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.
Almost all forms of nervous, functional, respiratory
and blood disorders can be successfully corrected by
oxidation restoration. The effects are perfectly
natural, the nerves being left calm and toned with a
feeling of buoyancy and exhileration. It stimulates
the vasomotor system through the nerve centers,
which fact is clearly shown in the increased redness
of the skin, a feeling of warmth in the whole body,
and waste products being more freely eliminated. The
ozone treatment show that poor oxidation is the
cause of many disorders, by reason of the fact that
when the temperature is brought up to normal, the
problems disappear.
Another aspect of ozone therapy that is understood
by almost nobody in the medical community is the
ability of ozone to oxidize almost instantly
anything of a plant physiology. This is paramount
importance when you consider the work of the great
German biochemist Dr. Otto Warburg. He discovered
the cause of cancer in 1923 and received his first
Nobel Prize in 1931 for doing so. Dr. Warburg
demonstrated that when the level of oxygen available
to the cell drops below 40% of normal, the cell, in
order to survive, begins to ferment the sugar
anaerobically. The regulatory mechanisms on cell
replication are shut off, and the cell begins tomake
copies of itself wildly. The growth of cancer cells
is supported by fermentation which can be initiated
only in the relative absence of oxygen.
Ever since Warburg's discovery, researchers have
been attempting to stop the fermentation process
through drugs, radiation and surgery, which in some
cases, has been temporarily successful. Although the
National Cancer Institute verified Warburg's
theories in the 1950's, very little work has been
done to determine the causes of the lack of oxygen
in our cellls. We must determine ways of getting
more oxygen to all of our cells to prevent the
initiation of the fermentation process.
It is unfortunate that up till now the U.S.
authorities have been painfully slow in their
investigation of the beneficial uses of ozone. The
Sixth World Ozone Conference held in Washington D.C.
during May, 1982, produced many astounding papers on
the medical uses of ozone. They ran the full gamut
of topics from cancer to herpes to rheumatoid
arthritis, written by the world's recognized
specialists in their fields. These papers concluded
that:
1. Ozone removes unwanted bacteria and viruses from
the blood, the same way it does with water.
2. The possibility of becoming infected with
hepatitis, HIV virus, syphilis or other infectious
diseases through blood transfusion could be
eliminated by the use of ozone.
3. Ozone is highly effective in peripheral vascular
disease.
4. Ozone is effective in cardiovascular and
cerebrovascular disease, arteriosclerosis and
hypercholesterolemia, and promptly restores
circulation, relieves angina pain and improves brain
function.
5. With ozone cancerous tumors, lymphomas and
leukemia may be eliminated without the use of
surgery, radiation or chemotherapy.
6. Ozone is highly effective for all forms of
rheumatoid and arthritis collagen diseases.
7. Ozone is very effective for allergies of all
types.
8. Ozone improves multiple sclerosis, and other
neurological diseases, senility, as well as in
Parkinson's disease.
9. External use of ozone is very effective in
treating burns, acne, leg ulcers, open cuts and
wounds, aczema, fungus and other skin disorders. 10.
Rectal insufflation with ozone is effective for
proctitis, colitis, prostatitis and fissure; vaginal
insufflation is effective for candidiasis and other
yeast infections, trichomoniasis and other forms of
vaginitis; bladder insufflation is effective for
cystitis and bladder fistulas, as well as cancer.
11. AIDS, herpes, hepatitis, mononucleosis, and
cirrhosis of the liver have been successfully
treated with ozone. 12. The application of ozone is
virtually painless, , has no adverse side effects
and is extremely cost-effective for both physicians
and patients.
13. As of 1994, sixteen countries allow the use of
ozone therapy. In a study Germany, of all the
millions of treatments, there have only been four
deaths reported, with only 40 persons having side
effects.
Most people are puzzled as to why something with
this potential has not be used in the United States
before now. In order to understand this, one has to
examine how medicine has evolved over the past 100
years on two continents; Europe and America. In the
late 1800's, the way medicine was practiced in both
areas was very similar, though quite diverse.
Doctors on both continents were taught many
different techniques of healing including herbal
medicine, potions, manipulations, diets, purges,
colonics, as well as drugs, and surgery. These
physicians practiced holistic medicine in its
original form. The divergence began in the United
States with the discovery of insulin and penicillin
in the 1930's. In close conjunction with the rise in
power of the drug companies is the ever increasing
policing of all medical therapies by the FDA along
with the development of the health insurance system.
Today's American doctors get practically no training
in therapies other than drugs or surgery and are
discouraged from practicing any alternative
therapies. On the other hand the European system
nurtured diversity in which pharmaceutical
development, as well as alternative treatments, were
encouraged. This is how ozone, as a medical
treatment, was allowed to develop in Europe, but did
not find fertile ground in the United states, after
1933. Ozone is not patentable. Thus, there is no
money to be made in its research and development as
a treatment since it cannot be protected. Money is
what makes things happen in the United States, thus
ozone hasn't happened. However, with the development
of the AIDS crisis over the last decade, many
physicians in this country have been prompted to
study the work done by clinicians in Germany and
attempt to duplicate their results. The FDA has
actively persecuted doctors who have used ozone
therapy. In spite of this, there is a growing
network of physicians who have been using this
efficacious therapy.
BETTER BLOOD STERILIZATION WITH OZONE From:
Supply and Services Canada R&D
Bulletin - Science and Technology No.234, September
1992
Ozone may soon be used to destroy viruses in donated
blood, thanks to researchers at the Department of
National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Red Cross (CRCS).
Under a $300,000 contract with the Surgeon General
Branch of DND's National Defence Headquarters,
researchers from the National Reference Laboratory
of the CRCS are investingating two ozone
sterilization technologies to confirm their reported
efficacy in deactivating a variety of potential
viral contaminants of blood, including HIV-1 and
hepatitis. "If the Canadian military is operating in
an underdeveloped part of the world and is cut off
from its supplies, we may have to resort to local
blood sources," says Major Brian Crowell, Health
Services Research Coordinator at DND. "We're looking
for a sterilization technique that can be taken to
the field, put together on the tailboard of a truck
or in a tent, and used to sterilize donated blood
quickly and effectively." Once developed, such a
sterilization technique would have applications
beyond the military. Dr. Peter Gill, Director of the
CRCS' National Reference Laboratory, says ozone
sterilization technology could be used in disasters
to aid civilian populations. Researchers are
investigating two methods of sterilizing blood with
ozone have been patented by Medizone and Mueller
Medical. Theses ozone sterilization methods are easy
to operate, quick to perform and cheap. Researchers
will also investigate ways to combine ozone
sterilization and filtration techniques. There are
no known adverse or toxic effects of ozone
sterilization. In Europe in 1986, the University of
Bonn investigated over 350,000 cases where ozone was
used therapeutically and found virtually no side
effects of ozone therapy when properly administered.
Results from Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland
indicate that ozone seems to destroy only infected
cells, deactivating them and the viruses in them,
all without creating toxicity problems. "The
products of this research have worldwide
applications," says DND's Capt. Shannon. "Ozone
sounds almost too good to be true. We're trying not
to be over-enthusiastic, but the data so far is very
compelling."
Are Worry-Free Transfusions Just a Whiff of Ozone
Away? Albert C. Baggs, BSc.
From Medical Science News,
Canadian Medical Assoc; April 1993 Scientists in
Canada and the United States are investigating the
use of ozone to destroy the human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV), the hepatitis and herpes viruses and
other infectious agents in the blood used for
transfusion. The studies were endorsed by medical
circles of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) because of a concern that viral pandemics
have compromised the ability of world banks to meet
urgent and heavy military demands. NATO's fears are
justified. The World Health Organization (WHO)
recently estimated that more than 200 million people
are long-term carriers of hepatitis B virus and that
about 13 million people are infected with known HIV
strains. The spread of HIV is being impelled by
socioeconomic factors and a worldwide recession. As
HIV spreads, an increase in the rejection rate of
blood donors, now exceeding 30%, must be expected.
Laboratories in Canada, the United States and other
countries have evidence that sterilization with
ozone is feasible. In a brief to the NATO Blood
Committee, the Surgeon General of the Canadian Armed
Forces reported on Canadian findings that a three
minute ozonation of serum spiked with one million
HIV-1 particles per cc would achieve 100% viral
inactivation. It was also found that the procedure
would destroy several other lipid-encapsulated
viruses, including simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)
and various other animal strains.
Canadian interest in the technique stems from early
German successes in the 1950s, and from in-vitro
studies with ozone by Captain Michael E. Shannon, a
scientist in the Department of National Defence. His
experiments led to a pilot study using ozone-treated
blood in a volunteer group of 24 patients with AIDS
at the Ottawa General Hospital(aproved by the Health
Protection Branch and the hospital's ethics
committee). The Canadian experiments with HIV and
other viruses gas-exchange technology from Mueller
Medical International Inc. (Oakville, Ont.) with
help from Medizone Inernational Inc. (New York). Two
teams of U.S. virologists have used comparable
equipment to confirm the Canadian results. Red blood
cells showed no impairment in either study. Ozone
has long been used to destroy bacteria in municipal
water supplies. Its efficacy is partly attributed to
the oxidation of unsaturated bonds in the
phospholipid and lopoprotein architecture of
bacteria, viruses and infected cells. The oxidation
generates hydro-peroxides, which are transformed to
peroxyl and hydroxyl radicals and to other reactive
species, including aldehydes. Peroxyl radicals
attack proteins, and hydroxyl radicals induce
disruptive structural changes in cell membranes.
Virus-infected cells are unable to withstand the
oxidation due to deficient cell wall enzymes. Thus,
at even low ozone concentrations, infective agents
can be destroyed selectively without damage to
healthy tissue. Several other mechanisms have been
postulated for the destruction of HIV: inactivation
of viral reverse transcriptase, which would
otherwise take over host interference with the
ability of the HIV envelope glycoprotein gp 120 to
bind to the lymphocyte receptor CD4. To prove these
concepts, a pilot study was undertaken. It was a
collaborative effort between scientists at the
Department of National Health and Welfare, the
Department of National Defence, the Canadian Animal
Disease Research institute and Cornell University,
Ithaca, NY. It addressed the fundamental question:
Will whole blood experimentally contaminated with a
highly virulent strain of simian immunodeficiency
virus (SIV) produce immunodeficiency disease in
primates if the blood is treated with ozone before
transfusion? The answer came back loud and clear:
Ozone protected all simian subjects from infection
by cleaning all viruses from the blood. The
systematic use of ozone in the treatment of AIDS
could not only reduce the virus load, but also
possibly revitalize the immune system. Several
German and Italian studies have shown that ozone
enhances the production of interleukin-2 and
interferon-y. Findings at laboratories in North
America and Europe have demonstrated that ozone has
remarkable potency against disease factors in blood
products. Blood approved for transfusion must be
certified to be free of viral and bacterial
contaminants, and ozone appears to fill the
requirements The preliminary findings of Captain
Shannon indicate that concentrations of ozone as low
as 20 ug/cc may be perfectly effective.
