OZONE IN
NATURE
In nature, there is a cycle of
oxygen just like there is a cycle of water. Oxygen
is released from plants on land and plankton in the
sea during photosynthesis. The oxygen is lighter
than air and floats upward in the atmosphere. At the
20-30 km region, strong ultraviolet radiation in the
185-200 nanometer wavelength bombards the oxygen and
turns some of it into ozone. The ozone created
exists as a thin layer in the atmosphere and it
blocks out the small portion of the UV spectrum that
it absorbs. The great majority of the UV reaches the
earth allowing suntanning, which Dr. Michael
Carpendale of the San Francisco Veteran's
Administration Hospital has noted is useful in a
very efficacious therapy developed in the early
years of this century. We hear a great deal about
the thinning of the ozone layer in the media, but
the facts are otherwise. Ozone production in the
upper atmosphere is dependent on the amount of
energy coming from the sun. During peaks of solar
activity, ozone is created at a greater rate. During
lulls in the sunspot cycle, the ozone layer is
thinner. The lowest level ever measured was in 1962.
At night, on the dark side of the planet, the ozone
layer disappears, in a few hours. The layer is
reformed as the sun rises in the morning. There is
no ozone over the poles in the winter because there
is no sunlight. Chlorofluorocarbons are the heaviest
and most inert compound gases possible and are
totally harmless -- ask any refrigerant expert.
Ozone is produced constantly in the upper atmosphere
as long as the sun is shining, and since ozone is
heavier than air, it begins to fall earthward. As it
falls, it combines with any pollutant it contacts,
cleaning the air -- nature's wonderful self-cleaning
system. If ozone contacts water vapor as it falls,
it forms hydrogen peroxide, a component of
rainwater, and the reason why rainwater causes
plants to grow better than irrigation. Ozone is also
created by lightning, and the amount produced in an
average storm is often triple the allowable limit of
.015 PPM as set by the US EPA. This ozone is what
gives the air the wonderful fresh smell after a
rain, and is of the highest benefit to anyone
fortunate enough to be breathing it. Ozone is also
created by waterfalls and crashing surf, which
accounts for the energetic feeling and calm
experienced near these sites. Another way ozone is
produced is by photons from the sun breaking apart
nitrous oxide, a pollutant formed by the combustion
of hydrocarbons in the internal combustion engine.
This ozone can accumulate in smog due to temperature
inversions and is a lung and eye irritant.
These are the forms of ozone created by natural
processes in the atmosphere.
MEDICAL OZONE
The first ozone generators were developed by Werner
von Siemens in Germany in 1857, and 1870 saw the
first report on ozone being used therapeutically to
purify blood, by C. Lender in Germany.
There is evidence of the use of ozone as a
disinfectant from 1881, mentioned by Dr. Kellogg in
his book on diphtheria. In October of 1893, the
world's first water treatment plant using ozone was
installed in Ousbaden, Holland, and today there are
over 3000 municipalities around the world that use
ozone to clean their water and sewage. In 1885, the
Florida Medical Association published "Ozone" by Dr.
Charles J. Kenworth, MD, detailing the use of ozone
for therapeutic purposes. In September 1896, the
electrical genius Nikola Tesla patented his first
ozone generator, and in 1900, he formed the Tesla
Ozone Company. Tesla sold ozone machines to doctors
for medical use, the same thing we are doing 100
years later, with a design based on one of his from
the 1920s. We have seen one of these 75 year old
generators, and it still works perfectly. Tesla
produced ozonated olive oil and sold it to
naturopaths, and we do, too. In 1898, the Institute
for Oxygen Therapy was started in Berlin by
Thauerkauf and Luth. They injected ozone into
animals and bonded ozone to magnesium, producing
Homozon. Beginning in 1898, Dr. Benedict Lust, a
German doctor practicing in New York, who was the
originator and founder Naturopathy, wrote many
articles and books on ozone. In 1902, J.H.Clarke's
"A Dictionary of Practical Materia Medica," London
describes the successful use of ozonated water in
treating anemia, cancer, diabetes, influenza,
morphine poisoning, canker sores, strychnine
poisoning and whooping cough. In 1911, "A Working
Manual of High Frequency Currents" was published by
Dr. Noble Eberhart, MD. Dr. Eberhart was head of the
Department of Physiologic Therapeutics at Loyola
University. He used ozone to treat tuberculosis,
anemia, chlorosis, tinnitus, whooping cough, asthma,
bronchitis, hay fever, insomnia, pneumonia,
diabetes, gout and syphilis.
In 1913, the Eastern Association for Oxygen Therapy
was formed by Dr. Blass and some German associates.
During World War 1, ozone was used to treat wounds,
trench foot, gangrene and the effects of poison gas.
Dr. Albert Wolff of Berlin also used ozone for colon
cancer, cervical cancer and decubitis ulcers in
1915.
In 1920, Dr. Charles Neiswanger, MD, the President
of the Chicago Hospital College of Medicine
published "Electro Therapeutical Practice." Chapter
32 was entitled " Ozone as a Therapeutic Agent."
In 1926, Dr. Otto Warburg of the Kaiser Institute in
Berlin announced that the cause of cancer is lack of
oxygen at the cellular level. He received the Nobel
Prize for Medicine in 1931 and again in 1944, the
only person to ever receive two Nobel Prizes for
Medicine. He was also nominated for a third.
In 1929, a book called "Ozone and Its Therapeutic
Action" was published in the US listing 114 diseases
and how to treat them with ozone. Its authors were
the heads of all the leading American hospitals.
In 1933, the American Medical Association, headed up
by Dr. Simmons set out to destroy all medical
treatments that were competitive to drug therapy.
The suppression of ozone therapy began then, and it
continues in the US to this day.
The Swiss dentist E.A. Fisch was using ozone in
dentistry before 1932, and introduced it to the
German surgeon Erwin Payr who used it from that time
forward.
Aubourg and Lacoste were French physicians using
ozone insufflation from 1934-1938.
In 1948, Dr. William Turska of Oregon began using
ozone, employing a machine of his own design, and in
1951, Dr. Turska wrote the article "Oxidation" which
is still relevant today, and is included in our
booklet. Dr. Turska pioneered injection of ozone
into the portal vein, thereby reaching the liver.
From 1953 onward, German doctor Hans Wolff used
ozone in his practice, writing the book "Medical
Ozone," and training many doctors in ozone therapy.
In 1957, Dr. J. Hansler patented an ozone generator
which has formed the basis of the German expansion
of ozone therapy over the last 35 years. Today over
7000 German doctors use ozone therapy daily. In
1961, Hans Wolff introduced the techniques of major
and minor autohemotherapy. In 1977, Dr. Renate
Viebahn provided a technical overview of ozone
action in the body. In 1979, Dr. George Freibott
began treating his first AIDS patient with ozone,
and in 1980, Dr. Horst Kief also reported success
treating AIDS with ozone. In 1987, Dr. Rilling and
Dr. Viebahn published "The Use of Ozone in
Medicine," the standard text on the subject. In
1990, the Cubans reported on their success in
treating glaucoma, conjunctivitis and retinitis
pigmentosa with ozone.
In 1992, the Russians revealed their techniques of
using ozone bubbled into brine to treat burn victims
with astounding results.
Today, after 125 years of usage, ozone therapy is a
recognized modality in many nations: Germany,
France, Italy, Russia, Romania, Czech Republic,
Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Israel, Cuba, Japan,
Mexico, and in five US states.
TYPES OF OZONE GENERATORS
Oxygen is the only gas that will pick up and hold
electrical energy. In doing so, it becomes
tremendously active and seeks to combine with all
other substances. The list of substances that are
inert to ozone is very short, and includes glass,
Teflon, Kynar, silicone and gold. Therefore, any
ozone generator and auxilliary equipment must be
composed of these substances only. There are several
different techniques used to produce medical grade
ozone, where freedom from contamination is critical.
