Benefits of Ozone Therapy

In recent years, the medical community has witnessed a surge in interest surrounding ozone therapy, particularly ozone insufflation. This innovative treatment involves the introduction of ozone gas into various bodily systems, offering a spectrum of potential health benefits. From immune modulation to tissue regeneration, ozone insufflation holds promise as a versatile therapeutic approach. This article delves into the intricacies of ozone insufflation, exploring its mechanisms, applications, and emerging research findings. 


Understanding Ozone Insufflation: Ozone, a triatomic form of oxygen, exhibits potent oxidative properties that have been harnessed for therapeutic purposes. Ozone therapy encompasses various administration methods, including ozonated water, ozone sauna, and ozone insufflation. Unlike other delivery methods, ozone insufflation involves the direct introduction of ozone gas into the body via rectal, vaginal, sinus, breathing treatments, or ear routes. 

Mechanisms of Action: The therapeutic effects of ozone insufflation are multifaceted, attributed to its diverse mechanisms of action. Upon administration, ozone interacts with biomolecules, triggering a cascade of biological responses. One primary mechanism involves the modulation of the immune system, stimulating the release of cytokines and enhancing immune surveillance. Additionally, ozone promotes oxygen utilization at the cellular level, bolstering mitochondrial function and optimizing cellular metabolism. Its antimicrobial properties render it effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi, making it a valuable adjunct in addressing various infections.  In this age of pandemic viruses and antibiotic-resistant superbugs, ozone should be integrated into our health regimens as there are no resistant organisms noted to date.


Clinical Applications: Ozone insufflation has garnered attention across a spectrum of medical specialties for its broad therapeutic potential. In integrative medicine, it is utilized as an adjunctive therapy for conditions ranging from chronic infections to autoimmune disorders. Research suggests its efficacy in managing gastrointestinal conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Furthermore, ozone insufflation shows promise in promoting wound healing and tissue repair, making it relevant in dermatology and wound care.

Emerging Research and Safety Considerations: While the therapeutic benefits of ozone insufflation are promising, ongoing research aims to elucidate its efficacy across diverse clinical scenarios. Preliminary studies suggest its potential to mitigate oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. However, safety remains paramount in the application of ozone therapy. Proper dosing, administration techniques, and patient selection are crucial to minimize adverse effects and maximize therapeutic outcomes. 

Ozone insufflation represents a compelling avenue in the realm of complementary and alternative medicine, offering a non-invasive approach to address various health concerns. Its diverse mechanisms of action and broad clinical applications underscore its potential as a valuable therapeutic modality. As research continues to unravel the intricacies of ozone therapy, collaboration between conventional and integrative healthcare practitioners will be pivotal in harnessing its full therapeutic potential for the benefit of patients worldwide.

