what comes after the rashing?

October 3, 2004

I was just wondering. I started doing the ozone sauna about a year

ago and when I first did it I rashed big time. My doctors had me do

the saunas without ozone a few times and then recommended Liquid

Needle-light signal detox soaks which I did. For anyone who has never

done these you will typically notice the first time that you get in a

tub with this product that you will have a very sticky film come out

of you almost as soon as you get in. [not everyone does this, but

then not everyone rashes in o3 sauna]

The sticky stuff is fat soluable toxins coming out of your skin which

must then be scrubbed off. I spoke with several other patients using

the soaks who got the sticky film and we all had a similiar

experience. Namely, we started out getting a thick film of sticky

toxins in our initial soak and then each progressive soak the

stickiness got less and less. In fact, the first time I did the soak

I was convinced that the gooey stuff that came out of me was in the

product itself, and when I got out of the tub I pored out a little on

my hand to confirm this and was amazed to find that there was no

stickiness to the product at all. Eventually if you keep doing the

soaks this post soak sticky film will go away, proving that the stuff

was coming out of your body.

So anyhow, I moved and wasn't able to do the o3 sauna for about eight

months, but I continues with the soaks. When I recently started doing

the sauna again a few months ago, I had noticably reduced rash. In

fact on my abdomen, the place where I used to rash severely, I didn't

rash at all. This allowed me to stay in the sauna longer than I had

before and cup much longer on my abdomen. Interestingly though, I had

some powerful neuro and other symptoms not to long after resuming the

o3 sauna. Symptoms that I didn't get previously when I was doing the

o3 sauna in Dallas, which I did about 11 times in Dallas before I

moved, rashing each time.

Now my understanding based on what my Doctors there told me and what

I have read, is that the rash is caused by oxidative stress to the

skin due to the the toxins being zapped. More toxins, more rashing

and the only way through it is to keep at it until you get get

cleaned out. My question is this though: If you have the rash from

each o3 sauna does that mean that much of the ozone isn't going all

that deep in the tissues. That it's being used up on the toxins that

are right there in the skin? And that once you stop rashing that this

means that more of the ozone is going systemic, and oxidizing toxins

that are more deeply located? If so that would explain why I got more

significant neuro and other symptoms AFTER I stopped rashing than

when I rashed. Of course, as I said, the reduced rash allowed for

more cupping and time in the sauna which also could factor in there.

Whatever the case, I backed off of the sauna in response to those

symptoms and stepped up my support therapies and am getting over

those neuro and other symptoms. One more question. If you do the o3

sauna and just allow the funnel to hang down and don't cup at all,

compared to cupping the whole treatment, does that significantly

effect the amount of ozone that you are absorbing? Thanks for any

insights that anyone has on these things. Jack

Dear Jack,

Ozone works by proximity, so it will clean the surface of the skin, then

the fat layer under the skin, and then move deeper into the tissues.

The neuro symptoms you refer to could be mercury moving into the brain,

possibly.

When you use the funnel, you are concentrating the ozone in a particular

area,

as well as protecting it from the heat.

If the funnel is hanging down in the sauna, you are losing some to heat.

Also, since

ozone is heavier than air, you are losing more yet, ozone that is hitting

the bottom of

the cabinet.

That is why we put the input fitting high on the door on the sauna cabinet.

I have seen

the rash form on a person's body in a triangular shape starting from their

upper right

(where the ozone comes into the cabinet) down and across the chest and

abdomen.

This was a very interesting illustration of the path of the ozone coming

into the cabinet.

Best of Health!
