ROYAL OAK, Mich., July 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Woodside Animal Clinic in Royal Oak, Michigan is pleased to announce the addition of ozone therapy to its list of veterinary and holistic services. Ozone therapy offers promising treatment options for a wide range of health conditions that impact household pets, including birds, cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, rodents and ferrets. Ozone therapy was developed in Germany and has been used by veterinarians for more than 30 years. It is currently practiced by both physicians and veterinarians in Germany, France, England, and Canada as well as in 14 U.S. states.
Dr. John Simon of Woodside Animal Clinic in Royal Oak, Michigan, believes offering ozone therapy is a great way to use the power of nature to heal many conditions that are common to household pets. "Ozone therapy," says Dr. Simon, "is arguably the most powerful detoxification therapy available today. Using it on pets allows their immune systems to function more effectively in order to protect them against many diseases."
Ozone therapy works to protect against fungal, bacterial and viral infections as well as to treat many diseases that are common among pets. It also offers anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects thereby reducing pain and alleviating discomfort. Its ability to stimulate the immune system is very important when it comes to treating infectious diseases and cancer. Among the key benefits of ozone therapy is the way it works. It detoxifies the body by adding oxygen while removing various toxins from the body. "Since a lack of oxygen on a cellular level is one of the key conditions for the formation of cancer, it can be argued that ozone therapy helps to create an atmosphere that is hostile for the growth of cancer in the body," says Dr. Simon. Ozone therapy further aids in the body's resistance to cancer by increasing the production of antioxidants in the animal's body. These antioxidants latch on to free radicals in the body rendering them harmless and creating an environment that is patently unfavorable for the formation and/or growth of cancer.
This type of therapy can help treat a wide range of conditions, including: respiratory diseases, feline leukemia, canine malignant lymphoma, fungal infections, allergies, skin infections, infected wounds, ear infections, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune disease, heart disease, liver disease and kidney disease.
Treatment with ozone therapy is safe because the animals themselves indicate if they are getting too much ozone by coughing, during treatment. Pet owners interested in setting up a holistic consult pertaining to ozone therapy should call for an appointment at (248) 545-6630.