THE IMPORTANCE OF OXYGEN - Dr. Robert E. Willner MD
PhD.
Virtually every patient's room in
a modern hospital is equipped for the administration
of oxygen. Every emergency room is required by law
to have the same equipment. Deep breathing exercises
are prescribed for patients with lung problems and
for persons recovering from surgery. The narrow
applications of these techniques is very
unfortunate. They should be routine for every
person. The average person takes their respiration
for granted. There are large Eastern religions who
incorporate consciousness of breathing as an
important teaching in their religious instruction.
Indians refer to 'prana" as a wonderful substance
that God has provided for a healthy life. It seems
certain that prana is ozone.
Deep breathing exercises carry greater importance
today than ever before, because of the lowered
amount of oxygen in the air in our cities. The
effect of gradual oxygen deprivation on metabolism
is devastating and leads to a greater production,
and an inadequate processing, of the toxic wastes
that our bodies produce daily. One of the
consequences of a lowered oxygen supply is the
elevation of uric acid in the body. This causes a
wide variety of metabolic problems.
The most common disease associated with a uric acid
disorder is gout and it is primarily dur to an
inability to fully process meat protein. However,
almost every system of the body is detrimentally
affected. The formation of kidney stones and gall
bladder stones, the blocking of circulation, and the
destruction of joints by the formation of
crystalline deposits are just a few fo the serious
problems that arise.
There are hundreds of known biochemical reactions in
the body the utilize oxygen. Acute deprivation of
oxygen (hypoxia) leads to a rapid death; we are
simply getting there more slowly. The impairment of
oxidative processes is directly related to the
development and progress of cancer.
The use of ozone in the treatment of cancer
addresses the problem of cellular hypoxia, or oxygen
starvation, and has wide systemic effects. The
efficacy of this treatment has been proven over the
last fifty years in Germany.
THE HEALING CRISIS - exerpt from 'Alive'
magazine
A healing crisis is in effect when the body is in
the process of eliminating toxins. Reactions may be
mild or they may be severe. One should expect this
and work toward it. The body's inherent desire is
perfect health and we have the ability to earn our
way back to that state. To do so, the body must go
through an elimination process called the healing
crisis.
A healing crisis results when all body systems work
in concert to eliminate waste products and set the
stage for regeneration. Old tissues are replaced
with new, and stored toxins are eliminated. A
cleansing, purifying process is underway and stored
wastes are more easily removed. Sometimes there is
pain of greater intensity that the lower level of
chronic problem gives, but it is usually of short
duration.
The
crisis will usually bing about past conditions in
reverse order to the original problem. People often
forget the diseases or injuries the have had in the
past, but are usually reminded during a healing
crisis. Reactions may include skin eruptions,
nausea, headache, sleepiness, fatigue, diarrhea, a
cold, ear infections, boils, or any other way the
body uses to eliminate toxins. The crisis usually
lasts three days, but if the energy of the patient
is low, it may last for a week or more. The body
needs juices, and especially water, preferably
ozonated, to help carry off the toxins. This is a
time for rest - mental as well as physical rest.
One crisis is not always enough for a complete cure.
The person in a chronic state, who has gone through
many disease processes in life, must go through
these processes again. Often the crisis will come
after one feels his very best, setting the stage for
the action. Most people feel an energy boost the
first few days. Then toxins are dumped into the
blood stream for elimination by way of the liver,
kidneys, spleen, skin, bladder and colon. Listen to
your body and go as slowly as your body needs to so
that your cleansing is gradual and comfortable.
With a more serious condition there may be many
small crises to go through before the final one is
possible. Everything must be considered and given
its proper place in the build-up to a healing
crisis. One should expect it and work towards it.
Then the goal of optimum health can be achieved.
INTERESTING MEDICAL OZONE FACTS - Dr. H.E. Sartori,
MD
Ozone has been used in Germany
since the 1950's to disinfect donated blood and has
been found effective in eliminating transmission of
hepatitis, syphilis, and most recently, HIV.
The most common method of ozone administration in
Germany has been major autohemotherapy. However,
intravenous ozone therapy has been used since the
early 1980s.
The main advantages of intravenous are:
1. Precise dosage.
2. Consistently better results compared with
autohemotherapy. Direct IV application produces much
better results and requires fewer applications. This
is particularly apparent in patients with lung
cancer, allergies, and AIDS.
3. Prompt elimination of any allergic components
contributing to cancer formation and virtually all
other degenerative diseases, all vascular diseases,
immune diseases, and allergies of all types. This
effect is much more consistent than with
autohemotherapy. The same applies to removal
viruses, bacteria, and fungi that may also be
adjunctive factors for cancer and other degenerative
diseases. Direct intravenous ozone consistently
removes unwanted antibodies from the bloodstream.
4. Clean application of the ozone with simple
syringes without the requirement of using disposable
bottles and other equipment that could be
contaminated with HIV.
When ozone is injected into the blood stream, it
immediately starts to react with any available type
of oxidizable substrate, most notably the lipids of
the cell membrane. Lipid peroxidation products of
ozone include alkoxyl and peroxyl radicals, singlet
oxygen, hydrogen peroxide (peroxide burst is the
mechanism by which viruses, bacteria, and fungi are
killed by macrophages and microphages), oxonides,
carbonyls, alkanes and alkenes.
If all the different reactants are taken into
consideration, there may be products formed in
minute ("homeopathic") amounts under conditions of
considerable turbulence, simulating homeopathic
"succession," the vigorous shaking used in classic
homeopathy to "potentiate" the remedy. This brings
about a healing crisis. After the healing crisis is
brought about by the ozone administration, these
conditions are resolved (analogous to the effects of
homeopathic remedies) and people reach a new level
of well-being. Particularly impressive is this
effect in all chronic allergies, asthma, hay fever,
brain allergies, and in chronic fatigue syndrome.
A. MEDICAL OZONE APPLICATIONS FOR AIDS
Ozone is the most important
modality in the comprehensive treatment plan
necessary for successful treatment of AIDS. In
conjunction with neuro-associated conditioning, a
complete nutritional program, advanced microcurrent
therapy, herbal immuno-stimulation, and a total
lifestyle rehabilitation program, ozone has been
proven effective in reversing AIDS, even in terminal
patients.
The main ozone effects in AIDS patients are:
- The reversal of any unresolved pathogenic process
that may contribute to immune deficiency. - The
effective killing of all viruses, bacteria, fungi,
and protozoa involved in AIDS. - The stimulation of
depressed immunity and the alleviation of excessive
immune reactions. - The elimination of any allergic
component and all HIV antibodies. - The elimination
of malignant tumours. - The elimination of toxins,
fatigue and prostration, along with a general
revitalization.
B. OZONE AND THE MAIN MANIFESTATION OF AIDS
- Ozone promptly reverses
AIDS-related opportunist infections including
pulmonary infections such as pneumocytis carinii
pneumonia, pulmonary toxoplasmosis, bronchopulmonary
candidiasis, pulmonary cryptococcosis, pulmonary and
disseminated histoplasmosis, mycobacterium avium
complex, cytomegaloviru and herpes simplex,
pneumonia, tuberculosis, nocardiosis, pyogenic
bacterial pneumonia, and lymphoid interstitial
pneumonia.
- Ozone assists in reversing opportunist
malignancies such as non-Hogkins lymphoma
(especially if pulmonary), hepatomas, and T-cell
leukemia and lymphadenopathy associated virus.
- Ozone has proven to be highly effective in
reversing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy,
inditinguishable on MRI and neuro-diagnostically
from herpes varicella-zoster viral lesions also seen
in AIDS patients.
- Ozone effectively reverses any allergic factors
contributing to immunodepression low T-cell count,
especially low CD4 counts. After ozone treatments,
there are frequently prompt increases of the CD4
cell count, rapid decreases of HIV antibodies, and
normalization of most blood parameters within a few
months.
- Vaginal ozone applications are very effective for
substained debilitating vaginal candidiasis of
female AIDS patients. Ozone is part of the treatment
program for aggressive cervical cancers often seen
in female AIDS patients, as well as candida.
- Ozone eliminates viral and bacterial contaminants
from blood products such as syphilis, Hepatitis B
and C, HIV, HTLV-1, HTLV-2, Colorado tick fever, as
well as babesiosis, malaria, leishmaniasis,
trypanosomiasis, and toxoplasmosis.
- Ozone is the most effective treatment for viral
infections such as mycoplasmydial, chlamydial, and
rickettsial infections without any of the long-term
side effects of antibiotics.
- Ozone is effective against arbovirus infections,
all forms of ecephalitis, dengue hemorrhagic fever
and shock syndrome, yellow fever, jaundice
hematemesis, oliguria with proteinuria, Congo-
Crimean hemorrhagic fever, Omsk hemorrhagic fever,
Kyasnur Forest disease, and arthropod-borne viral
fevers, such as Dengue fever, Rift Valley fever, and
Colorado tick fever.
- Ozone is effective against arenaviral diseases
such as Lassa fever, Argentine and Bolivian
hemorrhagic fevers and lymphocytic choriomeningitis.
- Ozone is also highly effective against respiratory
viral infections from infuenza, parainfuenza,
respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus, adenovirus,
coronavirus, as well as against measles, mumps and
rubella.
- Ozone is effective in viral infections in
immunocompromised patients such as herpes simples 1
and 2, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus,
varicella pneumonia, herpes zoster, Guillain-Barre
syndrome, Ramsay-Hunt syndrome, Bell palsy, colitis,
transverse myelitis and mononucleosis.
- Ozone is effective in minimizing complications of
enteroviral infections such as poliomyelitis,
aseptic meningitis, rabies, myocarditis/periicarditis
and myalgia.
- Viral diarrheas caused by rotavirus, Norwalk
agent, astrovirus, and corona virus respond well to
rectal ozone applications
- Chiamydia, pneumonia of all types, endometritis,
epididymitis, salpingitis, proctitis,
conjunctivitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis and
mycoplasma infections respond well to systemic and
local ozone applications.
- Ozone is effective for the treatment of Rocky
Mountain Spotted Fever, typhus, ehrlichiosis and
trench fever.
- Ozone is the treatment of choice for all types of
acute or chronic allergies including asthma,
sinusitis, and rhinitis.
- Ozone is an effective treatment for urticaria,
angioderma, hpotension, bronchospasm, uterine spasm,
anaphylactic shock, and reactions to stinging
insects.
- Ozone treats hemolytic anemia, thrombopenic
purpura, leukopenia, pemphigus, pemphigoid,
myasthenia gravis, hyperthyroidism, pernicious
anemia, and renal disease.
- Ozone works against rheumatoid arthritis, lupus,
polyarteritis, cryogobulinemia, pneumonitis,
aspergillosis, and glomerulonephritis.
- Contact dermatitis and granulomas of all types are
effectively treated with ozone.
