Skyrocketing publication costs forced us to reduce as much as possible not only the contents but also the testimonials contained in this booklet. Nevertheless, the condensed contents will serve to make clear to the reader the basis of our treatment and prove the validity of our theories. We regret that the aftermath of the war prevents us from celebrating our 25th anniversary by increasing the content and improving the form of our booklet—as was our original intention. Still, we feel we can make amends to the reader by offering him the reality of a practical, proven method of treatment. When we opened our institute in 1900, oxygen held great promise, indeed, seemed to be a new miracle drug. To be sure, oxygen and its wondrous properties had been known for a long time, however, its use in medical healing came as a complete surprise. Some few patients, outwardly doubtful but inwardly hopeful, read our prospectus and were impelled to come to us for treatment. We can say with satisfaction that the expectations of these initial patients were not disappointed, rather they were many times over fulfilled. From the beginning, we made it our policy to accept only those patients who, after careful examination, might expect either a cure or an improvement. This careful selection, as well as the efficacy of our preparations, accounts for our success. Today we have more than twenty years of experience behind us. This long experience has continually confirmed the correctness of our views and methods. During this time, we have uninterruptedly striven to complete and perfect our procedures, though basic changes were not necessary. The Institute is headed by an experienced doctor. All preparations are made in-house under the supervision of special technicians. We have won thousands of friends throughout the world who, because of their own successful experience with oxygen therapy, are only too happy to publicize our successes. Still, we are most happily surprised by the enthusiasm with which our preparations have been received in America. Though this success is in no small part due to the exceptional qualities of our preparations, nevertheless so fast and broad a reception would not have been possible without the industrious and intensive cooperation of our American friends, in particular, R. Steege, of West Bend, Wisconsin, a well- known and distinguished American of German extraction. Mr. Steege has extolled our cause with such intense conviction that we are only too happy to have made him the American representative of our products throughout the North American continent. Toward this end, he had founded the Haemozon Products Company, also of West Bend, Wisconsin, to which we refer all interested Americans. Berlin, March 1922, Institute for Oxygen Therapy _________________________________________________________________________ Which Medical Treatment Should the Patient Choose? Every patient is confronted with the question of which medical treatment he should choose for himself in order to regain his health. A mistake in this matter means not only lost time and money but often even aggravates the very disease it was to help. Thus it is a natural and proper request of every patient to be completely informed of the methods and measures of his treatment. It is hoped the following lines will answer his concerns. From the very beginning in the development of our method, we have adhered to the Latin maxim " Natura Sanat, Medicuz Curat, " or in English, " Only Nature Can Heal. " Thus it is the task of the doctor to protect the patient from everything injurious and to support the natural self healing qualities of the body. Success will be quicker and more lasting if we adapt our treatment to the natural needs and requirements of the body. There are two main methods of healing. One combats the symptoms of an illness, for example, pain, motor disturbances, etc. The other perceives the malady as an expression of the illness of the entire organism. Acute illnesses are caused by external agents (colds, infections, etc.). Symptomatic treatment may claim some success with acute illnesses. However, chronic illnesses which have plagued a body for years cannot be treated in this manner. For example, in rheumatism, the painful joints are treated with rubbing alcohol and for chronic constipation, a laxative is administered. In the first case, the pain may be alleviated or even removed; in the second case, the bowels are purged. But is the illness itself cured? No! These methods work only so long as the rubbing alcohol or the laxative is used. However, if one removes the basic cause (for rheumatism, that is uric acid; for constipation, that is intestinal lassitude), then the body returns to normal. Then the rheumatic pains will disappear, and the intestines will assume their regular functions without the need for irritating laxatives. Thus it follows that the patient should choose for himself a