One type of generator uses an ultraviolet lamp as
its source. It produces a very small amount of ozone
in a narrow frequency bandwidth of ultraviolet
light. Outside of that bandwidth, UV destroys ozone.
A UV lamp is unreliable because it is subject to
degradation over time, causing uncertainty regarding
concentration, and eventually it burns out.
The second method of ozone production is corona
discharge, where a tube with a hot cathode is
surrounded by a screen anode. The best ones are
called dual-dielectric, because they have a layer of
glass separating each component from the gas stream.
This prevents contamination of the ozone in the best
designs, but heat is produced, and heat destroys
ozone. To compensate for the loss in concentration,
more electricity is used, resulting in more heat,
and consequent electrical failure. This produces
generators that have short lives.
Lack of durability has always beset the ozone
generator industry, and was one of the major reasons
for naturopaths mostly abandoning ozone therapy
during the Thirties. I have spoken to doctors who
have used ozone for three decades and have gone
through a half dozen generators in that time, due to
the lack of a durable generator, and reliable
servicing.
Fortunately, there is a third method of producing
clean, medical grade ozone. That method is called
cold plasma. It uses two glass rods filled with a
noble gas, electrostatic plasm field which turns the
oxygen into ozone. Since there is no appreciable
current, no heat is produced. Thus the generator
will last a very long time, limited only by the
quality of the power supply. The original cold
plasma ozone generators were invented by Nikola
Tesla in the 1920s, and they still work 75 years
later.
OZONE CONCENTRATION
Medical ozone is produced in varying concentrations.
The quantity of ozone in comparison with the
quantity of oxygen in the gas stream is called
percent concentration. It is measured in micrograms
(ug) of ozone per millilitre (or cc) of the mixture.
A litre of oxygen weighs 1.4 grams.
Therefore: 0.5% x 1.4 gm = 7 ug/cc 1.0% x 1.4 gm =
14ug/cc 1.5% x 1.4 gm = 21ug/cc 2.0% x 1.4 gm =
28ug/cc 2.5% x 1.4 gm = 35ug/cc 3.0% x 1.4 gm =
42ug/cc 3.5% x 1.4 gm = 49ug/cc 4.0% x 1.4 gm =
56ug/cc 4.5% x 1.4 gm = 63ug/cc 5.0% x 1.4 gm =
70ug/cc
5% or 70 ug/cc is considered to be the upper limit
of concentration for internal use of medical ozone.
Dr. Greenberg of the Kief Clinic has shown, in
vitro, that at concentrations of 90 ug/cc there was
crimping of red blood cells which was definitely
harmful. Experiments by F. Sweet et al have shown
inhibition of growth in healthy cells at
concentrations above 72 ug/cc. If we stay below that
level, we well have no problems.
Ozone Therapy is Safest Known Therapy
Ozone has been found to be an extremely safe medical
therapy, free from side effects. In a 1980 study
done by the German Medical Society for Ozone
Therapy, 644 therapists were polled regarding their
384,775 patients, comprising a total of 5,579,238
ozone treatments administered. There were only 40
cases of side effects noted out of this number which
represents the incredibly low rate of .000007%, and
only four fatalities. Ozone has thus proven to be
the safest medical therapy ever devised.
DOSAGE AND FREQUENCY
When it comes to dosage and frequency of
administration, there is some difference of opinion.
Dr. Carpendale believes that a high concentration is
necessary to kick-start the immune system initially,
followed by much lower concentrations. He believes
that continued high concentrations may be
immunosuppressive, based on T-4 cell counts. Other
doctors, such as Dr. Turska, recommend initial
medium concentration doses, three times per week,
followed by twice weekly at lower concentration,
followed by weekly injection as long as necessary.
Dr. Stan Beyrle recommends injection every four days
at medium concentration. Dr. Wang has been giving
daily injections at medium concentration, and direct
injection into breast tumors. Dr. Freibott
recommends very high concentrations at low dosages,
with the emphasis on observing the patient's blood
saturation. Dr. Rillings classic, "The Use of Ozone
in Medicine," recently reprinted, gives many
recommendations on dosage and concentration. There
is no evidence that long term treatment on a daily
basis has any detrimental effect. Doctors who have
used it for decades have only positive results to
report. Ozone is blatantly non-toxic. There is no
evidence of free radical damage; in fact, ozone is
the best free radical scavenger there is. Ozone also
stimulates production of superoxide dismutase,
catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, which are the
enzymes in the cell wall which protect the cell from
free radical damage, so ozone actually helps prevent
free radical damage. Dr. Horst Kief of Germany
recommends taking Vitamin A and Vitamin E
supplements when receiving ozone treatments. It is
know that Vitamin C is antagonistic to ozone, and
persons taking megadoses of Vitamin C should
maintain a 12 hour spread between ingestion and the
ozone treatment, although ozone does not break down
Vitamin C in the body. This effect of Vitamin C can
be used to advantage in intravenous administration.
Sometimes a patient will have a lot of coughing
caused by ozone outgassing in the lungs from having
had a bit too much too fast from the IV. If the
coughing continues ling that 30 minutes, it can be
stopped by administering 5000 mg of Vitamin C
orally. The ozone reaction will end quickly and the
patient will be more comfortable and have a better
attitude toward the therapy. The rate of injection
should be very slow, about 10 cc per minute. Since
intravenous injections are 95-98 % oxygen and 2-5 %
ozone gas, some doctors have expressed concern about
embolism. However, there is no danger of embolism
from injections of oxygen and ozone. Only nitrogen
forms a dangerous gas bubble, as when divers get the
bends from surfacing too fast. The human body runs
perfectly well on 100% oxygen; consider the fighter
pilots who breathe 100% oxygen daily for years --
they have the highest reflexes, visual acuity and
level of general health of any group of humans.
OZONE AND MAGNETS
Doctors have reported that they can enhance ozone
therapy by using magnet therapy simultaneously.
Permanent magnets can be used with the north pole
facing upward, toward the patient, on the underside
of the treatment table. Magnets cause a polarization
of red blood cells, which have iron in them. The
polarization causes red blood cells to unclump and
become more flexible, so that they can bend and get
through the finest capillaries, improving
microcirculation and preventing literally hundreds
of diseases. Therefore, there is a synergistic
effect between ozone and magnets.
OZONE FOR PREVENTION
Ozone is a powerful therapeutic tool for curing
disease, but it is equally important for PREVENTION
of disease. The hundreds of different diseases named
by allopathy are but symptoms of one underlying
cause. That cause, as proven by two-time Nobel Prize
winner Dr. Otto Warburg, is hypoxia, or oxygen
starvation at teh cellular level. This is the cause
of degenerative disease (arthritis, atherosclerosis,
multiple sclerosis, rheumatism, cancer, etc.). Ozone
both treats and prevents most communicable disease
as well (mumps, measles, influenza, cholera,
tropical fevers, etc.) Regular use of ozone in the
home can provide high levels of immunity from most
common diseases, and relagate immunization to the
dustbin of history. Our present allopathic health
system is disintegrating under financial stress, and
it can easily ge replaced by prevention through use
of ozone, supplemented by ozone injection for
serious cases, and emergency room hospitals for
accident victims. This system will be far less
expensive than our present system, where 95% of our
health dollar is spent in the last year of life,
trying to undo a lifetime of toxic buildup.
