Full Transcript Introduction to ozone therapy 0:00 Welcome back to the Get to The Root podcast with hope for healing. 0:04 Today we are diving into one of the most frequently asked topics in our practice. 0:08 What is ozone and how can it help? 0:11 In this episode Dr. 0:12 K breaks down what ozone actually is, how medical ozone is safely used, and why supporting oxygen utilization matters for healing, 0:21 inflammation, infections, and overall wellness. 0:24 We also address common misconceptions, safety concerns, how ozone can be layered thoughtfully into care. 0:32 If you ever wondered whether ozone is right for you or your family, this episode brings clarity and education. 0:38 But first, a note from Dr. 0:40 K about our sponsor. 0:42 Did you know your genetics can influence how your body responds to viral load? 0:47 There are certain genetic markers like SOCS1 and TRAF1 which play a role in cytokine and inflammatory signaling. 0:58 and how the body holds on to viruses. 1:01 During COVID, we heard all about cytokine storm. 1:06 Well, when you get sick, that's what's happening. 1:08 So for individuals who have these specific genetic vulnerabilities, supporting the buddy and reducing viral load can be especially important. 1:19 And people that have these markers often respond very, very well to ozone therapy as part of a comprehensive care plan. 1:28 If you don't test, you do not know. 1:30 You shouldn't guess. 1:32 That's why we're so grateful to our partnership with Legrand because genetics help us understand why the body responds and the way it does and how to support 1:44 healing at the root. 1:45 Okay, Dr. 1:46 K, I'm so glad that we are getting to talk about this. 1:49 We get so many questions about ozone. 1:53 So let's just dive in to what ozone is and how it can be used and oxygen efficiency and all the buzzwords that are being asked about, 2:02 but we want to answer people's questions. 2:04 And so we've collected these over the past year of just ready to For someone who has only heard the word ozone on the news, 2:14 can you explain what ozone is? 2:17 Oxygen that we breathe are two oxygen molecules together. 2:23 Ozone, we don't breathe ozone in through our nose and into our lungs because it's an irritant.
What ozone is and how medical ozone is made 2:29 But when you hear about the ozone layer on news that's where pollution in the environment is degrading the ozone layer. 2:38 So, ozone is three little oxygen molecules. 2:42 But think about that fresh rain smell. 2:44 That's ozone. 2:46 I love that. 2:47 So how then is medical grade ozone either different or made and how is it going to be different from like the ozone in the air quality that we see about? 2:59 That's a great question. 3:00 So ozone can be made from oxygen in a small device called an ozone generator. 3:09 And when you do medical grade ozone, you can create it and use it in the syringe or you could put it into a bubbler that goes into the ears or up the nose 3:24 when it's bubbled through an oil. 3:27 So that's the difference and it's a certain concentration and its based on age and weight and condition. 3:37 So medical grade ozone is made using a thing called an ozone generator. 3:44 And the extra ozone, is degraded or broken down also in the device. 3:53 I love that. 3:53 Okay. 3:54 So then why, I mean, the question is why are we trying to increase and why we are using ozone? 4:01 Like what does ozone do in the body when used in either the IV or the nose bubbler or what is ozone doing? 4:10 Well, to answer that question, we need to step back a little bit and talk about something else. 4:17 Ozone is good for everyone. 4:21 Pain is the absence of oxygen. 4:25 There are little things in our body called mitochondria that make energy or ATP. 4:31 That's where that oxygen goes to make and to promote healing and help our bodies. 4:38 Okay, so then what is difference between enough oxygen to live versus optimal oxygen thrive? 4:45 All right, so if you have pain, you're not utilizing the oxygen in your body correctly. 4:53 If and you are not driving down inflammation in the body. 4:58 So when you had this supercharged ozonide from ozone, and your mitochondria are using those oxygen molecules appropriately, 5:13 then you're able to become pain-free, or you should, because any disease, any ITIS, meaning inflammation, there's poor oxygen utilization going on in the 5:31 body at the cellular level. 5:34 Okay, so I really love that. 5:35 So then maybe you could get into either some conditions or environmental concerns that are main reasons why our bodies can't use oxygen efficiently. 5:44 Whether that's diet or stress or toxin, sleep or certain health conditions, what could cause that ineffectiveness of using oxygen? 5:53 That is a really good question. 5:54 When you think about the toxic burden that our body has or the infectious burden our our bodies have.
