OZONE & HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Oxygen therapies (aka oxidative therapies) have been used for over 120 years. They first appeared in mainstream medical journals in 1888. Since that time, many countries around the world have integrated oxidative therapies into their mainstream medical practices as a safe, effective and widely applicable medical therapy that enhances the body’s innate healing powers.
The primary forms of oxidative therapies used extensively today are ozone and hydrogen peroxide. These therapies are at the cutting edge of progressive and integrative medicine, capable of treating and potentially curing a wide variety of acute and chronic illness.

OXIDATIVE THERAPIES: OZONE & HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Oxidative therapies are powerful producers of oxygen. Oxygen is essential for life and we require a continual supply in order to survive. The brain requires over 20 percent of the oxygen taken in by the body. The human body can survive for months without food and only days without water, but only for a few minutes without oxygen.
In the body, oxygen combines with sugars to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy (ATP). ATP is a vital component to our cells and metabolic function – without it, we are dead. Reduction or impairment of ATP production is at the core of symptoms such as fatigue and chronic disease such as immune dysregulation, cancer, heart disease and all of the degenerative processes we associate with aging.
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Biologically, hydrogen peroxide is naturally produced by several systems in the body. Immune cells produce hydrogen peroxide as a first line of defense against invading organisms such as viruses, parasites, bacteria and fungi. It is required for the metabolism of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. It is used by the endocrine system to produce estrogen, progesterone and thyroxin and assists in blood sugar regulation and energy utilization in the cells.
OZONE
Ozone is one of 3 forms of the element oxygen. It is often referred to as “energized oxygen” since it can be produced from electrical sparks and UV light combining with ordinary oxygen. It was first used therapeutically to disinfect wounds during World War I. Ozone was researched considerably in the 1930’s in Germany, where it was successfully used to treat inflammatory bowel disorders, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease and chronic bacterial diarrhea.
In North America and several other countries world wide, ozone is used for its superior sanitation and anti-microbial properties. It has become the element of choice for disinfecting and purifying drinking water and wastewater through a wide variety of applications. Several swimming pools in Canada are now choosing ozonation methods over chlorination for sanitation and disinfectant purposes. It is also widely used for air and odor treatment and food sanitation.

Aesthetic Treatments
Dr. Domzal also offers aesthetic treatments such as:
Morpheus8 for treating fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone
IPL for reducing sun damage, age spots, freckles, redness, rosacea and vascular lesions
Votiva Vaginal Rejuvenation for vaginal dryness, vaginal discomfort, pain with intercourse, impaired sexual function, painful urination and recurrent urinary tract infections
WHAT CONDITIONS CAN BENEFIT FROM OXIDATIVE THERAPIES?
According to the International Bio-Oxidative Medical Foundation, the following conditions or disease have been successfully treated with ozone and hydrogen peroxide:
• Pulmonary Diseases: asthma, bronchiectasis, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, various pneumonias
• Gastrointestinal Disorders: Duodenal ulcers, colitis, gastroenteritis
• Infectious Diseases: acute and chronic viral infections, chronic unresponsive bacterial infections, Epstein-Barr virus (chronic fatigue syndrome), cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, herpes zoster, HIV-related infections, influenza, tic-borne illness (i.e. Lymes disease), systemic chronic candidiasis (candida), fungal infections
• Eye Diseases: Glaucoma, macular degeneration, optic nerve dysfunction
• Dermatological Conditions: Acne, warts, eczema, tinea (fungal infections of the skin), psoriasis, topical staph infections (including MRSA), herpes zoster (shingles)
• Other Diseases and Conditions: Sinusitis, burns and wound-healing, Alzheimer’s disease, cancers (especially of the blood and lymph nodes) chronic pain syndromes, pain of metastatic carcinoma, Parkinson’s disease
• Circulatory and Cardiovascular Diseases: cardiac arrhythmias, heart disease, cerebrovascular disease (stroke and memory loss), coronary spasm (angina), gangrene, peripheral vascular diseases (poor circulation, Raynaud’s disease), temporal arteritis, vascular and cluster headaches.
• Immune Disorders: Diabetes Type (II), hypersensitive reactions, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis
OZONE THERAPY FOR ENHANCED ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE AND ANTI-AGING
Ozone therapy has also been viewed as an important factor in enhancing athletic performance. There are many benefits for athletes, including enhanced tissue oxygenation, increased production of ATP (more energy, faster recovery), reduction of lactic acid build up (preventing sore muscles and improving recovery time after physical exertion). In one study of female gymnasts receiving ozone, results showed that lactic acid levels were approximately 66 percent lower in the group treated with ozone, both after a single session and over 2 months. In addition, the athletic performance scores increased by approximately 30 percent for those treated with ozone.
Due to the undisputed effects of oxidative therapies, these treatments hold tremendous potential as a preventative and anti-aging (or healthy-aging) treatment modality- especially ozone – when used in conjunction with healthy lifestyle practices such as a balanced diet, exercise and stress reduction.
