Ulcers of the leg and foot can be very difficult to cure through conventional medical techniques. They are extremely painful, debilitating and can greatly reduce the quality of life of the sufferer.
Another complication is that if ulcers fail to heal they can become cancerous.
Causes of Leg Ulcers
Leg ulcers are caused by deterioration in the veins and arteries; between ankle and knee it is usually a vein problem, whilst ulcers on the foot are arterial. People with reduced mobility may develop ulceration in the “gaiter” area because of high blood pressure in the veins resulting from inadequate pumping by the calf muscles.
Current medical treatments include compression bandaging, antibiotics and treating the underlying arterial or venous diseases through surgery.
Oxygen-Ozone Therapy for Leg Ulcers
Oxygen-Ozone Therapy is based on the premise that the body needs to have sufficient oxygen at cellular level in order to function properly. Modern living can deplete cell oxygen levels in various ways:
- Processed food lacks oxygen
- Tap water processing reduces oxygen
- Lack of exercise causes poor oxygenation
- Polluted air contains carbon monoxide which lowers oxygen levels in the blood
Breakdown of Aerobic Respiration
When there is insufficient oxygen at cell level the normal form of respiration – aerobic – cannot take place. According to Dr. Otto Warberg, Nobel prize winning scientist, once this happens, cells go into fermentation mode. The conditions become conducive for bacteria, fungi, viruses and cancer cells.
It then becomes very difficult for the body to naturally rebalance and it has been suggested that Oxygen Ozone Therapy can be used to oxygenate the body.
What is Ozone?
Ozone is a molecule of oxygen (O2) with an added Oxygen atom. This is achieved by passing oxygen through an ozone generator. The resultant molecule – O3 – can be used in various ways to oxygenate the blood.
Treatment of Ulcers with O3 Therapy
Doctors who have used this therapy over the last two decades are claiming great success in healing leg ulcers and other debilitating conditions. The methods used include the following;
- Injecting ozone into the ulcerated area
- Infusing blood with Ozone
- Bathing the affected limb in O3 gas
- Using Ozonated water for soaking the limb
- Using Ozonated olive oil as a massage oil
Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen Peroxide has been used for a long time as a bleach and disinfectant. Food grade H2O2 has apparently been used with some success in oxygenating the body. However this has to be done with care and ideally under the supervision of a trained medical practitioner.
