OZONE:
ITS THERAPEUTIC ACTION A widely
used remedy is just starting to be used here in the United States. This remedy
is so pwerful, so efficient in what it does, that it may reform the practise of
medicine. The substance is ozone! It is antibacterial, antiviral and kills
protozoa. It works by releasing oxygen into the blood stream when applied
externally, intravenoulsly, rectally or vaginally. In 1740
Schonbein discovered ozone, although he did not know or understand its
structure. The discovery was enlarged upon in 1891 with the determination of the
ozone molecular formula. Observation soon revealed that ozone reacted with and
destroyed bacteria and other organisms. During the first World War, the
application of ozone to war wounds served primarily as a disinfectant. In 1934
the dentist E.A. Fische and the surgeon Erwin Payr found that ozone saturated
water was a great bacteriacide and began using it. This usage slowed temporarily
because the ozone would quickly destroy the rubber tubing it flowed through. The
arrival of Teflon and poly-vinyl tubing overcame this inconvenience. Today the
largest commercial use of ozone is in the purification of water. Both the FDA
and EPA certify ozone as destroying 99.9992% of all pathogenic germs, while
oxidizing (destroying) 99.9992% of all pollutants in the water at the same time. Ozone
(O3) is an allotropic form of oxygen: it is oxygen in its most active state; it
therefore means a more generous supply of oxygen, the life giver. Through
the action of the flashes of lightning, and the photochemical reaction of the UV
light of the sun on atmspheric oxygen, nature produces ozone for the purpose of
purifying the air, and to destroy all organic decay upon which disease germs and
bacteria thrive. Like oxygen, ozone is a healthful gas. It has, however, much
greater oxidizing, antiseptic and germicidal power and for this reason is being
used with great success for the relief of various diseases. Recently, the FDA
and EPA have been telling the public that ozone is poisonous, and detrimental to
the body. This is not so! For years physicians around the world have used ozone
for bringing palliative and curative results to many, many individuals. Ozone is
one of the most energetic and useful agents known to sciencel Its therapeutic
action is due to oxygenation of the blood by the loose molecule (free radical)
of oxygen in the O3 compound. It is carried to the various organs and tissues of
the body and absorbed, thus oxidizing the waste products, and facilitating their
elimination. In other words, ozone increases the metabolism without the
expenditure of vital energy and special stress should belaid on the fact that
ozone is a NATURAL remedy. In the
process of respiration waste products are exposed to the action of the oxygen of
the air, and they are burned up very much as if they were put into a stove,
thereby producing body heat. In the living body, heat, whether tangible or not,
is continually being generated through the chemical action of carbon and oxygen. When the
blood receives sufficient oxygen to unite with the carbon, carbon dioxide (CO2)
is formed, which is in a suitable state to be eliminated. The process of
oxidation is complete, the body temperature maintained at normal (98.6 F), the
organs perform their functions properly and the system is in a condition to
resist the toxic influences of microbes, environment and mankind's excesses. When,
however, an insufficient amount of oxygen is received by the blood, carbon
monoxide (CO) is formed, which is NOT readily eliminated, and through its
poisonous influences, trouble begins. Carbon
monoxide is a DE-oxidizer. It acts as an irritant to the organs, the body
temperature is reduced below normal and the system is rendered incapable of
resisting the toxic influences of various bacteria, viruses and environmental
toxins, and disease is the result. So prevalent is subnormal temperature among
people who are called 'run down.' that nine out of ten of them will show a
subnormal temperature by actual thermometer test. There
have been several reasons given for subnormal temperatures in recent years: they
range from 'thyroid insufficiency' to 'hypothalamus disorders.' These
explanations are correct, but only to a degree. The CAUSE of the problem is low
and inadequate oxidation. Therefore the thyroid, hypothalamus, or endocrine
organs (given as the cause) are hindered in their normal metabolic function and
the sub-normal temperature is the result. The correct way to counteract this
situation is to give a substance that will restore the oxidative process. Thd
clinical thermometer is the best means of determining the existence of
underoxidation and should be used routinely. The temperature of one who is
underoxidized will be found to run from a fraction to several degrees below
normal. The
underoxidized and subnormal temperature person will present one of more of the
following symptoms: headache, dizziness, insomnia, constipation, faint-feeling,
loss of appetite, palpitation of the heart, liver and kidney problems, menstrual
problems, cold hands and feet, anemia, gastrointestinal problems, chlorosis,
etc., all of which are due to an improverished blood supply. The
symptoms or conditions ther rise from a subnormal temperature are not
necessarily in proportion to the degree of subnormal temperature. A person
showing a fractional part of one degree of subnormal temperature may present as
severe problems or conditions of disease as one who is several degrees below
normal. A
sufficiency of oxygen for the blood means better blood, better circulation,
better assimilation, better equilibrium of body temperature, better vasomotor
activity, better digestion, better elimination of waste products, less chance of
autointoxication or toxemia, and less chance of infection and disease. After
careful analyticla investigation of disease, it has been demonstrated: 1. That
one of the most common important conditions that the person is called upon to
correct is weakness produced by an impoverished or diminished blood supply. 2. That
under-oxidation produces bad health primarily because of an insufficient supply
of oxygen that makes certain the formation of carbon monoxide, which is at once
a de-oxidizer, a hemoglobin destroyer and an irritant poison devitalizing the
blood and paving the way for a multiplicity of acute troubles, many of which run
into chronicity. It has
