What is major autohemotherapy?
It is one of the best-known systemic applications of medical ozone. The basic approach is not to administer ozone gas directly into a vein, but to expose the person’s own blood to a brief redox stimulus in a controlled, closed system. The effects of this contact on the Nrf2-associated cellular stress response, antioxidant defense, inflammatory signals, and microcirculation are being investigated.
How is it administered?
The physician first evaluates the reason for the visit, medical history, medications being used, and treatment goal. In a suitable patient, venous blood is drawn into an ozone-resistant closed system, brought into controlled contact with a medical oxygen-ozone mixture outside the body, and then returned to circulation. Sterility, a closed system, appropriate materials, and patient monitoring are the essential components of the procedure.
In which areas has it been studied?
It has been studied as a complementary approach in fibromyalgia, chronic pain and fatigue syndromes, microcirculatory problems, selected metabolic conditions, and some chronic diseases. Clinical outcomes vary by disease; data for one indication should not be directly transferred to another disease.
Difference from local ozone
Intra-articular, paravertebral, skin, wound, vaginal, or other local applications are directed at the target tissue. Major autohemotherapy is a systemic application; therefore, it should not be presented as a single superior method that replaces local methods.
A safe approach
G6PD deficiency, hematologic problems, bleeding tendency, anticoagulant/antiplatelet medications, and serious comorbidities should be evaluated beforehand. Direct intravenous injection of ozone gas is not major autohemotherapy and carries serious risks.
