Ozone Therapy
I sent an email requesting the whole review of the abstract below. I keep finding papers reporting successful applications of ozone therapies to autoimmune conditions. I'll put the best ones on this thread.

Mechanisms of pathophysiology of blood vessels in patients with multiple sclerosis treated with ozone therapy: a systematic review. Ameli J1, Banki A, Khorvash F, Simonetti V, Jafari NJ, Izadi M.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) defines as an intricate disease with numerous pathophysiological processes, including: inflammation, demyelination, oxidative stress, axonal damage, and repair mechanisms that interfere in this disease and highly related to the pathogenesis of MS. In parallel, recent studies have shown that the ozone administration could be very useful in treating neurological disorders and inflammatory and degenerative neurological diseases. In this review, we examine the recent literature on the pathophysiology of blood vessels in patients with multiple sclerosis treated with ozone therapy.

Autohemotherapy with ozone as a possible effective treatment for Fibromyalgia.
CONCLUSIONS:
The autohemotherapy with ozone in patients with FM showed an important decline of tender points and FIQ score, as well as a decrease of oxidative stress levels. This treatment allows patients to face life with greater vitality and less drug use, diminishing harmful side effects. Further investigation should be carried out, including groups with more patients and clinical trials, to elucidate the effect of ozone therapy in patients suffering from FM.

Any connection to Retinol ?
I remember my holistic dentist saying something about the use of ozone for gingivitis?

I'm beginning to think so. I'll be posting more papers I've found, particularly one review that covers the autoimmune and ozone studies to date. Since Grant's and other's evidence that retinoids cause autoimmune pathology is so overwhelming, the logical connection that ozone therapy, not to mention Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation, is somehow impacting them is fairly compelling, seeing as how they are resolving a variety of autoimmune symptoms. Ozone therapy may just be a band-aid, stimulating the counter-inflammatory pathways, but it may be acting as a catabolic agent directly on say retinoic acid itself. I've yet to see the VA-toxicity part of this potential equation in any of the ozone papers I've read. It's kind of like playing Mahjong, seeing the same enzymatic pathways and other metabolic constituents popping-up in both retinoic acid papers and ozone therapy papers. I did a half-hour session in a ozone steam sauna today and had a mildly notable reaction to it. It stirred up something from over 30 years ago that I had almost forgotten. Quite a surprise.
Here's the ozone paper that has links to autoimmune and ozone-therapy studies.

Ozone therapy: a potential therapeutic adjunct for improving female reproductive health
Ozone is normally present as a gas made of three atoms of oxygen with a cyclic structure (Figure 1).1 Ozone is an elemental form of oxygen occurring naturally in the Earth’s atmosphere2 surrounding the earth and shielding it from the damaging solar ultraviolet radiation.2 Ozone is a much stronger oxidant than oxygen, and is unstable at high concentrations to result in its decomposing into oxygen molecules (half-life of 40 minutes at 20oC).3 It has been shown to break down into two atoms of regular oxygen by giving up an atom of singlet oxygen over a period of 20 to 30 minutes. As a highly reactive molecule, ozone exhibits strong bactericidal, fungicidal, antiviral, and anti-protozoal activities.3,4,5,6 In aqueous form, ozone could have therapeutic effects.7 In fact, ozone was used for the first time to disinfect operating rooms in 1856 and subsequently for water treatment in 1860.3,4,5,6,8 So far, data have shown that ozone could improve several diseases such as abscesses,9,10 acne,11 eczema,12 psoriasis,13 human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome,14,15,16,17 fibromyalgia,18 arthritis,19 asthma,20 cancers,7,21 inflammation,22 cardiac disease,23 liver disorders,24,25 uveitis,26 cystitis,27 chronic wounds,28 dyslipidemia,29 osteomyelitis,30 Raynaud’s disease,31 sepsis,32 and sinusitis.33
Interesting stuff, it may well play out there is a connection.The general lack of consensus that VA is a toxin probably hinders many investigative scientists from acknowledging what's staring at them.
Could Dino's ideas about breathing and the ozone ideas be in the same vein?
I've been on ozone therapy for about 4 years. I had 7 root canals that had all become infected in addition to infections that spread to my jaw bones. I had 6 of the treated teeth removed plus multiple surgeries to remove bone. Other issues intervened before I had the last treated tooth removed and I've been controlling the infection with ozone injections and infusions every 2 to 4 weeks. It never helped with my fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue symptoms but it kept the infection in my tooth under control. However once I started the vitamin A elimination diet, all outward signs of infection are gone. I've gone 3 months without a treatment and hope I won't need them anymore.
that sounds like it's been a pretty rough road Judy. My periodontal history is similar, but without the root-canal part. Lots of abscesses, trying to save teeth, bridge-work, crowns, etc. One time I was so high on nitrous oxide during a surgical procedure that I wondered if I had ever had a life where I was not in the dentist chair and if it wasn't just some dystopian alternate reality they wouldn't let me escape from. That's really interesting how reducing your VA has changed things. Looking back I'm thinking it's possible that my perio issues were VA driven. It's hard to say, but your experience adds weight to the idea. All this stuff gets so complicated. Fighting the battle for health seems like a war, with a series of engagements, each necessary in itself, but one's faced with having to have a overall strategy, in addition to good tactics that enable us to live to fight another day. It's like @bludicka says about it being more like peeling an onion. When I got my amalgams removed in the 90's, it was by a country dentist who had done a seminar with Hal Huggins, but I think he might have slept through the part about acquiring good equipment. He did use a dam, but had his 12 year old daughter holding the nozzle of a shop-vac to suck-away the mercury particles and vapors. So, even the people we're relying on to help get us out of the mess we're in, are themselves often wounded-healers, on their own learning-curves. This guy described his mercury-toxicity at a local talk in a bookstore and how he had to move to the country because of it. I'm just hoping for his daughters sake that the shop-vac had some kind of special filter in it. I think I was also reading George Meinig's Root Canal Cover-Up at the time. The copyright on my old copy is 1994. That was a bombshell for me at the time. Anyway, thought I'd yak about all of that since you've been in the trenches and probably feel battle-scarred like me. People who haven't survived the dental part of the game, just don't know what they've been missing, ha. I joke with my dentist when he does his obligatory sales-pitch for implants, that by my calculations I have enough teeth left to make it to 85. Maybe if I get my VA low enough and do some ozone therapy I'll even grow some back. Hang in there.
