Ozone therapy is a powerful, science-backed treatment that uses medical-grade ozone (O₃)—a highly energized form of oxygen—to stimulate healing at the cellular level. When introduced into the body in a controlled and therapeutic way, ozone improves the body's ability to utilize oxygen, eliminate toxins, fight infection, and repair damaged tissue.
Unlike conventional medications that may only manage symptoms, ozone therapy works with your body’s natural healing mechanisms. It increases the efficiency of your mitochondria (the “powerhouses” of your cells), supports detoxification pathways in the liver, and regulates immune function—whether it’s overactive (as in autoimmune disease) or underperforming (as with chronic infections or fatigue).
Benefits of Ozone Therapy Include:
- Enhanced cellular oxygen metabolism
- Reduced inflammation and oxidative stress
- Improved immune system balance
- Stimulation of natural detoxification processes
- Support for tissue repair and regeneration
This innovative therapy has been used worldwide for over 50 years, especially throughout Europe, Asia, and South America, where it is widely respected as a safe, natural medical treatment. In the U.S., it is becoming more popular as patients seek non-invasive, drug-free alternatives for complex or chronic conditions that haven’t responded well to standard care.
Conditions Commonly Treated with Ozone Therapy
Chronic Fatigue, Brain Fog & Fibromyalgia
If you're constantly tired, mentally sluggish, or living with widespread body pain, your cells may be struggling to produce and use energy. Ozone therapy enhances cellular oxygen metabolism, helping your mitochondria function more efficiently—often resulting in more energy, clearer thinking, and reduced pain. It's particularly helpful for those with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), or adrenal burnout.
Autoimmune Diseases
(Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hashimoto’s)
Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system becomes confused and attacks the body’s own tissues. Ozone therapy helps modulate immune activity—reducing destructive inflammation while still enhancing the body’s ability to defend itself. Many patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis find relief and symptom control with consistent ozone support.
Chronic Infections
(Lyme Disease, Epstein-Barr Virus, Mold Illness)
Ongoing infections and environmental toxicities can deeply impact immune resilience and overall vitality. Ozone creates a high-oxygen, hostile environment for pathogens, disrupting viral, bacterial, and fungal activity while also detoxifying harmful byproducts. Dr. Linette commonly uses ozone therapy as part of an integrated protocol for Lyme disease, reactivated EBV, chronic sinus infections, and mold-related illness.
Long COVID & Post-Viral Fatigue
Many individuals recovering from COVID-19 continue to suffer from chronic fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, and breathing issues for months. Ozone therapy has shown promise in helping these “long-haul” patients by reducing inflammation, enhancing oxygen delivery, and helping the body clear lingering viral debris. It supports system-wide recovery and immune balance, offering hope where other treatments fall short.
Arthritis, Joint Pain & Musculoskeletal Conditions
If joint stiffness, swelling, or pain is limiting your daily life, ozone therapy—especially Prolozone injections—may offer significant relief. By combining medical ozone with healing nutrients, Dr. Linette helps reduce inflammation, stimulate tissue regeneration, and improve joint mobility. This approach is ideal for conditions such as osteoarthritis, sports injuries, back pain, and tendonitis—without relying on steroids or surgery.
Cardiovascular and Circulation Issues
Ozone therapy improves blood oxygenation and microcirculation, helping the heart and vascular system function more efficiently. It can be a valuable part of managing high blood pressure, poor circulation, heart disease risk, or post-surgical recovery. By increasing oxygen availability, ozone supports healthy blood flow, reduced plaque buildup, and vascular repair at the cellular level.
Gut Dysfunction, Toxin Overload & Inflammatory Disorders
Many chronic conditions are rooted in gut inflammation, leaky gut syndrome, or toxic overload from mold, heavy metals, or environmental exposure. Ozone therapy helps rebalance gut flora, strengthen intestinal integrity, and support liver detoxification. Patients with IBS, candida, SIBO, or chronic bloating often find ozone to be a gentle yet powerful way to calm their systems and restore digestive health.
Immune Imbalance & Recurrent Illness
If you find yourself constantly catching colds or feeling rundown, ozone therapy may help bring your immune system back into balance. By stimulating natural immune modulation, ozone supports the body in fighting infections more effectively—while also calming an overactive immune response, which is often seen in autoimmune and allergic conditions. It’s also ideal for patients prone to chronic sinusitis, UTIs, bronchitis, or general immune weakness.
Ozone Therapy Methods at Dr. Linette’s Clinic
EBOO: Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation
EBOO is the most advanced and comprehensive form of systemic ozone therapy currently available. During treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn, filtered to remove impurities, infused with ozone, and then returned to your body—completely closed and sterile from start to finish.
This therapy provides:
- Deep immune system reset
- Whole-body detoxification
- Improved oxygen utilization
- Support for autoimmune and chronic infections
IV Ozone Therapy (MAH – Major Autohemotherapy)
Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) is a widely used and clinically proven form of ozone therapy that involves drawing a small amount of your blood, mixing it with medical ozone, and then reinfusing it intravenously into your body. This gentle, safe process takes about 30–45 minutes and delivers significant health benefits.
MAH is best known for its ability to:
- Increase energy and mitochondrial function
- Enhance immune defenses
- Reduce systemic inflammation
- Accelerate recovery from chronic illness or fatigue
Prolozone Therapy
Prolozone Therapy is a regenerative ozone-based treatment that combines medical ozone with vitamins, minerals, and healing nutrients, which are injected directly into painful or damaged joints and soft tissues. This therapy is highly effective for arthritis, tendonitis, back pain, sports injuries, and degenerative joint conditions.
Prolozone helps by:
- Reducing inflammation and swelling
- Stimulating cartilage and tissue repair
- Improving joint mobility and flexibility
- Offering lasting pain relief without drugs or surgery
Ozone Insufflation (Rectal or Vaginal)
Ozone insufflation is a needle-free, non-invasive method of delivering medical ozone through the rectum or vaginal canal, allowing for rapid absorption into the bloodstream and lymphatic system. This therapy is especially beneficial for patients dealing with chronic gut inflammation, toxin overload, pelvic congestion, hormonal imbalance, or chronic infections.
Benefits include:
- Enhanced gut detoxification and microbiome support
- Relief from IBS, bloating, and leaky gut
- Support for PMS, PCOS, and postmenopausal pelvic health
- Gentle immune modulation and systemic wellness
Topical Ozone & Ozone Bagging
For localized concerns, topical ozone and ozone bagging offer a safe, external approach to healing. Ozone gas is applied directly to the skin (or sealed within a “bag” or chamber) to treat damaged or infected tissue.
This method is especially effective for:
- Chronic wounds or ulcers that are slow to heal
- Post-surgical recovery and tissue repair
- Fungal infections, including athlete’s foot or nail fungus
- Skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or acne
