ozone is a chemical compound consisting of three oxygen atoms
O3 (i.e. triatomic oxygen), a highly energetic form of normal
(diatomic) atmospheric oxygen (O2).

due
to its being an extremely powerful oxidizing agent and a highly
effective disinfectant, it is used throughout the world to destroy
germs in water treatment installations supplying drinking water.
medical ozone is always a mixture of purest ozone and purest
oxygen.
medical ozone has highly pronounced bactericidal, fungicidal
and virostatic properties, and is thus widely used in disinfecting
infected wounds, as well as in bacterially and virally produced
diseases.
its ability to stimulate the circulation is used in the treatment
of circulatory disorders and makes it valuable in revitalizing
organic functions.
when administered at low concentrations, the organisms own resistance
is mobilized, i.e. ozone (re) activates the immune system.
as a response to this activation through ozone, the body's immune
cells produce special messengers called cytokines (including
important mediators such as interferon’s or interleukins).
these inform other immune cells, setting off a cascade of positive
changes throughout the immune system, which is stimulated to
resist diseases for example.
this means that the application of medical ozone is extremely
useful for immune activation in patients with a low immune status
and/or immune deficit.
small quantities of ozone applied consequently activate the
body's own antioxidants and radical scavengers. |
