Ozone Therapy provides a wide range of health benefits.

People report a range of health benefits that is associated with the use of Ozone Therapy using steam, insufflations, drinking ozonated water, applying ozone topically with ozonated olive oil and other methods such as dentistry.  Because of the many available uses for ozone, ozone therapy is becoming increasingly popular for a wide variety of physical conditions.

Short History and Benefits of Ozone Therapy

Ozone has been used in medical treatment since the early 1900’s. It was legally used by medical professionals in the USA until the 1920-30’s when the medical establishment barred it use in favor of more profitable synthetic petrochemical drugs. Ozone continued to be used by natural doctors (Naturopathic Doctors – ND) up to the present time. Ozone medical treatments are used in most countries legally in Italy, Germany, Russia, Mexico, Malaysia, Cuba and more. Ozone is widely accepted and used for water purification (Los Angeles, Houston and many other cities currently use ozone for water purification) and is use for Wastewater treatment and surface disinfection. Other non-medical uses include mold abatement and air purification.

Ozone O3 is simply a high powered form of Oxygen O2. Ozone stimulates the production of white blood cells. Interferon levels are significantly increased. Ozone stimulates the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor. Ozone kills most bacteria at low concentrations. Ozone is effective against all types of fungi. Ozone is the best virucide as ozone goes after the viral particles directly. Ozone is antineoplastic. This means that ozone inhibits the growth of new tissue because rapidly dividing cells shift their priorities away from producing the enzymes needed to protect themselves from the ozone. Ozone oxidizes arterial plaque. It breaks down the plaque involved in both Arteriosclerosis and Atherosclerosis.

Ozone increases the flexibility and elasticity of red blood cells. When one views a red blood cell under a microscope, it looks like a disc. In the capillaries, where they pick-up (lungs) and release (tissue) oxygen, these discs stretch out into the shape of an oval or umbrella. This aids their passage through the tiny capillaries and makes the exchange of gas more efficient. The increase in flexibility of the RBC’s allows oxygen levels to stay elevated for days, or even weeks after treatment with ozone.

Ozone accelerates the Citric Acid Cycle. Also known as the Kreb’s Cycle or TCA Cycle, this is a very important step in the glycolysis of carbohydrate for energy. Ozone makes the anti-oxidant enzyme system more efficient. Cells respond to the beneficial oxidative stress by increasing their production of the protective enzymes. Ozone breaks down petrochemicals. These chemicals have a potential to place a great burden on the immune system. They also worsen and even cause allergies and are detrimental to your long-term health. Overall ozone has be used successfully to treat a large variety of conditions.

We are not implying that ozone is a cure for anything, all we are saying is ozone helps assist your body so your own bodies mechanisms can promote a healthier lifestyle. Nothing cures you except your body’s own natural defence and ozone, diet or any type of non-toxic treatment will help. Diet and exercise also play an important part of any treatment weather natural or conventional.

Using Ozone Therapy

To make Ozone (O3) the ozone generator needs to be fed with a pure oxygen (O2) source such as an oxygen concentrator (95%) or tank. A pure fed ozone generator increases the concentration of ozone compared to an atmospheric or ambient oxygen (20%)  fed ozone generator which will produce toxic and irritating by products such as nitrous and sulfur oxides.

Ozone Therapy is considered one of the most effective methods to treat a variety of conditions and is used legally worldwide. Ozone Therapy is not recognized nor approved by the US  FDA. Ozone Therapy also has little or no side effects. Remember, ozone is an oxygen compound, is non-toxic and life giving.  Without ozone the planet earth would not exist.

Here is the secret to keeping lean, even when you cannot work out

When an injury keeps you out of action, or a travel schedule leaves no room for exercise, a few simple adjustments to your eating can keep the weight off, and have your body in great condition for when you are ready to return to your fitness routine.

Slip some of these simple steps into your day-to-day routine:

1. Watch out for empty-kJ traps

Without a fitness routine, you will not have the flexibility to eat like you normally would. Watch out for empty-kilojoules’ traps such as sauces, dressings and toppings, and be more thoughtful about what you are putting in your mouth.

Dietician’s advise that you:

– Watch what you drink by choosing water instead of wine or juice

– Eat a salad without a sauce or dressing

– Have a baked potato or rice instead of chips

2. Calculate your kJ burn

Do a rough estimate of the kilojoules you burn from your regular workout (the average person burns about 420-560 kJ per workout) and trim that many kilo-joules from your daily eating. It probably equates to simply having a smaller portion size at one or two meals.

