Back Pain Relief Works as Fast But Lasts Longer Than Cortisone
Jan 4th
Back Pain Relief That Works as Fast But Lasts Longer Than Cortisone Two months ago, I told you about Prolozone, a tremendous breakthrough in pain management. With Prolozone, we inject an oxygen/ozone gas mixture into painful and inflamed areas. It causes an extremely fast healing response. Now we have proof that this treatment is even better than the standard steroid shot for pain relief.
Each year thousands of Americans are subjected to epidural injections of steroids for low back pain, sciatica, degenerative arthritis, etc. It’s sort of a one-size fits all treatment. You have degeneration, let’s shoot it with some steroids. We’ll knock out the pain for you. Don’t worry about the toxicity of the steroids. Just enjoy the pain relief now. That’s the mindset of the typical American doctor. Well, leave it to the Italians to show us up. Italian researchers studied 306 patients 166 had primarily disc disease and 140 had non-disc vertebral disease. All of them had acute or chronic low back or sciatic pain. The researchers gave them one of two treatments. The first treatment was an X-ray guided injection of an oxygen/ozone gas mixture. This injection went into the area of nerve exit from the spine. The second treatment was the standard injection of steroids around the spinal joints.
Neurologists who did not know what injection the patient received (hence the study was blinded) evaluated all of the patients. There was little difference between the two forms of injection for short-term pain relief. Both worked, with 80% of the patients reporting clear improvement. Most had complete remission of pain at one week.However, at six months, the gas proved far more effective for those with disc disease. Of 86 patients getting the O2/O3 gas mixture, only 13 (15%) had poor outcomes. The steroid injection group had a 22.5% rate of poor outcomes. Among patients without disk disease, 6 of 70 (8.6%) receiving the gas had a poor outcome. But 21.4% of those getting the steroids had a poor outcome. The oxygen/ozone treatment beat steroids long-term for both disc and non disc pain.
However, for that non-disc pain group, they said the difference was not statistically significant. What that means is that there was a 10% possibility that ozone’s superiority to steroids for non-disc long-term improvement was due only to chance. I know the odds on a craps table. Ozone was clearly superior in my book.
There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of epidural steroid injections in America every year. I will admit that the literature suggests that complications from these injections are uncommon. While I have seen permanent pain relief from these injections (after several injections), the effects are usually short lived. And, repeated injections of steroids have significant long-term risks. Steroids are potent blockers of inflammation.They also reduce collagen production, leading to long term weakness of the tissue injected.
On the other hand, the ozone gas mixture has several positive actions. It normalizes the levels of inflammatory chemicals, beneficially increases key enzymes, minimizes toxic reactive free radicals and, most importantly,improves circulation. After all, ozone is oxygen the most important nutrient for cellular and tissue repair. Where there is inflammation, there will always be a deficiency of oxygen. And oxygen is the key to actually rebuilding the tissues.Cortisone may block pain. It may reduce inflammatory chemicals. But ozone modulates inflammation. That means it brings the process into balance. It doesn’t simply suppress one necessary arm of healing (inflammation). It promotes the healthy balance of chemicals that oppose wanton inflammation. It provides oxygen the starving cells need to actually repair and rebuild tissue. Cortisone does nothing of the kind. Instead, it knocks out the ability of the cells to make collagen.
Even better: You might not need the X-ray guided needle to get terrific results. Since it’s a gas, and not a liquid, it has much greater diffusion capacity. Dr. Shallenberger and I are seeing oxygen/ozone administered via standard prolotherapy techniques (needling) into more sensitive areas that rival the results of X-ray guidance.Prolozone is nothing short of miraculous.
The authors of the Italian study concluded: Our most interesting finding was the increase in the number of patients with disc disease (disc-induced pain) who reported an improvement in symptoms. This finding supports other evidence that O2-O3 infiltration affects not only the symptoms but also the cause of pain by accelerating the natural recovery mechanism of disc herniation.If you’d like more information on Prolozone, please read my report on it in the March 2009 issue.

