 VARIOUS AUTHORS

Dr. Otto Warburg, "On The Origin of Cancer Cells,"
SCIENCE, (FEB. 24, 1956) Volume 123, Number 3191, pp. 309-314.

Professor Warburg was director of the Max Planck Institute for Cell Physiology, Berlin-Dahlem, Germany. This article is based on a lecture delivered at Stuttgart on 25 May 1955 before the German Central Committee for Cancer Control.

The era in which the fermentation of the cancer cells or its importance in carcinogenesis could be disputed is over, and no one today can doubt that we understand the origin of cancer cells from damaged respiration and the excessive fermentation of cancer cells.

We now understand the chemical mechanism of respiration and fermentation almost completely. We know that cancer cells can obtain approximately the same amount of energy from fermentation as from respiration, whereas the normal body cells obtain much more energy from respiration than from fermentation. For example, the liver and the kidney of an adult animal obtain about 100 times as much energy from respiration as from fermentation.

Injuring of Respiration

Since the respiration of all cancer cells is damaged, the question is, ‘How can the respiration of body cells be injured?’ Of this damage to respiration, it can be said at the outset that it must be irreversible, since the respiration of cancer cells can never return to normal. Second, the injury to respiration must not be so great that the cells are killed, for then no cancer cells could result.

One method for the destruction of the respiration of body cells is removal of oxygen. If, for example, embryos are exposed to an oxygen deficiency for some hours and then placed in oxygen again, 50 percent more or more of the respiration in destroyed. The cause of this destruction of respiration is lack of energy. The cells need their respiratory energy to preserve their structure, and if respiration is inhibited, both structure and respiration disappear.

Another method for destroying respiration is respiratory poisons. From the standpoint of energy, this method comes to the same result as the first method. No matter whether oxygen is withdrawn from the cell or whether the oxygen is prevented from reacting in the cell by a poison, the result is the same in both cases - namely, impairment of respiration from lack of energy. The first notable experimental induction of cancer by oxygen deficiency was described by Goldblatt and Cameron (3), who exposed heart fibroblasts in tissue culture to intermittent oxygen deficiency for long periods and finally obtained transplantable cancer cells. Clinical experiences along these lines are innumerable: the production of cancer by intermittent irritation of the outer skin and of the mucosa of internal organs, by the plugging of the excretory ducts of glands, by cirrhoses of tissues, and so forth. In all these cases, the intermittent irritations lead to intermittent circulatory disturbances. Probably chronic intermittent oxygen deficiency plays a greater role in the formation of cancer in the body than does the chronic administration of respiratory poisons.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any respiratory injury due to lack of energy, however, whether it is produced by oxygen deficiency or by respiratory poisons, must be cumulative, since it is irreversible. Frequent small doses of respiratory poisons are therefore more dangerous than a single large dose, where there is always the chance that the cells will be killed rather than that they will become carcinogenic. If an injury of respiration is to produce cancer, this injury must be irreversible. We understand by this not only that the inhibition of respiration remains after removal of the respiratory poison but, even more, that the inhibition of respiration also continues through all the following cell divisions, for measurements of metabolism in transplanted tumors have shown that cancer cells cannot regain normal respiration, even in the course of many decades, once they have lost it.

Increase of Fermentation

When the respiration of body cells has been irreversibly damaged, cancer cells by no means immediately result. For cancer formation there is necessary not only an irreversible damaging of the respiration but also an increase in the fermentation of great enough magnitude that it compensates energetically. But how does this increase of fermentation come about?
There is no physical or chemical agent with which the fermentation of cells in the body can be increased directly. For an increase in fermentation, a long time and a great many cell divisions are always necessary. The mysterious latency period of the production of cancer is, therefore nothing more than the time in which the fermentation increases after a damaging of the respiration due to oxygen deprivation. This time is long in man and often amounts to several decades, as can be determined by the cases in which the time of the respiratory damage is known -- for example, in cancer due to radiation.
The driving force of the increase of fermentation is the energy deficiency under which the cells operate after destruction of their respiration, which forces the cells to replace the lost respiration energy in some way. They are able to do this by a selective process that makes use of the fermentation by the normal body cells. The more weakly fermenting body cells perish, but the more strongly fermenting ones remain alive, and this selective process continues until the lowered energy level due to respiratory failure is compensated for by the increase in fermentation. Only then has a cancer cell resulted from the normal body cell.

Dedifferentiation

Why are the body cells dedifferentiated when their respiration energy is replaced by fermentation energy? At first, one would think that it is immaterial to the cells whether they obtain their energy from respiration or from fermentation, since the energy of both reactions is transformed into the energy of adenosine triphosphate, and ATP = ATP. This equation is certainly correct chemically and energetically, but it is incorrect morphologically, because the ATP synthesized by respiration involves more structure than the ATP synthesized by fermentation.
It is as if one exposed the same amount of silver on a photographic plate with the same amount of light, but in one case with diffused light and in the other with patterned light. In the first case, a diffuse blackening appears on the plate, but in the second case, a picture appears; however, the same thing happens chemically and energetically in both cases. Just as one type of light energy involves more structure than the other type, the adenosine triphosphate energy involves more structure when it is formed by respiration than it does when it is formed by fermentation.
It has been known for a long time that fermentation -- the energy supplying reaction of the lower organisms -- is morphologically inferior to respiration. Not even yeast, which is one of the lowest forms of life, can maintain its structure permanently by fermentation alone; it degenerates to bizarre forms. However, as Pasteur showed in 1876, it is rejuvenated in a wonderful manner, if it comes in contact with oxygen for a short time. The explanation is the strong connection of respiration with structure and the weak connection of fermentation with structure.
This, therefore, is the physiochemical explanation of the dedifferentiation of cancer cells. If the structure of yeast cannot be maintained by fermentation alone, one need not wonder that highly differentiated body cells lose their differentiation upon continuous replacement of their respiration with fermentation.
When one irradiates a tissue that contains cancer cells as well as normal cells, the respiration of the cancer cells, already too low, will decline further. If the respiration falls below a certain minimum that the cells need unconditionally, despite their increased fermentation, they die; whereas the normal cells, where respiration may be harmed by the same amount, will survive because, with a greater initial respiration, they will still possess a higher residual respiration after irradiation. This explains the selective killing action of x-rays on cancer cells. But the descendants of the surviving normal cells may, in the course of time, compensate for the decrease of respiration by the increase of fermentation and, thence, become cancer cells. Thus it happens that radiation which kills cancer cells can also at the same time produce cancer.

