What is Medical Ozone Therapy?
Medical Ozone Therapy is the use of ozone in medicine. Ozone is used openly in medicine around the world, mainly in Europe, Asia, and South America. It is also gaining a foothold in North America. It is mind boggling how many different uses ozone has in the field of medicine, from disinfecting and healing external wounds, burns, and rashes, boosting of the immune system, to the successful treatment or control of internal systemic diseases of all kinds, from the common cold and flu through to chronic degenerative diseases that can scare, and disable us all.

Ozone therapy has been utilized and heavily studied for more than a century. Its effects are proven, consistent, safe and without side effects. Why is it not more universal in its use?

Medical ozone, used to disinfect and treat disease, has been around for over 150 years. Used to treat infections, wounds, and multiple diseases, ozone’s effectiveness has been well documented. Ozone has been used to disinfect drinking water since before the turn of the last century. A text on medical ozone therapy was published by Dr. Charles J. Kenworth in 1885! The best technology for producing ozone gas was designed and built by Nikola Tesla in the 1920’s. Heads of leading medical institutions in the U.S. contributed to a 1929 book “Ozone and Its Therapeutic Actions” describing the treatment of 114 diseases using ozone.

In 1933, the AMA began its systematic suppression of all modalities of treatment that did not complement its liaison with the emerging pharmacologic and diagnostic industries. Ozone therapy, along with many other useful therapies, were methodically eliminated from the educational process and exposure to the public in the U.S.

Less suppression has occurred in Europe and other countries, especially in Russia. Today in Germany, and other countries, ozone therapy is commonplace. Over 7000 doctors in Germany use it daily. In fact, in Germany, ozone generators are in ambulances for treatment of stroke victims. The incidence of permanent paralysis in these patients is much less than that in similar patients where ozone is not used. Ozone generators are relatively simple and inexpensive. 

PLEASE NOTE: I HAVE HAD NO MEDICAL TRAINING AND AM JUST FORWARDING THIS INFORMATION.  PLEASE SEEK THE ADVICE OF AN OZONE TRAINED SPECIALIST FOR SPECIFIC PROTOCOLS.*

 1/ Ozone is AntiAging (some of those AntiAging effects can be attributed to the following list of actions...)
2/ Ozone Increases Oxygenation of your Cells (it has been proven that cancer and disease grow in poorly oxygenated tissues in your body).
3/ Ozone Modulcates your Immune System (for those with a weakened immune system, Ozone will boost the immune system. For those with Auto-Immune Disorders, Ozone will modulate the immune system to help to stop it from attacking healthy human cells.)
4/ Ozone Increases Energy Production in your Cells (your cells need energy to be healthy; low energy levels mean that you andyour cells will not be healthy and will age)
5/ Ozone Increases the Activity of your "Anti-Oxidant Enzyme Systems". This means ozone will reduce the oxidation levels of your body.
6/ Ozone Reduces the level of acidity of your body (never mind the Alkaline Water...use Ozone!)
7/ Ozone kills Bacteria, Viruses (and virtually all other disease causing organisms) on contact
8/ Ozone Kills Cancer cells on contact

Longevity Resources makes the only AAO approved equipment for at home use.  It is medical grade, and unlike any other equipment available in N. America, ALL of its parts are made here in N. America, (not in China).  It is a huge red flag when a company does not carry an ETL safety inspection.

The EXT50

A kit with all you see above*, along with stethescope, RI bundle and extra tubing accessories has been arranged by Longevity Resources for $2121 including shipping.  Just use this link or ask for the  "ozone for wellness" kit when ordering:

file:///C:/Users/robin/Downloads/Invoice%20Ozone%20For%20Wellness%20Quick%20Order%20Form%20(9).pdf

*travel case not included

 The treatments you can do at home require less than 50 gamma so this model (55 gamma) is more than sufficient.*

*Persons with serious skin conditions may want to consider the next model up....the EXT-120T to make a stronger form of topical oil.  However, the process of making the oils is quite time consuming.  Keep in mind for the cost difference and the effort required, you may find like me, it makes more sense to save the extra money; you can always buy ozonated oil.)

THE IMPORTANCE OF ETL APPROVED EQUIPMENT:

In response to the many inquiries I get regarding equipment recommendations by those considering an at home protocol: While I realize that most are on a budget, and naturally want to find the most affordable option when looking at equipment, I caution you strongly to read this before making a purchase, and check that your equipment is safety inspected! I am hearing of problems with those that have purchased equipment that is not AAO approved and without ETL inspection approval. I have interviewed many doctors, and ozone equipment suppliers regarding this, and thus far have found the only manufacturer in N. America that is AOO and ETL compliant to be Longevity Resources. I am merely forwarding this information for the benefit of everyones' safety and well being.