Why ozone supports oxygen utilization and healing 6:02 So maybe you're fighting off different viruses. 6:05 You know, the thing about viruses is that they get us and they just set up housekeeping in our and they can become reactivated. 6:15 So, Epstein-Barr virus is a really great example of that. 6:19 And think about chickenpox. 6:21 If you've had chicken pox when you're a kid and the virus lives in a nerve root, Then as an adult, you can get something called shingles or a child can 6:32 shingle too. 6:32 It's where the virus reactivates and it comes out in a nerve. 6:36 So where you're not utilizing oxygen appropriately is any medical condition where have an infection. 6:46 It can also be Lyme disease, mycoplasma pneumoniae. 6:51 It could be strep, group A beta hemolytic strept that leads to brain inflammation called pandas. 6:59 So any infectious thing. 7:01 And then the other side of the house is just toxic burden. 7:05 There's a little crossover because these bugs also can make various toxins. 7:11 One more condition where you're not utilizing oxygen well, is where you live inside a water damaged building and your whole immune system is totally overwhelmed 7:26 and unable to make enough ATP or oxygen. 7:31 It's like your brain shuts down. 7:32 You've got brain fog, you can't think. 7:35 So pain, infection, it's environmental and toxic burden, infectious and You talked a lot about the infection and these bigger things like Lyme disease 7:51 or toxins that are coming from like infections that were living in the body and all of those things. 7:58 But I was just wondering, is there anything that is like maybe the stress of the world or the way we eat or even just the day-to-day life? 8:07 Does that compromise the ways the bodies utilizes oxygen and oxygen's ability to create a pain-free environment? 8:14 Yes, let's just back up the very simple things. 8:18 Being surrounded by electromagnetic fields all the time, devices everywhere, that's going to decrease our body's ability to utilize oxygen. 8:28 If we eat foods that are chocked full of dyes and preservatives that aren't real living food, there's something that you could catch, 8:37 something you can pick, bright colored foods, so if you put garbage in, then you're going to create more inflammation so you don't have to have some big, 8:49 bad, yucky, horrible disease to, uh, have low oxygen utilization. 8:56 That actually speaks to why you feel so strongly about this treatment benefiting everyone, right? 9:04 Because the day-to-day life, like we do not expect people to stay away from all things all the time. 9:12 There's just not a way to do that, right? 9:14 And so that's where you can see the benefits of just you walk through, even if you ate perfectly, did perfectly.
What reduces oxygen efficiency in the body 9:20 You are being, I don't know, like inundated with so many different things that can cause your body system to be overwhelmed and overloaded. 9:30 And that when we say ozone's for everyone, that really comes from depending on where are and come from. 9:36 So I really appreciate you tying those dots together. 9:40 A word, I think you said, inundated, let's think about assaulted. 9:44 Oh, yeah. 9:47 Like you walk past a man that has this heavy cologne and it's like you're just... 9:54 I can't breathe. 9:55 Especially with people who have multiple chemical sensitivity, right? 9:58 Their bodies are like, and I mean, we have patients who are, like I love all my family and relatives, but all the different smells that come in for the 10:08 holidays can be really overwhelming to the system. 10:10 Yeah, it's like in our office we're like don't wear colognes, don' wear perfumes, too many people. 10:16 You know, it's multiple chemicals. 10:19 Or they get a migraine. 10:21 So all the things that we deal with on a daily basis, inflammatory foods, the scents and the odors and body care products and things like that, 10:31 and just stress. 10:33 Stress, that is so powerful. 10:37 And even You know, as you think about your family of origin and, you know just different things trigger these memories. 10:46 It's literally a visceral response that you get when you about certain things. 10:52 And so I think more now than ever the emotional and the mental and spiritual trauma that people go through on a daily basis. 11:02 And, you know, even to drugs, I mean, pharmaceutical agents, cause oxidative stress, we need them. 11:10 Some are really good. 11:11 So what there are, that's the point, is that they are needed sometimes. 11:16 But how do we help the body recover after the fact, right? 11:19 How do get the bodies to be optimized after-the-fact? 11:22 throwing the baby out with the bathwater. 