Regenerative medicine is a field of medicine that aims to restore, regenerate, or replace damaged or diseased cells, tissues, and organs using various techniques, including stem cell therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), and ozone therapy. These therapies promote the body's natural healing processes and have the potential to treat a wide range of conditions, such as wound healing, tissue repair, and chronic diseases.

Stem cell therapy involves the transplantation of stem cells into damaged or diseased tissues to promote regeneration and repair. HBOT involves the use of high-pressure oxygen to increase oxygen delivery to tissues and promote healing. Ozone therapy involves the use of ozone gas to stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms and improve cellular function. All of these therapies are aimed at restoring or enhancing the body's ability to heal and regenerate itself.

Ozone therapy

What is Ozone therapy

Ozone therapy is a non-invasive alternative medicine therapy, which has been used extensively for many years in several medical conditions. Ozone therapy combines a mixture of 99.5% to 95% oxygen (O2) and 0.5% to 5% ozone (O3) in varying therapeutic concentrations. Its therapeutic benefits have been scientifically  proven with minimal side effects.

How does Ozone therapy work in Autism

Ozone therapy can be very effective for children with autism. In autism, there is immune dysregulation, inflammation, oxidative stress, decreased availability of antioxidants, and also presence of infections. Ozone addresses these concerns with its long-term anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties. It helps in stimulation of internal antioxidants and thus reduces oxidative damage at cellular levels. It can assist and improve issues with medical problems, behavioral issues, the GI tract, immune system, and endocrine (hormonal) systems, and dental decay. It helps with sleep, aggression, anxiety, and speech.

How is ozone therapy done

Ozone can be administered into the ear (in-ear insufflation), rectally (Rectal insufflation) or intravenously if the child is able to tolerate it. You should first speak to your doctor and if advised, ozone therapy should be taken under medical supervision.

 

What are the side effects of Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy when administered correctly does not have any major side effects. 

However, when inhaled it can cause severe irritation to the eyes and respiratory passages and lungs further triggering asthma, choking, or shortness of breath.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) works by exposing the body to an atmosphere of 100% oxygen, in an enclosed chamber where the atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. Exposing your body to 100% oxygen can accelerate the healing process by allowing more oxygen to reach damaged areas.

The benefits of HBOT are well-documented, including:

  • Speeding up the body’s healing by increasing tissue oxygen levels in areas of injury or illness
  • Supporting faster wound healing
  • Reducing swelling that may occur around damaged areas
  • Stimulating new blood vessel growth and increased blood flow
  • Elevating the body’s natural immune defenses to fight infection and bacteria
  • Boosting your supply of circulating stem cells

Stem Cell Therapy

The medical world is experiencing a revolutionary shift in the understanding and treatment of various medical conditions, including autism. This revolution, known as "Stem Cell Therapy," has generated significant excitement and has been awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine. It is causing medical practitioners and scientists to rethink previously held beliefs about "incurable" conditions, especially those involving the brain and spine. Despite the hope surrounding stem cell therapy, it is crucial to distinguish between hype and reality and address misconceptions about stem cells, their ethics, safety, and effectiveness in various conditions and disorders. The purpose of this section is to present the facts about stem cell therapy, enabling parents to make informed decisions about whether to pursue this treatment for their children.
