The researchers found that higher oxygen levels getting to the back discs actually hurts them, and it appears the back discs encourage more oxygen to come in. Concurrent with this is elevated amounts of oxidized LDL, which might be helping to further change the genes there to get more oxygen, where it's not supposed to be.

What happens is a downward spiral to full degeneration of that damaged disc.

Additionally, our immune system often cannot properly identify oxidized LDL. Sadly, it often sees it as an invader, and the goes after the places that have it—including arteries (atherosclerosis) and back discs (destroying them).

Thank you for your response but I had been looking at these articles where Ozone therapy appears to be a successful treatment of some disc diseases ?
