Dott. Dario Apuzzo, medico presidente AIRO: l’Ossigeno-Ozono Terapia agisce su Covid-19 direttamente.

 by Giulio de Nicolais

Buongiorno Dott. Apuzzo, ci parli di lei e della sua attività.

Sono medico fisiatra e presidente AIRO, Accademia Internazionale Ricerca in Ossigeno-Ozono Terapia. Mi occupo di Ossigeno-Ozono Terapia da 26 anni e conoscendo bene gli effetti di questa terapia, ho messo a punto con il mio gruppo, nonché con ISCO3, International Scientific Committee of Ozone Therapy, di cui rappresento l’unico membro italiano, un protocollo per il trattamento del Covid-19. La voglia e la convinzione di poter aiutare molte persone affette dal Corona virus ci ha portato a chiedere l’autorizzazione a procedere con la sperimentazione (a costo zero) in diversi ospedali del Lazio, ma al momento non siamo ancora riusciti ad averla. Un vero peccato, perché si tratta di una terapia naturale, senza effetti collaterali e senza controindicazioni.
 
Qual è il “razionale” della terapia, perchè l’Ossigeno-Ozono Terapia potrebbe contrastare il Covid-19? 
 
L’Ossigeno-Ozono Terapia agirebbe sul virus sia direttamente, inattivandolo quando si trova nel sangue, fuori dalle cellule, impedendogli in tal modo di attaccarsi e penetrare nelle cellule, sia indirettamente, modulando la risposta immunitaria dell’organismo. L’azione fluidificante dell’Ossigeno-Ozono sul sangue poi, potendo in un certo senso simulare l’azione dell’eparina, protegge l’organismo dalla formazione di coaguli intravascolari, che, giunti ai polmoni, possono rappresentare una delle cause principali dell’insufficienza respiratoria, per la quale quindi più che la ventilazione sarebbe importante la risoluzione dei coaguli stessi; d’altro canto, l’apporto di ossigeno direttamente nel sangue consentirebbe di bypassare almeno in parte l’apparato respiratorio, piuttosto compromesso dal virus, ossigenando così l’intero organismo. Molto importante  anche l’azione antiinfiammatoria della miscela gassosa, che contribuirebbe alla risoluzione dei sintomi.
 
Grazie Dott. Apuzzo per averci concesso questa intervista su una tematica così attuale.
