell function to transfer more oxygen to body cells and increase nitric oxide which enhances blood vessel flexibility. Ozone therapy can treat coronary artery disease or ischemic stroke.

Ozone therapy facts

Inadequate information may lead to misunderstanding. Here are some facts below:

• False
• The use of Ozone for medical treatment is not safe

• True

• Direct ozone inhalation is not safe. But, by ozone therapy, the patients do not directly inhale ozone.

Ozone therapy is divided into 2 categories:

1.   Ozone therapy for the whole body: 

    a.   Ozone with blood: Approximate 200 cc. of blood is drawn from the body to blend with ozone. The black blood turns to red        and is injected back to the body. With this method, ozone spreads to the whole body

2. Ozone therapy for specific area
   a.   Anti-inflammation on specific area: Ozone therapy can treat a frozen shoulder with direct injection to the shoulder joint, following anesthetic and vitamin injections. Anesthetic and vitamin injections are equally significant. Aside from their original properties, ozone can specially work better with water or liquid components. Moreover, herniated disks can be treated by direct ozone injection at the tissues around the spine.
   
   b.   Treatment of wound: The diabetes-associated skin infection can be healed by ozone therapy. An ozone treatment bag is wrapped around the wound for 20-30 minutes. The bag prevents ozone leakage. Ozone can kill microorganisms, increase oxygen around the wound and stimulate new tissue formation.
   
   c.    Rectal ozone therapy:  Rectal ozone therapy is for hepatitis treatment.

Contraindications for ozone therapy

No direct inhalation. Patients with bleeding diathesis need to inform their physician before the taking of blood samples.

Side effects of ozone therapy

In some cases, the patients may suffer muscle fatigue or symptoms like low fever. During ozone therapy, microorganisms are killed and toxins are excreted from the body. 1-2 days after all toxins are excreted, patients’ symptoms will recover.
