Ozone is a colorless, pungent, unstable molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms found in nature. In other words, it is a gas.
The ancient Greeks used the name "zein", meaning the breath of God.
Its beneficial effects have been known since ancient times. The ozone gas we use in treatment is called "MEDICAL OZONE". It contains 5% oxygen and 5% ozone gas.
It is an important oxidant found in gaseous form in nature.
It is a very strong disinfectant.
It is antimicrobial.
Treatments using ozone gas are called OZONE THERAPY.
EFFECTS OF OZONE
Living beings need energy and oxygen to live. They obtain this energy from the food they consume. Oxygen is abundant in the air we breathe. Living things that cannot get enough food and oxygen cannot continue their existence and die.
While we continue our normal life, some chemical events occur in the tissues while obtaining energy from the food we consume. As a result of these chemical reactions, waste products are formed. These waste and toxic substances formed in the body are called FREE RADICALS. To make an analogy, just as the rust on the iron, that is, oxidation, rots the iron over time, these poisonous, in other words OXIDANT SUBSTANCES, formed in our body, cause the human body to age, get sick and eventually die.
The human body does not remain idle during this time. These waste materials are tried to be eliminated by the body. The system responsible for this task is called ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEM. Well; Under normal conditions, the body has the power to clean as many oxidants as it forms. However, this system does not always work so well. Two events cause waste materials to accumulate in our body.
As I explained, free radicals can occur within the body or can be taken from outside. Taking in more oxidant substances than our body's cleaning capacity,
As the body ages and as a result of aging, our body's ability to eliminate waste substances, that is, its ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY decreases
For these two reasons, toxic substances (free radicals) in the body. ) One starts to pump. The result is aging and diseases.
OZONE EFFECTS ON THE ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEM, CAUSES THE STRENGTHENING OF THE ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEM. This is one of its important effects.
In addition to this;
It regulates enzymes and hormones secreted in the body. It increases the amount of enzymes that act as antioxidants.
Ozone; increases the oxygen carrying capacity of erythrocytes in the blood. It also increases the elasticity of erythrocytes. As a result, it becomes easier for erythrocytes to enter the tissues. The amount of blood circulating in the vessels, called microcirculation, which plays an important role in the nutrition of the tissues, increases.
It is effective on the immune system, that is, the immune system of our body. With ozone, it is possible to suppress the immune system in some diseases (such as allergies) or to strengthen the immune system to increase our body resistance. Ozone increases energy production in cells. We call this the DOPING effect. Thus, people feel better and more energetic. This has very positive effects on human life.
Ozone increases blood production.
Ozone is a blood thinner. It reduces blood clotting. It prevents the formation of clogs in the vessels.
Ozone ensures the secretion of NO (Nitric acid) in the blood. Nitric acid regulates the cell structure and rejuvenates the cells. They especially improve the structure of the vessels.
Ozone regulates blood sugar. Since it allows sugar to pass into the cell, blood sugar level decreases. It causes a decrease in hemoglobin levels, calledHbA1C, which is used in monitoring diabetic patients.
Ozone also has effects on the respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, kidneys, gynecological diseases, and eye diseases. It also has positive effects on skin diseases.
MECHANISM OF EFFECT OF MEDICAL OZONE
The use of ozone in a wide range of diseases and successful results generally result in good clinical experiences. It has prompted the environment to think more about the mechanism of action of this molecule.
Although some of the studies on the mechanism of action have been completed, some are still waiting for explanation.
- Ozone, which is a high oxidant. How can it be an antioxidant at the same time?
- Is this possible?
- If possible, on what mechanisms can it be an antioxidant?
- This is the basic question we need to answer.
- Parkinson's disease
- Alzheimer's disease
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS) disease
- Fibromyalgia (Soft tissue rheumatism )
- Migraine
- Stroke (Paralysis) disease
- 100-day treatment of Advanced Lumbar Herniation
- Behcet's disease
- Vision loss, Night blindness
- Hearing loss
- Vertigo (Dizziness)
The ones who spend the most effort and documentation on this issue are Russian physicians and scientists. However, the honor of the work on the use of medical ozone in western standards and the creation of a common language goes to physiologist Prof. Dr. from the University of Siena. It belongs to Vello Bocci and German biologist Renete Viebahn. Dr.V.Bocci especially studied the cytokines as a result of major ozone application and published his results.
USE OF MEDICAL OZONE WITH MEDICAL LEECH
If medical ozone is applied together with leech therapy, leech It increases the healing effect.
A cure, normally 12 sessions, reduces the Medical Leech Treatment to 10 sessions. It also reduces the number of cures to be made.
Leech and ozone therapy are like twin brothers. For these reasons, ozone and leech therapy should be applied together unless there is a contrary situation.
Some of the diseases in which leeches and ozone are used successfully together are;
