Just do a search for “OZONE THERAPY” and you will find an abundance of links about how ozone could be used as a therapy, even intravenously (!)

The theory behind the use of ozone for therapeutic purposes is that all higher cells are aerobic and can survive in an oxygen rich atmosphere. The cell membrane is coated with antioxidants that protect the cell. Lower life forms such a virus, cancer cells and many bacteria are anaerobic and die if exposed to oxygen.

If invaded or damaged, the body creates pro-oxidant free radicals (e.g. hydrogen peroxide) as one of its main defense to kill the invaders. Many conventional cancer therapies are pro-oxidants that use the same mechanism to kill the cancer cells. Ozone is just a very aggressive free radical that will oxidize (“burn”) away dead cells, bacteria, cancer cells and other debris inside the body.

If the normal cells in the body are nourished with antioxidants they will be protected and the ozone therapy will be harmless.

The negative reactions reported by people who are exposed to ozone are caused by side effects from the strong purging reaction inside the body. If a normal (unhealthy) adult is exposed to ozone, the gas will enter the bloodstream and react with debris, dead cells, bacteria, and proto-cancer cells and kill these cells. The result is that the level of dead toxic residues in the bloodstream goes up, which puts the liver and kidneys under a lot of extra strain. The body reacts with fatigue and headache while it is purging the unwanted substances.
