If   you knew of a cure that could change the lives of millions of people, would   you share? Of course, you would, and so will I! From pacemakers to artificial   hearts and limbs, to stem cells, America has always been an innovator of   medical technology.

Unfortunately, the cost of these interventions — and

most non-mainstream, proven safe and effective medical therapies — prohibits those who would benefit most from obtaining them. This is just one of many factors that places America approximately 39th in rankings of health care systems throughout the world.

But what would you say to the idea of steering away from conventional medical thinking and opening your eyes and mind to therapies that are considered “alternative” or “outside the box”? You know, medical modalities that offer a cure for an underlying condition rather

than a Band-Aid that masks the symptoms of disease. I am specifically referring to the use of ozone to promote health and enhance longevity.

Ozone: Good or Bad?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency classifies ground ozone as air pollution, yet without it, life on earth would be impossible. A fragile layer of ozone 25 km above the Earth's surface is all that stands between the Earth’s surface and some of the harshest ultraviolet rays from the sun.

The ozone molecule (03) blocks radiation that would otherwise burn our skin and cause cancer. The bottom line is ozone high in the sky is essential while ozone low to the ground is deadly. But ... medical ozone is truly medicines best kept secret!

What Is Medical Ozone?

A highly reactive form of pure oxygen, medical grade ozone is utilized in ozone therapy to create a healing response within the body. The body has the potential to renew and regenerate itself. Proponents of ozone medicine believe that we become sick as a result of this potential being 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. By various mechanisms of action, ozone destroys abnormal cells and foreign invaders (viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc.). 1

Why Haven’t We Heard About Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy has been used in European clinics and hospitals for the past 75 years. As with most medical therapies, however, America lags behind. The reason: Big Pharma. Ozone, like anything that occurs naturally, can’t be patented.

Ozone has been utilized in the United States in limited capacity, such as in water purifying plants, dating back to the early part of the 20th century. Its medicinal use in the U.S. came about only during the last few decades. Yet professional medical ozone therapy societies exist in more than 10 countries worldwide. Ozone was first used medicinally by Tesla in the 1800’s

Recently, the International Scientific Committee of Ozone Therapy (ISCO3) was formed to help establish standardized scientific principles for ozone therapy.

How Does Ozone Therapy Work?

1. Stimulates the production of white blood cells.

2. May have anti-viral properties.

3. Increases the delivery of oxygen from the blood to the cells.

4. May help to maintain healthy cell growth.

5. Oxidizes and degrades petrochemicals.

6. Increases red blood cell membrane fluidity.

7. Increases the production of interferon and tumor necrosis factor.

8. Increases the efficiency of the antioxidant enzyme system, which scavenges excess free radicals in the body.

9. Accelerates the citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, which is the main source of liberation of energy from sugars.

10. Increases tissue oxygenation, thus bringing about patient improvement and optimal health.

Is Ozone Therapy Safe?

Literally millions of ozone therapies have been administered worldwide by tens of thousands of medical practitioners with the safety and efficacy of ozone therapy documented again and again.

The most commonly prescribed form of ozone therapy known as Major Auto-Hemotherapy (MAH) was evaluated for safety in a German study in 1980. After 5,579,238 MAH treatments conducted by 644 therapists on 384,775 patients, only 40 patients complained of side effects. 6

How Is Ozone Therapy Administered?

Ozone therapy may be administered via several different vehicles, each with its respective indications, advantages, and limitations.

Below is a list of several of the most commonly prescribed ozone modalities used in the U.S. today:

Major AHT = MAH: Bladder Insufflation

minor AHT = mAH: Ear Insufflation

Chelozone: Vaginal Insufflation

Rectal Insufflation

Ozonated Oil

Limb Bagging: Ozonated Water

Prolozone: Isode Injections

IV Ozonated Saline: Intravenous Direct

Intra-arterial: Sauna (Steam and Infrared)

Inhalation Therapy: OHT though olive oil 

MAH is currently the most widely used vehicle to administer ozone therapy to patients.

