Ozone Therapy and Therapeutical Considerations Part 1

This subject needs consideration both in the world of Alternative/Complimentary health as well as in the Medical mainstream. The crux of any therapy should be based on a certain set of diagnostic parameters and these need careful discussion and consideration before attempting to treat any patient any where and any time. This is especially true when using Medical Ozone.

Many patients come to our clinic for ozone therapy and are appalled at the number of tests and diagnostics that we put them under to be able to ascertain what truly is the cause of their disorder as well as the road ahead for their recovery. While, to us this is standard fare, it seems to most that it is much more than they are used to. This has been brought to my attention time after time so I thought I would share this topic with all those reading this blog and the reason for our decision to implement this type of analysis for all our patients.

The first reality of our mainstream medical standard is that doctors are not generally trained to understand lab tests and what they mean and if they are they are taught by medical literature. This literature is mainly based on pharma knowledge and drug based therapy which is not really all that truthful. This is not a value judgement on my part and no offence to anyone intended. We have all seen and heard in many reports through the years from those insiders in the research and drug companies that have come out to tell us their horrible stories. Basing your primary diagnosis on a set of lies whether unknowingly or otherwise is the first step towards failure in medicine.

This does lead to a statement on the quality of education regarding medicine and health in our society and that would be another topic to discuss at a later date. What is important in assessing health or direction of health is that the assessor is qualified to truly understand what all those figures and results mean. Secondly and just as important, how to put them together in one carefully researched diagnosis so to establish a correct protocol both for the safety of the patient and their road to recovery. These in my opinion are the most important parameters in ant type of medical therapy today, this is not just limited to modern medicine. It encompasses any type of health therapy. In fact most errors in medicine, alternative/complimentary are based on these operator errors, errors of omission so to speak and some have been fatal.

We have all had an experience where we go to the medical person of our choosing and explain what maladies we suffer from, without asking much input from you, the doctor prescribes a certain set of tests and sends them off to the lab. You go home and chew your nails while the testing is being done, weeks go by and you do not hear from your doctor, for some of you, you leave it at that but for others you wonder what became of the testing so you either call your doctor or go to see him/her  and ask. The answer is most frequently, "Well, they came back and were all within range so there was no need to call you." Satisfied you go on about your business as if nothing is wrong and you are healthy but in the back of your mind you still have the symptoms that you came in to discuss. However less now for some strange reason, probably because you have learned to cope with them or your body has started to correct them. In some cases they are worse but frustration regarding this cycle leads you to just sit and bear it, not good in any case.

The truth of this is that the doctor looks at your tests and sees that all is within range, not highlighted by the lab and leaves it at that. This is not real diagnostics, one must look at all those parameters and truly understand what they mean. The lab reports that show a range are general and do not pertain to all, in essence one must be qualified to understand that ranges have three characteristics outside of "within range". Those would be normal high, normal low and normal mid range and those do have a bearing on your health when related to others in your lab report. They do indicate an issue or an upcoming issue that should be taken care of before it becomes a life threatening situation or a debilitating disease. The sad reality is that they are not carefully screened and pretty soon you are on your way to the doctor with something that could have been easily avoided or even worse being admitted to the hospital.

The second part of this issue that needs discussion is, what tests should be considered standard? This has been an issue with me from day one of my venture into medicine. The way it is now, testing is and has become very expensive so most doctors/therapists are reluctant to do much testing and again you get the issue of being under-diagnosed. This behavior tends to overlook whatever issue is really occurring in the system. We believe that you should be tested for anything that we can think of, in that way we can rule out what a patient does not have instead of chasing what a patient does have, a much easier system to be sure and one that has proved to us works as we have found issues no one would have guessed existed. In this method we can and do prevent the occurrence of many larger issues in the future. Preventative or true anti-aging therapy one might call it.

The tests that should always be considered without doubt in any form of medicine for any patient as a general rule are as follows:


Haematology
Diabetic Screen
Kidney Function
Lipid Profile
Liver Function
Hepatitis Screen
Thyroid Screen
Serology
Urinalysis

These tests will tell any health provider what they need to look at and any further studies that they need to have the patient do or undergo. Of course there are others specialized tests in addition that would relate to condition, complaint and even genetic influence among others.

As well, it is of paramount importance that a patient undergoes a heart study as there is a lot that one can find in a heart study, the heart and cardiovascular system is directly related to the way our body works and should be considered when testing for any and all disorders. let's face it if your heart is not working optimally, nothing in your system will work optimally as the heart is related to all parts of the anatomy in the sense that it directs the blood and blood is life, at least in my opinion. The least of these studies should be an echo with a fairly accurate machine and a fairly well trained cardiologist running it, not an intern or a nurse. No offence to nurses or interns but I do believe that a cardiologist is more in tune to the fine details, at least I hope so.

So, there you have it, this should be the first part of anyone's journey to better health, be it with the Modern Medical paradigm or the Alternative/Complimentary scene. If the Health Practitioner does not do this for you before diagnosing or running any other tests, demand it be done. If they insist on running such tests as a live blood cell analysis or some other type and tell you that they can tell just as much or tell you that the lab reports are not accurate, they most probably do not understand them and my advise is to change that health provider immediately. For those of you in the health industry, please take the time to understand the scope of laboratory testing, when used right it is an invaluable tool in diagnosing what is wrong with a patient and it is your duty to use all means at your disposal to correctly analyse a patient before recommending or commencing any therapy, medical, natural or otherwise. Remember, "First do no harm!". If you base your methods on a set of parameters that are not complete, there is a certain probability that you may do harm, even if the internet and various authors have you convinced otherwise...

