TI "Ozone Therapy: The Science Behind the Scandal"
DT 940400
SO Longevity (04/94) Vol. 6, No. 5, P. 54
AB Ozone therapy, involving doses of the reactive oxygen gas,
has long been in Europe a popular alternative treatment for
a variety of ailments. While health authorities chide
practitioners for using this "unproven" therapy, reports
continue to describe favorable results. Scientists also
continue to investigate the potential of ozone therapy to
eliminate disease-causing organisms from the bloodstream.
In the mid-1980s, German researchers began using a process
called autohemotherapy to test the use of ozone on blood
infected with HIV and hepatitis B and, in 1986, a biotech
company called Medizone International was created to follow
up on the approach. Since then, Canadian and American
scientists have confirmed ozone's direct antiviral effects,
and its ability to boost key parts of the immune system.
Last May, a Canadian study reported that ozone completely
inactivated SIV, the simian equivalent of HIV, in monkey
blood. The implications for safeguarding the blood supply
are clear, although the therapeutic potential is not.
Nevertheless, according to Medizone, preliminary trials are
being conducted at five centers in Italy using an
ozone/oxygen mix to treat patients with HIV and hepatitis
B. A great deal of research remains to be performed on
ozone, but advocates predict that because ozone cannot be
patented, it will not attract financial backing for the
scientific studies needed to win FDA approval.