Major Auto-Hemotherapy

Major Auto-Hemotherapy (MAH) involves the injection of medical grade ozone gas into blood drawn from a person. The ozone is allowed to mix with the blood for a period of time.

The ozonated blood is then intravenously infused back into the same person. The ozonated blood will be a much brighter red color than the drawn blood. This is because the blood has been oxygenated.

It appears that when ozone is injected into the treated sample of blood, it destroys any pathogens, and when it is injected back into the person, it may have the effect of an autogenous (self-generated) vaccine although more research is necessary to better understand this potential effect. 7,8

MAH is a specific, medical procedure that must be performed by properly trained, medical professionals in accordance with strict protocols.

When properly performed, MAH is comfortable, safe, and effective. It has a cumulative effect so that each treatment builds on and enhances the effects of previous treatments.

Contraindications and Side Effects of Ozone Therapy

Contraindications for ozone therapy include acute alcohol intoxication, recent MI, early pregnancy, active bleeding, uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, thrombocytopenia, ozone allergy, and patients with a rare condition known as G6PD. 

Side effects are rare but include flu-like symptoms, muscle aches, nausea and vomiting, headache, and sneezing. Some practitioners believe that the side effects might actually be the result of the “healing response” and not even related to ozone itself.

These practitioners reference the Herxheimer Reaction — commonly seen in Lyme disease patients receiving antibiotics. Symptoms develop from the toxins released from dying organisms. It’s been postulated that this is what happens with ozone patients who complain of symptoms.

The future is in the hands of open-minded physicians and you as patients seeking options and answers for your healthcare needs. 

WHAT IS OZONATED OLIVE OIL?

Ozonated olive oil was apparently discovered quite accidentally during the early years of the 20th century when tuberculosis was commonly treated by breathing in ozone through an oil.

Following a number of treatments, the oil used turned into a gel which held onto the ozone for a prolonged period of time. This made the oil an excellent healing salve which was used for various health problems.

In 1904 Nikola Tesla became the first person to market ozonated oil and pharmacies across the world started selling it under its commercial name ‘Glycozone’.

Of course, the word ozone these days has negative connotations. We associate it with increasing ozone levels and pollution but the ozone itself is not to blame rather it is the pollutants getting caught inside the ozone.

The ozone actually helps to cleanse the air and although the gas alone is considered toxic and damaging to lung tissue when inhaled, when it is used more selectively it offers some significant benefits.

Ozone therapy has been popular around Europe for many decades where it is used to treat numerous ailments ranging from strokes to dermatitis. In the US, its use as a medical treatment varies between states but it appears to be increasing in popularity while ozonated oils have been researched fairly extensively.

HOW IS OZONATED OIL MADE?

It is produced by using very high quality, cold pressed virgin olive oil which is put through a manufacturing process referred to as ‘ozone injection’. This process involves bubbling the ozone into the oil for a fairly extended period until it is ready for use.

Some companies are known to use a low-quality ozone generator which may cause contamination of the oil. For the best quality and the purest form of ozonated olive oil, you should ensure that it was produced with a cold plasma generator rather than a corona generator.

There is also the question of whether the Oil has been ozonated enough. Properly ozonated olive oils (like those used in studies) should lose color and become more viscous. (3)

BENEFITS OF OZONATED OLIVE OIL

Ozonated olive oil is most commonly used for the skin. It can be applied directly to the skin in exactly the same way that you would use a skin cream or salve.

It has properties that can help stimulate regeneration of skin cells while also being able to sterilize and clean wounds. Ozonated olive oil can also reduce inflammation, ease irritation and speed up healing.

OZONATED OLIVE OIL FOR THE SKIN

As we have mentioned, ozonated olive oil is mostly used to support healthy skin and treat a wide variety of skin conditions.