medical treatment that does not merely suppress the symptoms of his illness, but rather removes the basic causes of that illness. Symptomatic Measures May be Injurius Most medicines that are used for the treatment of symptoms are composed of substances that the body considers dangerous and tries as quickly as possible to reject because these substances are foreign to the body and restrict its natural healing powers. Even in the most favorable circumstances they are a senseless burden on an already weakened and sick body. In this category are those much-praised nutritional preparations (concentrated nutritive medicines) which the body usually cannot assimilate. Even more dangerous are those symptomatic medicines which are composed of severe and toxic poisons. These may even cripple the body if the body’s resistance is insufficient. The body will then become passive; in order to induce a reaction, the originally small doses of medicine must be gradually increased. The end may be a complete collapse, as for example occurs in morphine and cocaine addiction. The deduction then is: A medicine should not be composed of substances foreign to the body; it should be composed only of substances which the body needs for its strength and which support its natural healing powers. Metabolism and Healthy Bodies Healing is in a certain sense the reverse process of sickness. In order to decide which method of treatment one should follow, one should clearly understand the origins of that sickness. In order to help the reader understand this viewpoint, we would like to present a condensed summary of the vital processes occurring in our bodies which we collectively call " metabolism. " Good health is dependent upon the harmonious cooperation of all organs. Each organ must completely and fully perform its function. The organs are made up of tiny particles called cells. Throughout our daily activity, a portion of our energy is lost in the form of heat; this process simultaneously uses up a portion of all our cells. In order to replenish these used cells and to supply energy and heat for the body, we have to ingest fuel in the form of food. This food is chewed in the mouth where saliva is added. Next, it is " kneaded " in the stomach where simultaneously are added digestive juices which, like the saliva, induce important chemical-physiological changes in the food. The food is then brought to the intestines where the useful is separated from the unnecessary. This last leaves the body in the form of excrement. In contrast, the useful nutritive substances necessary for individual organs undergo further chemical processes. These processes occur with the help of the glands and their secretions. After further purification and filtration, these nutritive substances enter the bloodstream in liquid form, where they are brought to the individual organs by the tiniest capillaries. Oxygen becomes active in blood. It enters the lungs and then attaches itself to the hemoglobin of the blood and through the arterial blood reaches the cells, thus replenishing an oxygen-deficient body. Energy and heat are then created as well as protein material for the cells, uric acid, carbohydrates and fats in the form of carbolic acid. This metabolic exchange is of the most basic importance for the body. This process of metabolic exchange in the cells is scientifically known as physiological oxidation. It creates heat which is partially used by the body to maintain its vital temperature, and creates energy which is necessary for the maintenance of both muscles and mind. These transformations correspond with the physical basis for the preservation of energy. Deduction: Oxygen is the creator of heat and energy for the body, as well as the decisive factor in its nourishment. This process of intake (nourishment) is now made complete by the process of outtake (the elimination of metabolic residues). The solid residues are eliminated by the intestines, the liquid residues by the urine, as well as in the form of sweat. Gaseous residues, e.g., carbon dioxide, is expelled by the lungs. It is the task of oxygen to facilitate metabolism so that these residues can be easily eliminated. If under these circumstances metabolism is not able to take place with its requisite completeness and rapidity, then all manner of unfavorable (and to the patient, threatening) symptoms become noticeable. The first warning signs are of a general nature; for example, a general weakness, light shivering, cold hands and feet, quicker pulse, rapid breathing, etc. If the deposition of uric acid has already occurred, then there may be associated such deficiencies as loss of appetite and sleep, exhaustion, fatigue, reluctance for physical or mental activity, acute pain, etc. These signs need not lead to specific, complete illness, but they are sure harbingers of such, and we would like to fully take note that the urine in this stage already shows changes