Ozone Therapy Advanced FAQ

In an attempt to  dispel rumors and misinformation on advanced ozone therapy use this blog will try to answer questions that I have been asked over the years. There is so much information on the internet and sometimes it can be quite confusing for most people. What one must understand is, just as in anything, do not believe what you read until you can verify it. We must all remember, our society is based on money not good intentions. As much as we should all object to this mode of living, it is what it is...

If any of you think of anything that you want an answer to and I have not covered it, please feel free to ask by commenting below, in fact, if you disagree comment as well. For us to be a society that truly believes in having the freedom of choice, it is essential that we have all the facts, good and bad, enabling us to make the right choice for us individually.

1. Does ozone therapy cure as many diseases as they claim it to?

This is a very difficult question to answer. In my vast experience, I can say that not one individual in the many thousands that we have treated that has not had some form of benefit from Ozone therapy when it is done correctly by a well trained ozone therapist. By well trained, I mean one that not only knows ozone therapy but, is also familiar with all aspects of the body and can read into the testing of the bodies parameters when analyzed by a lab. This must include observation of the patient as well. These points are critical and must be observed in successful ozone therapy treatments. At times, diseases can be reversed, at times it can be regulated and at other times it can be helped, This therapy is not a panacea or a magic formula, it is true science and should be understood as such and nothing else.

2. What are the differences between normal ozone therapy and advanced RHP ozone therapy?

 Anyone who has studied ozone therapy and it's many applications has read that our form of ozone therapy is known as the best, there is no arguing this fact. The problem that most face is why is it the best? Well to explain this in simple terms, I must first say that really there is no comparison as it is a completely different process. You see, in conventional ozone therapies such as direct injection, saline infusion, insufflation, major and minor autohaemotherapy and any others. The body is filled with ozone in many ways and forced to absorb the ozone into the blood, this process creates chemical reactions inside the body and creates waste products that need to be excreted by our many filters, kidneys, liver, etc...To add, these processes do not enable us to infuse more than a small amount of ozone at a time. This due to the conversion of ozone to usable components and as well the excretion of waste coupled with the ability of the body and it's components to tolerate ozone's powerful effects.

In our method, we circulate all of the blood and at the same time ozonate and filter it. The body in this case is not forced to both withstand the reactions created not filter the waste, it is all done outside and what goes back is fresh, ozonated, filtered blood, nothing else. There is another point, valid or not, it is but a theory that I am working on. When ozonating, the ratio is typically 3-5% ozone and the rest is oxygen, I am still not certain whether the 93-97% oxygen put into the body is beneficial. Of course in our method, this does not occur as all extra oxygen is released. Due to this method we are able to safely infuse a higher concentration than typically recognized as safe and much more ozone into the system safely and effectively. All in all, a much more effective means of ozone therapy than all the rest.

3. I have a friend who told me that there are others using RHP ozone therapy.

Yes, as with anything else we do have copycats trying to create RHP in their own way and attempting to do it without the proper training. I want to make myself perfectly clear here. This is medical science and not something that can be understood by a lay person or attempted by someone untrained in it's use. It should be avoided if the ozone therapist or clinic/hospital is not certified or substantially trained in it's use and I do not mean a during a weekend seminar. Our training involves a multitude of courses over a long period of time. This method of healing is very intricate and as such needs to be taught by those that are trainers and educators in this field. A good part of knowing what to do with ozone is based on experience and observation and for that experience is the best teacher. Be wary of those that have just started or that have tried to copy our method. You may wind up worse than when you started and in critically ill patients, this could be disastrous. Should you encounter any of these instances, please feel free to contact me for an opinion or a review of either the person claiming to do this therapy or the establishment that you are in contact with.

4. How safe is this therapy?

Safety of ozone therapy has been tossed around the internet for quite a while and I read many of the citations that exist. The use of ozone therapy has been around for at least a century, unfortunately however, there have been no safeguards to assure accuracy and benefit. In any therapy there are risks, even with a skilled ozone therapist. I can say however that this is the safest form of medicine that exists in the world today. Having said that though, it does not mean that it is completely safe and one should exercise caution by reading and understanding what I have stated above and in my many blogs.

5. Is this Alternative Therapy?

Although we, as ozone therapist have jumped foolishly on to the alternative Medicine heading, this is not what ozone therapy is. Ozone therapy and especially advanced RHP therapy is in fact, a true medical modality and should be recognized as such. We hope to have that happen in the near future, it is our course and our aim.

6. Why is it so expensive?

Traditionally all forms of medicine are funded and researched by the pharmaceutical giants, government grants and such, they are as well covered by insurance. The only people that truly understand the low cost and value of ozone therapy are the ones without insurance as they are the ones that have to pay full price for their treatment. In the world, I can state that above any other true medical treatment, ozone therapy is by far safer, more effective and less expensive than any other. If one was to take a close look at all these parameters, there is no doubt in my mind that they would come to the same conclusion.

7. Why is it not accepted and available?

The world of medicine is dependent on, as with everything else, financial gain. There is no financial gain with ozone, it can't be patented and t is a cure unlike the medicine of today that merely puts off disease or creates other issues. As well, should the world embrace ozone therapy, most researchers, societies and grants would disappear and there would be less dependence on surgery and most drugs would be of no use. This would create financial kayos in our money dependent world. All these institutions I have mentioned also pay taxes, fueling the government coffers and no government at any point in time can afford to lose the fuel created by them. Simply put, the financial system in itself would suffer immensely should ozone therapy be common. Remember it is not about lives it is about money and the creation of it that fuels our economy, it's that simple.

I hope that I have answered some of the questions that need an answer, please feel free to ask any others that you may have so that we can establish a true and safe understanding of what is Medical Ozone Therapy.
