BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

[0002] The invention relates to an ozone therapeutic treatment apparatus and method of treatment using same.

Background

[0003] Ozone is used to treat a number of conditions by introduction into the body. Symptoms from scar tissue in joints can be reduce by the application of ozone to the joint, such as by injection of ozone. Injecting ozone deep into the joint can be painful and provides a limited quantity of ozone for treatment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The invention is directed to an ozone therapeutic treatment apparatus and method of treating a treatment condition or location in a living body by using magnetism to move ozone to said treatment location as well as control /direct the healing potential towards the desired location. In an exemplary embodiment, the treatment condition is an external treatment condition, a treatment location on the exterior of the living body, such as on the skin, on the head and the like. In an exemplary embodiment, the treatment condition is an internal treatment condition, a treatment location within a living organism, and the ozone is implanted into the body by injection or by absorption through the skin. Ozone is diamagnetic, because all of its electrons are paired and therefore is subject to magnetic forces. The ozone is introduced into the body and directed or drawn through the body, across or to a treatment location, toward a magnet. The magnet may be a permanent magnet, may be a switchable magnet, wherein the magnetic polarity is switched back and forth, or may be an electromagnet, wherein the magnetic field is varied as a function of time. A magnet may be a porous magnet having one or more apertures through the magnet from a skin contact surface of the magnet to an opposing surface. The apertures through the magnet allows the flow of gases and in particular ozone through the magnet. An ozone therapeutic treatment apparatus may utilize one or more magnetic ozone interfaces that incorporates a porous magnet and a pressure apparatus to generate a flow of ozone through the porous magnet an dinto the living body or to the skin of the living body. In an exemplary embodiment, ozone is forced into the body through a first magnetic ozone interface and drawn to or across a treatment location by a second magnetic ozone interface.

[0005] Ozone is a diamagnetic substance that is characterized by paired electrons, e.g., no unpaired electrons. According to the Pauli Exclusion Principle which states that no two electrons may occupy the same quantum state at the same time, the electron spins are oriented in opposite directions. The ozone used in the ozone therapeutic treatment apparatus may be an ozone rich gas which has 5% or less mole fraction of other gases, or 3% or less, 1 % or less, or even 0.5% or less mole fraction of other gasses.

[0006] Ozone may be in various forms such as O3 or OB, for example. The concentration of ozone may be in the gamma range, such as 1-150 gamma, wherein: 1 mg/l ozone in air = 1 g/m3 = 1 ug/ml = 1 gamma.

[0007] An ozone introducer is configured to implant ozone into a body and may comprise an ozone cup that is configured to be placed on the skin of the body to form a seal that retains said ozone against the skin for absorption through the skin. The cup may contain ozone that is pressurized, such as about 10kPa or more, about 25kPa or more, about 50kPa or more, about 100kPa or more, about 250kPa or more and any range between and including the pressure values provided. The ozone cup may be secured to the skin by a strap, clamp or other means to produce an effective seal on the skin. The ozone cup may be coupled with an ozone source to provide a continuous supply of ozone to the ozone cup as the ozone is absorbed through the skin. An ozone generator may be used to produce ozone and a hose may extend from the generator to the ozone cup to provide a supply of ozone to the ozone cup. An ozone source may provide or an exemplary ozone generator may be configured to produce ozone in a particular concentration such as about 50% of more, 90% or more, 95% or more, or even 100% by molar concentration, or the concentration may be 10ppm or more, about 50ppm or more, about 100ppm or more, about 200ppm or more about 500ppm or more, about 1000ppm or more, and any range between and including the ozone concentrations provided. A high concentration of ozone may be about 80% or more by molar concentration. A porous magnet may be configured within the ozone cup and allow ozone to flow through the porous magnet into or out of the skin of the patient.

