Ozone is safer than asprin. It does not cause damage to the body at all. It is one of THE safest and most intelligent modalities on the planet. Ozone therapy is extremely safe when applied correctly. The gas flows out of a tube and directly into the apparatus being used depending on the application being administered. When done in a clinical or properly guided setting there are certain parameters you take to ensure not inhaling the gas directly which is not "DANGEROUS" simply irritating to the lungs. You would have to breathe in a high amount of pure, direct ozone before it would potentially cause any irritation to your respiratory area. When you inhale ozone VIA olive or essential oil otherwise known as "Nebulizing" the ozone turns into a different form to which "ozonoids" are dispersed through the bubbling which allows you to breathe in a new form of the ozone that is not at all irritating, In fact, nasal ozone insufflation is one of the best things you can do for your respiratory track for issues such as bronchitis or asthma.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO ANY APPLICATIONS?

It is VERY rare that you will feel any discomfort during or after any session. If you do have any sensations after the session it is simply a Temporary discomfort that will be subtle. It is the body's process of detoxification and is nothing to be alarmed of as these are normal during any detoxification process and provide valuable information on what’s going on in the body. Any sensations you feel may just be a inflammatory response to old dead cells being moved out of the body. Also good to note that if you feel anything happen passed 72 hours it is most likely not associated with ozone as it would have moved through the body in this time.

Ozone is created in nature by the ultraviolet rays of the sun and most commonly associated with the ozone layer in our atmosphere. Many hear the word ozone and immediately think it is bad because of how it is reported on the news. The weather channel uses ozone concentration to report unhealthy air because there is no direct measurement of pollutants. Ozone elevates to address air pollutants. Ozone also occurs in nature when lightning strikes during a thunderstorm. The fresh, clean smell often experienced after a big storm comes from ozone.

Medical-grade oxygen-ozone therapy creates an oxygen-rich environment that induces a positive, multi-factorial, biochemical/physiologic change in affected tissues. Ozone is one of the most powerful sterilizers in the world with the ability to kill/neutralize anaerobic bacteria, viruses, fungi, spirochetes, mold, yeast/candida. The third oxygen atom of ozone makes it reactive with an overall negative charge. The negative charge is drawn to positively charged microbes. Ozone attaches to the microbe and creates a hole in the cell wall. Once the ozone breaches the cell wall, the bacteria and virus die almost immediately, unable to survive the “oxidation.” Ozone has many systemic benefits as a circulatory stimulant, wound-cleanser, accelerant for wound healing, metabolism booster, anti-inflammatory, and immune-activating agent.

Ozone therapy is a type of oxidative therapy that has been widely used all over the world since its discovery in the mid 19th century. In 1896 the genius Nikola Tesla patented the first ozone generator in the US. During the first world war (1914-18) doctors applied ozone topically to infected wounds and discovered O3 not only remedied infection, but also had hemodynamic and anti-inflammatory properties. In the late 1980s German doctors were successfully treating HIV patients with IV ozone when no other treatment was available. Its effects are proven, consistent and with minimal side effects. Currently many doctors all over the world offer ozone therapy for cancer, infections, and overall wellness. In the '60s, '70s, and ,80s is when it started to get like a scientific foundation to it, when Dr. Velio Bocci did a ton of—basically, he dedicated his life to researching ozone therapy as a scientist and gave it a really good scientific foundation for a lot of other people to work off of.

The effects of the ozone sauna are cumulative that’s why we recommend doing a minimum of 10 sessions spaced close together to experience the full benefits.

With any modality in health it is always dependent on the person and the individual’s health status. A good rule of thumb in Ozone Therapy is to saturate the body with 5-10 sessions of any application within a short amount of time and then from there tune into what may be needed. We have had many clients feel immediate benefits in just 1 session, so for example for acute and urgent needs 1 session can be effective . For more long standing illness or infections it is wise to do 10 sessions within 3-4 weeks.