11:24 It is figuring out the partnership and we use the words layering method a lot. 11:29 We use all these terminologies because it is both and not only. 11:34 And I really love that you provide that I think clarity where some people will go to one extreme or the other, you provide that like, 11:43 no, let's work together. 11:44 Let's see how this can partner together and these treatments and things can be layered well. 11:49 I love that. 11:50 Okay. 11:51 You mentioned this earlier. 11:52 And so I'd really love to talk about this just a bit, which is ozone has a reputation for being irritating to the lungs, 12:00 right? 12:00 And so I think sometimes when people hear ozone, they freak out. 12:03 But how do we address the concerns about safety and proper use to ensure that ozone is not entering the lung? 12:09 Right. 12:09 We don't inhale ozone. 12:11 That's just all there is to it. 12:13 So when it comes to potentially trying to treat a sinus infection or an ear infection, or throat infections, just think about your little kids when they 12:27 go to daycare or preschool or elementary school. 12:30 They're not just exposed to the kids in their class, they're exposed all the bugs that their siblings and their parents are exposed too. 12:39 So you can bubble ozone through olive oil and then breathe it in through a nasal cannula. 12:51 The other thing is if a child can hold their breath, and usually by about six or so, a childhood can't hold her breath at least 10 seconds. 13:01 You know, they're learning how to blow bubbles in the swimming pool. 13:04 So we use ozone here in The Office when Any kiddo has a respiratory tract infection, and we encourage families that want to think outside the box if they 13:17 don't want give their kids antibiotics every time they get an ear infection. 13:22 Using a homosome generator is just a great way to knock these bugs out without creating drug resistance. 13:29 That's a huge problem that we have. 13:31 So you can put it into the ear. 13:35 It's colorless, it's heavier than air, and we pull it out into a syringe from the ozone generator and put a little bit of olive oil in the air canal and 13:47 just hold it in there 10 seconds. 13:49 And you do that three times on each side. 13:52 Now for the nose, you breathe in. 13:55 You hold your breath, and only if you can hold you breath do we do this. 14:00 But it also takes a little practice too. 14:02 So you're saying we use it with the ears for many ages, but we don't start it in the nose until a person can know that they can't hold their breath for 14:12 how long? 14:13 For about 10 seconds. 14:15 Okay. 14:15 Thank you. 14:16 I love it. 14:17 Cause that's where it's different. 14:19 Yeah. 14:19 You have to breathe in, hold your breath for 10 seconds and stop up one side of the nostril. 14:26 And then you use a syringe and we pull the ozone into it and put it into the nose hold it for 10 seconds, and then you breathe out through your mouth. 14:38 And the nice thing is, is if you do it in the ears, it goes down the eustachian tubes and down into the back of the throat, 14:47 but also it's going to hit the adenoidal tissue, which is up high in the nasopharynx, we call it. 14:56 And then if you're breathing it, not breathing, it's only if it is bubbled through the olive oil. 15:05 You can start that at any age through that olive oils. 15:10 If you've got a little one and you can have them sit, you may need to hold them. 15:17 read to them, do something with them for 15 minutes or so, you can bubble the ozone through the nasal cannula too. 15:26 I love that. 15:29 Okay, let's get into some of the more technical, like you described the ozon-generator and all this stuff, but why is it so important that you use like
Safety, delivery methods, and proper use 15:37 pure oxygen and a high quality generator? 15:40 Like what could happen and maybe some concerns we would have by just buying some random one off the road or something? 15:47 Well, medical grade oxygen is what is used and it has to be. 15:52 If you don't use pure medical-grade oxygen, your ozone generator may explode and you can destroy the ozone-generator. 16:02 And you do not want to have anything in there that will do that. 16:06 So we do want exploding ozone generators. 16:11 I was like, man, like if I, yes, that convinced me enough, Dr. 16:18 Gay. 16:20 Okay, next up, we talk a lot about genetics at Hope for Healing because it's so impactful. 16:25 I wondered if there was anything that genetics or the genetics we specifically look at at hope for healing that would tell someone that they were a good 16:34 candidate for ozone. 