Katie: Whats up, and welcome to the Wellness Mama Podcast. I’m Katie, from wellnessmama.com. And this episode is all about ozone and find out how to use ozone remedy at residence. I’m right here with Micah Lowe, who when his brother developed a uncommon mind most cancers, and have become a guinea pig for medical establishments, it left him with different crucial considering processes he as soon as had. So Micah turned to alternate options in hopes of discovering some assist for his brother. And in the midst of nursing faculty, got here throughout ozone remedy. He then took a journalistic method to essentially researching and understanding ozone. And he now’s, as I stated, a journalist on behalf of ozone remedy, and he has rippled his work into over 10,000 medical doctors and others working towards the ozone remedy, and has labored with tons of of 1000’s of sufferers receiving ozone remedies. He’s an proprietor of Merely O3, which is an ozone tools firm. And his mission is to cut back struggling on this planet. He thinks ozone is without doubt one of the main methods we will try this.
And on this episode, we go deep on what ozone is, the numerous ways in which you should utilize ozone remedy at residence, the different sorts and the way they affect the physique in a different way, together with native software versus systemic use. We discuss several types of set up of ozone, together with rectal insufflation, ear insufflation, and extra. use ozone to assist oral well being. make ozone water or oil at residence. The explanation that individuals are cautious about not inhaling ozone and the way it may be uncomfortable within the lungs, but it surely’s fantastic for different areas of the physique. We discuss why ozone is a hormetic remedy, and why it’s a pure highly effective antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal. After which additionally we discuss somewhat bit about biohacking and a few of his personal private non-negotiables for well being. So in the event you’ve ever been interested by ozone or eager to strive it at residence, this episode has all the knowledge you have to try this. And let’s be a part of Micah Lowe. Micah, welcome. Thanks a lot for being right here.
Micah: Yeah, thanks a lot. I respect it.
Katie: Properly, I’m excited to study every part ozone from you as we speak, as a result of this has been a analysis subject for me and one thing I’ve been experimenting with. However earlier than we soar into that, I had a pair different fast issues that I might love to only discuss to you about. The primary being, I feel you’re additionally engaged on a constructing venture of type of a biohacker house playground the place folks can come go to. And I’ve achieved one thing comparable the place I stay, when folks come go to us. And it’s the place the place I maintain the entire sort of extra obscure biohacky tools. And I might simply love to listen to what you’re stocking yours with.
Micah: Yeah. I imply, the final idea is, as a result of we’re in mid-Michigan, and I need to incentivize folks to come back go to us. So, like, household and mates coming round, I needed to have an area for them. And our home is fairly small, too. So we will’t actually match a ton… We don’t actually have any house in there. So I wanted one thing separate. However yeah, I imply, so far as like instruments, I simply need to have, like, ice bathtub, sauna, pink mild remedy, clearly, ozone remedy. And we’ll sort of see what comes up. However yeah, simply prime six or seven issues I might say in all probability in there, in all probability gained’t be loaded out with a ton of stuff. However I feel it’ll be enjoyable to do with household and mates.
Katie: I like that. And I even have a observe that ice baths removed your bronchial asthma signs. And I’m curious your expertise with that, as a result of I nonetheless have a love hate relationship with ice baths. However I do them as a result of I do know that they’re nice. However what occurred? How did they eliminate your bronchial asthma?
Micah: Yeah. So I received into it not understanding something about the advantages of, like, chilly publicity, or actually understanding something… Like, I had seen, clearly, movies of individuals doing polar plunges, however by no means actually… I believed it was one thing that loopy folks simply did for enjoyable and for the fun of it, proper? However we exit to Washington within the summers to stick with my spouse’s aspect of the household. And so they stay within the what’s known as the Hood Canal. So it’s an inlet from the ocean. And the water is somewhat bit cooler than regular. I don’t know, possibly, like, 65 levels, not tremendous chilly. Nevertheless it was chilly sufficient to when it could be like a pleasant summer time day, like, 90 levels out, 85 levels out, I’d jumped in, and my lungs would assemble to the place I couldn’t discuss. So it was sort of embarrassing, simply, like, leaping into completely regular water virtually, and simply being, like, “Oh, I can’t breathe. I can’t discuss to folks.” After which takes me some time to regain my breath and that sort of factor. So it mainly got here from embarrassment. However my thought line was, I’m wondering if I can observe this. I’m wondering if I can observe chilly publicity. And I might get basically extra attuned or extra accustomed to the chilly and my lungs would get higher, or at the very least not constrict up after I received chilly.
And so I began with chilly showers. I’d simply do, like, a two-minute respiratory train. And I’d do the chilly showers or the chilly baths. Generally I’d simply draw chilly bathtub water. And I might do it for at the very least a few minutes. And I seen, like, my respiratory and my tight chestedness would go away for somewhat bit afterwards. After which I saved on doing it for a pair months. After which yeah, simply after some time, I used to be like, I don’t have any bronchial asthma signs anymore. They’re simply gone. And it was actually the one factor I had applied into my life at that time, was the chilly publicity. So I do know it was from that. And I can extra confidently say that as a result of I’ve, like, no pores and skin within the recreation. I don’t promote any ice bathtub stuff or something like that. And, , I be ok with saying that. However yeah, for me, it removed my bronchial asthma signs. And I’ve simply saved on taking place the rabbit path and discovered lots about chilly publicity. I’ve an Instagram that’s, like, in all probability 30% chilly publicity. And I do quite a lot of stuff on that simply because I actually prefer it.
And yeah, it has a ton of advantages to it that I didn’t even find out about simply by, like, rising your metabolism or rising brown fats, which is a secretory organ that helps with, like, thyroid manufacturing. So in the event you’re low or excessive on thyroid, it may modulate that and all types of actually cool stuff. So, now I do, like, 33-degree water virtually every single day for 3 to seven minutes, and don’t have any downside with my lungs constricting.
Katie: That’s superior. I used to be excited after I discovered that the brown fats side, staying in barely hotter…nonetheless cool, however, like, within the 50s water for longer intervals of time, may also be useful for brown fat. And I sort of alternate, however I really feel prefer it’s far more bearable to only sit in a nonetheless chilly however barely hotter bathtub and take heed to a podcast than to get in that, like, that…32, 33 is biting, like, chilly. So I’m impressed that you simply’re doing that every single day.
