THE
HISTORY OF MEDICAL OZONE IN THE TREATMENT OF AIDS Dr.
John Pittman MD The
following is a summation of exciting occurances in the field of innovative
medicine, and particularly in the treatment of AIDS, due to its powerful
oxidizing effect. Ozone is an energized form of oxygen with extra electrons
present, which spontaneously disperse from the molecule as soon as they are
produced. Ozone
blasts holes through the membranes of viruses, bacteria, yeast and abnormal
tissue cells. One of the early uses of ozone was in America in the 1930's, when
it was found to be effective in treating various types of inflammatory bowel
disorders, such as ulcerative colitis, Krohn's disease and chronic bacterial
diarrhea. In this procedure, ozone gas is delivered into the rectum through a
catheter tip, where it is absorbed through the lining of the colon. German
researchers have been leaders in the development of ozone technology. In the
Fifties, they developed a technique for treating blood with ozone called 'major
autohemotherapy.' In this procedure, about 300 cc's of blood is taken from a
vein into a vacuum bottle. Ozone is then bubbled through the blood, after which
the blood is reinfused. In this procedure, ozone destroys any virus particles in
the blood. It is also absorbed into the plasma and after reinfusion, disperses
throughout the body. Another
technique for using ozone is direct infusion, in which the ozone gas is injected
directly into the vein. This has the advantage of being more precise in terms of
dosage delivered, as well as allowing administration of higher concentrations. Other
techniques include direct application to the skin through the use of ozone water
baths and steam cabinets. Through
dilligent research, the Germans were abel to determine that ozone was incredibly
effective in destroying such infections as hepatitis, Epstein-Barr virus,
herpes, cytomegalovirus and HIV. With the realization that HIV was susceptible
to ozone, the Germans began using the autohemotherapy technique to treat AIDS
patients as soon as this was a recognized disease. There
have been numerous anecdotes about the German's success with ozone, and many
physicians in this country have been using it with great success. Until
recently, neither the government institutions nor private corporations have
sponsored any rigid clinical ozone studies. There appears to be a built-in bias
against the development of therapies such as ozone, because it is a non-patentable
gas. Our pharmaceutical industry has developed based on the ability to patent
synthetic drugs that can be sold at a profit, and thus recoup the initial
investment expense. This has resulted in a system which supports drug
development by this method and has discouraged the development of simple,
inexpensive or non-patentable substances. Nevertheless, numerous physicians have
used ozone successfully, risking sanctions by federal and state authorities, as
this is not a FDA approved treatment. In 1986 a
company was formed with the purpose of developing ozone technology for medical
use in the treatment of HIV infection. This company, named Medizone Inc. was
formed by Terrance McGrath. Mr. McGrath founded Medizone with the purpose of
declaring ozone as a drug, and proceeding with the development of this drug just
as any other pharmaceutical company. He assembled a research team of experts in
hematology and the biochemistry of oxidative substances, and began to go through
the laborious process that the FDA requires for a new drug development. One of
the factors the FDA would require in the development of any new drug was the
ability to deliver a precise quantity at a given concentration. In this case, it
would be necessary to know the exact amount of ozone being produced by the
machine as well as that being absorbed by the blood in order to determine the
proper dosage. Mr. McGrath's research team developed a device to deliver ozone
through a thin filter membrane to blood that has been drawn from the body. This
allows a precise regulation of the quality of ozone being delivered and absorbed
by the blood. Upon
development of this patented device, Medizone was able to sell stock to raise
money for the laboratory studies and animal toxicity trials that were necessary
before FDA would give approval for human studies with ozone. They have
cooperated with the FDA and have produced very good research data which has been
published in peer review journals. The most
recent data was found in the article 'Blood, The Journal of Hematology' in
October of 1991. It was a report on a study done in Syracuse, New York, which
proved that ozone will inactivate HIV in vitro (in the laboratory, outside the
body.) In this case, blood that was infected with the virus was treated by ozone
using Medizone's device and then was studied afterward for any trace of viral
particles. Following the publication of this research, it was expected that the
FDA would grant Medizone approval to begin Phase 1 of human clinical trials.
