Ozone Therapy

When you hear the word “ozone,” you may immediately think of the ozone layer in our atmosphere that protects us from the ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The sun’s ultraviolet rays are what create ozone (O3). 

Ozone (O3), is an energized form of oxygen which 

contains three atoms of oxygen rather than the two 

we normally breathe.

Ozone is the second most 

powerful sterilizer in the world and can be used to 

destroy bacteria, viruses, and odors. Interestingly, 

ozone occurs quite readily in nature, most often 

as a result of lightning strikes that occur during 

thunderstorms. In fact, the “fresh, clean, spring rain” 

smell that we notice after a storm most often results 

from the creation of ozone. 

How does it Work?

The third oxygen atom of ozone makes it extremely reactive, readily attaches itself to other molecules. When contaminants such as bacteria or viruses make contact with ozone, it creates a minuscule hole in the cell wall. After the ozone breaches the cell wall, the bacteria will be unable to survive. This process is called “oxidation.” Once used, ozone reverts to oxygen, making it a very environmentally friendly oxidant.

conditions commonly Treated With Ozone:

  • Autoimmune Conditions

  • HeavyMetalToxicity

  • Herpes

  • IBS

  • Infections of all kinds

  • Inflammatory Conditions

  • Joint Problems

  • Lupus

  • Lyme Disease

  • Multiple Sclerosis

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis

  • Skin Issues

  • Q: What is the benefit?

    Healthy cells that have enzymes are able to break down ozone into oxygen. Unhealthy cells (i.e. cancer cells, viruses, and bacteria) do not survive as the ozone penetrates the harmful cell membranes and destroying unhealthy cells.
  • What can IV Ozone treat?
    This therapy has been proposed for use in various diseases, including AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, heart disease, alzheimer’s dementia, lyme disease, to name a few.
  • How long has IV Ozone been around?

    It was first used by doctors in France in 1951 who injected up to 10 mililiters of ozone-oxygen into an artery/vein in patients with poor circulation.
  • How long does it take to administer?


    It typically takes about an hour to run an IV Ozone for one patient.
  • How much does it cost and is it covered by Insurance?

    As a stand alone treatment the cost is dependent upon application, ranging from $200- $400 Cash. Insurance does not cover IV Ozone.

  • How is medical ozone produced?
    There are two methods of producing ozone: ultraviolet (UV) and corona discharge. 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 screen/plate and in the process, creates ozone from oxygen present in the chamber. UV light creates ozone when a wavelength of 254 nanometers (nm) hits an oxygen atom. Both processes split oxygen molecules into single oxygen atoms (O). These atoms combine with another oxygen molecule (O2) to form ozone (O3), which physicians then use medically.
  • Is ozone safe?
    Ozone is safe when used under the right circumstances. However, if the proper safety measures are not in place, then high concentrations of ozone in the air can cause health problems. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), has stipulated that the allowable safe level of residual ozone is 0.1 ppm. Note that this permissible exposure limit (PEL) is for continuous exposure throughout an entire eight-hour day.