OZONE AND WATER IN THE BODY
The human body is 2/3 water. Of that, 90% is lymph
and 10% is blood. The cell functions by burning
sugar in oxygen to provide energy. The waste
products are carbon dioxide and water. If there is
insufficient oxygen at the cellular level, the burn
will be incomplete, and carbon monoxide and lactic
acid will be formed. The body cannot easily rid
itself of monoxide; it prevents hemglobin from
picking up fresh oxygen, and the body temperature is
lowered. The lactic acid will build up in the
system, clogging the nerve pathways, eventually
calcifying and causing degeneration. More oxygen is
required to come in and oxidize these toxins, but if
it is not available, they build up. The blood will
carry a heavy load of sludge, and toxins will be
deposited in the fat. The water that composes the
body gets dirtier and dirtier. Disease is the
result. This is where ozone shines -- in eliminating
toxicity from the body. Ozone taken on a daily basis
will, over time, clean all the fluid of the body,
safely. Ozone has been used to clean water for large
cities for over 100 years. The water engineers have
a value that they use to measure the effectiveness
of ozone in cleaning water. This is the CT value. It
is a product of concentraton x time. (CxT)
Data Has Been Overlooked by Doctors
This information has been overlooked by the medical
fraternity. The time that ozone is in contact with
human tissue is of great importance. Ozone therapy
has only considered concentration and total volume
of ozone, and has ignored the time factor. Also
overlooked is the body weight of the patient, which
must be given due consideration. When doing rectal
insufflation, if the concentration is 30 ug/cc, and
the length of time of exposure is 2 minutes, the CT
value will be 30 x 2 = 60. If however, the exposure
time is 5 minutes, the CT will be 30 x 5 = 150. A
higher CT value is a more desirable figure, because
more oxidation work can be done. In order to be able
to lengthen the time of exposure, it is necessary to
have a very low flow rate. The ozone industry has
generally rated its equipment with a flow rate of
1/2 litre/minute. However, by using a regulator
producing a flow rate of 1/32 of a litre per minute,
it is possible to get exposure times of 30 minutes.
Since ozone concentration is inversely proportional
to flow rate, the lowest flow produces the highest
concentration. For example, at 1/32 litre/minute,
our Model 2040 generator produces 50 ug/cc. Rectal
insufflation for 30 minutes will produce a CT value
of 50 x 30 = 1500. It is clear that there is an
advantage to low flow rate insufflation, and the low
flow rate prevents the problems of cramping or colon
distension. There is also the addedbenefit of very
low oxygen usage. Remember that oxygen by itself
does not produce the therapeutic effects of ozone.
The patient often needs to have a series of colonics
before beginning insufflation, and an enema before
each insufflation, The patient taking rectal
insufflation needs to take quality acidophilous.
OZONATED WATER
For prevention, a major benefit can be derived from
regularly drinking ozonated water. Water is a
fascinating substance, and we all take it for
granted. Chemically it is considered to be on oxygen
atom bound with two hydrogen atoms. The bond angle
beween the two hydrogen atoms is known to be
variable, depending on the amount of energy in the
molecule. Research has shown that water whose bond
angle is 101 degees is 'dead' water, bereft of
life-giving energy. When water is distilled the bond
angle expands to 120 degrees upon evaporation, but
collapses to 101 degrees upon condensation, and is
therefore dead. A bond angle of 103 degrees
corresponds to average water. A bond angle of 106
degrees produces activated, energized water, and is
attainable by placing a magnet, north pole inward,
against the water container. The highest energy
obtainable in liquid water is a bond angle of109.5
degees, and this is attainable only ozonating water
at 4 degrees C. Ozone will not stay in water for
very long, even at 4 degees C. To hold the ozone in
the water over long periods, it is necessary to add
a few drops of Concentrace, which is a solution of
trace minerals from the Great Salt Lake with the
sodium, cadmium, copper and lead removed. The ozone
hangs on to the minerals without oxidizing them and
remains available over many months. In general,
unmineralized water should not be consumed.
Drink water that has gone through reverse osmosis,
carbon filtering, and is then ozonated. There are
some contaminants that will pass through R/O and
carbon, such as fluorine. Ozonating the water
removes all such contaminants and energizes the
water until the bond angle reaches 109.5 degrees.
Ozonate water for 15 minutes per litre, about five
minutes per glass.
OZONATING THE LYMPH
Women have an advantage, in that vaginal
insufflation requires no preparation, and can be
administered for very long periods of time, hours i
fact. The gas will usually fing its way into the
uterus, out the Fallopian tubes, and then into the
abdominal cavity. Liver problems and pelvic
inflammatory disease (PID) can be addressed in this
way. This is also a good way of getting ozone into
the lymph system. For men, cleaning the lymph system
is not as easy, and requires use of a body suit or a
steam cabinet. The body suit is a less that popular
aesthetic experience. The Saunette steam cabinet,
however, is a pleasurable experience. Because of the
moist heat, the pores are open, and the capillaries
are dilated. The ozone enters and oxidizes toxins in
the fat, the lymph and the blood. The skin is the
largest organ of elimination. The person sweats the
oxidized toxins back out, avoiding the dump of
toxins to the liver and colon which can bring on the
symptoms of toxic shock overload. Instead, the
person emerges from the steam cabinet feeling
extremely relaxed and mellow, and ready for bed.
This is an ideal way of counteracting the stress of
the day.
BREATHING OZONE
Ozone is safe to breathe when it is bubbled through
extra virgin olive oil. This is an excellent therapy
for asthma and bronchitis and pneumonia, especially
when combined with magnetic therapy. Breathing of
ozone has been practiced in North America for over
90 years. When ozone is bubbled through olive oil
continuously for weeks, the oil starts to change.
First it loses its color, then it begins to foam,
and eventually it becomes a gel, although the oil is
not oxidized. If it is kept refrigerated at 40
degrees F, this gel will hold on to its ozone for
more than ten years. This gel applied to the skin
has many uses: on cuts, scrapes and burns; insect
bites, diaper rash, eczema, impetigo, herpes, etc.
When massaged vigorously into the body by a trained
therapist over time it has enabled multiple
sclerosis patients to regain the use of their limbs.
Ozonated gel is 95% as active as ozone gas. The
ozonated gel liquefies as soon as it reaches skin
temperature. It is an excellent lubricant for
intercourse and provides more protection the the
highly-touted condom for the prevention of disease,
due to the bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal
action of ozone. It is an excellent product for your
pet as well.
WHAT DOES OZONE DO?
Ozone: inactivates viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungus
and protozoa. stimulates the immune system cleans
arteries and veins, improves circulation' purifies
the blood and lymph normalizes hormone and enzyme
production reduces inflammation reduces pain, calms
the nerves stops bleeding prevents shock prevents
stroke damage reduces cardiac arrhythmia improves
brain function and memory oxidizes toxins, allowing
their excretion chelates heavy metals; it works well
in conjunction with EDTA prevents and reverses
degenerative diseases prevents and treats
communicabel diseases prevents and eliminates
auto-immune diseases
HOW DOES OZONE WORK?
1. Inactivation of bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast
and protozoa:
Ozone disrupts the integrity of the bacterial cell
envelope through oxidation of the phospholipids and
lipoproteins. In fungi, ozone inhibits cell growth
at certain stages. With viruses, the ozone damages
the viral capsid and disrupts the reproductive cycle
by disrupting the virus-to-cell contact with
peroxidation. The weak enzyme coatings on cells
which make them vulnerable to invasion by viruses
make them susceptible to oxidation and elimination
from the body, which then replaces them with healthy
cells.
2. Enhancement of circulation:
In circulatory disease, a clumping of red blood
cells hinders blood flow through the small
capillaries and decreases oxygen absorption due to
reduced surface area. Ozone reduces or eliminates
clumping and red cell flexibility is restored, along
with oxygen carrying ability. Oxygenation of the
tissues increases as the arterial partial pressure
increases and viscosity decreases. Ozone also
oxidizes the plaque in arteries, allowing the
removal of the breakdown products, unclogging the
blood vessels.
3. Stimulation of oxygen metabolism:
Ozone causes an increase in the red blood cell
glycolysis rate. This leads to the stimulation of
2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) which leads to an
increase in the amount of oxygen released to the
tissues. There is a stimulation of the production of
the enzymes which act as free radical scavengers and
cell wall protectors: glutathione peroxidase,
catalase, and superoxide dismutase. Ozone activates
the Krebs cycle by enhancing oxidative carboxylation
of pyruvate, stimulating production of ATP. Ozone
also causes a significant reduction in NADH and
helps to oxidize cyochrome C. Prostacyline, a
vasodilator, is also induced by ozone.
