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.

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 will 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 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.
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 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.
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 communicable
diseases prevents and eliminates auto-immune diseases.
HOW DOES OZONE WORK?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 musunderstanding 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. Back To Contents
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. Back To Contents
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 for 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 one 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
toxic properties 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 measurable 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 dementia, 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, undoubtably 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 powerful, 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 o 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:
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.
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:
Ozone removes unwanted bacteria and viruses from the blood, the same way it
does with water.
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.
Ozone is highly effective in peripheral vascular disease.
Ozone is effective in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, arteriosclerosis
and hypercholesterolemia, and promptly restores circulation, relieves angina
pain and improves brain function.
With ozone cancerous tumors, lymphomas and leukemia may be eliminated without
the use of surgery, radiation or chemotherapy.
Ozone is highly effective for all forms of rheumatoid and arthritis collagen
diseases.
Ozone is very effective for allergies of all types.
Ozone improves multiple sclerosis, and other neurological diseases, senility,
as well as in Parkinson's disease.
External use of ozone is very effective in treating burns, acne, leg ulcers,
open cuts and wounds, aczema, fungus and other skin disorders.
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.
AIDS, herpes, hepatitis, mononucleosis, and cirrhosis of the liver have been
successfully treated with ozone.
The application of ozone is virtually painless, , has no adverse side effects
and is extremely cost-effective for both physicians and patients.
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 befoe now. In order to understand this, one has to
examime 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 healthe 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 deelop 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 theri resutls. 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 due 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:
Precise dosage.
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.
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.
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, indistinguishable 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, osteo-arthritis, Reiter
syndrome, psoriasis, synovitus, gout, chrondrocalcinosis, pyrophosphate arthropathy,
calcific peri-arthritis, calcific tendinitis, and calcinosis.
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.

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 able 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. Viruses, 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 (agammaglobulinemia)
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 the 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 would disappear, and the level of general health would rise to new
heights.
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.
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
the 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:
Plug the generator into the wall socket.
Connect an air line from the output of the oxygen tank regulator to the input
of the generator.
Connect an air line to the output of the generator and then to the appropriate
attachment (see below).
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 the desired concentration
of ozone (see your calibration chart).
Engage the power switch on the generator.
When finished, turn off the generator, turn off the oxygen tank, disconnect
the lines, and store in a safe place.
Drinking Water:
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.
Drink immediately on an empty stomach.
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:
Clean the bowel with an enema (ozonated water is preferrable).
Hook up the generator to the oxygen tank regulator as stated above, and connect
the rectal catheter.
Set the regulator flow rate to deliver 1/32 litres/minute.
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.
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.
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
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.
Often there is a burning sensation at first, and if it is too uncomfortable,
stop and try again the next day.
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:
Hook up the generator to the oxygen tank and regulator as above.
Insert the end of the air line carefully into the ear.
Set the regulator to deliver 1/8 litre/minute and engage the power.
Do each ear for 1 minute the first time, two minutes the second, three minutes
the third, etc.
Sinus draining may be profuse. Do not do more than four days in a row.

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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 be 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 oxidative 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.

The opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the sponsor.
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.