16:37 That is a superb question because when we look at genetics, the inflammatory markers, even if you have like a healthy child, 16:53 But if you see that they have very exaggerated inflammatory responses, meaning, wow, they're going to have an explosive response, 17:02 or if they can't turn inflammation off, then ozone is going be a very good tool in the arsenal. 17:10 And there are even some genetic markers. 17:13 There's one called SOCS1. 17:15 Cytokine signaling is what it has to do with cytokines or inflammatory messengers. 17:21 And there's another genetic marker called TRAF1 that if you hold on to viruses and it's slammed shut into the cells, that those folks are in desperate need. 17:36 They do very, very well with ozone to kind of help decrease the viral load in their body. 17:43 not only does ozone, it acts like this supercharged oxygen that goes to our mitochondria, those little batteries or powerhouses of the cells to make more ATP. 17:55 And it also has to do with, well, its all about something called NAD and NAH and the cycle. 18:04 But the benefit of ozone is that it disrupts the bacterial cell walls, so it causes them to break open and die. 18:18 And it disruption the viral envelope around various viruses. 18:23 And then for parasites or single-celled, well, single celled yeast and multicellular fungi, it disrupts those cell walls and membranes. 18:35 And for the parasites it does the same thing. 18:38 Now, I like to call it God's perfect molecule because it doesn't destroy healthy bugs in our gut or in your body. 18:49 We call those commensals when we talk about the GI tract and even other places in the body, so bad organisms create bad chemicals or bad toxins, 19:03 bad inflammatory signaling molecules. 19:09 So we call those interleukins and pro-inflammatory cytokines. 19:23 producing those cytokines and inflammatory pro-inflammatory cytocines, and it selectively kills those, which is incredible. 19:34 So it doesn't kill the good bugs, like it's not going to kill your probiotic. 19:38 I love that. 19:40 No, yeah, that's super important. 19:43 Pretty cool. 19:44 You can ozonate water, drink ozinated water and you can also put it in the ears, you could put up the nose but you're not breathing it and remember. 19:57 And then if you have really severe skin problems, you can even purchase what's called the body bag. 20:04 Like people with gangrene, shingles, severe eczema, healing, wound healing. 20:11 Those kinds of things. 20:13 The applications are incredible. 20:16 They are incredible. 20:19 And for some of those ones that you're thinking topically, would you think about something like ozonated olive oil would be a good benefit? 20:26 So I'm just thinking like for people who have like, my kid will not sit still for a body bag. 20:31 Like, do they have things that we could just put on topical? 20:35 Yes, that's one of our favorite go-to. 20:37 So like from newborn babies, we recommend ozinated coconut oil or ozoneated, olive and you can apply that to diaper rashes. 20:48 It's good for fungus, it's for bacteria, and it is gentle, even though it has an oil. 20:58 So what it will do is penetrate deep into the pores, start killing the bad guys. 21:04 The skin makes layer initially a little bit, And then it starts to get better after about two to three weeks of use. 21:12 And you would think, well, I don't want to put an oil on my face when I'm battling acne. 21:17 But it's actually so beneficial. 21:21 A little goes a long way. 21:23 Oh, my gosh. 21:24 Yes, a tiny amount goes very, very far. 21:29 I've noticed when i've heard patients who are like, it just didn't work. 21:33 Can you show me how much you're using? 21:34 And I was like oh, you could use a quarter of that. 21:37 Like, because it is in a carrier oil, it spreads very, very well. 21:42 And so if you're having any issues, you are like, I tried it and it didn't work. 21:46 It was like just dial back and you'll see some great improvement. 21:51 Okay, so you talked about something that I think was really great. 21:54 So at Hope for Healing, and I love that you've talked a lot about the benefits and amazing, but what I really love about us is we really like educating