Micah: Properly, you must work as much as it. And I feel there’s one thing I’m drawn to when there’s, like, one thing useful like train or ice baths that has some ache related to it, that I’m simply, like, naturally inclination in the direction of as a result of it’s like a problem to a level. And so, for me, I truly sit up for it and revel in it. Or Todd Shipman was telling me about Kambo. After which these women I used to be with was saying, “Oh, he virtually died. It’s like an eight-hour factor.” And I used to be, like, virtually . After which he’s like, “No, it’s like a 30-minute factor.” And I used to be like, “Oh, I’m offered. I’m going to do Kambo.” Simply virtually as a result of it’s somewhat bit troublesome to do, .
Katie: I find it irresistible. I’ve additionally achieved Kambo with Todd many occasions. And I’ll hyperlink to our podcast about it within the present notes for anyone who that’s a brand new idea for. However I’m most excited as we speak to study from you about one thing that you’re an knowledgeable in, that I’m simply starting to study, which is ozone remedy. And there’s quite a lot of completely different instructions we might go on this, after which we are going to hopefully get by means of most of them. However to begin off broad, are you able to simply stroll us by means of what ozone is, ozone itself?
Micah: Yeah. So, lots of people have heard about, like, the ozone layer, or ozone as a pollutant. It’s a gasoline, proper? So ozone is O3, whereas oxygen is O2. So it’s very carefully associated to oxygen. It simply has that additional oxygen atom on there, which makes it very unstable. However we will produce pure medical grades of this ozone gasoline. And we will elicit quite a lot of advantages from it. So it’s utilized intravenously, it may be utilized rectally, vaginally, onto the pores and skin, into the mouth. There’s quite a lot of alternative ways. And so they all have their completely different functions, so that you don’t simply do, like, the identical factor for everyone, proper? Is dependent upon, like, do you will have dysbiosis, like, intestine points, versus a vaginal an infection, versus a systemic an infection like Lyme illness. So, there’s quite a lot of completely different functions. However basically, we’re taking this ozone gasoline, medical grade gasoline, and making use of it someplace into the physique.
Katie: I really feel like for lots of people, possibly they’ve solely heard of ozone in relation to, like, the ozone layer or ozone within the environment, or one thing like that. And so I feel it’s fascinating to know that there are some actually distinctive and particular makes use of, such as you stated, within the physique. And I’m curious how you bought into ozone remedy, as a result of I really feel like that is one thing that has been round for a very long time. Nevertheless it’s additionally type of simply rising as a extra out there at-home sort of modality.
Micah: Yeah. So, it’s sort of a protracted story, however to not go on too lengthy with it, basically, my brother had a glioblastoma and a uncommon type of it. In order that’s mind most cancers. And he was going by means of the Johns Hopkins medical system, which is, , the poster youngster of, like, drugs basically, proper? It’s actually good for, like, most cancers analysis and all types of stuff. And he lived previous the timeframe that they thought he would stay, or that basically another sufferers would and stated, “Hey, we don’t actually know what to do at this level. We will do some experimental stuff and sort of see what occurs.” And they also did. They did quite a lot of experimental stuff.
So in a single instance, they gave him a really poisonous, like, , chemotherapy drug, that solely was imagined to work with 13% of individuals primarily based on a sure genotype they’d. So he had an enormous discount in high quality of life between that, like, open mind surgical procedures that had been experimental and completely different stuff. So, sort of seeing the monitor file of that, it was like, effectively, what are some pure issues that may be useful, or some alternate options on the market that may be useful? You realize, possibly this technique clearly simply doesn’t know precisely what to do. So that they’re making an attempt stuff out, and it’s significantly decreasing his high quality of life.
And he had misplaced quite a lot of his crucial considering processes by means of these open mind surgical procedure. So he was a very clever man. However, , that took away from a few of his potential to sort of assume by means of a few of that stuff. So, our household and myself included, sort of began to enterprise into different issues. So he began with, like, hyperbaric oxygen, which was massively useful for him. It significantly improved his high quality of life, his power, decreased poisonous uncomfortable side effects. And thru simply, like, sort of that analysis and that opening of a paradigm, changing into extra conscious that, hey, there’s this entire world of pure, integrative different modalities that may be useful. You realize, possibly not FDA accepted, however they’re, like, protected and efficient, and work for lots of various stuff. Simply actually opened up that world. We discovered ozone remedy. And there’s quite a lot of analysis on it, serving to with most cancers sufferers present process chemotherapy. In that it significantly reduces fatigue, significantly improves high quality of life. Some analysis indicating that it may even induce apoptosis, which is like programmed cell demise of the most cancers, and a few issues like that.
On the similar time, I used to be going by means of nursing faculty sort of considering I’d develop into a health care provider finally and undergo the traditional route. I needed to get into, like, Mercy Ships and a few philanthropic stuff. That’s what I needed to do with my life at that time. However yeah, I simply seen this actually huge paradigm distinction between what I used to be being taught in establishments and sort of what I used to be beginning to hear from all these medical doctors I used to be speaking to, that had been integrative and pure.
And so the basic factor that simply sort of clicked for me was, I used to be speaking with this one pharmacist at one level, and I had simply learn Dr. Frank Shallenberger’s ebook on… I can’t keep in mind the title of it. It’s like sort two diabetes breakthrough or one thing. However I used to be, like, effectively, particularly about people who find themselves not too long ago recognized with sort two diabetes. Why are we simply saying, get on Metformin and improve your dose over your lifetime till you die. We all know that there’s life-style components, that there’s different issues that we will do, not even simply by different strategies, however standard, proper? That we all know that we will do, that would doubtlessly reverse this. And the reply was, effectively, we don’t have a drug that cures it but. And it’s like, effectively, that basically encapsulated… And I feel she was somewhat bit irritated with me at that time. So she simply gave me, like, a response like that.
Nevertheless it actually sort of encapsulated what I used to be listening to within the paradigm of thought by means of standard drugs, is, like, effectively, we glance to medicine, and prescriptions, and invasive applied sciences that price some huge cash and make us some huge cash as the first mode of medication. After which on the opposite aspect, integrative drugs being, like, effectively, I need to discover the foundation trigger. I need to use first “do no hurt”, discover issues which might be non-toxic, which might be useful for folks. And that was simply, like, that’s what I’m gonna do.