NO ETL APPROVAL = RED FLAG! Please just be safe! Unsafe equipment can be dangerous and can make you sick!

PLEASE NOTE : ANY ozone generating equipment used for therapeutic purposes MUST use medical grade oxygen as it's feed source. If not, it will in all probability generate Nitric Acid as well as other toxic by-products and this will be detrimental to your health and recovery.

In addition to that, MEDICAL GRADE OZONE GENERATORS are constructed entirely of ozone resistant materials which again ensures that there are no toxic by-products in the final ozone product caused by the oxidation of the internal parts of the equipment. This toxicity can outweigh the benefits of the therapy.

ETL Approved:
The ozone generator industry is unregulated has more than its share of "home made" products on the market. If the products you are about to purchase has no seal of safety or quality, if the factory has never been inspected by anyone.you have no assurance that the product you are about to purchase is quality at all. It is likely home made in a garage or basement!

The ETL Logo is your proof of Quality, Safety, and professional manufacturing our ozone generators. You don't have to blindly accept anyone's word that their Ozone Generators are quality and professionally produced. You can think of the ETL Inspectors as your eyes into their operation. They have placed their seal of quality and safety on these products because they have inspected both the products and the factory.

What does "ETL Approved" mean?
ETL Approval is an internationally recognized seal of Quality, Safety, and Professional Manufacturing.

It is only granted to companies after rigorous inspections and testing of the product.
The product is taken from the company and completely disassembled. All components and the way that they have been assembled (right down to the wires) are inspected and compared to Canadian and US regulations.
If the product passes, the factory is then inspected for professionalism and to ensure that quality controls are in place. These quality controls in the factory ensure that every single instrument is the same high quality as the last one that was produced.
In order to keep the ETL Approval, Intensive Factory surprise inspections take place 4 times per year. If the factory does not pass, the ETL Approval is revoked.

If you are considering a product with no ETL, CSA, UL, or CE Approval, then you may wish to consider this: no quality or safety approval, means no ongoing inspections of product or factory. The only way to ensure you are buying a quality product is to purchase only quality and safety approved products.

I just saw this comment online regarding purchasing ozone equipment for at home use.  This comment spoke to me, as I have had this discussion before regarding the necessity of ETL inspection and good quality equipment.  It has been highly recommended by every doctor I have spoken to without exception, to be extremely careful when buying equipment.  As far as I know, there is only one brand that is AAO approved and that is Longevity.  I know some who have purchased elsewhere, but still too soon to determine what, if any, issues they may come up against.  It is my understanding that it is extremely important to know the exact ozone concentration you are delivering.  Here is the comment I found:

Since you own a Synergy Labs machine, I'm very much interested in your opinion on the machine. There is very little information on the internet about this machine and user opinions are few to come by. I have contacted John, the maker of the machine, but he does not appear to be very technical.

The single biggest question I have is the control of its output ozone concentration. There is no calibration chart of any kind available for this machine, even from John himself. He does not seem to be very concerned with this aspect of the machine, but this surprises me because it is the one parameter that most protocols are quite specific about.

As well, since the machine is not professionally certified, I have some doubts on what it claims. I would be a lot more comfortable about what is claimed about a machine if it is independently verified by a third-party, but such is not the case.


The most effective method is rectal insufflation which requires 46 gamma. 
 Click the link below for my YouTube video on rectal insufflation : 
https://m.youtube.com/?rdm=1lvd2s3sh&client=mv-google#/watch?v=c-4CVJv9uK0

As the name suggests, “Rectal Insufflation” refers to introducing ozone into the body through the rectum. If you are new to ozone, this sounds like a very strange thing to do. However, oxygen (O2) has been infused rectally during surgery for years, due to the fact that oxygen is easily absorbed through the walls of the colon. The same is true for ozone (O3). Rectal Ozone Insufflation is performed regularly in clinics worldwide, and can also be performed in the home. There are many advantages to using Rectal Ozone Insufflation over all other ozone administration methods:

1/ Ozone experts around the world* believe that Rectal Ozone Insufflation is "95% as effective as Major Autohemotherapy", which is the most accepted ‘blood’ method of introducing ozone into the body. (*Renate Viebahn (Germany), Dr. Robert Rowen (USA), Dr. Frank Shallenberger MD (USA), Silvia Menendez (Cuba).
2/ Rectal insufflation is painless and a minimally invasive way to use ozone in your home that is just as effective as the blood methods but requires no needles, no syringes, no discomfort.
3/ Rectal Insufflation requires only 2 to 4 minutes of your time whereas the Major Autohemotherapy (the blood method) requires up to 40 minutes to complete.
4/ Rectal Insufflation can be performed by the average ‘home owner’ and eliminates the need of the patient to constantly visit the physician. (It is highly recommended that you seek the guidance and professional care of an Ozone Doctor, who can assess your situation, prescribe suitable therapies, and monitor your condition as you take part in the prescribed therapies).

