Contraindications of autohemotherapy

To put it bluntly, autohemotherapy is to inject one's own blood back into the body to stimulate the body's regenerative cells for treatment. However, not all situations are suitable for treatment with one's own blood. For many diseases, it is not only unsuitable, but it can also make the patient's condition worse. People with excessive thyroid hormone secretion, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, and some pregnant women are contraindicated for autohemotherapy.

Hyperthyroidism

For patients with hyperthyroidism, whose metabolic rate is high, supraphysiological doses of thyroid hormones can stimulate the formation of mRNA, promote the production of proteins and various enzymes, and promote the decomposition of liver glycogen, thus accelerating the utilization of sugar by peripheral tissues and having the effect of lowering blood sugar. However, ozone therapy can increase the body's metabolism, thereby aggravating the patient's symptoms, so it is contraindicated for patients with severe hyperthyroidism.

Favism

Favism is a form of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in which exposure to fresh fava beans causes acute hemolysis on the basis of hereditary G6PD deficiency. Since G6PD deficiency is hereditary, more than 40% of cases have a family history. Ozone may cause hemolysis, especially for patients with 6-phosphate glucose dehydrogenase deficiency. Since they cannot produce enough reducing substances - (reduced coenzyme II), the reduced glutathione is reduced. When encountering oxidants, the red blood cell membrane is easily ruptured and hemolysis occurs. Reduced coenzyme II is a coenzyme of glutathione reductase and is important for maintaining the membrane integrity of red blood cells. Therefore, it is contraindicated for patients with 6-phosphoglucoside dehydrogenase deficiency.

People who are allergic or highly sensitive to medical ozone or anticoagulants

Allergy is an abnormal reaction of the body, which is an abnormal reaction of a person to normal substances (allergens). Coagulation abnormalities, thrombocytopenia, active bleeding. During the treatment of massive autohemorrhage, the addition of sodium citrate (the effect of sodium citrate anticoagulant is that sodium citrate ions react with calcium ions in the blood to form a soluble complex, calcium citrate, which is difficult to dissociate. This complex is easily soluble in water but not easy to dissociate, and the coagulation process is inhibited, thereby preventing blood from clotting.) can aggravate bleeding and lower blood calcium. Here we would like to remind you that purpura is a hemorrhagic disease and is listed as one of the contraindications.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy, especially early in pregnancy. There is no conclusive evidence to exclude the possibility that ozone may cause genetic changes.

Severe anemia

Anemia refers to a common clinical symptom in which the volume of peripheral red blood cells in the human body decreases to below the lower limit of the normal range. Especially for patients with iron deficiency anemia, sodium citrate combines with iron ions to form a complex, further aggravating the anemia.