Genetics, candidate selection, and ozone benefits 22:01 from both sides of the perspective. 22:03 We don't want someone to like Google and see all these terrible things without being very honest about what's going on. 22:09 So let's start off first and foremost with what are the main contraindications for Ozone to make someone maybe not a good candidate for ozone? 22:20 Well, there's very few contraindications, but one of them is having a platelet count less than 30,000. Why? 22:28 We use a tiny amount of heparin when we pull the blood out of the body and we also prime our tubing because in addition to taking some blood, 22:41 putting the ozone gas in it, and as soon as it hits the It becomes a very stable molecule called the nosonide, which we'll talk about in a little bit, 22:50 but then we put it back in the body. 22:52 We also, if people are on blood thinners, we need to know about that because that little tiny bit of heparin, If someone is bleeding very, 23:03 very easily, We don't want to promote any more bleeding. 23:08 If you're on an anticoagulant like Warfarin, Coumadin, Lovenox, those kinds of things, we're going to want to know about that. 23:16 But it just depends how much you are on, why you on it, that kind of a thing. 23:22 So a platelet count less than 30,000 and then also blood antICOAGULANTS. 23:28 So maybe there are some situations that are not contraindications, meaning they'd still be a great candidate, but we're going to use a little bit more 23:36 caution with ozone therapy and specifically when it comes to IV ozone. 23:41 Yes. 23:42 Well, many, people are incredibly sensitive to many things. 23:48 So with folks that tell us, you know, I take a tiny bit of something and I react crazy, we're just a little more cautious with them. 24:00 and then we're also going to set them up to have less of a reaction. 24:05 So when those bugs in the body die and they release toxins, or maybe you're just doing it for general well-being, quarterly to come in and improve your 24:24 oxygen utilization and delivery to all of your tissues and to help your brain and your body really come online. 24:33 You can have reactions. 24:35 So, we use things to minimize the reaction supplementation. 24:41 We like herbals here, too, that have excellent science to back them up. 24:46 So we just listen to the patient and keep that in mind when we do that. 24:54 Folks that had those multiple chemical sensitivities, you want to take it a little more low and slow when you do I love that. 25:02 And so one of the other things that I want to touch on is, because you did talk about the die-off reactions, and so we know that one those reactions can 25:12 be what is called a Herxheimer reaction and a die off. 25:15 So can you explain what a herxhimer is and maybe what are some symptoms of a hersheimer action that we like to prepare people for? 25:24 Well, I wouldn't rely on Dr. 25:26 Google for this, but in the medical community, when we talk about this what that was named after two doctors, Dr Jarosz and Dr Herxheimer, 25:36 they saw that when people received a shot of penicillin to kill syphilis in people, the reaction was they felt very poorly. 25:50 They had headaches. 25:53 were very fatigued, maybe had low-grade fever, chills, were just tired and worn out. 26:00 And it's because the penicillin caused the syphilis to die and it released biotoxins. 26:06 Well, when you're talking about a jar-ish Herxheimer reaction in relationship to other organisms that might be dying or going away, 26:16 it should really only last about three days or so. 26:20 meaning you might feel not so good the day of the IV, ozone, or the next day, but you should start to feel better a few days later. 26:31 Now, if you've been sick for a long time or you are dealing with, say, Lyme disease or Bartonella or Babesia or another type of an infection, 26:42 mycoplasma, Pans Pandas type stuff, because we do this IV therapy for children here in our office, is that it may take several treatments before they start 26:59 to turn the corner and get better. 27:03 So those reactions can be headaches, irritability, fatigue, maybe a low-grade fever, chills, just really feeling bad. 27:18 And you think, well, what good is this therapy? 27:20 But it's like, no, it is doing good under the hood. 27:24 Now, we always stack IV therapy right after that, that a little vitamin C or some glutathione, something that's going to lower the inflammation in the 27:38 body and replete some of the nutrients that your body is used up trying to kill the bad guys. 27:46 So we stack them together. 27:48 We don't want to separate it, not at all, because we want the person to feel better more rapidly and communication is really critical too. 27:57 But we also want to set people up for success with these things that stop those reactions. 28:03 Yes, I love that. 28:05 And what I think I loved about what you said is communication as key. 28:08 because I have spoken so many people who have done this therapy and everybody is a little different where some people did the first two and three and didn't 28:18 have any reaction, but the fourth one was like, oh, my body said, I need a break for a second and we have tools to either one, 28:26 okay, we're going to keep you at a dosage or we are not going increase the amount of ozone.