Here is the stethoscope which comes with our group package.

Auricular Insufflations:

Many individuals have found it beneficial to irrigate the ear canal with the ozone / oxygen mixture from a medical ozone generator. As with every use of ozone for medical purposes the individual must ensure: the purity of the oxygen supply, that all parts of the ozone generator in contact with the gas stream are ozone resistant (eg. kynar, Teflon, glass, silicone), and that they know the ozone output (concentration of the ozone) of the ozone generator. This is extremely important - too little ozone and there will be no effect; too much ozone and there can be irritation to the ear canal.

The patient may first apply a small amount of water to the ear canal to assist in the absorption of the ozone. The ozone must be humidified by bubbling the gas through water. The usual concentration used for this protocol is 15ug/ml - 30ug/ml. The flow rate used is usually ¼ Litre per minute or perhaps 1/8 LPM.

The output tube of the ozone generator is held up to the entrance of the ear. At no time should the tube come into proximity of the eyes, nose, or mouth. Doing so may cause discomfort. At no time should the output tube be placed inside the ear, or sealed into the entrance way of the ear.
The ozone should be allowed to flow into the ear and out of the ear. Each ear is usually treated for 2-5 minutes per treatment.

Treatment schedule depends on the disease of the patient, and the effect on each individual patient. This therapy should not be performed more than once per day, and in most cases is performed 2-3 times per week.

Patients should individually modify the treatment protocol depending on their reaction. If any discomfort, redness, or "chapping" occurs, it is suggested that the patient increase the length of time between treatments, and decrease the ozone concentration coming from the ozone generator.

Many physicians have indicated that the ozone enters the lymphatic and blood system this way. Many patients have reported a wide variety of results including relief of allergies, relief of colds, clearing of sore throats and swollen glands.

The only thing I got elsewhere was a full body bag ($55) for whole body ozone treatments.

Body Suit or Bag

One of the easiest and most pleasurable of the methods of using ozone, the body suit is both effective and relaxing. The ozone is absorbed through the skin, cleansing the lymphatic system, and reportedly inducing the body wide effects of ozone generally seen with other treatment protocols.

The patient first opens the pores of the skin by taking a warm/hot shower, after which they immediately enter the body suit.
The body suit must be sealed at the ankles and wrists to reduce leaking. Usually a towel is wrapped around the neck to increase comfort and to reduce leaking around the neck. If necessary, a fan may be used to gently blow any leaking ozone away from the individual. The ozone generator is set to produce a concentration of 25 - 35ug/ml at a flow rate of 1/4LPM.
The ozone must be humidified (run through water) and is introduced into the body suit.

The patient remains in the body suit for 15 - 40 minutes ( one usually starts with a 15 minute treatment and the treatment time remains that or is gradually increased depending on the desire and comfort of the individual during and after treatments). Treatment is usually individualized depending on the individual effects of the treatments and the desired effect, be it in treatment of a disease, or for general health. Individuals should be encouraged to use their own bodies and common sense as an indication of whether treatment times and concentrations should be increased or lowered. This treatment is usually performed 2-3 times per week, and never more than once per day.

Longevity Resources has the suit, but I prefer a bag from previous experience.  A dear friend of mine was given months to live, had 3 different kinds of cancer and cured himself with ozone. I used his machine and found the bag very relaxing to just climb into (like a sleeping bag) and lie down while ozone flooded my body.  

The many diseases ozone can treat:  http://falconblanco.com/health/ozone/uses.htm

Other methods of administering ozone:

vaginal insufflation

A vaginal cannula is used to introduce the ozone gas to the patient. Unlike Rectal Insufflation, there is no danger of pressure buildup. The ozone concentration used is usually 25-30ug/ml, and the flow rate is usually 1/4LPM (litres per minute) or 1/8LPM. Treatment time is usually 5 - 15 minutes. The patient may lower the ozone concentration, and the duration of the treatment if any discomfort occurs. This treatment should not be performed more than once per day, and is usually only performed 2-3 times per week.

Many women have reported relief from yeast infections and various sexually transmitted diseases including herpes. Many women also use this method as an alternative to rectal insufflation as it is theorized that the ozone not only affects the pelvic region, but also enters the general circulation causing a body wide effect.

