The benefits of acupuncture are particularly helpful for people with chronic diseases. Because these individuals often need to take many medications with multiple side effects, acupuncture can greatly improve their quality of life by helping with mood, energy and sleep without creating more side effects.”

Ozone Therapy is On the Rise
The pandemic is still marching a round the country, continuing to disrupt our lives.
There are many ways to enhance immune system; and the more of them we implement into our daily life, the merrier. Just taking vitamin C, or quitting smoking is not enough. Improving our resistance to diseases must include stress management, adequate physical activities, healthy eating habits, competent supplements. Well, sometimes even that doesn’t work due to “bad” genes or already existing conditions.
The answer is to get an extra boost with advanced alternative modalities, such as Ozone Therapy.
It is what we have done at American Regenerative Clinic efficiently for last three years. We use the most sophisticated equipment in the world for multiple pass systemic ozone therapy. Each pass consists of 150 mL of medical grade ozone at concentration up to 70 Dr. Andrey Lutskovsky gamma. Each treatment ozone dose depends on patient’s response. The whole procedure lasts about an hour.
This treatment has been shown to improve circu-
lation, immune system and oxygenation of the whole
body. It stimulates production of new stem cells, activates existing ones; and it kills all kinds of bacteria, spirochetes, viruses, fungus, even cancer cells. High Dose Ozone rebuilds mitochondria as an energy source and generally revitalizes the whole body, slows down telomeres shorten-ing and doesn’t deplete the body of important electrolytes and other micronutrients.
High Dose Ozone is recommended as prophylaxis from once a month to twice a year. It works great as detox,
anti-aging, energy boost and immune system enhance-
ment. It is 100% natural and is internationally recognized as one of the safest therapies in all of medi-cine.
Intravenous ozone gains its popularity in the world, along with other ozone applications (ozonated water, oils, creams; ozone insufflation, bagging, sauna, etc.).
We provide free consultation, and package deals. Get your immunity to the higher level!
