Good News! A new peer reviewed study from India adds to the accumulating evidence that Ozone Therapy is effective against mild to moderate Covid-19.
Safety and efficacy of ozone therapy in mild to moderate COVID-19 patients: A phase 1/11 randomized control trial (SEOT study)☆
Int Immunopharmacol. 2021 Feb; 91: 107301.
Published online 2020 Dec 23. doi: 10.1016/j.intimp.2020.107301
Discussion:
SNIP
Participants from OZ group didn’t show any requirement of supplemental oxygen, ICU admission and mechanical ventilation whereas standard group demonstrated 10% subjects requiring mechanical ventilation, ICU admission and two of which led to two fatalities. The results on mortality and need for advanced care in both groups in our study were comparatively better than the preliminary report published on Ozone safety among COVID-19 patients [26]. This indicates the need to integrate Ozone therapy in to the existing care. Integrating Ozone therapy in COVID-19 care not only reduces the mortality but also will be very strategic to accelerate recovery of COVID 19 patients presenting mild to moderate severity to getting into the advanced COVID-19 stages.There is strong relationship between symptom regressions and severity of COVID 19 [27]. Our results that subjects in OZ group were relieved of cough, breathlessness more effectively than ST group that can check the severity of COVID-19.One of the strong correlation to avoid bad prognosis in COVID 19, is to exert faster reduction in viral titre [28]. Antiviral activity can reduce pulmonary infiltrates and pulmonary tissue damage. There were 77% subjects from Ozone treated group showed negative RT-PCR on day 5 and all 100% got negative RT-PCR on day 10. This clearly declares advantage of faster eradication of virus from body which could be attributed to the antiviral potential of Ozone therapy.
SNIP
Conclusion: Our study suggests that Ozone therapy is safe and effective to be used in COVID-19 patients who are in mild or moderate stage of the illness. Governments and policy makers should consider including Ozone therapy in the existing level of care which could possibly reduce the requirement of advanced treatment facilities and reduce morbidity and mortality rate. However, future studies are warranted to understand the magnitude of this change in these multiple domains that are affected by COVID-19.

The problem with the report’s authors’ call for more trials to get a better picture of the true extent of Ozone Therapy’s effectiveness will be in finding willing sponsors to fund more controlled, double-blind trials on the product. There is no way to patent Ozone Therapy such that it could provide a revenue stream to justify the expense involved in holding those trials.
Ozone Therapy has been advocated by its proponents as useful and effective for treating a wide range of bacterial and viral infections and as well, to relieve various chronic, painful, and debilitating health conditions e.g., joint pain/arthritis, autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis etc. It has an established safety record since it came into use around the turn of the 19th/20th century. The first patent for a medical ozone device was in fact awarded to none other than Nikola Tesla in 1896. With the rise in prominence of allopathic medicine in the first 20 to 30 decades of the 1900s (increasingly based on an approach of prescribing patented, pharmaceutical drugs as a primary treatment option), Ozone Therapy fell out of favour with the orthodox medical establishment, but it has survived over the years among alternative medical practitioners such as naturopaths.
Today there is a slowly increasing awareness of the many reports of Ozone Therapy’s benefits and hence enhanced interest by medical doctors on investigating the effectiveness of Ozone Therapy – somewhat more so, perhaps, with the advent of Covid-19. Covid-19 we were told had no existing viable medications as treatment options, leaving us no choice but to lockdown, isolate, sanitize, and wear a mask (or two or three) while we waited for Pharma’s white coated, lab scientists to provide us with another vaccine. The medical regulatory and advisory bodies like the FDA, WHO, CDC etc. have not been keen to promote the use of ozone, throwing up the objection that there are no large scale, clinical, double-blind studies to permit official endorsement. (See my comment on clinical trials above.)
Note that Ozone Therapy does not involve patients breathing ozone gas into their lungs, as this would be very damaging to the lung tissue. Instead, a small portion of ozone, O3, is mixed with a much larger part of regular oxygen, O2, and injected by IV or needle directly into the bloodstream (note there is no danger of the injection of the ozone/oxygen gas mixture causing an embolism), inserted into the body by rectal or vaginal insufflation, or even by insufflation through the ear in some cases.
Ozone Therapy seems to be slowly gaining recognition (perhaps more so in Europe, than in North America) as a viable treatment option, and especially so for conditions that have not responded to standard allopathic medical approaches. Dr. Robert Rowen MD of Santa Rosa, California claims to have successfully and safely used Ozone Therapy in his Functional Medicine practice for 30+ years and has co-authored a peer reviewed article in 2019 promoting the efficacity of Ozone Therapy as a treatment option for use by all medical practitioners:
Ozone and oxidation therapies as a solution to the emerging crisis in infectious disease management: a review of current knowledge and experience – Robert Jay Rowen, MD1,* and Howard Robins, DPM2
The world is facing a serious crisis over the rise of “superbugs” resistant to antibiotics. These drugs ushered in the modern medical era and its most unfortunate paradigm of single pharmaceutical drugs to allegedly treat disease. Tens of thousands worldwide are dying of resistant bacterial infections, and viral diseases which, in general, we’ve never been able to treat well.Yet right before us, Nature has provided a literally eternal, highly effective solution – oxidation stimulants. Ultraviolet light in sunlight destroys germs. Ozone (as found in the upper atmosphere), which can be medically generated, destroys bacteria largely on contact. It oxidizes crucial proteins on viral membranes which effectively “chops off their fingers” so they can’t open the cookie jar (entry into cells where they propagate). Ozone therapy stimulates utilization in your body of the most important element of healing: oxygen. Ozone has been found to modulate your immune system and reduce the toxicity of inflammation, a key mechanism of morbidity in infection. Ozone has also been found to treat infection on its own, and also in synergy with antibiotics.
Dr. Rowen also maintains a YouTube channel. In this YouTube video he explains why he believes Ozone Therapy could be an effective treatment option against Covid-19 were it to receive wider acceptance by regulatory bodies and the medical establishment.