4. Formation of peroxides:
Ozone reacts with the unsaturated fatty acids of the
lipid layer in cellular membranes, forming hydro
peroxides. There is a synergistic effect with
cellular- formed H2O2. Lipid peroxidation products
include alkoxyl and peroxyl radicals, singlet
oxygen, ozonides, carbonides, carbonyls, alkanes and
alkenes.
5. Dissolution of malignant tumors:
Ozone inhibits tumor metabolism. In addition, ozone
oxidizes the outer lipid layer of malignant cells
and destroys them through cell lysis (break-down).
Phagocytes produce H2O2 and hydroxyl to kill
bacteria and viruses. The generation of hydroxyl by
killer cells is critical to their cytotoxic
capability. Ozone stimulates conversion of L-
arginine to citrulline, nitrite and nitrate by
phagocytes, acting on tumors.
COLLATERAL THERAPIES
Ozone is not a drug and it is not a magic bullet. It
is a therapeutic tool of great power which can aid
the body in regaining health. However, in the end,
it is the immune system that has to do the work of
healing the body. Therefore, the immune system must
be functioning.
The immune system is controlled by the midbrain, the
limbic system, through the thymus. The limbic system
also controls the emotions. If the emotions are
disrupted, the immune system is suppressed or shut
down.
Recent research by Dr. Glen Rein of the Heartmath
Institute has shown that the thymus, the general of
the army of the immune system, is regulated by
sympathetic resonance with the heartbeat. By
measuring the regularity of the hearbeat with an
electrocardiogram, Dr. Rein was able to show that
irregular heartbeat, as caused by emotional upset,
produced erratic thymus function, which suppressed
the immune system. Dr. Rein also found that it was
possible to train people to control their heartbeat
and raise their level of immune function. Since
ozone has a well-known calming and analgesic effect,
perhaps ozone therapy causing restoration of
heartbeat regularity has a role to play in enhancing
the immune system, along with interleukin-2
stimulation. Ozone is already used as a treatment
for heart arhythmia. Therefore, prolonged use of
ozone would enhance the immune system by
contributing to a calm, even heartbeat, produced by
a well-oxygenated heart pumping clean bright red
blood through plaque-free arteries. A holistic
approach should include work on the psyche,
exercise, and nutrition, as well as ozone. By using
ozone in the Sonnet steam cabinet, the patient can
be easily placed in a calm and relaxed state of
mind, which facilitates the unearthing of
deep-seated emotional problems by a skilled
therapist. The resolution of such problems often has
a greater importance in the reattainment of health
than all other therapies. In addition, oxidized
toxins are sweated out through the skin, rather than
dumped to the liver, which is important in
preventing toxic shock in patients whose liver
function is poor. Exercise is also an important
adjunct to ozone therapy, and is not to be
overlooked. The lymph system contains 90% of the
water in the body and must be cleaned. Since the
lymph system has no pump like the heart, the lymph
tends to become toxified and sluggish. The use of a
rebounder followed by the steam cabinet will go a
long way towards cleaning the lymph. Nutritional
supplementation needs to include organic sulphur,
which is critical for the production of many
essential amino acids, such as glutathione for
respiration and methionine for liver function.
Organic sulphur is essential for the maintenance of
youthful, flexible cells. Since it is difficult to
obtain in our diets, the best sources are bluegreen
algae, wheatgrass juice and aloe vera. Research over
20 years has shown that aging is also related to
declining production of the hormone DHEA. If the
hormone is taken directly, the body halts
production, resulting in a dependency. However, if
the precursor, which is extracted from the wild yam
plant, is ingested, the body increases its
production of DHEA without developing a dependency.
This precursor has now become available as Emprise
Plus and as Diosin.
The combination of ozone, exercise, nutrition, aloe
vera and yam plant extract should ensure greater
vitality and fewer degenerative diseases in our
aging population as we approach the next century, at
an affordable cost.
THE CAUSE AND PREVENTION OF CANCER - Saul
Pressman
We now understand the chemical mechanisms of
respiration and fermentation at the cellular level.
And due to the work of Dr. Otto Warburg, since 1926
we have known that when a cell is deprived of
oxygen, down to about 40% of normal, its respiration
is irrevesibly damaged. This damage causes the cell
to begin to ferment sugar anerobically producing
carbon monoxide and lactic acid, and only 1/6 of the
energy of normal cellular aerobic oxidation. The
cell loses its governor on growth and begins to grow
wildly - - what we call cancer.
This oxygen deficiency, or hypoxia, can be caused by
many factors. Some poison may reach the cell and
prevent oxygen uptake, or the excretory duct of a
gland may become plugged up, as in breast cancer
being cause by lymph gland plugging. But the end
result is the same. As soon as the oxygen level to
the cell is reduced, if the cell does not die,
cancer will result. Frequent small doses of
respiratory poisons are therefore more dangerous
than a single large dose, where there is the chance
that the cells will be killed rather than become
cancerous.
All carcinogens impair cellular respiration. The
word carcinogen is an empty word. The continual
search for more carcinogenic substances is an utter
waste of time and money, because this obscures the
true cause of cancer, which is the oxygen starvation
of the cell. It also prevents the treatment of
cancer, because of misunderstanding the cause.
To destroy cancer, what is required is the
introduction of massive amounts of oxygen at the
cellular level. This can be done by ingesting
magnesium peroxide or introducing ozone. These two
treatments have been in use for over 75 years, with
excellent success. They must be taken in sufficient
quantities to flood the cells with oxygen, killing
the cells which are now operating anaerobically.
We have recently seen people using ozone with rectal
insufflation who have had mixed results. This is due
to the bowel being compacted over the years with
fecal material trapped in the folds. In these cases,
the ozone is merely reacting with this old material,
some of which may have been held there for ten or
twenty years, and providing no benefit to the body.
This points out the necessity for undergoing a
thorough cleansing of the large intestine by a
qualified colon therapist before beginning rectal
insufflation. Also, it is necessary to take the
ozone in as many different ways as possible, in
order that the cells become flooded with oxygen. It
is not sufficient to take just a small amount to
kill an active cancer. For breast cancer, direct
injection into the tumor is possible. For liver
cancer, injection into the portal vein, as developed
by Dr. William Turska, is necessary. For other
cancers, injection in the arm is usually employed.
Another effect we have observed is that there is a
cycle of activity to the effectiveness of ozone. As
near as we can tell, the cycle is linked to the
phases of the moon. The moon governs the tides of
the earth and the emotions of mankind. Since the
emotions are directly linked to the immune system,
the healing process would seem to be influenced by
our faithful heavenly partner. Ozone also has the
ability to prevent cancer. If sufficient oxygen is
provided to the cells so that they never drop below
40%, they will stay healthy, barring any chemical or
radiation poisoning. It is as simple, and as
difficult, as that. Many people today are using
ozone generators to keep their cellular oxygen
levels high, to prevent disease. Ozone may be taken
into the body in many ways. You can drink ozonated
water, introduce it into the ear, or you can step
into a body suit after a hot shower and allow ozone
to come in through the skin. Ozone can be taken with
rectal or vaginal insufflation. People often ask
whether they will have to continue to take ozone for
the rest of their life. We say that if you want to
eliminate toxins from your body every day and
prevent your cells from being deprived of oxygen and
thus turning anaerobic, then taking ozone daily is a
small price to pay. As previously said, when a cell
is not receiving enough oxygen, it begins to ferment
sugar and produce lactic acid. This lactic acid
accumulates in the tissues and causes many problems.
