What happens when ozone enters your body—and why are people using ozone therapy through saunas, ozonated water, blood treatments and other applications?In this episode of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley speaks with Blake Miller, founder of Ozone Purity and the Ozone for Life movement. Blake has worked with ozone technology and holistic wellness for nearly three decades, focusing on ozone equipment, education and professional and home-based applications.Blake explains how ozone is produced, describes several methods of administration and discusses why proponents believe controlled ozone exposure may influence oxygen utilization, energy, microorganisms and detoxification.The conversation covers:• The difference between ambient-air and medical ozone generators• Why ozone should not be inhaled• Ozone steam saunas• Ozonated water• Rectal insufflation and ear applications• Autohemotherapy and IV ozone• EBOO, or extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation• Professional and home ozone equipment• Questions surrounding dosage, evidence and safety• Blake’s use of dark-field microscopy and live-blood analysisQUICK TAKEAWAY“Ozone therapy” is not one treatment. Ozonated water, an ozone steam sauna, rectal insufflation, autohemotherapy, EBOO and direct gas administration expose the body to ozone in substantially different ways.Any proposed benefit or risk should be evaluated according to the particular route, concentration, dose, condition and quality of supporting evidence. Ozone should not be inhaled, and clinical applications require appropriately trained healthcare professionals.EPISODE TIMESTAMPS00:00 What ozone is and how it is produced01:03 Ozone therapy: promise, controversy and safety02:28 Introducing Blake Miller03:12 Dr. Haley’s previous experience with ozone generators04:45 Ambient-air ozone versus medical ozone05:50 IV ozone and autohemotherapy explained07:12 Ozone saunas and rectal insufflation09:17 How rectal ozone is administered10:01 What happens to the O₃ molecule11:04 Ozone dosing and potential dangers11:40 Ear applications and neurological claims12:24 Evidence, oxygen levels, fatigue and brain fog15:03 The history of ozone therapy16:14 Why Blake believes people use ozone today17:24 EBOO and less-invasive home applications18:53 How ozonated water is made19:41 Ozone, bacteria, gut health and SIBO21:16 Entry-level ozone applications22:03 Home and professional ozone equipment24:01 Measuring results and live-blood analysis24:52 Heavy metals, toxicity and chronic fatigue27:02 Where to find Blake Miller and Ozone PurityRESOURCESRead the complete episode notes and transcript:https://drhaley.com/ozone-therapy-explained/Ozone Purity:https://ozonepurity.com/The Ozone Guru on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/theozoneguru/The Ozone Guru on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@theozoneguruOzone Purity on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@OzonePurityBlake Miller on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/blake-miller-926b4a261/FDA regulation concerning ozone-generating devices:https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/chapter-I/subchapter-H/part-801/subpart-H/section-801.415Related episode—Chronic Fatigue and the “Toxic Five” with Dr. Evan Hirsch:https://drhaley.com/chronic-fatigue-toxic-five/Visit Haley Nutrition and listen to the podcast for the current listener coupon code:https://haleynutrition.com/MEDICAL DISCLAIMERThis episode is provided for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
