Ozone Therapy: Methods and Treatments
Ozone therapy is not FDA approved. The following information is for educational purposes only. Consult your licensed doctor for personal dosages. “Step right up! See the most amazing discovery since the beginning of the solar system. What I have in my hand ladies and gentlemen is a bottle of oxygen!” The claims for ozone may seem a little like the stereotypical allegations made by the old time snake oil salesmen. Yet, the assertions of its ability to destroy bacteria and viruses is beyond debate. Individuals and doctors around the world are using ozone for everything from destroying the AIDS virus to treating tooth decay. Ozone uses seem to be as varied as the imagination. Within the time it will take you to read this article someone in the world will probably think of a new way to use ozone. In the last article it was explained how to set up the ozone generator and oxygen concentrator. It is the goal of this article to explain how to use this equipment, along with some of the accessories used in ozone therapy. Controlling the Intensity of the Ozone Produced Different illnesses require various amounts of ozone to be effective. External uses of ozone usually needs to be of a stronger concentration than is advised for internal uses. Both the ozone generator and oxygen concentrator play a part in controlling the strength of the ozone created. The oxygen concentrator has the ability to control the flow of oxygen that is delivered to the ozone generator. Measured in liters per minute (LPM) the slower the flow the stronger the ozone made. The reason this is so is because oxygen slowly moving through the ozone generator has more time to be made into ozone, so it becomes stronger. The other factor involved in the strength of ozone is the gamma/microgram dial on the ozone generator. The higher the number the stronger the ozone will be produced. To view the table of settings for creating various ozone strengths using the Z5000 ozone generator and oxygen concentrator visit the following web page. Steam Sauna Ozone Therapy The steam sauna is one of the preferred methods in which ozone is delivered. The heat creates and artificial fever within the body which causes the body to produce more white blood cells. Along with this the ozone in the steam sauna enters the blood system through the skin’s pores and may help in the treatment of AIDS, herpes, hepatitis, mononucleosis, cirrhosis of the liver, gangrene, cardiovascular disease, arteriosclerosis, high cholesterol, cancerous tumors, lymphomas, leukemia, rheumatoid and other arthritis, allergies, multiple sclerosis, ameliorates Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, proctitis, colitis, prostate, candadisis, trichomoniasis, open sores, eczema, fungus, Raynaud’s disease, stomatitis and phlebitis. The heat of the sauna should not be allowed to get above 104°F (40°C) as higher heat destroys ozone. Ozone Accessories and Their Uses Both the ozone breathing oil bubbler and humidifier have a extension used to get ozone into, and one for getting the treated ozone out. In most cases ozone needs to be bubbled through either olive oil, or water before use. Pure ozone is so strong it can irritate both the soft membranes and skin.
The breathing oil bubbler is used to treat lung problems and sinuses. The humidifier has a variety of uses. The ozone earscope is attached to it for ear insufflation. Other insufflation and bagging techniques also use the humidifier. Ear Insufflation
With ear insufflation the ear canal should be moistened with water before ozone is delivered to it. The earscope is then inserted into the ears and ozone is allowed to flow freely into, and out of the ears. There needs to be circulation around the earscope, so as to not put too much pressure on the ear drums. The recommended strength of the ozone is between 10 and 30 ug/ml with a oxygen flow rate of 1/4 LPM (.25). It is advised, by doctors in other countries, the first treatment last no longer than on minute. Each successive treatment can increase one minute in length with a total of four treatments. Ear insufflation may relieve swollen glands, a sore throat and may cause sinus drainage. Rectal Insufflation Rectal insufflation has been reported to be one of the most beneficial methods of receiving ozone. First the bowel needs to be evacuated either by a movement, colonic or enema. A rectal catheter with lubricant is inserted about four inches into the rectum. Humidified ozone is then allowed to flow from one to two minutes. Again one should watch the pressure and not allow it to become too intense. Rubbing the stomach may help with the discomfort the pressure may cause. One should then allow the ozone to be absorbed into the body for a half hour before releasing the remainder into a