To remove it, it is necessary to do deep muscle
massage, with ozonated olive oil, perhaps followed
by ozone with a body suit or in th Saunette. This
will oxidize the lactic acid and allow it to be
eliminated from the body. We hear a great deal about
cholesterol and clogging of the arteries, and there
are any number of diets aimed at reducing the intake
of dietary cholesterol. However, cholesterol is
produced by the body as a natural lubricant, and new
research shows that dietary cholesterol intake is
not directly related to cholesterol levels. The
problem is apparently caused by chlorine reacting
with the cholesterol and causing it to coagulate on
the walls of the arteries, forming plaque. The
sources of chlorine are many, but the major ones are
the drinking water supply and the salt in food. We
have been told to lower our intake of sodium, but
chlorine seems to be a worse culprit, especially in
atherosclerosis, heart disease and high blood
pressure. When ozone is ingested over time, it
scours out the arteries by oxidizing the plaque,
cleaning the system so blood can flow properly.
Ozone also reduces the clumping of red blood cells,
enabling them to pick up oxygen in the lungs, and
increasing their flexibility, which is crucial to
microcirculation through the fine capillaries.
SUPEROXYGENATION FOR HEALTH
Oxygen is the most vital element required for human
life and it is the key to good health. We can
survive without water for a week and go without food
for a month, but we can only live a few minutes
without oxygen. Oxygen is the life-giving,
life-sustaining element. All body activities require
oxygen. Through oxidation, the body generates heat
and energy from its fuel, and disposes of wastes and
microbes. Our bodies are two-thirds water. Of that
water, ten per cent is blood and ninety per cent is
lymph. Since the water in our bodies is itself 8/9
oxygen by weight, we are therefore composed of over
50% oxygen. The best way to optimize health is to
oxygenate every cell in our body. The more oxygen we
have in our system, the more energy we produce, and
the more efficiently we can eliminate wastes. Good
health is dependent on the production, maintenance
and flow of energy, which is produced by the
oxidation of sugar. Oxidation is central to
metabolism, circulation, respiration, digestion,
assimilation and elimination. Oxygen purifies the
blood, keeping it free of cellular waste buildup.
Sufficient oxygen allows the body to rebuild itself
and maintain the immune system. Healthy cells
require sugar, amino acids, minerals, hormones,
enzymes and oxygen.
The Cause of Cancer
The link between insufficient oxygen and disease has
been firmly established. Insufficient oxygen can
result in anything from mild fatigue to
life-threatening disease. Dr. Otto Warburg was
awarded the Nobel Prize in 1931 and again in 1944
for discovering the cause of cancer. He said,
"Cancer has only one prime cause. The prime cause of
cancer is the replacement of normal oxygen
respiration of body cells by an anerobic
(oxygen-less) cell respiration." Once the level of
oxygen available to a cell drops below 60% of
normal, the cell is forced to switch to an inferior
method of energy production -- fermentation. The
cell can never be returned to the proper oxidation
system, and loses its governor on replication. It
begins to reproduce copies of itself wildly, a
condition we call cancer. Dr. Warburg pointed out
that any substance that deprived a cell of oxygen
was a carcinogen, if the cell was not killed
outright. He stated in 1966 that it was useless to
search out new carcinogens, because the result of
each one was the same, cellular deprivation of
oxygen. He further stated that the incessant search
for new carcinogens was counter-productive because
it obscured the prime cause, lack of oxygen, and
prevented appropriate treatment.
Confirmation of Dr. Warburg's Work
The National Cancer Institute endorsed Dr. Warburg's
findings in 1952. This research was continued by Dr.
Harry Goldbatt, who published his findings in the
Journal of Experimental Medicine in 1953. His
research confirmed that lack of oxygen plays the
major role in causing cells to become cancerous. Dr.
Albert Wahl said, "Disease is due to a deficiency in
the oxidation process of the body, leading to an
accumulation of toxins. These toxins are ordinarily
burned in normal oxidation." Dr. Wendell Hendricks
of the Hendricks Research Foundation wrote: " Cancer
is a condition within the body where the oxidation
has become so depleted that the body cells have
degenerated beyond control. The body is so
overloaded with toxins that it sets up a tumor mass
to harbor these poisons and remove them from general
activity within the body." Dr. Hendricks further
states, "The true cause of allergy is a lowered
oxidation process within the body, causing the body
to be sensitive to substances entering. Only when
the oxidative mechanism is restored to a higher
state of efficiency can the sensitivity be
eliminated." Dr. Strphen Levine stated, "Hypoxia, or
the lack of oxygen in the tissues, is the
fundamental cause of all degenerative diseases."
Dr. Norman McVea said, "When the body has sufficient
oxygen, it is able to properly eliminate toxic
wastes from the system. Natural immunity is enhanced
when the system is not burdened with a heavy buildup
of toxins."
In the August 22, 1980 edition of the scientific
journal "SCIENCE," Vol. 209, there was a report
written by DR. Michael Carpendale entitled: "Ozone
Selectivity Inhibits Growth of Human Cancer Cells."
It stated, in part, " The growth of human cancer
cells from lung, breast and uterine cancers was
selectively inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by
ozone at 0.3 to .8 parts per million of ozone in
ambient air during eight days of culture. Human lung
diploid fibro-blasts served as non-cancerous control
cells. The presence of ozone at 0.3 to 0.5 parts per
million inhibited cancer cell growth at 40 and 60%
respectively. The non-cancerous lung cells were
unaffected at these levels. Exposure to ozone at 0.8
parts per million inhibited cancer cell growth more
than 90% and control cell growth less than 50%.
Evidently the mechanisms for defense against ozone
damage are impaired in human cancer cells."
The evidence from these doctors' research is
conclusive. Oxygen plays the primary role in health
and well-being. It is important to note that fear,
worry and depression all interfere with free
breathing and thus reduce oxygen uptake.
Achieving Superoxygenation
How can we ensure that our bodies
are sufficiently oxygenated to eliminate toxins and
prevent or cure disease? Scientific studies have
proven repeatedly that medical ozone, properly
introduced into the body in repeated applications,
removes accumulated toxins and inactivates viruses,
bacteria, fungi, yeast, protozoa and carcinomas in
disease cells. All harmful bacteria and viruses are
anerobic and cannot thrive in an oxygen-rich
atmosphere.
What is Ozone?
Chemically, ozone is oxygen with
an extra molecule added. Electically, ozone is
oxygen with a higher energy level. It is unstable
and highly reactive.
There is a cycle of oxygen just as there is a cycle
of water. Oxygen is released in photosynthesis by
land plants and ocean phytoplankton (mostly
diatoms), and rises up in the atmosphere about 25-30
miles, where it is energized by a part of the
ultraviolet spectrum of energy from the sun,
producing ozone. Ozone is heavier than air and
begins to descend. It immediately atteches itself to
airborne particles if it contacts them, oxidizing
them, cleaning the air. If it encounters water
vapour, it can attach itself to it, forming hydrogen
peroxide. Rain and snow both contain hydrogen
peroxide naturally. That is why plants grow better
from rain water than from irrigation.
At ground level, ozone attaches
itself to all pollutants, oxidizing them and
cleaning the air. It has been incorrectly blamed for
smog. Ozone is present in smog only transiently at
around 25 parts per hundred million.
Carbon monoxide is present in smog at about 3000
parts per hundred million, and hydrocarbons at about
100 parts per hundred million. Smog is produced by
the photoelectric effect of the sun's rays acting on
carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide in the
atmosphere, which are the end products when
hydrocarbons are burned.
Ozone cannot be produced in the internal combustion
engine because the hydrocarbon fuel quenches the
spark gap. The ozone that exists in the atmosphere
is produced by nature and it is attracted to
pollutants because of opposite charge -- it attempts
to oxidize them and clean the air. The problem is
one of too little ozone to complete the job, not too
much.
Ozone is also created near the ground by lightning.
The fresh smell in the air after a thunderstorm is
ozone. The amount of ozone created in an average
thunderstorm is about three times the safe limit
according to US EPA regulations.
