ABSTRACT: Ozone therapy has been marred by conventional science for years due to many flawed experimental
designs or small sample sizes of the population in which it intends to study. For this reason,
many physicians have dismissed ozone therapy and limited funds have been delegated to furthering
the knowledge of its therapeutic effects. However, there is evidence that suggests that ozone
does have various therapeutic effects that range from disinfection of pathogens, anticancer properties,
and treatment of back ailments. In this paper, we have collected the more promising studies
that suggest the efficacy and safety of ozone therapy primarily focusing on autohemotherapy.
This paper is designed to promote awareness of ozone therapy and to show some supporting evidence
of its efficacy. Clinically, ozone therapy is often used adjunctively and combined with other
treatment modalities to enhance or encourage a desired mechanism of action. Since the efficacy of
ozone alone is still contentious, it is important to note that ozone therapy should be used in conjunction
with other various treatments with very few exceptions.
