Abstract
Autohemotherapy with ozone has been used for four decades with encouraging results but, owing to the lack of clinical studies, it has never been adopt ed by orthodox medicine. Confident of the valid principles of ozone therapy we have endeavoured to increase ifs therapeutic efficacy Over a ten-year p eriod we have developed an apparatus that makes if possible to treat large quantifies of blood with ozone in extracorporeal circulation (extracorporea l blood oxigenation and ozonation EBOO). One of us volunteered to test the system and after six treatments noted the disappearance of two lipomas. Thi s prompted us to treat a patient with Madelung disease and several patients with atherosclerotic vasculopathy. Besides showing therapeutic effects, th e preliminary results indicate that EBOO is clinically valid, without side- effects and worthy of testing in various diseases.
