In our posts we repeat again and again that ozone helps and builds the immune system.
The reason ozone works well and supports the immune system function lies in the fact that ozone is an immune system modulator.
In a recent interview Dr. Frank Shallenberger has explained this phenomena closer.
He stated that when we talk about chronically sick people, we need to understand that their health issues are primarily caused by their screwed immune system.
Without going into deep explanation about human immunology those who suffer from diseases commonly experience symptoms that stem from imbalances within the functioning of their immune system, primarily Th1 and Th 2 immune pathway imbalances. Th stands for T-helper cells that are a vital part of the immune system.
Th1 cells are involved in “cell-mediated” (innate immunity), which usually deals with infections by viruses and bacteria. They are the body’s first line of defense against pathogens that get inside our cells. They tend to be pro-inflammatory and are involved in the development of organ-specific autoimmune disease.
Th2 cells are involved in “humoral-mediated” (humoral is derived from the word humus meaning liquid), the back up system, which deals with bacteria, toxins, and allergens. They are responsible for stimulating the production of antibodies in response to extracellular pathogens those found in blood or other body fluids. They tend not to be inflammatory and are involved in systemic autoimmune disease and other chronic conditions. There are many factors that could influence the subtle balance between Th1 and Th2.
That unfavorable shift between these two immune system pathways can be created by multiple factors – stress, nutrition status, toxins (heavy metals, pesticides, petrochemicals), vaccines, parasites.
An exciting news is that ozone therapy by itself is able to solve the immune system shift and imbalance.
The cytokines orchestrate the whole immune system by giving the immune system orders what to do. The immune system is literally run by cytokines which get back into balance by the use ozone.
This is the power ozone in connection with our immune system.
