Major Autohemotherapy

Ozone was first discovered in 1840. It is commonly used to disinfect drinking water and is used in swimming pools and hot tubs. However, ozone gas has also been long known to play a role in medicine. Ozone has been used safely since the 1st world war, when it was used to treat gas gangrene. It has a variety of applications and is a beneficial tool in helping patients to treat both chronic and acute conditions.

Autohemotherapy

Unlike medical oxygen, ozone gas cannot be inhaled, as it is toxic to the respiratory tract. Autohemotherapy is the name used to describe how ozone is administered intravenously. A small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn and once removed ozone is added to the blood. As soon as the ozone is added to the blood it reacts with the cells in the blood. The blood is then re-administered to the patient by IV drip. The re-administered blood circulates through the body and stimulates the body’s immune response. Even though it is a small amount of blood a cascade response begins which stimulates the immune response in the entire body.