Hydrogen Peroxide Hydrogen peroxide, the partner to
ozone, is more properly called oxygen water, since
it is water with an extra oxygen molecule. It is
found in rain and snow; the water at Lourdes; in
fresh fruit and vegetables; and in clostrum, the
first milk that a mother produces, where it provides
a defense against infection until the baby's own
immune system develops and is able to produce its
own hydrogen peroxide. In the body's immune defense,
hydrogen peroxide is released by T-cells to destroy
invading bacteria, viruses and fungi. Blood
platelets release hydrogen peroxide on encountering
particulates in blood. Hydrogen peroxide is formed
in the body by microbodies called peroxisomes, which
combine water with oxygen, if sufficient oxygen is
available. The importance of a high level of
oxygenation is obvious. In the large intestine,
acidophilus lactobacillus produces hydrogen peroxide
which keeps the ever-present candida yeast from
multiplying out of control. When candida spreads out
of the intestine, it escapes the natural control
system and can gain a foothold in the organs of the
body, causing what is called chronic fatigue
syndrome and allergic hypersensitivity. Bathing in
hydrogen peroxide is the best way to get it into the
body, and is inexpensive. The recommended rate is 8
oz. of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in a tub of
unchlorinated water, soaking 30 minutes. Up to 3%
hydrogen peroxide can be made by bubbling ozone
through cold water for a period of time. The medical
uses of hydrogen peroxide were pioneered in this
century by Dr. Edward Carl Rosenow who did research
and treatment at the Mayo Clinic for 60 years, and
who wrote many papers on the medical uses of
hydrogen peroxide. Used together, ozone and hydrogen
peroxide offer the world a bright and healthy
furture in the coming century.
Diseased Cells What distinguishes diseased cells
from healthy ones? All cells derive their energy
from glucose, but healthy cells burn glucose in
oxygen by oxidation, while unhealthy cells ferment
glucose anaerobically, producing large amounts of
lactic acid. Fermentation produces only 1/6 the
energy of oxidation, so cancer cells are perpetually
starving for energy, and consequently have huge
appetites for sugar. This wasteful metabolism
becomes self-sustaining and dominant unless the
oxygen level is sharply increased. Healthy cells
which have sufficient oxygen and nutrients
manufacture an enzyme coating around them that
protects them for invasion. These enzymes are
catalase, reductase, superoxide dismutase and
glutathione peroxidase. So long as a cell maintains
this enzyme coating around itself, it is safe from
invasion by viruses, and ozone cannot harm it.
Oxygen-starved cells are unable to produce enough
enzymes to fortify their cell wall and are thus more
vulnerable to invasion by the always-present
viruses. Disease microbes have no enzyme coating.
When ozone is introduced into the area, it attacks
microbes without a coating and diseased cells with
deficient cell wall enzymes. It oxidizes them,
allowing them to be cleared from the body.
Free Radicals
Free radicals are atoms with
unpaired electrons, a natural occurance in
biochemical reactions. There could be no chemical
reactions and thus no life without free radicals.
The properties of free radicals vary widely. Some
are toxic to all living cells, others only to the
most vulnerable cells. Singlet oxygen is highly
reactive beneficial free radical that acts as a
scavenger of other harmful free radicals. The oxygen
combines with them to render them harmless, thereby
protecting cells from damage.
The so-called anti-oxidant enzymes are gaining in
popularity as nutritional supplements due to
vigorous promotion. They are not anti-oxidant at
all, but rather free radical scavangers and enzyme
enhancers. They have been shown to help protect
marginally healthy cells from general free radical
damage. Superoxide dismutase in particular has
helped reduce a variety of disorders; normally it is
among the body's most plentiful enzymes. In any
case, it does not address the cause of the problem:
oxygen starvation at the cellular level, which
causes the cells to be too weak to make the enzyme
coatings that protect them.
Finally, the psychological
consequences of convincing people that oxygen is
detrimental to health when it is the most important
requirement for life have not been addressed in any
way. The limbic system, or midbrain, controls both
the emotions and the immune system. We must never
engender fear with inaccurate statements regarding
health, as is so often done by the media with their
periodic waves of 'carcinogen panic.' As Dr. Warburg
stated clearly in 196, this approach is detrimental
to public health.
Repeated treatments with ozone
are required because viruses and bacteria seem to be
more susceptible at different stages of their growth
cycle. Ozone lasts in the body for only a very short
period of time, oxidizing toxins, before turning
back into oxygen, so it must be reintroduced
repeatedly over a period of weeks or months. Medical
ozone is completely safe and non-toxic to humans
when generated by proper non-contaminating equipment
and administered with proper protocols. It has been
shown to be completely safe even when a dosage many
times greater than the proposed human dosage is
administered.
OZONE AND FREE RADICALS - W. Forest
Free radicals are atoms or
molecules with unpaired electrons, an unavoidable
occurrence in bio-chemical reactions. There could be
no life without free radicals. However, some free
radicals are dangerous. The properties of free
radicals vary widely. Some are toxic to all living
cells, others only to the most vulnerablle cells.
Singlet oxygen 01 is a highly reactive free radical
that acts as a scavenger of other free radicals. The
oxygen reacts with them to render them harmless,
thereby protecting cells from damage. Healthy cells
have an enzyme coating around them that protects
them from the action of oxygen. These enzymes are
catalase, reductase, super-oxide dismutase and
glutathione peroxidase. Disease microbes have no
such coating and are therefore destroyed by oxygen.
By this elegant mechanism, ozone distinguishes
between friends and foes and attacks only invading
pathogens, and cells that have been damaged and
infected, thereby losing their coating. The
so-called anti-oxidant enzymes are gaining in
popularity as nutritional supplements. They have
been shown to help protect marginally healthy cells
from general free radical damage. Superoxide
dismutase in particular has helped reduce a variety
of disorders; normally it is among the body's most
plentiful enzymes. However, prolonged use of
supplements could tend to atrophy the internal
biochemical processes that would normally be making
those enzymes. In any case, it does not address the
cause of the problem, which is oxygen starvation at
the cellular level, which causes the cells to be too
weak to make the enzymes that protect them.
FREE RADICALS, OZONE AND ANTIOXIDANTS - Dr. Horst
Kief
First of all to the problem of
oxygen radicals and antioxidants. As with everything
on our planet, both oxygen and antioxidants have two
sides the positive and the negative. On one side,
free radicals will age us quicker, on the other
side, without them we have no immune system. It is
not well known that oxygen is bound to our
hemoglobin as a superoxide anion, so the oxygen in
our breathing process is already there as a radical.
Its the same with antioxidants. Antioxidants are
often prescribed to be taken along with the use of
ozone. These are not simply opposites that cancel
each other out, but rather, a thoughtful
optimization, since most antioxidants have very
specific tasks. Vitamin E is active at the cell
membrane. Vitamin C is itself a radical that can
speed the electron flow through oxidation.
If ozone is taken for a long time at a high dose, it
is wise to take Vitamin A as a preventive measure to
prevent the lack of A and the problems associated
with it.
In summary, both effects have their function and
their place in a symbiotic relationship.
FREE RADICAL PATHOLOGY Excerpted from "Chelation
Therapy"
From the beginning of time, man
has searched for a way to regain youth and retard
aging. Countless cures, remedies and potions have
come along, each promising to be the real thing.
Medical doctors have searched for an answer as to
why people age and why the degenerative diseases
take such a toll. The free radical theory attempts
to explain these problems.
It is believed that man's maximum lifespan depends
primarily on genetics. Whether or not the lifespan
is fulfilled is believed to be dependent on the
damage that free radicals cause to DNA, leading to
degenerative diseases such as diabetes, arthritis,
atherosclerosis, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
Humans are composed of 60 trillion highly
specialized cells. These cells vary a great deal in
structure and in the functions they perform. Free
radicals are produced in our cells due to normal
respiration and assimilation of sugar. Atoms
normally contain an even number of paired electrons.
During chemical reactions, electrons become unpaired
momentarily, allowing the reaction to occur. If for
some reason, an electron becomes separated, it will
cause an imbalance and become a free radical. This
unbalanced free radical can damage cells that do not
have sufficient enzyme coatings. These enzyme
coatings are formed by catalase, reductase,
glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase. In
healthy cells, these enzymes prevent cell damage
from free radicals. When cellular health declines,
free radicals are able to attack and cause damage.