Women must not use this method close to, or during the time of menstruation as ozone at these concentrations increases blood flow.

Bagging

"Bagging" with ozone refers to the method of isolating a body part by surrounding it with a bag (such as hand, arm, leg, foot, torso, pelvis, but NEVER head), and introducing ozone. This can be used to treat gangrene, diabetic foot ulcers, bed sores, burns, any wounds that are infected or slow healing, or those that refuse to heal. This method is not intended to generate an immune modulating effect on the individual as in the methods above.

The bag is placed around or over the affected area, the output tube from the ozone generator placed through the top of the bag, and the top sealed as effectively as possible. Ozone at the desired concentration must first be humidified (simply bubbled through water) and then enters the bag; the ozone generator constantly runs during this treatment. Treatment times vary depending on the type of wounds being treated but typically range from 10 - 30 minutes. As leaking will occur from the bag it is suggested that this process occurs in a well ventilated area. After the treatment the bag will still contain a high concentration of ozone, irritating to the lungs, nose, and eyes if it escapes from the bag. This is usually disposed of in a safe manner. (In European medical clinics, a specially designed bag is used to ensure no leaking occurs, and after treatment the ozone is sucked from the bag by a vacuum pump so neither the patient, nor the attendant ever breathes in the ozone).

In this method the ozone kills any bacteria, viruses, fungus, or molds infecting the open wound, increase blood flow to the wound, and stimulates the healing process. It has been documented that many a body part has been spared amputation through the application of ozone in this method.

High concentrations of ozone applied through bagging (60ug/ml - 90ug/ml) tend to have a sterilization effect on the wound, but if used for prolonged periods will have a negative effect on healing. Mid range ozone concentrations (30-40 ug/ml) will have a healing effect on the wounds. Therefore the protocol as suggested by German researchers is to begin with the infected wound at 75-90ug/ml for the sterilizing effect, and as the treatments begin to clear the wound of infection, to gradually drop the concentration towards 35ug/ml. This gradual drop in the concentration will maintain the sterility of the wound, and stimulate healing. Individual differences in this protocol are taken into account by watching the effect of the ozone on the wound, and the rate at which it closes.

Major Autohemotherapy

This procedure is performed only by trained professionals, usually only in a clinic setting. Major Autohemotherapy is the preferred method of many practitioners, and it is used in well over 150 diseases. In Germany, even the ambulances are equipped with ozone generators; if ozone is administered within 24 hours of a stroke, 95% of patients suffer no permanent paralysis.

The Major Autohemotherapy protocol obviously requires medical grade ozone with no contaminants. Ozone generators that produce ozone from 'air' should never be used for this protocol, even if they have been fitted with an oxygen tank. Only ozone generators designed to produce pure medical ozone should be used. This protocol requires standard blood administration equipment, such as a Blood Administration Set (transfusion line), butterfly needles, evacuated container (or empty saline bag), heparin, calcium, and 60 cc syringes. The procedure involves the removal of approximately 125 to 200cc of the patients blood. This blood is withdrawn into the evacuated bottle or into an empty saline bag. The bottle (or bag) is then hung upside down, and ozone gas (the same volume as the blood withdrawn) is infused into the blood. But at what concentration?

Professor Velio Bocci of Italy can be accredited with being a major influence in the world of ozone in that he has been researching ozone for over 30 years at the University of Sienna. His research has shown that greatest immune system stimulation (activation) effects occur when the ozone is introduced into the blood at a concentration of 78 ug/ml. His detailed research has displayed that this concentration of 78 ug/ml illicites the maximum cytokine production from the white blood cells. These cytokines enter the body when the blood is reintroduced to the patient, and in turn stimulate other white blood cells within the body to also release cytokines, inducing an immunostimulating effect that spreads through the body like a chain reaction. While lower concentrations of ozone can be used for Major Autohemotherapy, Bocci's research clearly showed that cytokine production is maximized when the ozone is bubbled through the blood at 78 ug/ml..

In this procedure the trained professional constantly monitors the patient, and ensures the purity of the ozone gas, and the sterility of all equipment used. For the trained professional, this treatment is actually quite easy, and very safe for the patient.

• Direct IV infusion – Ozone slowly administered into a major vessel.
• Minor autohemotherapy – Blood mixed with ozone is injected intramuscularly. 
• Limb or body bagging – Body or parts are bathed in humidified ozone. 
• Ozonated water – Dissolves easily in water to be used topically or consumed. 
• Ozone in Saline or LRS – Can be used topically or given IV or SQ. 
• Intra-articular administration – For joint healing and prolotherapy. 
• Prolo/Sclerotherapy – Very good, less painful than other agents. 