Colorectal Cancer Deaths on the Rise Among Young Adults

The American Cancer Society recently released its Cancer Statistics 2024 report showing that while overall US cancer deaths continue to decline, some specific cancers like colorectal cancer have rapidly shifted, mortality patterns in adults younger than 50. In the late 1990s, colorectal cancer was the 4th leading cause of cancer-related death for people younger than 50. Now it’s the leading cause of cancer in men under 50, the 2nd leading cause in women and the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The cancer trend is particularly pronounced in developed regions, such as North America, Australia and Western Europe. Yale Medicine doctor warns those as young as 20 should be aware of cancer warning signs. The increase in cancers among younger people is still a bit of a medical mystery. It’s urgent that we better understand these changes in death rates, as well as related changes in cancer diagnoses. Most people in their 20s, 30s or 40s don’t think about being diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The truth is that colorectal cancer has been on the rise in young adults for years. Yale Medical surgeons urge those younger than 45 to talk to their doctors about any suspicious symptoms, such as frequent diarrhea or constipation, stomach pain, cramps, and/or bloating, rectal bleeding, bloody stool, fatigue, unexplained weight loss or continued feeling as though the bowels are not empty. About 15 years ago, Yale Medicine surgeon Vikram Reddy, MD, PhD, conducted one of the first studies identifying the rising incidence of colorectal cancer among young people. “We’re still seeing the trend, so it wasn’t temporary,” says Dr. Reddy. In a single week the practice reported seven patients between 18 and 35 years old, diagnosed with rectal cancer. Even though if caught early, colorectal cancer is often highly treatable, the diagnosis can still be a significant health challenge for Gen Z, Millennials, and Gen X. A cancer diagnosis can interrupt careers, impact personal finances and force unexpected critical decisions such as preserving sperm or eggs in case treatment impacts fertility. Why the Uptick? Researches are still not sure why colorectal cancer numbers are rising in young people.. “Increasing colorectal cancer incidence in people born after the 1950s for reasons that are currently under investigation by many researchers but may include increased obesity, changes in diet and/or the gut microbiome including highly processed food consumption, a more sedentary lifestyle, overuse of antibiotics, and even gut exposure to microplastics, etc.,” Siegal told Medical News Today. A family history of colorectal cancer, polyps, and inflammatory bowel disease are also risk factors. Up to one third of those diagnosed with cancer before age 50 have a family history or genetic predisposition. Those with these pre-dispositions should begin screening at 45 years of age.  Between the 1960s to early 2010s, alcohol consumption increased in many countries. A recent study found moderate alcohol consumption increased the risk of cancer in women. "We're finding that probably anywhere between 5% to 10% of all cancers worldwide are due to alcohol use," Dr. Suneel Kamath, a GI clinical oncologist at Cleveland Clinic Cancer Center, told "Good Morning America". “The rise in colorectal cancer in people under 50 is the same in men and women, strongly suggesting the cause is not hormonal or endogenous, but due to external environmental or behavioral changes,” she added. Dr. Anton Bilchik, surgical oncologist, Chief of Medicine, and director of the Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Program at Saint John’s Cancer Institute in Santa Monica, CA, who was not involved in this study, said another theory for this rise in colon cancer deaths might be inflammation. “Inflammation has been shown to result in an increase in cardiovascular disease, as well as cancer,” Dr. Bilchik told MNT. “The concern is that a lot of this starts at a very young age and that education needs to start really at preschool in terms of what kids are eating and the importance of not living a sedentary lifestyle,” he added. How can I help protect myself from colon cancer?  When it comes to protecting yourself from colon cancer by actively discuss family history with your primary care physician, don’t ignore changes in bowel habits or anal bleeding and start getting screened at age 45. Dr. Bilchik provided these basic tips for defending against colorectal cancer: • Exercise at least five days a week for 30 to 40 minutes at a time • Avoid or stop smoking • Avoid processed food as much as possible • Limit red meat, as previous research Trusted Source shows that too much red meat is associated with colon cancer • Don’t ignore symptoms such as rectal bleeding, stomach pain, and unexplained weight loss • When you go to a grocery store, shop the outside, where fruits, vegetables, and healthier foods are located, rather than the inside, where a lot of processed foods can be found Probiotics have been shown to have beneficial effects on human health, including antibacterial activity against intestinal pathogens, regulating blood cholesterol levels, reducing the incidence of colitis and inflammation, regulating the immune system, and preventing colon cancer . Don’t hesitate, call now!

Colorectal Cancer Is on the Rise

Did you know that Colorectal Cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide?  Colorectal cancer affects the digestive system including both small and large intestines, as well as the rectum. It is the 3rd most common type of cancer accounting for about 10% of all cancer and because of its high mortality rate, is the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. American Cancer Society (ACS) shows young patients are being diagnosed with colon and rectal cancer at higher rates in the last 25 years making it the leading cause of cancer-related death in men under the age of 50 and the second highest cancer-related death for women under the age of 50. The percentage of colorectal cancer patients between the ages of 20-49 has nearly doubled from 11 percent to 20 percent, according to research published by the American Cancer Society. Colorectal cancer is difficult to diagnose with many cases starting with small clumps of cells that form on the lining of the colon or rectum called polyps causing no symptoms until they begin to grow.  Researchers are unsure why rates are increasing in younger patients but more than half of all cases of colorectal cancer diagnoses are linked to lifestyle factors, including • Excessive alcohol drinking • Lack of physical activity • Smoking • Unhealthy diet  Family history plays a significant role in increasing the risk of developing colorectal cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. People whose parents, sibling, or child is diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer under the age of 50 are as much as four times more likely to develop cancer themselves.  Did you know that most health problems can be traced back to an imbalance in the gut? Intensive research is being conducted to investigate genetic factors and the gut microbiome, which have been changing over time that may increase your risk for colon cancer and other diseases.  Most of us spend very little time thinking about our gut and tend not to think about what we cannot readily see. However, inside your gut is a real living colony of good and bad bacteria and each day is a battle between these bacteria. Unfortunately, if the bad bacteria proliferate, the immune-system can be compromised and your health suffers.  Probiotics are live good bacteria and good yeast that can help restore a thriving colony of good bacteria in your digestive-system keeping your gut healthy so your immune system can fight off intruders and you enjoy wellbeing. Previously it was thought that only potency mattered when it came to probiotics. However, due to the lack of diversity of the guts microbiome research determined we need several different strains of bacteria in a probiotic because different strains do different things for our bodies. There are 8 major roles of probiotics and no one strand does them all. In turn, all these probiotics need food, and not the same type of food for each strand. Vital Flora provides organic fruit and vegetable fiber or prebiotics, in all formulas to feed each strand.  Atlanta Colonic & Massage offers Vital Flora, a complete balanced probiotic solution that address the gut microbiome like no other probiotic on the market today!  Don’t wait, call and purchase yours today!
