MEDICAL OZONE THERAPY
- Written by Suneil Jain, NMD
The
medical use of ozone has been subject to great misunderstanding and criticism in
the United States. Often referred to as “toxic”, ozone therapy is generally
decried as unsafe by conventional medicine. Around the world however, ozone
therapy is used to successfully treat a vast number of medical conditions.
Countries that are actively using and supporting ozone research include:
Germany, Italy, Spain, Israel, Cuba, and France. Ozone therapy can be used in
situations where unhealthy or foreign cells need to be eliminated from the
body. Ozone therapy can also be used preventatively.
Ozone therapy
involves the use of medical grade ozone. Medical grade ozone is a natural
disinfectant and can be used to stimulate detoxification and healing of the body
via the bloodstream, muscles, joints, and rectum. Ozone exerts its beneficial
effects in many and somewhat unrelated pathologies because it acts at a basic
level on several blood components with different functions. Ozone is the best
free radical scavenger there is. It stimulates the production of superoxide
dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, which are the enzymes in the
cell wall that protect the cell from free radical damage.
Free radical damage has been touted as the root cause of many disease
processes. Whether using as an adjunct therapy or as the main component of
therapy medical ozone can easily be incorporated into your treatment plan.
Physicians who utilize ozone therapeutically must
undergo additional training to become certified. |