- Ozone is effective against Hashimoto thyroiditis,
SLE, Goodpasture syndrome, Graves disease, RA,
Addison Disease, anglitis, panniculitis,
polyarteritis, and Wegener granulomatosis.
- Ozone combined with shark cartilage, herbal
treatments and lifestyle therapy produces prompt
regression of cancer tumors and impressive long-term
cure rates in most cancer patients. Ozone acts by
both destroying the tumor directly and by
stimulating the the depressed immune system.
Specifically, ozone enhances the formation and
function of T-lymphocytes, the production of
cytokines, such as interleukin, interferon,
tumornecrosis factor, lymphotoxin, granulocyte and
macrophage colony-stimulating factors and cytokine
synthesis inhibitory factor. Interleukin-2 is the
most important T-cell drived lymphokine. Ozone may
also sensitize lymphocytes to become tumor
infiltrating lymphocytes.
- Ozone is a great detoxifier, oxidatively
destroying tar, soot and oil in the lungs, benzene,
vinyl chloride and other hydrocarbons that are
carcinogenic.
- Ozone is effective in alleviating adverse effects
from conventional cancer treatment with radiation,
chemotherapy and of surgery complications, such as
immunodepression and wound infection.
- Ozone is particularly effective against bacterial
pneumonias, fungal infections, coccidioidomyosis,
candidiasis, cryptococcosis, pulmonary aspergillus,
septicemia and zygomycosis.
- Other bacterial disease that ozone has been found
effective on include: leptospirosis, listeriosis,
brucellosis, arthralgia, lymphadenopathy,
meningitis, paravertebral abscess, all hepatitis,
orchitis, epidydimitis uveitis, cellulitis,
vasculitis, tularemia, tetanus, botulism, food
poisoning, enteritis, myonecrosis, anthrax, Lyme
disease, melioidosis, salmonella enteric fever,
relapsing fever, meningococcal infection, E.coli
Bartonellosis, meningicoccosis, hemophilus,
pneumococcus, and echovirus.
- Protozoal infections for which ozone is effective
include giardiasis, cryptosporidiosus, malaria,
trypanosomiasis, pneumo-cystosis, naeglaria,
acanthamoeba meningoencephalitis, and visceral
leishmaniasis.
- Ozone insufflated rectally is the most effective
treatment for inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative
colitis, Crohn's disease, pancolitis, amebiasis,
procto-sigmoiditis, intestinal tuberculosis,
diverticulitis, fistulas, fissures and abscesses,
irritable bowel syndrome and hemorrhoids.
- Rectal and systemic ozone is the most effective
treatment for liver disease of all types including
hepatitis, hepatocellular cancer, cholestatic
syndromes and cirrhosis of the liver.
- Ozone is especially indicated fro rheumatoid
arthritis, systemic lupus erythemoatosis,
scleroderma, polymyositis, ankylosing spondylitis,

- Ozone is a highly effective adjunct to EDTA
chelation therapy. It is useful in ischemic heart
disease, angina, myocardial infection and ischemic
arrhythmia, and cardiomyopathy. Ozone helps to
eliminate any drugs, alcohol or environmental toxins
that may contribute to heart or vascular disease. It
has produced dramatic improvements in peripheral
vascular disease, and relieved claudication,
ischemic cramps and ischemic ulcers. Ozone with EDTA
has produced excellent results in cerebrovascular
insufficiency, fibromuscular dysplasia, lupus
erythmatosus, polyateritis, nodosa, granulomatous
angiitis, Takayasu panarteritis, meningovascular
syphilis, intracranial arterial occlusions,
Alzheimer's disease and senile dementia, and
cerebral atrophy.
- Ozone is an excellent therapy for varicose veins,
especially if associated with pain, fatigue, cramps
of the calf muscles, stasis syndrome with
pigmentation, eczema, subcutaneous induration, and
varicose ulcers.
- Ozone is an effective treatment for multiple
sclerosis, optic neuritis, encephalomyelitis,
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's
disease, essential tremor, tardive dyskinesia,
dystonia, supranuclear palsy, striatonigral
degeneration, Tourette syndrome and Huntington's
chorea.
- Ozone is helpful in improving the circulation in
optic neuritis, ischemic optic neuropathy orbital
cellulitis, cavernous sinus thrombosis, uveitis,
vascular retinopathies, senile macular degeneration,
papillitis, herpes zoster opthalmicus, toxic
amblyopia, glioma, malignant melanoma, otitis media,
mastoiditis, otosclerosis, Meniere disease, acute
vestibulopathy, herpes zoster oticus, and all
peripheral poly-neuropathies.
- Ozone oxidatively destroys chlorinated and
nonchlorinated hydro-carbons and alicycllic
compounds and thus helps eliminate most drugs,
alcohol and all manmade environmental toxins that
contribute to human disease.
- Ozone is indicated for the topical treatment of
dermatological disorders such as herps simplex and
zoster, warts and molluscum contagiosum, impetigo,
ecthyma, epidermal necrolysis, erysipelas,
folliiculitis, furuncles, carbuncles, tinea,
candidiasis, scabies, pediculosis, cutaneous larva
migrans, acne, rosacea, psoriasis, lichen planus,
erythema multiforme, pemphigoid, bullous pemphigus,
dermatitus herpetiformis, morbilliform, ichthyosis
vulgaris, epidermolytic keratosis, lamellar
ichthyosis, basaliomas and spinaliomas, stasis
dermatitis, stasis ulcers decubitus ulcers, and
healing of fistulas, and burns of all types.
- Ozone helps minimize the effects of radiation
treatment/poisoning, such as decreased libido,
amenorrhea, anemia, leukopenia, thrombopenia, skin
cancers, osteosarcoma, pneumonitis, pericarditis,
myocarditis and myopathy.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED! AIDS AND CANCER ARE CURABLE!
Dr. George Freibott, ND, MD
Friends, pay attention to the following: If you are
deceived into believing that there is no cure for
AIDS or cancer and are suffering from or have loved
ones who are suffering from these dreaded diseases,
the following may be of extreme help in reducing or
even arresting suffering. Check out the following
extracts. These are not, I repeat NOT, from any
unrecognized sources or journals but from
highly-respected individuals and institutions! The
Government with the FDA, AMA and even the press, is
being negligent of the welfare of our fellow human
beings. Do not fall prey to their negligence and the
lack of recognition of their own data! Rise up from
the doldrums of apathy and unbelief! Our ignorance
and lack of heed to the laws of Mother Nature and
our personal insensitivity has caused these
problems. Demand utilization now of these
scientifically, time-tested, safe, non-toxic,
harmless and lifesaving compounds. Demand this from
your Government officials, health and welfare and
welfare institutions, doctors, colleges of research
and the press, now. Check out the extracts below.
The following dictation is from BLOOD, the Journal
of the American Society of Hematology, Vol. 78,
No.7, October 1, 1991: "Inactivation of Human
Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 by Ozone in Vitro" By
Keith H. Wells, Joseph Latino, Jerrie Gavalchin, and
Bernard J. Polesz. "A device was designed to deliver
a constant source of given concentration of ozone
fluids containing Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type
1 (HIV-1). Ozone was found to inactivate HIV-1 in a
dose-dependent manner. Greater than 11 log
inactivation was achieved within 2 hours at a
concentration of 1,200 ppm ozone. Similar
concentrations of ozone had minimal effect on factor
VIII activity in both plasma and immunoaffinity-purified
preparations of factor VIII treated for the same
time period. The data indicate that the antiviral
effects of ozone include viral particle disruption,
reverse transcriptase inactivation, and/or a
perturbation of the ability of the virus to bind to
its receptor on target cells. Ozone treatment offers
promise as a means to inactivate human retroviruses
in human body fluids and blood product
preparations." Copyright 1991 by the American
Society of Hematology. The following dictation is
from the respected scientific journal SCIENCE, Vol.
209, August 22, 1980: "Ozone Selectively Inhibits
Growth of Human Cancer Cells" Abstract: "The growth
of human cancer cells from lung, breast, and uterine
tumors was selectively inhibited in a dose-dependent
manner by ozone at 0.3 to 0.8 part per million of
ozone in ambient air during 8 days of culture. Human
lung diploid fibro-blasts serve as non-cancerous
control cells. The presence of ozone at 0.3 to 0.5
part per million inhibited cancer cells' growth 40
and 60 percent, respectively. The non-cancerous lung
cells were unaffected at these levels. Exposure to
ozone at 0.8 part per million inhibited cancer
cells' growth more than 90 percent and control cell
growth less than 50 percent. Evidently, the
mechanisms for defense against ozone damage are
impaired in human cancer cells."
THE HISTORY OF MEDICAL OZONE IN THE TREATMENT OF
AIDS
Dr. John Pittman MD
The following is a summation of exciting occurances
in the field of innovative medicine, and
particularly in the treatment of AIDS, due to its
powerful oxidizing effect. Ozone is an energized
form of oxygen with extra electrons present, which
spontaneously disperse from the molecule as soon as
they are produced.
Ozone blasts holes through the membranes of viruses,
bacteria, yeast and abnormal tissue cells. One of
the early uses of ozone was in America in the
1930's, when it was found to be effective in
treating various types of inflammatory bowel
disorders, such as ulcerative colitis, Krohn's
disease and chronic bacterial diarrhea. In this
procedure, ozone gas is delivered into the rectum
through a catheter tip, where it is absorbed through
the lining of the colon.
German researchers have been leaders in the
development of ozone technology. In the Fifties,
they developed a technique for treating blood with
ozone called 'major autohemotherapy.' In this
procedure, about 300 cc's of blood is taken from a
vein into a vacuum bottle. Ozone is then bubbled
through the blood, after which the blood is
reinfused. In this procedure, ozone destroys any
virus particles in the blood. It is also absorbed
into the plasma and after reinfusion, disperses
throughout the body.
Another technique for using ozone is direct
infusion, in which the ozone gas is injected
directly into the vein. This has the advantage of
being more precise in terms of dosage delivered, as
well as allowing administration of higher
concentrations.
Other techniques include direct application to the
skin through the use of ozone water baths and steam
cabinets.
Through dilligent research, the Germans were abel to
determine that ozone was incredibly effective in
destroying such infections as hepatitis,
Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, cytomegalovirus and HIV.
With the realization that HIV was susceptible to
ozone, the Germans began using the autohemotherapy
technique to treat AIDS patients as soon as this was
a recognized disease.
There have been numerous anecdotes about the
German's success with ozone, and many physicians in
this country have been using it with great success.
Until recently, neither the government institutions
nor private corporations have sponsored any rigid
clinical ozone studies. There appears to be a
built-in bias against the development of therapies
such as ozone, because it is a non-patentable gas.
Our pharmaceutical industry has developed based on
the ability to patent synthetic drugs that can be
sold at a profit, and thus recoup the initial
investment expense. This has resulted in a system
which supports drug development by this method and
has discouraged the development of simple,
inexpensive or non-patentable substances.
