What is ozone?
Ozone is a gas that has 3 oxygen molecules that are bound together to supercharge our mitochondrial function. Once the oxygen has entered the mitochondria, it enters the TCA (the citric acid) or Kreb’s cycle. The oxygen that is delivered donates an oxygen molecule to NADH to create NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and OH- (Hydrogen peroxide). There are 700 NAD+ needed to perform a cycle. Hydrogen peroxide is useful in our body for killing viruses, bacteria, and yeast.
Mitochondria are like the gas in a car; without it, the car doesn’t run. Giving the mitochondria oxygen makes the engine fire up and start working.
Why are we talking about ozone?
We have something called medical grade ozone that basically helps the body to heal.
How is ozone therapy given to my pet?
Ozone can be delivered in three different ways:
- Rectally in a gaseous form that is done within the matter of minutes.
- Intravenously - Blood is taken out of the body and then mixed with ozone to be re-administered to the patient. Generally higher amounts of ozone can be delivered in this manner.
- There is topical ozone that is administered directly to the skin of the body onto a wound.
What's the big deal with ozone, and how does it work?
Ozone basically goes into our bloodstream and then gets into our cells. Inside those cells, we have these things called mitochondria, which are the powerhouse of the cell. If you can imagine a car, inside of that car, we have the engine, and in the engine, we need gas. Basically, what ozone does is it gives the engine the gas it needs. This creates a lot of these things called NAD+, which help energize the cell. We're going to use those byproducts to increase the production inside of the cell cycles to create substances like hydrogen peroxide, which is a natural killer of viruses, bacteria, yeast, parasites—stuff that we don't want inside the body. Sometimes, we have medicine that just doesn't work anymore; we can have resistant organisms or problems where the medicine just isn't working. In such cases, we need to use ozone either in conjunction with or as its own entity to make the body healthy again. The goal of medicine is to make the body healthy.
What are the major benefits of ozone therapy?
Ozone detoxifies the body, increases energy levels, boosts the immune system by helping to kill off things that shouldn't be in our body, improves circulation to help reach areas where bacteria, fungus, parasites, or whatever might have been hiding in the body. It increases cellular processes, essentially making the cell healthier. If we make the cell healthier, we can make the body healthier. The direct effect of ozone is also to kill things that normally shouldn't be in the body. You can use ozone even as a monthly prevention of disease because it increases our cellular processes and helps the body to heal.
More About Ozone Therapy
Medical ozone (O3) is best described as a natural therapy that stimulates and stabilizes instead of suppressing biological functions.
Does my pet need ozone therapy?
Although modern medicine has greatly benefited both human and animal life, there are also ways in which it has greatly hampered overall health. There is more to healing than just prescribing medicine or cutting things out. Often medicines only mask symptoms and do little to treat the root causes. O3 works with the immune system, stimulating the body to “heal itself”, which is truly the ultimate and only real way to healing.
What is the purpose of using ozone therapy on my pet?
- As an antibiotic effective against viruses, bacteria, yeast and parasites.
- As an anti-inflammatory agent to promote healing in orthopedic conditions and autoimmune diseases.
- To stimulate the immune system and to boost immunity.
- To improve blood circulation, as more oxygen travels to your cells, tissues, and organs.
- As prevention to protect from invaders like bacteria, viruses and fungi by halting their growth and reducing their survival.
- Better oxygen utilization
- Mitochondrial Stimulation
- Pain Management
