I’m gad someone brought this forward. Ozone can sound tempting at first blush, but ozone is a powerful OXIDANT which can be detrimental to tissue (including vessels), especially if inflamed. INSTEAD, I found ANTIOXIDANTS to be necessary for my recovery, and the doctors prescribed them for me while I was in the hospital recently. My response to powerful antioxidants (N-Acetyl Cysteine, Vitamin C and Vitamin E were the most important initially) was undeniable. The difference between killing cancer with oxidation (which can be effective) vs. reducing inflammation with antioxidants is an important one. My viruses, BTW, did not linger. I didn’t need more antivirals. I needed to address the effect of the viruses on my body instead. I have a feeling that many patients with chronic illnesses are afraid they have ongoing viral infections, when in fact, they may be dealing with the inflammatory response and continual damage from that, instead. I know we are NOT all alike, but again, my personal history is one of inflammation and damage from inflammation — triggered by viruses, but not due to ongoing viral infection (ditto with my kids). Ozone would be just the opposite of what we require to heal (yeeks). Great question! 😉
