Ozone therapy (intravenous oxygen)

Question
What do you think about ozone therapy??  It is all the craze in CA and NY for sick patients with cancer, MS and other diseases. what about hyper-baric oxygen chambers??

Answer
Well, I have never felt the need to try out such crazes - however, judging from the data and the many negative online reviews, and the fact that ozone has been implicated in air-pollution studies as being harmful to humans if breathed in in large amounts, I'd say that ozone therapy is a waste of time.
Hyperbaric oxygen chambers have been found to be useful for helping divers recover from the bends - they've also greatly helped cancer-sufferers to more effectively heal soft tissue and bones damaged by chemotheray treatments. So, in very unusual cases where a person's tissues are poorly oxygenated(eg:- gangrene) I suppose that hyperbaric oxygen chambers can be useful, but otherwise they can be quite dangerous.

Certainly, since cancer cells seem to do thrive on heavily oxygenated blood, I rather doubt the effectiveness of extra oxygen on cancer patients. Also, excess oxygen has actually proved to be harmful to humans, if breathed in for long periods:-
