Ozone Therapy and Cancer

Ozone therapy is a powerful tool in the fight against cancer and continues to gain momentum in this regard. Ozone therapy refers to the process of administering ozone gas into the body to treat a disease. Ozone is a colorless gas made up of three atoms of oxygen (O3) and is used to treat medical conditions by stimulating the immune system.

Ozone therapy destroys cancer cells

Healthy, human cells love oxygen while disease causing viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites and cancer cells, are anaerobes.  This means these microbes and cancer cells cannot live in a high oxygen environment. In cancer, the cancer cells have an increase of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) which damages their mitochondria.  This damage drives the cancer cells towards anaerobic glycolytic metabolism … which means the cancer cells make their energy without oxygen.  It has been shown that a lack of oxygen or hypoxia plays a major role in cancer disease progression.  Malignant tumors are characterized by regions of low oxygen.  In fact …

Using cells from human breast cancers and mouse breast cancer models, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center say they have significant new evidence that tumor cells exposed to low-oxygen conditions have an advantage when it comes to invading and surviving in the bloodstream.

If cancer cells thrive in an oxygen depleted environment, it makes sense that introducing oxygen will destroy the cancer cells.  This is why ozone therapy is such a powerful tool in the fight against cancer since it floods the body with oxygen, suppressing the growth of cancer cells while enhancing the immune system.

Ozone therapy is a powerful adjunct to traditional cancer treatments

When used in addition to traditional treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy,  ozone therapy can help increase tissue oxygenation, improve immune system response, help with inflammation and improve circulation. These responses from Ozone therapy can help the body better respond to radiation and chemotherapy, as well as boost the body’s natural immune defenses.

Additionally when ozone therapy is given alongside cancer treatments like chemo and radiation, it may help minimize harsh side effects such as nausea, fatigue, and hair loss. Such positive therapeutic effects of ozone therapy improve physical and mental wellbeing resulting in a higher quality of life. 

Ozone therapy and it’s benefits in cancer treatment

• Ozone therapy has been used in various cancers, such as colon, breast, and lung, yielding significant results in preclinical studies and clinical trials.
• From the literature, ozone therapy has been used as medical treatment with the purpose of inducing apoptosis, reducing tumor cell proliferation, inhibiting migration and invasion, reducing angiogenesis, and enhancing the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy in different types of cancer.
• By increasing the permeability of the tumor microenvironment, ozone therapy may allow chemotherapeutic drugs to penetrate deeper into tumor tissue, which has been shown to be more effective in reducing the growth of cancer cells than chemotherapy alone.
• Ozone therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and inflammation in the body. This is especially important for cancer patients, who often experience significant pain and discomfort due to the growth of their tumors.
• The use of ozone therapy in cancer patients enhances the action of chemotherapy and at the same time reduces side-effects, such as nausea, vomiting, opportunistic infections, buccal ulcers, hair loss and fatigue.
• Ozone therapy is highly potent against lesions caused by the human papillomavirus HPV16 (the most common cause of cervical cancer).
• Patients receiving ozone therapy report noticeable increases in physical and mental wellbeing that enhance quality of life during treatment regimens.
• Ozone therapy is also non-invasive and has minimal side effects, unlike conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.

Conclusion

Over several decades, prestigious journals have published in vitro and in vivo studies on the capacity of ozone to induce direct damage on tumor cells and, as well, to enhance the effects of conventional treatments like chemotherapy. These studies provide support for the potential benefits of ozone therapy during cancer treatment.  More studies are needed to bring this powerful modality to an ever growing number of cancer sufferers.  And, it is my hope that ozone therapy becomes an integral part of every cancer protocol.  Ozone therapy is cost effective and safe with non of the unpleasant side effects of conventional treatments.

At Glow Wellness we utilize a multi pronged approach when working with cancer patients.  We utilize ozone therapy, nutritional infusions, diet, emotional support and other wellness offerings like detoxification, grounding, etc.  Our trained medical professionals provide safe, effective and comprehensive services that are personalized to meet individuals needs.  Our Ozone therapies take about 30 to 45 minutes and for best results, we recommend at least two sessions per week.