• Acupuncture – With ozone, more effective than B12. 
• Ozonated olive oil – Ozone is bubbled through oil until the oil is thickened. This will produce ozonides that are not irritating and thus is applied topically even to eyes. 
• Inhalation – Ozone that has been bubbled through olive oil and humidified will not irritate respiratory epithelium. 
• Subconjunctival injection – For ulcers and keratitis sicca. 
• Gingival and tooth apex injection – Can eliminate infection. 
• Urinary bladder insufflation – For chronic inflammation. 
• Disc protrusions – Prolotherapy, which can be injected at interspinous space and around facets, stabilize joints and accelerate healing.

• As an anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial, and ant fungal agent, ozone is unsurpassed, especially since there are no appreciable side effects.  Oxygen deficit is key to the development and progression of all disease processes. Dr. Otto Warburg’s work, confirmed by others, shows that this deficit and subsequent toxin buildup is the fundamental cause of all degenerative disease, especially cancers.  Antioxidants help the body to protect itself from excessive oxidative damage caused by multiple free radicals, many of which are inactivated by ozone. The support of free radical scavenging systems is important but only oxygen can improve the deficit that makes cells vulnerable to oxidative damage in the first place. Long-term ozone therapy can be augmented by supplementation with antioxidants, but normally they should not be administered within 4 to 12 hours of ozone therapies.  Ozone produces the same effects as exercise, which produces significantly more free radical oxygen than can be administered in any ozone treatment. Ozone equals ”exercise in a syringe” without doing joint damage.  Ozone potentiates more complete oxidation, helps to maintain more normal body temperature and increases the effects of most hormones, vitamins, herbs, homeopathics, and drugs. Concurrent ozone administration reduces the amount of chemotherapeutic drugs needed to achieve effect by 1⁄4 to 3⁄4. It complements chelation therapies and frequently improves the affect and sense of well being in patients.  Continued therapy will allow Herring’s Law to manifest “Healing from inside to outside, top to bottom, front to rear, and in reverse chronological order of the insults to the body.” Healing crises, however, may occur. Ozone therapy facilitates the rapid resolution of these crises. 

• 2005 Judith M. Shoemaker, DVM 

 Making 03 water : I have found that drinking ozone water daily has had an enormously positive affect on me and serves well as a maintenance protocol . Just bubble for 20 minutes per 500 mL . Make sure to use cold distilled or reverse osmosis water and drink on an empty stomach . Here's a pic of the set up :

The equipment used to handle ozone is:

• UV lamp – makes small amounts of ozone and is unreliable in making accurate 
  concentrations. They burn out easily. 
• Corona discharge – dual dielectric sealed systems produce ozone but also lots of 
  heat which is both destructive to ozone and to the machine. 
• Cold plasma generators – which produce ozone using low level current passed in 2 tubes of a noble gas between which an electrostatic plasma field forms that ionizes the oxygen. Ozone concentration is measured in u/ml or gms/L of oxygen, 5% or 70 u/ml is usually the maximum concentration used in clinical medical applications. High concentrations will damage red cells and inhibit growth of healthy cells. Dosage and frequency protocols vary widely. Initial high dose treatments may “jumpstart” the immune system followed by lower doses. Those who are fearful have been “starting slow and going low” with dosage and still have good results. Concentration must be carefully controlled with accurate flow rates, requiring pediatric regulators for the needed slow flow rates to produce high concentrations. Therefore, home made machines and lesser quality nonmedical devices are not appropriate.  Ozone poteniates free radical scavenging substances and systems in the body, inducing the production of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. If ozone administration causes any respiratory irritation from out-gassing through the lungs, a bolus dose of 1 to 5 grams of vitamin C can be given and will eliminate any coughing instantly.  Oxygen/ozone mixtures cannot cause emboli when injected at reasonable rates as they dissolve and diffuse very quickly in body fluids, unlike air (predominantly nitrogen) which is what forms emboli and causes the bends or decompression disease. The physiologic actions of ozone are many, the simplest of which is to provide sufficient oxygen to allow complete oxidation of sugars and other fuels to produce sufficient and efficient energy and to “burn clean” to CO2, water, and inert end products. If not enough oxygen is available, then incomplete oxidation occurs, producing carbon monoxide, lactic acid, and partially oxidized toxins that inhibit further oxygen metabolism and “clog the system”, tying up hemoglobin, water, and the mechanisms for function and elimination.  

*While there are virtually NO side effects of ozone,  I have to state the above, and in doing so, release myself from any liability.