due to impending illness. Treatment at this beginning stage can prevent or hinder the outbreak of more serious illness. However, this seldom occurs, and therefore the cause of the disorders continues. The weakening of the blood and the organs progresses further. The oxygen-deficient blood is no longer able to supply the needs of the organs, not even their minimal nourishment. All vital functions then suffer: the nourishment of the cells, the production of energy and heat, and finally the all-important secretion and elimination of waste products. A single grain of sand suffices to stop a clock from working. Our body is a hundred times finer and more delicate than any work of man’s hand. Our body reacts to the smallest disturbances; one has but to think of a speck of dust in the eye! A mere thought is sufficient to bring us joy or worry, to upset or frighten us! The effects of these sensations are very significant to our bodies. How much more effect then must physical disturbances have on our bodies: For example, constipation, crystals in the uric acid, stones in the kidney, in the bladder, and in the gall bladder, and a host of dangerous bacteria and body poisons. The devastation which they can cause is unlimited. All these dangerous intrusions in the body have a detrimental and unhealthy effect, and can only develop in a body which has already begun to undergo a weakening of the organs and is no longer able to defend itself. " In a house, " said Preacher Kneipp, apropos of a sermon, " where the master lies sick in bed, scoundrels will do what they want; but if the master of the house is healthy, he will throw the scoundrels out. " Without further ado, it will be plain to the reader that the " house " refers to the body; that " master " means vitality; and that the word " scoundrels " refers to the products of metabolic disorders. In particular, we would like to mention that many times digestive disorders (weaknesses of the intestine) are the result of a too-rich diet. This leads to a too-long duration of spices in the intestines and stomach, and thereby causes fermentation processes that result partly in the production of too much acid, and partly in the accumulation of too much intestinal and stomach poisons. Chronic constipation will result in the retention of excrement in the intestines which may harden into the consistency of slate—as the results of countless bisections have shown—and the peristaltic movement of the intestines is hindered. Then the patient will have a daily bowel movement only if a soft passageway is left in the middle of the hardened excrement. Without oxygen, there can be no nourishment. Without nourishment, no heat, no energy can be created and the body cannot purify itself. The unhindered development of this metabolic process results in a circumstance which we call sound health. What Causes Metabolic Disorders? The rules of good health are simple. Moderation in eating and drinking is best. Wholesome, non-irritating food is recommended. Spicy foods, coffee, tea, tobacco, and alcohol are to be taken sparingly, if at all. Certain departures from this regimen will hardly cause any harm because the body’s natural resistance is easily able to overcome such minor mistakes. However, lasting harm will arise from the chronic misuse of our bodies; bad habits will eventually lead to physical and mental over-exertion. Besides these errors of commission, there are also errors of omission. While they are not so quick, they nevertheless will undermine one’s health. We are speaking of the neglect of proper body care and healthy rules of living. Indeed these are the most common and typical cases. For example, an office worker must sit for long hours on a stool, often breathing in bad air. The result is poor blood circulation, his heart will work slower and weaker and all organs dependent upon a good circulation will suffer in like manner. This leads to a gradual weakening and atrophy of the body. If the skin is not regularly cared for, it will lose its elasticity, the pores cannot promptly open and close, thus failing to maintain proper body temperature—and colds will result. The respiration and evaporation through our skin will suffer correspondingly. However, the worst mistake is the neglect of our respiration, because if our body is not supplied with plentiful measures of oxygen, then all metabolic processes will suffer. For the average man, respiration is something he just takes for granted. This is in contrast to the viewpoint of Indians. They have made breathing a religious cult; they have raised breathing to the level of a science. According to their viewpoint, the foremost component of air is " Prana. " Prana is a wonderful, unique substance beneficial to the body in many ways and which the body strives to get as much of as possible. We would not be mistaken if we assume Prana to be identical with Oxygen. However, what do we think of this oxygen whose