Roberto Quintero and Adriana Schwartz, respectively legal advisor and president of Aepromo, have analyzed in a systematic and documented way, what is the legal situation of this medical therapy in different countries. The results of their research are in:
- Ozone Therapy Global Journal (formerly Revista Española de Ozonoterapia (Vol. 2, No. 1, 2012). https://ozonetherapyglobaljournal.es/en/ozonoterapia-y-legislacion-analisis-para-su-regularizacion/
- 2nd updated and extended edition May 20, 2015. https://isco3.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Update-May-2015-for-ISCO3.pdf
The research has been carried out with a dual purpose:
(a) That ozone therapists, with valid legal tools and scientific instruments, work so that ozone therapy is duly regulated in their countries.
(b) That the health authorities duly regularize the practice of ozone therapy, based on the criterion that it is a medical act and a complementary therapy.