[0008] An ozone introducer may comprise an injector that has a needle configured to puncture through the skin. The needle is hollow and has an opening proximal the extended end to allow the ozone to flow through the needle and into the body. The needle may be coupled with a hose and an ozone source to provide a continuous stream of ozone into the

7 body, referred to herein as continuous injection. The needle may be coupled with a syringe having an internal receptacle and a plunger to force the ozone within the internal receptacle out of the syringe through the needle. The plunger may be configured for manual operation.

[0009] An ozone introducer may be an ozone jet injector that comprises a pressurizing device configured to pressurize the ozone and introduce the ozone into the living body under high pressure. A jet injector is a type of medical injecting syringe used for ozone jet injection. A high-pressure stream of ozone in either gas or dissolved in a liquid, penetrates the living body, such as the skin to deliver ozone to a targeted treatment location, such as the epidermis, muscle, into a joint or bone, or organ, for example. A pressurizing device may be a piston in an enclosed liquid-filled chamber, coupled with the injecting syringe. The piston is usually pushed by the release of a compressed metal spring.

[0010] Ozone may be injected into or introduced intravenously such as by injection with a syringe or through an intravenous bag having ozone dissolved in the intravenous solution. The ozone may then be directed to a particular treatment location by use of a magnet placed on the living body, such as near an organ. The ozone therapeutic treatment apparatus may utilize ozonated blood that is drawn from the patient, ozonated and then delivered back to the patient for treatment. The ozonated blood may be injected into the patient proximal to a treatment condition or may be simply circulated back into the vascular system to treat blood related illness or disease or conditions including autoimmune diseases.

[0011] Ozone may be introduced through an enclosure, such as a sauna that heats the person or a portion of the person’s body and has an enclosure for retaining a concentration of ozone. The enclosure may fit around a portion of a person’s body, such as an arm or leg and may be a sleeve that seals around the person’s body part to retain an elevated concentration of ozone within the interior, as described herein, and may have a heating element to heat the person's body (living body) or body part to aid in the introduction of ozone into the person’s body. In an exemplary embodiment, the sauna is large enough for the person to fit within the sauna and a breathing apparatus may be used to provide breathing air to the patient or the sauna may have an opening to allow the person’s head to extend out of the sauna for safe breathing of air without elevated concentrations of ozone. The use of heat opens the pores and allows the ozone to more effectively penetrate into the patient’s skin. The sauna may heat the person of body part of the person to about 30°C or more, about 40°C or more, about 45°C or more, about 50°C or more and any range between and including the temperatures provided. An ozone generator may provide a concentration of ozone into the interior of the enclosure or heated sauna according the concentrations provided herein. The concentration of ozone within the interior of the enclosure or heated sauna may be elevated and have a concentration such as about 50% of more, 90% or more, 95% or more, or even 100% by molar concentration, or the concentration may be 10ppm or more, about 50ppm or more, about 100ppm or more, about 200ppm or more about 500ppm or more, about 1000ppm or more, and any range between and including the ozone concentrations provided. One or more magnets as described herein may be configured within the enclosure of the sauna and placed against or near the skin to draw ozone to or across a treatment location.

[0012] The ozone within the living body may be directed by a magnet that is placed on or near the skin to produce a magnetic force to draw the internal ozone within the body, toward the magnet. The magnet may be a permanent magnet, switchable magnet or an electro magnet. The magnet may produce a magnetic field having a strength of about 500 Gauss or more, about 1 ,000 Gauss or more, about 2,000 Gauss or more, about 4000 Gauss or more, about 6,000 Gauss or more, about 10,000 Gauss or more, about 15,000 Gauss or more and any range between and including the values provided. A magnet that produces a 4,000 Gauss surface strength will have a penetration of about three inches into the skin, as an example. Also, a magnetic field strength of about 15,000 is approximately the magnetic field strength used in a resonance imaging system (MRI) or is equivalent to the strength of a coinsized magnet that can lift 9kg. An exemplary magnet may be a permanent or switchable magnet. A pulsed electro-magnetic field (PEMF) may not be preferred however as this may denature the ozone. A static magnetic field, may be preferred for this reason. A magnet may be sized to produce an effective magnetic field to pull ozone to a treatment location and may be planar in shape and have an in plane dimension, length or width or diameter of about 25mm or more, about 50mm or more, about 75mm or more, about 100mm or more and any range between and including the dimensions provided.