3. Pump up the calcium

Experts say you should stick to three to four daily servings of calcium to ensure you get the vitamins and minerals you need, and to help you lose weight. A study from the University of Tennessee (US) found that dietary calcium (such as fat-free or low-fat yoghurts) may help you lose weight because it converts dietary energy into heat rather than into stored body fat.

In the study, overweight people were put on a low-kJ diet with three daily servings of yoghurt (1100 mg calcium), while another group received 400-500 mg of calcium supplements.

The result: the yoghurt eaters’ waist size dropped by 3.5 cm and their weight dropped an average of 6 kg; compared with the other group, who lost an average of 2.5 kg and only 0.5 cm from their waist.

4. Go for low-GI foods

Low-GI foods will make you feel fuller for longer and regulate your digestive tract to help prevent bloating and constipation. “Low-GI foods are absorbed slower so you retain a sense of fullness for at least three hours. Just remember to control your portion sizes!

5. Endermologie – A BREAKTHROUGH IN THE TREATMENT OF CELLULITE

ENDERMOLOGIE® is a proven technique, which has been in use for about 12 years in Europe, United States, Asia, South America and is now in South Africa.

It uses a low-pressure vacuum pump to massage the skin between two motorized rollers, sucking it up into a fold or pleat. This rolling suction action reduces oedema in fat cells and increases the circulation, unblocking the blood and oxygen flow in the suffocated cellulitic tissues. The connective tissues are stretched, allowing the skin to go from the puckered look of cellulite to its normal smooth appearance.

The drainage of stagnant waste products via the lymphatic system and fine blood capillaries is also accelerated, resulting in more refined curves and a beautiful, toned skin. ENDERMOLOGIE® is already popular with many women worldwide.

Clinically, the effectiveness of ENDERMOLOGIE® lies in its action upon cutaneous and subcutaneous structures such as connective tissues, fatty tissues, as well as vascular and lymphatic circulation. As a result, the body is reshaped; skin quality and texture are improved.

FAQ

How many sessions before I see results?

The average women will need 14 to 20 treatments to achieve optimal results. Treatments are generally 35 minutes in duration, twice a week. Once a month follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain results.

How long do the results last?

For several months up to a few years, depending on age, lifestyle, and hormonal changes. Once-a-month maintenance sessions are recommended after completion of the initial sessions, which maintains the results and keeps the toxins and abnormal fluid from building back up in the connective tissues.

How long does a session last? Do you just work on my problem areas?

Sessions last an average of 35 minutes. Your problem areas are focused on, but time is given to other areas to stimulate general circulation and elimination.

Does this replace exercise?

No. In fact, it is highly recommended that you add diet and exercise to the routine you follow while undergoing Endermologie ® treatments. In most cases, this improves results. It really works on a different area than exercise ~ which effects the deeper structures, which is why even women who work out often have cellulite

6. Ozone Therapy

When the body is flooded with an activated form of oxygen, such as ozone, people consistently report that these conditions as well as their general health and energy levels dramatically improve.

From a technical point of view, cells infected with a virus are already weakened and this shows up as lowered levels of enzymatic activity in the cell wall, or “lipid envelope”. This substandard protein coating is unbalanced and incomplete, and it is the perfect attractor for the extra oxygen. Once the ozone attaches itself to the infected cell, it is destroyed and flushed from the system. Healthy cells are completely unaffected and there is no residual toxicity.

7. Stick to your bedtime

Are you a victim of late-night snacking? A recent study from North-western University Feinberg School of Medicine (US) found that people who stay up late and sleep in tend to have worse diets, eat more at night and gain more weight, compared with those who go to bed at a reasonable hour. Messing with your circadian rhythm (your body’s internal clock) can cause you to eat at the wrong times and gain weight. Eat at regular intervals throughout the day and stop before 8 pm. Ensure you have a reasonable bedtime that you stick to.

Cellulite Begone with Endermologie!

We all live in fear of the appearance of the dreaded ‘orange peel skin’ and truthfully, not many of us escape its arrival.  Whether overweight or not, the fact is that cellulite is a naturally occurring condition caused by trapped ‘pockets’ of fat under our skin which leave us with areas of dimpled, bumpy skin.  The good news is that with the advent of revolutionary new procedures, cellulite can fast become a distant memory.

