3 criteria in selecting what particular alternative, “unproven” therapies I intend to use with my patients:– 1. They must be safer than the

approved therapies that are recommended

– 2. They must have some evidence, anecdotal or otherwise, or efficacy

– 3. They must be cost effective


What is Medical Ozone?What is Medical Ozone?

Oxygen/Ozone mixture– 98% Oxygen, 2% Ozone

Convert into active Ozonides which bind especially to Lipids and Amino Acids

The peroxides (Ozonides) (-C-O2) are short chained and can easily penetrate cellular membranes

And oxidize NADH to NAD

O3+ -C=C- -C-O3-C- -CO-CO2 -C=O+ -C-O2


Ozone Forms PeroxidesOzone Forms Peroxides

Reacts ionically with double bonds to produce peroxides called Ozonides

Most Ozonides are formed from the short chained lipids in cell membranes

Ozonides are stable for days to weeks, easily penetrate cell membranes, and are selectively reactive

Once in the cells these ozonides oxidize NADH to NAD

Mitochondrial FactsMitochondrial Facts

Metabolically active cells contain thousands of mitochondria, which make up ~40% of the cytoplasm. There are said to be 10 million billion mitochondria in an adult human (i.e. ~10% of our body weight)

Mitochondria are not static. Triggered by a variety of physiological stimuli and differentiation states they are in constant movement within cells, and are constantly changing in size, number and mass

17


Mitochondrial Facts (cont.)Mitochondrial Facts (cont.) Mitochondria divide during mitosis, providing

daughter cells with a normal complement of mitochondria. Mitochondria also proliferate during myogenesis and following exercise

The number of mitochondria is controlled by T3, which specifically induces mitochondrial division

Genetic forms of obesity including diabetes have defective mitochondrial activity leading to a higher ratio of weight gain to food intake. Experimental evidence indicate the increasing mitochondrial activity in these patients will cure them

18


Oxygen UtilizationOxygen Utilization As oxygen utilization losses efficiency, the

rate of free radical damage escalates, and ultimately leads to mitochondrial decay

Accumulating mitochondrial decay is the central lesion in the aging process and in degenerative disease. This is why you can’t live forever

Your risk for premature aging and degenerative disease is determined by your starting point (mitochondrial genetics) and your rate of mitochondrial decay

Your starting point is predetermined and fixed. What is not inevitable is the rate of decay

19


Aging and Oxygen UtilizationAging and Oxygen Utilization

20


Oxygen Utilization (Aerobic Capacity)Oxygen Utilization (Aerobic Capacity) Aging and the diseases of aging

are caused primarily by decreased oxygen utilization

Decreased oxygen utilization causes degenerative disease through increased free radical formation and decreased antioxidant buffering capacity

Leads to mitochondrial decay, “functional hypoxia”

21


HypoxiaHypoxia

Generates excessive free radicals Deprives cells of vital functions

including repair mechanisms, membrane polarization, and enzyme synthesis. This includes the synthesis of anti-oxidant enzymes

Destroys mitochondria

22


““Functional Hypoxia”Functional Hypoxia”

Decreased Oxygen Utilization is the

Metabolic Equivalent of

Hypoxia

23


Oxygen Utilization (Aerobic Capacity)Oxygen Utilization (Aerobic Capacity)

The process whereby oxygen metabolizes either fat or glucose into water, heat, NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), free radicals, carbon dioxide, and ATP

Oxygen works through NAD and ATP (and to a lesser degree, NADP and FAD). These “oxygen intermediates” are the bottom line for all cellular function

24


Aerobic CapacityAerobic Capacity

Maximal aerobic capacity is a measurement of oxygen utilization

Even highly trained marathon runners show a decrease in oxygen utilization with age. Unlike all of the other parameters of aging, it cannot be trained away

“Maximal aerobic capacity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, cognitive dysfunction, and all cause mortality.”

“Meta-analysis of the age associated decline in maximal aerobic capacity in men: relation to training status.”

Wilson & Tanaka, Am. J. Physiol. Heart Circ. Physiol.Vol. 278: 829-834, 2000

25


Oxidative Damage and Mitochondrial DecayOxidative Damage and Mitochondrial Decay

“Oxidants generated by mitochondria appear to be the major source of oxidative lesions that accumulate with age.”

“These lesions cause the age related deficits in mitochondrial function which are associated with the generalized physiological decline known as aging.”

These oxidative lesions are caused by reduced oxygen utilization

“Oxidative Damage and Mitochondrial Decay in Aging.”

