Viral hepatitis B and C viruses are a real health problem that is increasingly present in Romania. This disease has a high rate of chronicity so it affects over time work capacity and quality of life.
The treatment of hepatitis involves the involvement of interferon and ribavirin, a variant with important benefits, but which can cause considerable side effects. Moreover, hepatitis can lead to liver cirrhosis, liver cancer or even the death of the affected person.
Various studies have been conducted over the past decade to evaluate the role of ozone therapy in HCV (hepatitis C virus), according to the MN Mawsouf Cancer Institute and TT Tanbouli Medical Clinics in Cairo.
Following this study in which the treatment was applied for 16 weeks, it was found that the viral load of hepatitis decreased in approximately 92% of cases. After another 24 weeks of ozone therapy, the viral presence continued to decline in 95% of cases, until abnormal enzyme levels returned to normal.
Today, ozone therapy is a modern method of treating viral hepatitis B and C due to the recognized antiviral action of ozone, due to low costs compared to interferon treatment and due to the maximum safety therapeutic method that is performed under medical supervision and is closely monitored.
Ozone therapy refers to the sum of therapies that use a mixture of medical oxygen (O2) and ozone (O3), having a strong anti-inflammatory effect both when administered topically by injection and generally, systemically, when administered intravenously.
The medical ozone used in treatments differs from the ozone in the terrestrial stratosphere by the way it is produced. An approved ozone generator converts medical oxygen into ozone by passing it through an ultraviolet band.
Ozone therapy has an antioxidant and immunomodulatory effect. An important aspect of this is that it has no side effects, so there is a very large margin of safety compared to drug treatments.
Important benefits of ozone therapy in the treatment of hepatitis:
- It affects the integrity of the virus and its reproductive cycle.
- Eliminates the possibility of the virus to attach to the liver cell.
- Restores the flexibility and ability to circulate oxygen to the red blood cells.
- It increases the oxygen saturation of the blood and decreases its viscosity, so that the tissues benefit from better oxygenation.
- It destroys malignant cells and inhibits tumor metabolism by affecting their membranes.
- It stimulates the production of cytokines and the function of leukocytes so that the viral load decreases significantly.
- Significantly improves liver enzyme levels.
In addition to this disease, ozone therapy is indicated in many more medical problems, with many benefits and considerable results. You can find out what situations you can rely on ozone therapy. Here you will find a specialized and empathetic medical team, which will always turn its attention to the needs of patients.
Therefore, ozone therapy is a scientifically proven therapeutic alternative that is of utmost importance in the treatment of viral hepatitis B and C and other diseases, having beneficial effects on the evolution of the disease and the patient’s condition.
