Is It Safe To Provide Ozone Therapy?

Hallo, my name is Krystyna Tarnowska, I am writting from Warsaw, Poland and I am very interested in Ozontherapy for children. My children are 3 and 5 years old and get sick/cold EVERY MONTH! despite the fact that they are treatet/brought up quite healthy: - we moved out from Warsaw and have been living in the country for 2 years, - they eat healthy low-processed food, cottage eggs, a lot of vegetables, onion, garlic etc. - they are energetic kids and get a lot of movement The gole is to grown their immun system. My question is: is it safe to provide them an ozontherapy? I already know that for adults it is safe but I am not not sure about children. If yes, in which way? rectally? what dose? Is it possible to do it at home, by ourselves, or an ozon-specialist (doctor?) is appropriate person to do this therapy? I would be extremely thankful for your answer.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

As a pediatrician I would NOT recommend ozone therapy to increase immunity in children. In fact the best way to build the immunity in children will be through right diet. As i can see that your diet is pretty much healthy, but i would like you to increase vitamin C content in form of citrus fruits. Vitamin C enhances immunity especially against flu.

Also when they play they get exposed to different germs which in turn increases their immunity. Having that said you should always know that they are kids and they will fall ill occasionally and all you need to do during those times is give them lots of love care and good food, and of course a consultation with the health provider.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Gaurav Nigam, Pediatrician
