Oxygen-ozone therapy is a complementary approach less known than homeopathy and acupuncture because it has come of age only three decades ago. This book clarifies that, in the often nebulous field of natural medicine, the biological bases of ozone therapy are totally in line with classic biochemical, physiological and pharmacological knowledge. Ozone is an oxidising molecule, a sort of superactive oxygen, which, by reacting with blood components, generates a number of chemical messengers responsible for activating crucial biological functions such as oxygen delivery, immune activation, release of hormones and induction of antioxidant enzymes, which is an exceptional property for correcting the chronic oxidative stress present in atherosclerosis, diabetes, infections and cancer. Moreover ozone therapy, by inducing nitric oxide synthase, may mobilize endogenous stem cells, which will promote regeneration of ischaemic tissues. The description of these phenomena offers the first comprehensive picture for understanding how ozone works and why, when properly used as a real drug within the therapeutic range, not only does not procure adverse effects but yields a feeling of wellness. Half of the book describes the value of ozone therapy in several diseases, particularly cutaneous infections and vascular diseases where ozone really behaves as a "wonder" drug. The book has been written for clinical researchers, physicians and ozonetherapists but also for the layman or the patient interested in this therapy.

Reading this volume required a lot of dedication a) the lettering was very small b) one gets lost in too many details, which in turn hinder understanding of the fundamental concept of providing intra-cell communication. c) Also, I have not found evidence to the metabolic effect of breathing in Ozone at very low concentrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book by the leader in the field.
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2007
Bocci cuts through ozones hype and gives clear and accurate scientifically proven information on what ozone can and can't do for somebody and how it should be administered(direct IV not being one of them). The price tag I think is a bit high for an amateur researcher such as myself but worth every penny. For any medical persons reading this review who is considering buying this book please note contary to FDA statements there are hundreds of studies proving efficacy of ozone therapy for all types of ailments. They are all public domain.

Ozone therapy corrects the redox system(that's the antioxidant system for layfolks)so for anybody with a chronic viral infection who has a failing redox system that is one major reason alone(there are many others) to use ozone therapy. I will repeat that - for that single fact it is reason enough to use it.

Ozone being a good negatively charged free radical will actually nutralise harmful reactive oxygen species(ROS). This is one of the biggest misunderstandings by untrained medical personnel who beleive ozone is a harmful free radical and one of the messages Bocci gets across so strongly.

Highly recommended.

The author is an expert in the field and is obviously very knowledgeable but even for a technical book it is very difficult to get the information out of the text.

Dr Velio Bocci is a top medical/scientific expert in ozone therapy (including different types); you can find his papers on PubMed and ResearchGate, to get a taste of some of his studies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Autohemotherapy vs, Direct IV
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2008
Kudo's to Dr Bocci for his publication promoting IV ozone therapy. We have seen the results of over 45,000 Autohemotherapies and since 1994 over 95,000 Direct Iv ozone applications. There is no doubt that Dr. Bocci is completely wrong in his evaluation of Direct Iv. when done correctly it is easily safer, faster, less costly, and far more effective. In fact, Dr bocci is correct when he says that Autohemo will not cure most problems, while Direct IV absolutely will. Anyone with our experience in both types will agree.

Excellent book, more usable than his first book. Very well referenced but a little opinionated at times which lets it down a little. Mostly accurate and a good guide in clinical practice. Thoroughly recommended
