HOW DOES OZONE WORK BIOCHEMICALLY?
1. Inactivation of bacteria, viruses, fungi,
yeast and protozoa: Ozone disrupts the integrity of the bacterial
cell envelope through oxidation of the phospholipids and lipoproteins.
In fungi, ozone inhibits cell growth at certain stages. With viruses,
the ozone damages the viral capsid and upsets the reproductive cycle
by disrupting the virus-to-cell contact with peroxidation. The weak
enzyme coatings on cells which make them vulnerable to invasion
by viruses make them susceptible to oxidation and elimination from
the body, which then replaces them with healthy cells. 2. Enhancement
of circulation: In circulatory disease, a clumping of red blood
cells hinders blood flow through the small capillaries and decreases
oxygen absorption due to reduced surface area. Ozone reduces or
eliminates clumping and red cell flexibility is restored, along
with oxygen carrying ability. Oxygenation of the tissues increases
as the arterial partial pressure increases and viscosity decreases.
Ozone also oxidizes the plaque in arteries, allowing the removal
of the breakdown products, unclogging the blood vessels. 3. Stimulation
of oxygen metabolism: Ozone causes an increase in the red blood
cell glycolysis rate. This leads to the stimulation of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate
(2,3-DPG) which leads to an increase in the amount of oxygen released
to the tissues. Ozone activates the Krebs cycle by enhancing oxidative
carboxylation of pyruvate, stimulating production of ATP. Ozone
also causes an increase in the NADH reducing process and helps to
oxidize cytochrome C. There is a stimulation of the production of
the enzymes which act as free radical scavengers and cell wall protectors:
glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, catalase, and superoxide
dismutase. Production of prostacyclin, a platelet aggregation inhibitor,
and a vasodilator, is also induced by ozone. 4. Formation of peroxides:
Ozone reacts with the unsaturated fatty acids of the lipid layer
in cellular membranes, forming hydro peroxides. There is a synergistic
effect with cellular-formed H2O2. Lipid peroxidation products include
alkoxyl and peroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen, ozonides, carbonides,
carbonyls, alkanes and alkenes. 5. Dissolution of malignant tumors:
Ozone inhibits tumor metabolism. In addition, ozone oxidizes the
outer lipid layer of malignant cells and destroys them through cell
lysis (break-down). Phagocytes produce H2O2 and hydroxyl and ozone
to kill bacteria and viruses. The generation of hydroxyl by killer
cells is critical to their cytotoxic capability. Ozone stimulates
conversion of arginine to citrulline, nitrite and nitrate by phagocytes,
promoting their action on tumors. 6. Activation of the immune system:
Ozone administered at a concentration of between 30 and 55 ug/cc
causes the greatest increase in the production of interferon and
the greatest output of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin
2. The production of interleukin 2 launches an entire cascade of
subsequent immunological reactions.