Repeat for the clowns who want a TRIAL VACCINE…made mandatory, to satify their petty prejudices..
since they already rushed and took it, we will see the outcomes.
“That’s the view of executive director of the Caribbean Public Health Agency Dr Joy St John, who said accessibility to the vaccine was a prohibitive factor in making it mandatory.
“How can you make something mandatory that is not equal in access to everyone the world or is not even in the supply for the eight billion people that we have in the world?”

Phillips: Back at square one
BARBADOS IS BACK at square one and the partial lockdown which was extended from two weeks to four has not been effective, says president of Solutions Barbados, Grenville Phillips II.
Phillips is also calling for Government to implement a national self-quarantine period during the upcoming Easter holiday. He was speaking on the phased reopening of the country which takes effect from today.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If the virus is in the water and is spread that way, all the lockdowns in the world will not make it go away.
Government would just be locking people in their houses and supplying the virus to them for use in their tap water.
When they bathe there is a chance they will get it.
When they wash up wares there is a chance they will get it.
When they wash vegetables there is a chance they will get it.
Lockdowns on their own will not work.
The virus has to defeated in the water before any lockdown has a chance of working.
If it is defeated in the water a lockdown will get rid of it.
Vaccination will become mandatory for any travel as a guard just like Yellow Fever vaccination is mandatory for travel to some countries.
But we got to beat it in the water.
That is the main goal to be achieved.
“Viral traces of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 can be detected in sewage up to a week before physical symptoms occur.”

Worth a read if only to appreciate how difficult it is to remove viruses from water and why we need the expertise.

So we now understand why the Chinese do anal swabs!!!
They can identify cases a week before they present with symptoms!!
Not long before they pioneer drive through anal swabbing!!
@ Quake John
More important than transmission through the sewer, which is true, the big question is how many different variants are in Barbados? Viruses mutate all the time. Do we test airline staff?
couple of things
what if you live in country and are on well water or desalinated water from sea?
drive thru anal swabbing, John you moving to china

Why use “if” as a supposition?
We thought you were quite ‘cocky’ sure that the Covid-19 virus was indeed in the water distributed by the BWA?
Why are you now back-peddling from your call for the GoB to follow the water treatment protocols set by Singapore, NZ and Australia in order to avoid a collapse of the population in Bim?
Why are you not calling on the GoB to ban the importation of bottled water unless it is sourced from the same Singapore, NZ and Australia in order to defeat Covid by “beat(ing) it in the water” on all fronts and from all sources (fo(u)nts) which are not following the same exemplary standards of water treatment as set by Singapore?
What’s so special about sewage-treated or river water bottled in Trinidad that makes it Covid-free?
Has it been blessed by some Catholic, Spiritual Baptist, or Voodoo priest or Hindu pujari or Muslim imam to turn it into ‘(w)holy drinkable water’?
What a huge Rabbit hole
Wow never seen so many heading down that hole
What a belly laugh