Cellulite is most commonly found in women – in the subcutaneous fatty layer underlying the dermis and epidermis on the thighs, buttocks and abdomen.  It is a well known fact that cellulite is almost impossible to get rid off and even those with the healthiest diet, exercise and lifestyle habits suffer from this skin scourge.  Whereas in the past liposuction may have been the only answer, many find this mechanical procedure invasive, rough and painful.  The good news is that Endermologie is safe, quick, easy, effective – and pain free.

Endermologie is a revolutionary new method of lmphatic draignage for the removal of excess waste, resulting in the banishing of cellulite.  It stimulates the connective tissue of your skin to produce new collagen fibres, resulting in a smooth, tightened and sculpted appearance of the treated skin and underlying tissue.

Why is oxygen so important to us?

Healthy cells in the body need and love oxygen. Most undesirable micro-organisms are anaerobic, which means that they thrive in the absence of oxygen; in fact, they are destroyed by the presence of oxygen. Organisms such as fungi, parasites, bacteria, and primitive viruses like HIV, Epstein Barr, Coxsackie and Cytomegalovirus are often associated with states of ill health. Note that conventional medicine blames these micro-organisms for many chronic illnesses.

The body becomes deprived of adequate levels of oxygen through improper breathing, polluted air, inadequate nutrition and junk foods and stress. This provides an anaerobic environment in which the micro-organisms thrive.

Healthy cells which have sufficient oxygen and nutrients, manufacture an enzyme coating around themselves which protects them against invasion. Oxygen starved cells are unable to produce enough enzymes to fortify their cell walls; they subsequently become weaker and more vulnerable.

Heat is continually generated through the chemical action of oxygen upon carbon, which releases carbon dioxide for elimination. If insufficient oxygen is present, carbon monoxide is produced instead. Carbon monoxide is an irritant to the nervous system, interferes with organ functions, reduces basal body temperature, and prevents oxygen uptake by the red blood cells. This has the effect of debilitating the body, thus making it susceptible to infection and disease.

How does it effect us?

People can survive without water for a week and without food for a month but only four minutes without oxygen before brain damage sets in. As a result of oxidation, the body turns food into heat and energy and excretes microbes and waste products. The human body consists of water of which 90% is lymph and 10% is blood and O2. Cells function by burning sugar in the presence of O2. The waste products are H2O and carbon dioxide. If there isn’t sufficient O2, carbon monoxide and lactic acid build up. Carbon monoxide prevents the red blood cells from taking in O2, and the body’s temperature drops. The lactic acid builds up in the system, blocks nerve pathways, calcifies and eventually causes degeneration. More O2 is needed to break down these toxins. Several toxins are transported by the blood, and some are stored in fat cells. The water content of the body is polluted more and more and this results in illnesses. Cells that have too little oxygen are not able to protect themselves by means of production of a special enzyme layer on the cell surface. Viruses and bacteria can thus easily infiltrate the cell. Oxygen is therefore important for good health. The more O2 the body has, the more energy a body has and the quicker it can get rid of toxins and waste products. Oxidation is important for the body’s metabolism, blood flow, respiratory system and digestive system. Sufficient O2 allows the body to heal itself and to maintain the immune system. Thus Ozone Therapy is one of the recommended treatments to elliminate viral and fungal infection as well as detox the system so the body can absorb more O2.

Why is Water so important?

Incredible as it may seem, water is possibly the most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off! Although most of us take it for granted, water may be the only true “magic potion” for permanent weight loss.

Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will couse fat deposits to increase, while an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits. Here’s the reason: the kidneys can’t function properly without enough water. When they dont work to capacity, some of their load is dumped onto the liver. One of the primary functions of the liver is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for the body. But, if the liver has to do some of the work of the kidneys, it can’t operate at full tilt. As a result, the liver metabolizes less fat, more fat remains in the body and weight loss stops.

Drinking enough water is also the best treatment for fluid retention. When the body gets less water, it preceives this as a threat to survival end begins to hold on to every drop! Water is stored into extra cellular spaces. (Outside the cells) This evidences as swollen feet, legs and hands. Diuretics are a temporary solution at best. They force out stored water, along with some essential nutrients. Again, the body perceives this as a threat and will replace the lost water at the first opportunity. Thus, the water retention quickly returns. The best way to overcome the problem of water retention is to give the body what it needs; plenty of water! Only then will the stored water be released and the swelling subside.

