Question 1

Is ozone safe?

Accepted Answer

It is indeed safe. Ozone is an age-old natural healing modality and a well-researched therapy, with numerous studies published in medical journals worldwide, including esteemed journals such as PubMed. Ozone has outstanding safety records and astonishing efficacy in virtually all categories of disease due to its anti-oxidant stimulation and energy production capabilities. It has been deemed one of the safest treatments with the fewest side effects.
 
In a 1980 study done by the German Medical Society for Ozone Therapy, 644 therapists were polled regarding their 384,775 patients, comprising a total of 5,579,238 ozone treatments administered. There were only 40 cases of side effects noted out of this number, which represents the incredibly low rate of .000007%. Ozone is only hazardous when it is directly inhaled, as it can irritate the mucous membranes of the lungs.

Question 4

Question 5

Do I have to use all of the technologies?

Accepted Answer

You do not have to do all of the technologies if you do not wish to. You can select which technologies you want before the session starts, and during the session you may also ask for any of the options to be switched off or on.

Question 6

Will HOCATT interfere with my current medication(s)?

Accepted Answer

In most cases the HOCATT™ is very complementary to conventional medications, often enhancing their efficacy. HOCATT™ also promotes the absorption and bio-availability of
nutrients when taking vitamin/mineral supplements. We have even seen many cases where chemotherapy patients using the HOCATT™ not only experience reduced side effects, but also an enhanced efficacy of the chemo. Please consult your doctor about your concerns before startiing HOCATT™ sessions.

Question 7

What is cupping and Vaginal Insufflation? Do I need to do it during my session?

Accepted Answer

The HOCATT™ has a second ozone generator dedicated to auxiliary attachments for OPTIONAL ozone Cupping or Vaginal Insufflation(VI), during or outside of a HOCATT™ session.
Using a glass funnel / set of breast cups focuses a high concentration of ozone over a specific problematic area.
Ozone VI is recommended for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and vaginal infections (yeast / fungal, bacterial, viral). Often these infections decrease fertility, so ozone VI's are highly recommended for those who are looking to fall pregnant. To do the ozone VI, you insert a catheter about 5cm into the vagina.

Question 8

Is HOCATT™ safe for pregnant and/or breastfeeding women?

Accepted Answer

HOCATT™, and especially the VI application, is actually recommended for those who are planning or trying to fall pregnant, and it is safe for breastfeeding women. However, as with most anything, it is advised that you not use the HOCATT™ during the first 3 months of pregnancy, as it is during this time that the fetus is most vulnerable.

Question 9

Can I use the HOCATT™ if I am menstruating?

Accepted Answer

HOCATT™ is contraindicated during menstruation, as it dilates arteries and may increase the blood flow (i.e. you might mess on your towel). If you choose to do HOCATT™ anyway, it is advised that you keep on your underwear and a sanitary pad/ tampon. DO NOT DO VAGINAL INSUFFLATIONS WHILE MENSTRUATING.
