Ozone (O3)
Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive gas composed of three oxygen atoms. It is both a natural as well as a man-made product that occurs in the earth’s upper atmosphere (the stratosphere) and lower atmosphere (the troposphere). Depending on where it is in the atmosphere, ozone affects life on earth.
Today it is used for treating the following:
⁃ infected wounds
⁃ activation of the immune response
⁃ disinfection and the treatment of diseases by limiting the effects of bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, and
⁃ circulatory disorders
⁃ geriatric disorders
⁃ macular degeneration
⁃ viral diseases
⁃ rheumatism and arthritis
⁃ severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)
⁃ Cancer
⁃ Aids
Although ozone is a gas, developments in technology mean it can be used in several forms and different ways, including:
⁃ ozonated olive oil applied directly to the body
⁃ insufflation, a therapy where ozone is blown into the rectum or ears
⁃ ozonated water, which is drunk
⁃ injections, which are often used in dentistry
⁃ autohemotherapy, where blood is withdrawn, mixed with ozone, and put back into the bloodstream
⁃ gas bath or sauna
