Inactivation of bacteria, viruses,
fungi, yeasts and protozoa
Ozone has been shown to destroy the outer shell of
most micro-organisms, thereby penetrating the cell membrane and
altering the DNA. Sophisticated organisms such as human cells
have enzymes that can restabilise disrupted DNA, whereas
primitive organisms do not have this protective capability. This
is another mechanism by which ozone selectively targets disease
causing micro-organisms, and spares healthy cells. Repeated
treatments of ozone therapy are usually needed, because certain
viruses and fungi are more susceptible at certain stages of
their development. Some micro-organisms are much more resistant
than others, and will require more treatment. The viruses that
contain lipids are more sensitive to deactivation by ozone –
Herpes, Mumps, Measles, Influenza, Rabies, HIV and the Chronic
Fatigue producing viruses: Epstein Barr, Coxsackie and
Cytomegalovirus.
Stimulation of oxygen metabolism
Ozone causes increased metabolism inside the red blood
cells [increased 2,3-DPG], which releases more oxygen to the
tissues. Ozone also stimulates the production of enzymes, which
act as cell wall protectors and scavengers of free radicals. It
enhances energy production in the cells by complex biochemical
reactions.
Formation of Peroxides
When ozone is introduced into the body, it is broken
down into free radical agents called peroxides. These have
beneficial effects because they are attracted to weakened or
diseased cells and react with lipids [fats] in the cell
membrane. The enzymes in the healthy, intact cell wall prevent
penetration by these peroxides. Thus the peroxides in ozone
selectively attack only those cells which contain parasites,
viruses etc, or are weakened by cancer or toxins.
Enhancement of circulation
In circulatory disease, a clumping of red blood cells
hinders blood flow through the small capillaries and decreases
oxygen uptake by the red blood cells due to reduced surface
area. Ozone reduces or eliminates clumping, and restores
flexibility thereby increasing oxygen carrying capacity.
Improved viscosity of the blood also leads to better oxygenation
of the tissues.
Ozone oxidises the plaque in arteries, which unclogs and frees
up the circulation. A vasodilator, Prostacycline, is also
produced by ozone, which dilates the arteries.
Dissolution of tumours
Ozone inhibits cancer cell metabolism. In addition,
ozone oxidises the outer lipid layer of cancer cells, thus
destroying them.
Activation of the immune system
Optimal administration of medical ozone causes an
increase in the production of interferon and interleukins, which
launch an entire cascade of immunological reactions.
Effect on medicines
The potency of any medicine taken concurrently with
ozone treatment is greatly increased. The unpleasant side
effects of toxic, but necessary, medications such as
chemotherapy can be greatly minimised by ozone therapy.