Sleeping Cancer Cells

Since the increase in fermentation in the development of cancer cells takes place gradually, there must be a transitional phase between normal body cells and fully formed cancer cells. Thus, for example, when fermentation has become so great that dedifferentiation has commenced, but not so great that the respiration defect has been fully compensated for energetically by fermentation, we may have cells which indeed look like cancer cells but are still energetically insufficient. Such cells, which are clinically not cancer cells, have lately been found, not only in the prostate, but also in the lungs, kidney, and stomach of elderly persons. Such cells have been referred to as "sleeping cancer cells."

Aerobic Fermentation

Aerobic fermentation is a property of growing cancer cells, but aerobic fermentation without growth is a property of all damaged body cells - for example, embryos that have been transferred from amniotic fluid to Ringer's solution. Since it is always easy to detect aerobic fermentation but generally difficult to detect growth of body cells, aerobic fermentation should not be used as a test for cancer cells, as I made clear in 1928.

Summary

Cancer cells originate from normal body cells in two phases. The first phase is the irreversible injuring of respiration. There are a great many secondary causes of cancer -- tar, X-rays, arsenic, urethane -- but there is only one common cause into which all other causes of cancer merge, the irreversible injuring of respiration.

The irreversible injuring of respiration is followed, as the second phase of cancer formation, by a long struggle for existence by the injured cells to maintain their structure, in which a part of the cells perish from lack of energy, while another part succeeds in replacing the lost respiration energy by fermentation energy. Because of the morphological inferiority of fermentation energy, the highly differentiated body cells are converted by this into undifferentiated cells that grow wildly -- the cancer cells.

The other theories of cancer origin (mutation and carcinogen) are not viable alternatives, but empty words. Even more harmful in the struggle against cancer is the continual uncovering of miscellaneous cancer agents and cancer viruses, which, by obscuring the true cause, lack of oxygen, may hinder necessary preventive measures and thereby become responsible for cancer cases.

THE FREE RADICAL THEORY - Dr. Deepak Chopra


In the 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 supposedly 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. In the immune system, 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, glutathione peroxidase 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 would 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, in 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 only 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.

FREE RADICALS, OZONE AND ANTIOXIDANTS - Dr. Horst Kief

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.
It is 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 problems of Vitamin A deficiency.
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 75 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 protection. These enzymes are catalase, reductase, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase. In healthy cells, these enzymes prevent cell damage from free radicals. When cellular health declines due to toxic buildup, and enzyme production declines, free radicals are able to 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 are Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin A and beta carotene, and selenium.

OXIDATION: THE KEY TO CANCER AND DEGENERATIVE DISEASE - Dr. George Freibott

What is oxidation? A substance undergoes oxidation if it loses electrons, loses hydrogen, or gains oxygen. When oxygen is combined with sugar in the cell, ATP is formed and water and carbon dioxide are the waste products. This process of oxidation occurs constantly in the cells. Without this process taking place, life would cease very, very quickly. We take in oxygen, through our respiratory exchanges, and dispose of body effete, also referred to as ‘toxins’. Our blood has the function of picking up crucial oxygen from the lungs, transporting it to the cells, and disposing of toxins formed there.

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 unpaired, freely bonding electron sub-units able to combine with 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, and that are not scavenged by enzymes because of toxic buildup, that are 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 and oxygenation.

Harmful free radicals come from :
- smoking
- constipation
- trans fatty acids and rancid oils
- carbon monoxide
- nitrosamines (chemical food additives)
- radiation (such as X-rays)
- chlorinated water
- heavy metals

OXIDATION - Dr. William Turska, 1951

Health is dependent almost entirely upon a pure, healthy blood and good systemic circulation. Every organ, nerve, tissue and cell depends on vital blood flow and clean lymph, 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 gastrointestinal 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 when used in raw form, it was abandoned from the therapeutic calendar except in a few instances. The therapeutic abilities of ozone were in evidence, but the manner of application would not allow ease of use or 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 (especially aspirin) 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.

Thirteen Major Effects of Ozone On The Human Body

Dr. Frank Shallenberger

1. Ozone stimulates the production of white blood cells. These cells protect the body from viruses, bacteria, fungi and cancer. Deprived of oxygen, these cells malfunction. They fail to eliminate invaders and even turn against normal, healthy cells (allergic reactions). Ozone significantly raises the oxygen levels in the blood for long periods after ozone administration; as a result, allergies have a tendency to become desensitized.

