ABSTRACT
Three methods of ozone therapy (intravenous injection of ozonized physiologic saline, oral intake of ozonized low-mineral water and combination of the two treatments) were compared by efficacy in 215 patients with gastroduodenal pathology associated with Helicobacter pilori. All the techniques of ozone therapy proved effective in relation to regress of clinical symptoms, regeneration processes, eradication of Helicobacter pylori, but the combined regimen was the best.

Experimental evidence on stability of chemical composition (1991-2004), toxic and skin-irritating, mitotic and mutagenic, bacterio- and fungostatic actions of low-mineral water "Salekhard" with a high concentration of organic substances justifies initiation of clinical trials of therapeutic effects of this novel balneological factor in different diseases (locomotor, nervous, cardiovascular, cutaneous, etc.).
