Would Intravenous Treatment With Hydrogen Peroxide Or UVBI With Ozone Treatments Be More Suitable To Treat COPD, Sleep Apnea And Depression?

default
Posted on Fri, 5 Apr 2024
Question: I am a female 70 years old with COPD for about the past 4 years (Stage 2, I think). I take the regular inhalers, Spiriva & Symbicort along with vitamins and alternative things such as glutithion in nebulizer, D3, Vit. C, NAC, calcium, red yeast rice, chia seeds, etc.
I also have sleep apnea which I am not doing too well with y CPAP machine. I have 3 different masks but I feel clostrophobic and end up taking them off during the night without even raslizing it. Have acid reflux also.

I hav anxiety and depression. Taking Ativan for that when needed. I cannot stop crying & have been given wellbutrin, lexapro etc which don't seem to be working for me. I have 4 fungi in my lungs that the infectious disease dr. doesn't seem to be too worried about.

I have been reading about intravenous treatment with hydrogen peroxide (35& food grade) and UVBI with ozone treatments. Can you please give me your opinion on which the most successful treatment to take for my condition. I just need someone to tell me which one might be most helpful. I hope you will be so kind as to help me make a decision based on your expertise. I just need to feel good about my decision on which to do,

I thank you so very much in advance for your kind help. Hoping and praying to hearing from you very soon. I prefer hearing from a doctor who practicrs with both of these procedures.

Brief Answer:
UVBI

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query. I understand that you are not getting any relief with modern medicine for COPD and infection of your lung. The two therapies you have mentioned are followed by alternative medicine practitioners.
Out of these two Hydrogen peroxide have serious side effects including death, as reported. On the other hand UVBI with Ozone has side effects including minor bruising at the injection site, potential minor bleeding from the heparin, mild temporary "healing reactions" (low grade fever, minor muscle aches or joint aches), potential for secondary infection, possible prescription drug-UVBI interaction (ie sulfa drugs, tetracyclines, phenothiazines) and the rare possibility of photoallergy in the case of allergy to sunlight.


Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
