Ozone Therapy Treatments
Ozone (O3) is three molecules of oxygen combined together. This combination of oxygen molecules becomes a potent healing molecule that can be put to great medical effect, and is entirely safe, completely non-toxic, and easy to use. Ozone therapy is perhaps technically best described as a low potency homeopathic treatment that stimulates and stabilizes rather than suppressing biological functions. Another way of saying that is ozone therapy itself does not produce the healing effect. Meaning, it induces the body’s innate healing mechanisms to create the healing effect. Thus, unlike medications, it can be successfully used in essentially every medical condition regardless of the diagnosis, including chronic and acute bacterial and viral infections, auto-immune diseases, cancer, arthritis, infectious disease, inflammatory diseases, chronic and acute pain, life extension, and cardiovascular disease.
That is not to say that ozone is a panacea for all disease; however, ozone is able to safely and easily initiate a series of reactions in biological systems that can be very valuable when used in conjunction with other synergistic treatment therapies, and has been put to such use by medical providers across the world since at least 1900, when Nikola Tesla founded the Tesla Ozone Company that manufactured the world’s first medical ozone generators.
I'm excited to offer patients several forms of medical ozone therapy, including what gets referred to as MAH (major auto hemotherapy), which is basically an ozone IV, as well as EBOO (extracorporeal blood ozonation and oxidation), the most effective and advanced form of ozone therapy available in the world today.
FREQUENCY OF TREATMENTS
IV TREATMENTS (MAH, EBOO)
Frequency of treatments depends on the illness and the severity of symptoms. Ozone is a naturally occurring substance and helps the body repair in a natural manner. Ozone therapy is best described as a walk and not a sprint. It is best to think of Ozone therapy is a process. Those who have seen the greatest benefit have needed several treatments. Getting on top of the symptoms is always the hardest part. Ozone therapy affects everybody differently and improvement is usually noted in the first 4 to 6 treatments. This being said, the more treatments you do in the beginning, the faster the symptoms will be controlled.
Initially, the treatments are most effective when received once or twice a week until the symptoms are controlled for the entire week. After the symptoms are under control, the frequency of treatments reduce according to how your body responds. Once the symptoms are maintained for the entire week, treatments are reduced to every other week to once a month with the eventual goal to be getting a treatment every 4 to 6 months for maintenance. Ozone is not a permanent cure or a miracle. It is a process. As our cells continually deteriorate with aging and time, you may notice the symptoms return. At this point, your body may require a boost.
For some this frequency of treatments may be not possible due to time or financial reasons. If so, we can proceed with a protocol that works for you. It may take more time to resolve the symptoms. However, even getting a treatment once a month is better than doing none.
INSUFFLATIONS:
Insufflations are best done at least weekly but treatments can be done 3-5 times a week for increased control of symptoms.
LIMB BAGGING/CUPPING:
Depending on the severity of the wound, treatments are usually done 3 times per week to promote quick healing. The treatments can be done once a week, but more treatments promote increased healing time. This treatment is augmented by use of Ozone Oil topically to the wound.
DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENTS
MAJOR AUTOHEMOTHERAPY (MAH):
This procedure is similar to Ozonated Saline but instead of saline, we use your blood. It only requires one IV and uses about 300ml of blood (which is less than a person would typically give when donating blood). Once the 300 ml has moved from your body to the bag, Oxygen/Ozone is infused directly into the bag of blood. It is then infused back into your body. This procedure is approximately 30% more effective than the ozonated saline because of the initial interaction with the blood before it re-enters the body. With the Major Autohemotherapy, all the ozone is being absorbed into the red and white blood cells in the bag before it ever enters your bloodstream giving you the full effect and 100% of the ozone. This treatment is commonly coupled with some form of IV nutrient therapy. Your practitioner will determine the additional therapy needed.):
SINUS INSUFFLATION:
Ozone is filtered through a specialized oil and then inhaled through the nostrils through a nasal cannula. The Ozone helps the white blood cells to produce antibodies to address infections or allergies of the nasal passage ways. Sinus insufflation also helps to decrease inflammation and pressure in the sinus cavity that is a culprit with acute or chronic sinusitis, acute upper respiratory infections, asthma, bronchitis, etc.
EAR INSUFFLATION:
During ear insufflation, ozone gas mix is slowly introduced into the ears via a modified stethoscope. The ear canal produces a waxy / oily substance which allows the lipophilic ozone to penetrate and saturate the outer and middle ear, as well as passive diffusion to brain circulation. Ear insufflations are used to help with brain fog, ear infections, tinnitus and vertigo.
RECTAL INSUFFLATION:
As the name suggests, Rectal Insufflation refers to introducing ozone into the body through the rectum. 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. This method can be used for multiple disease processes from colon related conditions to chronic autoimmune conditions. Rectal Insufflation is useful in the colon as well as being absorbed into the bloodstream and is up to 90% as effective as Ozonated saline. This is an ideal method for the patient that has a needle aversion, to help augment the IV treatments and for those where IV is too costly. During rectal insufflations, a mix of ozone/oxygen is introduced through a catheter into the colon. It is an oxygen gas enema. The ozone helps remove inflammation and kills pathogens like bacteria, viruses, parasites and yeast. It can help restore healthy gut flora.
BLADDER INSUFFLATION:
In Bladder insufflation, a catheter is introduced into the bladder. It drains the bladder. A homeopathic anti-inflammatory solution is injected then the catheter is removed. After 20 minutes, the catheter is reinserted and ozone is injected. Bladder Insufflation can be used to treat Interstitial Cystitis, chronic bladder infections, chronic Prostatitis, post-surgical or post chemo bladder problems, chronic urethral infections, fungal (yeast) infections affecting the urethra and bladder.
VAGINAL INSUFFLATION:
We perform vaginal insufflations by infusing ozone gas into the vagina with the use of a catheter. The ozone gas will usually find its way into the uterus, out the fallopian tube, and into the abdominal cavity. This treatment is used for female related issues such as PMS, endometriosis, candida, fibroids, etc. It can also address issues such as abdominal concerns or chronic fatigue due to ozone's ability to diffuse into the abdomen and blood stream.
LIMB BAGGING/CUPPING:
During ozone Limb Bagging, Funneling or Cupping, the ozone stream is focused onto a smaller area of the skin and allows for a concentrated ozone treatment of that area. Ozone helps trigger the white blood cells to produce antibodies to fight infection as well as decontaminate and disinfect the area directly. Limb-bagging introduces topical ozone gas directly to an affected area of the skin. A limb, such as an arm or leg, is covered with a plastic bag which is filled with ozone gas through a small opening in the bag. This application is helpful in the treatment of many types skin related conditions such as infections, burns, diabetic ulcers, onychomycosis (fungal nail infection), athlete’s foot, etc. It is usually coupled with Ozonated Oil topically as well.
NAEL DAGSTANI
Dr. Nael Dagstani offers medical ozone therapy at Wellspring Restorative Health, in Lake Havasu, AZ. This form of super-oxygen therapy is used to treat many health conditions, as it kills bacteria and viruses, reduces inflammation, and boosts circulation, to name just a few of the potential benefits gained from ozone therapy.