It is believed that degenerative disease is caused
by this type of action.
We can limit the damage caused by free radicals by
arming ourselves with free radical scavengers. Some
of these scavengers are Vitamin E, Vitamin C,
Vitamin A and beta carotene, and selenium.
THE FREE RADICAL THEORY - Dr. Deepak Chopra
In the mid-1950s, Dr. Denham
Harman of the University of Nebraska theorized that
free radicals are an important cause of aging at the
cellular level. This is believed to happen through a
process called cross-linkage, a chemical reaction
that locks up the outer atomic shells of collagen.
The cause of cross-linkage is thought to be the
tendency of free radicals to bind indiscriminately
with many vital molecules in the body, including
DNA. Cross-linkage is only one example of the damage
free radicals can inflict. They can also split up
molecules, garble information in cells, clog cell
membranes, promote cancerous mutations, and impair
the function of the mitochondria (the energy
factories inside each cell). Free radicals will
attack almost any molecule; the extent of the damage
they do is so wide that the free radical theory of
aging has grown in popularity with each passing
decade. Paradoxically, free radicals are necessary
to life A free radical is really a temporary
stopping-point leading from one stable molecule to
another. The normal life-span of such unstable
particles is thousandths of a second; millions of
these fleeting molecules are emitted in every cell
as it burns sugar with life-giving oxygen. Why does
the body produce free radicals? They are the natural
product of any chemical reaction and they fit into
the body's overall balance. White blood cells use
free radicals in hydrogen peroxide to destroy
invading bacteria and viruses. In that role, the
free radical's tendency to latch onto anything in
sight saves your life daily. To protect itself from
any damage, every cell produces enzymes to
neutralize free radicals. These free radical
scavengers include superoxide dismutase and catalase.
In recent times, people have been urged to take
large amounts of free radical scavengers in order to
minimize cell damage. However, the eminent Japanese
medical investigator Dr. Yukie Niwa, himself a
staunch proponent of the free radical theory, has
demonstrated in the laboratory that dosing a culture
of cells with these products does little to decrease
free radical production. It would be still less
effective fro a person to swallow these scavengers,
as most woud be nullified by digestive juices long
before they got to the cells they were meant to
protect. The whole life extension enterprise misses
the point. The damage caused by free radicals is
secondary, not causal. In its normal state, the body
controls free radicals as a matter of course. Your
body is not blindly fighting for its life against
"bad" chemicals; such a notion is far too
simplistic. If you could view a cell as it produces
its myriad free radicals and myriad scavengers at
the same time, you would see the two floating around
in the same environment, not like loose cannons, but
closely monitored and controlled by the cell. Both
are kept in balance and used as the cell requires a
serene harmony. It has not been shown that older
people have necessarily higher levels of free
radicals in their cells or lower levels of
scavengers. Free radical damage is but on type of
imbalance that can occur at the cellular level. If
the body's generative powers are at optimum,
disorder and chaos do not attack a cell. One of the
ways to maintain the body's state of generative
health is through exercise, providing a good supply
of oxygen to the cells. By actually building muscle
late in life, older people can significantly
rejuvenate their whole physiology, reversing the
metabolic decline we have come to see as normal.
Pysical fitness is also intimately linked to one's
general well-being and attitude.
OXIDATION: THE KEY TO CANCER AND DEGENERATIVE
DISEASE
-Dr. George A. Freibott
"Even for cancer, there is only
one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the
prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the
respiration of oxygen on normal body cells by a
fermentation of sugar." - Dr. Otto Warburg, the
recipient of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, in 1931
and again in 1944.
Oxidation - What does the word oxidation mean? Of
late, much has been spoken of ozone, oxygen,
oxidation, oxidative therapies and aerobics. What do
these have in common? What are the mysterious
properties that result in such phenomenal healing
assistance to the body?
Oxidation is defined as the ability of oxygen to
combine with other substances forming water and
gases. In the body, the process of oxidation occurs
repeatedly. Without this process taking place, life
would cease very, very quickly. We take oxygen,
through our respiratory exchanges, and dispose of
body effete, also referred to as 'toxins.' Our blood
has the function of picking up oxygen from the
lungs, transporting it, and disposing of toxins.
This, in combination with several other metabolic
functions, is oxidation.
Oxygen, the most crucial element to our health and
lives, is vastly being depleted: Pollution, whether
internal or environmental, is the robber. Often
today we hear of the 'toxic free radicals' and the
free radical theory of disease causation. Yet,
without free radicals the body ceases to exist.
Oxygen and ozone break down to upaired, freely
bonding electron sub-units able to combine wiht
other free radicals. These new compounds can then be
excreted. The common belief today is "Free radicals
are bad, nasty, harmful to the human body." Do not
be fooled! Free radicals are necessary to the
functioning and nutrition of the human organism. It
is the excessive proliferation of free radicals that
are unnecessary to metabolic function and nutrition
that are often harmful to the human organism.
Why are we now discussing free radicals? Because
free radicals are either a boon or a bane to the
state of health and homeostasis. Without the free
radical oxygen, also known as O1 or nascent oxygen,
'nasty, destructive' free radicals cannot be
efficiently eliminated by the body. The nascent free
radical oxygen seeks out and combines with toxic
free radicals. These destructive free radicals have
accumulated due to the absence of healthy 'free
radical' oxygen. This absence has hindered the whole
oxidative cycle of our aerobic bodies.
The ingestion of ozone and magnesium peroxide raise
the level of oxygen in the body, and contribute to
improved health through improved oxidation.
OXIDATION - Dr. William Turska, 1951
Health is dependent almost
entirely upon a pure, healthy blood and general
humoral circulation. Every organ, nerve, tissue and
cell depends on vital blood and humoral fluid for
nourishment and elimination of wastes. When these
vital fluids are impaired, the system begins a
general degeneration and alteration from the norm.
The object of respiration is to bring atmospheric
oxygen in close relationship with the hemoglobin of
the blood and permit the interchange of oxygen with
carbon dioxide, thus eliminating this end product of
oxidation along with other products in minute
quantities. In the process of respiration, waste
products are exposed to the action of oxygen and
they are combusted, producing body heat. In the
living organism, heat is continually being generated
through the chemical action of oxygen upon carbon.
When the blood receives sufficient oxygen to unite
with the carbon, carbon dioxide is formed, which is
in a suitable state to be eliminated. The process of
oxidation is complete, the body temperature is
maintained at normal, the organs perform their
functions properly and the system is in a condition
to resist the influence of microbes.
When, however, an insufficient amount of oxygen is
received by the blood, carbon is incompletely
burned, and carbon monoxide is produced. Through its
poisonous influence, the system becomes debilitated,
or 'run down.' Carbon monoxide is an irritant to the
nervous system, it attaches to the hemoglobin in red
blood cells, and it interferes with organ functions.
The body temperature is reduced below normal which
renders the system incapable of resisting the
influence of various bacteria, viruses and yeast.
Disease is the result. Subnormal temperatures
indicate under-oxidation, or hypoxia. The under
oxidized person will present a host of symptoms:
headache, backache, insomnia, vertigo, constipation,
asthenia, anemia, and non-specific gastro-intestinal
upsets. Under-oxidation renders the system
susceptible to a multiplicity of disorders, which
will worsen and become chronic over time. Scientists
long ago recognized the great oxidizing and
antiseptic properties of ozone, but owing to its
irritating effects and and toxic properies when used
in raw form, it was abandoned from the therapeutic
calender except in a few instances. The therapeutic
abilities of ozone were in evidence, but the manner
of application would not allow reliable results.
With modern equipment and protocols, ozone is now
able to be used to great therapeutic effect. It has
been found that ozone potentiates hormones,
botanicals, vitamins and many drugs by an amount
ranging from 10 - 100%. In addition, it has been
demonstrated that ozone treatment of milk completely
eliminates any harmful bacteria without having to
resort to pasteurization, which destroys beneficial
enzymes.
