How can Ozone Therapy help you?

So, you have been researching ozone therapy treatments and wondering if ozone can help you reach your health and wellness goals. What does that mean? What is ozone and how does Meeting Point Health use it to improve patient outcomes?

It’s first important to recognize how overburdened our immune systems are given our industrialized lifestyles and environments. The modern human is constantly detoxifying from plastics, mycotoxins, heavy metals, emissions, herbicides, pesticides and other chemicals in alarming quantities. We are also heavily exposed to bacteria, yeast, mold, viruses and parasites. When coupled with trauma, stress, and genetic variations, our immune cells must keep up with the pathogenic and toxic burden. This causes our immune cells to age and degenerate faster than they should, and these are often the reasons why we succumb to chronic disease.

Enter Ozone Therapy. Ozone is a molecule made up of three oxygen atoms. It occurs in nature at very low levels. In fact, about 90% of the ozone we encounter on earth comes from natural sources such as lightning and UV rays from the sun interacting with oxygen. When used medicinally, ozone creates controlled oxidative stress to stimulate your own immune system. Ozone therapy can treat a variety of conditions that can benefit from increased lymphoid cell production, blood circulation, oxygenation, detoxification, and natural antioxidant production.

Benefits of Ozone Therapy

Below is a short list of some of the ways ozone therapy works in the body. When using ozone therapy at Meeting Point Health in Philadelphia, we are considering all these benefits when prescribing a treatment plan. Ozone therapy:

  • Inactivates viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeast and parasites through degradation of their cell walls and inhibiting replication
  • Increases production of antioxidants including glutathione
  • Protects your mitochondrial DNA from damage
  • Stabilizes lysosomes (digestive organelles in the cell that clean up dead cells)
  • Produces natural peroxides that create a controlled amount of oxidative stress. This process stimulates your immune system to clean up trash, and thereby reduces inflammation and improves circulation
  • Increases production of prostacyline, a vasodilator, thereby increasing blood circulation
  • Increased red blood cell glycolysis rate which allows more oxygenation to tissues.
  • Stimulates the production of various enzymes which act as free radical scavengers and cell membrane protectors (glutathione peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase.)
  • Reacts with nitric oxide to form peroxynitrite, a potent oxidant necessary for killing pathogens and cancerous cells
  • Induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in tumor cells
  • Enhances the Krebs cycle (metabolism) and stimulates production of NAD, which is necessary for detoxification and production of ATP (cell energy)
  • Releases and activates TNF-alpha (tumor necrosis factor)

What can OZone Treat?

If you have been suffering from any of the following conditions, we will likely prescribe ozone therapy either by infusion, insufflation or injection:

  • Lyme and other co-infections
  • Mold Toxicity and other Biotoxin Illness
  • Adjunct Cancer Therapy (ozone helps potentiate chemotherapy)
  • Treating skin disorders such as acne, dermatitis and psoriasis
  • Easing inflammation from arthritis
  • Repairing immune function in autoimmune diseases
  • Other chronic viral or bacterial infections such as in PANS/PANDAS
  • Lowering chronic pain associated with degenerative spine conditions, herniated discs, and osteoarthritis

If you are unsure whether ozone treatment is best for your condition, be sure to talk about all of the benefits and risks with one of our providers before beginning your ozone therapy treatments in Philadelphia!

how is ozone therapy performed?

At Meeting Point Health, we use ozone to treat conditions that are not responding to traditional treatment or for which no other viable option exists. This includes Biotoxin illnesses such as Lyme, mold toxicity, and candidiasis. As an oxidative therapy, it is also very effective in autoimmune conditions, cardiovascular conditions, and as an adjunct cancer therapy to chemo. Ozone can be administered to the body many different ways:

This is the most powerful and systemic way that we administer ozone. First our nurses draw blood, then add it to a bag of saline along with medical grade oxygen and ozone, where the ozone bonds to the hemoglobin in the blood. The hyper- oxygenated blood is dripped back to you via infusion.

We frequently use UV light in combination with autohemotherapy. UV light kills viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc. UBI is a process of exposing blood to this UV light, to stimulate the immune system, and kill any pathogens within it. We perform this procedure by sending a small amount of blood, that is also bonded with ozone, through special tubing underneath UV A, B, and C bulbs for exposure.

UBI therapy has been used for over 75 years all over the world, and there are no known serious side effects. The end result is a bolstered immune system that is actively fighting off disease and ridding the body of pathogens and toxins.

Comparable to a 10-pass ozone treatment in which 20 ml of blood is ozonated 10 times and readministered back to you (for a total of 200 ml.) Many ozone experts, such as Robert Rowan and Howard Liebowitz, MD, use this technique.

However, the SOPMed group pioneered an alternative version that allows for an automated system to draw 300 ml of blood and ozononated but in one “pass.” We call this HDO3UV and the blood is combined with UV light therapy twice, once as it is being pumped out and again before it is infused back to you. If we make a direct comparison, one drawback to the 10-Pass is that it does not include UV light. Ozone is much more effective when combined with UV light therapy. In fact, when we use high dose, we often see no die-off reactions in our patients.

Meaning “to blow gas”. Ozone can be given via insufflation into a body cavity where it is absorbed by the blood stream, killing pathogens and stimulating your immune system. If there is an infection of any kind in the cavity in which ozone is being insufflated, it will also kill those microbes and help to break down biofilms.