[0013] A magnet may be a porous magnet that has apertures through the magnet from a skin contact surface to a cup surface. The porous magnet may be porous metal, or having apertures through the magnet. A magnet may be a ring magnet having an aperture, such as a circular aperture, surrounded by the magnet material. A ring magnet may be attached to an ozone cup or ozone cup assembly having an inner ozone cup surrounded by a collection cup to capture any ozone that may leak from the internal ozone cup. A magnet may be flexible and may be configured to extend around a person limb, such as by wrapping around their limb. This flexible type of magnet may be useful in a magnetic ozone interface that combines the magnet and the ozone cup into a wrap that can be configured around a limb of a person, arm, foot, hand, or over a joint, such as over the shoulder or around the hip, for example. A large magnetic ozone interface may be wrapped around a torso of a person and may have a plurality of magnets for locating near a treatment location and/or a flexible magnet that wraps around the curvature of the body.

[0014] A magnet may be a switchable magnet, a magnet that can be cycled on and off without electricity. A switchable magnet is made from two blocks of iron, with a round cavity bored through the center. The halves are joined together with a non-ferrous material such as brass or aluminum. A round permanent magnet is inserted into the bored hole configured between the two halves and rotation of the permanent magnet turns on the blocks of iron as a magnet. Rotation of the permanent magnet changes the orientation of the magnetic field and can therefore turn the magnet on and off.

[0015] An electromagnet is a magnet having a soft metal core that is made into a magnet by the passage of electric current through a coil surrounding the magnet. The magnetic field strength may be varied from neutral to a positive value. An electromagnet produces a magnetic field that can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. This change in magnetic field strength may be advantageous to moving ozone through the body and into and through a treatment condition.

[0016] An exemplary magnetic ozone interface may combine an ozone cup with a magnet for application to a treatment location. A magnet may have apertures for allowing ozone to pass therethrough and an ozone cup may be coupled to the magnet. An ozone cup may be part of an ozone cup assembly having an internal ozone cup surrounded by a collection cup. The internal ozone cup receives ozone from an ozone source that may force ozone into the interior of the ozone cup with pressure. The ozone source may be an ozone generator and may produce ozone with a concentration of ozone as described herein. The collection cup is configured around the ozone cup and configured to capture any ozone that leaks from the interior ozone cup. The collection cup may be coupled with an ozone destruction device that may create a vacuum pressure to draw the ozone to the ozone destruction device from the collection cup. The collection cup may have a material that reacts with ozone to destroy the ozone, such as magnesium dioxide MnO2, a catalyst used in ozone destruction. The interior of the collection cup may be coated with magnesium dioxide, for example.

[0017] An exemplary magnetic ozone interface may be configured to be wrapped around a person limb, such as the arm, hand, foot or their leg, and may include an ozone cup assembly with an internal ozone cup and collection cup configured around the collection cup. An exemplary magnetic ozone interface may be configured to wrap around a body part including over the shoulder, head, around the back or hip of a person or animal and the like.

[0018] The ozone therapeutic treatment apparatus may further use heat for heating the treatment location to increase blood flow and/or to open pores in the skin for higher absorption rates of ozone. The ozone cup may be heated and/or the flow of gas, including ozone, into the cup may be heated to increase ozone absorption.

[0019] The ozone therapeutic treatment apparatus may further use light, such as red light or lasers in combination with the ozone treatment to stimulate healing, especially for skin conditions. A light element, such as a red light emitter or laser may be incorporated into an ozone cup and direct light onto the skin of the patient. The light may be on prior to, during and/or after the treatment with ozone.

