Intravenous Ozone Therapy

Ozone Therapy is a unique and integrative treatment that is used to increase the body's oxygen level through the introduction of ozone into the body. This is achieved through the process known as autohemotherapy, in which blood is drawn from a patient, infused with the ozone and reinjected intravenously (directly into the vein). The effects are shown to be both healing and detoxifying with its main purpose of suppressing infection and boosting the immune system. 

The history of ozone therapy dates back to early 1950's in Germany and has since gained recognition in the United States as more physicians are understanding its health benefits. Studies have shown that as part of an overall integrative treatment plan, it produces positive outcomes for treating a variety of conditions and illnesses such as chronic hepatitis, herpes, chemical sensitivities, macular degeneration, chronic bladder conditions, colitis, and Crohn's disease. 

The form of oxygen most people are familiar with is the kind in the air we breathe. It is the single most important nutrient for the health and wellness of our body. It exists as a pair of oxygen atoms and is the most stable form of oxygen, as well as colorless. Ozone, on the other hand, is a form of oxygen that is composed of three oxygen atoms. It is the addition of the third oxygen atom that gives ozone its remarkable medical properties by making it a "supercharged" oxygen atom.

Ozone is found naturally in the body. In fact, our white blood cells make ozone as part of their immune response when we won't feel well. By using ozone therapy you are essentially boosting your natural immune system, as well as, supporting your system in several other ways. It works very well for many chronic conditions associated with immune dysfunction associated with immune dysfunction, infections or inflammation.

Ozone therapy provides many powerful and healing health benefits with little or no side effects. STudies show these benefits:

• Suppress infections by killing viruses, bacteria and yeast, especially those hard-to-treat, resistant pathogens that can be found in chronic conditions, such as Lyme disease;
• Improves circulation by enhancing the flow of your blood;
• Works as an immune modulator, meaning that it helps to keep your immune system in top working order;
• Increases the uptake of oxygen by stimulating the enzyme DPG (diphosphoglycerate), which helps the cells get all the oxygen they need to function properly. This aids in killing resistant, anaerobic infections and provides the cells in the area with the extra oxygen needed to heal.
• Stimulates your mitochondria, the powerhouse of your cells, increasing the cells' energy so that your body stays healthy; and
• Enhances your body's ability to increase its antioxidant capabilities and protection.
