Ozone is O3. It is a naturally occurring part of the oxygen cycle in nature. It is what you smell after a bolt of lightning goes through the air. Ozone is made up of three oxygen atoms. The ozone molecule is unstable and quickly reverts to its O2 base molecule, releasing an oxygen molecule and moving an electron as it does. It is known as a reactive oxygen species (ROS) for this reason. This makes it a powerful molecule in medical applications. Our office was one of the first in Indianapolis to start using ozone. We have been seeing results for ten years now.
There are numerous benefits to ozone, a few of which are listed here:
- Ozone is AntiAging (it helps to heal the body, helps the skin to regenerate and look younger and activates stem cell production.)
- Ozone Increases Oxygenation of your Cells (this is beneficial to everyone, but especially those living in cities where the oxygen level of the air may be lower.)
- Ozone Modulates your Immune System (for those with a weakened immune system, ozone will boost the immune system. For those with autoimmune disorders, ozone will modulate the immune system to help to stop it from attacking healthy human cells. This same process makes it beneficial for allergy treatment as well.)
- Ozone Increases Energy Production in your Cells (your cells need energy to be healthy; low energy levels mean that you and your cells will not be healthy and will age. Ozone turns the clock back on this process.)
- Ozone Increases the Activity of your “Anti-Oxidant Enzyme Systems”. This means ozone will reduce the oxidation levels of your body. (this allows ozone to help fight cancer (which only grows in an acidic environment) and helps to return your body toward pH balance.)
- Ozone Reduces the level of acidity of your body (this is because ozone stimulates antioxidant production – it is better than using alkaline water.)
- Ozone kills Bacteria, Viruses, Protozoa, Yeast and Viruses on contact. And bacteria can not adapt to this, so they can not develop resistance. It works for all pathogenic bacteria, including MRSA.
- Ozone Kills Cancer cells on contact.
- Ozone increases blood flow to the entire body (this effect can help people with diabetes or heart disease).
- Ozone increases collagen production (this can help return skin to a younger look, and can help heal joints and other tissue).
“During the past decade, contrary to all expectations, it has been demonstrated that the judicious application of ozone in chronic infectious diseases, vasculopathies, orthopedics and even dentistry has yielded such striking results that it is deplorable that the medical establishment continues to ignore ozone therapy.”
— Velio Alvaro Bocci, PhD (Dr. Bocci has been a pioneer in the study of ozone)
Research has shown ozone therapy to be effective at treating infections caused by:
- bacteria
- viruses
- fungi
- yeast
- protozoa
Ozone therapy also helps flush out infected cells. Once the body rids itself of these infected cells, it produces new, healthy ones. This process can lead to a “side effect” of using ozone – if the treatment kills pathogens in your body, you can have a die-off reaction – flu like symptoms – called a Herxheimer reaction. This response is normal, self-limiting and self-resolving.
Ozone has been show to be effective in treating many conditions. Here is a partial list:
- Macular Degeneration
- Lyme disease
- Spider bites/Insect envenomation
- Chronic fatigue
- Allergies
- Arthritis
- Sinusitis
- Fibromyalgia
- Hepatitis
- Autoimmune disease
- Tinnitis
- Alzheimers
- Crohn’s disease
- Candidiasis
- Shingles
- Cancer
- Colitis
- Migraines
- Diabetes
How we offer ozone:
- Rectal Insufflation – infusing ozone rectally. This can be done in the office, or we can help you get your own machine and instruct you how to do it at home.
- Topical Ozone – for open wounds or skin conditions. We can use ozone water or ozonated oil for this.
- Ozone Water – this can be used for treating dental plaque, thrush or even for vaginal use.
- Major Autohemotherapy – we remove your blood, place it in a saline bag, add ozone and reinfuse it to you by running it past a UV light.
- Minor Autohemotherapy – we remove a small amount of your blood, ozonate it and inject it into your muscle. This is a good allergy treatment.
- Limb Bagging – we wrap your affected area in a bag and pass ozone over your skin. This is very useful for wound treatment.
- Ozone into Ears (Auricular Ozone) – this requires a special stethoscope adapter and can be used to treat ear infections.
- High Pass or Multi Pass ozone – the Cadillac of treatment. Your blood is removed and ozone is injected into it under pressure. Then it is returned to you. This is considered one pass. We do up to ten passes.
- Prolozone – using ozone with our prolotherapy treatment enhances the effects of traditional prolotherapy.
- PRPzone – similar to prolozone, we mix the PRP injections with ozone to enhance its effects.
- Stem cells with ozone – we can mix ozone with stems cells to enhance their effect.
- Cosmetic ozone – ozone gas can be injected under the skin to enhance collagen production and help skin look younger.
- Ozone for fat reduction/body sculpting – ozone can be injected into the fat layer of the skin to help break down fat and sculpt the body. It can be used to treat cellulite as well.
- Inhaled ozone – by running the ozone past food grade oils, it can be safely inhaled in low concentrations. This works great for respiratory issues or sinus infections.