As shown in the FIGS. 1 and 2, the ozone cup 34 is coupled with an ozone source 32, such as an ozone generator 38, which may be used to control the ozone concentration 39 and/or the ozone pressure 35 supplied to the ozone introducer 31 . Note that the ozone generator may be coupled with the ozone injector 40 as well to provide a flow of ozone into the body through the needle 46. The ozone injector 40 has an internal receptacle 42 for retaining or receiving ozone 30 and a plunger 44 to force the ozone through the needle and into the body 20. In addition, the magnet 50 may be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet that is powered by an electromagnet generator that may enable control of the frequency and amplitude of the magnetic field 52. Note that the ozone introducers 31 , 31’ are configured on a first side of the treatment condition 25, or shoulder joint and the magnet is configured on the other side of the treatment condition or shoulder joint, to enable the implanted ozone, the internal ozone 36 to pass through the treatment condition. Again, a first magnetic ozone interface 90 and second magnetic ozone interface 90’ may be configured on opposing sides of the treatment location 24 to create a push pull of ozone through the treatment location. [0076] Figure 4 shows a perspective view of an exemplary ozone therapeutic treatment apparatus being used to treat a virus in a genitals of a patient. Again, a first magnetic ozone interface 90 and second magnetic ozone interface 90’ may be configured on opposing sides of the treatment location 24 to create a push pull of ozone through the treatment location.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 5, the magnetic field strength diminishes quickly with the increasing distance from the magnet. Therefore, placing the magnet on or very near the skin may be desirable for the treatment apparatus.

[0078] As shown in FIG. 6, a heated sauna 60 forms and enclosure 62 for retaining ozone 30 against a body part. The interior 62 of the sauna is heated by a heating element 66. A head opening 64 in the enclosure enables the patient 21 (living body) to extend their head out of the enclosure. Ozone 30 is configured in the interior of the enclosure and a magnet 50 may be placed against the persons skin to draw ozone into the person’s body and across a treatment condition. An ozone generator 38 is the ozone source 32 for providing a flow of ozone 30 into the interior 63 of the enclosure 62.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 7, a patient 21 is having blood drawn and treated by an ozonating blood apparatus 82 to add ozone 30 to the blood 81 and produce ozonated blood 80 that may be then returned to the patient. As described herein, this may be used to treat any blood born viruses or infections and may be used to treat autoimmune diseases. The ozonating blood apparatus 82 has an inlet 84 for receiving the blood 81 and an ozonated blood outlet 86 to deliver the ozonated blood 80 back to the patient. A pump 85 may control the flow of blood from and/or to the person.

[0080] As shown in FIG. 8, a person is having ozonated blood 80 injected into a treatment location 24, their shoulder and a magnetic ozone interface 90 configured to direct the ozonated blood 80 to the treatment location. An ozonating blood apparatus 82 is drawing blood 81 from a patient 21 , adding ozone 30 to the blood to produce ozonated blood 80 that is being injected into the patient’s shoulder, the treatment location. The ozonated blood 80 is being drawn to the treatment location by a magnetic ozone interface 90 having a porous magnet 92 to allow the flow gas therethrough and a pressure apparatus 70 configured to produce a vacuum pressure on the magnetic ozone interface 90. The pressure apparatus 70 has a pressure display 76 and a pressure controller 72 to change the pressure on the magnetic ozone interface. Also, additional ozone 30’ may be injected into or proximal to the treatment location via an introducer 31, such as an ozone injector 40, having a plunger 44 to force ozone in an internal receptacle 42 through a needle 46 and into the skin 22 and into the body.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 9, a magnetic ozone interface 90 includes a porous magnet 92 having apertures 95 extending from a skin contact surface 91 to a cup surface 93 to allow for ozone 30 to flow through the magnet, and a pressure apparatus 70 to produce a flow of ozone through the magnet. The porous magnet 92 is configured within a gasket 97 that may be affixed to a patient’s body to create a seal around the porous magnet. The magnetic ozone interface 90 has a gas coupling 96 to deliver or remove gas, which may include ozone 30 to the ozone reservoir 94. A magnetic ozone interface 90 may have a reservoir conduit 98 coupled to the ozone reservoir and having a reservoir conduit valve 99 to control the flow of gas to or from the ozone reservoir. In an exemplary embodiment, ozone is supplied to the ozone reservoir and therefore through the apertures 95 in the porous magnet 92 and is bled off through the reservoir conduit. A fresh stream of ozone from the pressure apparatus 70 provides a high and consistent ozone concentration in the ozone reservoir with some gas flowing out from said reservoir through the reservoir conduit.

