Ozone Treatment [C]

Ozone treatment is an excellent way to treat serious conditions like this, especially when antibiotics fail. In one case, a 54-year-old diabetic with foot ulcer and osteomyelitis was told by his family doctor that his foot needed to be amputated. He opted instead for autohemotherapy and ozone therapy (limb bagging with ozone). After 10 treatments, he was cured.

Case Study

Diabetes and Infection

A 48-year-old woman visited our office complaining of fatigue and ‘spaciness’. She had no history of any chronic health concerns. Upon physical exam, she was obese, had mild edema, and no flank pain. Considering her physical body type, insulin resistance and NIDDM is suspected. Considering her spaciness, it may be due to some blood sugar irregularity, her mild edema, and her debilitating fatigue. An infection is suspected. The lab results revealed a urinary tract infection, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia.
     The following three treatment programs were prescribed, with good results.

Program 1:
  • Uva ursi, 1 teaspoon, with three drops of thyme essential oil every 2 hours for 3 days. This successfully treated the urinary tract infection.

Program 2:
  • Syzigium jambulana, Gymnema sylvestre: 700 mg capsules, 3 capsules, 3 times a day.
  • Dietary elimination of all simple carbohydrates.
  • Her blood sugar dropped 30% within 8 weeks.

Program 3:
  • Inositol hexaniacinate, 1 gram, 3 times a day for 3 months.
  Cholesterol and triglyceride levels were normalized after 3 months.

Clinical Trial

Neuroinfected Diabetic Feet

A study at the National Institute of Angiology and Vascular Surgery in Havana examined the effect of various treatments on patients suffering from neuroinfected diabetic feet. Group one patients (15) we treated exclusively with ozone treatments, group 2 patients (13) were treated with simple cane sugar syrup (a traditional Cuban remedy for infections), and group three patients were treated exclusively with antibiotics. Treatments were analyzed to determine if they prevented amputation or if amputations was needed as the final resort.80
