How Is Ozone Therapy Applied?

Over the past sixty years, over a dozen methods have been developed, primarily in Europe, in the application of ozone in medical therapy.  In most cases, tiny amounts of ozone are added to pure oxygen (usually consisting of 0.05 parts of ozone to 99.95 parts of oxygen for internal use and 5 parts of ozone to 95 parts of oxygen for external applications.) The exact amount used is determined on a case by case basis, as physicians have found that not enough ozone can be ineffective, while too much ozone can be immuno-suppressive,  Cuban physicians use 5 primary methods to treat patients with ozone:

1. Major Autohemotherapy

Major autohemotherapy calls for the removal of between 50-100ml of the patient's blood.  Ozone and oxygen are then bubbled into the blood for several minutes, and then the ozonated blood is re-introduced into a vein.  These methods have been used to successfully to treat a wide variety of health problems, including herpes, arthritis, cancer, heart disease, and HIV-infection.  It is probably the most commonly used type of ozone therapy today, both in Cuban and abroad.

2. Rectal Insufflation

A mixture of ozone and oxygen is introduced through the rectum and absorbed into the body through the intestine.  Used for a wide variety of health problems, this method is considered one of the safest.  Cuban physicians use this method primarily when treating children and elderly patients, whose veins may be too delicate for autohemotherapy.

3. Ozone Bagging

This non-invasive method uses a specially-,made plastic bag that is placed around the area to be treated.  An ozone/oxygen mixture is pumped into the bag and is absorbed into the body through the skin.  Ozone bagging is primarily used in Cuba to treat leg ulcers, gangrene, fungal infections, burns, and slow-healing wounds.

4. Injection

Used primarily to treat arterial circulatory disturbances, a small amount of ozone and oxygen are injected through intra-arterial application.  It is also injected directly into joints, especially for treatment of arthritis and other joint disease.

5. Ozonated oil

Used primarily to treat skin problems, ozone gas is added to olive oil and applied as a balm or salve for long-term, low dose exposure.  In Cuba, it is made with sunflower oil, and applied externally to treat a wide variety of problems including fungal infections (including athletes foot), fistulae, leg ulcers, bed sores, gingivitis, herpes simplex, hemorrhoids, vulvo-vaginitis, bee stings, insect bites, acne and other skin-related problems.  The Cubans are also using capsules filled with ozonated oil to treat gastro duodenal ulcers, gastritis, Guardia, and peptic ulcers.

Indications

In Cuba today, ozone is routinely utilized in the following areas of medical therapy:

1. Ophamology: Retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma, optic nerve dysfunction, thrombosis, corneal ulcers.

2. Intensive Care: Sepsis control and immunostimulation.

3. Dermatology: Acne, allergies, mycosis, furnunculosis, fistulae.

4. Internal Medicine: Metabolism dysfunction, hepatitis, blood alteration, hyper-cholesterolemia, cerebral sclerosis, constipation, cirrhosis of the liver.

5. Surgery: Before and after operation for fast recovery.

6. Gynecology: Vulvovaginitis

7. Oncology: As an adjunct to oncological combined therapies, healing radiation scars.

8. Blood Treatment: Before any transfusion to prevent hepatitis.

9. Angiology: Venous and arterial circulatory disturbances, gangrene, diabetic foot, thrombophlebitis, chronic ulcerations.

10. Gerontology: Senile dementia (Alzheimer and vascular dementia).

11. Urology: Cystitis, prostatitis.

12. Gastroenterology: Mucous colitis, diarrheas, giardias, amoebas.

13. Otorhinolaryngology: Chronic otitis, sinusitis.

14. Orthopedics: Arthritis, polyarthritis, spondylitis, osteomyelitis.

15. Rheumatology: Rheumatoid arthritis

16. Neurology: Parkinson's disease, Freidreigh ataxia

17.  Stomatology: Stimatitis, cleaning and disinfection of buccal membrane.

18. Aesthetics: Cellulites