So I received into that. And I used to be actually fascinated by ozone remedy being a very expansive topic over 2000 medical research on the time. However there actually simply wasn’t quite a lot of implementation when it comes to, like, quite a lot of medical doctors within the U.S. utilizing it and that sort of factor. So, I sort of noticed it as a chance to develop into a journalist on behalf of ozone remedy by basically writing articles, doing movies on all this analysis, and compiling it into, like, simple to know stuff. So, like, what’s up with ozone remedy in most cancers, moderately than going and studying 50 research. So I did quite a lot of stuff like that, that basically helped me acquire some traction. After which began an organization known as Merely O3, that gives ozone remedy tools. So, that’s sort of… I do know I stated, it’d be quick, it may be for much longer. Yeah, that’s how I received began.
Katie: Yeah. And I feel some essential similarities and factors there. I additionally even have a background in journalism, that was my unique diploma. And after I had my very own well being struggles, I received into the well being house and realized I might draw on my journalism background to type of pull that data and make it accessible to shoppers. And it sounds such as you’re doing that within the ozone house, which I like. As a result of, like I stated, originally, this can be a subject that for some time has appeared very sciency or out of attain, or both too costly or too difficult for folks to make use of at residence. And I really feel like by means of training and thru the merchandise you will have out there, you’re bridging that hole. You additionally talked about in that story about one of many remedies not being FDA accepted. And I feel this is a crucial level to the touch on. As a result of within the pure well being world, there’s so many issues that will or might not have FDA approval. And I feel as shoppers, it’s essential to have the ability to have a look at these and actually consider type of the chance and advantages.
And if it’s one thing that’s usually thought-about protected, or that has very low threat of one thing damaging occur, however may doubtlessly have advantages, even when it’s not FDA accepted, it nonetheless is likely to be price experimenting with on our personal. And I feel, like, I might undoubtedly put ozone in that class. I’d love to begin sort of delving into a few of the several types of ozone therapies and the best way that ozone can be utilized, particularly in a house setting.
So, for context, I’ve achieved, I imagine it was known as EBO2, the place blood was taken out and run by means of lighting and ozone, and doubtlessly another issues, after which put again in. Which is, I feel, on the acute extra medical aspect of how ozone can be utilized. And now attending to experiment at residence, I a lot choose the modalities I can do at residence which might be much less invasive and far inexpensive. So possibly stroll us by means of what are a few of the ways in which ozone can be utilized therapeutically at residence?
Micah: Yeah. So, such as you stated, there’s form of a complete medical aspect to it. And there’s quite a lot of stuff that you are able to do there, something from joint regeneration, pores and skin regeneration, so like aesthetics, making your pores and skin a lot nicer. All the best way to, like, IVs and systemic therapies that profit the entire physique. However there’s counterparts to doing that at residence. So you will get, like, say IV ozone remedy, that’s the massive canine, proper? Has essentially the most advantages to it, actually useful, and that sort of factor. There’s truly counterparts to that that also elicit the identical advantages, possibly not fairly as strongly, however nonetheless elicit the identical advantages. And people two are rectal and vaginal insufflation. Not very glamorous, however they do work rather well. In order that’s why individuals are utilizing them for Lyme illness, most cancers, mildew toxicity, autoimmune situations, infectious illness, and bringing it into their very own residence. And it may be actually useful in that regard.
However yeah, basically at residence, there’s two completely different classes of find out how to apply it. One is regionally. So if I had been to take, like, the ozone gasoline and fuse it into water and make ozonated water, I can lavage a wound with that ozonated water as an alternative of utilizing, like, an antibiotic or one thing like that.
However that’s not going to profit my entire physique. That may profit just like the MRSA, or the contaminated pores and skin, or no matter I received happening there. So that will be an instance of, like, an area remedy of ozone remedy. It impacts one space. After which you will have systemic, which implies it’s eliciting a whole-body response. So that will be, like, immune modulation, balancing out the immune system, enhancing microcirculation, oxygen effectivity, and a few stuff I’m positive we’ll get into. However the two methods to do this systemic remedy are vaginal and rectal insufflation. And that mainly entails taking a small quantity of ozone gasoline and placing it up there.
So, rectal insufflation takes, like, three minutes. It’s not like an enema that you have to maintain, as a result of the response time is so quick. So, actually, the entire course of is simply capturing a small quantity of that gasoline into, like, somewhat bag that’s made for it. A small catheter, smaller than a pencil goes up, and you then roll the bag down. And that’s it. After which vaginal insufflation is somewhat bit longer. It’s like extra of a 5-to-10-minute protocol. That’s the place you will have, like, an insert that’s made for us. So it’s an ozone insert. After which it pushes the ozone gasoline in constantly for a couple of minutes.
So these are the 2 greatest methods to do it at residence. However once more, it relies upon. So you probably have an ear an infection, do an ear insufflation. Actually, simply head points. As a result of there may be some systemic side to it. However you probably have an ear an infection, you may do ear insufflation. When you’ve got a cavity or a tooth an infection, or one thing like that, you may swish round to ozone water. When you’ve got abdomen infections like Helicobacter pylori, which is much more widespread than folks prefer to assume, or parasites, consuming the ozone water might be useful. The ozonated oils can be utilized on the pores and skin. There’s ozone saunas you are able to do. And yeah, there’s about seven alternative ways you are able to do it at residence. However I might say the massive ones for folks to sort of take away with could be rectal insufflation as a result of that has the systemic profit, in addition to the intestine advantages. And there’s a lot… You realize, so many individuals are going through some type of intestine concern, proper? Whether or not that’s dysbiosis, or leaky intestine, or sensitivities to meals, what have you ever, might be actually useful. And it balances out that microbiome, permits the constructive microbiome to happen, along with these systemic advantages. So it’d be rectal insufflation, ozone water, and ear insufflation are sort of the massive three folks do at residence.
Katie: That’s actually useful to know. And I’d like to go somewhat deeper on the vaginal and rectal insufflation makes use of, as a result of I didn’t notice till you simply stated that, that these had been truly thought-about systemic functions. It is sensible, the others are extra native. However is it due to these areas, it’s capable of truly then type of systemically be used all through the physique, which differentiates it from such as you stated, utilizing it on a wound or within the ears?