2. Interferon levels are significantly increased. Interferons are globular proteins that orchestrate every aspect of the immune system. Some interferons are produced by cells infected by viruses. These interferons warn adjacent, healthy cells of the likelihood of infection; in turn, they are rendered nonpermissive host cells, inhibiting viral replication. Other interferons are produced in the muscles, connective tissue and by white blood cells. Levels of gamma interferon can be elevated 400-900% by ozone. This interferon is involved in the control of phagocytic cells that engulf and kill pathogens and abnormal cells. Synthetic interferons are FDA approved for the treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B and C, Genital Warts (caused by Papilloma virus, Hairy-cell Leukemia, Kaposi's Sarcoma, Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis and Chronic Granulomatous Disease. Interferons are currently in clinical trials for Throat Warts (caused by Papilloma virus), HIV infection, Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Leukemia, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, Colon tumors, Kidney tumors, Bladder Cancer, Malignant Melanoma, Basal Cell Carcinoma and Leishmaniasis. While levels induced by ozone remain safe, interferon levels that are FDA-approved (and in clinical trials) are extremely toxic.

3. Ozone stimulates the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor. TNF is produced by the body when a tumor is growing. The greater the mass of the tumor the more tumor necrosis factor is produced (up to a point). When a tumor has turned metastatic, cancer cells are breaking off and being carried away by the blood and lymph, allowing the tumor to take up residence elsewhere in the body. These lone cancer cells have little chance of growing due to the TNF produced to inhibit the original tumor. When the tumor is removed surgically TNF levels drop dramatically and new tumors emerge from seemingly healthy tissue.

4. Ozone stimulates the secretion of IL-2. Interleukin-2 is one of the cornerstones of the immune system, secreted by T-helpers. In a process known as autostimulation, the IL-2 then binds to a receptor on the T-helper and causes it to produce more IL-2. Its main duty is to induce lymphocytes to differentiate and proliferate, yielding more T-helpers, T-suppressors, cytotoxic T's, T-delayeds and T-memory cells.

5. Ozone kills most bacteria at low concentrations. The metabolism of most bacteria is on average one-seventeenth as efficient as our own. Because of this, most cannot afford to produce disposable anti-oxidant enzymes such as catalase. Very few types of bacteria can live in an environment composed of more than two percent ozone.

6. Ozone is effective against all types of fungi. This includes systemic Candida albicans, athlete’s foot, molds, mildews, yeasts and even mushrooms.

7. Ozone is the best virucide. As discussed above, ozone goes after the viral particles directly. The part of the virus most sensitive to oxidation is the "reproductive structure". This is how the virons enter the cell. With this structure inactivated, the virus is essentially "dead". Cells already infected have a natural weakness to ozone. Due to the metabolic burden of the infection the cells can no longer produce the protective enzymes necessary to deal with the ozone and repair the cell.

8. Ozone is antineoplastic. This means that ozone inhibits the growth of new tissue because rapidly dividing cells shift their priorities away from producing the enzymes needed to protect themselves from the ozone. Cancer cells are rapidly dividing cells and are thus inhibited by ozone.

9. Ozone oxidizes arterial plaque. It breaks down the plaque involved in both Arteriosclerosis and Atherosclerosis. This means ozone has a tendency to clear blockages of small and even large vessels. This allows for better tissue oxygenation in deficient organs.

10. Ozone increases the flexibility and elasticity of red blood cells. When one views a red blood cell under a microscope, it looks like a disc. In the capillaries, where they pick-up (lungs) and release (tissue) oxygen, these discs stretch out into the shape of an oval or umbrella. This aids their passage through the tiny capillaries and makes the exchange of gas more efficient. The increase in flexibility of the RBC's allows oxygen levels to stay elevated for days, or even weeks after treatment with ozone.

11. Ozone accelerates the Citric Acid Cycle. Also known as the Kreb's Cycle or TCA Cycle, this is a very important step in the glycolysis of carbohydrate for energy. This takes place in the mitochondria of the cell. Most of the energy stored in glucose (sugar) is converted in this pathway.

12. Ozone makes the anti-oxidant enzyme system more efficient. Cells respond to the beneficial oxidative stress by increasing their production of the protective enzymes.

13. Ozone breaks down petrochemicals. These chemicals have a potential to place a great burden on the immune system. They also worsen and even cause allergies and are detrimental to your long-term health.

OZONE THERAPY - Fritz Schellander

The different modes of action of ozone on a living organism are now well understood. The production of peroxides is responsible for the remarkable bactericidal 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 with improved glycolysis in red blood cells through the abolition of harmful red blood cell stacking (rouleaux). 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, undoubtedly new techniques will enlarge the scope of the effective use of this versatile modality.

 

OZONE: ITS THERAPEUTIC ACTION - Dr. George Freibott

In 1740 Schonbein discovered ozone, and in 1891 the molecular composition was modeled. Observation soon revealed that ozone reacted with and destroyed bacteria and other organisms. Nikola Tesla began one of the first ozone companies, in 1900. Ozone was widely used by many American doctors.
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 bactericide 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 silicone tubing overcame this problem.
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 simultaneously oxidizing 99.9992% of all water-borne pollutants.

Through the action of the flashes of lightning, and the photochemical reaction of the UV light of the sun on atmospheric 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. For years physicians around the world have used ozone for bringing palliative and curative results to many, many individuals. Special stress should be laid on the fact that ozone is a NATURAL remedy.
Through the respiratory system, sufficient oxygen is carried to the cells of the body to combine with the carbon and hydrogen in sugar, creating ATP and heat, and the oxidized waste products CO2 and water. Heat is continually being generated through this union of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, maintaining normal body temperature (98.6 F). 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. The organs perform their functions properly, wastes are eliminated 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 cell, 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, and the body temperature is reduced below normal. The system becomes acidic and is rendered incapable of resisting the influences of 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 inadequate oxidation. 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 clinical thermometer is the best means of determining the existence of under-oxygenation and should be used routinely. The temperature of one who is under-oxygenated will be found to run from a fraction to several degrees below normal. The way to counteract this situation is to restore the oxidative process.

