What if it had been successfully used for over 70 years all over the world? What if there were hundreds of medical papers written about it? What if there were thousands of doctors, clinics and hospitals worldwide using this therapy everyday? What if hundreds of thousands of patients with AIDS, Hepatitis C, Arthritis ,Herpes, MS and a host of many other diseases used this therapy with success? You would have heard about it, right? Well, guess what? There is such a therapy but because of the blackout in the news you may not know it exists and you don’t know it works safely? WHY? $$$$ IT IS LOW COST $$$$ $$$$ IT IS NOT PATENTABLE $$$$ THUS, NO MONEY IN IT FOR THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES! FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL! When ozone enters the body it acts like “glue” to toxins, toxic metals and harmful free radicles allowing the body to remove them. Simply, being electron deficient, it steals an electron from bacteria, virus, fungus, yeast and mold cells destroying them. Organisms cannot mutate into a strain that cannot be destroyed. Cuts through bio-film. It has many benefits to the blood and circulation and energy production. In concentrations of 50-55mcg’s (gamma) it causes the greatest increase in production of alpha and beta interferon; interleukin-2,6,7,8 and TNF What does ozone do?

Agrillo A, Petrucci MT, Tedaldi M, Mustazza MC, Marino SM, Gallucci C, Iannetti G. Department of Maxillo-Facial Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza," Policlinico Umberto I, Rome, Italy. An analysis of the international medical literature shows that surgical treatment of the necrotic jaws in patients treated with bisphosphonates has proven to be ineffective in stopping the pathological process. The use of hyperbaric oxygen and antibiotics are not effective, either. The authors have developed a new protocol for the management of these lesions. Compared with other therapeutic choices, this protocol has introduced the use of ozone therapy as therapeutic support. Int J Artif Organs. 2005 Oct;28(10):1039-50.

The case Department of Physiology, University of Siena, via Moro 2, 53100, Siena, Ital Ozone is a very reactive gas that is toxic to the respiratory system. However, under controlled conditions, it can be therapeutically useful in several human diseases. An unfavourable combination of factors (ozone is one of the worst troposphere pollutants) and past misuse have led to misgivings about ozonetherapy. However, basic and clinical work developed over the past 10 years has clarified the fundamental mechanisms of action of ozone in biology and medicine. Interestingly, judicious doses of ozone dissolved in blood trigger a cascade of well-defined chemical compounds acting on multiple cellular targets according to well-known molecular, biochemical and pharmacological pathways. Ozonetherapy is proving to be very useful in agerelated macular degeneration, ischaemic and infectious diseases, and in wound healing disorders, where conventional medicine has failed. Critical evaluation of the potential therapeutic utility of this simple, inexpensive medical application by national and international health authorities is warranted and may lead to clinical benefit for a large proportion of the world's population. Mediators Inflamm. 2004 Feb;13(1):3-11. Ozone as Janus: this controversial gas can be either toxic or medically useful. Bocci V. Department of Physiology, University of Siena, Italy. Ozone is an intrinsically toxic gas and its hazardous employment has led to a poor consideration of ozone therapy. The aim of this review is to indicate that a wrong dogma and several misconceptions thwart progress: in reality, properly performed ozone therapy, carried out by expert physicians, can be very useful when orthodox medicine appears inadequate. The unbelievable versatility of ozone therapy is due to the cascade of ozone-derived compounds able to act on several targets leading to a multifactorial correction of a pathological state. During the past decade, contrary to all expectations, it has been demonstrated that the judicious application of ozone in chronic infectious diseases, vasculopathies, orthopedics and even dentistry has yielded such striking results that it is deplorable that the medical establishment continues to ignore ozone therapy Aging As people age, their bodies bodies extract oxygen and transport it to cells LESS efficiently. The cumulative effect of this lack of O2 is: • A decrease in the flow of nutrients to the cells Impairment of creation of necessary cell energy Impairment of necessary cellular chemical reactions Cells die prematurely Appearance of disease • • • • Aging By inactivating and/or destroying all viruses, bacteria, fungus, yeast and mold By eliminating all harmful free radicals By eliminating all toxic metals By destroying all tumors By increasing oxygenation of cells and creating necessary cellular energy Anti-Aging Benefits: Reduces “STRESS” on the Body Clumping of Red Blood cells is reduced or eliminated Increase flexibility of Red Blood cells Makes Red Blood cells rounder Increases Oxygen carrying ability Oxygenation of tissues increases as the arterial partial pressure increases Viscosity of blood decreases Oxidizes the plaque in arteries Anti-Aging Benefits: Benefits to Circulation Causes increase in Red Blood cell glycolysis rate leading to stimulation of 2,3diphosphoglycerate This shifts the oxyhemoglobin disassociation curve to the right Which leads to increase in amount of O2 released to cells Anti-Aging Benefits: Stimulates O2 Metabolism • • Ozone stimulates the production of antioxidant enzymes: Glutathione peroxidase, Superoxide desmutase, Catalase and Reductase which: Protect healthy cells from damage by ozone Acts as free radical scavengers reducing stress Ozone activates the Krebs Cycle by enhancing oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate thus stimulating production of ATP’s Anti-Aging Benefits: Cell protection and Energy production Ozone reacts with polyunsaturated fatty acids of the lipid layer in cellular membranes forming various peroxides (ROS’s) Lipid Peroxidation: One of the two main processes whereby one mole of Ozone and one mole of an olefin (particularly arachidonic acid present in plasma triglycerides) create one mole of H2O2 and two moles of aldehyde (Pryor et. al., 1995) This creates a number of different aldheydes known as Lipid Oxidation Products (LOP’s) Most of Ozone’s reactions/benefits are due to the ROS’s and LOP’s which are created instantly as ozone dissolves in the lymph in blood FORMATION OF ROS’S and LOP’s Cells need energy to stay alive and perform their purpose Healthy cells make energy via the Krebs Cycle They need oxygen and nutrients to make energy They need a delivery system to bring it They need a waste removal system “OZONE’S BENFITS DELIVERS ALL OF THE ABOVE EXTENDING CELL LIFE AND FUNCTION THUS RETARDING THE AGING PROCESS!” Why this is so Important to Anti-Aging Aging is a necessary process. The “trick” is to GROW OLD AND BE WELL and to be able to function on a high level. THIS IS WHAT CAREFULLY PERFORMED OZONE THERAPY CAN HELP DELIVER! When you combine the cleansing, detoxification and immune boosting benefits of Intravenous Ozone Therapy, along with a program of healthy cardiovascular exercise and healthy nutrition, it is possible to significantly slow the aging process.
