Oxygen therapy is an umbrella term for a number of closely
related leading edge therapies that seek to promote healing by flooding the
body with oxygen. Ozone therapy is probably the most powerful of the Oxygen
therapies as ozone is more active than the other two main methods – hyperbaric
oxygen and hydrogen peroxide therapy. The reason you have not heard about it
is quite simple. It is not profitable for the pharmaceutical industry, which
dominates mainstream medicine. This is because oxygen and ozone are natural
gases - they cannot be patented therefore they are not P-R-O-F-I-T-A-B-L-E!
Ozone is an activated, trivalent (three atoms) form of oxygen. Oxygen is O2
whereas ozone is O3. Over a period of 20-30 minutes, ozone breaks down into
two atoms of regular oxygen - by giving up one atom of singlet oxygen. Medical
Ozone is made when Medical Grade Oxygen is electrically activated (using an
Ozone Generator) to form Ozone. Ozone is germicidal, bactericidal, and
fungicidal. Oxygen has these properties too, but less strongly. Ozone was
discovered by Fridereich Schonbein and was described in a letter written in
1826 (R. Viebahn Haensler – “The Use of Ozone in Medicine” 3rd English Edition
page 22). It has been used in medical and naturopathic medicine since the
1870’s.
Under oxygenation is one of the main underlying causes of poor health.
Oxygen/Ozone therapy seeks to redress this imbalance. Oxygen starvation is
caused by poor breathing, de-oxygenated and refined foods, smoking, lack of
exercise, environmental pollution and carbon monoxide poisoning (especially
for those living in cities i.e. most of us) and the natural reduction in
ambient oxygen that has been taking place since the Cretaceous era as
confirmed by Science News November 7th 1987. Other treatments both
conventional and alternative do work - as long as the blood stream is properly
oxygenated.
We believe lack of sufficient cellular oxygen is a major cause of poor
health i.e. low immunity, constant tiredness, regular colds and flu's, low
vitality and M.E. These problems all respond well to oxygen/ozone therapy.
People with asthma and bronchitis also respond particularly well, though ozone
is never actually inhaled – it is applied by various methods which bypass the
lungs (the main method used at the Finchley Clinic is
transdermal ozone). Headache and migraine sufferers also report benefits
(are these conditions caused by lack of oxygen to the brain?) What we do know
is that when the body is flooded with an activated form of oxygen, namely
ozone, people consistently report that their health dramatically improves.
Though we see ozone as a naturopathic treatment designed to de-toxify the
body rather than treat diseases as such, ozone has been shown to activate the
immune system by stimulating production of cytokines. Cytokines are “messenger
cells” such as interferons and interleukins, which “set off a cascade reaction
of positive changes throughout the immune system” (R. Viebahn Haensler – “The
Use of Ozone in Medicine” 3rd English Edition page 132). Medical ozone also
has “highly pronounced bactericidal, fungicidal and virostatic properties and
is thus widely used in disinfecting wounds, as well as bacterially and virally
produced diseases”. (R. Viebahn Haensler – “The Use of Ozone in Medicine” 3rd
English Edition page 132). Ozone therapy thus clears the body of harmful
bacteria, viruses (including
HIV), fungi, yeasts, candida and parasites. These microorganisms are
either completely anaerobic or have an anaerobic portion of their life cycle,
meaning that they cannot survive in an oxygen rich environment in the body.
Healthy cells, by contrast, require a high oxygen environment.
From the Author of Oxygen Deficiency: A Concomitant to All Degenerative
Illness
"In all serious disease states we find a concomitant low oxygen state...Low
oxygen in the body tissues is a sure indicator for disease...Hypoxia, or lack
of oxygen in the tissues, is the fundamental cause for all degenerative
disease."
Dr.Stephen Levine
Renowned Molecular Biologist

There are thousands of articles have been published on the benefits of the
various methods of Oxygen therapy for almost every type of ailment. This
material is described in the literature such "Oxygen therapies" by Ed McCabe,
and "Oxygen Healing Therapies" by Nathan Altman. Also highly recommended is
Saul Pressman's "The story of Ozone”. More technical information is obtained
in “The Use of Ozone in Medicine” 3rd English Edition by R. Viebahn Haensler
or by reading the many papers published in English, German and Spanish.
Cancer:
We do not treat cancer or any other diseases for that matter at the clinic,
as we see ozone therapy as a holistic whole body treatment for detoxification
and stimulating the immune system generally. Nevertheless it is appropriate to
point out that Scientist Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine
in 1931 and again in 1944 for his achievement in demonstrating that cancer
cells are anaerobic - they thrive in an oxygen-depleted environment
"Cancer has only one prime cause. It is the replacement
of normal oxygen respiration of the body's cells by an anaerobic (i.e.
oxygen-deficient) cell respiration".

Winner of the Nobel Prize for Cancer Research

In conclusion, oxygen ozone therapy is an inexpensive holistic therapy
designed to stimulate immunity and de-toxify the body. It works well with all
other naturopathic and complimentary forms of healing to greatly enhance the
health and well being of the patient