The symptoms or conditions that 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.
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 exhilaration. 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.
In 1928, Dr. Otto Warburg discovered the cause of cancer by demonstrating that when the level of oxygen available to the cell drops below 40% of normal, the cell, in order to survive, begins to ferment its sugar anerobically. The waste products, lactic acid and carbon monoxide are acidic. T-cells secrete enzyme growth factors in response to the acidity around the cell, and the cell is stimulated to make copies of itself wildly. This growth of cancerous cells, based on fermentation, can be initiated only in the relative absence of oxygen.
Oncologists since that time 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 1952, they have done very little follow up work, although huge amounts of money have been spent pursuing different drug treatments. The reluctance of US authorities to investigate ozone’s therapeutic abilities since then has condemned many millions of American citizens (over 500,000 per year) to a painful, needless death.
The Sixth World Ozone Conference held in Washington D.C. during May, 1982, produced many astounding papers on the medical uses of ozone. They ran the full gamut of topics from cancer to herpes to rheumatoid arthritis, written by the world's recognized specialists in their fields. These papers concluded that:

1. Ozone removes unwanted bacteria and viruses from the blood, the same way it does with water.

2. The possibility of becoming infected with hepatitis, HIV, syphilis or other infectious diseases through blood transfusion could be eliminated by the use of ozone.

3. Ozone is highly effective in peripheral vascular disease.

4. Ozone is effective in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, arteriosclerosis and hyper-cholesterolemia, and promptly restores circulation, relieves angina pain and improves brain function.

5. With ozone, cancerous tumors, lymphomas and leukemia may be eliminated without the use of surgery, radiation or chemotherapy.

6. Ozone is highly effective for all forms of rheumatoid and arthritis collagen diseases.

7. Ozone is very effective for allergies of all types.

8. Ozone improves multiple sclerosis, and other neurological diseases, senility, as well as in Parkinson's disease.

9. External use of ozone is very effective in treating burns, acne, leg ulcers, open cuts and wounds, eczema, fungus and other skin disorders.

10. Rectal insufflation with ozone is effective for proctitis, colitis, prostatitis and fissure; vaginal insufflation is effective for candidiasis and other yeast infections, trichomoniasis and other forms of vaginitis; bladder insufflation is effective for cystitis and bladder fistulas, as well as cancer.

11. AIDS, herpes, hepatitis, mononucleosis, and cirrhosis of the liver have been successfully treated with ozone.

12. The application of ozone is virtually painless, has no adverse side effects and is extremely cost-effective for both physicians and patients.

13. As of 2000, eighteen countries allow the use of ozone therapy, and thirteen US states. In a study in Germany, with over 12 million treatments, there were only four deaths reported, with only 40 persons having side effects.

Most people are puzzled as to why something with this potential is not being used widely in the United States. In order to understand this, one has to examine how medicine has evolved over the past 100 years on two continents, Europe and America.

In the late 1800's, the way medicine was practiced in both areas was very similar, though quite diverse. Doctors on both continents were taught many different techniques of healing including herbal medicine, potions, manipulations, diets, purges, colonics, ozone therapy, 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 the sulfa drugs, insulin and penicillin in the 1930's. In close conjunction with the rise in power of the drug companies was the increasing power of the AMA and the closer policing of all medical therapies by the FDA, along with the development of the health insurance system. Today's American doctors get practically no training in therapies other than drugs or surgery and are discouraged from practicing any alternative therapies. On the other hand the European system nurtured diversity, in which pharmaceutical development, as well as alternative treatments, were encouraged. This is how ozone, as a medical treatment, was allowed to develop in Europe, but was suppressed in the United States after 1933.

Ozone itself is not patentable, although ozone generators are. Thus, there is little money to be made from its research and development as a treatment, since it cannot be completely 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 two decades, many physicians in this country have been prompted to study the work done by clinicians in Germany and attempt to duplicate their results. The FDA actively persecutes doctors who use this efficacious therapy, even though drug treatments have been worse than useless. FDA persecution has also driven out all American manufacturers of medical ozone generators.

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 quantities (.001-.003 ppm) which we breathe in. It does not become an irritant until levels above .1 ppm are exceeded 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 created from, and 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, and usually much less, as it tirelessly eats up the hydrocarbon pollution by oxidizing it. The harmful constituents of smog: carbon monoxide, benzene, chlorides, sulphur dioxide, and nitric oxide 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 bactericidal and virucidal 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 1870, and is presently employed in 24 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, since 1933, 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 fourteen states, Alaska, Washington, Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Nevada, North Carolina, New York, Texas, Georgia, Ohio, Minnesota, Florida and California, physicians are now able to employ any therapeutic technique, including ozone, without fear of persecution. In Dr. H.E. Sartori's recent book, the multiple uses of ozone for human health, dentistry, animal health and industrial uses are well covered. Tragically, Dr. Sartori himself was recently jailed for administering ozone in Virginia.

There are three technologies utilized for the generation of ozone:

  • Ultraviolet light
  • Corona discharge
  • Cold plasma.

