Prolozone therapy uses ozone, a super-charged version of oxygen, the universal fuel to turn on growth factors in tissue that don't heal well.
We breath O2. Ozone is O3 - three oxygen molecules, so it provides a super source of the universal fuel for tissue growth.
A reason that cartilage tissue doesn't heal well, especially as we age, is because it lacks vascularity - blood circulation, which muscles, skin and other tissues have in abundance.
Dr. Frank Shallenberger reasoned that he could improve the effects of Prolotherapy, which injects an irritant, like dextrose, into connective tissue to cause inflammation in the tissue so that scarring creates new tissue.
Dr. Shallenberger thought that if he added ozone (O3) to Prolotherapy, the oxygen would provide the missing fuel that would allow the body's natural growth factors to do their work, growing new tissue.
And so he created Prolozone Therapy.
My Father's 75-year old wife lived with nearly bone-on-bone knees for year. She's strong, but you could tell that she moved in pain.
After she had several sets of Prolozone injections from Dr. Shallenberger her knees became pain-free and fully functional. It's like she has new knees.
My knee pains were much less than hers, so I decided to try it. I found a local doctor who Dr. Shallenberger had trained and had several sets of injections over a period of a couple months and can report that it works.
Further, my skeptical knee doctor had a before MRI of my right knee. After Prolozone an after MRI caused him to call me to tell me, "Michael, the MRI shows what appears to be new cartilage where you had the injections."
Because I had third party confirmation of this effect I started to tell people about it. First, I sent out an email to the 300+ friends and family on my email list.
And now you're reading about it on my website.
