Biochemical and Biophysiological Actions of Ozone
by Tom Harrelson
Ozone functions as a antiseptic, disinfectant, deodorant,
bactericide, virucide, fungicide, paraciticide, protozoacide,
hemostat, analgesic, circulatory stimulant, wound cleansing agent,
and wound healing agent. Ozone performs these functions through
ionization, subatomic exchange (oxidation), electron/free radical
reactions, electrovoltaic stimulus, and electromagnetic reactions
resulting in profuse photon and energy transfer. Among the
numerous actions of OZONE are the following:
1. Accelerates glycolysis (breakdown of glycogen) in RBCs, thus
OZONE:
a. Increases the release of O2 from the hemoglobin in the
blood to the tissues.
b. Enhances formation of Acetyl Coenzyme-A, which is vital in
metabolic detoxification.
c. Influences the mitochrondrial transport system, thus
enhancing the metabolism of all cells and safeguarding
against mutagenic changes.
d. Increases red blood cell pliability. blood fluidity, and
arterial PO2 (oxygen content) and decreases rouleaux
clumping, which interferes with the normal functioning of
the red blood cell metabloism.
2. Reduces NAPH production and oxidizes cytochromes.
3. Stimulates the reticulo-endothelial system, thus rebuilding
tissue.
4. Chelates Iron and Calcium, thereby blocking the formation of
"free radicals".
5. Increases ATP production, thus allowing for the production of
Catalase.
6. Activates the enzymes involved in peroxide or oxygen "free
radical" destruction (i.e.- Glutathione, Catalase, and
S.O.D.).
7. Disrupts the lipid cell membranes of anerobic and/or partially
anerobic pathogenic organisms, plus weak and/or defective
cells only by atomic disassociation and solubilization (lipid
peroxidation) due to the action of the hydroxyperoxides
formed, thereby exposing and destroying them.
8. Increases leukocytosis (production of the white blood cells)
and phagocytosis (an action whereby certain white blood cells
destroy foreign matter.
9. Stimulates the production of INTERFERON and INTERLEUKIN-II.
10. Opens the circular plasmid DNA, which lessens bacterial
proliferation.