Nevertheless, numerous physicians have used ozone
successfully, risking sanctions by federal and state
authorities, as this is not a FDA approved
treatment.
In 1986 a company was formed with the purpose of
developing ozone technology for medical use in the
treatment of HIV infection. This company, named
Medizone Inc. was formed by Terrance McGrath. Mr.
McGrath founded Medizone with the purpose of
declaring ozone as a drug, and proceeding with the
development of this drug just as any other
pharmaceutical company. He assembled a research team
of experts in hematology and the biochemistry of
oxidative substances, and began to go through the
laborious process that the FDA requires for a new
drug development.
One of the factors the FDA would require in the
development of any new drug was the ability to
deliver a precise quantity at a given concentration.
In this case, it would be necessary to know the
exact amount of ozone being produced by the machine
as well as that being absorbed by the blood in order
to determine the proper dosage. Mr. McGrath's
research team developed a device to deliver ozone
through a thin filter membrane to blood that has
been drawn from the body. This allows a precise
regulation of the quality of ozone being delivered
and absorbed by the blood.
Upon development of this patented device, Medizone
was able to sell stock to raise money for the
laboratory studies and animal toxicity trials that
were necessary before FDA would give approval for
human studies with ozone. They have cooperated with
the FDA and have produced very good research data
which has been published in peer review journals.
The most recent data was found in the article
'Blood, The Journal of Hematology' in October of
1991. It was a report on a study done in Syracuse,
New York, which proved that ozone will inactivate
HIV in vitro (in the laboratory, outside the body.)
In this case, blood that was infected with the virus
was treated by ozone using Medizone's device and
then was studied afterward for any trace of viral
particles. Following the publication of this
research, it was expected that the FDA would grant
Medizone approval to begin Phase 1 of human clinical
trials. However, the FDA came back to Medizone with
the requirement that they conduct large animal
toxicity studies using an animal with blood volume
comparable to that of humans in order to determine
if there is any toxic effect. The study that has
been developed will use large pigs, will cost a
considerable amount of money, and will add more time
to the procedure for approval. At the time ot this
writing, Medizone still intends to move forward with
this study while attempting to receive early
approval for a human trial.
The government has become more receptive to the idea
of innovative medicine by establishing the Office of
Alternative Medicine at the National Institute of
Health. Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa has been
instrumental in establishing this office. The
Senator has family members who have experienced the
improvements using natural and alternative
therapies, thus he has been a valuable proponent of
these treatments.
Through the action of Senator Harkin, other members
of Congress, and public pressure, the Senate
Appropriations Committee set aside two million
dollars for the establishment of this office in
February of 1992. They have yet to look at ozone.
I am very excited to announce that we have opened
the North Carolina Bio-Oxidative Health Center in
August 1004. We are located in the Blue Ridge Plaza,
a medical office building near Rex Hospital in
Raleigh, NC. This center is the outgrowth of several
projects in which I have been involved over the past
five years as part of my ongoing research of ozone
and detoxification therapies in the treatment of
immune system disorders.
I voluntarily closed my office in Raleigh in 1992 to
comply with an order from the NC Board of Medical
Examiners that I cease using ozone in my medical
practice because it was considered non-conventional
and was not in common usage by other doctors within
the state. Since then, through the actions of many
individuals and patients' rights groups, the law has
been changed so that a physician cannot have his
license revoked for using experimental or
non-conventional therapies.
North Carolina is now the fifth state in the country
with a freedom of medicine law which allows
physicians to choose those therapies they feel will
benefit their patients the most and gives the
patients the ability to choose the kind of medical
care they feel is best for them.
IMMUNIZATION AND OZONE - Saul Pressman
It was the work of Louis Pasteur, Edward Jenner,
Rudolph Virchow, Robert Koch, Paul Ehrlich and Emil
von Behring that brought about the theory of
wide-spread immunization, based upon the idea of
producing antibodies in th blood to 'help out' the
body's immune system to identify and attack
'invading germs.' Through the work of Antoine
Bechamp, William F. Koch, Royal Rife, Gunther
Enderlein, Carl Edward Rosenow, Otto Warburg and
Gaston Naessens, the original assumptions underlying
this theory regarding the body's immune system have
now been shown to be erroneous.
The so-called 'bad' bacteria and viruses that modern
medicine fights with its huge arsenal of
pharmaceutical drugs are in reality the germs of
life. These germs of life live in symbiosis with the
nutritive medium that constitutes our body, allowing
it to be built up and later decomposed, to be
metamorphosed and recreated. These germs are
pleomorphic shapeshifters who are controlled by the
medium in which they live. Germs are not something
separate, isolated, unfriendly and coming from
without, but are rather the foundation for all life.
Without germs, there is no life. Their number is
infinite. Their function is varied. Germs can change
shape, join together, separate again and return to
their primordial condition. Viruse, bacteria and
fungi are various developmental forms of germs. The
nutritive medium on which the germs thrive
determines the type of development they will
undergo.
Early in this century, Dr. Carl Edward Rosenow of
the Mayo Biological Laboratories began a series of
experiments in which he took distinctive bacterial
strains from a number of disease sources and placed
them in one culture of uniform media. In time, the
distinctive strains all changed and became one
uniform class. By repeatedly changing cultures, he
could individually modify bacterial strains, making
harmless ones 'pathogenic,' and in turn reverse the
process. He concluded that the critical factor
controlling the nature of the bacteria was the food
and environment they lived on. These discoveries
were first published in 1914 in the Journal of
Infectious Diseases.
Rosenow's work was corroborated and expanded upon
about two decades later by Royal R. Rife, developer
of the Universal Microscope, with a resolution of
150,000 power. This precision instrument made live
bacteria and viruses visible.
Rife showed that by altering the environment and
food supply, friendly bacteria, such as colon
bacillus, could be converted into the 'pathogenic'
bacteria known as typhoid. Rife was able to observe
that the viral agent associated with certain forms
of cancer could in time be modified into harmless
bacillus coli, and the process reversed. Rife stated
that it was the unbalanced cell metabolism of the
human body that in actuality produced the disease.
He believed that if the human body was perfectly
balanced, it was susceptible to no disease.
This work closely paralleled Alexis Carrel's earlier
research at the Rockefeller Institute where he was
able to control the rates and levels of infenctious
disease mortality among mice by altering the diet.
Researcher Rene Dubos reaffirmed these findings and
suggested that virulence is an ecological problem:
that is a problem of the state of internal
cleanliness.
It is known that children who cannot produce
antibodies in their blood (agmmaglobulinemia)
nevertheless recover from diseases such as measles
and still have long-term immunity. People with no
antibodies have been found who are extremely
resistant to diseases, while other people have
developed diseases to which they already had high
levels of antibodies.
Official U.S. military records show that highly
immunized personnel manifest a mortality rate from
diptheria four times higher than of unvaccinated
civilians.
It is now clear that the body needs no 'help' of the
sort provided by immunization; that antibodies in
the blood stream are not required to protect teh
body; and that immunization can cause immune
suppression, permanent nervous system damage, and
growth stunting. There is also strong evidence that
immunization can actually cause the diseases it was
meant to prevent. This view has gained support from
the writing of a report commissioned by the Canadian
International Development Agency (CIDA) from Dr.
Raymond Obomsawin in 1992.
In his detailed report, Dr. Obomsawin found that the
idea of induced immunity was an illusion founded on:
-discredited scientific theories; -the refusal to
examine contrary data; -the lack of proper followup
assessment of immunized children - and poor
statistical methods.
The positive impact of immunization on public health
has never, repeat NEVER, been substantiated in any
unbiased study. Immunized people have repeatedly
fallen ill to the disease they were supposedly
vaccinated against, and epidemics are statistically
MORE numerous in more widely vaccinated groups
(studies in Gambia, Brazil and Taiwan).
Estimates by 'experts' on the degree and severity of
adverse reactions have been woefully wrong, and
serious damage and even fatalities have gone
unreported, preventing a true assessment of the
value of immunization.
Repeatedly, statistics and reports have been
manipulated in an attempt to show the effectiveness
of vaccination. The best known case involves the
famous Salk polio vaccine. This massive program is
held up as a shining example of the effectiveness of
vaccination, yet the statistical evidence shows that
polio was on its natural cyclic downturn at the time
of introduction of the vaccine in 1956. In one of
the rare double blind tests ever done on a vaccine,
the group receiving it had 200 cases of polio
reported, while the control group had none. Polio
disappeared in Europe in the mid-Fifties about the
same time as in America, yet there was no program of
mass-vaccination there.
Some scientists are now postulating that full
vaccination irreparably weakens the child's immune
system. These same scientists theorize that mass
innoculation is responsible for the widespread
escalation of auto-immune, degenerative and allergic
conditions amongst those subjected to vaccination as
children. A further disturbing trend is the
increasing coercion placed upon parents to force
them to have their children subjected to this
massive invasion of their bodies. The weight of
state sanctions against parents is unconscionable,
especially when the true dangers of immunization
have now been laid bare in this report.
Now that we know that vaccination offers no
protection against disease we are left with the
question of what disease, how to present it and how
to treat it.
The Cause of Disease
The human body is 2/3 water, 10%
of it in the blood and 90% in the lymph. It toxins
are allowed to build up in the system, the water
gets 'dirty.' If the blood pH varies from 7.3 then
the beneficial microbes that are necessary in the
body begin to change their form, and disease
results.
To maintain a clean system, it is necessary to have
a proper diet, one that produces a blood pH that is
neither too alkaline (bacteria problems) or too acid
(cancer problems). And it is necessary to have
sufficient oxygen in the system to allow cellular
respiration to be efficient and allow complete
oxidation, preventing the production of carbon
monoxide which the body cannot expel.
Each cell burns sugar (carbohydrates) in oxygen to
make its fuel. The carbon-hydrogen bond is cleaved,
and the oxygen bonds with the hydrogen, forming H2O
(water) and CO2 (carbon dioxide). If there is
insufficient oxygen available, CO (carbon monoxide)
is formed instead of CO2, excessive lactic acid is
formed and the blood is made more acid. If this
oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) continues long enough,
the cell will no longer be able to sustain the
process of oxidation and it will be forced to
ferment its sugar anerobically in order to survive.
This process turns off the governor on cell
replication and therefore wild growth can begin.
Ungoverned cell growth is called cancer.
Circulation of clean, oxygen-carrying blood is a
basic requirement for optimum health, and this can
be achieved by bringing ozone into the body. The
least expensive way of ding that would be to live on
a mountain far from the cities and breathe deeply -
- the recipe for an Eastern master.
Failing that, we can use an ozone generator to
create ozone from pure oxygen and bring that into
the body in any one of a dozen ways in order to
oxidize toxins and oxygenate the cells. Ozone works
at the basic level of all important bodily functions
- respiration, digestion, assimilation, elimination
and immunity. And this is the answer to the question
of what we substitute for the worthless and
dangerous vaccination programs.