Ultraviolet light in the 180-190 nanometer wavelength generates ozone from ambient air without producing nitric oxide compounds. But UV cannot generate the concentrations necessary for medical 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. UV lamps degrade quickly and are expensive to replace.
Corona discharge generates high concentrations of ozone, up to 150 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 dual dielectric, used for medical purposes, but long term reliability is again problematic, due to shorting from the cathode to the metal anode.

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 Tesla generators of the 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.

BETTER BLOOD STERILIZATION WITH OZONE - Supply and Services Canada R&D Bulletin - Science and Technology; No.234, Sept. 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 investigating 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 that have been patented by Medizone and Mueller Medical. These 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. 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 (approved 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 International 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 lipoprotein 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 DNA
  • oxidation of the essential cation cofactor of the transcriptase, and
  • 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 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 quite possible 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 of the serious problems that arise.

There are hundreds of known biochemical reactions in the body that 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.


INTERESTING MEDICAL OZONE FACTS - Dr. H.E. Sartori, MD

Ozone has been used in Germany since the 1870's to disinfect blood and has been found effective in eliminating transmission of hepatitis, syphilis, and most recently, HIV. The most common method of ozone administration in Germany has been major autohemotherapy. However, intravenous ozone therapy has been used since the early 1980s.

The main advantages of intravenous are:

1. Precise dosage.

2. Consistently better results compared with autohemotherapy. Direct IV application produces much better results and requires fewer applications. This is particularly apparent in patients with lung cancer, allergies, and AIDS.

3. Prompt elimination of any allergic components contributing to cancer formation and virtually all other degenerative diseases, all vascular diseases, immune diseases, and allergies of all types. This effect is much more consistent than with autohemotherapy. The same applies to removal viruses, bacteria, and fungi that may also be adjunctive factors for cancer and other degenerative diseases. Direct intravenous ozone consistently removes unwanted antibodies from the bloodstream.

4. Clean application of the ozone with simple syringes without the requirement of using disposable bottles and other equipment that could be contaminated.

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), ozonides, carbonyls, alkanes and alkenes.

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.

OZONE AND DISEASES

  • 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, Cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex, pneumonia, tuberculosis, endocardiosis, 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 sustained 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 encephalitis, 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 influenza, parainfluenza, 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 simplex 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/pericarditis and myalgia.
  • Viral diarrheas caused by rotavirus, Norwalk agent, astrovirus, and corona virus respond well to rectal ozone applications.
  • Chlamydia, 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, hypotension, 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 depressed immune system. Specifically, ozone enhances the formation and function of T- lymphocytes, the production of cytokines, such as interleukin, interferon, tumor necrosis factor, lymphotoxin, granulocyte and macrophage colony-stimulating factors and cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor. Interleukin-2 is the most important T-cell derived 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 immunosuppression and wound infection.
  • Ozone is particularly effective against bacterial pneumonia, fungal infections, coccidioidomyosis, candidiasis, cryptococcosis, pulmonary aspergillus, septicemia and zygomycosis.

  • 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, senile dementia, and cerebral atrophy.

“Inactivation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 by Ozone in Vitro”
- by J. Latino, K.H. Wells, J. Gavalchin, and B. J. Polesz.
excerpted from “BLOOD, the Journal of the American Society of Hematology”,
Vol. 78, No.7, October 1, 1991:

“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.”

 

“Ozone Selectively Inhibits Growth of Human Cancer Cells” - by Dr. F. Sweet, et al, excerpted from the journal
“SCIENCE”, Vol. 209, August 22, 1980: 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 fibroblasts served 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.”

OZONE AND ITS USE IN MEDICAL THERAPY - Dr. Robert Willner

Ozone therapy is one of the most powerful and versatile therapies known today. Extensive medical research on ozone therapy has been done primarily in Europe. Through its mechanism of action, ozone has beneficial effects on every part of the body. The effects include:
1. Inactivation of bacteria, viruses and fungi: Ozone disrupts the integrity of the bacterial cell envelope through peroxidation of the phospholipids and lipoproteins. In fungi, ozone inhibits cell growth at certain stages. With viruses, the ozone oxidizes the viral capsid and disrupts the reproductive cycle by interrupting the virus-to-cell contact with peroxidation. Cells previously infected by viruses are more susceptible to destruction by the peroxide produced through ozonolysis, because they have weak enzyme coatings.
2. Enhancement of circulation: In circulatory disease, a clumping of red blood cells hinders blood flow and decreases oxygen absorption due to reduced surface area. There is a decrease in red blood cell flexibility which prevents them traveling down the tiniest capillaries, and blood viscosity increases. With ozone therapy, clumping is reduced or eliminated and 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 vessels.
3. Stimulation of oxygen metabolism: Ozone causes an increase in the red blood cell glycolysis rate. This leads to the stimulation of 2.3-diphosphoglycerate which shifts the oxyhemoglobin disassociation curve to the right. This leads to an increase in the amount of oxygen released to the surrounding tissues. There is a stimulation of the production of the enzymes which act as free radical scavengers and cell wall protectors: glutathione peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase. Ozone activates the Krebs cycle by enhancing oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, stimulating production of ATP.
4. Dissolution of malignant tumors: Malignant cells have an increased rate of glycolysis which leads to the production of more lactic acid. 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 glutathione peroxidase and catalase. Ozone is thus able to oxidize the outer lipid layer of malignant cells and destroy them through cell lysis.
5. Activation of the immune system: Ozone stimulates the production of gamma interferon and interleukin-2 in the body. From this there is a cascade of subsequent immunological reactions.
6. Formation of peroxides: Ozone reacts with the unsaturated fatty acids of the lipid layer in cellular membranes, forming hydro peroxides. Lipid peroxidation products include peroxyl radicals, vital for killer cell action.