what if you live in country and are on well water or desalinated water from sea?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The public water supply wells in Barbados have zoning around them.
Zoning means water has a travel time to get to the well.
Travel time means the bacteria and viruses have a chance to die off completely or be reduced to such low concentrations as to be negligible.
Singapore desalinates sea water straight from the sea.
They have no problems because their process reduces the possibility of virus getting into the drinking water if not to zero then almost zero.
… and they do it day in day out because their lives depend on it.
We need that technology and work ethic.
Desalinated water starts at sea level.
You are safer in the country the higher up you go!!
No public water authority is going to pump it up beyond a certain level, electricity is too expensive.
The higher up you go the less chance it will be distributed there.
It follows that in all likelihood, there will be clusters below the 200 foot contour, possibly between the 200 and 400 foot contour.
Unlikely to be higher.
I know of one cluster which fits like a glove!!
… and the rather astute observation regarding the lack of the COVID bus up in St. Thomas kind of supports what I am saying.
Bring me questions I got answers!!

Why use “if” as a supposition?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Is if a supposition, a preposition or a conjunction?
Check your grammar and you will have your answer!!
ozone therapy ….there is a hole in that argument .
Check this flood map for Barbados.
It is in metres and 200 feet is approximately 70 metres.
So way I look at it is if you live in the Green area you are unlikely to be supplied from the desal plant.
If you live along the coast, there is a good chance you will get some of the water from the desal plant.
So I would expect clusters lowdown, probably not in the Scotland District.
Not much higher up.
But possible because people high up may work low down!!

It has already been done.
That’s why a licence was issued to be used to counter the ‘crappy’ suppositions you are peddling with a dose of sarcasm in the form of ‘suppositories up your reddened anus. .
If we were to follow your logic to the shitty end of the stick, shouldn’t Bajans be overly concerned about their very high chances of contracting not only Covid-19 but also another virus called ‘HIV’ through the consumption of infected water distributed by their BWA?
You are nothing but a bogus academic and intellectual fraud hiding behind a red ‘Johnny’ for a veil which was removed in the most disgraceful manner by your idolatrous backing of the racist loser called Trump.
There is one thing that happened recently that may put the peoples at higher elevation in the mix.
A few years back a main was run along the ABC Highway.
Then a main was run from Fort George to St. Philip at the time the TCP had stopped development in St. Philip in the drought.
Last year a main was run up over Mount Pleasant to St. John.
I need to find out a bit more about that!!

If you look around the desal plant you will see that in the old regime, there was no zone restrictions.
In the new regime it is proposed to make the area Zone A!!!
It will be interesting to see how that is done.
A lot of houses will be affected …. I mean nuff nuff!!
@ de Monkey 🐒
Insurance companies usually don’t cover ozone therapy, and Governments won’t sponsor it.
The average person can’t afford it. It’s not a practical. Only the COW’S will benefit..?
Immunity certification for COVID-19: ethical considerations
Introduction:
Most countries have adopted restrictive public health measures to control the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). These measures include physical distancing, closure of schools and businesses, requirement of face cover- ings and travel restrictions. While effective, the measures have severe social, economic and health effects.1 In the absence of a vaccine or specific effective treatments, countries such as Chile,2 Germany,3 Italy,4 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,5 United States of America,6 and the city of Madrid in Spain,7 have expressed interest in immunity certification to exempt individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 from restrictive measures; Estonia has developed software to support the digital implementation of such cer- tification.8 Immunity certification would provide individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 with a document – so- called passport or certificate – certifying them as immune to
COVID-19 (or at low risk of reinfection) based on a reliable test: serological testing for antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 is the most commonly proposed method.
Population seroprevalence studies from several countries suggest that only a minority of the population is likely to be infected during the first epidemic wave of the pandemic.9,10 Immunity certification would therefore exempt only a small fraction of a country’s population from restrictive measures if applied now or in the near future. In general, governments are trying to find ways to ease some restrictions while also minimizing public health risk. For most countries, this eas- ing has meant lifting restrictive measures gradually and in phases based on certain criteria such as epidemiological data, health system capacity, capacity for surveillance test- ing, isolation of infected individuals and contact tracing to suppress spread.11–13 In doing so, governments recognize that they may need to reverse course and impose more restrictive measures again, if public health data show increasing spread of SARS-CoV-2.
A good read… It appears that ozone therapy cure more illnesses than marijuana.
