HOW DOES OZONE -
OXYGEN THERAPY WORK?
- Inactivation of bacteria,
viruses, fungi, yeast and protozoa: Ozone disrupts
the integrity of the bacterial cell envelope through
oxidation of the phospholipids and lipoproteins. In
fungi, ozone inhibits cell growth at certain stages.
With viruses, the ozone damages the viral capsid and
upsets the reproductive cycle by disrupting the
virus-to-cell contact with peroxidation. The weak
enzyme coatings on cells which make them vulnerable to
invasion by viruses make them susceptible to oxidation
and elimination from the body, which then replaces
them with healthy cells.
- Enhancement of circulation:
In circulatory disease, a clumping of red blood cells
hinders blood flow through the small capillaries and
decreases oxygen absorption due to reduced surface
area. Ozone reduces or eliminates clumping and red
cell flexibility is restored, along with oxygen
carrying ability. 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 the blood vessels.
- Stimulation of oxygen
metabolism: Ozone causes an increase in the red
blood cell glycolysis rate. This leads to the
stimulation of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) which
leads to an increase in the amount of oxygen released
to the tissues. Ozone activates the Krebs cycle by
enhancing oxidative carboxylation of pyruvate,
stimulating production of ATP. Ozone also causes a
significant reduction in NADH and helps to oxidize
cytochrome C. 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. Production of
prostacyline, a vasodilator, is also induced by ozone.
- Formation of peroxides:
Ozone reacts with the unsaturated fatty acids of the
lipid layer in cellular membranes, forming hydro
peroxides. There is a synergistic effect with
cellular-formed H2O2. Lipid peroxidation products
include alkoxyl and peroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen,
ozonides, carbonides, carbonyls, alkanes and alkenes.
- Dissolution of malignant
tumors: Ozone inhibits tumor metabolism. In
addition, ozone oxidizes the outer lipid layer of
malignant cells and destroys them through cell lysis
(break-down). Phagocytes produce H2O2 and hydroxyl to
kill bacteria and viruses. The generation of hydroxyl
by killer cells is critical to their cytotoxic
capability. Ozone stimulates conversion of arginine to
citrulline, nitrite and nitrate by phagocytes,
promoting their action on tumors.
- Activation of the immune
system: Ozone administered at a concentration of
between 30 and 55 ug/cc causes the greatest increase
in the production of interferon and the greatest
output of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and
interleukin-2. The production of interleukin-2
launches an entire cascade of subsequent immunological
reactions.
