Medical Ozone Therapy
Oxygen therapies, many therapeutic uses, effective, beneficial effects every part of our bodies. Medical ozone therapy is recognized by most as the most powerful versatile therapy known in alternative health because it plays a vital role in maintaining our well-being. Oxygen (o2), along with foods is the primary nutrient that cells use to generate energy for all its functions. This energy is produced through oxidation of the unhealthy cells. Ozone Click on picture for details What is ozone? O3 + O3= 3O2
How is ozone made? Ozone is made by passing pure oxygen gas through a tube though which energy is directed. The energy breaks apart the molecules as described above, and what emerges from the other side is a mixture od oxygen and ozone. An important thing to remember here is that, with the exceptionof ozone generators that are strictly used for air or water purification, in no case should ozone desinted to be used for medical reasons ever be made from room air! The reason is that room air contains 20% nitrogen, and when this nitrogen passes through the energy chamber, it is converted to nitrous oxide and nitric oxide, both of which are highly toxic. This is why it is imperative that only high quality pure oxygen be used to generate the ozone used for medical purposes.
How does ozone work? Ozone in biological systems often exerts entirely different effects than it does in " in vitro" environments. In biological systems ozone instantaneously interacts with the double bonds found in amino acids and lipids to form peroxides. It is these various peroxides which exert the biological induction effects that are seen with ozone therapy. These peroxides are as diverse as the various lipids and amino acids found in the blood and tissues, and collectively they are refered to as ozonides. An important concept to remember regarding the formation of ozonides is that since ozone (like water) is a magnetic dipolar molecule, the initial reaction is one that involves an ionic bond. This is important because a common misconception regaurding ozone therapy is that ozone will induce free radical formation. The magnetic potential of a dipolar molecule prevents free radical formation in aqueous environments at all pH's less than 8. Since this pH is not found in the human body, free radical formation does not take place with the use of ozone. This is one of the advantages that ozone therapy has over other oxidative therapies such as hydrogen peroxide and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, where free radical formation is known to occur.
Since ozone will react with any and all double bonds in a lipid or amino acid, the net result is that the lipid or amino acid is broken down into peroxides which are short chained. This distinction is important because as we shall see later, the induction effects of ozone are mediated by the oxidation of intracellular NADH and FADH2, and short chained peroxides can quite easily penetrate cell membranes to reach these molecules. Many of these short chained ozonides are relatively stable, and have been shown to last from days to weeks, thus continuning to exert their effects long after your treatment session. In the description above I was discussing what happens when pure ozone interacts in biological systems. But remember that when the gas comes out of the generator it is actually a mix of 97-98% oxygen with only a small amount of ozone. Although ozone will not produce free radicals, oxygen will. Therefore when the mixture of ozone and oxygen is administered together, free radicals will be induced by the oxygen component. This ozone/oxygen mixture can be applied in many ways. It can be injected into muscle, skin and fatty tissue. It can be introduced into the body cavities such as the rectum, vagina, joints and bladder. In all these methods, free radicals will be formed from the oxygen content of the mixture, and this effect must be considered when using these therapies. The two exceptions to this occur with the use of ozonated water and Major Auto-Hemotherapy (MAH). When water is exposed to ozone, the only molecule trapped in the water matrix is ozone. Since oxygen is not a dipolar molecule, it cannot be contained in water. Therefore the use of ozonated water represents one of the few times where ozone can be harnessed in the absence of oxygen. In MAH, the blood is only exposed to the oxygen/ozone mixture for a few seconds. In those few seconds, because it is so highly reactive, ozone will react instantaneously to produce the resultant peroxides discussed above, but since oxygen requires a significantly longer time to react, the free radical formation in this technique is very minimal.
Ozone has been used by medical doctors for over 50 years. Its use is more prevalent in many parts of Europe where regulations are not so restrictive on Ozone. In the US there are approximately 14 states which allow doctors to use it medically. There are, however, many ways to use Ozone for safe and non-invasive personal therapy on ourselves. Our right to choose what we do for our own health is still to this day preserved. While medical claims are only given by doctors - the results are more important!

Ozone toxicity Practically speaking, the respiratory toxicity of ozone being generated in a medical environment is grossly overrated. This is because in order to inhale enough ozone to cause permanent damage to the pulmonary epithelium, one would have to inhale a 20 gamma concentration of ozone for over one minute. Since the very first inhalation of a 20 gamma concentration will result in severe coughing spasms, more than one inhalation, much less a 60 second exposure, would be impossible. Thus, the permanent toxicity of ozone to the pulmonary epithelium is so far above the tolerable levels that it need not be considered. The one very notable exception to this rule occurs in patients or personnel with a history of either broncho constriction or restrictive lung disease. These persons are quite apt to encounter a potentially severe episode of sudden broncho constriction after only one inhalation, and so great care must be taken when using ozone in their presence. Indeed, even small concentrations that are just barely noticeable may trigger some mild symptoms in a person with reactive airway. we have found this not to be relavent with rectal ozone actually quite the opposite... Ozone applications Ozone therapy is a biological response therapy, which can be used for a wide variety of diseases. Ozone therapy should be used in conjunction with other benifical therapies and will improve results greatly. Coronary Artery Disease and Angina http://www.holistichealthsolutions.info/ozone.html