beneficial effects we are more or less familiar with? Unfortunately, not much. We neglect in a shameful manner our natural ability to breathe in oxygen through the lungs. Women restrict their breathing by the habit of wearing corsets—thus the diaphragm is hardly used. But the diaphragm is indispensable for the filling of our lungs, and in a certain sense massages our entire thorax, thus providing a natural stimulus for vital activity. An active healthy man consequently has a healthy pair of lungs. In contrast, a sedentary man who leads a comfortable and contemplative life, i.e., inactive life, will have an unhealthy pair of lungs. A man with sound lungs can with one breath breathe in two or three liters of air; a flabby breather can barely breathe half that amount. This must have an appreciable effect on our metabolism. The Consequences of Metabolic Disturbances We have seen that metabolic disturbances are of two types. First, they result from the over-exertion of our body (too much food, too much drink, irritating substances, sexual excesses). Secondly, they result from the neglect of our body (improper skin care, inactivity, poor breathing). In the first case, certain groups of organs require much more oxygen than they are getting, and must take it at the expense of other organs. And in the second case, the body itself receives too little oxygen. Both cases result in oxygen deficiency and reflect detrimentally on the ability of all bodily organs to perform their functions. The most important cause of metabolic disorders is oxygen-deficient blood and is most noticeable by the creation of uric acid. This widely dispersed bodily poison is the basic cause of all chronic illness. Dr. Haig of London has written about uric acid in a book which also has been translated into the German. The layman thinks of uric acid as a liquid. To be sure, it may appear in solution, but as a rule it is usually a fine crystal powder and because of its difficult solubility, so very dangerous. The fine crystals most often settle in those parts of the body where the circulation of blood is slowest, for example, in the toes. Thus when one has gall stones, the pains are usually felt, in the beginning, in the toes. Afterward, the uric acid appears in the urine as a red, brick-dust whose crystals under a microscope usually have the form of coffin-lids. The color of uric acid is dependent upon the color of the urine, but in pure form it is white. The dangerous effects of uric acid first show themselves in symptoms of a general illness (general weakness, light shivering, cold hands, cold feet, a fast pulse, rapid breathing). This leads to a loss of appetite and sleep, to listlessness and physical and mental inactivity, etc. Next, the poisonous effects of the uric acid lead to further illnesses such as rheumatism and to neuralgia; for example, muscle and joint rheumatism, diseases of the heart and the capillaries, hardening of the arteries (the precursor of most heart attacks), and general neurasthenia in various nerves; for example ischias and migraines, or to gout , kidney infections or gall bladder stones. Iron-poor blood and jaundice have their origins in the pollution and diminished alkalescence of the blood. Further advances of the metabolic illness are then noticeable in the urine—production of uric acid and gall secretions, sugar and protein production, as well as countless intestinal poisons. Their cause is traceable to the poor functioning of the muscle of the stomach and intestines, as well as the mucus membrane of these organs whose secretions are restricted by the oxygen deficiency. This reduced functioning of the stomach and intestines has the consequence that food remains too long in the intestinal tract where it ferments and thus releases intestinal poisons. This stage of the metabolic disorder is apparent in stomach and intestinal illnesses with their countless accompanying symptoms (constipation, loss of appetite, headaches, insomnia, etc.), in diseases of the liver, of the gall bladder, in diabetes, in chronic skin diseases, kidney infections, illnesses of the respiratory organs (nasal and larynx catarrh, asthma, bronchitis, tuberculosis, collapse of the lung); besides in the intestines, bodily poisons and metabolic residues also collect in the skin, the kidneys and the lungs. As soon as the production of uric acid and intestinal poisons reaches a certain stage, then the organs and their individual cells become so weak that they function only at a minimal level. If they receive too little nourishment, then the result is severe stomach and intestinal disturbances, diseases of the liver and pancreas; if they receive too little oxygen, then the result is severe lung, heart and blood diseases, and most of the lymph gland and bone marrow diseases. If the difficulty of either oxygen or nourishment continues, then even this minimal level is not sufficient to sustain the body and all functions will be suspended. At this point, individual body cells begin to die. Not just the individual cells, rather the entire organs, indeed the entire body will die. At this advanced stage of illness, the appetite is completely suppressed and the slow wasting away of the body leads to a general collapse. These are signs that even the layman recognizes as the final stages before death. Conclusion: 1) A healthy man is well fed, strong, warm and internally clean, because his metabolism functions properly with the help of oxygen. 