In a simple explanation, ozone is electrified oxygen that occurs in nature. With a machine we simply run oxygen from a concentrator into a machine that flashes UV light which electrifies and puts out the same gas nature makes. The ozone machine we use is a medical-grade oxygen run through a corona discharge unit to generate an oxygen ozone mixture. Corona discharge creates ozone by applying high-voltage to a metallic grid sandwiched between two dielectrics. The voltage passes through the dielectric to a grounded plate and in the process, creates ozone from oxygen present in the chamber. The energy splits the oxygen molecule (O2) into two separate oxygen atoms. Those two atoms each fuse to another oxygen molecule, forming three oxygen atoms, and producing the ozone molecule (O3).

Ozone therapy has huge potential for slowing chronic neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia as well as general physical decline due to aging. With its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, ozone can stimulate anti-neuroinflammatory effects directly in the brain. Using ozone therapy for anti-aging is becoming increasingly popular among practitioners and patients alike, because of the variety of available methods of delivery, which get to the root cause of different conditions. As we age, we become increasingly prone to conditions such as high blood pressure, dizziness, rheumatic disease, low immune response and cancer. All of these diseases have a direct relationship to diminishing oxygen supply, so it follows that by adding oxygen to the body via ozone therapy, many of these diseases can be prevented or successfully treated. Ozone therapy has also been identified as playing a role in the anti-aging process as it can deliver a welcome energy boost, a feeling of rejuvenation and an end to nagging conditions associated with the aging process.

Ozone destroys the bacterial cell wall through oxidation of the phospholipids and lipoproteins that it consists of. It also inhibits fungal cell growth. Similarly, ozone damages the viral capsid and prevents viral cell replication because peroxides formed in the blood as a result of ozone breakdown disrupt viral cell to cell communication. Once virus infected cells are eliminated, the body replaces them with healthy cells.

Ozone is a type of oxidative therapy that triggers a cascade of events in the body that leads to rapid healing. When ozone is introduced into the blood, it breaks down the glucose and releases energy and pyruvic acid, activates Krebs cycle, and increases cellular energy and oxygen in the tissues. Ozone also stimulates the production of free radical scavenger and cell protectors – glutathione, catalase and superoxide dismutase. It also leads to vasodilation and improved circulation.

There are 2 types of Ozone Machines in general regardless of brand...

Medical & Non Medical

Medical machines are ones that will use a pure oxygen source, where non medical uses room ( ambiant ) air/oxygen to electrify.

BOTH kinds output Ozone gas.

The Medical machines use pure oxygen sources which can be used INSIDE the body. The non medical machines pull air from the room which can have some less of a pure oxygen, but is totally fine and good to use for water, dental, skin and sauna usage because it is not going INSIDE the body.

As far as brand.. you may hear different things and see different things online and can become confusing.. Let me break it down!

Longevity and Promolife are and have been the most known and trusted for Medical Ozone. Simply o3 is the newest and there is also o3forpets.

Longevity was promoted by Dr. Shallenberger the authority on ozone therapy but this was because it is the oldest company in the states, and recently closed its business!

Promolife is the most at the cutting edge and trustable company in the felid of ozone hands down! I make a small commission but my intention is not to be sales person for promolife, I just authentically have been working with them for over 10 years and am absolutely impressed by their ability to keep up on the industry needs with the best application accessories, they make the highest grade machines in the USA with very strict compliance.

As for non medical brands, you may see machines on amazon or companies like therasage or others simply source those amazon machines and white label. In my opinion the non medical machine from www.dentalozonekit.com is the highest quality and most trusted. And can be used for more than dental!

If you see o3 machines that are under $100 they are basically lil fans that spark a lil room air and wont really do much!

I don't trust MANY of the brands as they are just cheap and not reliable or safe. And they don't have strong compliance for safety.

Promolife and Dentalozonekit.com are the ONLY two brands I trust PERIOD.
