MAH Ozone Therapy in Bellport, NY
Mary-Beth Charno, NP, provides consultations regarding MAH ozone therapy at her Bellport, Long Island, practice. She has completed ozone therapy training with Dr. Frank Shallenberger and is a member of the American Academy of Ozonotherapy.
What Is Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) Ozone Therapy?
Major autohemotherapy (MAH) is a procedure in which a patient's blood is withdrawn, exposed to a controlled oxygen-ozone mixture and then returned to the bloodstream. The procedure is not an established treatment for many of the conditions for which ozone therapy is promoted, and patients should discuss potential risks, limitations and available evidence with their healthcare professional.
Autohemotherapy means “self-blood.”
During treatment, blood is gently removed, mixed with medical-grade ozone, and then re-infused into the patient.
Ozone, made of three oxygen atoms (O₃), quickly breaks down into O₂ plus a single reactive oxygen atom. This produces ozonides, which interact with tissues to energize cells, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation.
Because oxygen drives energy production, ozone therapy helps restore balance and provides the body with the fuel it needs to heal.
How Does it Work?
About half a pint of blood is drawn and mixed with saline and ozone gas.
The ozonated blood is slowly dripped back into the body through an IV.
As ozone breaks down, the resulting ozonides activate healing processes by:
Enhancing oxygen delivery
Supporting mitochondrial function and ATP production
Reducing oxidative stress and inflammation
Stimulating balanced immune activity
Conditions Supported by Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy has been studied for its potential role in supporting:
Lyme borreliosis
Chronic infections (including herpes, fungal conditions, cystitis)
Autoimmune conditions
Macular degeneration
Oncology support
Allergy, eczema, and inflammatory bowel disease
Healthy aging
Benefits of MAH Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy has the potential to:
Improve circulation by reducing arterial buildup and enhancing nutrient delivery
Cleanse the bloodstream of cholesterol, fats, and toxins
Support immune balance—stimulating without overstimulating
Reduce chronic inflammation and oxidative stress
Boost mitochondrial energy production, improving fatigue and stamina
✨ For Lyme disease specifically:
Studies (2012, 2015) show ozone therapy may reduce fatigue, joint pain, and cognitive impairment in patients who did not fully respond to conventional therapies. Many patients also report improvements in quality of life and reduced inflammation.
