AB: The therapeutical application of ozone has proven its value
in compensated autoimmune diseases as a support of
immunsuppressiva therapy. Through ozone therapy, a rapid
and effective elimination of pathological macro-molecules
and mediators is attained.
Ozone and its popularity undoubtedly stems from the fact
that it is less toxic than most other immunosuppressiva
agents, rather than from is less efficacy.
In the absense of any convincing evidence to the contrary,
out clinical impression is that ozone is moderately
effective in treating severe rheumatoid arthritis and is
decreasing steroid requirements.
The positive effect of ozone therapy in rheumatoid arthritis
does not remain clear as long as the pathogenesis of the
disease remains unknown.
