Ozone therapy has the ability to boost the immune system by stimulating the production of white blood cells in addition to regulating inflammation. As a potent regulator of the immune system, ozone will calm the immune system down if it is over-active in cases of auto-immune diseases, or will stimulate the immune system in cases where it is under-active (e.g. cancer and chronic infections). Join me as I speak with Dr. Derek Guillory, MD, as we unravel the science and mechanisms behind two incredibly powerful alternative treatment modalities – hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and ozone therapy.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

•  What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy & how does it differ from ozone therapy?
• The most common applications for which hyperbaric oxygen & ozone are used
• The use of HBO & ozone therapy in cancer care
•  Why cancer cells thrive in areas of low oxygen
• The most effective forms of administering ozone
• The importance of treating the person, not the disease
• & More