The overweight person needs more water than the thin person. Since we know that water is the key to faster fat metabolism, it follows that the overweight person should drink much more water. Water also helps to prevent the sagging skin that usually follows wight loss. Shrinking cells are supported by fluid, which plumps up the skin, leaving it clear, healthy and resilient.

Water helps rid the body of waste, detox. During weight loss, the body has much more waste to get rid of – all the waste products from the metabolized fat must be excreted. Again, adequate water intake helps to flush away these waste products.

Water can help relieve constipation. When the body gets too little water, it absorbs what it needs from internal sources. One of these primary sources is the colon. A great deal of water can be re-absorbed from the faeaces, leaving them dry and hard. The result?  Constipation! Drinking enough water will couse normal bowel function to return.

How much water is sufficient? On average, a patient should drink 2 liters of water per day. (About 8 glasses) An overweight person should drink an additional glass for every 10kg of excess weight. Water intake should also be increased when one exercises vigorously or when the weather is hot or dry.

Water should preferably be cold – it is absorbed into the system more rapidly than warm water and is more pleasant to drink. Certain evidence suggests that drinking cold water can actually help to burn calories.

When the body gets the water it needs to function optimally, it regains a state of fluid balance. When this happens, one has reached ’breakthrough point’. What does this mean?

*Endocrine gland functioning improves

*Fluid retention is alleviated as stored water excreted

*More fat is used as fuel because the liver is free to metabolize stored fat

*Natural thirst returns

*There is a loss of hunger almost overnight

If the patient stops drinking enough water, the fluid balance is upset and the result may be fluid retention, unexplained weight gain and a loss of thirst. To remedy this unhealthy situation, they will have to go back to drinking sufficient water to reach another ‘breakthrough point’.

How to detox your body

Using a weight loss detox as a body cleanse can help you flush fat, excess weight and the environmental toxins that may be causing you to have a hard time losing the weight. Many people have enjoyed health benefits from cleansing including; fat loss, weight loss, glowing skin and more energy.

Scientific studies are proving that our bodies do store toxins and chemicals in fatty tissue. These may be from pesticides or environmental and industrial pollution. As science finds more evidence that these toxins can account for unexplained weight gain, many more people are considering a weight loss or detox programme as a new solution.

When making a change in diet or lifestyle, through stopping a bad habit or eating habit, exersising, lymph draingage through treatments like Endermologie and Ozone Therapy or simply adding 6 to 8 glasses of water to your daily ruitine your cells begin to eliminate the toxic substance. Before finding the exit, however, the toxins are released into the bloodstream and are carried through the circulatory system. This transportation and elimination may result in headache, diarrhea, or constipation, and often toxins are eliminated through the skin, resulting in rashes or skin problems (especially if you are prone to such problems) where treatments like Ozone Therapy will be beneficial. You may also feel a lack of energy, especially if you are eliminating meats from your diet. (The protein found in meat is more stimulating than that found in vegetables).

You can eliminate the toxins much quicker through doing treatments like Endermologie and Ozone Therapy which help to increase you bloodflow and lyphatic system. By improving the flow your body will get rid of the build-up leaving you with benefit like: more energy, better sleep, overall improvement of skin and hair, weigh loss, centremeter loss, improvement on the appearance of cellulite,tone end texture of skin.You may also find that, with the absence of toxins, you absorb the correct substances more easily.

What is Ozone Therapy?

Oxygen Chamber Therapy is a common way to describe the combination of Ozone and Steam Sauna Therapy. Ozone, or “activated oxygen”, is introduced into a special steam sauna cabinet, where it then is absorbed transdermally (across the skin) of the occupant. The result is a health effect on the occupant that combines the beneficial oxygenation and detoxification effects of both Ozone and Steam Sauna Therapy.

Over a period of 20-30 minutes, ozone breaks down into one regular molecule of two atoms of oxygen – by giving up one single reactive atom of singlet oxygen. Medical ozone is made when medical grade oxygen is electrically activated (using an ozone generator) to form ozone. Ozone is germicidal, bactericidal, and fungicidal. Oxygen has these properties too, but less strongly.oxygen, such as ozone, people consistently report that these conditions as well as their general health and energy levels dramatically improve.
From a technical point of view, cells infected with a virus are already weakened and this shows up as lowered levels of enzymatic activity in the cell wall, or “lipid envelope”. This substandard protein coating is unbalanced and incomplete, and it is the perfect attractor for the extra oxygen. Once the ozone attaches itself to the infected cell, it is destroyed and flushed from the system. Healthy cells are completely unaffected and there is no residual toxicity.