Micah: Yeah. So, it’s basically that they’re extra receptive. So, like, the explanation… Like, rectal insufflation could be very receptive as a result of the mucosal lining, basically, the ozone interacts with that. It creates what are known as lipid peroxides, and another stuff. And that’s absorbed into the portal vein and goes as much as the liver, has a systemic impact to it. And with that, it’s very, very receptive. After which vaginal insufflation, it’s not fairly as, like, fast. In order that’s why you want extra of a steady move of, like, 5 to 10 minutes. It’s known as the endothelial. However that’s mainly simply the tissue, , in sure components of the physique. Simply isn’t fairly as receptive, so that you want extra of a sustained publicity to it. And yeah, you’ll get a systemic impact from it.
Katie: And in addition to make clear, I do know folks might have heard in the event that they’re aware of ozone, that you simply don’t need to inhale ozone straight. I’d love so that you can clarify, like, why you’d need to watch out with getting an excessive amount of of it in your lungs, and likewise how that’s completely different than as an example, these different makes use of, like, vaginally or rectally, that we talked about so far as why it’s useful in these areas, however not within the lungs.
Micah: Yeah. So, that’s the place ozone actually will get a foul rep, by sort of standard. I’ve but to discover a detractor that’s, like, extremely educated on ozone remedy, has gone by means of quite a lot of the literature and nonetheless is like, yeah, this factor sucks. It’s not price it. It’s harmful. So lots of people have ideas about ozone, that means they know, like, that you may’t breathe it, proper? And there’s quite a lot of literature and analysis on that, as a result of they analysis floor degree ozone, which is what’s produced when you will have air pollution. And so you possibly can’t breathe it as a result of there’s no antioxidant buffering system within the lungs. And the antioxidants are the issues that shield the physique from oxidants, like ozone. So, whenever you breathe in ozone gasoline, it interacts straight with the lung tissue, inflicting irritation. Now, in the event you try this for a protracted sufficient time frame, it may trigger some injury and issues like that.
However that’s actually extra pertaining to, like, actually extended publicity, like, eight hours a day. So a few of the analysis is taking a look at, like, folks working in industrial dimension laundromats which have, like, huge ozone turbines which might be simply working all day, and so they’re in there for like 10 years. The opposite factor could be, like, tremendous excessive doses, so, like, getting a very robust dose of ozone and simply inhaling it in and holding it. Yeah, that would trigger some injury. You don’t essentially need to try this.
Once we’re doing ozone remedy, although… By the best way, it’s completely, like, protected to scent a small quantity. You may scent it at as little as 5 components per million. So it’s one of the detectable molecules we all know of by scent. And OSHA has an ordinary that’s, like, means above that of what’s deemed to be protected to scent. However you at all times scent it earlier than it’s at a degree that will be dangerous. You realize it’s dangerous when, like, you will have a tickle at the back of your throat are coughing. And dangerous within the sense that you simply simply don’t need it. I’m not saying it’s dangerous within the sense that, oh, wow, now we’ve got everlasting injury to your lungs. No, that’s actually extra from that extended publicity or sustained publicity that you simply’re doing for a protracted time frame.
So so long as you don’t, like, lock your self in a room with it, and keep in there for a number of hours, coughing and hacking and also you’re like, oh, I’m simply gonna push by means of. Yeah, don’t try this. However yeah, when it comes to like, rectal, vaginal, IV ozone, why can we apply it there, and it’s protected? Like, you’d assume that one thing that you may’t breathe shouldn’t be utilized to those different components. Properly, it’s as a result of they’ve that antioxidant buffering system. So these antioxidants within the blood, once we apply the ozone, it interacts instantaneously with the antioxidants. And we all know how a lot is in there. So we all know, like, don’t dose over it, after which trigger extra stress to the physique. And so it’s all within the dose, actually. However yeah, that’s why you possibly can apply it to different components of the physique and it’s protected. And it’s a small stress to the physique, too. So it’s known as a hormetic remedy. And the explanation for that’s as a result of we’re utilizing a stress response to construct again a stronger physique. And we haven’t even gone into all the advantages but. However basically, , that will be like ice baths, that will be like train, that will be like sauna. There’s quite a lot of various things which have a stress response, that construct the physique again stronger.
And that’s actually… Like, you possibly can extrapolate that precept into different areas of life, like studying, that’s considerably of a demanding scenario or a problem that’s troublesome, however you’d develop into extra clever, or no matter it’s. And so that you see that replicated all through quite a lot of areas of life. And ozone is a kind of, the place we’re inducing a small quantity of stress, it interacts with the antioxidant enzymes, causes a number of, like, free radicals and that sort of stuff, which do get somewhat little bit of a foul rep. However the physique responds by creating endogenous antioxidant enzymes, which implies it’s going to have the ability to shield cells higher, it’s going to have the ability to get all types of useful stuff.
Katie: That is sensible. And I suppose earlier than we go additional into the house use, it is likely to be good to delve somewhat bit into, you talked about the advantages of ozone. And I like that you simply outlined it as a hormetic stress, as a result of most of the issues that we discover have the longest-term greatest advantages like train, like sauna use, are hormetic stressors, to your level. What are a few of the advantages that we see when folks use ozone both acutely or commonly?
Micah: Yeah. So I suppose there’s a pair alternative ways you possibly can go at that. You may discuss sort of the advantages individuals are seeing primarily based on the illness that they’ve. I listed them off earlier. However the 5 most typical causes that folks use are most cancers, Lyme, autoimmune, infectious illness, and mildew toxicity. However there’s far more than that. There’s like over 150 completely different ailments or indications that it’s been studied for. However the different option to go at it, I suppose, could be, like, to say what’s taking place within the physique. So I’ll begin there, after which we will work again the opposite means. So, by means of that mechanism that I described, that it goes into, like, the blood, interacts with the antioxidant enzymes and create some stuff that the physique responds to, and comes again stronger. You get improved microcirculation, which sounds actually benign, proper? That’s blood move. So enhancing blood move. And lots of people have seen when you will have, like, a product that may be a comparability of blood move earlier than and after utilizing their product. You realize, it’s normally a darkish discipline microscope, which you’ll see the pink blood cells and all that sort of stuff.
