OZ-PO-050: THE USE OF OZONE IN COLONIC THERAPY.

Dirk Yow. Tahoma Clinic, Kent, Washington, USA.

This paper reviews the outcome of a combination of ozone therapy with colonics administered (herbal enemas) through the methods passed on in the naturopathic tradition in the USA, in the last three years. The relationship of ozone and its oxidative properties along side an ability to enhance the colonyc hydrotherapy responses in a variety of factors related to various symptoms and ailments will be discuss. 250 patients (men and women with an age range between 15 and 85) were received into therapy in the Colon Therapy Department by self referral, after an evaluation of a health questionnaire performed by the medical director, or by referral from a physician. Of the patients treated the major indications were: gastro-intestinal complaints, cutaneous conditions, malaise and chronic fatigue, arthritic conditions and others. It is postulated that the methods of achieving benefit accrue through: 1.Drainage and treatment of infected tissues, 2. Breaking the formation of vicious cycles in autointoxification, 3. Building up immunity against infection, 4.Treating specific infectious organisms, 5. Defining secondary foci and primary foci. The clinical benefit ratio for this form of therapy, as an adjunct to other modalities, is favorable.
