WHAT IS OZONE THERAPY?

For the ozone, the name of "Breath of God" was given in Greek in ancient times. It is the ozone that occurred during the electrification of the clouds, creating this feeling in the air that we absorb as the smell of fresh air, especially after the storms where lightning and lightning occurs.
The effects of ozone and its necessity for our life were discovered in 1800s. Ozone is a technology that has been known for about 150 years, but its value is only understood.

Ozone is our health and our life is given back to us. Ozone therapy is a safe, effective and scientific application.

WHAT IS OZONE?

OZONE - SUPER OXYGEN

Ozone is the state of oxygen converted into 3-atom molecules with high energy and it is a molecule with low stability. Ozone is considered super oxygen.

It is a colorless, peculiar gas. It turns into oxygen at 20 -30 minutes at room temperature.

What is Medical Ozone?

Ozone is obtained from medical oxygen by means of special generators for medical use. Medical ozone is always used as a mixture of pure ozone and pure oxygen. Depending on the application, the ozone concentration is 1 and 100 ugr / ml. (0.05-5%) is between. Physician trained in ozone therapy adjusts the dosage according to the patient's condition and medical indication.
HOW DOES THE OZONTERAPY BODY EFFECT?
It increases the formation of white blood cells (defense cells and protects against infections), increases their function.

It kills bacteria, viruses and fungi. It is the most powerful natural and waste-free disinfectant.

It strengthens the immune system and increases the resistance to infections.

It is the curative in the treatment of diseases caused by the immune system deviation with its immune system regulating feature.

It prevents the rapidly growing cancer cells from multiplying and spreading.

It increases the elasticity of red blood cells (red cells carrying oxygen in the blood) and accelerates the passage through capillaries.

It increases the oxygenation of organs by increasing the ability of the blood to release oxygen to the tissues.

Accelerates intracellular respiration (obtaining the energy source necessary for the cell to function).

It helps cleaning chemicals in our body with its detoxifying feature.

(Heavy metal poisoning, such as lead, mercury, insecticides, drug waste, acidic substances, aggravate the removal of agricultural drug residues.)

It shows the pain relieving feature by enabling the natural painkillers in our body to be exposed.

It reduces the consistency of the blood, ensures its fluidity, thereby ensuring the plaque on the vessel wall to soften and dissolve the plugs in the small blood vessels, thereby regulating circulation.

 

OZONE THERAPY METHODS

Major Ozone: With this most commonly used method, 50-100 ml of blood is taken from the patient and it is returned to the person after mixing with the determined ozone.

Minor Ozone: 2-5 cc blood taken from the person is mixed with a specified dose of ozone and injected intramuscularly.

Subcutaneous Application: Ozone gas of specified dose and volume is injected under the skin with a fine tip needle.

Giving Ozone Gas to Body Cavities: Ozone can be given by breech, by spraying to the vaginal and ear canal.

Giving Ozone Gas into the Joint: In case of joint disorders, a certain dose of ozone gas is given into the joint with a suitable needle.

Bagging Method: It is a method used in the treatment of difficult-to-close wounds like diabetic wounds.

Use of Ozonized Products: Ozone water can be applied as an external application of ozonated liquids such as ozonated oil.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can ozone therapy be used to weaken?

Ozone therapy can be considered as a vaccination method that alarms the human body. It is known to accelerate metabolism and increase the amount of energy obtained from fat. However, slimming should not be expected by taking only ozone therapy. Weekly ozone treatments to be applied with an appropriate diet and exercise program greatly facilitate fat loss within an average of three months (10-12 major autohemotherapy). The regulation of blood sugar, the well-being that occurs in individuals who receive ozone, easier control of appetite, reduced morning fatigue and increased mobility facilitates weight loss. Ozone therapy is one of the biggest helpers in maintaining and maintaining the ideal body weight, especially in people who have a slow metabolism, easily lose weight and have difficulty in losing weight.

Does ozone treatment affect skin disorders like cellulite?