2) An unhealthy man is poorly nourished; he is weak; he is without proper warmth, and because of the retention of metabolic residues, he is internally polluted. This condition results from an oxygen-deficient metabolic rate. 3) In order to regain sound health, the body must be supported in its efforts to ingest sufficient oxygen. This will lead to a revitalized energy, the production of heat and strength, as well as the cleansing of all foreign substances. All important metabolic processes are dependent upon oxygen, and are only possible with the help of oxygen. Hence oxygen is the savior in all metabolic illnesses. Thoughts and Doubts Hardly an objection can be raised against the foregoing conclusion. However, thoughtful people may ask, why have these simple and obvious conclusions not long since been incorporated into modern medicine? And they may ask, if the lungs are too weak to inhale more air, how is it possible for more oxygen to enter the body? These questions are completely proper and we gladly would like to answer them. There has been no lack of effort in trying to make oxygen a healing medicine for sick bodies. The most famous of these efforts has been the use of oxygen as an inhalation, that is, the inspiration of oxygen from a source of compressed oxygen. This method has had certain uncontested success, for example, in respiratory infections and gas poisoning. Oxygen inhalation has also been a supporting factor in our Haemozon treatment. However, oxygen breathed in this way is not utilized for the entire body because of oxygen’s molecular nature. Molecules are distinct, solid complexes of atoms. Oxygen in the air is composed of molecules. In describing the normal circumstances of metabolism, we have not mentioned the chemical nature of oxygen. We would like to do so at this time. Oxygen is inspired through the lungs and passes into the blood where it attaches itself to hemoglobin and is thus chemically reduced to atoms. In this form, it is known as " active oxygen " and is absorbed by the cells where it works as a catalyst in reducing complicated proteins and carbohydrates into simple building blocks of the cell, and for the replenishment and reconstruction of the used tissues, and finally as an oxidation agent in the creation of heat and energy. Blood that is poor in red corpuscles and over-laden with metabolic scoria is able to split and thus make active only a certain amount of oxygen, hence the inhalation of oxygen has insufficient effect on the metabolic processes. Because of this consideration the proposed task became especially difficult. The attempts to stimulate internal oxidation through the inhalation of oxygen from a source of pure compressed oxygen did not lead to the desired results. So one had to consider supplying oxygen to the stomach without recourse to the lungs. This was a bold thought—it had never before been thought possible, only this time it did prove itself possible. A carrier for the oxygen had to be found that could be readily taken into the stomach. This carrier had to have the ability to bind with oxygen and yet easily allow it to change into a form that the blood could utilize. The carrier that proved itself best in meeting all the requirements was the element magnesium. Following a complicated chemical process, a considerable amount of oxygen could be bound with magnesium. The effects of stomach and intestinal secretions would free the oxygen, which then could easily be absorbed by the blood through osmosis. This was because oxygen was now in its active state (in statu nascendi—nascent oxygen). To the degree that it is not used as a nutritive salt, the magnesium is then eliminated. In the course of medical practice, magnesium displayed other qualities which we would like to describe. Magnesium has a noticeable mild laxative effect, and active oxygen is a strong, though completely harmless disinfectant. Thus when the two combine—a combination which we call Haemozon—it is certainly no surprise that they have a mild and simultaneously extraordinary laxative and disinfectiive effect. In addition, experience has shown that Haemozon, unlike other substances, has the property of never becoming addictive to the stomach, and rather in most cases can heal constipation, and also removes hyper-acidity from the stomach. Consequently, stomach illnesses can be cured that other methods have had no success