OZONE THERAPY – FREE RADICALS

Free Radicals: 

These are molecules with extra electrons. Their mere structure allows them to attach themselves to other molecules mostly destroying their cells, tissues and thereby a part or an area of the body. They are liable to weaken the system depriving it of its vitality and can cause damage to body systems, more particularly the immune systems. These free radicals are part of the physical system and are called biochemical invaders whose presence is difficult to discern. Bacteria as well as viruses are invaders from outside and therefore it is easy to understand the impact of their onslaught. Free Radicals destroy the system more easily and surely and they do not co-exist unlike bacteria or viruses, which can co-exist within the body. Free Radicals create devastation in the entire system. They are capable of creating more than 50 ailments such as aging of the skin, fatigue, cell membrane damage, which propels to cell destruction even DNA damage. 

Anti-Oxidants: 

They prevent free radicals from damaging cell membranes. They are known to eliminate free radicals by supplying them with extra electrons. Such extra electrons have a tendency to latch up to the free radicals and alter their structure chemically and guide them into a stable compound such as hydrogen peroxide. H2O2 promotes oxidation process, which in turn generates more cellular energy. The cellular energy can be increased with ozone application. 

Dr. Stanley Bayerle states how ozone increases the cellular energy, “…Once in the blood, ozone reacts with fatty acids and the cell membranes of erythrocytes. Ozone's reaction at the membrane starts glycolysis, the breakdown of fats. This increases ATP, which is the energy system in the body. This, in turn, carries and releases oxygen molecules. More oxygen in the system enables the organism to do a variety of things, since the body thrives on oxygen. 

"Most microbes are anaerobic; they thrive without oxygen, and cannot live in the presence of added oxygen in the bloodstream. The ozone and the fatty acid cell membrane then do a reaction that occurs at that membrane which creates peroxide. A lot of destructive processes that go on are due to an accumulation of peroxide. That's why antioxidants are so important, in not only ozone treatment but in day-to-day living, because of all the environmental pollution that occurs. When that happens, it creates an increase in peroxides that go unchecked. What happens is that when these peroxides accumulate within the cell, there's an increased production of a specific biochemical called 23DPG diphosphoglycerate, which enables oxygen to be released from the hemoglobin molecule. 

"Now all of a sudden we're freeing up more oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule. Hemoglobin carries oxygen. Now, we've got all this oxygen released going throughout our vascular system and it has antimicrobial, antiviral activity. This is the latest German research."…”