FOR ACNE AND ECZEMA

As a topical massage paste, the ozonated oil acts as a natural antioxidant which allows for toxins and lactic acid to be released from your pores which cleanses the skin and helps get rid of dirt and bacteria.

This and its antibacterial qualities makes it a useful natural treatment for acne while it is also used effectively to treat many chronic skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. As well as its ability to cleanse the skin, ozonated olive oil helps ease irritation and reduce redness and swelling of the skin.

FOR WRINKLES

Because of its antioxidant actions, ozonated olive oil can also be used to eradicate some of the signs of aging like wrinkles and diminish the appearance of age spots.

OTHER USES FOR THE SKIN INCLUDE:

As a moisturizer leave it on for 20 minutes before removing it

To reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks

To relieve sunburn

To treat infections of the sweat glands

Yeast infections of the skin

To break down cellulite

OZONATED OLIVE OIL FOR THE TEETH

I would never have thought that olive oil was good for your teeth but if you are one of those people who would prefer to avoid those trips to the dentist, ozonated olive oil may be just what you need.

A study published in 2012 investigated the use of ozonated olive oil to treat certain periodontal conditions in 20 subjects. They found that when ozonated olive oil was used as an adjunctive treatment to root planning or scaling it resulted in significant improvements for the participants who used it. (1)

Experts recommend that you apply it to your gums with a cotton swab or a toothpick or even add a few drops to your toothbrush to brush your teeth with.

FOR HERPES

There is no scientific evidence that ozonated olive oil can work as a long-term solution for herpes but the internet is awash with anecdotal reports that it is an extremely effective short-term treatment.

For cold sores, apply the ozonated oil to the affected area 3 times a day until your sores have subsided.

FOR ATHLETES FOOT

If you suffer from Athletes foot or nail fungus, then ozonated olive oil may help.

First, soak the feet in the bath or a bowl for ten minutes or so and then dry your feet making sure that you attend to the areas between your toes.

Once they are dried properly, apply your ozonated oil around the affected areas of your feet and toes.

Repeat the process several times a week for at least 3 weeks even after the condition has improved.

FOR SORE MUSCLES

If your muscles are sore and aching after a hard day on your feet or an intense workout session, you can rub your ozonated olive oil into your sore muscles to help ease the pain.

CUTS, BURNS, AND WOUNDS

Ozonated olive oil is often used successfully to treat minor wounds, lesions, burns, and bites.

A recent study conducted on guinea pigs found that animals treated with ozonated olive oil experienced significant recovery in their wounds compared to animals in the non-ozone group. The researchers concluded that ozonated oil could be used to enhance skin wound healing. (2)

FOR BABY DIAPER RASH

Ozonated olive oil is a safe and natural treatment for your baby’s diaper rash. It contains none of the harmful chemicals found in some over the counter creams and should help ease your baby’s discomfort and ease any swelling or skin wounds.

FOR HEMORRHOIDS

Ozonated olive oil is regarded as one of the best natural treatments for painful hemorrhoids. It has soothing qualities and anti-inflammatory properties that will help relieve the pain and heal any breakage in the skin.

AS A DEODORANT

It may sound odd but a dab of ozonated olive oil under the armpits can help you smell fresher for longer.

To use it as a deodorant, simply apply it under your arms and anywhere else that is prone to sweat and body odor.

It will help to oxidize the bacteria which leads to body odor.

Try it out and let us know if it works.

BENEFITS OF USING OZONATED OLIVE OIL IN PASTE FORM

An ozonated olive oil paste is produced by extending the injection or bubbling period to three weeks. This process is far more extensive and results in a paste with far greater oxygen levels and ozone saturation than the more common form. (3)

When you massage it into your body, you absorb the ozonide into the tissues which result in the body’s toxins and lactic acid becoming oxidized. It has all the same skin benefits that regular ozonated olive oil has but the effects are even greater.

OZONATED OLIVE OIL SIDE EFFECTS

There are no adverse side effects associated with the topical use of ozonated olive oil.
