Importance of Oxygen:

      Of all the known elements, oxygen is the most important to the human body. Oxygen is the life-giving, life-sustaining element. Approximately 90% of the body’s energy are created by oxygen. We would survive for only a few minutes without oxygen.

The only way to truly get the best health, is to make sure of complete cellular oxygenation.

Today there is acute and unnatural decrease in atmospheric oxygen. There are many causes for this decrease, many of which are obvious, such as deforestation, industrial pollution, car exhaust pollution, devitalized soil due to over-use of nitrates and organophosphates, volcanic eruptions and deterioration in the ozone layer.

It has been postulated that the air breathed by our ancestors during our evolution contained approximately 50% oxygen. Two hundred years ago when measurements of air oxygen began, the air was composed of 38% oxygen and 1% carbon dioxide. The level measured more recently by Swiss scientists in 1945-1946 was 22% oxygen. They have been carefully monitoring it ever since and most recent measurements indicate that the percentage of oxygen is 19% in the air we breath. In cities the oxygen level can go low down to reach sometimes 10%. And it is clearly understood that there is significant increase in oxygen demand because of physical and mental exhaustion noticed nowadays.

Research by European doctors over several decades has proved that proper oxygenation of blood can restore vibrant health and slow down or even reverses aging process. Moreover even the most advanced states of disease respond rapidly to this treatment.

What is Ozone?

Ozone, which is often referred to as “activated oxygen” is represented in chemical formula as O3. This is pure elementary oxygen but with 3 atoms instead of the usual 2 atoms in the oxygen that we breathe.

Ozone is naturally generated by the action of ultra-violet rays from the sun on oxygen in the upper atmosphere. Ozone is also created from oxygen naturally through high-voltage electrical charges such as lightning, or from high voltage electrical apparatus. Ozone is also created at sea level by the action of waves on the shore, and ozone is that fresh clean smell in the air which we experience after a storm.

Ozone is essential to our lives since it purifies the lower atmosphere by combining with dangerous hydrocarbons, reducing them to harmless carbon dioxide and water. Ozone also shields us from deadly radiation in the upper atmosphere by forming the recently much depleted ozone layer.

What can Ozone do?

•  Inactivates Viruses, Bacteria, Yeast, Fungi, Parasites and Protozoa.

• Stimulates Immune System, and Speeds Healing.

• Cleans Arteries and Veins, Improving Circulation.

• Purifies the Blood and Lymph.

• Oxidizes Toxins, Facilitating their Excretion.

• Normalizes hormone and Enzyme Production.

• Reduces Inflammation.

• Reduces Pain, Calm nerves.

• Reduces Cardiac Arrhythmia.

• Improves Brain function and Memory.

• Scavenges Free Radicals.

• Chalets Heavy Metal, working well in conjunction with EDTA.

• Stimulates production of Protective Enzymes.

History of Medical Ozone

• C. Lender 1870 (ozone purify the blood)

• In Holland 1893 Water treatment with ozone (now more than 3000 in the world)

• War I 1914-1918 ozone used to treat wounds, foot gangrene and effect of poisonous chlorine gas.

• Dr.Otto Warburg awarded Noble Prize in Medicine in 1931 and in 1944 for his discovery of the basic cause of cancer in damaged cell respiration.

• In 1983 first International Medical Ozone Association conference was held in Washington.

Approval of use of Ozone in Medicine

After 130 years of usage it is approved in 22 countries: Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Japan, Singapore, Cuba, Mexico, Britain and 25 US states.

In December 1999 approved in Egypt as an Adjuvant Therapy

How Does Ozone Work

When a cell becomes stressed by physical or chemical shock or by viral, bacterial or fungal attack, its energy levels are reduced by the outflow of electrons and becomes electropositive. Ozone possesses the third atom of oxygen which is electrophilic i.e. ozone has a free radical electrical charge in the third atom of oxygen which seeks to balance itself electrically with other material with a corresponding unbalanced charge.

Diseased cells, viruses, harmful bacteria and other pathogens carry such a charge and so attract ozone and its by-products. When ozone is introduced into the blood, it reacts with these oxidisable substrates killing viruses, bacteria and fungi. In addition, the metabolic waste products of these organisms are oxidized and an oxygen rich environment is provided which healthy cells can thrive.

Normal healthy cells can not react with ozone or its by-products as they posses a balanced electrical charge and strong enzyme system.

Ozone Targets Only Diseased Cells and Pathogens

Mode of Action of Ozone

•  Inactivation of bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa: Disrupts the integrity of bacterial cell envelope through oxidation of the phospholipids and lipoproteins.Damages viral capsid and upsets reproductive cycle by disrupting virus-to-cell contact with peroxidation. Inhibits cell growth at certain stages in fungi

• Enhancement of Circulation:Reduce clumping of red cells and restore its flexibility and oxygen carrying ability.Arterial oxygen partial pressure increases and viscosity decreases leading to better tissue oxygenation. Oxidizes plaque in arteries allowing removal of the breakdown products.

• Stimulation of oxygen metabolism: Increases red blood cell glycolysis rate ® stimulation of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) ® increase of oxygen released to tissues.  Activates Krebs cycle by enhancing oxidative carboxylation of pyruvate ® stimulating production of ATP. Stimulation of the production of the enzymes that act as a free radical scavengers and cell wall protector: Glutathione Peroxidase, Catalase, and Superoxide Dismutase.   Production of Prostacycline ® vasodilatation.

• Dissolution of malignant tumors: Ozone inhibits tumor metabolism, oxidizes the outer lipid layer of malignant cells and destroys them through cell lysis.  Ozone increases the ability of phagocytes to kill tumor cells (by stimulation of conversion of arginine to citrulline, nitrite and nitrate by phagocytes)

• Activation of the immune system: stimulates production of Interferon

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)

Interleukin-2

Conditions treated by Ozone

As ozone works on the cellular level so it can be used in many conditions and in different specialties

• Viral diseases e.g. Hepatitis, AIDS, Herpes Zoster

• Degenerative diseases and Disturbances of the immune system e.g. Rheumatic diseases and Rheumatoid disorders

• Bacterial diseases e.g. infected wounds, diabetic foot, infected burns, chronic sinusitis

• Exhaustion, nervous tension , pain in general

• Vascular diseases e.g. atherosclerosis, disturbances in peripheral blood circulation

• Malignancy in combination with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy

• Obesity and hyper-chlesterolaemia

And many other conditions (around 190 disease or medical problem)

Ozone side effects

Respiratory irritant if inhaled directly in high concentration and for a long time

In comparison to many other therapeutic modalities it has far less side effects

Methods of Application

• Injection: autohaemotherapy, or direct injection into a vein, artery, muscle, joint or direct into a tumor

• Insufflation: in the ear, vagina, rectum, urethra

• Ingestion: ozonated water

• Transdermal: bagging, body suit, ozonated olive oil, cupping with a funnel, Steam Sauna

Non-Medical uses of Ozone

Water purification: kills bacteria and viruses much more potent than chlorine and with no side effects

Disinfecting swimming pools.
