Information for patients What is Ozone ? What is Ozone Therapy ? In what diseases is ozone therapy usually applied ? What should I know as a patient ? Ozone fingerprint Where can I obtain information ? What is Ozone ?      Ozone is a chemical compound consisting of three oxygen atoms O3 (ie triatomic oxygen), a highly energetic form of normal (diatomic) atmospheric oxygen (O2). Thus, the molecules of these two forms are different in structure, ie:      At room temperature, O3 is a colorless gas with a characteristic odor (eg after thunderstorms, at high altitudes or near the sea etc). Its name is from the Greek ozein (ozein) meaning “to smell”, and it was discovered in 1840 by the German chemist Christian Friedrich Schönbein (1799-1868). Closer to ground level it can occur in the form of smog at concentrations of 1 part O3 per 10 million parts air (= 0.1 ppm = 200 µg/m³); at a height of 2,000 meters (or 6,561.6 feet), however, it is m...

Oxygen and cancer. Dunn T. Abstract Tumor hypoxia results from multiple pathophysiologic interactions. Abnormalities in tumor vessel structure and function lead to decreased oxygen delivery relative to normal tissue. Furthermore, a relatively high rate of tumor cell proliferation increases oxygen consumption by tumor tissue. The net result of decreased oxygen supply and increased oxygen demand is hypoxia. Hypoxia makes tumors resistant to radiation and some chemotherapy, and it induces expression o...

Bel ağrısında ozon tedavisi Ağırlıklı olarak major otohematorapi amaçlı kullanılan medikal ozonun lokal uygulamalarına olan tıbbi ilgi gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Artan bu ilgi literatürde yayımlanan randomize çalışmaların sayısı ile de paralellik göstermektedir. Alanının saygın dergisi Spine’da (Tübitak A grubu) yayımlanan yeni bir klinik çalışma etkileyici sonuçlar ortaya koydu (Intramuscular Oxygen-Ozone Therapy in the Treatment of Acute Back Pain With Lumbar Disc Herniation A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Clinical Trial of Active and Simulated Lumbar Paravertebral Injection; SPINE, 2009: 34 (13); 1337–1344). Disk hernisine bağlı akut bel ağrısı şikayeti ile başvuran 60 hasta üzerinde yapılan bu çift-kör çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre paravertebral bölgeye intramusküler olarak uygulanan ozon-oksijen enjeksiyonlarının hastaların %61’inde ağrıyı tamamen geçirdiği rapor edilmiştir. Anti-inflamatuar ilaçların verildiği kontrol grubunda iyileşme oranı %33’te kalmıştır. İntradis...

Ozon tedavisi ile zayıflama        Ozon tedavisi pek çok hastalıkta yararlı sonuçlar doğuran, yüzyılı aşkın süredir bilinen ve kullanılan yardımcı bir tedavi yöntemidir. Bu tedavi ile insan vücuduna hiçbir ilaç verilmez; vücutta mevcut mekanizmalar güçlü bir şekilde uyarılır. Ozon tedavisi ile elde uyarılan mekanizmalara göz atıldığında, vücuttan yağ kaybının artırılması ve selülitlerin ortadan kalkması gibi yararlar elde edilebileceği açıktır. Ancak hiç kimse sadece ozon tedavisi alarak kilolarından kurtulamaz. Kurtulamaz çünkü gerçek anlamda yağ kaybetmek için harcanan kalori miktarından daha az kalori almak gerekir. Bu basit ancak temel mantık ile rahatlıkla kilo verebilirsiniz. Pekiyi bu kurala uymak kolay mıdır? Tabii ki değildir; öyle olsaydı kilo vermek bu kadar büyük bir toplumsal sorun haline gelmezdi. Hemen her gün internette yayına başlayan yeni siteler ne oldukları, hangi mekanizma ile zayıflattıkları hatta içinde ne olduğu bile bilinmeyen ...

Ozone Therapy on Cerebral Blood Flow: A Preliminary Report Bernardino Clavo1,2,7, Luis Catalá3,7, Juan L. Pérez2,4,7, Victor Rodríguez5 and Francisco Robaina2,6,7 Departments of 1Radiation Oncology and 2Research Unit, 3Radiology, 4Medical Physics and 6Chronic Pain Unit, Dr Negrín Hospital, 5La Paterna Medical Center and 7Canary Islands Institute for Cancer Research (ICIC), Las Palmas (Canary Islands), Spain Ozone therapy is currently being used in the treatment of ischemic disorders, but the underlying mechanisms that result in successful treatment are not well known. This study assesses the effect of ozone therapy on the blood flow in the middle cerebral and common carotid arteries. Seven subjects were recruited for the therapy that was performed by transfusing ozone-enriched autologous blood on 3 alternate days over 1 week. Blood flow quantification in the common carotid artery (n 14) was performed using color Doppler. Systolic and diastolic velocities in the middle cerebral artery...

What is Brain Cancer?      The brain and spinal column make up the central nervous system (CNS), where all vital functions of the body are controlled. When tumors arise in the central nervous system, they are especially problematic because a persons thought processes and movements can be affected. These tumors can also be difficult to treat because the tissues surrounding a tumor that may be affected by surgery or radiation may play a vital role in functioning.      There are two broad types of cancers occurring within this system. Primary tumors originate in the central nervous system, whereas secondary tumors migrate from cancers located elsewhere in the body, such as breast cancers. Secondary, or metastatic, brain tumors, are more common than primary brain cancers. This section focuses on primary brain cancers. What is the brain?      Together, the brain and spinal cord form the central nervous system. This complex syst...
