Oxygen is in everything, from the air we breathe to the water we drink. Used for over a century, we have found one more use for this life-necessary element that has been used to treat and cure some of life’s common diseases and infections.
Oxygen, in its many forms, cycles through the atmosphere and, in all metabolic processes, as it does water. Ozone is produced in the upper atmosphere when UV rays react with the oxygen that forms from plants, plankton, algae and other plants, as well as from our oceans.
Ozone has been used to disinfect and treat diseases for 150 years. Its effectiveness has been well documented by such doctors as Dr. Charles J. Kenworth in 1885. The best technology to produce this ozone was designed by Nikola Tesla in 1920. Germany uses ozone generators in their ambulances for treatment of strokes. The ozone helps to decrease the possibility of permanent paralysis after the event, compared with patients who do not use it.
Ozone Treatment protocols, depending on the diagnosis, often start in high doses to revive the immune system and continue with fewer doses. Ozone powers all cleaning systems of free radicals by inducing the production of super oxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase. Within its physiological actions is providing enough oxygen to allow complete oxidation of sugars and also to reach the normal end products of oxidation, which are CO2 and H2O.
When not enough oxygen is available, there is an incomplete oxidation that produces carbon monoxide, lactic acid and other free radicals that are partially oxidized causing cellular injury.
There are multiple ways for its administration depending on the pathology being treated:
The applications of ozone are determined by its anti-inflammatory properties, antiseptic, modulation of oxidative stress and improving peripheral circulation and tissue oxygenation. This determines the large number of complaints, which is useful if used alone or, as a complementary treatment.
Its concentration and application methods vary widely, depending on the problem to be addressed. The application methods vary because the ozone concentration determines the type of biological effect produced by the application and mark its scope in the body. Therefore, other pathologies that can benefit from ozonetherapy are those with inflammatory diseases, infectious, and ischemic disorders of oxidative stress.
Ozonetherapy can treat different dermatological disorders that are often times treated with topical creams and ointments. Such aesthetic medical disorders include:
Just as in the case of dermatology, ozonetherapy can be used to treat the symptoms and results of severe digestive issues. The issues that are treated include:
Geriatrics and neurology are two sciences that have seen the benefits of ozonetherapy and have seen it treat such symptoms as chronic fatigue and memory loss, as well as vascular and cluster headaches, depression and migraines. This type of therapy has also been used to treat different types of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s and senility. Parkinson’s disease and cerebral arteriosclerosis have also been treated by ozonetherapy.
Ozonetherapy can also have a positive effect on the body’s overall locomotive system. Between such issues as arthritis of the hip, knee, spine, rheumatic and autoimmune arthritis and tendonitis, herniated discs and carpal tunnel syndrome, ozonetherapy can help release the body of these tensions and let it move freely. The body’s septic system has also seen improvements through this therapy.
Certain gynecological issues as urinary tract infections and repeated vulvovaginitis can be treated with ozonetherapy as it relieves the body of infections, viruses, fungi and bacteria. It also serves to treat obstetric complication and septic puerperal caused by post-caesarean infections.
Moreover, cardiovascular issues, such as ruptured capillaries, heart disease, ulcers and other artery related issues have all been treated with the treatment of ozonetherapy.
The sciences of dentistry and ophthalmology have also seen the introduction of such therapies as they work to cure issues of gingivitis, glaucoma, pigmentarious retinitis and senile macular degeneration.