[0082] A heating element 79 is configured with the ozone cup 34 and configured to heat the skin of the patient for more effective absorption of ozone into the patient. The heating element may be an electrically resistive heating element or a radiant heating element, a light with a wavelength configured to heat the skin.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 10, an ozone introducer 31 has an ozone cup 34 with a light emitter 77 configured to emit light onto the skin of the patient and/or food product.

[0084] As shown in FIG. 11 , an animal-based food product 15, such as a chicken breast, is being sterilized with an exemplary ozone therapeutic treatment apparatus, wherein the chicken breast is configured in an ozone cup and a magnet 50 is configured on the opposing side of the chicken breast from the ozone cup. The ozone 30 is drawn through the food product 15 to sterilize the food product. The magnet may be coupled to a conveyor belt 28 to enable high speed sterilization of the food product 15. A light emitter 77 may be configured in the ozone cup 34 to produce a light onto the food product. The light may be an ultraviolet light that is configured to disinfect the food product by destroying or inactivating pathogens.

[0085] Referring now to FIGS. 12 to 14, an exemplary magnetic ozone interface 90 has a ring magnet 53 coupled to an ozone cup assembly 33 having an internal ozone cup 34 surrounded by a collection cup 37. The internal ozone cup 34 receives ozone 30 from an ozone source 32 that may force ozone into the interior of the ozone cup 34 with pressure, as indicated by the pressure gauge 35. The ozone source may be an ozone generator 38 and may produce pure ozone with a concentration as shown in the concentration gauge 39. The collection cup 37 is configured around the ozone cup and configured to capture an ozone that leaks from the interior ozone cup 34. The collection cup is coupled with an ozone destruction device 120 that may create a vacuum pressure as indicated by the pressure gauge 126 and controlled by the pressure regulator 122. The magnet 50 may be a ring magnet 53 with a center aperture 95 to allow the ozone to pass into or out of the body 20, or through the skin 22. The ozone cup assembly 33 may be attached to the magnet 50 to prevent leakage of ozone between the ozone cup assembly and magnet. The magnet may be a switchable magnet configured to turn on and off.

[0086] A collection cup 37 may include a ozone destruction material 374, that is configured to destroy the ozone, such as by reaction on a catalyst. Manganese dioxide is an ozone catalyst.

[0087] As shown in FIG. 14, an exemplary magnetic ozone interface 90 is wrapped around a person limb 23, their leg, and comprising an internal ozone cup 34 and collection cup 37 configured around the collection cup, and a magnet 50 configured over a treatment location. Again, the magnet may be a switchable magnet configured to turn on and off. As described herein, an exemplary magnetic ozone interface may be configured to wrap around a body part including over the shoulder, head, around the back or hip of a person or animal and the like.

[0088] As shown in FIG. 15, an exemplary 90 magnetic ozone interface is configured on a person’s head with introduction of the ozone into the internal ozone cup 34 of the ozone cup assembly 33 and withdrawn by the collection cup 37. An ozone injector 40 may be used to inject ozone into the brain as well and this injected ozone may move across the brain to the magnetic ozone interface.
