Ozone and Health

 

Introduction
Through the action of lightning, nature produces ozone which has a purifying effect on our air. Ozone has a proven oxidizing, antiseptic and germicidal effect and has been used for these purposes for many years. Ozone (03) is electrified oxygen (O2) regardless of the technique used to manufacture it and is sometimes called triatomic, or polymeric oxygen. It is an allotropic form of oxygen and is the most active state is oxygen.

It has been observed to:

Inactivates viruses, bacteria, yeast fungi and protozoa
Stimulates the immune system
Supports and enhances the healing process
Cleans arteries and veins
Breaks up red blood cell clumping
Purifies the blood and the lymph
Normalizes hormone and enzyme production
Reduces inflammation
Reduces pain, calms nerves
Stops bleeding
Prevents shock
Scavenges free radicals
Prevents stroke damage
Reduces cardiac arrhythmia
Improves brain function, and memory
Oxidizes toxins, facilitating their elimination
Increases the amount of oxygen in the blood
Stimulates production of all protective cell enzymes
Prevents and reverses degenerative diseases
Prevents and treats communicable diseases
Prevents and eliminates auto-immune diseases

 

The therapeutic action of ozone is due to the oxygenation of the blood by the loose molecules (“free radicals”) of oxygen in ozone. It is carried to the various organs and tissues of the body and absorbed, thus oxidizing the waste, and facilitating their elimination. In other words, Ozone increases the metabolism without the expenditure of vital energy.


INFECTION THEORIES CONTRASTED GERM THEORY

Disease arises from micro-organisms originating outside the body.
Micro-organisms should be guarded against and destroyed to prevent disease.
The appearance and function of specific microorganisms is constant.
Every disease is associated with a particular microorganism.
Micro-organisms are primary causal agents.
Disease is inevitable and can 'strike' anybody.
To prevent and cure diseases, it is necessary to 'build defenses' and to destroy pathogenic micro-organisms.

TOXICITY THEORY

The suceptibilty to disease arises from conditions within the cells of the body.
Micro-organisms are beneficial and life-sustaining if the body is kept clean from toxins.
The appearance and function of specific micro-organisms micro- organisms changes when the host organism is injured, either mechanically, biochemically, or emotionally.
Every disease is associated with a particular particular condition.
Micro-organisms become associated with disease only when the cells become toxified.
Disease arises from conditions of increased toxicity.
Preventing or curing disease consists of cleaning toxicity from the body in a way that does no harm.

Ozone was discovered by Schonbein in 1840 and has been used to purify water and treat patients for more than 160 years. Some major cities in Europe have used ozone to purify the municipal water supply since the turn of the century. The Los Angeles municipal water treatment facility uses ozone, and is the largest in the world. Most swimming pools in Europe use ozone rather than chlorine (Chlorine gas is a WMD) to purify water. It has been known for at least 100 years that ozone is highly germicidal in that it will almost instantly kill virtually all viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, molds, cancer, etc. It is known to oxidize just about all manmade chemicals.

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.


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.


False Information On Ozone

Recently the FDA, and other such suppressive organizations have been trying to destroy the beneficial and life sustaining qualities of ozone by telling the public that ozone is toxic and harms the body. For example, Ozone has been blamed for smog. Carbon monoxide, a deadly poison, is present in smog at about 3000 parts per hundred million. Toxic hydrocarbons are present in smog at about 100 parts per hundred million. Ozone is present in smog only briefly at around 25 parts per hundred million. Ozone has a half life of about 20 minutes.

Ozone in smog is produced by the effect of the sun's energetic photons acting on polluting gases. Single molecules of oxygen are broken off these gases momentarily, but in seconds it reattaches itself to the other gases, which is part of nature's system for cleaning the atmosphere.

The problem is not one of too much ozone in smog, but not enough ozone in the smog . If sufficient amounts existed, the pollutants would all be oxidized and rendered harmless.

