Immune disorders: modulate immunity, don't just suppress it

When the body attacks itself

Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and vasculitis are autoimmune diseases: the attacking antibody doesn't come from outside, the body produces it. They are slow but devastating, mimic many other illnesses and usually take time to diagnose.

They affect skin (the "butterfly" rash), joints, gut, kidneys, blood vessels and the endocrine system, with constant infections. Treatment is continuous and involves multiple drugs.

Frequent manifestations

• Butterfly-shaped facial redness
• Joint pain and swelling
• Extreme fatigue and unexplained fever
• Diarrhea and cramps
• Kidney problems
• Repeated infections
• Sun sensitivity
• Raynaud's phenomenon (cold, pale fingers)

Corticosteroids and immunosuppressants control flares at the cost of lowering defenses. Ozone modulates the immune system: it reduces inflammation without suppressing the ability to fight infection.

Major autohemotherapy: immunomodulating ozone

Ozone in the blood blocks the oxidative systems behind inflammatory processes, activates the body's own antioxidant enzymes and improves the cellular energy production the disease drains. It improves immunity — the key point in these conditions — and helps space out flares and lower drug doses, always in coordination with your rheumatologist or internist.

How the treatment works

1. Evaluation: review of diagnosis, labs (antibodies, kidney function) and current treatment.
2. Autohemotherapy cycle: 2 sessions per week, 40 minutes.
3. Rectal route: gentle alternative for patients with difficult venous access or anemia.
4. Follow-up: lab monitoring and coordination with your specialist to adjust medication.

Who is a candidate?

Patients with lupus, scleroderma, vasculitis, Sjögren's syndrome, psoriasis, autoimmune thyroiditis and inflammatory bowel disease. Specific contraindications (uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, favism, pregnancy) are ruled out at the evaluation.