It is imperative that the red blood cells be kept
free-floating and unclumped, so that they can carry
the proper amount of oxygen. Ingestion of ozone
keeps red blood cells from clumping and therefore
keeps circulation of the optimum level necessary for
good health.
If people were to have reliable and inexpensive
ozone generators in their homes, they could purify
their water, their air and their bodies. If adequate
nutrition and sanitation were maintained, diseases
of all types could be prevented. The role of the
hospital would be reduced to an extension of the
emergency room for accident victims. The role of the
pharmaceutical company with its noxious potions woud
disappear, and the level of general health would
rise to new heights.
CONTEMPORARY OZONE APPLICATIONS - Kurt Donsbach
In order to appreciate ozone one
must first understand fully the critical role oxygen
plays in human life. Oxygen is by far the most
important necessity of human life. It performs
hundreds of tasks in the body, but the two most
important are energy production and detoxification.
The production of energy in the body is accomplished
by the combination of glucose with oxygen, producing
ATP. The body makes an amount of ATP equivalent to
your body weight every 24 hours. If you make 10%
less ATP than normal, you will feel tired and
sluggish. If ATP production falls too far, you will
deteriorate rapidly, and die. Energy is life and the
production of energy in the body depends upon
oxygen.
The second important function of oxygen is to
combine with metabolic waste products to allow their
elimination from the body. This process is called
the oxidation reduction cycle. When insufficient
oxygen is available, the detoxification process
slows down, wastes pile up, circulation becomes
sluggish, oxygen is prevented from reaching the
cells and disease results. Thus, we can see that
oxygen is essential to these two vital phases of
life.
Since oxygen is the most critical requirement for
life, the ingestion of substances teh increase the
level of oxygen in the body are the most beneficial
to optimum health. The best sources of oxygen are
ozone, hydrogen peroxide and magnesium peroxide.
Ozone treatment is safe because healthy cells are
surrounded by an enzyme coating, which ozone does
not penetrate. Bacteria and viruses have no such
coatings and are oxidized on contact by ozone. Ozone
also promotes the production of glutathione
peroxidase, catalase, reductase and super-oxide
dismutase which are the enzymes forming the cell
wall coating and therefore cellular immunity is
enhanced.
Ozone also has a measurable benefit on the uptake
and utilization of oxygen through improved
glycolysis in red blood cells, reduction of clumping
of red blood cells and the stimulation of
mitochndrial respiration. This improved cellular
respiration is invaluable in preventing cancer.
Cancer begins when a normal cell cannot get enough
oxygen. If the level of oxygen available falls below
40%, in order to survive, the cell will begin to
ferment sugar instead of burn it. This process is
irreversible, and results in an energy output only
1/6 as great as oxidation. The cell then lacks the
energy to manufacture a proper enzyme coating around
itself. The governor on cell replication is switched
off, and the cell can begin to make copies of itself
wildly. This ungoverned cell replication is called
cancer.
When ozone is introduced into the area, it
immediately attacks the unhealthy cells because they
lack a proper enzyme coating. Healthy cells are
untouched. If sufficient ozone is administered over
time, the tumor will be dissolved.
The applications of medical ozone include
performance enhancement, increased longevity,
accelerated wound healing, dentistry, heart disease,
all infections, treatment of all gastro-enteric
diseases, immune stimulation, treatment of all
cancers, and gerontology. Ozone also combines well
with intravenous chelation therapy which is used to
treat arterial disease or heavy metal toxicity.
Chelation therapy works quite slowly through a
number of infusions, and adding ozone can speed this
process up.
Ozone provides an immediate oxygen boost to heart
tissue which can noticeably reduce the incidence of
angina. It also improves brain function, because the
brain uses over 15% of all the oxygen in the body.
Through the development of modern equipment, home
usage of ozone therapy has become practical. Rectal
and vaginal insufflation, combined with use of a
body suit or bag, drinking of ozonated water and
breathing ozone bubbled through olive oil, are
established protocols for home usage.
The naso-pharyngeal area is often the site of
chronic minor infections which become acute in
cycles. Chronic sinusitis is probably one of the
most common maladies of today. The introduction of
ozone into the ear canals can be of great benefit in
reducing such chronic infections. At first, just do
it for a few minutes.
Another method of getting ozone into the body is
with use of a closed, one-person sauna. Since the
pores will be open in the moist heat, ozone can be
absorbed slowly and safely in large amounts through
the skin. This. method prevents the great fatigue of
toxic shock sometimes encountered with other
methods, because the oxidized toxins are sweated out
through the skin rather than being dumped to the
liver. This technique is particularly effective for
bed sores, ulcers, non-healing wounds and burns.
Medical doctors in Europe have recognized the
beneficial effects of ozone for over 80 years.
German doctors have developed many different methods
of administering ozone. Medical ozone therapy is
quite new to Britain and Canada, and only practised
by a few doctors. It is even less available in the
US due to active persecution by the FDA. But in
Germany, over 7000 doctors give ozone therapy daily.
The medical use of ozone has an excellent safety
record and no toxic side effects have been observed
in millions of treatments over nearly 100 years.
The use of ozone for medical therapy is
well-established and is being vigorously pursued by
many clinicians. As technology develops, new
techniques will emerge that will enlarge the scope
of the effective use of this healing modality.
MSM - METHYL SULFONYL METHANE - Saul Pressman
MSM is extracted from DMSO by the
process of adding another oxygen molecule to it so
that it separates the dimethyl solvent from the
sulphur. The sulphur left after this process is a
biologically active sulphur, and it is the active
ingredient in DMSO. DMSO is a byproduct of the
timber industry. At one time Crown Zellerbach
attempted to get rid of this 'waste' by spraying it
on dirt roads to compact the earth. This caused
problems, because animals of every description would
come and lick it all up. The deer would lick six
inch potholes in the road. Dr. Stanley Jacob of the
Oregon Health Sciences University observed this and
later identified this substance as DMSO, a healing
penetrant that instantly soaks in through the skin
and reduces pain. Eventually, Dr. Jacob discovered
that the active healing agent in DMSO is MSM.
MSM, the suphur-bearing amino acid, is available to
the cell and creates a flexible bond. Cells with
insufficient MSM lose their ability to flex. A
wrinkle is caused by cells that have lost their
ability to flex. Sulphur has a vital relationship
with protein, since sulphur is found in the amino
acids methionine, cystine and cysteine. The sulphur-bearing
amino acids are absolutely essential to health.
Sulphur acts as an activator with all the B
Vitamins, thiamin, biotin, Vitamin C and pantothenic
acid. Sulphur aids the liver in bile secretion and
helps maintain the overall body balance between
acidity and alkalinity. Sulphur plays a role in
carbohydrate metabolism, which is significant for
controlling hypoglycemia and diabetes. The lack of
biological sulphur in the body results in low
insulin production. Sulphur is a component of
insulin, which is secreted by the pancreas for
metabolizing carbohydrates. Sulphur keeps hair,
nails and skin healthy. In addition, sulphur plays
an important part in cell respiration and
assimilation. MSM is therefore essential and is thus
found in all living organisms. Medical research has
proven that a minimal concentration of MSM is
critical to function and structure, and that the
concentration drops as time passes, directly
contributing to aging. There has been extensive
medical testing over the last ten years on the use
of MSM in the diet. Some diseases considered
irreversible, such as emphysema, have been overcome
through use of supplemental MSM. Other diseases
treated with excellent results are: pyorrhea, skin
burns and scars, exzema, psoriasis, dandruff, loss
of hair, PMS, diabetes, hyperactivity, constipation,
parasites arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, candida,
chronic fatigue syndrome, Epstein-Barr and low
energy. MSM helps with the oxygenation of cells and
free radical scavenging, and is thus anti-aging.MSM
occurs in fresh fruit and vegetables, raw milk,
wheat grass juice and aloe vera. There is no toxic
dose, and the body will excrete un-needed MSM.
Because it helps in the production of methionine, a
basic liver enzyme, MSM is very important to proper
digestion and assimilation of food. The liver cannot
do its job of regulating enzymes and metering sugar
and filtering out toxins properly without MSM. It is
of little use to increase dosages of vitamins and
minerals if they will just be excreted. Daily
supplementation with MSM will ensure proper
absorption of all nutrients, with the corresponding
betterment of health.
METHYLENE BLUE
Methylene blue is a blue dye used
for staining tissue samples for viewing under a
microscope. It is a methyl donor with the ability to
cleave carbon monoxide off from hemoglobin. When the
body is poorly oxygenated, the sugar that is burned
in oxygen by the cell for energy burns poorly,
producing carbon monoxide, instead of carbon
dioxide. Monoxide has a great affinity for the iron
in hemoglobin, and the hemoglobin is unable to shen
it in the lungs, and so must leave without a fesh
supply of oxygen. This can produce the condition
known as methemoglobin anemia. People over the age
of fifty almost always have some methemoglobin in
their blood.
Driving in heavy traffic with the vents open can
also cause a buildup of carbon monoxide in the
blood. In addition, a faulty gas furnace or a smoky
fireplace can also cause the ingestion of carbon
monoxide.
Carbon monoxide in the system acidifies the blood,
irritates the organs and causes a lowering of body
temperature, which microbes of all types prefer. The
body's way of dealing with bacteria and viruses is
to shut off the intake of food and raise the body
temperature, which we call a fever, in order to
'burn out the bugs.'
For many years, methylene blue has been used to
treat cyanosis, a slight cyanide poisoning sometimes
caused by handling blueprints.
By taking methylene blue, 5 drops in a glass of
water before bed, we can eliminate carbon monoxide
from our blood in a few short weeks. Methylene blue
is safe and non-toxic. Its only side effect is to
temporarily turn the tongue blue, and to make the
urine green. It rarely needs to be repeated mre than
once a year.
FLAX OIL & OZONE
The concept of increasing blood levels of oxygen by
ozone and hydrogen peroxide therapies has great
merit. However, getting an increase of oxygen does
not guarantee an increase of oxygen on the cellular
level where it is needed most for cancer treatments
and other disorders.
An increase in cellular utilization oxygen is
achieved by increasing dietary omega 3 oils. (Flax
oil is nature's richest source of omega 3 oil
containing over 60%.) These omega 3 oils are
incorporated into each cell membrane as a building
block. There they play the important role of
attracting oxygen out of the blood to be utilized by
the cell. This effect is a polar attraction. (It is
the same reason omega 3 oils are used in fast-drying
paints because they attract oxygen.)
Two to three teaspoons of flax oil daily will meet
your daily needs. Flax oil naturally contains the
free radical scavengers vitamin E and beta carotene
which are important factors in any healing process.
Flax oil also benefits the cardiovascular system,
skin problems and inflammatory conditions such as
arthritis and colitis. Flax oil is a wonderful food
but should never be cooked. It can be put on
potatoes, vegetables and soups in place of butter or
on salads as a dressing.
One must avoid margarines, hydrogenated fats,
refined vegetables oils as these contain harmful
trans-fats which interfere with omega 3 absorption
and oxygen utilization.