However, the FDA came back to Medizone with the requirement that they conduct
large animal toxicity studies using an animal with blood volume comparable to
that of humans in order to determine if there is any toxic effect. The study
that has been developed will use large pigs, will cost a considerable amount of
money, and will add more time to the procedure for approval. At the time ot this
writing, Medizone still intends to move forward with this study while attempting
to receive early approval for a human trial. The
government has become more receptive to the idea of innovative medicine by
establishing the Office of Alternative Medicine at the National Institute of
Health. Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa has been instrumental in establishing this
office. The Senator has family members who have experienced the improvements
using natural and alternative therapies, thus he has been a valuable proponent
of these treatments. Through
the action of Senator Harkin, other members of Congress, and public pressure,
the Senate Appropriations Committee set aside two million dollars for the
establishment of this office in February of 1992. They have yet to look at
ozone. I am very
excited to announce that we have opened the North Carolina Bio-Oxidative Health
Center in August 1004. We are located in the Blue Ridge Plaza, a medical office
building near Rex Hospital in Raleigh, NC. This center is the outgrowth of
several projects in which I have been involved over the past five years as part
of my ongoing research of ozone and detoxification therapies in the treatment of
immune system disorders. I
voluntarily closed my office in Raleigh in 1992 to comply with an order from the
NC Board of Medical Examiners that I cease using ozone in my medical practice
because it was considered non-conventional and was not in common usage by other
doctors within the state. Since then, through the actions of many individuals
and patients' rights groups, the law has been changed so that a physician cannot
have his license revoked for using experimental or non-conventional therapies. North Carolina is now the fifth state in the country with a freedom of
medicine law which allows physicians to choose those therapies they feel will
benefit their patients the most and gives the patients the ability to choose the
kind of medical care they feel is best for them.
IMMUNIZATION
AND OZONE - Saul Pressman It was
the work of Louis Pasteur, Edward Jenner, Rudolph Virchow, Robert Koch, Paul
Ehrlich and Emil von Behring that brought about the theory of wide-spread
immunization, based upon the idea of producing antibodies in th blood to 'help
out' the body's immune system to identify and attack 'invading germs.' Through
the work of Antoine Bechamp, William F. Koch, Royal Rife, Gunther Enderlein,
Carl Edward Rosenow, Otto Warburg and Gaston Naessens, the original assumptions
underlying this theory regarding the body's immune system have now been shown to
be erroneous. The
so-called 'bad' bacteria and viruses that modern medicine fights with its huge
arsenal of pharmaceutical drugs are in reality the germs of life. These germs of
life live in symbiosis with the nutritive medium that constitutes our body,
allowing it to be built up and later decomposed, to be metamorphosed and
recreated. These germs are pleomorphic shapeshifters who are controlled by the
medium in which they live. Germs are not something separate, isolated,
unfriendly and coming from without, but are rather the foundation for all life.
Without germs, there is no life. Their number is infinite. Their function is
varied. Germs can change shape, join together, separate again and return to
their primordial condition. Viruse, bacteria and fungi are various developmental
forms of germs. The nutritive medium on which the germs thrive determines the
type of development they will undergo. Early in
this century, Dr. Carl Edward Rosenow of the Mayo Biological Laboratories began
a series of experiments in which he took distinctive bacterial strains from a
number of disease sources and placed them in one culture of uniform media. In
time, the distinctive strains all changed and became one uniform class. By
repeatedly changing cultures, he could individually modify bacterial strains,
making harmless ones 'pathogenic,' and in turn reverse the process. He concluded
that the critical factor controlling the nature of the bacteria was the food and
environment they lived on. These discoveries were first published in 1914 in the
Journal of Infectious Diseases. Rosenow's
work was corroborated and expanded upon about two decades later by Royal R.
Rife, developer of the Universal Microscope, with a resolution of 150,000 power.