Ear – Useful in conditions related to the ear and cranial nerves. Ozone is bubbled into water and the steam is administered via stethoscope.
Nasal – Useful in conditions related to the ear, nose, sinuses and throat. Also especially helpful with brain fog. Ozone is diffused into oil and administered via nasal cannula.
Rectal – Useful in many intestinal disorders such as diverticulitis, Crohn’s, SIBO and IBS. Ozone is inflated into a bag and self-administered with a catheter (think of it like an enema of oxygen)
Vaginal – Useful in conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, fibroids. Ozone is inflated into a bag and self-administered with a catheter.

Ozone is bubbled into water or olive oil, then ingested orally or applied topically over a wound. This method of treatment can be used for a more localized area and has been found to be effective in treating wounds, acne, psoriasis and other dermatological conditions. Using ozone or UV light on these areas will allow for healing without leaving scars by killing off the bacteria causing inflammation.

For painful joint and musculoskeletal conditions, ozone gas can be combined with prolotherapy to immediately decrease inflammation and stimulate healing in the area. This is called Prolozone and is done under ultrasound-guidance by Dr. Matta.

There are outdated methods of direct intravenous ozone administration that are now considered by the International Scientific Committee on Ozone to be ill-advised due to the rate of adverse effects. For this reason, we use autohemotherapy for our intravenous ozone treatments. This method allows us to administer ozone to the blood with very low risk of adverse event.

The most common side effects of ozone therapy of any modality is a Herxheimer reaction. This is a response to the release of endotoxins from dying pathogens that can cause flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, headache and fatigue. These typically resolve within hours or days after treatment, and can be mitigated with some of our other therapies.

With insufflations, ozone gas passes through mucous membranes in the nasal cavity so one may experience burning inside the nose at times due to production of single oxygen molecules, which is acidic.

Ozone therapy is beneficial in those cases involving chronic infection, chronic toxicity and autoimmune issues. If your condition is immune-oriented, you will likely benefit from Ozone therapy. In addition, ozone is also an anti-aging therapy for those seeking hyper-wellness.
Yes, many of our patients travel to our office from out of state or abroad. Your patient care coordinator will help set up your treatment schedule, in addition to assisting you with planning your travel arrangements. The frequency of treatments depends largely on your situation.
Ozone is a very powerful antioxidant, so it works by creating oxidative stress on the disease or condition that you are seeking to improve. It then gets rid of these toxins and restores balance back into your body at the cellular level which ultimately reduces inflammation levels in tissues throughout your whole body! Another benefit of ozone therapy is its ability to reduce pain and improve circulation. So one of our practitioners has recommended a course of ozone therapy treatments to help push you toward your health and wellness goals. What does that mean? What is ozone and how does Meeting Point Health use it improve patient outcomes? Below we will discuss some of the most commonly asked questions.

Meeting Point Health does not accept insurance.

Our practitioners and staff fully understand and empathize with the challenges that patients face as they make financial decisions for proper health care. Our practice is very different from a conventional medical practice in many ways, but the time spent with each patient is usually 30-90 minutes. Visits with a physician covered by insurance generally allow for less than 10 minutes in total! Conventional medical practices that take insurance maintain brief office visits and high patient loads for this reason. We cannot provide the expert care that every one of our patients deserves under those circumstances.

Insurance also dictates the types of treatments and order of treatments patients can receive for a particular condition.

Opting out of insurance allows the patient and the doctor to maintain their medical autonomy, which is imperative to ensure you get the right treatment at the right time and the right dose.

To start your journey to relief, schedule a consultation with our team. During your initial visit, we’ll assess your medical history, perform a thorough evaluation, and develop a customized treatment plan to address your specific needs.

Ozone is, essentially, supercharged oxygen. It is formed when the oxygen we breathe is charged with high voltage electricity or ultraviolet (UV) light. As a result, each ozone molecule contains three oxygen atoms rather than two.

While ozone is highly reactive, ozone gas can be safely harnessed for therapeutic purposes. Ozone therapy is often used to support healing, reduce inflammation, and fight infections.

Oxygen is essential for cellular energy, immune response, and tissue repair. Ozone therapy works by delivering an infusion of oxygen-rich gas to stimulate healing and improve overall function.

Ozone therapy improves the function of red blood cells, helping them deliver oxygen more efficiently throughout the body. It also supports mitochondrial activity, boosting cellular energy, and strengthens the immune system’s ability to combat viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. Additionally, ozone helps to boost antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds in the body.

Some of the conditions that benefit from ozone therapy include:

  • Allergies
  • Arthritis
  • Autoimmune disease
  • Cancer
  • Chronic infections
  • Dental disease
  • Diabetes
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Musculoskeletal injuries and disorders

When administered properly, ozone therapy has very few side effects. Inhaling ozone gas can be harmful and should always be avoided. While some patients report feeling tired after treatment, this typically resolves after the first few treatments. Most report feeling energized and well after therapy.

The frequency and number of ozone treatments needed depends on your goals and the method used:

  • Ozone injections: we typically recommend 3–4 sessions, spaced two weeks apart. Many patients begin to see improvement after just one or two treatments.
  • Other methods (e.g., autohemotherapy, insufflation): A standard course of 12 sessions is recommended. Additional rounds may be needed for chronic or complex conditions.

Treatment costs vary depending on the method and number of sessions. 

Ozone injections start at $750 each while a 12-week course of IV ozone therapy starts around $7,000.