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE - Walter Grotz
Oxygen is the most abundant
element on the surface of the earth. It comprises
45.6% of the earth's crust and 20.95% of dry air. It
is the most vital and necessary element for the
survival of life. Without oxygen, you can live only
a few minutes.
Through his research efforts, Dr. Edward Carl
Rosenow (1875 - 1966) worked out the causes of some
35 diseases and was the author of 450 medical
papers. Dr. Rosenow develped a technique by which
microorganisms in the body could be eliminated or
controlled. His basic tenet was that in every body
are millions of microorganisms, which adapt to the
habitat they are in. He felt that the wastes and
secretions of these microorganisms contributed to
many degenerative diseases. In this belief, he
agreed with the thinking of other medical scientists
such as Bechamp, Rife, Enderlein, and Gaston
Naessens. Dr. Rosenow experimented with the use of
hydrogen peroxide to reduce these microorganisms.
Hydrogen peroxide was first reported by the French
chemist Louis-Jacques Thenard in 1818, who named it
'eau oxygene' or oxygen water. It is found in traces
in rain and snow (McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of
Science & Technology, 5th Edition, p.747). In 1863
Meissner proved its presence in the rain water
collected during thunderstorms and this has since
been corroborated by others (Journal of the American
Medical Association, Vol x No. 9, March 3, 18880. It
gets into our rain and snow from atmosphere ozone
decending from above coming into contact with water
vapour.
From 1880 to 1904, Charles Marchand published 18
books on the subject of hydrogen peroxide and ozone.
An article on the intravenous injection of hydrogen
peroxide appeared in The Lancet of February 21, 1920
(Influenzal Pneumonia: The Intravenous Injection of
Hydrogen Peroxide).
An article on external use appeared in Hautzart
12:425, Setember 1961, Germany (On a Simple and
Painless Treatment of Warts).
Since 1966, there have been over 600 medical
articles published about hydrogen peroxide. They do
not all concern humans, and they are not all
positive
In 1983, there were over 100 articles published on
the subject of hydrogen peroxide.
The Food & Drug Administration in Federal Regulation
Vol. 46 No 6, January 9, 1981, gave the food
industry the green light to use hydrogen peroxide in
the packaging process. The FDA has further ruled
that hydrogen peroxide can be used in the processing
of cheese and cheese products, eggs and egg
products, and as an antimicrobial agent in whey
processing. They have also allowed it to be used in
cleaning and healing mouth injuries. Hydrogen
peroxide is now being used intravenously and
intraarterially by a number of American doctors. The
Inernational Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation (P.O.
Box 13205, Oklahoma City, OK 73113) is supporting
clinical reserch in this area.
Hydrogen peroxide is found in fresh fruit and
vegetables, some of it coming from rain, and some of
it manufactured in the process of photosynthesis
(General Biochemistry, Furton & Sommonds, p.338).
Eating fruits and vegetables raw ensures that we get
this hydrogen peroxide into our bodies, along with
valuable enzymes. Mother's milk contains a good
amount of hydrogen peroxide, and colostrum contains
even more. The spring water of Lourdes, famous for
its healing powers, has a very high content of
naturally occuring hydrogen peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide is used in milk in 45 countries
around the world, removing the need for
refrigeration. An article on the 'aseptic' process
for milk can be found in "Trailer Life," Novemeber
1981, p51-52.
Many people have found benefit in drinking diluted
amounts of hydrogen peroxide, but it can be
nauseating and cause stomach upset. It is better to
bathe in it, putting 8 ounces of 35% food grade H2O2
in a tub of warm, chlorine-free water and soaking
for 25-30 minutes.
- Alternatively, you could spray the body after a
shower with 3% hydrogen peroxide, avoiding the eyes
and hair.
- Spray vegetables and fruits with a 3% solution of
H2O2 and then rinse, to remove pesticides.
- In the dishwasher, add 2 oz. of 3% to the regular
washing formula.
- In the wash machine, add 8 oz. of 3% to the wash
in place of bleach.
- As a mouthwash, gargle with 3% H2O2, and then
rinse.
- Use baking soda and 3% H2O2 to make a paste for
brushing teeth.
- As a douche, add 2 tablespoons of 3% to a quart of
distilled water.
- For an enema, add 2 tablespoons of 3% to a quart
of distilled water.
To make a 3% solution, mix 11 oz. of distilled water
with 1 oz. of 35% hydrogen peroxide.
Always be careful when handling 35% food grade, and
keep it away from children. If you spill some, wash
the area with water to dilute it. If you get it on
your skin, rinse under running water. The skin will
temporarily turn white, but no permanent harm is
done.
SO YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT TRYING OZONE - David
Sterling
So you're thinking about trying
ozone therapy! It is important to know what you are
getting yourself into. Ozone is not a silver bullet.
Ozone is part of a whole lifestyle change. If you
don't think that you can commit yourself to change,
then don't. Change requires time, effort and
patience. It is not something that will come and go
in a matter of months. The basic premise is that you
are cleaning out the toxic wastes that your body has
been storing which are providing an environment the
encourages growth of pathogens and suppresses the
immune system. It will take time and effort to clean
up the situation.
What are you trying to accomplish in doing ozone
therapy? Take a moment and analyze your life. What
types of food do you eat? Do you smoke and drink?
Are you taking any drugs, either prescription or
non-prescription? Have you had chemotherapy or
radiation or metal poisoning in your lifetime? These
are all factors to be considered.
The body is 2/3 water. How dirty this water is
depends on how you have run your life. The more junk
food you've eaten; the more you've smoked and drank;
the more drugs you've put into your body; the more
toxic you are. The more toxic you are, the longer it
will take ozone to do it's job. You are going to
have to make some lifestyle changes. The healthier
you eat, the better off you are going to be. You
should consider eliminating meat from your diet, and
switch to vegetarianism, gradually. Care must be
taken to ensure a balanced diet. There are many good
books on the subject at this site's book store.
Remember that the blood pH should be maintained at
about 7.3 - 7.4.
Juicing is a great way to get nutrients. Try to get
a juicer which uses the pulp as well, because half
of the nutrients are int the pulp. Try and buy local
organic produce when possible, to avoid the
pesticides used on imported produce. Make sure you
wash all fruits and vegetables prior to
eating/juicing them. A 3% solution of food grade
hydrogen peroxide and pure water is great for this
purpose.
If you smoke and drink, you should stop. If you are
a non-prescription drug user, you should stop. You
should examine which prescribed drugs you are on as
well. If you are taking AZT or DDI, this will not be
compatible with ozone therapy, because the ozone
will attack the drug and be used up before it can do
the work on stored toxins.
Antibiotics are also bad for your system. Over a
period of time, they depress the immune system and
destroy beneficial bacteria. You will find the ozone
itself will act as an antibiotic while enhancing
your immune system.
You must also stop burning the candle at both ends.
The body needs its proper rest periods. If you're
not prepared to institute these changes, then don't
attempt ozone.
What water do you drink and bathe in? Both should be
as pure as possible. Do not drink tap water. Either
buy bottled water cleaned with ozone, or purchase a
reverse osmosis unit. You should attach a good
filter to your shower head to eliminate chlorine
from you shower/bathing water. Seeing that the skin
breathes, it is not a good idea to be ingesting the
chlorine that is used to sterilize the public water
supplies. You may want to try 35% food grade
peroxide as an inexpensive start to oxygenating your
system. You can take it internally (for dosage
schedule, refer to Ed Mc Cabe's book "Oxygen
Therapies"), but it is best to bathe in it (8 oz. in
a tub of warm unchlorinated water, soak 30 minutes).
If you have decided ozone is the way to go, there
are some things you should think about. A good
set-up will cost you about $2,500. This includes the
price of an ozone generator, an oxygen regulator,
and the purchase of an oxygen tank. After the
initial outlay, you can expect to go through about
$30 worth of oxygen per month. For IV injections,
you must use oxygen from a tank only. For other
treatments, such as rectal insufflations, you can
get away with using as oxygen concentrator, although
they are expensive to buy.
The more serious the disease, the more aggressive
you have to be with the ozone therapy. There are
many accepted ways to introduce ozone into the body.
Some of these include: drinking ozonated water;
ozone body bagging; rectal insufflations; vaginal
insufflation; and direct IV injection into a vein.
For the first few months, you will have to set aside
time for yourself to do the ozone therapy. As said
before, ozone is not a silver bullet. It takes a lot
of work and dedication. At first, you can expect to
spend AT LEAST a couple of hours a day doing ozone.
If you decide to attempt direct IV injections, how
do you plan to facilitate this? Do you have someone
qualified to do this for you, or are you going to
attempt to do this yourself? Self-injection is not
easy, and requires practice. It will take you at
least a week to perfect this. You can expect to have
bruised arms before you get it right. Remember that
you will be doing as injection a day for several
weeks.
You must also be prepared to perform some sort of
colonic (enema) process to clean your colon. As the
body detoxifies, you must ensure that your colon is
kept clean so that the toxins are eliminated and not
reabsorbed. If you are considering rectal
insufflations, you must clean yourself out (using an
colonic/enema) prior to using the ozone, each and
every time. For some, this is not a pleasant
thought, but it is a necessity in rectal
insufflation.
Do not expect to feel good for a while. As ozone
starts to do it's job, you may experience one or
more of the following: unusual fatigue; fever; night
sweats; diarrhea; nausea. Ozone wil generally force
toxins out of the body the way they were put in. The
more toxic your body is, the stronger these
reactions will be. This initial detoxification
process could last from several weeks to several
months. Do not despair, you will eventually feel
better. You can expect to see results, but only if
you're committed to the program.
It will not be easy, but you will see results. After
the initial detoxification, you wll have to go on a
maintenance program. This will also be dependent on
the individual person. Ozone may always be a part of
your new healthy lifestyle, protecting you from
toxic buildup and resultant disease in the future.
PROTOCOLS OF OZONE ADMINISTRATION AND OZONE
EQUIPMENT
There are twenty-two methods of
administering medical ozone. They are:
In the clinic:
1. autohemotherapy 2. intravenous injection 3.
intraarterial injection 4. direct injection into a
tumor 5. intracutaneous (blistering) 6.
intramuscular
7. subcutaneous 8. uterine insufflation 9. bladder
insufflation 10. sub-atmospheric bagging 11. dental
use of ozonate water.
In the home or the clinic:
12. rectal insufflation 13. vaginal insufflation 14.
drinking water 15. in the ear 16. ozonated water
enema 17. breathing through olive oil 18. deep
lymphatic massage with ozonated olive oil 19.
ozonate bath with sea salt 20. body suit 21. steam
cabinet 22. external limb bagging
DIRECT IV INJECTION OF OZONE
Procedure
Hook up the oxygen tank and regulator to the ozone
generator. Open the valve on the tank and open the
regulator to deliver 3/4 litre/minute and allow the
system to purge for one minute. Set the regulator to
deliver the flow rate required for the concentration
desired (say 40 ug/cc) and turn on the ozone
generator. Allow five minutes of running to
stabilize. Swab injection site with H2O2 and pump up
pressure cuff to enlarge vein. Fill the syringe from
the ozone generator. Press the plunger and expel the
ozone against a latex glove to be sure that ozone is
present. The glove will begin to disintegrate.
