Well, I knew of one vet some distance away who did that in 1995, but don't know any longer if she's still doing that. It was legal for animals, but not for humans. Anyway, I think the concept, from my "layman's" point of view, is: Cancer in general prefers an anaerobic environment (and an alkaline environment, Ithink). So using ozone allows oxygenation. What they did was apply ozone from a tank to her paw (where the tumors were). They also gave her ozone rectally. Was relatively painless for a cooperative pussy cat. Before the treatment, her leg fur was all gone, and her leg was laden with oozing tumors. After the ozone, the hair started growing back almost immediately, and she recovered completely, and is now 16-17. Cost was minimal. I was amazed, cause I've had several pets with cancer who had chemo, and they all died of the cancer. Gloria >Gloria, > >I'm unfamiliar with the Ozone treatments.
