Ozone addresses the key issues in almost all disease conditions: oxygen delivery, blood circulation, detoxification—and it boosts the Immune System. Ozone has five properties that account for why it works so well not only for macular degeneration, but also for most other chronic age related conditions:

Ozone is a potent regulator of the immune system. This means that when the immune system is overactive (as in auto-immune disease), ozone will calm it down. Conversely, when the immune system is under active as in cancer, AIDS, and chronic infections, ozone will stimulate it. This unique ability of ozone stems from its action on the membranes of white cells that causes them to produce immune related messenger molecules called cytokines. Examples of cytokines are gamma interferon, interleukin-2, colony stimulating factor, and TNF-alpha just to name a few.

Ozone stimulates increased uptake of oxygen by stimulating the enzyme diphosphoglycerate (DPG). DPG enables the release of oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule so that it can be taken up into the cell. In the absence of an adequate amount of DPG, our cells become starved for oxygen. This is a common problem in diabetics.

Ozone improves circulation. It does this by enhancing the flow characteristics of blood as a liquid. This effect enables more of the oxygen carrying hemoglobin to reach the capillaries where ultimately the cells will receive more of the oxygen they require. Many patients with chronic inflammatory conditions have impaired circulation.

Ozone increases antioxidant protection more than any other therapy including vitamin C. Most people with chronic disease have deficient antioxidant defenses.

Some conditions simply will not clear up unless ozone is used. And, of course, many conditions will clear up without ozone. Because of its many therapeutic properties, ozone can be used as part of a therapeutic plan for almost every disease.

It is invaluable in the treatment of heart disease and circulatory disorders. Chronic infections such as Hepatitis-C, Herpes, Lyme, and AIDS respond very favorably to ozone. It is also very helpful in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Autoimmune diseases.

Although ozone is often an indispensable modality, it is only rarely effective by itself. In the great majority of cases, it must be combined with an individualized program of other alternative and natural therapies, such as nutrition and detoxification.

Ozone therapy should only be used by professionals who have been fully trained in its use. Dr.Kirti Kalidas has been trained by Dr. Shallenberger and Dr. Rowen. He welcomes your questions and for more information, call 407-355-9246 or visit www.drkalidas.com.
