MEDICAL OZONE
Ozone is Life
A body deprived of food will die in weeks.
A body deprived of water will die in days.
A body deprived of oxygen will die in minutes.
This is the foundation that supports the medical use of ozone. Ozone is a special type of oxygen. Rather than two oxygen molecules, ozone represents three oxygen molecules linked together. Ozone is unstable and converts quickly into the two molecule form of oxygen, releasing a single oxygen molecule in the process. Ozone therapy takes advantage of this naturally occurring process. When ozone gas is introduced into any part of the body, it hyper-oxygenates the region stimulating cellular regeneration. It also triggers the body to launch an anti-inflammatory response to the area, further enhancing its healing capacity.
Wherever tissue has been weakened by injury, age or disease, ozone can help. Tendons, ligaments, muscles, chronically arthritic joints can all improve by the gentle administration of ozone gas to the area. In addition to its regenerative potential, ozone is toxic toward bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It can help fight infections involving sinuses, skin, vagina and other areas. Ozone can also be supportive for people fighting cancer.
For healthy people interested in advanced antiaging, ozone gas can be charged into sterile saline and then infused intravenously. This has been shown to be supportive of immune function, and can help stimulate the body to make more of its own NAD which is a critical factor in antiaging.
Whether fighting infection, cancer, autoimmune illnesses or simply pursuing your highest level of antiaging health, the staff at Intellectual Medicine can direct you toward the highest and best use of ozone to meet your needs.
Muscles & Joints
Muscles and joints that are suffering from pain or injury have localized areas of inadequate oxygenation to cells. Injecting ozone into these areas can help cellular oxygenation thereby stimulating accelerated healing.
Ozone gas also produces a local tidal wave of antioxidants that neutralize free radicals further accelerating healing.
Ozone is not a pain medicine. It does not mask symptoms, it helps to heal tissue.
When used on a regular basis for arthritic joints the goal is to maintain a healthy joint and stop progressive joint damage. We recommend injections at regular intervals, most typically three months.
Our standard treatment protocol is to do an injection every two weeks for a series of 3 injections, and then reevaluate the impact of therapy.
Ozone for muscles and joints is injected by the doctor. Local anesthetic injections of lidocaine are sometimes used. Pain level of the injection is non-existent or mild, and resolves in minutes after the injection
Sinus Infections
Ozone kills bacteria, fungus, and viruses upon contact. Ozone gas can be insufflated into the sinuses while the patient holds their breath. This is our preferred approach to patients with upper respiratory
infections. Over 90% of upper respiratory infections are viral and therefore antibiotics have no value.
For acute infections this can be done every day until symptoms are alleviated. For chronic infections the recommended regimen is once a week for four weeks, then reevaluate and adjust the interval as needed.
Patients can get sinus ozone sinus treatments without seeing the doctor.
Sinus ozone can be given in conjunction with our usual immune support supplements, and infusions or quick shots.
Sinus ozone is administered by our specially trained nurses and takes less than 10 minutes.
Limb Bagging
- Diabetic ulcers
- Onychomycosis (fungal nail infection)
- Athlete’s foot
- Tinea versicolor
The procedure involves placing a plastic bag over the involved extremity. The bag is sealed allowing ozone gas to be pumped into the bag thus coming in contact with the skin.
The procedure is completely painless and is administered by specially trained nurses.
Ozone bagging can be performed without being seen by the doctor. The recommended frequency is weekly for four weeks, then adjusted based upon response.
In some cases of infections, more frequent bagging intervals can be performed.
Rectal Insufflation
Helpful for inflammatory bowel conditions, diverticulosis, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s, and colo-reactal cancer. Patients can be treated primarily without seeing the doctor.
Treatment is administered by a specially trained nurse in a private room. The process involves placing a small catheter a short distance into the rectum, then gently pushing in ozone gas. The procedure is painless and takes about 15 minutes. The protocol is to do insufflation every week for 4 weeks then reassess.
Ozonated Oil
This is a product for purchase that you can use at home. It has an olive oil base that has been infused with ozone. The olive oil stabilizes the ozone so it can last for months at room temperature.
This can be safely applied to any area of the skin that is inflamed or irritated.
It can be used on the gumline to treat gingivitis or receding gums.
It can be applied to the lips on a daily basis to prevent cold sores.
Ozone kills bacteria, fungus, and virions, therefore it can be used under the arms and other areas where skin meets skin as a deodorant. This is a wonderful replacement for traditional chemical underarm deodorants.
It can be used on thick irregular toenails that have been colonized with fungus. It should be applied once or twice daily to an uncoated nail. Diligence is required since resolution of this condition can take up to six months.
Ozone ointment can be applied onto joints and tendons that are strained and sore. Studies have demonstrated individuals using it for arthritic knees had an improvement when compared to placebo. In this setting the recommended frequency is twice daily for at least two weeks, then ongoing as needed. Visit the Online Shop today!
Ozonated IV Therapy
IV ozone or Salinated Ozone can stimulates the immune system, kill bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungi, improves the circulation of blood and oxygen throughout the body, decreases inflammation due to disease, injury, or illness, eliminates the body’s toxic load, and promotes overall health and wellness.
Vaginal Insufflation
This treatment is used for female related issues such as PMS, endometriosis, candida, fibroids, etc. It can also address issues such as abdominal concerns or chronic fatigue due to ozone’s ability to diffuse into the abdomen and blood stream. It’s a comfortable process and only takes 10 minutes.
Treatment is administered by a specially trained nurse in a private room. The process involves placing a small catheter a short distance into the rectum, then gently pushing in ozone gas. The procedure is painless and takes about 15 minutes. The protocol is to do insufflation every week for 4 weeks then reassess.
Ear Insufflation
This safe and effective form of ozone therapy uses medical-grade ozone gas which is introduced into the ear canal using a specialized tool.
- Kills pathogens found within the ear canal and sinuses
- Improves overall circulation throughout the body
- Decreases sinus inflammation or infection
- Reduces brain fog
- Provides relief from tinnitus, vertigo, and other related condition
- Ear Infections
- Tinnitus
- Vertigo
- Brain Fog
- Sinus Infections
- Ear Infections
- Allergies
- Sore Throat
- Common Colds
- Throat Infections
- Fungus or Mold Toxicity
- Other conditions affecting the ear canal or sinuses
Ozonated Water
Drinking ozonated water allows ozone to come into direct contact with the microflora of your gut, killing the harmful yeast and bacteria that could be responsible for bloating, digestive issues, weight gain, and even acne. Besides improving gut health, drinking ozonated water is also believed to reduce the inflammation processes in your body, which in turn could benefit people who suffer from inflammatory bowel syndrome, migraines, digestive issues, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammation-causing diseases. Ozonated water also boosts your immune system and makes your body more able to fight infections.
