Oxygen Therapies
Why did we stop doing Ozone, photolume, and other
oxygen therapies?
Our doctor team has decided to drop some
of our interventional natural medicine procedures. Many factors went in
to making this decision. Caring Medical remains an innovative interventional
natural medicine clinic where we look at treating the root cause of a person’s
problem. Instead of using ozone therapy or photolume, we will now be offering
a new array of intravenous protocols and metabolic testing that we have
found to be even more successful than some of these other therapies. For
example, when you balance your body chemistry, including your blood pH
and improve your circulation and nutrient levels, you can improve your
health, and actually eliminate the need for medications in certain cases.
If you are interested in a consultation with one of our doctors to develop
a new protocol for you, we’d be happy to set up a free consultation
for you with one of them. |
WHAT
ARE OXYGEN THERAPIES?
Oxygen Therapies
could generally be considered anything that is used therapeutically
to help increase the oxygen content of the body. This includes
diaphragmatic breathing (deep breathing), excerise, proper nutrition,
chelation therapy or any other therapy that helps thin the blood
and increase circulation. More specifically when health oriented
people talk about Oxygen Therapies they are speaking specifically
about Hydrogen Peroxide and Ozone.
WHAT
ARE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND OZONE?
Oxygen in
the air is 2 molecules of Oxygen hooked together and has the chemical
symbol H202. Ozone in the air is 3 molecules of Oxygen hooked together
and has the chemical symbol 03.
WHY
IS OXYGEN SO IMPORTANT? The human
body is sometimes called an "oxygen factory". Oxygen
is important because it is the fuel the cells in our body use to
function. In essence, it is the "food" for our cells.
If there is enough oxygen around, our cells, organs, and tissues
have plenty of "food" and most likely will function properly.
Without oxygen, the cells, organs, and tissues of our body die.
If they go for more than a few minutes without oxygen, irreversible
damage occurs. This is why heart attacks and strokes are so devastating.
They cause irreversible damage because of the lack of oxygen to
the heart and brain.
ARE
OXYGENATION AND OXIDATION THE SAME THING?
They are
not the same thing but depend on one another. Oxygenation refers
to the amount of oxygen in the blood. Oxidation refers to the chemical
process whereby electrons are either lost or gained. A good example
of oxidation is a fire starting (fast oxidation) or your nice shiny
red car turning dull (slow oxidation). Oxidation is the primary
process used by the body to gain energy. When we eat healthy food
our body uses oxygen and a process called oxidative phosphorylation
to turn the food into energy. This is why oxygenation and oxidation
are dependent on one another. The body uses oxygen not only to
produce energy but also to oxidize invading bacteria, viruses,
fungi, toxins, and other harmful organisms and chemicals, to keep
our bodies healthy.
HOW
DO HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND OZONE WORK?
A number
of substances are known to cause oxidation in the body but one
of the most important of these is Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide,
when exposed to blood or other body fluids containing the enzyme
catalase, is split into oxygen and water. This is why Hydrogen
Peroxide foams when you put it on a wound. The foam you see is
oxygen. Ozone by a similar process forms ozinides and peroxides
when exposed t the same tissues.
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
AND/OR OZONE CAN DO THE FOLLOWING:
- Increase
the oxygen content of the blood
- Increase the
energy producing ability of the cells
- Increase elimination
of toxins
- Detoxify chemicals
- Destroy bacteria,
fungi, and viruses
- Increase immunity
- Help destroy
cancer cells
Hydrogen Peroxide
and Ozone are potentially useful in the following conditions:
- Herpes
- Hepatitis
- Chronic Fatigue
- Arthritis,
adjunctive conditions
- HIV, systemic
- Cancer, adjunctive
conditions
- Poor circulation
- Heart Disease
- Post-Stroke
- Allergies
- Infections
- Chronic Sinusitis
- Bronchitis
- Emphysema
- Rheumatoid
Arthritis, adjunctive conditions
- Lupus
- Diabetes
- Multiple Chemical
Sensitivity
- Chronic Pain
…and other
degenerative conditions
IS
OZONE BAD FOR YOU?
Ozone has
sometimes had a bad reputation because of misinformation or misunderstandings
in regard to the "Ozone layer" and Ozone reports on the
weather channel. Ozone should not be inhaled above a certain concentration
because it can be irritating to the lungs. This is one of the reasons
Ozone levels are reported during weather reports. Unfortunately,
many people don’t realize the potentially significant health
benefits from Ozone. Ozone’s health benefits are being utilized
around the world, but unfortunately relatively infrequently in
the United States. An example of this is in water purification.
Look at the list of foreign cities that purify their water supply
with Ozone: Moscow, Montreal, Singapore, Helsinki, Minsk, Essen,
Brussels, Florence, Amsterdam and a host of others. Contrast that
to only one city that does it in the United States-Los Angeles.
The reason these cities purify their water with Ozone is because
it is so effective in killing harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi,
yet quite safe to humans.
HOW
IS HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND OZONE THERAPY GIVEN?
Hydrogen
Peroxide is given by an intravenous infusion. Generally 500cc of
fluid is given over a 2 to 3-hour period. Ozone Therapy can be
given by any of the following methods: rectal, bladder, vaginal,
or ear insufflation, subcutaneous injection, or direct venous push.
The two most common ways of administering Ozone by natural medicine
physicians are by minor and major autohemotherapy. In minor autohemotherapy
about 10cc’s of a person’s blood is mixed with a similar
amount of Ozone. This mixture is then given intramuscularly in
the buttocks region. In major autohemotherapy 50 to 250cc’s
of blood is then mixed with a similar amount of Ozone. The Ozone
blood mixture is then transfused back to the person.
HOW
OFTEN IS THE THERAPY GIVEN?
Most people
with chromic conditions receive Hydrogen Peroxide or Ozone Therapy.
Therapy weekly. Physicians usually give between 5 to 20 treatments.
The frequency and amount of treatments will depend upon the medical
condition involved.
ARE
THERE ANY HARMFUL SIDE EFFECTS TO HYDROGEN PEROXIDE OR OZONE
THERAPY?
In one European
study involving over 5.5 million Ozone treatments, the side effects
rate was .0007% probably among the lowest of any therapy known.
Ozone is generally contraindicated for Ozone allergy, Glucose-6-Phosphate
dehydrogenase deficiency, hyperthyroidism, and pregnancy. In
people with a Hyperactive airway, i.e. asthma, the treatments are
generally
given more slowly. No deaths from intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide
administration or major autohemotherapy have been reported. DOES
INSURANCE PAY FOR HYDROGEN PEROXIDE OR OZONE THERAPY?
Currently,
insurance companies do not recognize natural medicine techniques
like Hydrogen Peroxide or Ozone Therapy and thus it is not covered
by insurance.
HOW
CAN A PHYSICIAN LEARN ABOUT OXYGEN THERAPIES?
There are
approximately 10,000 Ozone therapists in Germany, and only a handful
in the United States, Ross A. Hauser, M.D., is one of the few American
Physicians who has traveled to Germany to learn the technique.
Dr. Hauser has studied and worked with the President of the German
Ozone Society, Gerd Wasser, M.D., in Duisberg, Germany. Dr. Hauser
also attends various seminars around the country on this topic.
