What is Medical Ozone?
Ozone (O3) is an activated form of
oxygen (O2). Medical ozone is made when medical grade oxygen is
electrically activated using an ozone generator to form Ozone. It
has been used in medical and naturopathic medicine since the
1870's.
Ozone is an effective oxidizer that
can kill all kinds of bacteria and viruses, including the toxins
that they produce. Ozone is germicidal, bactericidal and
fungicidal. It also works quickly to destroy any number of
poisonous compounds such as chemical waste or pesticides, which
makes the substance particularly valuable as a disinfectant in
purifying water.
What is Medical Ozone Therapy?
Ozone therapy is currently being
used in many countries to treat a broad range of conditions and
ailments in people, including allergies, arthritis, asthma, cancer,
colitis, hepatitis and sinusitis.
Ozone therapy can be used to
detoxify the body and to activate the immune system by stimulating
the production of cytokines. Ozone therapy helps address a lack of
sufficient cellular oxygen in the body which leads to poor health.
Healthy cells require an oxygen rich environment. Many
microorganisms and cancer cells are anaerobic (without oxygen) or
have an anaerobic portion of their life cycle - meaning they cannot
survive in an oxygen rich environment.
Methods of Delivery of Ozone into the body
The method or methods used to
deliver the ozone generally depends on what condition you are
treating. The veterinarian will determine the best method(s) of
delivery of the ozone to your pet.
The most common technique is
Hemotherapy. Ozone is mixed with a blood sample from the body and
injected intramuscularly. This technique targets any condition
including allergies and cancer. Other methods of delivery include
subcutanesouly, insufflation, inhalation, and
transdermally.
What is the treatment protocol?
Ozone therapy is not a drug or a
magic bullet. It is a therapeutic tool which can aid the body in
regaining health. In the end, the immune system has to do the work
of healing the body. Ozone therapy is best performed along with
other treatment modalities in order to achieve the best
results.
The number and frequency of
treatments will vary with the condition being treated. A treatment
plan is determined on an individual basis depending on your pet's
specific medical issues.