toilet. If at any time cramping, or a bowel movement, presents itself the ozone should be released to a toilet and the process started a new. The flow rate for rectal insufflation is recommended to be 1/4 LPM (.25). Between 20 and 40 ug/ml is the recommended ozone strength. In other countries, where ozone is legal, rectal insufflation has been known to help cancer, HIV/AIDS as well as being an effective treatment for liver diseases like colitis, cirrhosis and hepatitis. For chronic problems this method is often used two or three times a day. Vaginal and Penile Insufflation Each is used to treat problems associated with the region, such as, yeast infections for women and the prostate for men. Each has its own kind of cannula. Pressure buildup, and ozone strength, should be watched with penile insufflation. Vaginal insufflation does not have a problem with pressure buildup, but the ozone strength should not go over recommended dosages. The vaginal area can be treated for long periods of time, because of the lack of pressure buildup. Treatment is most often between 5 and 15 minutes at a recommended LPM rate of 1/8 to 1/4. The ozone strength is recommended to be between 25 and 30 ug/ml. Professional help should be consulted for the application of penile insufflation. Uses for the Water Bubbler and Ozone Cup The water bubbler, as explained in the last article, is used to make ozonated water. Adding ice to the water will help in the absorption and longevity of the ozone. The bubbler has an ozone intake extension, and an outgoing extension which has a ozone destruct attached to it. An ‘ozone destruct’ destroys the excess ozone gas that rises in the bubbler. Because ozone is harsh to the lungs, destroying the extra ozone is far better than allowing it to enter the room. If the ozone destruct is removed from the bubbler, and an outgoing tube inserted, the bubbler can double as a humidifier.
The ozone cup also has an ozone destruct on it. The ozone cup is used for external uses, like spider bites, gangrene and other injuries. The affected area is dampened with water, and then the cup is put over the area where ozone is allowed to wash over it. Much like the technique of bagging the ozone is generally applied from 10 to 30 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day, at a recommended rate of 60 to 90 ug/ml for sterilization, and 30 to 40 ug/ml for a healing effect. Other Methods of Administering Ozone There are three remaining methods of delivering ozone. All three should be administered by medical professionals. Major Autohemotherapy is a method of withdrawing about a 1/2 quart of blood from the patient. The blood is then infused with ozone and reintroduced into the blood system. This is not a preferred method as often the blood has lost much of the ozone by the time it is reintroduced. Direct IV is when ozone is directly injected into blood. This may seem dangerous, most of us remember a movie where the bad guy injects a person with air and they die. The air we breath is 80% nitrogen. Medical ozone is at least 95% oxygen. The body needs oxygen, whereas, nitrogen is responsible for the scuba diving injury called ‘the bends’. So indeed injecting air is deadly, but not ozone, because it is oxygen. Many AIDS and hepatitis patients are reporting excellent benefits by injecting themselves with ozone. But there are issues of cleanliness, and rate of injection that need to be addressed, so a person should either have a professional administer Direct IV, or learn from such a person as to how to apply it. The last way of delivering ozone is the cadillac of all transferral methods. It must be applied in a medical facility for it requires expensive dialysis type medical equipment. In Recirculatory Hemoperfusion blood is withdrawn from one arm, oxygenated, then the toxins and dead material is filtered out of the blood. Once the blood finishes this process it is returned to the body through the other arm. The length of treatment is between 1 and 8 hours. The great additional benefit of this treatment is that the body never has to detoxify as the filtering system does it for the person. This treatment is not available in the United States, but is available in Europe and Mexico, as well as other countries. When deciding the intensity of treatment it should be noted that the average dosage of ozone is 27 ug/ml. The number of treatments depends on the condition. A few treatments may be all that is needed for a mild ailment, whereas a chronic illness may require months of treatment. Each person is different in their need and tolerance of ozone, so therapy must be geared for the individual’s requirements. Some licensed doctors in the United States do use ozone in their medical practice. For a doctor nearest your location call us at 1-479-442-3404.