Seems, that’s fairly simple to do. There’s quite a lot of completely different therapies that enhance microcirculation. Nevertheless it’s truly actually essential. And ozone remedy, I feel, is sort of a subsequent degree of that as a result of it really works with issues like peripheral vascular illness, which is when blood isn’t attending to the areas it must. And it might truly remediate that. However that’s actually essential for nutrient and gasoline change. So our blood has to go to all these completely different areas of our physique and provides it the vitamins that it wants. That features your organs, your fingertips, all over the place in your physique. After which the blood accepts the byproduct that has been constructed up after which removes it. So, enhancing microcirculation improves that basic course of. And these are simply, like, the 4 classes I normally divide it into. It does much more, however simply when it comes to simplicity, and I feel general essentially the most legitimate. Immune modulation, so that will be, like, when your immune system… Properly, it brings your immune system into steadiness.
So in case your immune system is over-performing, like, an autoimmune dysfunction, the place it begins to assault the physique itself, it helps to quiet that down. And if it’s underperforming, like, say any person has most cancers or simply their immune system isn’t working fairly correctly, it helps to spice up it up. So it’s not simply an immune enhance, it’s an immune balancer. And whenever you right one thing like that, it autocorrects quite a lot of different stuff within the physique. The third factor could be, like, oxygen effectivity. So there’s a certain quantity of oxygen I’m inhaling, proper? I’m simply inhaling oxygen proper now. And you may measure that. Nevertheless it’s not telling you ways effectively your cells are utilizing that oxygen to transform it to power, as a result of they require oxygen to transform that to power. So ozone remedy is significantly useful in enhancing oxygen effectivity, which is why it’s utilized by quite a lot of skilled athletes and issues of that nature, as a result of they fatigue much less shortly. They’ve higher metabolism, all that good things.
After which the fourth factor could be mitigation of oxidative stress. So, oxidative stress is theorized to be the main reason for growing old and illness from a basic standpoint. So, like, that’s what’s taking place in our physique that truly causes illness, that truly causes growing old. And what that’s, is that’s a steadiness between your antioxidants and your free radicals.
Free radicals are these cell signaling molecules which might be actually useful, they inform the physique what to do. However when there will get to be too a lot of them, they don’t know what to do. And so they begin to throw wrenches into the system, damaging mitochondria, damaging our power output, and killing off stuff, proper? So we don’t need too a lot of them. And that’s what’s taking place with oxidative stress, is you’re getting this imbalance between your antioxidants and your free radicals. So that you need to deliver your free radicals down so that you’ve a much less chance of growing old and illness. And that’s precisely what ozone remedy does, as a result of it creates extra endogenous antioxidant enzymes within the physique.
So meaning I’m naturally, by myself, producing extra antioxidants, that’s going to assist cut back the chance of growing old and illness, and shield my cells. And people could be sort of the 4 major issues that it’s doing inside the physique. After which we will go extra in depth on one other angle, in order for you.
Katie: I’d like to go deeper on a few of these, like, sensible makes use of. So we talked a good quantity in regards to the insulation makes use of. I really feel like for mothers and children, the ear makes use of might be actually fascinating as a result of ear infections are extra widespread in youngsters due to the best way their eustachian tubes are, in addition to sinus infections are sometimes extra prevalent in youngsters at sure ages. So I’m curious how… Are you able to sort of stroll us by means of how this methodology is used? Like, clarify type of how lengthy, how we set this up, any security concerns and utilizing it this manner?
Micah: Yeah. So one other means to have a look at ozone is that it’s actually highly effective antifungal, antibacterial, antivirusidal, and all that good things. However yeah, so if my youngsters get, like, an ear an infection… And Wesley truly did, I feel, like a month in the past, however we don’t want antibiotics for that sort of factor. And the reason being, is as a result of I can take some ozone gasoline, and I can push it into his ears. And that’ll wipe it out. And it does it fairly shortly. And it’s actually good at doing it.
So, ozone might be… I don’t know if there’s something higher. There may very well be. However I feel it’s the most effective issues that I’ve ever come throughout for, like, ear and sinus infections. As a result of it’s stronger than antibiotics. It doesn’t have any draw back of destructive results affecting, like, the biome and all that stuff. As a result of as soon as it’s used, it mainly reverts again to oxygen. So that you push within the ozone gasoline into the ears, and that truly does have an effect on the sinuses, it does have an effect on the throat, as a result of there’s these little tubules within the ears that join all these things. So you possibly can push it into the ears and sort of have a full head remedy. And that ozone gasoline goes in and dismantles the micro organism, the fungus, or the virus. And it reverts again into oxygen as soon as it’s achieved. And it’s actually, actually efficient at doing that.
So, basically, you simply do it, like, twice a day. For teenagers, I normally don’t give, like, suggestions or recommendation on that. However I can say what I did with my youngsters. So I took, like, a small syringe, which is like 60 CCs, it’s not very huge. I dropped this ozone gasoline, and I put a Q tip on the tip of it. After which I push it into their ear. And I try this twice a day. And that removes it. We’ve even had nice success from, like, clients and shoppers telling us that with, like, power ear infections, too. There was one mother who she known as… And I was on the cellphone with the corporate too, proper? So I sort of naturally grew with this entire factor, which was actually cool. As a result of I used to do delivery, and telephones, and all that stuff. However I keep in mind she known as in and was like, sort of, , had a involved tone. And it was one thing of the reply, like, she by chance broke her ozone machine or one thing like that. And he or she was saying like, “That is the very first thing I’ve used that has helped my son along with his power ear infections. And he’s lastly, like, making progress to the place he doesn’t have them. However I’m actually scared to cease doing it as a result of I don’t need them to come back again.”
So we ended up, like, overnighting our machine, so she might do it. However I’ve, like, dozens of occasions one thing like that has occurred the place a guardian has been capable of eliminate, like, power ear infections with it. So yeah, it’s actually useful for that stuff. And, , the opposite aspect of it, taking a look at, like, antibiotics or one thing like that, has such detrimental long-term results that they’re the very last thing I might in all probability have a look at, , not the primary line.