been suggested that a subnormal temperature may be a normal condition with some
people. This deduction can be disproven by placing anyone with a subnormal
temperature under active influence of ozone and the temperature can be made to
rise back to normal. Almost
all forms of nervous, functional, respiratory and blood disorders can be
successfully corrected by oxidation restoration. The effects are perfectly
natural, the nerves being left calm and toned with a feeling of buoyancy and
exhileration. It stimulates the vasomotor system through the nerve centers,
which fact is clearly shown in the increased redness of the skin, a feeling of
warmth in the whole body, and waste products being more freely eliminated. The
ozone treatment show that poor oxidation is the cause of many disorders, by
reason of the fact that when the temperature is brought up to normal, the
problems disappear. Another
aspect of ozone therapy that is understood by almost nobody in the medical
community is the ability of ozone to oxidize almost instantly anything of a
plant physiology. This is paramount importance when you consider the work of the
great German biochemist Dr. Otto Warburg. He discovered the cause of cancer in
1923 and received his first Nobel Prize in 1931 for doing so. Dr. Warburg
demonstrated that when the level of oxygen available to the cell drops below 40%
of normal, the cell, in order to survive, begins to ferment the sugar
anaerobically. The regulatory mechanisms on cell replication are shut off, and
the cell begins tomake copies of itself wildly. The growth of cancer cells is
supported by fermentation which can be initiated only in the relative absence of
oxygen. Ever
since Warburg's discovery, researchers have been attempting to stop the
fermentation process through drugs, radiation and surgery, which in some cases,
has been temporarily successful. Although the National Cancer Institute verified
Warburg's theories in the 1950's, very little work has been done to determine
the causes of the lack of oxygen in our cellls. We must determine ways of
getting more oxygen to all of our cells to prevent the initiation of the
fermentation process. It is
unfortunate that up till now the U.S. authorities have been painfully slow in
their investigation of the beneficial uses of ozone. The Sixth World Ozone
Conference held in Washington D.C. during May, 1982, produced many astounding
papers on the medical uses of ozone. They ran the full gamut of topics from
cancer to herpes to rheumatoid arthritis, written by the world's recognized
specialists in their fields. These papers concluded that: 1. Ozone
removes unwanted bacteria and viruses from the blood, the same way it does with
water. 2. The
possibility of becoming infected with hepatitis, HIV virus, syphilis or other
infectious diseases through blood transfusion could be eliminated by the use of
ozone. 3. Ozone
is highly effective in peripheral vascular disease. 4. Ozone
is effective in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, arteriosclerosis and
hypercholesterolemia, and promptly restores circulation, relieves angina pain
and improves brain function. 5. With
ozone cancerous tumors, lymphomas and leukemia may be eliminated without the use
of surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. 6. Ozone
is highly effective for all forms of rheumatoid and arthritis collagen diseases. 7. Ozone
is very effective for allergies of all types. 8. Ozone
improves multiple sclerosis, and other neurological diseases, senility, as well
as in Parkinson's disease. 9.
External use of ozone is very effective in treating burns, acne, leg ulcers,
open cuts and wounds, aczema, fungus and other skin disorders. 10. Rectal
insufflation with ozone is effective for proctitis, colitis, prostatitis and
fissure; vaginal insufflation is effective for candidiasis and other yeast
infections, trichomoniasis and other forms of vaginitis; bladder insufflation is
effective for cystitis and bladder fistulas, as well as cancer. 11. AIDS,
herpes, hepatitis, mononucleosis, and cirrhosis of the liver have been
successfully treated with ozone. 12. The application of ozone is virtually
painless, , has no adverse side effects and is extremely cost-effective for both
physicians and patients. 13. As of
1994, sixteen countries allow the use of ozone therapy. In a study Germany, of
all the millions of treatments, there have only been four deaths reported, with
only 40 persons having side effects. Most people are puzzled as to why something with this potential has not
be used in the United States befoe now. In order to understand this, one has to
examime how medicine has evolved over the past 100 years on two continents;
Europe and America. In the late 1800's, the way medicine was practiced in both
areas was very similar, though quite diverse. Doctors on both continents were
taught many different techniques of healing including herbal medicine, potions,
manipulations, diets, purges, colonics, as well as drugs, and surgery. These
physicians practiced holistic medicine in its original form. The divergence
began in the United States with the discovery of insulin and penicillin in the
1930's. In close conjunction with the rise in power of the drug companies is the
ever increasing policing of all medical therapies by the FDA along with the
development of the healthe insurance system. Today's American doctors get
practically no training in therapies other than drugs or surgery and are
discouraged from practicing any alternative therapies. On the other hand the
European system nurtured diversity in which pharmaceutical development, as well
as alternative treatments, were encouraged. This is how ozone, as a medical
treatment, was allowed to deelop in Europe, but did not find fertile ground in
the United states, after 1933. Ozone is not patentable. Thus, there is no money
to be made in its research and development as a treatment since it cannot be
protected. Money is what makes things happen in the United States, thus ozone
hasn't happened. However, with the development of the AIDS crisis over the last
decade, many physicians in this country have been prompted to study the work
done by clinicians in Germany and attempt to duplicate theri resutls. The FDA
has actively persecuted doctors who have used ozone therapy. In spite of this,
there is a growing network of physicians who have been using this efficacious
therapy. |
