What is ozone?

A Latin word, “ozone” means “smelling”. As we
know it, ozone is a gas which is formed by conversion of O2 to O3 by UVB rays
in the upper layers of atmosphere. It is a heavy gas and has a unique smell.
Ozone was first defined in late 1800s by Christian Friedrich Schönbein, a
German Chemist. Ozone is used for surface cleaning, water cleaning, sanitation
and kills viruses and bacteria. Ozone cannot be taken by inhalation because it
is toxic if inhaled. It can only be applied as a cream which is produced with
olive oil. If mixed with other oils, it flames up. Or it may directly be
injected into a muscle or a joint. There is also another method called “major chemotherapy”.
In this method, the patient’s blood is transferred to a vacuum bottle where it
is enriched with ozone and administered back to the patient. Also, there are
treatment methods called “bag therapy” to treat foot lesions called
“diabetic foot” and extremity lesions, which are applied by keeping the
extremity in a special ozone-oxygen mixture.

What are the effects of ozone?

Ozone has primarily three effects: It invokes local
healing factors like wound healing, tissue repair and keeping the tissue alive.
There is interleukin 1 and interleukin 2 substances which we can describe as
SMS sent by a cell infected by a virus to the adjacent cells. By secreting
these substances, it enables overnight healing in diseases like genital herpes,
oral herpes, and zoster. First and foremost, it can normalize the number of
ATPs which we call mitochondria and which cannot be produced due to insufficient
oxygen in the powerhouse of the cell, i.e. basic energy molecules of the body.

People living indoors live with low oxygen. This is one
of the reasons of chronic tiredness. In other words, we work with poor fuel.
Ozone is as good for your body as when your doorbell is rung and a man comes
with a big bag full of dollars and leaves it on the table. It tidies up and
repairs the body.

Oxygen insufficiency causes release of free radicals in
the cells. These free radicals, just like cannon balls destroy cell walls, DNAs
and cause devastation in the cells. Ozone captures free radicals, and cell
ageing is significantly slowing down and normalizes.
