Ozone Therapy for Ischemic Heart Disease and Cardiovascular Health

A review study further concluded the efficacy of ozone therapy for peripheral arterial disease. In this review, Juchniewicz et al., reviewed the current knowledge of oxygen-ozone therapy and its effects on peripheral artery disease.

• Studies suggest that ozone therapy positively affects platelet aggregation, cell remodeling, cytoskeletal elements organization and mitochondria structure.
• Furthermore, ozone therapy has proved successful in the effective method of hypertension and diminishes the hypoxia state of various tissues.

Ozone therapy promotes faster recovery and enhances the healing processes. Furthermore, data suggests that ozone appears to be an effective adjunctive therapy in preventing peripheral artery disease complications such as the occurrence of a cardiovascular event.

The group reported that ozone therapy improves the quality of life of individuals suffering from cardiovascular disease. Moreover, it is very cost-effective, as standard treatment costs can be reduced by 25%. Easy clinical protocols allow the implementation of oxygen-ozone therapy into the usual care of cardiovascular patients. Furthermore, ozone therapy holds a meaningful treatment avenue for older patients and patients who are not eligible for standard revascularization.

The science suggests that ozone therapy appears to be very effective in preventing cardiovascular disease. If we look at the mechanism of action regarding heart attack, stroke and other major cardiovascular events, we can understand that these events result from deterioration over time. These changes occur due to arterial stenosis, elevated blood pressure, dyslipidemia, poor glycemic control, disturbed oxidative stress and long-term inflammation.

Oxygen ozone therapy has been shown as an effective method of improving all of the above conditions, thus having an incredible effect on cardiovascular diseases. It is clear that patients tolerate oxygen-ozone therapy and experience less pain when having ozone. Furthermore, patient satisfaction is dramatically increased when using ozone therapy. No side effects of ozone therapy for cardiovascular disease have been reported in clinical trials.

Here are a few fundamental mechanisms why ozone therapy helps those with cardiovascular disease:

• By increasing the concentration of antioxidant enzymes in red blood cells, ozone therapy results in more oxygen being delivered to the heart and other tissues through the RBCs.
• The red blood cells in our bodies become more flexible (improved rheological properties) and can squeeze through even the tiniest of blood vessels.
• Ozone prevents the clumping of red blood cells.
• Ozone can also reduce the clumping of platelets, so it works as supportive therapy for a damaged heart.
• Research has shown that when a patient undergoes Ozone therapy, congestive cardiac diseases can be improved by reducing lipid peroxidase.
• Ozone improves our cellular oxygen.
• It is well-recognized that most chronic diseases originate with inflammation and oxidative stress, which ozone directly targets.
• Ozone therapy aids in promoting adaptability to oxidative stress. Ozone stimulates antioxidant enzymes throughout the body, thus helping the body prepare for oxidative stress damage.

It is essential to note the systemic effects of ozone therapy.

• Lower life forms such as parasites, viruses, fungi, and bacteria are anaerobic and lack antioxidant enzymes.
• As a result, these lower life forms fail to survive in the presence of ozone.
• This mechanism makes ozone treatment effective on multiple other diseases as well.
• So although you may be interested in ozone for cardiovascular health, remember the MANY capabilities of ozone therapy.
