Frank Shallenberger, M.D., HM.D., FAAO, founder of the Nevada Center for Alternative & Anti-Aging Medicine and Ozone Therapy Inc. training courses, has been a pioneer in integrative, alternative and orthomolecular medicine since 1974. A trailblazer in the field, he has been practicing medicine and ozone therapy for more than five decades. He sees firsthand the formidable effects on immune function, detoxification and inflammation reduction ozone therapy provides by amplifying the power of oxygen to support and restore the body.

He states, “Ozone therapy is pure oxygen at its highest potency. It’s hard to imagine that there would be any system in our bodies which wouldn’t benefit by this treatment. First, it can take away pain immediately. Secondly, it’s a knockout punch for any virus. That’s huge, because conventional medicine only offers supportive care for virus. No antibiotic exists that can cure a viral infection.”

Shallenberger, known as “The Godfather of Ozone,” explains that ozone therapy may be administered by various methods, each enhancing the body's natural healing abilities. By introducing activated oxygen, it amplifies circulation, combats harmful pathogens and reduces inflammation at the cellular level. This natural, holistic treatment works in synergy with the body, promoting optimal health and long-term wellness.

The concept of using ozone for medical purposes dates back to the late 19th century, with German physician Christian Friedrich Schönbein being credited with discovering ozone in 1840. However, the use of ozone in therapy began to take shape in the early 20th century, primarily in Europe. In the United States, ozone therapy became more widely known in the 1920s and 1930s.

As the founder and President Emeritus of The American Academy of Ozonotherapy (AAOT), a founding member of the International Scientific Committee on Ozone Therapy, and Vice President of the International Medical Ozone Federation, Shallenberger continues to provide full-time primary care to patients of all ages, treating a wide range of conditions. He is a globally recognized authority in ozone therapy and the innovator behind the Prolozone technique, a groundbreaking approach for pain management, tissue regeneration and joint healing.

His publishing output includes The Ozone Miracle, Bursting with Energy, and The Type 2 Diabetes Breakthrough, as well as The Principles and Applications of Ozone Therapy, aimed at medical professionals, among others.

Shallenberger will attend the annual 2025 American Academy of Ozonotherapy meeting from May 8 through 10 at the Omni Las Colinas Hotel, in Dallas. Speakers and exhibitors will be on hand for the many health and wellness practitioners representing a wide range of professionals committed to promoting physical, mental and emotional well-being.

“Ozone therapy as a standalone or complimentary treatment plan plays an important role in many health practices from licensed physicians, chiropractors, naturopaths and acupuncturists to physical and occupational therapists, and those who practice energy healing modalities,” advises Shallenberger.