with. Proof Even the most brilliant theories must be supported by incontestable proof if they are to receive acceptance. We have thus striven to have first-rate authorities verify our most important points. We asked the professional chemist, Dr. C. Bischoff to ascertain the safety and oxygen content of our Haemozon. He confirmed that our preparation contained 8.534% of active oxygen, i.e., 5.969 liter for every 100 grams. Moreover, there was an absence of any dangerous ad-mixtures of ingredients. At New York University it was demonstrated that 1 gram of Haemozon killed 2 1/4 million Typhus Bacillus. The University of Vienna, as well as the leading bacteriologists of Germany came to the same conclusions. The proof for the efficacy of oxidation was demonstrated by the following experiment: Methylenblue Experiment If 1/10th of 1 gram of methylenblue is ingested, then after 1 to 2 hours the urine takes on a blue-green color, this color will disappear after 3 to 4 days. However, if the ingestion of the methylenblue and the onset of blue-green urine is followed by ingestion of 2 grams of Haemozon, then the color of the urine is significantly cleared, and a further gram of Haemozon completely removes the blue-green color. The body is unable to perform this oxidation on its own. Hence the urine, while on its way to the kidneys must have come in contact with active oxygen. Thereby we have proof that the oxygen in Haemozon is diffused into the blood and there performs the functions we have already theoretically explained. THE CLINICAL EXPERIMENTS of Dr. Winterberg in Vienna had the following results: Heart activity increased, the pulse became stronger, more regular. Breathing became easier, more regular, deeper. Bowel movements improved, bacteria in the intestines were reduced. The kidneys produced more urine and much less uric acid. Metabolism was significantly stimulated. Various Additional Supportive Factors in Healing The essentials have already been mentioned. As a supportive factor, we would like to state that various diets and individually adapted uses of water have proven themselves useful in promoting healing; they are recommended by our doctor in particular cases. At this time we would like to especially make reference to our oxygen baths, and for which we have prepared a separate pamphlet. Our oxygen baths are made from chemicals and not from compressed oxygen. Doctors have demonstrated that oxygen baths are particularly effective for nerve, heart and kidney diseases, as well as for hardening of the arteries, anemia, jaundice, diabetes and insomnia. Urine Analysis In addition to the probing questions of a doctor, analysis of the urine can provide worthwhile insight into metabolic disorders. Urine is a mirror of the blood and the blood is a mirror of the individual organs. Hence many illnesses of the organs can first be detected in the urine. Blood from the veins receives as much dead tissue-cells as it can carry, as well as all sorts of impurities. These are then carried to the bladder where stomach and intestinal juices, gall residue, uric acid, protein, sugar, etc., are transferred to the urine. By examining the urine, an experienced doctor can make a very good diagnosis of the metabolic disorder as well as the location of that disorder. Under certain circumstances, the doctor can even detect illnesses in their beginning stages. Urinalysis is therefore a most valuable diagnostic tool, as well as a control for our preparations. When scientifically analyzed under a microscope, urine has shown itself to be an indispensable indicator in the causes of our ilnesses. It is for this reason that we have devoted so much time and care to it. Limitations of Oxygen Therapy Like all treatment, there are of course certain limitations on oxygen therapy. There are diseases that are so advanced that they can be neither cured nor improved. There are diseases of so life-threatening a character that they require the constant personal attention of a doctor. In most of these cases there is already severe organ damage. We do not treat these sort of illnesses. Rather, our specialty is metabolic disorders of a chronic nature, i.e., those illnesses that have continuously or periodically plagued a patient, and whose cause is more or less traceable to metabolic disturbances. However, the body must retain enough vitality so that our treatment is able to induce a reaction. Such are, in our experience, the following: Types of Diseases Treatable by Oxygen Therapy First of all, those diseases arising from a retention of uric acid, e.g., gout, rheumatism and its consequences, diseases of the joints (which lead to the destruction of the joints), heart murmurs and infections, scurvy, general anemia and jaundice, blood and kidney diseases, leukemia (the abnormal increase of white blood cells and decrease of red blood cells), chlorosis, haemorrhoids, and diabetes. Secondly, diseases of the nervous