Following the Opinion Article of Prof. Travagli, towards which I express the widest endorsement and sharing, I would also like to outline my opinion on a topic that is still the subject of debate within the various Ozone Organizations around the world. After years of discussions on the usefulness of the Ozonated Saline (OS) technique compared to the more common Indirect Systemic Intravenous Ozone Treatment (formerly MAHT), I would like to highlight the knowledge and the scientific data on the topic with the aim to allow all our colleagues to evaluate independently and seriously the merit of the topic. The position of the WFOT was clearly expressed in a document years ago. Given that my vision as a researcher does not allow me to deny a priori the supposed efficacy or usefulness of emerging techniques based on the use of complementary resources other than purely pharmacological ones, I still want to clarify that the acceptance of new methods or therapies must always be accompanied from serious and proven hypotheses on the probable molecular mechanisms according to the principles linked to the key disciplines of medical activity including bio / chemistry, physics / medicine and human physiology.Downloads
