The key to living a long and disease-free life isn’t a great secret—you have to keep
your cells healthy.
So how do you do it?
Well, believe it or not, the largest determining factor in how healthy your cells are isn’t
water…or vitamins…or protein…
It’s oxygen!
You can breathe in all the oxygen you want. But if it’s not getting to your cells—or they
can’t use it properly—you can be a sitting duck for serious infections, low energy
levels, and literally dozens of chronic illnesses.
In fact, lots of diseases we develop over time can be traced back to our cells not
getting all the oxygen they need.
Fortunately, there’s a solution that’s becoming much more widely available to patients
everywhere: medical ozone.
Medical ozone treatments actually help your cells take in more oxygen, and stimulate
the enzyme that transfers oxygen into your cells.
And as I’ve seen in my own practice, regular ozone treatments can be the secret to
conquering infectious diseases, eliminating fatigue, and even fighting everything from
heart disease to cancer.
End years of suffering with this energy-boosting, infection-fighting compound
Before I get into all the science behind ozone, let me give you a quick example of what
it can do.
3
Case in point: Adam, a 50-year-old patient of mine who’d been diagnosed with a
chronic viral illness, came to me and said, “I have been fatigued for more than five
years.”
That’s right—FIVE YEARS!
He’d received little to no help from the doctor who had been treating him—other than
being told to “rest.” And, clearly, that wasn’t working.
My treatment plan was a lot more tactical: I injected Adam with a series of infusions of
his own blood mixed with medical grade ozone.
This treatment, known as IV Major Auto-Hemotherapy (see sidebar), can greatly
enhance immune function to eradicate infections AND stimulate the mitochondria to
produce more energy.
Sure enough, within just three treatments, Adam’s energy began to return—and after
completing 10 treatments, he said he felt like he did in his 20s.
For patients like Adam with chronic viral infections, the use of medical ozone can be
outstanding. In a 2011 study, ozone therapy significantly improved the symptoms
associated with chronic Hepatitis C.
In fact, ozone therapy was even associated with the DISAPPEARANCE of the Hepatitis
C virus in 25-45 percent of patients who had it.1
Recently, I had good results with a patient with a chronic bacterial infection who’d
been receiving antibiotic injections for TWO YEARS. After a series of IV Major Auto-
Hemotherapy (the same treatment that Adam received for his chronic viral infection),
her lab values and symptoms dramatically improved.
I should note that you should never inhale ozone, as it can be damaging the delicate
mucous membranes of your respiratory tract. However, it doesn’t carry this type of risk
when infused with blood and administered intravenously or used topically.
Here are the five major ways that ozone therapy can be administered for the treatment
of medical conditions:
SPECIAL REPORT: OZONE THERAPY

1. IV Major Auto-Hemotherapy: A patient’s blood is drawn into a sterile medical
container and then mixed with medical-grade ozone and a blood thinner (heparin).
The mixture is then dripped directly into the patient’s vein over a period of
approximately 25 minutes.
2. Minor Auto-Hemotherapy: Blood is drawn from the patient, mixed with medical
ozone, and then injected into the buttocks muscle.
3. Injections: The injection of medical grade ozone is becoming popular as a nonsteroidal
treatment of joint pain. There are also different injections available for
dental infections and sinus infections.
4. Rectal insufflation: Medical ozone is literally blown into the rectum, where it is
highly absorbed by the blood vessels. This can be used for digestive ailments or,
due to the high absorption, for systemic treatment.
5. Topical ozone treatments: Ozone can be applied topically to the skin with
carriers such as water and oils. Commercially-available ozone oils (often olive oil)
are available.
Ozone gives your immune system a boost
Now that I’ve shown you what ozone can do, let’s talk a little about why it works so
well.
I’m sure you know all about the “ozone layer” in the Earth’s stratosphere that blocks
UV light. And, in fact, when we talk about medical ozone, it’s actually the same
molecule!
Ozone is formed in nature when electricity (such as lightning) or ultraviolet light acts on
a molecule of O2 (oxygen). This causes the two oxygen atoms to briefly separate into
single oxygen atoms.
Most of these oxygen atoms will quickly reunite to again form O2 (oxygen)…but a few of
them will come together in three’s to form O3 (ozone).
This happens in nature all the time. But doctors and scientists can also use special
ozone generators to artificially form ozone for medical purposes.
Medical ozone won’t damage your body’s cells. Normal cells were designed to interact
with oxygen and have protections for when they come into contact with too much of it.
In fact, your body’s own immune system actually generates ozone!

But most bacteria and viruses don’t have built-in safeguards against an oxygen
overload. This makes ozone therapy an excellent treatment for acute and chronic
infections.
Ozone can be used for all types of infections including viral, bacterial, fungal, and
parasitic. Once given, ozone doesn’t stay in your blood for very long, but it leaves
behind short- and long-acting reactive oxygen species that attack disease-causing
pathogens.
It kills bacteria by damaging the bacteria cell wall, and it can disrupt the bonds of the
virus membrane, causing the virus to die.2
Ozone also stimulates your immune system response, increasing white blood cell
activity and stimulating chemicals that enhance the immune system response.
Sometimes, certain immune chemicals may fight an infection too hard and cause too
much inflammation, which can result in cell damage and even cell death. Ozone has
been shown to reduce excess levels of those chemicals, giving you a much better
chance of surviving what would’ve otherwise been a lethal infection.
I’ve started using ozone therapy for patients with acute infections such as the flu or
upper respiratory tract infections with good results. It can also be used topically for a
variety of skin infections, and it can be effective for dental infections—including
gingivitis, periodontitis, and root canal infections—when administered by injection or
with topical treatments.
In fact, an increasing number of holistic dentists are offering this type of therapy. A
2012 review study published on the use of ozone in periodontics concluded, “In
comparison with classical medicine modalities such as antibiotics and disinfectants,
ozone therapy is quite inexpensive, predictable and conservative. The ozone therapy
has been more beneficial than present conventional therapeutic modalities.”

