A brief history of man will reveal that much of the bloodshed
and wars did take a toll on our population. The many enmities between and among
races and creeds brought nations and kingdoms to either great heights or great
doom. Countless encounters are chronicled which highlight man’s demise and near
extinction.
Another chapter in the almost sudden demise of man is
noteworthy, not for the gore and hatred, but for the seemingly invisible
invaders which gradually creep and silently slaughtered man. This micro invaders
generated much mysticism and wonder among scientists and religionists that
eventually led to man’s mad attempt to explain the unknown or blame Deity. With
the emergence of modern science and medicine came the understanding of the
alien-like microbes. This understanding led to seek for ways in controlling,
killing, and containing these disease-causing microorganisms. The attempts went
far and wide; every possible alternative and solutions have been located,
studied, and tried to see which would be best. It was during this stage of
seeking for remedy when one stumbled upon a compound known as Medical Ozone.
Ozone as Remedy
Ozone was first discovered in 1840 and was used primarily to
disinfect operating rooms and to sterilize surgical instruments because ozone
has a capacity to oxidize organic compounds. 16 years later, the use of ozone
therapy was advocated as a form of alternative medicine but there was no
scientific evidence supporting its use in the treatment of specific diseases. By
the end of the 19th century, the use of ozone to disinfect drinking water from
bacteria and viruses was well established in mainland Europe. In 1892, The
Lancet published an article describing the administration of ozone for treatment
of tuberculosis. In 1902 another article was published claiming success in
treating chronic middle ear deafness with ozone. Ozone was used during the First
World War to disinfect wounds. Currently, some medical professionals use ozone
for a variety of conditions including dental conditions, cancer treatments, and
AIDS. Medical ozone is administered orally in the form of ozonated drinking
water with a high concentration of dissolved ozone. Countries such as Germany,
Russia, and Cuba accept ozone as true and proven therapy for disease; and yet
the United States does not.
There are a variety of ways to use and administer ozone or
ozone-based medicine. It can be done: (1) rectally via catheter, (2) vaginally
via catheter, (3) aurally (in ears) via a stethoscope, and (4) intravenously,
either mixed with the patient's blood, or injected directly.
Ozone has the property to disinfect surfaces and water if it
is administered for at least two hours at a concentration of 1200 parts per
million. It has been proposed as a treatment for AIDS as it does deactivate the
viral particles inside the body, there is many benefits to living patients in
viral load decrease and immune system enhancement to name a few.
Conclusion
Man will always look for opportunities to preserve and to
continue his species. Whether it is by the use of religion, mysticism, or
science, man is not afraid to try. Consequently, man will find some answers to
his questions such as how to prevent aging or death. In his quest for answers,
anything promising will do. In his attempt, nothing would be wasted. So is true
in the case of the ozone therapy. There may be instances and situations which
may offer man a glimpse of hope but the stakes may be high and the effects can
be catastrophic to him. Medical science has proven its usefulness but man is
still stretching the boundaries. The parameters are set yet he embarks on a
chase which may cause him his life. This is man’s stand for the ozone therapy,
something which needs more time, energy, and resources to prove that indeed it
is medically necessary.
