What is Ozone?

Ozone (O3) is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms and is a natural part of the environment. It occurs both in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, or stratosphere, and at ground level in the lower atmosphere, or troposphere. Its primary function is to protect humans from the harmful effects of UV radiation.

What is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy is an alternative medical practice that inserts medical-grade ozone gas into the body. Medical-grade ozone is a highly active and reactive form of oxygen that can potentially restore optimum oxygen levels in the body. It has been utilised and extensively studied for many decades. Additionally, its effects in treating multiple diseases, infections and wounds are medically documented, consistent and with minimal side effects.

Ozone therapy involves filling your body with small amounts of ozone in a controlled manner. When administered directly, it may assist the immune system in performing its role in killing bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. When administered systemically, ozone therapy could potentially have the effect of improving oxygenation and enhancing energy production, stimulating the immune system to be more active.

Lyme Disease

cause and symptoms

Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and, rarely, Borrelia mayonii. It is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis).

Blacklegged ticks can occasionally transmit other diseases such as anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Borrelia miyamotoi disease, Powassan virus disease, and ehrlichiosis associated with Ehrlichia muris eauclarensis

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), typical Lyme disease symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migran. If left untreated, the infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system.

Lyme disease is diagnosed based on symptoms, the possibility of exposure to infected ticks and laboratory test results.

Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with a 2- to 4-week course of oral antibiotics.

A vaccine for Lyme disease is not currently available. Prevention includes insect repellent, removing ticks promptly, applying pesticides, and reducing the available size of the available tick habitat.

Ozone Therapy Benefits

Ozone is a strong healing tool that aims to help the body regain its health. Its effectiveness is often maximised when used in conjunction with other treatments in order to boost immunity and promote well-being. Some of its possible benefits are:

Reduces inflammation
Anti-viral, anti-fungal, antibacterial and antiparasitic effects.
Faster wound healing
Brain function enhancement
Energy production boost
Cosmetic / aesthetic benefits

At MedInstitute ozone is administered through the following methods:

Ozone is a strong healing tool adjunct that can help the body regain its health. Its effectiveness is often maximized by using it in conjunction with other treatments in order to boost immunity and promote well-being. Some of the possible benefits are listed below:

Minor autohemotherapy
Major hyperbaric autohemotherapy
Local ozone injections
Subcutaneous injection
Topical application of ozone gas (bagging)
Topical ozone gas – sauna (wellness)
Topical application as ozonated oil
Infusion of ozonated water

In our centre we use Hyper Medozon comfort by HERRMANN Apparatebau GmbH to administer ozone therapy (MDD 93/42/EEC IIb compliant).

Minor autohemotherapy

Minor autohemotherapy involves the pull of small amounts of blood, such as 3-10ml vials, from an individual’s vein via a hypodermic needle; a hollow needle usually used with a syringe. The blood is then mixed with ozone and is injected back into either a muscle or the skin.

Major hyperbaric autohemotherapy

Major autohemotherapy (Hyperbaric Ozone Therapy) – is an alternative treatment that involves the transfer of ozonated blood under hyperbaric pressure once or multiple times, over the course of a single treatment session.

1 - Pass Major Autohemotherapy - involves removing about 180-200 ml of blood into a vacuum bottle, pressurizing it with oxygen/ozone gas at a concentration of about 70 mcg/cc and returning it rapidly to the patient.
Multi-pass /10-pass Major Autohemotherapy - similarly to 1-pass ozone therapy, it involves removing about 180-200 ml of blood into a vacuum bottle, pressurising it with oxygen/ozone gas at a concentration of about 70 mcg/cc and returning it rapidly to the patient. However, this process is then repeated 10 times providing the client with up to 140000mcg of ozone. 10-Pass ozone is a safe, unique, highly potent, and intensive type of ozone therapy that has widespread actions in the body tissues and is more effective at helping our body systems eliminate pathogens.

The most potent method of autohemotherapy is the 10-pass/multi-pass Major Autohemotherapy treatment the benefits of which may include strengthening the immune system, stimulating white blood cells, preventing infections and potentially helping the body fight off harmful infections- fungi, bacteria and viruses such as Influenza, Rotavirus, Herpes Viruses, Viral hepatitis, Lyme disease. In addition, ozone delivered through the 10-pass/multi-pass Major Autohemotherapy treatment may help red blood cells to transport oxygen and improve circulation and general cell function.

Due to its multiple benefits, there are many health applications for 10-pass/multi-pass Major Autohemotherapy treatment including helping the body to cope with many chronic and acute health conditions such as autoimmune disorders, breathing disorders, diabetes and, chronic fatigue syndrome.

Local ozone injections

Local ozone injection therapy involves ozone gas being injected locally, around the site of injury or inflammation.

Localised ozone injection therapy is usually the method of preference in localised injuries and inflammations such as acute joint injuries and inflammation, sprains, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome.

Subcutaneous injection

Subcutaneous ozone therapy involves ozone gas being injected under the skin through hypodermic needles. This method is usually applied in several aesthetic dysfunctions such as cellulite, localised fat reduction, rejuvenation and tissue flaccidity, stretch marks, acne vulgaris, scars and dyschromia.

Topical application of ozone gas

Topical application of ozone gas or “Bagging” refers to the method of introducing topical ozone gas directly to an affected area of the skin (on an hand, arm, leg, foot, torso, pelvis). The affected area is usually covered with a plastic bag which is filled with ozone gas through a small opening. Ozone Bagging may be a very effective modality as an adjunct to help supplement treatment for skin conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers, burns, bed sores, bacterial skin infections, wounds healing, gangrene, Tinea versicolor, Onychomycosis (fungal nail infection), Athlete’s foot.

Topical ozone gas – sauna (wellness)

Ozone Sauna is a technology that infuses trioxygen through steam and hot air into the skin and body in a special cabin to promote healing, rejuvenation and relaxation. Ozone Sauna may be used as an adjunct to boost the human body functions by:

Topical application as ozonated oil

Ozonated oils are produced using an ozone generator and bubbling ozone gas into a natural oil for a specified duration of time. Ozone oil represent a possible therapeutic alternative in promoting skin healing, relieve from skin burns, prevention of post-lesion hyperpigmentation and reducing the pain of aphthous ulcers.

Infusion of ozonated water

Ozonated water is made by continuously bubbling ozone gas into purified water. It is a complementary alternative treatment to digestive tract disorders including inflammations and infections of the mouth, stomach and intestines, irritable bowel syndrome, gut flora imbalance.