Saving lives…and limbs…around the world
So how powerful is medical ozone?
During the Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa, Dr. Robert Rowen led a team to Sierra
Leone to provide medical ozone therapy for those afflicted with this deadly disease.
Four symptomatic patients who’d been exposed to Ebola started getting better
immediately after beginning ozone treatment. Although the patients recovered within
two to four days, they were treated for 10 days…with NO complications.4
How’s that for compelling evidence?
But I’ve actually heard from Dr. Rowen that American health authorities have
expressed no interest in learning more about his medical ozone approach for Ebola nor
in conducting further studies. Sadly, the medical establishment does not want to
investigate non-toxic, inexpensive, and effective treatments, since they can’t be
patented and sold for exorbitant prices, like with prescription pills.
Dr. Silvia Menendez Cepero has also presented very interesting research on how
Cuban doctors use medical ozone to successfully treat diabetic skin ulcers that would
normally lead to amputation. After successive treatments—both intravenously and
topically—many of these patients’ lesions completely healed, and their limbs were
saved.5
I was fortunate to have the chance to see her speak at a medical conference, where
she noted that Cuba has numerous ozone clinics. Since treatments are relatively
inexpensive, they’re actually subsidized by the Cuban government.
In fact, Cuban, Russian, and German doctors routinely prescribe medical ozone
treatments to help patients treat a variety of diseases that range from infections…to
cancer…to chronic fatigue.
Based on the strong scientific findings in the literature, medical ozone should also be
strongly considered for:
Age-related macular degeneration: The “dry” form of macular degeneration
(see my patient Marty’s story on page 8) can be helped with ozone therapy, which
slows the progression of the disease and improves visual acuity. A study published in
the International Journal of Ophthalmology found that those treated with IV Major Auto-
Hemotherapy had no loss of visual acuity at their six-month and 12-month followups—
compared to the control group, which showed 40 percent loss of visual acuity at
the 12-month mark.6
Autoimmune diseases: Emerging evidence shows a link between chronic
infections and a dysregulated immune system and auto-immune diseases. As I
mentioned earlier, ozone therapy works to modulate and balance the immune system,
and it reduces inflammation.

Cancer: Medical ozone is gaining popularity for the integrative treatment of
cancer. While not a cure by itself, medical ozone can be an important part of a
comprehensive treatment plan, especially since cancer cells do not do well in an
oxygen-rich environment. As I mentioned earlier, ozone improves immune system
function—and that’s something that’s absolutely critical in the treatment of cancer.
Cardiovascular disease: Ozone therapy can be a valuable treatment for those
with cardiovascular disease where circulation is impaired. This includes coronary artery
disease, angina, intermittent claudication (leg cramping), and diabetes. I have had
many patients tell me they notice improvement in circulation to their lower legs and a
reduction in swelling from ozone treatments. Dr. Shallenberger has written that he’s
found the combination of IV Major Auto-Hemotherapy and chelation to be highly
effective for those with chronic coronary artery disease.
Fibromyalgia: Patients with fibromyalgia often have reduced mitochondrial
energy production. Ozone directly supports the function of mitochondria and keeps
inflammation in check. A small trial showed excellent improvement in 35 percent of
patients receiving twice weekly IV Major Auto-Hemotherapy treatments with ozone, for
a total of 16 treatments.7 My experience is that this treatment combined with the right
dietary changes and specific nutritional supplements can reduce fibromyalgia
symptoms by 80 percent or more.
Inflammatory bowel disease: The use of ozone therapy can be effective on
Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, particularly when administered with rectal
insufflation (see sidebar).
Osteoarthritis: In this most common form of arthritis, degeneration of the joint
causes stiffness and pain. Injecting ozone into or near the joint works to reduce
inflammation and pain, as well as stimulate tissue healing. At our clinic, we’ve seen
many patients respond to this therapy, and multiple studies have proven that ozone is
effective at reducing joint and back pain.8,9
Respiratory Illness: Using ozone to improve your cells’ oxygen uptake is
especially valuable for patients with asthma, COPD, and emphysema.
Ozone has been used for medical purposes for over a hundred years, yet few U.S.
doctors are even aware of all of this published research demonstrating its potent effect
in treating a number of illnesses.

But what does ozone actually do in the body?
Ozone therapy can boost your body’s own natural mechanisms (directly or indirectly)
to fight infection by destroying those pathogens, as well as:15
stimulation of body’s own antioxidant production
stimulation and balancing of immune system
increased oxygenation of tissues
stimulation of stem cell production
activation of platelets and growth factors
improved circulation
So how much treatment will you need?
Bottom line: Medical ozone therapy offers people a holistic approach to improve
cellular oxygenation, which leads to better energy levels, less inflammation, less pain,
and better immune function.
People with chronic health conditions usually require a series of treatments that can
range from one to two treatments weekly over the course of weeks, months, or more,
depending on the severity of their condition.
When performed by health professionals with proper training in medical ozone therapy,
the treatments are very safe.
Fortunately, a growing number of clinics in the United States (including my own) are
treating patients with medical ozone. So, it shouldn’t be too hard to find treatment
within a reasonable driving distance for you.