Herxheimer reactions and detox support 28:31 And again, this very communal and conversation to be able to say, how are you feeling? 28:37 and being super honest about that has helped our patients and non-patients alike who have tried this particular treatment succeed in the treatment, 28:45 right? 28:46 Because we don't want you feeling miserable. 28:47 The point is, and I really love that you mentioned the IV therapy after and how that's super, because we did talk about oxidative stress and this will 28:59 cause your body to fight and cause it to stress, but to cool it with the vitamin C that we put in that along with other things. 29:05 So thank you for bringing that up. 29:07 And the partnering of these two treatments is really important. 29:13 I was thinking about some of the various patients that we see that do IV ozone, and you can have seizure disorders, you could have had traumatic brain injuries. 29:30 concussions and, you know, cognitive decline. 29:34 You don't have to have infections. 29:36 And this is, I mean, ozone is great for everyone, but when you've had something like that, it's not a one and done treatment. 29:44 Now, the only exception that I will say is that if you have got COVID, or flu and are doing terrible and you want to come in and get ozone with IV therapy, 29:56 many times that will cause the red blood cells that are sticking together because we know about clots and things like that with COVID and then just how 30:07 influenza can have a cytokine storm and just go crazy or have trouble sleeping, those kinds of things. 30:12 That's the only type of time where I talk about, you know, a little one and done, it just really flips you back so much more rapidly. 30:22 So we're talking like chronic versus acute type things that were like, okay, that makes a lot of sense. 30:28 Like an acute COVID infection and acute influenza, You can come in, have a treatment and man, can get yourself back on your feet really rapidly instead 30:39 of being out for the count. 30:40 for two weeks or getting a secondary bacterial pneumonia because the virus caused you to get so much mucus and garbage in your chest. 30:48 So the therapeutic benefits are outstanding. 30:55 They really are. 30:56 That's really great. 30:57 I also really love that you mentioned that because I do think some of our COVID patients and our flu patients that will come in due to the acute nature 31:05 of it, will feel this ramp up of It and then it will like cool down. 31:09 So they'll be like, I felt like it was done really fast and it ramps up and Then it cools off and they have been like oh wow, 31:17 i'm feeling much better and They don't have the linger as much, right? 31:21 The thing that like you're over it but you don t feel over season in their health. 31:27 so that's been really fun to hear patients talk about that. 31:31 Speaking of the herxheimer reaction and the die-off reactions and all of that, going back to genetics again, will or can your genetics help us know more 31:43 about if you're more likely to have a herxymer reaction? 31:47 Yes, so individuals who have problems in their detoxification pathways are much more likely to have herxheimer reactions because their body makes faulty 32:03 glutathione and it Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant and so they don't have the ability to dial down and it will clean the buddy out afterwards 32:16 and to decrease inflammation. 32:18 So if you have those genetic vulnerabilities with detoxification, that's one of the things that moves you into illness and that can predispose you to having No, 32:34 I really love that you kind of broke down how we can start looking into those things and how, if you're a patient who's already done genetics and now you 32:42 feel like ozone is something you'd like to layer into your treatment, that we kind look at it more in-depth view that your diving into. 32:50 Okay, next up, can you explain a little bit about how ozone supports the immune system, like the inflammation pathways, or even the detox processes? 33:02 Okay, great question. 33:05 So, as far as the inflammation goes, so we're stepping back because we know that ozone, when ozone gas is added to red blood cells or even put in the ears 33:21 or you do the insufflations, not inhalations but insuffleations that when the ozone hits protein or fat, it becomes an ozonide. 33:34 And that ozonoid is very stable, and that's what has the ability to eradicate these organisms. 33:42 A lot of times people say, well, if ozone's so good for everyone, why doesn't everyone do it? 33:48 Well, first of all, there's no money in it, because you cannot patent oxygen. 33:53 Okay. 33:54 And I just think if a family wants to be a biohacking family, they need to have an ozone generator at home. 34:03 It's going to save their kids from developing, you know, multiple drug resistances.