Katie: Yeah, to not point out I’ve had pediatricians on this podcast earlier than who defined, the overwhelming majority of ear infections can’t be successfully handled with antibiotics, as a result of they’re not attributable to one thing that antibiotics are efficient towards. And that almost all resolve on their very own, or with pure remedies in the identical period of time that the antibiotics might resolve it in the event that they had been going to work. So usually individuals are utilizing these and so they might need a placebo impact. However we’re decimating intestine micro organism within the title of treating an ear an infection, and it may not even be efficient.
And, in fact, I’m with you, like, I prefer to keep away from antibiotics at any time when potential. And I do know they definitely have their time and their place. And I’m grateful they’re there in these occasions and locations, but it surely’s additionally no secret within the U.S. that we are likely to overuse them. And that antibiotic resistance is changing into fairly an enormous downside. So when there’s a pure different that’s thought-about protected, it looks as if at all times a significantly better first line of protection. Not less than that’s at all times been my tackle it.

You talked about a couple of minutes in the past, making ozone water. And I might love for selfishly private use, as a result of I now have an ozone machine. And I’ve been studying find out how to use it. Simply sort of a primer on how to do that in order that I could make this in my own residence. And type of, like, how do I make it? How do I retailer it? How a lot to devour? The whole lot to do with ozone water.
Micah: Yeah. So, ozone water is whenever you take the gasoline and also you infuse it into the water and it saturates it with ozone. It doesn’t final very lengthy, although, as a result of keep in mind, I discussed that ozone is unstable. Meaning it begins to interrupt down and revert again into oxygen. So if I infused water with ozone gasoline, each half-hour, the power of it reduces by 50%. So meaning, like, in an hour, you’d be at 25% of what you had been whenever you first ozonated it when it comes to power. So that you do have to make use of it fairly shortly. And that’s why you possibly can’t simply, like, bottle it and ship it, or can it and ship it someplace. It needs to be made on web site. And that goes for any ozone software. However yeah, you possibly can lavage with wounds, limb bagging would truthfully be higher. So you probably have, like, an an infection, you possibly can put a bag over the realm, after which infuse the ozone gasoline in there. However you possibly can lavage it with ozonated water. And that’s going to be useful for killing off the an infection, stimulating collagen manufacturing, and regeneration, and stimulating development issue as effectively.
However in all probability the first use of ozone water as folks drink it, is the commonest. And like, the state of analysis on consuming ozone water is just not very superior. So, like, lots of people are consuming it and saying, “I get this outcome. It helps with my Lyme illness. It helps with my mind fog.” No matter, , it helps with like quite a lot of stuff, folks say. And in order that’s on one aspect the place there’s all this anecdote of it being useful for folks.
On the analysis aspect of issues although, it’s actually solely been studied for, like, Helicobacter pylori, and parasitic infections, giardiasis, issues which might be sort of…abdomen ulcers, issues which might be within the abdomen, within the higher intestines, and that sort of stuff. So, the analysis mainly says that it appears to be fairly protected, helps to take away these infections, doesn’t have damaging impact on the microbiome. Nevertheless it’s actually good. Like, I feel they removed 76% of giardiasis utilizing ozone water, and ozonated oil capsule tablets. So you possibly can take, like, capsules of ozone oil and eliminate that.
However I drink it, not every single day. However, , I nonetheless drink it as a result of I don’t see any draw back to it. And there is likely to be the upside of that it’s serving to with, like, the microbiome. Or possibly it does have some systemic results. So possibly it’s serving to with power manufacturing, and my physique is ready to metabolize higher, and use power, and mitigate oxidative stress. So, that’s usually how I take advantage of it. However yeah, basically, so far as truly setting it up, there’s, like, this particular bubbler. So there’s, like, this glass equipment piece, that’s the place the water is. And you’ve got it linked to your machine. After which you will have an oxygen tank, and also you flip your oxygen tank on, flip your machine on, after which it begins creating that ozone water. And you then simply use it inside half-hour. And you may drink, like, as much as 16 ounces a day of ozonated water. Some folks do extra. I’ve heard of individuals consuming, like, as much as a gallon, which is lots. I don’t assume that’s vital. However I might say simply consuming, like, a glass of it a day, you probably have some abdomen points may very well be fairly useful.
Katie: Yeah, I’m excited to experiment particularly possibly very first thing within the morning on an empty abdomen and when the physique is of course somewhat bit dehydrated from sleep. Attempting small quantities of ozone water so I can gauge the impact and likewise strive it with my youngsters. So I’m excited for that. And also you additionally talked about ozonated oil, which is it one thing else that we will make together with your system? And in that case, how do you make and use ozonated oil?
Micah: Yeah. So, ozonated oil is usually used within the pores and skin, within the mouth, and you may digest it. On the pores and skin, lots of people use it for magnificence care, as a result of there’s research on it displaying that it helps to regenerate collagen, stimulate development issue. So, meaning nicer pores and skin. Nevertheless it additionally has antiseptic properties. So, like, when it comes to pimples, it may assist to eradicate infections, cut back irritation, and all that sort of stuff. So, that’s the commonest use is like magnificence care, is that it’s used for. However actually the place it shines is infections. So if there’s, like, an an infection… Like, I received this cat chunk, I feel it was like two years in the past now. You realize, I grew up with cats, and I’ve cats, so I’m simply sort of used to, like, cats sort of biting you, proper? Or, like, nipping at you. However this cat was a neighbor cat. And he was sort of harassing my toddler on the time. And so I went on the market and was like, “Oh, I’ll simply decide the cat up and take him residence, and eliminate him.” As a result of he was sort of harassing my child. However he didn’t like that. So he actually sunk his enamel into my wrist. And it penetrated, like, as deep as his tooth would go.
And I didn’t assume a lot of it. It was the worst cat chunk I had ever had, however didn’t assume a lot of it. And a few days later, my arm was, like, swollen as much as previous my elbow, like, actually dangerous. It was like a balloon. And I used to be like, “Oh, effectively, what occurs when that reaches my coronary heart? Most likely not good.” Began to analysis on it. And yeah, it may truly flip into like a severe an infection with all types of points. So I talked to my physician, advised him about it. And, , and began doing ozone at that time, too. And he gave me some antibiotics. I by no means took them. I simply needed them there sort of as a, like, security precaution, as a result of, , I don’t need to play with my life or high quality of life. However I ended up simply with ozonated oil, and ozone limb bagging, eliminating the an infection fairly shortly.