OZONE AND THE FUTURE OF PREVENTION - Byrun F. Tylor

Ozone has recently become the treatment of choice by progressive doctors for serious diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and immune deficiencies. With a series of ozone injections, or ozone steam sauna treatments, coupled with exercise, dietary changes, emotional counseling, various cleanses and herbal remedies, great strides have been made in dealing with many of the most serious diseases.

Unfortunately, less attention has been paid to the use of ozone for prevention of diseases. However, the increasing financial instability of our Medicare system may soon force the issue. As Canada drifts closer to the American style system of user-pay, Canadians will increasingly consider preventive health measures in order to lower their own personal costs.

This is where ozone can help in the home. Taken on a regular basis in drinking water, in the ear, by insufflation, or in an ozone steam sauna, ozone safely cleanses bodily fluids of stored toxins, bacteria, yeasts, fungi and viruses. Cleaning the body in this way and keeping it clean over the years will go a long way towards optimizing health and preventing both degenerative diseases and also communicable diseases. This will end the need for vaccination and inoculation, with their appalling tendency to cause the diseases they were meant to prevent. There will also be no need for antibiotics and tranquilizers, with their damaging side effects and mixed results.

There will be no reason to fear epidemics of meningitis, fleas-eating strep bacteria, toxoplasmosis, hamburger disease, Ebola virus, Hanta virus, etc., that are trumpeted by the media. And, of course, no reason to pay any attention to the endless cancer scare stories.

In the future, it is our hope that ozone will routinely treat and prevent all of these diseases. When the public becomes aware of its power, then prevention will become the watchword, and the general health of Canadians will improve while costs plummet. This is the future of prevention.

WHAT’S THE STORY ON OZONE IN THE AIR? - Brenda Myers

Ozone is perhaps the most misunderstood component of the air we breathe. Ozone is nature’s purifier, and no amount of propaganda from vested interests can change that fact. Ozone is the best air cleaner available for ridding a home of mould, mildew, bacteria, odors and aerosol pollutants.

Indoor air pollution is a growing concern for many people. Untreated, recirculated air containing hydrocarbons, tobacco smoke, kerosene fumes, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, dust and mites is increasingly being blamed for health problems. Even small amounts of these pollutants will cause adverse effects if the duration of exposure is long enough.

In a series of studies published in 1976, the Soviet Department of Health established many important facts concerning the use of ozone in closed indoor environments. They found that after five months of continuous daily exposure to ozone levels of .015 ppb, symptoms of sick building syndrome vanished. Also, immune potential was increased, blood pressure readings improved, oxygen content in blood rose, and stress levels dropped. The overall effect was very close to that experienced by taking a brisk two hour walk in a park daily.

Additional Soviet studies by the Institute of Child and Adolescent Hygiene showed that injection of ozone into school HVAC systems had similarly positive results. In controlled tests, 69% of the students exposed to a level of .015 ppb ozone decreased the amount of time required to complete tasks requiring high levels of concentration. In addition, researchers observed favorable changes in the functions of external respiration, increases in mental reserve capacity and overall increases in the children’s state of health.

It is important to keep your home free of hazardous aerosol pollutants. Small amounts of ozone are extremely effective at purifying and revitalizing indoor air. Filtration in combination with ozonation is an even more efficacious route to take, albeit more expensive, and requiring more periodic maintenance.

CONTEMPORARY OZONE APPLICATIONS - Dr. Kurt Donsbach

In order to appreciate ozone one must first understand fully the critical role that oxygen plays. 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 that 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 anti-oxidant enzymes in the cell 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 mitochondrial 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 gastroenteric 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.

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.

Another method of getting ozone into the body is with the use of a closed, one-person steam sauna. Since the pores will be open in the moist heat, ozone can be easily absorbed in large amounts through the skin very safely.

The use of ozone for medical therapy is well-established and is being vigorously pursued by many enlightened clinicians. It has an excellent safety record and no toxic side effects have been observed in millions of treatments over nearly 100 years. As technology develops, new techniques will undoubtedly emerge that will enlarge the scope of the effective use of this healing modality.

CALCIUM, VITAMIN D and CANCER - Dr. K.W. Donsbach, DC, ND, PhD

Calcium is primarily deposited in the hard tissue structures of the body, namely the bones and the teeth, which contain over 1,000,000 mg of calcium. A considerable amount of calcium is also found in the lymphatic tissue, between the cells. Only 200 mg of the body’s total calcium is found in the blood stream. But this minute amount is so important for life that elaborate measures are taken to make sure that it is always present, for calcium is used to fire the muscles, including the heart.

Calcium requires vitamin D in order to be absorbed through the wall of the intestine. When the level of calcium in the blood drops, extra Vitamin D is mobilized in the kidneys and rushed to the abdominal wall to pull more calcium into the blood stream. If there is insufficient Vitamin D available to ensure calcium can be obtained by absorption, the parathyroid gland kicks in with the hormone (PTH) message to the bones and teeth to give up calcium for the blood.

The overwhelming majority of non-bone calcium is in the extra-cellular fluid at a ratio of 10,000:1 (with the 1 being inside the cell). This ratio is so critical that even small calcium level variations in the cell will produce gross changes, such as abnormal movement of the cell, extra-excitability of the cell, and worst of all, abnormal cell division.