OZONE THERAPY -Fritz Schellander
Medical ozone therapy is quite
new to Britain and only practiced by a very few
doctors. It is used only somewhat more in the US,
but in Europe, especially Germany, more than 7,000
doctors use it daily.
The different modes of action of ozone on a living
organism are now well understood and involve the
production of peroxides. The peroxides are
responsible for the remarkable bacteriacidal and
fungicidal effects of ozone. The virus inactivation
is enhanced by a peroxide intolerance of weakened
infected cells. Normal cells are protected from the
effects of ozone by enzymes in the cell wall -
glutathione peroxidase, catalase and superoxide
dismutase. Ozone stimulates the production of these
enzymes, thus enhancing the cell wall resistance to
invasion.
In addition, ozone has been shown to have a
measurabel benefit on the uptake and utilization of
oxygen through improved glycolysis in red blood
cells through the abolition of harmful red blood
cell stacking. In addition, ozone stimulates and
activates mitochondrial respiration and metabolic
pathways.
All mammalian tissues depend for their survival and
health on an adequate oxygen uptake and therefore
ozone would benefit every person through optimizing
tissue oxygenation. Thus ozone has a preventative as
well as remedial role. The application for
prevention would include increasing longevity,
enhancing performance, rejuvenating seniors,
optimizing the healing of wounds, and stimulating
immunity.
Ozone's therapeutic remedial uses are extensive and
growing daily. All bacterial, viral and fungal
infections are eliminated by ozone therapy. Heart
disease, angina, arteriosclerosis, gangrene, senile
demetia, ulcers, varicose veins, arthritis,
ankylosing spondylitis, diabetes, all forms of
cancer, Parkinson's disease, inflammatory bowel
disease, immune deficiency, allergies and asthma are
just a few of the conditions that are regularly
treated with ozone.
Ozone combines extremely well with intravenous
chelation therapy which is used to treat arterial
disease and heavy metal toxicity.
The therapeutic use of ozone has an excellent safety
record and no toxic effects have been observed from
clinical use. The use of ozone as a healing adjunct
is well established and is being vigorously pursued
by many scientists and clinicians. The benefits are
predictable and without side effects. As technology
advances, undoubtedly new techniques will enlarge
the scope of the effective use of this versatile
modality.
OZONE: ITS THERAPEUTIC ACTION
A widely used remedy is just
starting to be used here in the United States. This
remedy is so pwerful, so efficient in what it does,
that it may reform the practise of medicine. The
substance is ozone! It is antibacterial, antiviral
and kills protozoa. It works by releasing oxygen
into the blood stream when applied externally,
intravenoulsly, rectally or vaginally.
In 1740 Schonbein discovered ozone, although he did
not know or understand its structure. The discovery
was enlarged upon in 1891 with the determination of
the ozone molecular formula. Observation soon
revealed that ozone reacted with and destroyed
bacteria and other organisms. During the first World
War, the application of ozone to war wounds served
primarily as a disinfectant. In 1934 the dentist E.A.
Fische and the surgeon Erwin Payr found that ozone
saturated water was a great bacteriacide and began
using it. This usage slowed temporarily because the
ozone would quickly destroy the rubber tubing it
flowed through. The arrival of Teflon and poly-vinyl
tubing overcame this inconvenience.
Today the largest commercial use of ozone is in the
purification of water. Both the FDA and EPA certify
ozone as destroying 99.9992% of all pathogenic
germs, while oxidizing (destroying) 99.9992% of all
pollutants in the water at the same time.
Ozone (O3) is an allotropic form of oxygen: it is
oxygen in its most active state; it therefore means
a more generous supply of oxygen, the life giver.
Through the action of the flashes of lightning, and
the photochemical reaction of the UV light of the
sun on atmspheric oxygen, nature produces ozone for
the purpose of purifying the air, and to destroy all
organic decay upon which disease germs and bacteria
thrive. Like oxygen, ozone is a healthful gas. It
has, however, much greater oxidizing, antiseptic and
germicidal power and for this reason is being used
with great success for the relief of various
diseases. Recently, the FDA and EPA have been
telling the public that ozone is poisonous, and
detrimental to the body. This is not so! For years
physicians around the world have used ozone for
bringing palliative and curative results to many,
many individuals. Ozone is one of the most energetic
and useful agents known to sciencel Its therapeutic
action is due to oxygenation of the blood by the
loose molecule (free radical) of oxygen in the O3
compound. It is carried to the various organs and
tissues of the body and absorbed, thus oxidizing the
waste products, and facilitating their elimination.
In other words, ozone increases the metabolism
without the expenditure of vital energy and special
stress should belaid on the fact that ozone is a
NATURAL remedy.
In the process of respiration waste products are
exposed to the action of the oxygen of the air, and
they are burned up very much as if they were put
into a stove, thereby producing body heat. In the
living body, heat, whether tangible or not, is
continually being generated through the chemical
action of carbon and oxygen.
When the blood receives sufficient oxygen to unite
with the carbon, carbon dioxide (CO2) is formed,
which is in a suitable state to be eliminated. The
process of oxidation is complete, the body
temperature maintained at normal (98.6 F), the
organs perform their functions properly and the
system is in a condition to resist the toxic
influences of microbes, environment and mankind's
excesses.
When, however, an insufficient amount of oxygen is
received by the blood, carbon monoxide (CO) is
formed, which is NOT readily eliminated, and through
its poisonous influences, trouble begins. Carbon
monoxide is a DE-oxidizer. It acts as an irritant to
the organs, the body temperature is reduced below
normal and the system is rendered incapable of
resisting the toxic influences of various bacteria,
viruses and environmental toxins, and disease is the
result. So prevalent is subnormal temperature among
people who are called 'run down.' that nine out of
ten of them will show a subnormal temperature by
actual thermometer test.
There have been several reasons given for subnormal
temperatures in recent years: they range from
'thyroid insufficiency' to 'hypothalamus disorders.'
These explanations are correct, but only to a
degree. The CAUSE of the problem is low and
inadequate oxidation. Therefore the thyroid,
hypothalamus, or endocrine organs (given as the
cause) are hindered in their normal metabolic
function and the sub-normal temperature is the
result. The correct way to counteract this situation
is to give a substance that will restore the
oxidative process.
Thd clinical thermometer is the best means of
determining the existence of underoxidation and
should be used routinely. The temperature of one who
is underoxidized will be found to run from a
fraction to several degrees below normal.
The underoxidized and subnormal temperature person
will present one of more of the following symptoms:
headache, dizziness, insomnia, constipation,
faint-feeling, loss of appetite, palpitation of the
heart, liver and kidney problems, menstrual
problems, cold hands and feet, anemia,
gastrointestinal problems, chlorosis, etc., all of
which are due to an improverished blood supply.
The symptoms or conditions ther rise from a
subnormal temperature are not necessarily in
proportion to the degree of subnormal temperature. A
person showing a fractional part of one degree of
subnormal temperature may present as severe problems
or conditions of disease as one who is several
degrees below normal.
A sufficiency of oxygen for the blood means better
blood, better circulation, better assimilation,
better equilibrium of body temperature, better
vasomotor activity, better digestion, better
elimination of waste products, less chance of
autointoxication or toxemia, and less chance of
infection and disease.
After careful analyticla
investigation of disease, it has been demonstrated:
1. That one of the most common important conditions
that the person is called upon to correct is
weakness produced by an impoverished or diminished
blood supply.
2. That under-oxidation produces bad health
primarily because of an insufficient supply of
oxygen that makes certain the formation of carbon
monoxide, which is at once a de-oxidizer, a
hemoglobin destroyer and an irritant poison
devitalizing the blood and paving the way for a
multiplicity of acute troubles, many of which run
into chronicity.
It has been suggested that a subnormal temperature
may be a normal condition with some people. This
deduction can be disproven by placing anyone with a
subnormal temperature under active influence of
ozone and the temperature can be made to rise back
to normal.
