Part I - Viral (Rickettsial and Chlamydial) Diseases
(VRCDs)
Ozone is very effective in acute and chronic viral diseases
as a virucidal agent in reversing positive antibody tests
and in improving the general health of the animals. Ozone
is the treatment of choice of Equine Infectious Enema (EIA,
Swamp fever) and promptly reverses the clinical symptoms
and a positive Coggins test. Ozone is equally effective
against Equine Ehrlichiosis and Potomac Horse Fever, caused
by the rickettsial agents Ehrlichia equi and E. risticii
respectively, as well as against Equine Encephalomyelitis
(EE) including Eastern (EEE), Western (WEE), Venezuelan
(VEE) and other togaviral and flaviviral EE, Equine Viral
Arteritis, African Horse Sickness (AHS), Equine Herpesvirus
I (EHV-1) infection, Equine Viral Rhinopneumonitis and Myeloencephalopathy,
Equine Influenza and other VRCDs of horses and other animals
including cattle, (e.g. chlamydial abortion from Chlamydia
psittaci, et al.), cats, dogs, sheep, goats, domestic birds
and various zoo animals.
Part II - Respiratory Diseases of Horses
Ozone is effective against respiratory viral infections
(RVIs) (see part I) such as RVIs caused by EHV-1 (rhinopneumonitis),
equine arteritis virus, rhonovirus, influenza as well as
adenovirus pneumonia with combined immunodeficiency in Arabian
foals. Ozone is also effective against viral respiratory
infections with secondary bacterial infection (see part
III) that produces mucopurulent nasal discharge, exacerbates
the cough, and may lead to lung abscessation, pneumonia
or pleurisy. For ozone treatment of COPD (heaves), see part
IV.
Ozone is the treatment of choice for Exercise-Induced Pulmonary
Hemorrhage (EIPH, Epistaxis, "Bleeder"), especially
in States and Countries that do not allow furosemide (LasixR).
In most cases ozone reverses the bronchitis, neovascularization
and fibrosis, and through a homeopathic mechanism, the other
contributory factors of EIPH in "bleeders".
Part III - Bacterial Diseases
Ozone is very effective for acute and chronic bacterial
diseases, including those that do not respond well to antibiotics
such as Glanders (Pseudomonas mallei); Septicemia in foals
(e.g. from E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Actinobacillus spp.);
Leptospirosis (Leptospira interrogans); Listeriosis (Listeria
monocytogenes); ContagiousEquine Metritis (CEM from Taylorella
equigenitalis); retained placenta with consecutive metritis,
septicemia and laminitis; Tularemia (Francisella tularensis);
Clostridial diseases e.g. Tetanus Enterotoxemia (Cl. perfringens
infection); Malignant Edema (Cl. septicum); Botulism and
Infectious Necrotic Hepatitis (Cl. novyi); Lyme Disease
(Borrelia burgdorferi); Actinobaccilosis (e.g. A. equuli
in horses); Anthrax; Melioidosis hematogenous septic polyarthritis
with primary Brucellosis (Brucella melitensis, B. abortus,
B. suis, B. canis, B. ovis, B. neotomae) and others, especially
in valuable race horses and zoo animals.
Part IV - Fungal Diseases
Ozone is effective against systemic Actinomycosis and Candidiasis,
Chromomycosis, North American Blastomycosis, Histoplasmosis,
Aspergillosis and is a valuable adjunct in Chronic Obstructive
ulmonary Disease (COPD, heaves) of horses. In the treatment
of heaves, ozone relieves acute "asthmatic" attacks
and the paroxysmal cough and effectively preverses the allergic
component from inhalation of molds, dust and other air pollution
as well as the triggering respiratory infection.
Part V - Leukemias, Lymphomas and other Malignancies
Ozone is an effective adjunct to high-pH therapy and other
treatment methods of the Life Science Universal (LSU) modalities
for these conditions. Ozone is a valuable adjunct for the
treatment of Equine Sarcoids (generally in younger horses)
and SquamousCell Carcinoma (most frequently in older horses).
Ozone is particularly effective against any blood and malignant
disease caused by viruses and bacteria such as Bovine Leukosis,
Canine Malignant Lymphomas, Feline Lymphosarcoma, Feline
Leukemia and lymphoproliferative disorders in turkeys, chickens
and zoo animals.
Part VI - Rectal and Other Typical Applications
of Ozone
Rectal ozone insufflations are a powerful adjunct to the
treatment of both infectious and noninfectious diseases
of the digestive tract. Ozone is effective in reducing intestinal
parasites (helminths), viruses and rickettsiae (see part
I, e.g. Rotavirus and Ehrlichia in horses), bacteria (see
Part III, e.g. enterotoxigenic E. coli, Salmonella spp.,
Rhodococcus (Corynebacterium equi in horses), protozoa and
fungi (see Part IV, e.g. Eimeria spp. and Aspergillus fumigatus
in horses) and algae (Prototheca spp.). Ozone is effective
in diarrhea and inflammatory bowel disease of horses. Vaginal
ozone insufflations are effective against vaginal Candidiasis
(see Part IV, Vaginitis, Equine Coital Exanthema (EHV-3),
Contagious Equine Metritis (see Part III). Intramammary
ozone application instead of antibiotics is effective for
mastitis in large animals, e.g. mastitis in mares caused
by Streptococcus zooepedemicus, S. equi, S. equisimilis,
S. agalactiae and S. viridans.
Intra-articular ozone is effective for Septic Arthritis
Topical ozone
is effective for dermatomycosis, osteomyelitis and infected
wounds, fistulae (e.g. fistulous withers and poll evil,
i.e. inflammation of supraspinous and supra-atlantal bursae
caused equine and bovine udder diseases.
Ozonated Water (O3 x H2O)
Ozonated water
has obvious multiple beneficial applications in veterinary
medicine and surgery.
Benefits/Contraindications
Important note
from Ozone Services: Recommendations in terms of dosages,
concentrations, volumes and flow rates outlined in Part
VI are extremely high. We suggest starting with more conservative
approach (and increase dosages if necessary later on).
Training/Licensing
Veterinarians
only in the above cases.