An inadequate intake of calcium, which could result from dietary deficiency of either calcium or Vitamin D, will cause the parathyroids to signal the bones to give up calcium. Now comes what is referred to as the “calcium paradox”. The extra amounts of calcium which flood out of the bone when stimulated by PTH often overshoot the amount needed by the blood. An excess of calcium in the blood is just as serious a threat to life as too little. Therefore, when the normal calcium level is reached, any excess is quickly deposited in soft tissues such as the lining of arteries (arteriosclerosis); brain tissue (premature senility); and into joints (arthritis).

But it is the disturbance of the delicate balance of calcium inside and outside the cell that really produces problems. When even a tiny amount of excess calcium enters a cell and changes the 10,000:1 outside:inside ratio, the cell’s “imbalance of calcium” signal erupts, which can create a life-threatening disease, called cancer.

OZONE IN CUBA - Nathaniel Altman

Since 1985, Cuban physicians and chemists have carried out the most extensive laboratory and clinical studies of medical ozone in the world, making Cuba the world leader in medical ozone therapy. Despite severely limited resources, Cuban scientists have accumulated an impressive amount of scientific and clinical data about medical ozone, and have reported their findings at both regional and international medical conferences, most recently in Havana in March, 1997.
This research has been carried out under the auspices of the Department of Ozone, a branch of the National Center for Scientific Research in Havana. Physicians are actively using ozone in clinics and hospitals as part of the National Program for Ozone Therapy. Between 1985 and 1994, over 25,000 Cuban patients were treated in medical institutions throughout the country, as well as many foreigners. During 1994, the Department of Ozone relocated to a spacious new facility in south Havana.

Cuban physicians currently use the following protocols:
1) Major autohemotherapy: angina, arthritis, cancer, heart disease, herpes, HIV
2) Rectal insufflation: for persons whose veins are too hard to find
3) Limb bagging: burns, fungus, gangrene, skin ulcers, wounds
4) Direct injection: circulatory problems, into joints for arthritis
5) Ozonated sunflower oil: acne, athlete’s foot, bee stings, bed sores, fistulae, fungus, gingivitis, hemorrhoids, herpes, vaginitis, dermatitis, ulcers, gastritis, giardia

Published studies carried out in Cuba include the following:

  • Arthrosis (1990) : 89% of 208 patients reported complete disappearance of pain
  • Atherosclerosis (1988) : 73% of 30 patients exhibited marked improvement
  • Athlete’s foot : 96% of 100 patients symptom-free in 10 days with ozonated olive oil
  • Burns : 25 patients received autohemotherapy. No infections or inflammation resulted.
  • Diabetes : 93% of 47 diabetics avoided surgery for ischemic legs
  • Duodenal ulcer : 80% of 20 patients were healed with ozonated water
  • Eye diseases : 85% of 40 patients with optic atrophy experienced marked improvement
  • Giardia : 92% of 50 patients treated with ozonated water were cured
  • Herpes zoster : 15 adults treated for one year were cured of symptoms
  • Hypercholesterolemia (1987) : In 22 patients, LDL cholesterol levels fell by 19.8%
  • Ischemic cerebro-vascular disease (1988): 88% of 120 patients had significant improvement
  • Osteoarthritis : 93% of 60 patients became symptom free after 10 weeks
  • Retinitis pigmentosa (1985): 89% of 200 patients improved for 2 years after treatment
  • Rheumatoid arthritis (1988):17 patients improved with intramuscular ozone injections
  • Senile dementia : 85% of 30 patients markedly improved with rectal insufflation
  • Sickle cell anemia (1989) : 30 patients had great improvement in their condition
  • Varicose ulcers : 120 patients were cured in 15 - 30 days

THE MIND BODY CONNECTION - Hanne Bom

Psychosomatic therapy (psyche = mind; soma = body) theorizes that there are psychological and emotional factors involved in both the onset and healing of cancer and other diseases.

One of the most recent studies on psychosomatic cancer therapy comes from Germany. Over the past ten years, medical doctor and cancer surgeon Ryke-Geerd Hamer has examined 20,000 cancer patients with all types of cancer.

Dr. Hamer wondered why cancer never seems to systematically spread directly from one organ to the surrounding tissue. For example, he never found cancer of the cervix AND cancer of the uterus in the same woman. He also noticed that all his cancer patients seemed to have something in common: there had been some kind of psycho emotional conflict prior to the onset of their disease, a conflict that had never been fully resolved.

After having examined 20,000 cancer patients with all types of cancer, Dr. Hamer has come up with some revolutionary information. X-rays taken of the brain by Dr. Hamer showed in all cases a ‘dark shadow’ somewhere in the brain. These dark spots would be in exactly the same place in the brain for the same types of cancer. There was also a 100% correlation between the dark spot in the brain, the location of the cancer in the body and the specific type of unresolved conflict.

On the basis of these findings, Dr. Hamer suggests that when we are in a stressful conflict that is not resolved, the emotional reflex center in the brain which corresponds to the experienced emotion (e.g : anger, frustration, grief) will slowly break down. Each of these emotion centers are connected to a specific organ. When a center breaks down, it will start sending wrong information to the organ it controls, resulting in the formation of deformed cells in the tissues: cancer cells. He also suggests that metastases are not the SAME cancer spreading. It is the result of new conflicts that may well be brought on by the very stress of having cancer or of invasive and painful or nauseating therapies.

Dr. Hamer started including psychotherapy as an important part of the healing process and found that when the specific conflict was resolved, the cancer immediately stopped growing at a cellular level. The dark spot in the brain started to disappear. X-rays of the brain now showed a healing edema around the damaged emotional center as the brain tissue began to repair the afflicted point. There was once again normal communication between brain and body. A similar healing edema could also be seen around the now inactive cancer tissue. Eventually, the cancer would become encapsulated, discharged or dealt with by the natural action of the body. Diseased tissue would disappear and normal tissue would then again appear.

