Ozone Therapy
Have you ever noticed the peculiar smell of a thunderstorm? The cause of that smell is
ozone (1).
Even though it was discovered a long time ago -- in 1840,
it remains the subject of multiple arguments and
disagreements. It protects us as an ozone layer around the
Earth from ultraviolet radiation. We would be dead
without ozone over there. On the other hand ozone as a
component of smog is damaging to human's lungs. It is
like people: there is no absolutely good or absolutely bad
person. Each individual has his own good and bad
features.
Even though ozone is not endorsed for medical use by any
of the English speaking medical societies or official
agencies, it is believed to be beneficial in many countries
by many doctors and this is why: Soon after its discovery
in 1956 in Europe they started using ozone to sterilize
surgical instruments (2) because of its antibacterial and
antiviral properties. Later, Europeans began using it to
sterilize drinking water (3).
What about US? Was it behind Europe? Not at that time.
1885- Jacksonville, Florida.
A local Florida medical association published “Ozone” by Charles J. Kenworthy, M. D.,
M.R.S.V.. What it meant was this: At the time, doctors in the US had been widely using
ozone medically without any restrictions. What was once the subject of publication in
prestigious medical journals, and what was being used to treat people a mere 60 miles
from Florida in almost every Cuban hospital, is now cause for arrest in the state of
Florida. In 1999, Kenneth R. Thiefault and his wife, Mardel Barber (formerly of Jupiter
Florida) were sent to jail for a total of 8 years for marketing and selling ozone generators
(4). But that was in 1999. Fortunately or unfortunately doctors a hundred years earlier
did not know about it and continued to treat people with ozone.
1892 - England.
The prestigious medical journal Lancet publishes an article about using Ozone as a
tuberculosis treatment (5).
1916- World War I.
Multiple people are injured and in need of treatment. Doctors used ozone because of
itsantibacterial properties to help heal wounds and treat infections. At that time, a

prestigious Lancet report by Major George Stoker, MRCS was published stating the
following: “The accompanying tabulation statement of the results of the first 21 cases
treated by ozone at the Queen Alexandra Military Hospital “England” cannot be
regarded as anything but satisfactory from every standpoint, be it humanitarian,
scientific or economic. The cases were, for the most part, those of cavities and sinuses in
the femur and tibia. It is the great experience of
those who have seen a great deal of war surgery
that such cases obstinately resist treatment and
are apt to remain unhealed for months and
years ... I have failed in only one case ... the
properties of ozone which have a wonderful
healing effect are ... an increased flow of blood to
the affected part ... as a germicide it destroys all
hostile micro-organic growth ... as the French
chemist Hennocque has shown it has great
powers in the formation of oxyhaemoglobin ... at
present our knowledge of the effects of ozone is
but small, but later I hope to bring before the
medical public further satisfactory facts with
reference to its working and results” (6).
Wait a second, the FDA claims: "Ozone is a toxic
gas with no known useful medical application in
specific, adjunctive, or preventive therapy. In
order for ozone to be effective as a germicide, it
must be present in a concentration far greater
than that which can be safely tolerated by man
and animals" (7) .
Really?
1991- Canada.
The HIV epidemic was raging and no effective treatment was available. Inspired by
German reports about ozone autohemotherapy about successful treatment of HIV, the
Canadian hospital is given the green light to go ahead with zone autohemotherapy.
Unfortunately it was never actually proven effective against HIV. However, it was
proven to be safe by multiple European studies. Maybe ozone from Europe is safer than
that from America? Does not look like it.
2000- US.
The International Society of Hematology Published the research group report from the
Scripps Research Institute, California, USA: “Ozone autohemotherapy has been
considered a form of alternative medicine and has not yet been subjected to the rigors of
well-designed clinical trials. Despite encouraging anecdotal reports regarding the use of
ozone in various disorders, there has been a concern that ozone per se may adversely
affect red cell membranes and metabolites. The purpose of this study was to ascertain

the effect of ozone administration at a concentration commonly used in
autohemotherapy on a panel of red cell enzymes and intermediates, as well as its effect
on red cell integrity. Since these parameters were unaffected by ozone, we suggest that
clinical trials for the use of ozone autohemotherapy should be encouraged." (8). The
same conclusions were made by Japanese, Israeli, Polish and Italian studies (9).
But where are more studies besides Scripps from the US? They do not exist.
Maybe they have better equipment in Europe and Japan? Or maybe they are better
funded? Or maybe ozone is very cheap and readily available in contrast with
pharmaceuticals?
It would appear that there were two groups of experts: pro and contra. The first group
thinks, that ozone is a poison and cannot be used as a drug. The second group believes,
that ozone can be used as a drug. Like
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme
blockers -- lisinopril, enalapril,
captopril, etc. These originally
controversial medications were all
inspired by snake venom, but now it
would be next to impossible for medical
practitioners to imagine life without
them. Or not have accessibility the
blood thinner Coumadin, inspired by
rat poison, that is now saving lives.
The war between those two groups
became even crueler because of the
successful union between ozone
therapy and autohemotherapy, which European doctors were using successfully for
more than 50 years. The main problem was that nobody wanted to pay money for
controlled studies over the gas, which is very cheap and cannot be patented.
May 2005- Department of Physiology at the University of Siena, Italy.
A physiology professor by the name of Dr. Velio Bocci is sitting at his desk. However, the
paper he is writing is not about physiology per se. The subject of his paper is ozone
therapy because in addition to his work in physiology, Dr. Velio Bocci is the world a
recognized expert in it’s uses. He decided "to dispel misconceptions and skepticism
regarding ozone therapy and to clarify the biochemical and pharmacological
mechanisms of action of ozone...". According to his review, ozone, given in small doses,
does not cause damage by generating free radicals. Instead it stimulates our body’s
response, giving us protection against them. Moreover, it stimulates our immune system
by cytokines release. Also ozone promotes generation of nitric oxide, which is
indispensable for circulation improvement because it opens up our vessels. This is how
nitroglycerin or Viagra works. Those facts support that almost no side effects were
reported after using ozone autohemotherapy and gives us the scientific basis to explain

why it is beneficial for the human body.
As per Professor Velio Bocci, MD, ozone autohemotherapy can be beneficial in treating
the following (10):
1. Acute and chronic infectious diseases not responding to conventional treatments such
as parasites, herpes, infected wounds, osteomyelitis etc.
2. Living with ischemic diseases that cause poor circulation in the brain or in the heart
like coronary artery disease etc.
3. Auto immune diseases like multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis
etc.
4. Degenerative disorders like dementia.
5. Certain lung diseases.
6. Chronic fatigue syndrome.
7. Dentistry to treat infectious lesions.
Etc.
Of course Ozone autohemotherapy is not for everyone. It is not a magic pill, but it might
help when traditional treatment has failed.