And that’s actually the place these things shines, like, the ozonated oil, is diabetic ulcers, non-healing wounds. And other people virtually don’t imagine you. Like, you possibly can discuss to a podiatrist and be like, “Yeah, this closes up like non-healing wounds and diabetic ulcers.” And we’ve had a number of occasions inside every week, these begin to shut up, even when they’ve been open for a very very long time. So it’s actually, actually good at that.
However so far as, yeah, use at residence, if there’s one thing on the pores and skin that you simply don’t like, you may give it a shot, and it’ll in all probability assist to a level. I feel it actually shines within the infections. And you can also make it at residence. I don’t usually advocate making it at residence. And the reason being, like, in the event you even have an an infection, or a non-healing wound, or one thing up that alley, I’d say simply get the skilled power stuff. It’s like 20 occasions stronger. Like, the stuff that we make. And also you simply can’t get that power out of what you’re doing at residence. So you possibly can take the ozone and bubble it by means of oil, and it begins to saturate the oil.
The distinction with ozonated oil and ozonated water is that it’s far more steady. So it stabilizes as an ozonator, a peroxide truly, within the oil. And that has, like, a two-year shelf life. So it doesn’t simply, like, revert again into oxygen or something, it’s far more steady. So you can also make it at residence. And also you basically simply should run the ozone gasoline into the oil for, , 4 to eight hours, which is sort of a very long time. You find yourself utilizing quite a lot of oxygen. After which you must get extra oxygen.
So I feel it’s sort of a… Right here’s what I inform folks. If you happen to like DIY initiatives, and that’s one thing enjoyable for you, then go for it. However you’re actually not going to save lots of… You’ll save somewhat bit, however you’re actually not going to save lots of a lot cash or time versus simply shopping for it. So I feel shopping for it’s higher simply from the angle of power, it’s extra steady. You additionally run the chance of making aldehyde, particularly formaldehyde in ozonated oil if it will get too sizzling. So, I feel there’s some obstacles to creating it at residence. However it’s good. Like, I feel it has an amazing internet constructive impact. So it’s simply usually not my go to, to make it at residence.
Katie: Gotcha. I’m curious in the event you made it at residence, it clearly wouldn’t be as robust such as you stated, however I’ve been an enormous fan of doing the observe of oil pulling for a very long time, which is swishing oil within the mouth for… And so I’m wondering might that give an additional little enhance to oral well being, even when it’s not going to be as robust because the one you’d need to use on, like, a wound as an example
Micah: 100%. So, like, you possibly can do oil pulling with ozonated oil. And the additional benefit that’s, like… Properly, the explanation we do oil pulling, proper, is that enamel are like tubules. So there’s all these little tunnels and issues that it has to undergo. And it takes some time for an oil to get deep down into the tooth the place an an infection is likely to be current. In order that’s why your oil pull as a result of it offers you 15, 20 minutes of getting it down there.
With ozonated oil, it has the additional benefit of being an anti-septic. So now you took that ozone oil, you will have the bottom results of it, that are constructive, some antiseptic properties, , in olive oil itself. However now you’ve actually made it lots stronger by ozonating it, so it’s far more able to eliminating the an infection. And I do know dentists that say it helps with, like, remineralizing enamel and issues of that nature. I don’t know a ton on that, as a result of I don’t assume there’s any nice analysis saying that. However that’s extra like clinically, dentists will use it for that.
Katie: And also you talked about how ozone might be naturally antiviral, antibacterial, and so on. I’m curious if individuals are utilizing ozone for the primary time, can they expertise sort of a Herxheimer, or die off response from it being so highly effective?
Micah: Yeah, 100%. So you must respect it as a remedy. So a Herxheimer response is when you will have a burdened immune system, so you will have pathogens and bugs floating round your physique. Properly, what occurs whenever you flip the immune system on, it creates a bunch of, , kills off the pathogens, making a bunch of endotoxins, making you’re feeling fairly sick. So, that’s avoidable. And the best way to keep away from it, if any person is basically sick, they need to be speaking with a practitioner, and, like, sort of going by means of a protocol and a program, like, particularly within the case of extreme Lyme, mildew toxicity. As a result of they’re gonna undergo a few of the life-style modifications that have to occur, opening up detox pathways, after which implementing ozone. However regardless, it’s at all times good to begin low with ozone. Like I stated, folks simply, , are likely to not notice how robust the remedy is. And when it’s in your individual residence, you simply don’t respect it the identical. However yeah, you have to begin low and go gradual. And so we’ve got, like, protocols that define that. I’m truly sending out an electronic mail with an up to date protocol record tomorrow. However simply following that, and never simply leaping full bore into the, like, full dose. That’s actually one of the simplest ways to keep away from the Herxheimer response, as a result of that may lay out for a number of days. So it’s completely avoidable, although.
Katie: And I listened to you, I imagine it was on Luke Storey’s Podcast, whenever you defined the distinction in sure forms of ozone tools, and the way you actually need to watch out of what sort of apparatus you’re getting and the supplies used. As a result of a few of the much less…like, the cheaper fashions may even have one thing that’s interacting negatively with the ozone, making it not solely much less useful, however doubtlessly dangerous. Are you able to clarify type of what to look out for when somebody is wanting to buy ozone tools?
Micah: Yeah. And a part of me doesn’t like speaking on this subject, as a result of I promote tools. However, , I strive as greatest as I can to be extra simply an advocate for the remedy and journalist, and that sort of factor. However so ozone is unstable, proper? It’s a really unstable molecule, which implies that it desires to tug different stuff aside. So in the event you put it on to, like, a latex glove, you’d see it in actual time simply begin to rip up and disappear. Properly, why? As a result of it’s oxidizing that glove. That glove is just not made of fabric that’s immune to ozone. So you will have supplies that aren’t immune to ozone. And when the ozone interacts with them, it breaks them down, producing, like, microplastics, or metals, or various things. After which in the event you’re placing that into the physique, clearly, no bueno. So that you don’t need to try this. However yeah, with machines, folks at all times attempt to discover workarounds when it comes to, like, DIYing it, or discovering low-cost ones. Or there’s even some corporations on the market that simply produce junk, simply because there’s a marketplace for it, proper? So that they sort of see a chance there.