Recent research in Germany, Austria, France, the US and Denmark has confirmed Dr. Hamer's findings; that emotional conflicts create cancer, and solving the conflicts in question stops the cancer growth.

Dr. Hamer believes that cancer people are unable to share their thoughts, emotions, fears and joys with other people. He calls this “psycho-emotional isolation”. These people tend to hide away sadness and grief behind a brave face, appear ‘nice’ and avoid open conflict. Some are not even aware of their emotions, and are therefore not only isolated from other people, but also from themselves. If we live our life in emotional isolation, our emotional centers will be under constant stress. If we then add a major conflict which we are not able to resolve, and which we may not even be quite conscious of, then the emotional centers of our brain are in danger of breaking down.

We all experience “emotional isolation”, more or less. We live in a society where we want to interact with other people in a way we have been brought up to regard as considerate. There are limits to what we feel we can say and do. We often even censor what we allow ourselves to think and feel. Having to change these lifestyle facts does not necessarily mean that we need to go out and hit our neighbor or cry in front of our friends. It is a question of how we can change our emotional patterns without creating even greater conflicts for ourselves.

It can take time to make even small changes in our habits. The important thing is that we can start healing from the moment we have understanding of our emotional conflicts so we can start acting, even if this action is merely to start talking to somebody-a friend, a partner or a professional. In this way, we break the loneliness of our isolation, and the pressure is taken off the emotional centers in our brain.

Cancer patients who choose psychosomatic therapy-whether professionally or with a good friend-are different from most other patients. They are not 'just' being treated by others, but play an active part in resolving how and why the disease occurred. The word 'patient' becomes redundant, and they enter into active co-treatment of themselves.

It is not a question of trying to follow some ideal way of living, based on other people's experiences. Each one of us must find our OWN solution-a lifestyle that works for US. We become sick in OUR OWN WAY -and we must HEAL in our own way.

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. Test your saliva pH with a test strip from the health food store. It should read 6.3 - 6.4. Care must be taken to ensure a balanced diet. There are many good books on the subject

Eat plenty of fresh raw vegetables and fruit. Wash them first in 3% hydrogen peroxide. Drink 8 glasses of clean, mineralized water every day. Spend 15 minutes in the sun every day. Supplement your diet with yogurt, brewer’s yeast tablets, halibut liver oil, and vitamin C.

If you smoke and drink, stop. If you use non-prescription drugs, stop. Examine your prescribed drugs as well. Antibiotics are bad for your system. Over time, they suppress the immune system and destroy the vital beneficial bacteria. Ozone will substitute for these products, while stimulating your immune system to its highest potency.

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.

Do not drink tap water. Either buy bottled water cleaned with ozone, or purchase a reverse osmosis unit. Attach a good filter to your shower head to eliminate the toxic chlorine from you shower/bathing water. Use 8 ounces of 35% food grade peroxide in a full tub of warm unchlorinated water, and 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 tank and regulator. After the initial outlay, you can expect to go through about $20 worth of oxygen per month. For IV injections, you must use oxygen from a tank only. For other treatments, such as the steam sauna, an oxygen concentrator works well, if the flow rate can be set low enough.

You will have to set aside time for yourself to do the ozone therapy. It takes time and dedication. If you are going to do rectal insufflation, you must do an enema before each in order to clean the colon. It is necessary to have regular bowel movements, to ensure that toxins are not reabsorbed.

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 will 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 should 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.

USING OZONE IN THE HOME
General procedure :

1. Plug the generator into the wall socket.
2. Connect an air line from the output of the oxygen tank regulator to the input of the generator.
3. Connect an air line to the output of the generator and then to the appropriate attachment
4. Open the valve on the oxygen tank and adjust the flow rate on the regulator to 1/2 l./m. for one minute, then reduce flow rate as given below.
5. Engage the power switch on the generator.
6. When finished, turn off the generator, turn off the oxygen tank, disconnect the lines, and store in a safe place.
Drinking Water:
1. Bubble ozone through cold water using the white ceramic diffuser at 1/8 liters/minute for 5 minutes for a glass; 15 minutes per liter; one hr. per gallon.
2. Add two drops of Concentrace trace mineral drops to a glass
3. Drink immediately on an empty stomach.
Rectal Insufflation:
1. Clean the bowel with an enema (ozonated water is preferable)
2. Hook up the generator as stated above, and connect the rectal catheter.
3. Set the regulator flow rate to deliver 1/32 liters/minute.
4. Lubricate the catheter with Vitamin E, lie on your left side and insert the catheter about 2”.
5. Engage the power switch on the generator.
6. 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.
7. When a feeling of fullness, or of cramping is felt, withdraw the catheter, shut off the generator, and close the oxygen tank valve.
Vaginal Insufflation:
1. Hook up the generator to the oxygen tank and regulator as above
2. Attach a clean, lubricated catheter
3. Set the regulator to deliver 1/32 liters/minute, and turn on the generator.
4. If there is a burning sensation, and it is too uncomfortable, stop and try again the next day.
5. After you are used to it, you may be able to run it for an 30 - 45 minutes at a time.
Insertion in the Ear:
1. Hook up the generator to the oxygen tank and regulator as above.
2. Attach the white plastic ear adapter
3. Insert the adapter carefully into the ear.
4. Set the regulator to deliver 1/32 liters/minute and engage the power.
5. Do each ear for 5 minutes. Ear draining will occur, sometimes profusely.
