Detailed Product Description

Autohemotherapy (Tumor/Cancer/Vascular disease)

Autohemotherapy is the process of bringing small quantities of blood into contact with ozone. This ozone therapy is performed each year on several hundred thousand patients around the world. The medical ozone used in this therapy is an O₂/O₃ mixture with a low ozone concentration. The Medical Ozone Devices used to produce this mixture are incredibly precise.

Autohemotherapy is typically performed in one of two ways. The standard technique is to withdraw 150-250 ml of blood and expose it to an O₂/O₃ mixture at a specified ozone concentration, followed by intravenous reinfusion of this blood into the patient. We also have the option of running an extracorporeal loop to ozonate all of the patients blood. This second technique involves automatically running the blood through a continuous recirculating device which mixes ozone and blood in a closed loop before reinfusing it.

The results from two very recent studies proved the safety and effectiveness of the ozonation of blood in humans. No significant changes in blood chemistry or other parameters were found. The patients felt no particular sensations during treatment. The treatment session was followed by a feeling of well-being and euphoria, lasting several hours. Most importantly, there was a total lack of side effects. The authors conclude that blood ozonation is clinically valid, without side effects and that there are at least four areas , namely infectious diseases, vascular disorders, degenerative diseases (particularly metastatic cancer), and pathologies related to immune depression, where this treatment could be useful when orthodox therapies have failed .

Lumber Disk Treatment

It is a novel treatment, which could be considered as natural medicine, however it has to be applied by an specialized doctor. The pioneers in the use of this treatment are the Italian spinal surgeons, who have demonstrated its effectiveness in thousands of patients and have conducted multicentric studies to prove

it.

The results are comparable to those of surgery, good in 80% of the patients, with the advantage that it is done ambulatory (the patient goes home the same day), with local anesthesia and practically without any pain. This procedure can also be used in the herniated cervical disks. It has the advantage over the that it can be used very effectively in extruded disks.

External Applications

Infected Wounds

This category of wound has, by definition, not yet reached the status of chronicity due to a combination of circulatory compromise and infective onslaughts. In fact, this category of wound may simply be post-surgical, and only potentially prone to infection.

The use of topical ozone therapy in these cases may be solely preventive, and aimed at improving circulation on one hand, and inhibiting the proliferation of potentially infective organisms on the other.

Poorly Healing Wounds

Wounds which heal in an indolent manner are frustratingly difficult to master. Some of these wounds, are apt to regress, thus encouraging therapeutic strategies to become more aggressive, even experimental, but not necessarily effective.

Generally speaking, poorly healing wounds owe their definition by the chronicity of their healing, which is most commonly caused by the types and mixed variety of offending organisms they harbor.

Decubitus Ulcers

This common condition arises when a patient stays in bed, or in a wheelchair, in one position for a prolonged period of time. The pressure exerted upon the skin contact points compresses the dermal arterioles preventing proper perfusion of tissues. This leads to the oxygen starvation of tissues, impaired skin resilience, then to eventual breakdown of the skin itself. An ulcer develops, which may become quite large and usually infected with a spectrum of pathogenic organisms. At times the breakdown is so severe and the denudation of skin tissues so complete that the bottom of the ulcer reaches the bone and osteomyelitis begins.

The treatment of decubitus ulcers requires a multidisciplinary approach, including surgical, topical, and mechanico-physiological interventions. Topical antibiotics often fail to penetrate the wound and not infrequently cause secondary dermatitis in their own right.

Aside from the benefits of topical ozone therapy enunciated, it should be mentioned that an added therapeutic feature of ozone, especially as it relates to the treatment of deep ulcers, is its capability to penetrate to deeper tissue level, thereby affecting pathogens which would normally be protected by tissue overlay.

Circulatory Disorders

This extremely common class of disorders have one common denominator, namely impaired circulation to tissues via compromise of vascular patency and integrity. A prototypic disease showing this phenomenon is diabetes. Diabetes is a complex disease which manifests both vascular disturbances to many organ systems (i.e. retina, kidney, peripheral nerves), and, in addition, disturbances to carbohydrate metabolism.

In cases where diabetes affects the peripheral circulation, tissues such as the epidermis and dermis become vascularly compromised, and thus are more prone to injuries and recalcitrant infections.

Diabetic ulcers frequently develop following simple abrasions, contusions, and lacerations. These ulcers, not unlike decubitus ulcers, are notoriously difficult to treat, and are apt to be chronically treated with topical creams and ointments, which can only address the viability of a minor proportion of putative infectious organisms. These organisms may easily develop resistance to these therapeutic agents. Concurrently, pathogens resistant to these therapies continue to proliferate and to aggravate the condition.

Ozone topical therapy, applied serially, offers the opportunity to inactivate most, if not all, offending pathogens, thus stopping the vicious cycle of infection, thus leading to ulcer healing and cicatrization. In addition, circulatory stimulation, brings essential nutritional and immunological aids to healing.

Lymphatic Diseases

The lymphatic system is essential for proper fluid equilibration within the body, and most importantly for adequate defense against infections.

Lymphedema is a condition caused by blockage to lymphatic drainage. It may be secondary to trauma, surgical procedures, and infections (i.e. streptococcal cellulitis, filiriasis, lymphogranuloma venereum).

Increasingly common is lymphedema resulting from surgical removal of lymph nodes following surgery for breast cancer. The affected arm in these patients is likely to be chronically swollen, and exercises are often prescribed to develop collateral circulation. Most importantly, however, is the occurrence of infections following even minor injuries to the arm. Injuries are then much more apt to become infected due to the absence of lymphatic system defenses. In these cases intensive topical wound care is resorted to and systemic antibiotic treatment is often prescribed.

Topical ozone treatment applied as soon as injury is noted in the affected hand or arm may prevent secondary infection, lymphedema, and the use of topical and/or systemic antibiotics.

Fungal Skin Infections

Bruns

It is in cases marked by significant tissue injury, and especially in cases involving infections, that topical ozone therapy finds the most usefulness. In the case of burns, the range of pathogenic organisms may be extremely wide (see the section on poorly healing wounds), and thus may be ideally suited for ozone therapy.