And an important factor is that every one the supplies inside the ozone generator are immune to ozone, that means they gained’t have a response. There’s simply not a response out there for them to have. In order that’s not going to provide micro plastics, or metals, or something like that. So there’s actually solely three corporations in america that if I used to be a client taking a look at, would advocate. So there’s us, Merely O3, Longevity and Promolife. I feel an important factor is that you simply’re 100% comfy with no matter firm you select. However these are good corporations. Exterior of that, don’t purchase something for ozone remedy, I might say. I haven’t seen anything that I feel is, like, yeah, that’s good to make use of. And there’s various different corporations on the market that simply lower corners, don’t do high quality management, or simply don’t even know. They simply discover a provider, begin promoting the stuff, and actually simply aren’t educated on it. So, I feel it’s essential as a result of whenever you’re making an attempt to get higher, you don’t need to introduce extra toxicity into the physique, as a result of like we stated, first do no hurt. And so I feel in the event you’re doing that you possibly can doubtlessly be introducing hurt to your physique. And it’s, , completely avoidable.
Katie: Yeah, I respect, like, the reason there on what to be careful for. I’ve seen a few of these sort of cheaper ozone machines that I might guess have a few of these issues, and that simply appeared to have dangerous evaluations and that they stopped working comparatively shortly. And I’ve to date been actually having fun with attending to strive yours. And I’m excited to now strive a few of these new makes use of that I simply discovered about from you and implement them in my home. On the finish of interviews, there’s a number of questions I like to ask. The primary being if there’s a ebook or variety of books which have profoundly impacted your life. And in that case, what they’re and why.
Micah: I might say the Bible is primary. You realize, I used to be raised in a Christian residence and nonetheless have a religion in that. And that non secular has been a catalyst to quite a lot of my beliefs, proper? Of, like, doing enterprise with integrity, and the way you take care of folks, and simply the ideas of giving. You realize, it’s clearly an enormous factor that folks spend their life finding out. So, , individuals are conscious that there’s lots there. However yeah, that will be primary. Quantity two would in all probability be “ Win Buddies and Affect Folks.” Like, 5 years in the past, I couldn’t do that podcast with you simply because I used to be so I feel egocentric in a means, insecure, proper? Like, insecurity, it may correlate with that. So, I feel I simply wouldn’t have been capable of get a phrase out and discuss. And in order that that ebook was actually useful, although, and simply, like, placing on some actually useful instruments to have the ability to work together with folks. I do know that’s extra from a private perspective, not ozone remedy. Particularly ozone remedy, although, sort two diabetes breakthrough was an enormous one, not as a result of it was so, like, novel and thoughts blowing, and all that sort of stuff.
However simply the timing of it, being within the two completely different paradigms, one standard, one pure. And sort of at battle with what I used to be listening to. And that was actually simply sort of launched at a very good time that allowed me to ask some questions, that was actually useful. However yeah, I’ve learn a ton of books, simply self-help, enterprise, and that sort of stuff. And people have all been useful. After which ozone remedy, there’s not a ton of nice books on it, to be sincere. I’m truly writing one. I feel we’re gonna name it “The Ozone Breakthrough.” It must be out in like six weeks or one thing like that. However that’ll be I feel, higher than another ebook I’ve learn on the market on ozone remedy to date. You realize, hopefully, in a pair years, I’ll have one other higher one.
Katie: And I do know you guys even have a very complete information in your web site. I’ll ensure to hyperlink to the web site so folks can discover the entire sources and academic data, in addition to hyperlinks to all of the merchandise that you simply guys have. I additionally am curious, as a result of we talked about biohacking somewhat bit originally. And also you talked about ice baths and a few of the different stuff you’ve tried. And with all that about well being and wellness, what’s your private type of 80-20, your non-negotiables that you simply implement as an everyday a part of your routine?
Micah: Properly, so far as instruments, it could be ozone remedy, sauna, and ice bathtub. So these could be, like, the three instruments that I am going to. And coincidentally, they’re all hormetic therapies, proper? So that they’re inducing small quantity of stress. However yeah, past that, it’s similar to good sleep, good air, good water, good meals, good reference to different folks. Like, I strive to not overcomplicate it. I feel, such as you stated, it’s in regards to the 80-20. So conserving your eyes on the fundamentals is basically is what’s going to provide one of the best well being. And never getting misplaced within the novelty of all these, like, hacks and issues you are able to do, as a result of there’s a lot you are able to do.
However is methylene blue actually that useful whenever you’re consuming quick meals every single day? Most likely doesn’t overcome that. So concentrate on that first. And I’m an enormous fan of truly simply, like, working outdoors on initiatives. One, I feel it’s, like, therapeutic in a means and a chance for me to show my youngsters stuff, and discuss with them, and converse with them, and contain them on one thing that feels productive for me, and a studying expertise for them.
Nevertheless it additionally…by no means considered it this manner rising up, however now being in biohacking, you get all of the grounding, you get all of the publicity to the microbes. I feel the train, being very practical in that, like, you’re chopping wooden, or laying mulch, or constructing one thing or no matter it’s, is a very good practical train. And also you normally do it for a number of hours at a time. So that you get good train out of it. However yeah, I feel it’s easy in that, like, don’t overcomplicate it.
Katie: I like that. And I’ll say, in over 600 episodes of this podcast, that appears to be an rising pattern amongst consultants, not a pattern, an rising theme with consultants, is that you may’t out-supplement a foul food plan, you possibly can’t out-biohack any of those fundamentals, that are…that we’re people meant to stay in the environment as people. So get daylight, get sleep, have good group, after which construct from there. Like, these superior biohacks should not going to save lots of you from a scarcity of these types of core foundational issues that we want as people. And I like that you simply put that so effectively when in your rationalization. And lastly, in all probability not a query you’ve gotten on a podcast about ozone earlier than. However I’ve a observe that you’ve, additionally that you simply make actually massive scrabble boards. And I simply need to hear somewhat bit about this as a result of I like entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship. And that is one I’ve not heard about. I find it irresistible.
