Before you schedule your new patient ozone therapy appointment at Second Nature Care, let's dispel some common misconceptions about ozone therapy. Myth # 1 Ozone is a dangerous gas

Ozone is a gas and a form of oxygen O3. O3 is a molecule with 3 oxygen atoms. It is relatively unstable which makes it useful medically. When ozone is introduced into the body, ozone seeks out and attaches to harmful bacteria, fungi and viruses rendering them harmless. Cancer cells are destroyed on contact and healthy cells are unharmed. 

Myth #2 Ozone can be stored for days or weeks

Ozone cannot be stored and in fact it starts to breakdown after 45 minutes.  We create your ozone treatment after you have arrived in the office so that you get the most effective treatment. We use the highest grade medical oxygen to make ozone through our FDA approved ozone generator. We offer I.V. add-ons to turbo charge your therapy. Glutathione, vitamins, minerals and or chelating agents can be added to your treatment. All of our formulas are from FDA approved pharmacies and we prepare your treatment under strict regulatory guidance. 

Myth #3 Ozone is safe when directly injected into the vein 

Direct injection of ozone into the vein is dangerous, has been linked to fatalities and is not an acceptable practice. It is illegal in Germany where ozone therapy began. Precise dosing is impossible. Side effects from this method are broncho-spasms, pulmonary embolisms, transient blindness, free radical fevers, phlebitis at the injection site, sclerosing of the veins, rashes and rapid heart rate. We only follow standard of care methods approved by The American Academy of Ozone Therapists. 

Ozone can only be administered by licensed and board-certified practitioners. All ozone patients must complete a new patient intake and see our licensed practitioners before receiving treatment. Patients are informed of the use, benefit, contraindications and administration of ozone at their first visit. They must sign a consent form. Vital signs are taken before every treatment. Treatment is monitored every week. 

Myth # 4 Ozone causes free radical formation 

Ozone therapies do not cause free radical formation. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and I.V. hydrogen peroxide therapy both create free radical inflammation.  

Myth # 5 Ozone is an unproven treatment

On the contrary, there are 5000 citations about ozone in medical literature. It has been in use since 1859 to disinfect operating room in Europe and since 1860 in Germany to purify municipal water supplies. There are over 45,000 ozone practitioners worldwide since 2000. Ozone is recognized and widely used worldwide for cancer, Hepatitis C, HIV and other chronic conditions. It is not FDA approved in the US because it conflicts with big Pharma. The fact is that ozone works. If people used ozone they would not need most pharmaceuticals and some surgeries.

Ozone can be used in conjunction with chemotherapy and radiation to enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments. Ozone has been proven to reduce side-effects from standard-of-care cancer treatments. Ozone can also be used as a stand alone treatment for cancer and chronic infections.  

Ozone stimulates white blood cells to fight infection, kills pathogens, speeds up the breakdown and elimination of environmental toxins, increases the production of interferon and tumor necrosis factor to fight cancer, increases the efficiency of antioxidant enzymes, increases the flexibility of red blood cell membranes, speeds up the citric acid cycle to improve metabolism and increases oxygen utilization into every cell. All degenerative and chronic diseases are caused by decreased oxygen utilization. 

We can live without food for weeks, water for about 3 days, but we cannot live long without oxygen - the most critical nutrient for our life force. 

Myth #6 All ozone treatments are created equal

Not so. Our ozone treatments are unique and individualized based on your condition and genomics. We offer high dose ozone treatment for aggressive cancers. Our practitioner to patient ratio is 2:1. Patients receive treatment in private rooms so they can concentrate on their healing. We offer ozonated water to drink and your choice of music to listen to during your treatment. All of our equipment and compounded formulas are top-notch. Patients travel across the country, fly in from Europe and drive 6 hours to get the best ozone treatment from us. We offer all forms of ozone - I.V. saline, MAH, prolozone injections, bladder, vaginal and rectal insufflations, inhalation and general injections. We are ozone innovators. We invented a an ozone treatment for pre-cervical cancer that is patent-pending. Patients choose our ozone clinic because we know what we are doing and we do it well.
