6: Strengthen Your Immunity and Fight Cancer with Ozone Therapy | Dr. Derek Guillory, MD

Ozone therapy has the ability to boost the immune system by stimulating the production of white blood cells in addition to regulating inflammation. As a potent regulator of the immune system, ozone will calm the immune system down if it is over-active in cases of auto-immune diseases, or will stimulate the immune system in cases where it is under-active (e.g. cancer and chronic infections). Join me as I speak with Dr. Derek Guillory, MD, as we unravel the science and mechanisms behind two incredibly powerful alternative treatment modalities – hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and ozone therapy.
