OZONE THERAPY is a unique form of therapy that both heals and detoxifies at the same time. O3 is the oxygen you breath in the air as a pair of O2 atoms. This is the most stable form of oxygen, it’s colorless, and unlike regular O2, it is composed of three oxygen atoms instead of two. It is the addition of the third oxygen atom that makes O3 “supercharged” oxygen, and gives it all of its remarkable medical benefits. The use of ozone therapy to treat various medical conditions was first developed in Germany in the early 1950’s. Ozone is the strongest naturally occurring oxidant. It’s produced in nature by lightning and ultraviolet irradiation.
Today, medical ozone therapy is common throughout Europe, and its use has gradually been spreading in America over the last 25 years. Pure medical grade O3, when it is used according to the established medical guidelines, has a safety record that is unparalleled. Ozone therapy because of its many therapeutic properties, can be used as complementary part of a treatment plan for almost every disease.
How Is Ozone Works/Uses
Medical ozone is used to reduce the harmful effects of bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast and protozoa. It’s used to disinfect and treat diseases that are caused by these invaders. It works by disrupting bacterial and fungal cell growth and virus-to-cell contact through oxidation. Cells that are vulnerable to invasion by foreign pathogens, like viruses, are also susceptible to oxidation, which is exactly how ozone works to disrupt their growth, eliminate them and allow for the replacement of healthy cells.
The basic function of ozone is to protect humans from the dangerous effects of UV radiation. It occurs naturally on Earth, in concentrations that are perfectly compatible with life. Although the gas has dangerous effects, researchers have explored its therapeutic potential. How is ozone therapy administered? In medicine, controlled therapeutic doses are used in several ways, but it’s not ingested or inhaled.
While in a gaseous state, ozone uses include:
Major Autotherapy Hemotherapy (MAH): is the most common way to administer ozone, and in most
cases, the most effective way ozone is administered. The patient sits in a chair and has from 6 – 12
ounces of blood removed into a sterilized IV bag with small amounts of heparin. Ozone is injected into
the bottle, and the bottle is gently shaken, allowing the red and white blood cells to take up the ozone.
The ozonated blood is then returned to the body. The entire procedure takes about 30-45 minutes.
Rectal insufflation: This method is done by introducing ozone gas through the rectum so it can enter the
colon and bloodstream.
Prolozone: is a technique that combines the principles of neural therapy, Prolotherapy , and ozone
therapy. It involves injecting combinations of procaine, anti-inflammatory medications, homeopathic,
vitamins, minerals, proliferative, and ozone/oxygen gas into degenerated or injured joints, and into
areas of pain. The result of this combination is nothing short of remarkable in that damaged tissues can
be regenerated, and otherwise untreatable pain can be healed.
Hi-Dose: is an exciting advancement in ozone treatment for more significant results. It’s very popular in
Europe and has rapidly gained prevalence worldwide for the notable results it provides. Since
intravenous administration is used for high-dose ozone, the ozone is delivered directly into the
bloodstream for fast, effective absorption.
Ozone therapy should only be used by professionals who have been fully trained in its use. It should
always be accompanied with a blood test/evaluation. There are too many walk-in-clinics that lack the
proper medical practices for providing this treatment. At Monarch, we follow industry standards to
provide the best outcomes.
