Why are all the tin-foil hat pics coming from members of the non-existent 'collective'. This more like my place.

What Is Ozone Therapy?
Research has shown ozone therapy to be effective at treating infections caused by:
- bacteria
- viruses
- fungi
- yeast
- protozoa
Ozone therapy also helps flush out infected cells. Once the body rids itself of these infected cells, it produces new, healthy ones.
What it helps treat
Ozone therapy is used for a variety of conditions.
Breathing disorders
People with any type of breathing disorder may be good candidates for ozone therapy.
By providing more oxygen to your blood, ozone therapy can help reduce the stress on your lungs. Your lungs are responsible for supplying oxygen to your blood.
Clinical trials for people with
asthma and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are currently in progress. The Mayo Clinic
doesn’t recommend ozone therapy for people with asthma.
Diabetes
Ozone therapy also shows promise in reducing the risk of complications from
diabetes.
Complications are usually caused by oxidative stress in the body. If ozone therapy can bring new, fresh oxygen to the blood and tissues, people with diabetes could have much better outcomes.
People with diabetes also experience poor wound healing. According to a
2015 study, ozone therapy could be helpful for repairing skin and tissue.
Immune disorders
Ozone therapy may have benefits for people with immune disorders because it can help stimulate the immune system.
An
in-vitro study from 1991 found evidence that ozone therapy could completely inactivate the
HIV virus. A
follow-up study published in 2008 didn’t find ozone therapy to offer any therapeutic value to people with HIV, however.
More research is needed on the use of ozone therapy for the treatment of HIV.