Refill the syringe. Shut off the ozone generator.
Insert the needle into the vein and release the
cuff. SLOWLY press the plunger and inject ozone at a
rate of about 5 cc/minute. Watch entry site for
puffiness. This means you are not in the vein. If
you run your fingers over this area, you may hear a
crackling sound. Do not worry, this is harmless.
Have the patient inhale through their nose and
exhale through their mouth during injection. If you
feel resistance against the plunger, pause for a
moment, then resume. The small needle will not allow
very fast injection. Tell the patient to inform you
at the first sign of any feeling in the
shoulder/chest junction, because this is the signal
that they have had enough. If there is no reaction,
inject another 30 cc until this signal is felt. Some
larger patients may take 100 cc or more; smaller
ones only 20 cc or less. Withdraw the syringe and
cover the injection site with a cotton swab. Shut
off the oxygen tank. Some patients will cough after
injection as the ozone outgasses in the lungs. This
is harmless, but can be annoying. If the patient
coughs for more than 30 minutes after the injection,
administer 5000 mg Vitamin C orally. This will stop
the ozone reaction. Inject once per day for a week,
minimum. After that point, rectal insufflation may
be sufficient. In certain cases, injection may be
necessary for many weeks. Switch veins regularly. If
the veins are hard to find, use the portal vein
(accessed rectally). The portal vein is especially
recommended for liver cancer.
MAJOR AUTOHEMOTHERAPY PROTOCOL
Apparatus:
60 cc glass syringe No. 25 Butterfly needles with
3-9" connecting tubing Heparin sodium without
preservatives: 1000 USP units per cc for each
syringe of blood; or sodium citrate 5-100 cc plastic
syringe with No. 25, 1" needles; for saline solution
Silk tape to hold Butterfly needle at the
anticubital area of the arm Rubber tourniquet for
upper arm or blood pressure cup.
Procedure:
Tie off the upper arm with the rubber tourniquet or
use the cuff attach 5-10 cc syringe with normal
saline to the Butterfly needle and insert into the
most visible vein in the anticubital fossa inject
2-3 cc of saline to see that the needle is well into
the vein secure the Butterfly needle with silk tape
withdraw 1.0 cc of Heparin sodium into the 60 cc
syringe turn on the ozone generator with oxygen only
to purge the system turn on ozone generator to
produce ozone insert tip of syringe into outlet of
ozone generator and draw in 30 cc of ozone Put a No.
25 needle on the syringe insert the Butterfly needle
into the vein and open the tourniquet the saline
syringe and attach the 60 cc syringe with ozone in
it. retie the tourniquet and then slowly fill the
syringe to make the blood mix with the ozone. The
blood will turn bright red. untie the tourniquet and
then slowly inject the blood over 5 minutes remove
the 60 cc syringe from the tubing to the Butterfly
needle and re-attach the 5-10 cc syringe of saline
inject 5 cc of saline to wash the blood back through
the needle; if desired, repeat twice with further
injections of Heparin and ozone. Remove butterfly
needle and apply cotton ball to injection site.
USING OZONE IN THE HOME
General procedure for operating
your ozone generator
1. Plug the generator into the wall socket.
2. Connect an air line from the output of the oxygen
tank regulator to the input of the generator.
3. Connect an air line to the output of the
generator and then to the appropriate attachment
(see below).
4. Open the valve on the oxygen tank and adjust the
flow rate on the regulator to 1/2 l./m. for one
minute then reduce flow rate deliver teh desired
concentration of ozone (see your calibration chart).
5. Engage the power switch on the generator.
6. When finished, turn off the generator, turn off
the oxygen tank, disconnect the lines, and store in
a safe place.
Drinking Water:
1. Bubble ozone through cold water using a white
ceramic diffuser at 1/8 litres/minute for 5 minutes
for a glass; 15 minutes per litre; one hr. per
gallon.
2. Drink immediately on an empty stomach.
3. Long term storage of ozonated water is only
possible if a few drops of Concentrace trace mineral
drops are added to the water first.
Rectal Insufflation:
1. Clean the bowel with an enema (ozonated water is
preferrable).
2. Hook up the generator to the oxygen tank
regulator as stated above, and connect the rectal
catheter.
3. Set the regulator flow rate to deliver 1/32
litres/minute.
4. Lubricate the catheter with Viamin E, lie on your
left side and insert the catheter about 2". Then
engage the power switch on the generator.
5. Work the abdominal area with a slow
counterclockwise massage beginning at the lower left
abdomen to ensure that the gas does not pool in one
area.
6. When a feeling of fullness, or of cramping is
felt, withdraw the catheter, shut off the generator,
and close the oxygen tank valve.
Vaginal Insufflation
1. Insert a clean lubricated vaginal catheter hooked
up to the ozone generator as above and set the
regulator to deliver 1/32 litre/minute. Turn on the
generator.
2. Often there is a burning sensation at first, and
if it is too uncomfortable, stop and try again the
next day.
3. After you are used to it, you may be able to run
it for an hour or two at a time.
Insertion in the Ear:
1. Hook up the generator to the oxygen tank and
regulator as above.
2. Insert the end of the air line carefully into the
ear.
3. Set the regulator to deliver 1/8 litre/minute and
engage the power.
4. Do each ear for 1 minute the first time, two
minutes the second, three minutes the third, etc.
5. Sinus draining may be profuse. Do not do more
than four days in a row.

DR. William Turska, ND: SUGGESTED PROTOCOLS
1. Direct tumor injection (such
as breast tumor): 1-10 injections as required;
needle aspiration; liquification increases as the
concentration of ozone increases; sometimes the
installation of a continuous drain is required,
sometimes just a poultice. 2. Vagina, uterus:
catheter administration with humidification;
endometritis requires insertion of catheter into the
cervical os.
3. Ear: for infections; 5 minutes per ear with
humidification.
4. Direct intravenous injection: into the portal
(rectal) vein for cancer (especially liver cancer)
and hepatitis; it is suggested to use EDTA type
chelation as well.
5. Autohemotherapy: syringe or bottle.
6. Nasal inhalation: 20 ug/ml through 2" olive oil
for i5 minutes twice daily.
7. Rectal insufflation: about 500 ml in one minute
spurts to use retroperistalsis to prevent gas pains.
Slow continuous sdministration also satisfactory;
humidification required.
8. Hyperbaric: 10 ug/cc ozone at pressure of 45' of
water - -30-35 psi.
9. The potency of any medicine is greatly increased
when taken in conjuction with ozone therapy, eg.
aspirin 100 times; chemotherapy 10 times.
10. Hydrogen peroxide injection: mixed results; it
is suggested to keep amounts and concentration low -
.0375%
11. Ozonated steam cabinet suggested as a good
method of treating lymph system.
12. External limb bagging
OZONE AND ITS USES IN MEDICAL THERAPY
Ozone therapy is one of the most
powerful and versatile therapies known today.
Extensive medical research on ozone therapy has been
done primarily in Europe. Through its mechanism of
action, ozone has beneficial effects on every part
of the body. The effects include: 1. Inactivation of
bacteria, viruses and fungi: Ozone disrupts the
intergrity of the cell envelope through peroxidation
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 interrupting the
virus-to-cell contact with peroxidation. Cells
previously infected by viruses are more susceptible
to destruction by the peroxide produced through
ozonolysis, because they have weak enzyme coatings.
2. Enhancement of circulation: In circulatory
disease, a clumping of red blood cells hinders blood
flow and becreases oxygen absorption due to reduced
surface area. There is a decrease in red blood cell
flexibility which prevents them travelling down the
tiniest capillaries, and blood viscosity increases.
With ozone therapy, clumping is reduced or
eliminated and flexibility is restored, along with
oxygen carrying abiltiy. 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 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
which shifts the oxyhemoglobin disassociation curve
to the right. This leads to an increase in the
amount of oxygen released to the surrounding
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
decarboxylation of pyruvate, stimulating production
of ATP. Ozone also causes a significant reduction in
HADH and helps oxidize cytochromes. 4. Dissolution
of malignant tumors: Malignant cells have an
increased rate of glycolysis which leads to the
production of more lactate. With ozone therapy,
there is a significant decrease in lactate
production, showing that the metabolism is being
inhibited Tumor cells have a peroxide intolerance
due to insufficient peroxidase and catalase. Ozone
is thus able to oxidize the outer lipid layer of
malignant cells and destroy them through cell lysis.
5. Activation of the Immune system: Ozone stimulates
the production of interferon and interleukin in the
body. From this there is a cascade of subsequent
immunological reactions.
6. Formation of peroxides: Ozone reacts with the
unsaturated fatty acids of the lipid layer in
celllular membranes, forming hydro peroxides. Lipid
peroxidation products include peroxyl radicals,
vital for killer cell action.
Oxygen plays a vital role in maintaining health in
the body. Oxygen and sugar are the primary nutrients
that each cell requires to generate energy for all
its life functions. These functions include the
transport of molecules, synthesis of all chemical
compounds and mechanical work such as muscle
contraction. Thousands of these reactions are
occuring at all times. These reactions are what
allow the heart to pump blood, the immune system to
fight infection, the gastrointestinal tract to
digest food, and the nervous system to process
information.
Oxygen is also an important structural component of
the organic compounds used by the body as essential
nutrients, such as vitamins and fatty acids. Oxygen
also has an important role in removing waste
products from the system. As people age, their
bodies extract oxygen and transport it to the cells
less efficiently. The cumulative effect of this lack
of oxygenation is a decrease in the flow of vital
nutrients to the tissue, the impairment of the
thousands of chemical reactions necessary and the
subsequent appearance of deficiency diseases. Thus
an abundance of oxygen creates health and well being
and a deficiency of oxygen contributes to illness.
OZONE APPLICATIONS - Brad Hunter, P.Eng.
Ozone is triatomic oxygen. As a
gas it is blue; both liquid ozone (-112 C) and solid
ozone (-193 C) are a deep blue color. It is this
blue ozone in the atmosphere that causes the sky to
be blue. At altitudes from 25-30 km. ozone is
created by a portion of the sun's ultraviolet
spectrum. It exists as a gas in concentrations of
10-20 parts per million. (ppm). In these
concentrations, ozone is a powerful absorber of a
narrow portion of the sun's ultraviolet radiation.
At ground level, ozone exists in a greatly diluted
state and is always present in minute quatities
(.001-.003 ppm) which we breathe in. It does not
become an irritant until levels above .1 ppm are
exceded for over eight hours. Below those levels
there have never been any permanent detrimental
effects from inhaling it. Ozone is created naturally
by crashing surf, whitewater rapids, and lightning
storms. Recently, ozone has come to public attention
as an alleged pollutant in smog. In order to measure
hydrocarbon air pollution, an index is required.
