Ozone or O3 is a highly charged oxygen molecule with increased oxygenating properties. It can be administered topically, intravenously, or by injection. It can be vaporized and inhaled or given rectally. With higher levels of oxygen in the tissue, bacteria and viruses and defective tissue cells are killed. The healthy cells are stimulated and multiply more rapidly. Ozone therapies are thought to benefit patients by stimulating white blood cell production, killing viruses, improving oxygenation, helping the body to fight infections and cancers, and stimulating the body’s metabolism.
