• Inactivates viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc: Disease-causing germs don't have a protective enzyme layer. Ozone can therefore penetrate the germ cells, oxidate them (destroy the cell membrane through oxidation) and inhibit cell growth.

  Stimulates the immune system: O3 causes an increase in red blood cells which means that more O2 is released in tissue cells.
• Cleans blood vessels.
• Improves blood flow: O3 reduces clumping of red blood cells so that the oxygen-carrying capacity of cells improves and red blood cells flow more easily through the veins.
• Cleans blood and lymph: O3 oxidises toxins in blood so that it can be broken down. The application of O3 to donor blood can prevent the transmission of hepatitis, Aids, syphilis and other infections. It has been used in Germany since 1950 to sterilise donor blood.
• Normalises hormone and enzyme production.
• Stops bleeding.
• Prevents shock and damage as a result of a stroke.
• Reduces cardiac arrhythmia.
• Improves brain function and memory.
• Chelates heavy metals.
• Prevents and reverses degenerative illnesses.
• Prevents and treats transmittable illnesses.
• Prevents and eliminates auto-immune illnesses.
• Treats cancer: O3 inhibits the metabolism of cancer cells in order that the cell membrane is broken down. It also stimulates the working of phagocytes (killer cells which have to break down cancer cells). Ozone helps the body to heal itself. It is still important for the immune system to function.

The use of ozone in dentistry
Ozone is being used more and more often in dentistry because there is minimal invasion and patient compliance is good. Some of its uses include:

• Reduction of further demineralisation through bacterial by-products
• Reduction of nutrients necessary for bacterial recolonisation
• Promotion of rapid remineralisation and caries arrest