The most important cause of cellulitis is impaired blood circulation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Especially in women, the fat accumulated in the hip, calf and belly region accelerates the formation of cellulite. The blood circulation of the adipose tissue is less than other tissues and due to the elasticity of the skin, the vessels here are under pressure. Ozone therapy regulates circulation and supports the vessels of tissues, wherever they are in the body. It also benefits from subcutaneous adipose tissue and the circulation of the skin improves significantly with ozone therapy. The weight loss effect also contributes to these beneficial effects of ozone therapy.

Is there any benefit to ozone therapy in diseases such as Parkinson, Alzheimer's and dementia?

Experimental and clinical studies have revealed that ozone therapy can provide great support to patients in such neurological diseases. It is thought that nerve cells that have had paralysis and whose neurons in certain areas of the brain have failed to function may also help the nerve cells to function again. Human nerve cells are not renewed unlike many other cells. Therefore, supporting existing cells is very important in combating diseases. Ozone therapy can help patients regain lost functions by helping oxidative damaged nerve cells produce signals again. In addition, ozone therapy offers great benefits in cases where nerve cells such as depression need to be supported. Doctors who are experts in ozone therapy should be consulted regarding this issue.

Is ozone therapy used to overcome sexual problems?

Ozone therapy is known to be of great benefit to people in cases of reluctance due to diabetes and depression. Although there are not enough clinical studies yet, it is an important adjuvant treatment method especially in sexual coldness caused by mood disorders, depression and social problems.

Particularly recommended in autoimmune diseases, minor autohemotherapy can continue for 15-30 days.

Can healthy individuals receive ozone therapy, and what kind of effects do they get?

The modern lifestyle causes some harmful effects, especially in all individuals over the age of 35. Compared to 100 years ago, our food, lifestyle, light-dark cycle have changed greatly. Repetitive headaches and body aches, unwillingness, weakness, tiredness, morning fatigue, inability to concentrate (if not related to a particular disease) are the complaints from the modern world we live in. One of the situations that many of us do not notice but experiences is the “increased level of anxiety”. This situation occupies the brain in the sleep state where the human body is best rested and people wake up, especially in the morning, not resting. People over the age of 35 can expect serious benefits from ozone therapy for this and other reasons. Some of the expected benefits are increased well-being, easy concentration, well-being and rest. Ozone therapy also contributes to the improvement of conditions such as vascular stiffness, blood pressure, blood sugar and blood fat disorders that occur in parallel with aging.

Why is ozone therapy used in many different diseases?

Ozone therapy is not a treatment given to the human body. With this treatment, some existing mechanisms in the human body are supported. One of these mechanisms is Crèmes give the tissues the oxygen they need more easily. In many diseases that have blood problems, this feature is a great help in passing the disease. Oxitative stress and oxidation of molecules in the body is a major problem in many diseases. One of the best applications to get rid of this situation is ozone therapy, with this method, the defense system of the body is strengthened and the effectiveness of oxidizing harmful substances is eliminated. Ozone therapy, especially in individuals consuming cigarettes and alcohol, is very useful both in eliminating the effects of these harmful habits on the body and in supporting the will of those who want to quit.

How is the Ministry of Health's perspective on ozone therapy?

Ozone therapy is a treatment method accepted by the Health Ministries of approximately 20 countries including developed countries such as USA (16 states), Germany, Italy and England. It is very new for physicians in our country to be interested in ozone therapy. As a result of the application of physicians who are interested in ozone therapy and see the effectiveness of this treatment on their patients, this treatment method has been examined by a commission established by the ministry. Currently, local (regional) ozone applications are included in the scope of social security and studies are ongoing.

Are there university hospitals using this treatment method?

The main universities that deal with ozone therapy and apply it to their patients and their departments are as follows. GAZİ University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Istanbul University, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Maltepe University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Algology. Many branches of physicians participate in scientific meetings and seminars regularly held by the Medical Ozone Association (www.moder.org.tr) and begin to apply ozone therapy to their patients. In our country, experimental studies on the effect mechanism of ozone therapy and its usability in new diseases continue in many universities (Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal, Konya Selçuk etc.) and Education-Research hospitals, especially in Gülhane Military Medical Academy, Faculty of Medicine.