Ozone is easy to measure, so they use this deceitful tactic to smear the name of ozone. Carbon monoxide is a proven killer. Ozone is a proven health enhancer

My wife had 16 tumors throughout her body, in her intestines,
liver, and breast. All the doctors said there was nothing they could
do and that she had 6-12 months. My wife found a new experimental chemo treatment that "had a 80% cure rate". She did the chemo for 9 months and it was killing her. The doctor said her system was starting to shut down. I had been looking at alternative treatments from various sources & doing research on my own & found ozone. We didn't want to try it because of what the EPA & everyone else said about it, but since her system was starting to shut down, what did we have to lose? We drank ozonated water & ran the machine in the bedroom while we slept every night, and also did juicing while she continued with the chemo. Within 3 months she was cancer free.
Now if that isn't enough, a year and a half later when she went in
for her check up to see if she was still cancer free, they said she
had two more tumors. One on the bile duct & one in her intestines
again. The doctor told her they couldn't give her any more chemo &
there was NOTHING they could do this time. We had slacked off on the ozone for several months so we decided to flood our bodies with ozone again.
Guess what? Within about 3 months the tumors were gone again. This time all we did was the ozonated water, & juicing. The doctor couldn't believe it& sent the tests out to 4 other doctors & they all said there was no cancer. He said they should hire me.
By the way my wife is the only one out of 54 who is still alive from
the group that was given that chemo. Like they say I think they play
with the numbers a little.
Also I have cured athletes foot, a rash or something like that on
my head, and removed age spots with ozone.
I just want everyone possible to know what ozone can do. It really
works!

Side Effects and Toxicity



Now the way ozone kills cancer is the same way it kills the above-mentioned organisms. It was proven in the 40's by Otto Warburg that cancer sets in when the amount of oxygen normally in the body lowers by 40%, and the cells start using sugar for power instead of oxygen.

OZONE and BIRD FLU VIRUS

Viruses have no protections against oxidative stress. Normal mammalian cells, on the other hand possess complex systems of enzymes (i.e., superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase), which tend to ward off the nefarious effects of free radical species and oxidative challenge. It may thus be possible to treat infected tissues with ozone, respecting the homeostasis derived from their natural defenses, while neutralizing offending and attacking pathogen devoid of similar defenses.

The Effects of Ozone on Pathogens,

OZONE EFFECTS ON Specific BACTERIA, VIRUSES AND MOLDS


Bacteria are microscopically small, single-cell creatures having a primitive structure. The bacteria body is sealed by a relatively solid-cell membrane. Ozone interferes with the metabolism of bacterium-cells, most likely through inhibiting and blocking the operation of the enzymatic control system. A sufficient amount of ozone breaks through the cell membrane, and this leads to the destruction of the bacteria.

Viruses are small, independent particles, built of crystals and macromolecules, Unlike bacteria, they multiply only within the host cell. They transform protein of the host cell into proteins of their own. Ozone destroys viruses by diffusing through the protein coat into the nucleic acid core, resulting in damage of the viral RNA. At higher concentrations, ozone destroys the capsid, or exterior protein shell by oxidation so DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), or RNA (ribonucleic acid) structures of the microorganism are affected.

The antipathogenic effects of ozone have been substantiated for several decades. Its killing action upon bacteria, viruses, fungi, and in many species of protozoa, serve as the basis for its increasing use in disinfecting municipal water supplies in cities worldwide

OZONE EFFECTS ON Specific BACTERIA, VIRUSES AND MOLDS

Numerous families of viruses including poliovirus I and 2, human rotavruses, Norwalk virus, Parvoviruses, and Hepatitis A, B and non-A non-B©, among many others, are susceptible to the virucidal actions of ozone

Protozoan organisms disrupted by ozone include Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and free-living amoebas, namely Acanthamoeba, Hartmonella, and Negleria. The anit-protozoal action has yet to be elucidated.

A Brief history of medical ozone

 

SUPER OXYGENATION 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.

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.


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 the 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.

The Story of Ozone

Rectal insufflation

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 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 in fact. The gas will usually find 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.


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. . 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.

 

 

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.


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 care. 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.
