The NCBI states that Ozone (O3), a gas discovered in the mid-nineteenth century, is a molecule consisting of three atoms of oxygen in a dynamically unstable structure due to the presence of mesomeric states. 

Ozone therapy has been utilized and extensively studied for many decades. Its effects are proven, consistent, and with minimal side effects. Medical O3, used to disinfect and treat disease, has been around for over 150 years. Used to treat infections, wounds, and multiple diseases, O3’s effectiveness has been well-documented. It has been used to disinfect drinking water before the turn of the last century. Ozone was known to treat as many as 114 diseases.[11] Ozone therapy has been in use since the 1800s and in 1896 the genius Nikola Tesla patented the first O3 generator in the US, later forming the “Tesla Ozone Company.”[12] During the first world war (1914-18) doctors familiar with O3’s antibacterial 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.[13]

Inactivation of Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi, Yeast, and Protozoa

Ozone disrupts the integrity of the bacterial cell envelope through the oxidation of phospholipids and lipoproteins. In fungi, ozone inhibits cell growth at certain stages. With viruses, the ozone damages the viral capsid and disrupts the reproductive cycle by disrupting the virus-to-cell contact with peroxidation. The weak enzyme coatings on cells that make them vulnerable to invasion by viruses make them susceptible to oxidation and elimination from the body, which then replaces them with healthy cells.

Enhancement of Circulation*

In circulatory disease, a clumping of red blood cells hinders blood flow through the small capillaries and decreases oxygen absorption due to reduced surface carrying ability. Oxygenation of the tissues increases as the arterial partial pressure increases and viscosity decreases. Ozone also oxidizes the plaque in arteries, allowing the removal of the breakdown products, unclogging the blood vessels.

Stimulation of Oxygen Metabolism

Ozone causes an increase in the red blood cell glycolysis rate. This leads to the stimulation of 2,3- diphosphooglycerate (2,3-DPG) which leads to an increase in the amount of oxygen released to the tissues. There is a stimulation of the production of the enzymes which act as free radical scavengers and cell wall protectors: Glutathione peroxidase, Catalase, and Superoxide dismutase. Oxone activates the Krebs cycle by enhancing oxidative carboxylation of pyruvate, stimulating the production of ATP. Ozone also causes a significant reduction in NADH and helps to oxidize cytochrome C. Prostacyclin, a vasodilator, is also induced by ozone.

Formation of Peroxides

Ozone reacts with the unsaturated fatty acids of the lipid layer in cellular membranes, forming hydro peroxides. There is a synergistic effect with cellular-formed H202. Lipid peroxidation products include alkoxyl and peroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen, ozonides, carbonides, carbonyls, alkanes, and alkenes.

Dissolution of Malignant Tumors*

Ozone inhibits tumor metabolism, In addition, ozone oxidizes the outer lipid layer of m·alignant cells and destroys them through cell lysis. (break-down). Phagocytes produce H202 and hydroxy/ to kill bacteria and viruses. The generation of hydroxy/ by killer cells is critical to their cytotoxic capability. Ozone stimulates the conversion of L-arginine to citrulline, nitrite and nitrate by phagocytes, acting on tumors.

• Increases active oxygen in the body
• Cleans arteries and veins,

Ozone Bagging

Bagging can be used for treating a non-healing wound, infection, trauma, or rash involving an arm or leg or a finger or toe. It is non-invasive whereby the affected area is wrapped into a sealed bag allowing ozone gas to be pumped onto the affected area and tissue. The treatment is administered over 30 minutes and used for 

• Diabetic ulcers
• Nail and skin fungal infections
• Athlete’s foot
• Bacterial infections
• Wound healing

Another non-invasive method that safely blows ozone to the ear canal allowing it to penetrate the eustachian tubes and sinuses. Treatment is approximately 3-5 minutes is beneficial to: 

• Kill pathogens found within the ear canal and sinuses.
• Improve overall circulation throughout the body.
• Decrease sinus inflammation or infection.
• Improve oxygen efficiency.
• Reduce brain fog.
• Provide relief from tinnitus, vertigo, and other related conditions.

Ozone gas is administered directly into the rectum and large intestine using specialized medical supplies that deliver the Ozone easily and painlessly over several minutes. This treatment can be performed several times per week or as needed to treat an acute or chronic condition.