This precision instrument made live bacteria and viruses visible. Rife
showed that by altering the environment and food supply, friendly bacteria, such
as colon bacillus, could be converted into the 'pathogenic' bacteria known as
typhoid. Rife was able to observe that the viral agent associated with certain
forms of cancer could in time be modified into harmless bacillus coli, and the
process reversed. Rife stated that it was the unbalanced cell metabolism of the
human body that in actuality produced the disease. He believed that if the human
body was perfectly balanced, it was susceptible to no disease. This work
closely paralleled Alexis Carrel's earlier research at the Rockefeller Institute
where he was able to control the rates and levels of infenctious disease
mortality among mice by altering the diet. Researcher Rene Dubos reaffirmed
these findings and suggested that virulence is an ecological problem: that is a
problem of the state of internal cleanliness. It is
known that children who cannot produce antibodies in their blood (agmmaglobulinemia)
nevertheless recover from diseases such as measles and still have long-term
immunity. People with no antibodies have been found who are extremely resistant
to diseases, while other people have developed diseases to which they already
had high levels of antibodies. Official
U.S. military records show that highly immunized personnel manifest a mortality
rate from diptheria four times higher than of unvaccinated civilians. It is now
clear that the body needs no 'help' of the sort provided by immunization; that
antibodies in the blood stream are not required to protect teh body; and that
immunization can cause immune suppression, permanent nervous system damage, and
growth stunting. There is also strong evidence that immunization can actually
cause the diseases it was meant to prevent. This view has gained support from
the writing of a report commissioned by the Canadian International Development
Agency (CIDA) from Dr. Raymond Obomsawin in 1992. In his
detailed report, Dr. Obomsawin found that the idea of induced immunity was an
illusion founded on: -discredited scientific theories; -the refusal to examine
contrary data; -the lack of proper followup assessment of immunized children -
and poor statistical methods. The
positive impact of immunization on public health has never, repeat NEVER, been
substantiated in any unbiased study. Immunized people have repeatedly fallen ill
to the disease they were supposedly vaccinated against, and epidemics are
statistically MORE numerous in more widely vaccinated groups (studies in Gambia,
Brazil and Taiwan). Estimates
by 'experts' on the degree and severity of adverse reactions have been woefully
wrong, and serious damage and even fatalities have gone unreported, preventing a
true assessment of the value of immunization. Repeatedly,
statistics and reports have been manipulated in an attempt to show the
effectiveness of vaccination. The best known case involves the famous Salk polio
vaccine. This massive program is held up as a shining example of the
effectiveness of vaccination, yet the statistical evidence shows that polio was
on its natural cyclic downturn at the time of introduction of the vaccine in
1956. In one of the rare double blind tests ever done on a vaccine, the group
receiving it had 200 cases of polio reported, while the control group had none.
Polio disappeared in Europe in the mid-Fifties about the same time as in
America, yet there was no program of mass-vaccination there. Some
scientists are now postulating that full vaccination irreparably weakens the
child's immune system. These same scientists theorize that mass innoculation is
responsible for the widespread escalation of auto-immune, degenerative and
allergic conditions amongst those subjected to vaccination as children. A
further disturbing trend is the increasing coercion placed upon parents to force
them to have their children subjected to this massive invasion of their bodies.
The weight of state sanctions against parents is unconscionable, especially when
the true dangers of immunization have now been laid bare in this report. Now that
we know that vaccination offers no protection against disease we are left with
the question of what disease, how to present it and how to treat it. The
Cause of Disease The human
body is 2/3 water, 10% of it in the blood and 90% in the lymph. It toxins are
allowed to build up in the system, the water gets 'dirty.' If the blood pH
varies from 7.3 then the beneficial microbes that are necessary in the body
begin to change their form, and disease results. To
maintain a clean system, it is necessary to have a proper diet, one that
produces a blood pH that is neither too alkaline (bacteria problems) or too acid
(cancer problems). And it is necessary to have sufficient oxygen in the system
to allow cellular respiration to be efficient and allow complete oxidation,
preventing the production of carbon monoxide which the body cannot expel. Each cell
burns sugar (carbohydrates) in oxygen to make its fuel. The carbon-hydrogen bond
is cleaved, and the oxygen bonds with the hydrogen, forming H2O (water) and CO2
(carbon dioxide). If there is insufficient oxygen available, CO (carbon
monoxide) is formed instead of CO2, excessive lactic acid is formed and the
blood is made more acid. If this oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) continues long
enough, the cell will no longer be able to sustain the process of oxidation and
it will be forced to ferment its sugar anerobically in order to survive. This
process turns off the governor on cell replication and therefore wild growth can
begin. Ungoverned cell growth is called cancer. Circulation
of clean, oxygen-carrying blood is a basic requirement for optimum health, and
this can be achieved by bringing ozone into the body. The least expensive way of
ding that would be to live on a mountain far from the cities and breathe deeply
- - the recipe for an Eastern master. Failing
that, we can use an ozone generator to create ozone from pure oxygen and bring
that into the body in any one of a dozen ways in order to oxidize toxins and
oxygenate the cells. Ozone works at the basic level of all important bodily
functions - respiration, digestion, assimilation, elimination and immunity. And
this is the answer to the question of what we substitute for the worthless and
dangerous vaccination programs. It is
imperative that the red blood cells be kept free-floating and unclumped, so that
they can carry the proper amount of oxygen. Ingestion of ozone keeps red blood
cells from clumping and therefore keeps circulation of the optimum level
necessary for good health. If people
were to have reliable and inexpensive ozone generators in their homes, they
could purify their water, their air and their bodies. If adequate nutrition and
sanitation were maintained, diseases of all types could be prevented. The role
of the hospital would be reduced to an extension of the emergency room for
accident victims. The role of the pharmaceutical company with its noxious
potions woud disappear, and the level of general health would rise to new
heights. INFECTION
