  • Alberto Alexandre Editor INTRODUCTION
    THE USE OF OZONE IN SPINAL DEGENERATIVE PATHOLOGIES Alberto Alexandre Editor INTRODUCTION Ozone is a very important gas in the stratosphere, reaching its maximum concentration (1000μg/m3above) at a height of 20-30km. Is an unstable gas. It is composed of three atoms of oxygen and has a high breakdown rate ranging in the order of 105-106mol/s. Ozone is 1.6 times denser and 10 times more soluble in water (49.0mLin 100mL of water at 0°C) than oxygen and even though ozone is not a radical molecule, it is the third most powerful oxidant after fluorine and perisulfate. Ozone is produced by three main sources of energy: chemical electrolysis, electrical shock, and UV radiation. Ozone-theraphy has been used for therapeutic purposes since the late XVII century, in different therapeutic modalities with unexpected results in some pathologies. In the scientific literature the first mention of ozone was by the Dutch physicist Van Marumom Mak in 1785. During experiments with a powerful facility for electrification he discovered that in the air around the “ Large lectic Machine” there was a gaseous substance with characteristic smell, which had strong oxidizing properties. In 1840 the professor of the University of Basel Christian Frederick Schonbein related the changes in the properties of oxygen with the formation of a particular gas which he called ozone (from the Greek word ozein “smelly”). Schonbein first detected ozone capacity to merge with biological substrates at positions corresponding to the double bonds. The German chemist Christian Friedrich Schonbein, is also known for the discovery of nitrocellulose.

  • Ozone Therapy – a Comprehensive Study of the Literature
    Ozone therapy – A comprehensive study of the literature. M.Nordfors and PA Öckerman. Summary. The gas ozone (O3) was discovered in the 19th century. It consists of three atoms of oxygene. Ozone therapy has been used and studied for more than one hundred years. The effects are proven, consistent, safe and with minimal and preventable side effects. Medical O3 is used to disinfect and to treat diseases. O3 kills bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast and protozoa, stimulates oxygene metabolism and blood circulation, activates antioxidant mechanisms and the immune system. Ozone is toxic to lung epithelium and the eyes, due to low activity of antioxidants in these tissues. Therefore, it is mainly given as an intravenous infusion, either directly into the blood, as an ozonized saline solution. It can also be given as so-called major autohemotherapy, taking out 50-200 mL blood from the body, which will be ozonized extracorporeally, then infused back again. This can be done from one to 30 times in a row, depending on the treatment tradition and treatment goals. However, most therapists do it only once. There is also a version called EBOO, where you ozonize 3-5 Liters of blood continuosly extracorporeally. Yet another method is to take out a small amount of blood (5-10 mL) , which is ozonized, and then inject it intramuscularly. This is called minor autohemotherapy. A rectal application is easy to perform, has good clinical effects, and can also be performed by the patients themselves in their home. The gas can be injected intramuscularly in a case of muscle damage or muscle pain, paravertebrally when treating back pain, in joints and directly into disc herniation under X-ray supervision as a safe and inexpensive alternative to surgery.

Studies Iacopo Zanardi1 performed during the last two decades allow the drawing of a comprehensive framework for Valter Travagli1 understanding and recommending the integration of ozone therapy for spinal pain. Methods: An in-depth screening of primary sources of information online – via SciFinder 1Department of Biotechnology, Chemistry and Pharmacy, Università Scholar, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases as well as Embase, PubMed, and the Cochrane degli Studi di Siena, 2Department of Database of Systemic Reviews – was performed. In this review, the most significant papers Medical Biotechnologies, University of of the last 25 years are presented and their proposals critically evaluated, regardless of the Siena, Siena, Italy bibliometric impact of the journals. Results: The efficacy of standard treatments combined with the unique capacity of ozone therapy to reactivate the innate antioxidant system is the key to correcting the oxidative stress typical of chronic inflammatory diseases. Pain pathways and control systems of algesic signals after ozone administration are described. Conclusion: This paper finds favors the full insertion of ozone therapy into pharmaceutical sciences, rather than as either an alternative or an esoteric approach.

A Critical Evaluation” with ample scientific data based largely on his experiments indicat- ing the usefulness and atoxicity of ozone therapy in some diseases. However the book contained too many details and it was difficult to read for the busy physi- cian and even more for the layman. He has now written a new version that is shorter and concise. Nonetheless the mechanisms of action of ozone, which are essential for understanding how ozone acts through a number of messengers, are clearly explained in a scientific but plain language.

EDITION: Edition No. 01 ISSUE DATE: June 4 th , 2010 EDITION: Edition No. 02 ISSUE DATE: June 12 th , 2015 Taking into account since the discovery of the ozone by the German chemist Christian Friedrich Schönbein in 1840, its medical use has increased in different parts of the world and there is more interest from health professionals to know how it works and its benefits. Accordingly, the number of ozone-therapist keeps growing all over the world with an increasing number of patients benefiting from it. Although great efforts and advances have been made since the approval of the 1st edition of the Declaration in 2010, the consolidation of ozone therapy has not been easy, resistance is still found within the medical community and its recognition in the legal field will require more coordinated efforts. Recalling that pre-clinical research and clinical trials on the use of ozone therapy have been carried out in Cuba, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain and other countries, with considerable scientific rigor, obtaining results that support its practice using different medical protocols.
