Ozone Gas For Covid-19 Treatment By Prof. Dr. Luis Gavin, King’s College Hospital, Dubai

      

 

What is Ozone gas?

Ozone gas is a form of oxygen; it is colorless and made up of three oxygen atoms.

 

Ozone and SARS-Cov-2

 Ozone can inactivate viruses via direct oxidation of its components. However, the virucidal activity in vivo becomes uncertain when viruses are in biological fluids or even worse, when they are intracellular (pneumocytes, hepatocytes, epithelia, CD4+ lymphocytes, monocytes, glial and neuronal cells) because the potent antioxidant system protects viral integrity.

 

That is why it is illogical to use direct IV injection of gas or other non-recommended methods of application of ozone.

 

Ozone Therapy represents a useful complementary therapy but neither ozone nor H2O2 reach sufficient concentrations in tissues because free pathogens are protected by plasma antioxidants and intracellular viruses are inaccessible.

The treatment requires Medical Ozone – which is a mixture of low concentrations of ozone with medicinal oxygen produced with an approved medical device.

This treatment requires Medical ozone, which is a mixture of low concentrations of ozone with medicinal oxygen produced with an approved medical device and allowing

200 ml volume is below the maximum amount of blood removable, to be mixed up with ozone, which is taken from a central line

Blood will flow by gravity or vacuum, depending on the model of kit to the reservoir, in which it will mix with an identical volume of gas. Ozonized blood will be reintroduced to the bloodstream by the same route.

 

Oxygen-ozone Therapy certainly improves oxygenation. Patients with SARS are prone to have mild non-specific hepatitis, lung fibrosis, and renal failure may be present. Ozone Therapy stabilizes hepatic metabolism and fibrinogen, and prothrombin plasma levels tend to normalize in infected patients, suggesting an improvement of the hepatic protein synthesis. There is much research demonstrating the protective effect of ozone in preventing oxidative damage to the heart, liver, lung, and renal tissue.

 

Systemic Ozone Therapy can be potentially useful in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 – SARS-CoV-2 – which is the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019, the respiratory illness responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The rationale and mechanism of action have already been proven clinically with other viral infections and have been shown to be highly effective in research studies.

 

The mechanism of action is as follows:  1) the induction of adaptation to oxidative stress, hence a re-equilibration of the cellular redox state 2) the induction of IFN-gamma and proinflammatory cytokines 3) the increase of blood flow and tissue oxygenation to vital organs 4) it has the potential to act as an auto-vaccine when administered in the form of minor autohemotherapy.