Immune support, misconceptions, and brain recovery 34:10 We mentioned that's a huge problem. 34:12 And also, when you think about when a kiddo gets sick, and then mom and dad lose work hours, then you're taking sick days, 34:23 it passes around the whole family and everybody gets so it's a therapy that's so, so helpful. 34:31 Now, how does ozone affect the immune system? 34:35 Well, if it eradicates organisms, Then you're healthier. 34:42 Okay. 34:43 Now, as far as ozone and I think you asked me about detoxification. 34:50 Well, our mitochondria being the little batteries of the powerhouses of this cells assist the body in cleaning the cells out. 35:00 you're moving things through the body to go through, the liver, kidneys, skin, lungs, to take those toxins and get rid of them. 35:11 So that's kind of how Ozone does that. 35:13 Well, and I love that you mentioned that because those are all pathways that, I mean, that we'll find on our Wellness Blueprint, 35:19 right? 35:19 So when you know that your body doesn't detox properly or you don't know how to clear or lower inflammation and when your know your bodies immune system, 35:29 is either overactive or just won't activate at all, you know very well, like if you're a patient, and you are like, wait, 35:36 hold on, that could help this. 35:38 And I think that's the beauty of the systems working together and how ozone doesn't, I mean, kind of what you were saying before, 35:49 It only targets the bad guys, not the good guys. 35:51 And so it can help produce a very therapeutic approach to overall wellness and addressing all the systems. 35:58 So I really appreciate you diving into that. 36:00 Okay. 36:01 Before we wrap up, what is one of the biggest misconceptions about ozone that you wish more people understood differently? 36:11 That is bad. 36:12 I mean, all they hear about is on the news when the ozone layer is being degraded by pollution, but it's actually this incredible molecule that has so 36:25 much power. 36:26 And remember, it is good for everybody because everyone can drink ozonated water. 36:33 And the beautiful thing is it's just so helpful for so many things. 36:42 One thing that I'm really excited about, we care for a lot of people here in our practice that have something called chronic inflammatory response syndrome 36:53 or biotoxin illness. 36:55 And this can be caused by Lyme disease. 36:57 We call that chronic Inflammatory Response Post-Lyme Syndrome. 37:01 or from living within the interior of a water-damaged building. 37:05 And if they've had an MRI or something called a neuroquant done of their brain, it can show that certain parts of the brain have become atrophied. 37:15 Well, when you think about atrophy in the brains, I mean, that's devastating even for children, which we see. 37:22 So one of things that we started doing is when we show that there is atrophy, we're having parents, even if they're little dinks, 37:32 that can't hold their breath and do the intranasal ozone insufflations, but they can do nasal cannula. 37:40 If they do the air insufflations in conjunction with another therapy to—it's a peptide that helps improve brain volume. 37:53 It's called vasoactive intestinal plypeptide. 37:55 When you put ozone with that, air-insufflation, you can restore volume and functioning Well, you can store mitochondrial functioning in the brain. 38:08 So it's just such a great therapy to put in conjunction with recovery from chronic inflammatory response and to do it a lot quicker. 38:19 That's a therapy that I'm super excited about. 38:22 Well thank you so much for your time. 38:24 It is super exciting and we can't wait to learn more about ozone therapy. 38:29 And as always, thank Thank you for listening to today's episode. 38:38 We hope this conversation helped bring understanding and confidence around ozone therapy and how it can support the body at a cellular level. 38:46 Don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode and to check the show notes for the links to the products discussed today. 38:53 If you want to learn more about Hope for Healing and How It Can Support Your Health Journey, sign up for a free welcome call.