High levels of hydrocarbons have a corresponding
ozone level (since the ozone is attracted to the
pollutants), so by measuring the ozone, scientists
can measure indirectly how bad the pollution is.
What is not mentioned is that the ozone molecule
lasts for a maximum of 20 minutes as it busily eats
up the hydrocarbon pollution by oxidizing it. Carbon
monoxide, benzene, chlorides, sulphur and many other
pollutants are swiftly oxidized on contact by ozone,
thus cleaning the air. Ozone has long been
internationally recognized as the most powerful
oxidant next to hydroxyl, which is a mixture of
ozone with hydrogen peroxide. Ozone is used in over
30 different industries as an industrial oxidizer
and sterilant. Existing applications include:
synthetic fibers, chemicals, jet lubricants, air
scrubbing for clean rooms, treatment of industrial
wastes, potable water treatment, bottling plants,
sewage treatment, aquaculture, aquarium sanitation,
food preservation, sterilization of containers,
deodorization, pulpwood bleaching, metal extraction,
etc. Ozone's most well known use is in water
treatment as a primary stage disinfectant because of
its bacteriacidal and viricidal efficacy. Both the
EPA and the FDA acknowledge ozone's ability to
oxidize 99.9992% of all waterborne pathogens. Ozone
has been used for human health since 1860, and is
presently employed in over 16 countries. Its widest
use is in Germany, where over 7000 doctors have
treated more than 12,000,000 people since WW II. In
the United States, the FDA has not allowed testing
of ozone, and has actively persecuted physicians who
use it. Nevertheless, more and more doctors are
turning to ozone therapy as a crucial tool for the
treatment of serious diseases. In five states,
Alaska, Washington, Colorado, North Carolina and New
York, physicians are now able to employ any
therapeutic technique including ozone without fear
of persecution. In Dr. H.E. Sartori's recent bood,
the mutliple uses of ozone for human health,
dentistry, animal health and industrial uses are
well covered.
There are three technologies utilized for the
generation of ozone: Ultraviolet light, Corona
discharge, and Cold plasma.
1. Ultraviolet light in the 180-190 nanometer
wavelength generates ozone from ambient without
producing nitrous oxide compounds. But, UV cannot
generate the concentrations necessary for health or
industrial applications, even with oxygen feed.
Typically, UV systems produce only 1-3 ug/ml,
sufficient only for air purification and cleaning of
water in small quantities.
2. Corona discharge generates high concentrations of
ozone, up to 140 ug/ml, required for industrial
applications. If it is properly engineered and used
in conjunction with an air dryer, it may be used
with ambient air. It is the most cost effective way
to produce large quantities of ozone, but
reliability is always a problem. An improved
variation is called dualdielectric, used for medical
purposes, but long term reliabiltiy is again
problematic.
3. Cold plasma is a technique invented by Nikola
Tesla whereby noble gases are enclosed in a glass
vacuum tube and high voltage is applied. This is
where the future lies for medical applications,
because a clean flow of 50 ug/ml is obtainable from
this technology with very long term reliability. The
original Testaire medical machines of 1920s still
operate perfectly today.
Different uses of ozone require different
concentrations to obtain desired results. UV
generated ozone is adequate for small pools, but
larger pools, water parks and municipal water
treatment require corona discharge to generate large
quantities of ozone. It is important to deal with
people who are familiar with the specific
applications of ozone in order that systems are
designed to address the problem of each individual
installation.
Water engineers use a value called CT (concentration
x time) to measure the amount of work done by an
oxidant. It is important to consider the time factor
when using ozone, especially when there is a large
amount of undesirable material to oxidized.
Insufficient time of contact or too low a
concentration will produce incomplete results.
HEALING OZONE - Phoebe Chow, ND (Alive magazine #156
Oct./95)
Healthy cells need oxygen. Most
infections occur because of the invasion of
anaerobes that do not thrive in an oxygen-rich
environment. Deprivation of oxygen to the body, for
example through polluted air, sedentary lifestyle or
junk food diet which require a lot of oxygenation
for elimination, encourages anaerobic microbes to
proliferate. Over-growth of harmful microbes will
lead to breakdown of enzymatic reactions., overload
of metabolic wastes and ultimately cell death. Under
similar anaerobic conditions, cells tend to mutate
to more primitive life forms, turning from aerobic
to anaerobic respiration for energy synthesis. Nobel
prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg in 1923 demonstrated
that the primary cause of cancer is the replacement
of oxygen in the respiration chemistry ot normal
cells by the fermentation of sugar. The growth of
cancer cells is a fermentation process which can be
initiated only in the relative absence of oxygen.
Ozone is one of nature's most powerful oxidants. It
is used in water purification and sewage treatment
and is now being applied medically in Europe to
treat everything from wounds and colitis to cancer,
stroke and AIDS. Yes, the same ozone in the
atmospheric layer that is responsible for shielding
off utra-violet light from the sun and oxidizing the
pollutants in the air can be produced from medical
oxygen via electical discharge. It is administered
as an ozone/oxygen (O3/O2) gas mixture. According to
the dosage and concentration range, medical ozone is
a pharmaceutical agent that exerts specific
properties and a well-defined range of efficacy.
Properties of Medical Ozone
At the higher range of
concentration (three and a half to five per cent
ozone in a ozone/oxygen mixture) ozone exhibits a
strong germicidal effect by oxidative destruction.
The oxidative power of ozone has proven to be
effective in destroying lipid-enveloped viruses such
as Epstein-Barr, herpes, cytomegalovirus and viruses
that cause hepatitis. One recent study indicates
that ozone treatment was 97 to 100 per cent
effective in destroying HIV in vitro (in a test
tube). (Journal of American Society of Hematology,
October 1, 1992) At concentrations below
approximately three and a half per cent, the three
main restitutional properties of ozone can be
observed by its oxidative influence on the oxygen
metabolism, the induction of specific enzymes and
the activation of immunocompetent cells. It is these
systemic influences of ozone that cause it to be
such a potent therapeutic tool, because most of the
diseases affecting humans today can be traced to
diminishing levels of oxygen and a compromised
immune system.
Ozone Improves Oxygen Metabolism
Ozone improves the delivery of
oxygen to hypoxic tissues, as well as reactivating
the oxygen metabolism of cells. The mechanisms of
these systemic actions involve both direct and
indirect processes.
Ozone directly changes the electric charges of the
erythrocyte membrane increasing the flexibility and
plasticity of the erythrocythes, thus enhancing the
flow properties of the blood and the transport of
oxygen to the cells and tissues. This is especially
applicable in arterial occlusion disease whereby
"pile of coins" erythrocyte formation is typical.
The indirect mechanism consists of ozonolysis, ie.
the ionizing reaction of ozone with the unsaturated
fatty acids in the cellular membrane producing
peroxides. It must be pointed out that ozone behaves
as an ion, not a free radical under normal
physiological blood pH and therfore no radical chain
reaction occurs to cause exidative damages. The
reaction activates the enzyme 2,3-Diphosphoglycerate
(2,3-DPG) in hemoglobin to release oxygen. This is
of particular importance to diabetics in which
2,3-DPG is depressed.
Ozone Induces specific Enzymes The formation of
short-lived peroxides at the membrane are injected
into the cell and are removed by the enzyme
glutathione peroxidase. Therefore, it is recommended
to supplement with vitamin E, N-acetyl-cysteine and
selenium during ozone therapy to support the
glutathione detoxification system. In addition, the
enhancement of the glycolysis enzymatic pathway
results in an increase in adenosine triphosphate
production (energy currency of the cell). This is
significant in the management of stroke and burns.
The elevation of adenosine triphosphate synthesis
will decrease perifocal edema formed in the injured
site minimizing tissue necrosis and subsequent
scarring. But this is effective only when ozone is
administered within the first 24 to 48 hours. In
Germany, many ambulances are equipped with ozone and
it is injected intravenously in patients who have
just suffered stroke.
Ozone Acivates Immune System
It is well documented that ozone
can activate monocyte and lymphocytes, and induce
the production of an array of cytokines such as
interleukin, interferon, tumor-necrosis factor. (The
Journal of International Medical Research 1994) Its
ability to elicit endogenous production of cytokines
and its lack of toxicity make ozone an indispensible
therapeutic modality since today's most devastating
diseases are characterized by immunodepression such
as chronic viral diseases, cancer and AIDS. Of
course, restoration of the immune system depends on
a total approach of detoxification, lifestyle
modification and supportive therapies.
Means Of Administration
There are several ways to
administer ozone, depending upon the condition being
treated. Autohemotherapy, which invloves bland
treatment ex vivo of blood with ozone and prompt
reinfusion into the donor, is the most popular
procedure among German physicians. Other methods
include direct infusion of a gaseous ozone/oxygen
mixture either intravenously, or intra-arterially
(particularly in critical limbs ischemia). It has
been proven that even direct delivery of ozone into
the blood vessels has very low risk factors. No air
which contains nitrogen ever enters the body, so an
air embolus cannot occur. Colorectal insufflation of
ozone/oxygen, much like an enema, has been used to
treat colitis, fistula and colon cancer. Ozone is
also excellent for topical treatment of infected
wounds, ulcers and burns, especially those that are
difficult to heal.
Therapeutic Indication
The modern development of ozone
application in medicine began in th e1950's in
Europe and gradually spread throughout Europe to
Australia, Israel, Cuba, Brazil and Columbia. As far
back as WW I, ozone was used medically to treat
wounds and other infections. Over 5000 physicians
world-wide routinely use ozone in their medical
practice. I have personally used ozone in my own
practice and found it to be an effective therapy.
When it is incorporated into a holistic approach of
cleansing there is virtually no known side effect of
ozone treatment if it is applied properly. However,
since ozone therapy is dose-dependent, it should be
administered with supervision. Specific therapeutic
applications of ozone include the treatment of
vascular disease such as stroke, obstructive
arteriopathy, venous insufficiency, cancer, acute
and chronic viral disease, ulcers, infected wounds,
gangrenes, burns, inflammatory bowel disease such as
Krohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and spinal disc
problems. It is also used in dentistry as a
disinfectant and in pediatrics for the treatment of
viral and bacterial infections of the intestines. In
geriatrics, its principal indication is in
circulatory disorders. In particular the increase of
oxygen supply to the brain is of great benefit.
Ozone, with all its miraculous properties and
accompanied by it lack of toxicity, is undoubtedly
an important tool in medicine. It is an unusual
double-edged sword. It defends the body via its
stimulation of the immune system and at the same
time it improves oxygenation and metabolism. I do
believe that ozone deserves a place in the
management of health and disease. It is up to us,
patients and physicians, to demand access to this
wonderful healing substance.
Dr. Chow practises in Vancouver B.C., Canada
The growth of ozone therapy in America is impeded by
companies whose interests are threatened by this
powerful medical tool. Those doctors who decide to
try it confirm the lack of toxicity and benefits.