system, as for example a general weakness of the nerves, hysteria, cramps, St. Vitus dance, consumption, laming, nerve infections, nerve headaches, vertigo and heart attacks. Then there are the heart diseases, especially heart-nerve diseases, heart muscle weaknesses, and circulatory illnesses. There are the various diseases of the intestinal tract, stomach ulcers, too strong a stomach acid, nervous stomach aches, stomach catarrh and chronic constipation. Also diseases of a different sort, e.g., alcoholism, syphilis, various skin diseases, especially skin eruptions and ulcers (Furunculose), are treatable by oxygen therapy. This list makes no claim to be complete. There are additional diseases that can be treated with oxygen with the best of success. We have restricted ourselves to naming only the most common ones, as the restrictions of space make it impossible for us to list them all here. However, we would like to devote more space to some very prevalent illnesses: Constipation Our preparations are of inestimable worth for chronic constipation of the severest sort. In terms of mildness, promptness and safety, they are unsurpassed. Our medicine is equally effective with prolonged use. Indeed, it increases and strengthens the activity of the intestines, unlike other medications that weaken and irritate. We would like to emphasize this point because a deficient intestinal activity is most often the accompanying sign of a metabolic disorder, indeed, is often the very cause of the disorder. Nerve Diseases These illnesses are often of a psychosomatic nature. However, their physical cause can only develop in a body that has been weakened by metabolic disturbances. The natural resistance of a healthy body is able to ward off the most threatening mental pressures. Diseases of the nerves are particularly difficult to treat because the patient is all too quick and ready to react to the most insignificant and unimportant causes. This uncomfortable situation serves to provide ever-new irritations and emotions that continually sap his strength. According to Dr. Lahmann, the root cause of nerve diseases is to be found in the retention of poisonous substances by the body—in other words, in a disturbed metabolism. Therefore, a rational treatment must seek to remove their cause. The most practical and expedient way of doing this is to increase the intake of oxygen. This has been described in a report by a nerve doctor [to be identified and detailed in a later edition of this booklet, as translation of this material from the original German progresses—ed.]. In addition, the mental health of the patient must be addressed. All his thoughts should take a completely positive direction. For this we give proven suggestions and advice [in a later edition of the material as translation progresses]. The most common forms of nerve diseases are weak nerves (neurasthenia), and the related melancholia, hysteria, also brain, spinal, heart, blood vessel, stomach, intestine and sexual neurasthenia. Additional well-known forms of nervous disorders are rheumatic nervous conditions, especially neuralgia, ischia, St. Vitus dance, epilepsy, and spinal pain. These illnesses can never be treated successfully by symptomatic means. It will be welcome advice for any patient much plagued by nerve disease that increased intake of oxygen can offer him the prospect of again becoming a happy and healthy person. Diseases of the Respiratory Organs The air passages are in a certain sense well-acquainted with oxygen since they come into contact with each breath. Therefore oxygen inhalation can be of beneficial effect in treating them. By this means one can significantly reduce the irritation of a catarrh-inflamed mucus membrane. However, in severe metabolic disorders this has value only as a supportive medicine because the causes themselves themselves lie deeper, viz., in the changes induced in the various organs by toxins (bodily manufactured poisons). Eventually the irritation of the mucus membrane reaches such a point that the body itself tries to expel the irritant. There are many forms of this disease: nose, throat and larynx catarrh, bronchial and lung-tube infections, emphysema, asthma, and tuberculosis; also chronic coughing, vomiting, throat irritation, sniffles, phlegm, fever, chest pains, etc. Lasting relief can only be found when the basic cause of the poisoning of the body is removed. In all cases where organic damage has not yet occurred, increased oxygen intake is the most appropriate treatment. What Doctors Think of Our Treatment We have already described the clinical experiments of Dr. f Winterberg of Vienna. His results have been published in various medical journals. Space permitting, we would like to include some excerpts from unsolicited testimonials of other leading doctors. Insofar as these are based upon their own experiences, they are an unimpeachable proof of the efficacy of our methods.