Missionaries for Compassion works against ‘tide of anti-immigrant sentiment’
SB81 » Group opposes Utah’s new immigration law.
http://www.sltrib.com/News/ci_12582703
Provo » When Victor Rodriguez was in elementary school, teachers pulled him out of class to test his English proficiency every year, even though he was born in Provo and spoke English without a trace of accent.
It was one of the ways the son of Guatemalan immigrants was made to feel separate from his white peers.
After he graduated from high school, Rodriguez served a Mormon mission in Nicaragua, where he was continually impressed by the kindness and welcoming treatment he received from complete strangers. So, it seemed all the more jarring when he returned home to a growing anti-immigrant sentiment.
Now 25, Rodriguez is part of a newly formed group of returned LDS missionaries dedicated to reminding fellow Mormons how their sons, daughters or siblings were welcomed, fed and sheltered during their religious stints in Latin America or in stateside immigrant communities.
Missionaries for Compassion Toward Immigrants was founded by Aaron Petterborg, a 26-year-old Brigham Young University student living in Provo. The Texas native, who is white, served an LDS mission in Salt Lake City, preaching largely to undocumented immigrants, and was disturbed by many Utahns’ treatment of that community.
The group has 188 members on Facebook and a core of about 40 members who actively participate in gatherings. They volunteer for service projects and also engage fellow members of The

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in dialogue about immigration and immigrants.
“We hold antagonism toward immigrants in general and adherence to Gospel principles to be intrinsically conflicted,” the group’s charter states. Missionaries for Compassion has drafted a petition asking people to support the rights of all community members, regardless of their legal status.
Petterborg plans to have the group work with state legislators in upcoming sessions to change or repeal SB81, Utah’s immigration law set to take effect July 1.
But more important to Petterborg than persuading politicians is changing the mindset of Utah residents.
“Even more powerful than a political change is the change that happens with our communities,” he said. “What people think is much more important than what a law says.”
Petterborg points to scriptural references that he says teach compassion toward all of God’s children. One example is the Book of Mormon story of King Benjamin in Mosiah Chapter 4, where the king admonishes his subjects not to turn away anyone in need of help, and not to blame them for their situation. The lesson culminates in the thought: “Are we not all beggars?”
The group references the church’s belief that all souls need “saving ordinances” – sacred rites including baptism and temple ceremonies – to get into heaven and that immigrants willing “to deal with their documentation status” should be allowed such ordinances even though they have broken immigration law.
But Ron Mortensen, of the Utah Coalition on Illegal Immigration, calls the group’s stance hypocritical. A returned LDS missionary himself, he stresses the religion’s Twelfth Article of Faith, which mandates all Mormons follow the rule of law.
“You can be baptized if you’re an illegal alien using stolen documents and someone else’s identity and committing perjury on an I-9 form, but they couldn’t be baptized for drinking a cup of tea,” he said.
“It just seems [Missionaries for Compassion] really are working out of pure compassion and totally out of emotion,” Mortensen said. “If they are so concerned about these individuals, are they willing to give them their names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth so they can limit the damage they are doing to other people in order to get jobs?”
But the group’s goal is lauded by Latino community activist Michael Clara, who is in the leadership of a Spanish-speaking LDS congregation.
“I applaud this group, but I think it’s an indictment of people that we have to have returned missionaries teach us the value of and need for exercising Christian values,” Clara said. “I think it’s needed to open our eyes to the reality of practicing our religion.”
Missionaries for Compassion member Raquel Zarco Gonzalez, who is from Mexico City and served her LDS mission there before attending BYU, said she faced some hostility when she first arrived.
“Many people believe that illegal immigrants come to cause trouble, but students who come here to go to the university come here for the same reasons, and some students are legal, some not,” Zarco Gonzalez said. “The reasons are not different. I want people to see beyond papers and see the real reasons people are here.”
Missionaries for Compassion is quick with the disclaimer that it does not represent the LDS Church’s official stance. The members are simply interpr
