The 2021 Ozone Convention was an online event diving into wellness with oxidative and supportive therapies. It was the largest online gathering of professionals, practitioners and enthusiasts working with oxidative therapies. The importance of therapies like these is becoming greater as our world in addressing bacteria, virus and mold.

This year the convention was broken down into two groups. One set of presenters had content geared for the public. Another set of presenters offered information about oxidative therapies and how to apply them in a practice setting. Following is a quick overview of some of the presentations.

A New Healthcare System To Deliver a New Wave of Healthcare

More and more we recognize what the content of healthcare should be; more natural treatments, less pharmaceuticals, less invasive approaches, more holistic, preventative therapies, etc.

But, trying to deliver real healthcare through a conventional model is forcing a square through a round hole. Dr. Hansen proposed a new healthcare delivery model to go with the real healthcare content practitioners are eager to provide.

Fascia – A New Paradigm for Understanding and Treating Pain

That which we once thought nothing of and discarded in anatomy class as trash, provides a treasure of information that can teach us better ways to understand and treat pain. Fascia is the most important generator of pain and proprioception in the body. Muscle, fascia, radiating myofascial pain, prolotherapy, trigger point injections, ozonotherapy, PRP injections, acupuncture, and the use of compounding pharmacy take on new meaning with a more up-to-date understanding of anatomy that is based on new techniques of fascia sparing dissection. Contrary to the way pain practitioners have been taught, there is now a need to deemphasize medication and promote non-pharmaceutical treatment options for patients. Specific qualities and symptoms of pain blur as we reconsider our understanding of neuropathic and sympathetically mediated pain. Changing this perspective will allow the medical community to rethink the circle of injury, pain, and healing in a way that could revolutionize medical practice and better the lives of patients.

Joy Kong, MD, President, American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy

A Novel Clinical Application of Light, Ozone and Blood

The ten pass high dose ozone has been around for a number of years. The process is somewhat difficult, time consuming and expensive. A new therapy called HD O3UV combines the positive and synergistic benefits of ozone and UV light into one seamless and less expensive therapy. The combination of 70,000 mcg of ozone and UV to a much smaller amount of blood has shown success in over 13,000 treatments.

Ozone and Ubi Work Synergistically Together: A Novel Clinical Application of Light, Ozone and Blood

A recent Harvard Medical School review discussed the potential of UBI (Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation) as an alternative approach to current methods used to treat infections, as an immune-modulating therapy and as a method for normalizing blood parameters. More than a decade ago the bio-company Vasogen invested more than $ 225 million to prove the efficacy of combining therapies. Their 24 process patents validate that UV light and ozone are synergistic in the fighting of chronic disease. This is documented in the recent book on the therapy called Invisible Cure.
