Dallas Wellness Center Uses Ozone Therapy To Treat COVID-19; Government Lawyers File Lawsuit

The U.S. Attorney Office has filed a lawsuit against Purity Health and Wellness Center in Dallas that has been claiming that ozone therapy can help treat COVID-19.

The feds are trying to get the clinic shut to prevent the owner Jean Juanita Alle from claiming that “ozone eradicates lethal viruses and bacteria.” This is the second instance in Dallas wherein an enforcement action related to coronavirus has been implemented.

The enforcement action has come following the instructions by Attorney General William Barr to identify, investigation and prosecute any activity which is unlawful and directly related to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Exposing humans to ozone, which is generally a toxic gas and respiratory irritant, is not known to prevent or treat COVID-19,” U.S. Attorney Kenneth G. Coffin remarked in the lawsuit filed against the clinic and its owner.

The lawsuit is a result of the investigations made by the Attorney Office after it found several posts on the clinic’s Instagram account. The posts claimed Ozone to the solution and the only possible prevention against coronavirus.

Moreover, the owner of the clinic has claimed to its customers that ozone therapy can help treat as well as prevent coronavirus, which is completely false and a fraudulent claim because no scientific study proves that.

Not only coronavirus, the website for the clinic also claims that ozone therapy can help treat herniated discs and also improve nervous, lymphatic and immune systems.

Ever since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S., several people with a miracle cure and treatments against the pandemic have emerged to make the best out of the situation.

The federal authorities have been finding it challenging to deal with such claims that mostly involve the use of unconventional therapies, homeopathic drugs and unproven remedies.

Last week, the Government lawyers sued a chiropractor from Richardson, Dr. Ray Nannis. At Optimum Wellness Solutions, he was selling a fraudulent homeopathic product that claimed to treat COVID-19 and charging $95 for a single dose of preventive treatment.