Shigenaga MK, Hagen TM, Ames BN

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA

Vol. 91, 10771-78, Nov. 1994

26


Free Radical Damage is Caused By Free Radical Damage is Caused By “Excessive” Radical Activity Secondary to “Excessive” Radical Activity Secondary to

Decreased Oxygen UtilizationDecreased Oxygen Utilization

Decreased oxygen utilization creates “functional hypoxia” which accelerates free radical formation, while exhausting anti-oxidant buffering capacity

“Decreased oxygen utilization is toxic to the cell by exacerbating free radical generation in membranes housing electron transfer assemblies.”

Antioxidant AdaptationLevine & Kidd

27


Mitochondrial Rate of DecayMitochondrial Rate of Decay

This is determined by Oxygen Utilization, which is the same thing as your NAD/NADH ratio

Your starting point is predetermined and fixed

What is not inevitable is the rate of decay.

The better your Oxygen Utilization, the longer and better your life will be

If you are sick, your NAD/NADH ratio is decreased. This can be reversed with Ozone.

28


Oxygen Utilization and OzoneOxygen Utilization and Ozone

Since decreased oxygen utilization is the primary cause of degenerative disease, the treatment of all diseases including aging, auto-immune disorders, cancer, ASCVD, etc. is maximally enhanced in the presence of optimal oxygen utilization. This is why ozone therapy should be used in virtually every patient you see.

29


NAD/NADH RatioNAD/NADH Ratio

Oxygen does not directly catalyze cellular reactions. It indirectly catalyzes them using NAD

When NAD catalyzes a reaction, it is converted to NADH

Oxygen then recycles the NADH back to NAD

The problem with decreased oxygen utilization is that it results in decreased levels of NAD combined with increased levels of NADH

30


NAD/NADH Ratio (cont.)NAD/NADH Ratio (cont.)

As the NAD/NADH ratio decreases, all cellular activity slows down

Less NADH is produced in the Krebs Cycle

The decrease in NADH further decreases the ratio because there is no NADH for oxygen to react with and form NAD

The decreasing NAD/NADH ratio spirals downward in a vicious cycle. We call this aging

NAD/NADH reactions are reversed in order to normalize the ratio

31


The Cost of Reversing NAD/NADH The Cost of Reversing NAD/NADH ReactionsReactions

Increased lactic acidosis- 19 times! Decreased apoptosis leading to

cancer Increased protein catabolism Increased intra-cellular free radical

stress Increased extracellular free radical

stress via PMOR (Plasma Membrane Oxidoreductase) system

32


Ozone TherapyOzone Therapy

Chronically ill patients have decreased NAD/NADH ratios.

Ozone activates all three levels of energy production– 1. Increases acetyl coenzyme A to

fuel the Kreb Cycle– 2. Increases the function of the Kreb

Cycle– 3. Increases the function of oxidative

phosphorylation Studies show it raises ATP as much as

40%

The NAD/NADH ratio “plays a crucial role in cellular energy metabolism, and dysregulated NAD/NADH ratio is implicated in metabolic syndrome.”

Used beta-lapachone to oxidize NADH in diet-induced obesity mice

NADH oxidation “strongly provoked mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in vitro and in vivo, and dramatically ameliorated their key symptoms such as increased adiposity, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and fatty liver.”

“The treated mice also showed higher expresssions of the genes related to mitochondrial energy metabolism (PGC-1alpha, NRF-1) and caloric restriction (Sirt1), consistent with the increased mitochondrial biogensis and energy expenditure.”

“Conclusions: Pharmacological activation of NADH oxidation by NQO1 resolves obesity and related phenotypes in mice, opening the possibility that it may provide the basis for a new therapy for the treatment of metabolic syndrome.”

What Causes Chronic Pain?What Causes Chronic Pain? Oxygen tension in ligaments and

joints is only 1/10th of that of other tissues

With aging, O2 Utilization is compromised

Trauma produces edema and inflammation which decreases O2 Utilization leading to increased lactic acid, free radical damage, necrosis, sensory irritation with chronic pain

65


Chronic Pain Happens LocallyChronic Pain Happens Locally

Chronic localized pain is caused by localized areas of chronically decreased oxygen utilization

Vicious cycle starts with trauma or infection

Edema, inflammation, hyper-coagulation, and endothelial damage lead to a further localized decrease in oxygen utilization

Decreased oxygen utilization disables the healing mechanism, and condition becomes chronic resulting in permanent edema, inflammation, hyper-coagulation, endothelial damage, and pain

66


How Does Prolozone Work?How Does Prolozone Work?

Works by improving Oxygen Utilization in a localized area of damaged tissue allowing it to heal and restore full function
