Ozone THerapy |
In 1987 Nancy, my wife, had a devastating series of strokes that nearly killed her. Once she stabilized, she was alive, but barely. She had lost many of the abilities you associate with normal living: she could no longer think or reason, could hardly speak, could walk a little, and was just beginning to be able to swallow solid food. Treatment of stroke in this country was primitive at that time, and I was advised to put her in front of a television set and "Learn to live with it". Got to be something better than that, I thought. Let's try a more innovative approach. Since most of the "cutting edge" alternative treatments were being done in Europe, especially in Germany, I took her there to be treated by several "heilpractikers" (non MD's) who specialized in unconventional therapy. One of the therapies they suggested involved the use of ozone gas. I had had an introduction to the power of ozone years earlier at a clinic in Popayan, Columbia, South America. There, I had treated a law professor who had diabetes and had been advised to have his feet amputated. The ozone treatments worked miracles for him, and we were able to save both his feet by increasing the amount of oxygen in his blood.. Ozone is air with an extra molecule of oxygen attached. The German heilpractikers would draw out a few hundred cc's of Nancy's blood, pass ozone gas through it, then transfuse it back into her bloodstream. The idea was to increase the supply of oxygen to her brain and minimize the loss of brain cells. Such treatment can be extremely helpful in a wide variety of situations, but it usually takes a number of sessions before results are attained. I decided to buy a machine in Germany and bring it back with us to the United States where I could continue to treat her with it. Once back home. I discovered the versatility of ozone. Not only was it useful in helping to re-oxygenate Nancy's brain, it was also helpful in eliminating a chronic respiratory infection I had picked up somewhere along the way.
I love the usefulness of ozone. It is almost as though anything you can think of will benefit from exposure to ozone because it effectively kills a number of disease-causing germs. It is used in hospitals to sterilize surgical instruments and a number of cities use it to clean their water supply. I treated a case of chronic diarrhea that had bothered me for several months by suffusing ozone gas rectally. Vaginal fungal infections are also easily treated by passing ozone into the vagina by means of a small cannula Ozone can be used to make a salve by bubbling the gas through olive oil, then chilling the olive oil in a refrigerator. The resulting ozone ointment is remarkably effective for healing burns, healing foot fungus, as well as healing infected skin cuts and lacerations. While ozone gas itself is not stable and loses its potency quickly, ozone salve stays powerful for many months as long as it is kept in the fridge. Many people pass ozone gas through water to "energize" it. You can purchase a "suit" you put on, then fill it with ozone gas which is then absorbed through the pores in your skin. A nifty way to detoxify your body. Though the gas is toxic, it is even possible to breathe ozone directly, most helpful in resolving chronic upper respiratory problems and flu-like symptoms. To do this, however, the ozone must be filtered through olive oil. A technique was developed a number of years ago by a doctor in Oregon, Dr. William Turska. His work was pioneering, and the multiple uses he found for this wonderful gas are still a most effective alternative therapy today.
For anyone inclined to purchase ozone equipment, I must warn you that much confusion exists about the standards to which these units are built. You must be diligent about researching before you buy. Unfortunately, I have not bought anything beyond the unit I purchased twenty plus years ago, so I cannot advise you further in this. You will learn much at the above hyperlinked web site.
