Ozone is extremely reactive and readily attaches itself to other molecules. When contaminants (bacteria, viruses, etc…) make contact with ozone, it creates a hole in their cell wall and kills the cell. This process is called “oxidation” and once used ozone reverts into oxygen, making it a very environmentally friendly oxidant. 

Ozone is safe when used under the right conditions. If proper safety measures aren’t in place, then high concentrations of ozone in the air can cause health problems. If you start to cough when around ozone, then there is too much ozone in the air, and you should remove yourself from the room or properly ventilate while fixing the cause of ozone in the air. It takes an extended period at very elevated levels to cause lung irritation. 

Ozone can be administered to the body through multiple methods. It can be combined with blood or other liquids, or injected intravenously, subcutaneously, intramuscularly and intra-articular (joints). It also can be applied through various routes including rectally, vaginally, via ears/nose, and more! It can also be applied topically via limb bagging, or with ozonated water and oils. Depending on how ozone is applied it will treat systemically, locally or both. Systemic treatments benefit the whole body and local treatment treat a specific area. 

There are two methods to create ozone: ultraviolet (UV) and corona discharge. Corona discharge is when energy is introduced to oxygen which causes the oxygen to split into two individual oxygen atoms which then fuse with two other oxygen molecules, creating two O3 molecules. 

The number of treatments will differ according to the condition being treated, whether chronic versus acute, and upon individual patient needs as determined by the physician.  A personalized treatment plan will be discussed during your initial consultation.

Ozone (O3) therapy has been used and extensively studied for many decades. Medical O3, has been used to treat diseases and has been around for over 150 years. Ozone is known to treat as many as 114 diseases. During the First World War (1914-18) doctors familiar with O3’s properties, and with few other medical resources available to them, applied it topically to infected wounds and discovered O3 not only remedied infection but also had hemodynamic and anti-inflammatory properties.

In the late 1980s, reports emerged that German physicians were successfully treating HIV patients with O3 Autohemotherapy (AHT). There was then no pharmaceutical treatment for HIV and a pandemic was feared, so Canadian authorities authorized the study to test the safety and efficacy of O3 AHT in AIDS patients. Many great research studies can be found on the treatment efficacy of Ozone. Many medical personnel are using Ozone for treatment and gaining excellent results. Ozone is used in a variety of ways. Also, it should be mentioned you do not have to have a disease to be treated with Ozone as this therapy has shown to have great results in athletes, anti-aging, and just overall prevention of disease.

Ozone Water is drinking water or water that can be used to clean wounds, that is sanitized and has dissolved ozone. Ozone kills bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungus. Ozonated water also has multiple health benefits. Due to ozones short half life, ozone water should be consumed within 30 minutes.
