Ozone Therapy

About this approach

Ozone therapy is a broad label for procedures involving a highly reactive form of oxygen. Clinics may describe treating blood outside the body before returning it, or other forms of exposure. These procedures differ from prescribed oxygen and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Ozone has not been established as a treatment that controls cancer or improves survival. Before considering any procedure.

Where it fits: Unproven cancer intervention with route-dependent safety risks

Where this treatment is used

The biological idea that an oxidizing substance might affect microbes or cells does not demonstrate a useful cancer treatment in patients. US device-labeling regulations describe ozone as a toxic gas without a known useful medical application. FDA has also taken action over ozone and ultraviolet autohemotherapy devices marketed without the required authorization. Claims about detoxification, oxygenating tumors or activating immunity require controlled human evidence for the exact procedure, not testimonials or measurements taken immediately after a session.

Procedure and practical considerations

Inhaled ozone can injure the lungs, and serious symptoms can appear after exposure rather than immediately. Blood-handling procedures add questions about sterile equipment, vascular access and how complications are managed. Different delivery methods cannot be assumed to share a safety profile. A description such as medical grade does not remove these concerns.
