Ozone and oxidation therapies as a solution to the emerging crisis in infectious disease management: a review of current knowledge and experience

What Researchers Did

This review article explored the current knowledge and experience regarding ozone and oxidation therapies as potential solutions for managing emerging infectious diseases.

What They Found

The review highlights that ozone therapy, a germicide rather than an antibiotic, has shown an extremely high safety profile with minimal reported side effects beyond vein irritation. It also notes that Ebola, for example, has a 65% mortality rate and has caused over 2000 deaths, with recent reports indicating favorable responses to ozone therapy for both bacterial and viral diseases.

Canadian Relevance

This study has no direct Canadian connection as it is a general review of global infectious disease challenges and potential therapies.

Study Limitations

As a review, this study synthesizes existing literature and does not present new primary research or clinical trial data on the efficacy of ozone therapy.
