Question Ozone treatment

Hi there,

Just want to find out if anyone has heard of ozone treatment and if so, does it work? I'll be getting a machine next week that apparantly takes the oxygen we breathe and turn it into ozone. According to the people selling this machine, it has cured many skin disorders.

Re: Ozone treatment

Seems like no-one has heard of this or tried it, so I'll keep you updated as soon as I started using the machine.

Re: Ozone treatment

This is a extract from an article on the web after some research. A friend of a friend reccomended it to me.

OZONE AND ITS USES IN MEDICAL THERAPY Ozone therapy is one of the most powerful and versatile therapies known today. Extensive medical research on ozone therapy has been done primarily in Europe. Through its mechanism of action, ozone has beneficial effects on every part of the body. The effects include:
1. Inactivation of bacteria, viruses and fungi: Ozone disrupts the intergrity of the cell envelope through peroxidation of the phospholipids and lipoproteins. In fungi, ozone inhibits cell growth at certain stages. With viruses, the ozone damages the viral capsid and disrupts the reproductive cycle by interrupting the virus-to-cell contact with peroxidation. Cells previously infected by viruses are more susceptible to destruction by the peroxide produced through ozonolysis, because they have weak enzyme coatings.

2. Enhancement of circulation: In circulatory disease, a clumping of red blood cells hinders blood flow and becreases oxygen absorption due to reduced surface area. There is a decrease in red blood cell flexibility which prevents them travelling down the tiniest capillaries, and blood viscosity increases. With ozone therapy, clumping is reduced or eliminated and flexibility is restored, along with oxygen carrying abiltiy. Oxygenation of the tissues increases as the arterial partial pressure increases, and viscosity decreases. Ozone also oxidizes the plaque in arteries allowing the removal of the breakdown products, unclogging vessels.

3. Stimulation of oxygen metabolism: Ozone causes an increase in the red blood cell glycolysis rate. This leads to the stimulation of 2.3-diphosphoglycerate which shifts the oxyhemoglobin disassociation curve to the right. This leads to an increase in the amount of oxygen released to the surrounding tissues. There is a stimulation of the production of the enzymes which act as free radical scavengers and cell wall protectors: glutathione peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase. Ozone activates the Krebs cycle by enhancing oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, stimulating production of ATP. Ozone also causes a significant reduction in HADH and helps oxidize cytochromes.

4. Dissolution of malignant tumors: Malignant cells have an increased rate of glycolysis which leads to the production of more lactate. With ozone therapy, there is a significant decrease in lactate production, showing that the metabolism is being inhibited Tumor cells have a peroxide intolerance due to insufficient peroxidase and catalase. Ozone is thus able to oxidize the outer lipid layer of malignant cells and destroy them through cell lysis.
5. Activation of the Immune system: Ozone stimulates the production of interferon and interleukin in the body. From this there is a cascade of subsequent immunological reactions.
6. Formation of peroxides: Ozone reacts with the unsaturated fatty acids of the lipid layer in celllular membranes, forming hydro peroxides. Lipid peroxidation products include peroxyl radicals, vital for killer cell action.
Oxygen plays a vital role in maintaining health in the body. Oxygen and sugar are the primary nutrients that each cell requires to generate energy for all its life functions. These functions include the transport of molecules, synthesis of all chemical compounds and mechanical work such as muscle contraction. Thousands of these reactions are occuring at all times. These reactions are what allow the heart to pump blood, the immune system to fight infection, the gastrointestinal tract to digest food, and the nervous system to process information.

Oxygen is also an important structural component of the organic compounds used by the body as essential nutrients, such as vitamins and fatty acids. Oxygen also has an important role in removing waste products from the system. As people age, their bodies extract oxygen and transport it to the cells less efficiently. The cumulative effect of this lack of oxygenation is a decrease in the flow of vital nutrients to the tissue, the impairment of the thousands of chemical reactions necessary and the subsequent appearance of deficiency diseases. Thus an abundance of oxygen creates health and well being and a deficiency of oxygen contributes to illness.

Re: Ozone treatment

i used to use an ozinator for horticultural reasons . i was told that you will get a headache if you breath it in for to long. it changes o2 into o3 [ it adds an extra molecule onto oxygen atoms] i dont think its to good for your health to be breathing it all the time. i never seen a difference in my skin wile using it in my garden.

Re: Ozone treatment

The machine i'm getting (2morrow) is for home medical use, specifically in the bath. It uses jets to circulate the o3 in the bath. So, apparantly my 'skin will be getting o3(ozone) instead of polluted o2(oxygen)'.

Re: Ozone treatment

Well, I never tried such a machine, but my sister had a lot of skin problems (not KP though) and when she moved to another city, her skin totally cleared up. She takes only baths. So, this could actually work...

Re: Ozone treatment

Yeah, just got the machine today. Will start using it tonight. This is going to be a very relaxing (and expensive) experiment to see if it works. I'll be using the machine for about a month without any OP or creams or such so that I can be sure if it's the machine doing it work or not. Wish me luck... PS the machine I bought costs around US$1312.50...

Re: Ozone treatment

wow thats expensive . well good luck!
im curious to know how the machine works. i bet its very simple and cheap to make.
im sure its simply an ultraviolet light that shines onto the water that is being pumped in and out of the bath via the jets. i wonder if it bubbles the water at all.
