Services: Ozone Therapy

What is Ozone?

The air we breathe contains the normal oxygen molecule, which is composed of two joined oxygen atoms. Ozone is composed of three joined oxygen atoms. Think of ozone as super-charged oxygen.
Ozone, cytokines and the immune system.

Ozone acts on the membranes of our white blood cells. This interaction prompts these cells to produce chemical messenger molecules called cytokines.

Cytokines tell your immune cells to fight invading pathogens that cause illness and disease.  However, overproduction of cytokines reverses this good effect, and can lead to excess inflammation and auto-immune diseases.

Ozone and Blood Flow

Ozone in the bloodstream improves blood flow. The science reveals that when ozone is present, more of the oxygen-carrying hemoglobin molecules reach our capillaries. These delicate, tiny blood vessels deliver blood,
nutrients and oxygen to cells throughout the body. As ozone improves circulation, our cells receive more of
the oxygen they need to function well.

Mitochondria and Cellular Health

Mitochondria are a part of each cell in our bodies. These act as little powerhouses, breaking
down nutrients and generating energy-rich molecules for our cells. Ozone is a powerful mitochondrial stimulant. Many degenerative diseases take hold when mitochondrial energy production is low.

How important is healthy mitochondria? Here’s a high-level list of mitochondrial functions:

• Modulate calcium uptake to stay within healthy limits.
• Regulate the enzymes that produce cellular energy. When cells need more energy, mitochondria meet the demand with calcium ions.
• Sensors for cell health, mitochondria phase out cells when calcium levels become toxic.
• Regulate the immune system to protect the body from pathogens and foreign substances.

Medicine to Therapy

Single Pass Infusion (aka MAH: Major Auto-Hemotherapy)

—a process which feels about like giving a blood donation—is one of the most common ways to administer ozone.  The infusion takes about one hour.

The Process:

Your practitioner will:

1. Remove six to 12 ounces of blood into an IV bag. (The same process as donating
   blood.)
2. Inject ozone into the bag with a syringe and shake the bag gently.  This makes it possible for your red and white cells to take up the ozone.
3. Reverse the infusion and the ozonated blood returns to your body.

EBOO/F (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygen & Ozone/Filtration Therapy)

• EBOO Is the most advanced ozone treatment available in the world today, detoxing several liters of blood in one session with a fresh, continuous flow of ozone.
• With this technique, the patient’s blood is first drawn from a suitable vein through the use of a medical pump. This blood is ozonated and then it is returned into the body, through an additional vein. This process continues over a 1 hour time period, with 1.8 to 3 liters of blood being filtered and enriched with ozone before being returned to the body. The power of EBOO lies in both the ozonation and filtration processes, the only dual ozonation and filtration process that exists in the world today.

Is Ozone Therapy for Me?

Simple answer is, yes!  But, ozone is not a panacea nor meant to function as a solo therapy.  Rather, integrative medicine combines ozone therapy with an individualized program of nutrition & gut health, body movement, hormones, neurotransmitters, and detoxification resulting in significantly improved outcomes across many different conditions and ailments.

These multiple therapeutic properties make ozone therapy an important element in the treatment plan for many diseases.  Meet with Dr. Seth Lambert, DO to see if this treatment is for you!
