Last fall, Dr. Margo Roman, of Main Street Animal Services of Hopkinton (MASH), was among five Americans to attend the fourth World Congress on Ozone and Oxygen Therapy in Rome, Italy. The international event featured three veterinarians and hundreds of medical doctors. Roman spoke about the use of ozone therapy in veterinary medicine.

Since 2004, Roman has used ozone therapy at MASH to treat infection, Lyme disease, cancer, allergies and dental issues. “Integrative therapies like this can help us to avoid more expensive and invasive procedures,” she says. “More people and pet owners should demand that integrative medicine be among their healthcare choices, and knowing that other countries are using these therapies should encourage Americans to inquire about them.”
