Ozone facts

[Guest guest]

I have been given a great opportunity to educate the list about the medical uses of ozone, given the posts by Eileen that are designed to scare those who are interested in the medical application of this therapy. There is an abundance of positive scientific literature available for those who are seeking information about its uses. I encourage you to read for yourself. The facts that I present to you here are from:

Oxygen Healing Therapies for Optimum Health and Vitality by iel Altman, Foreward by H. Farr, MB, PhD, Nobel Prize nominee in Medicine, 1993 (Copyright 1995), and,

The Story of Ozone by PlasmaFire International, 10th Edition, 1996

It has been estimated that over 10 million people have been given bio-oxidative therapies over the past seventy years to treat over forty different diseases, including heart and blood vessel diseases, diseases of the lungs, infectious diseases, and immune related disorders.

Here are just a few of the diseases that have been treated with ozone and hydrogen peroxide with varying degrees of success:

Heart and Blood Vessel Diseases :(Cardiac arrhythmias, cardiovascular disease, cerebral vascular disease, gangrene, peripheral vascular disease, Raynaud's disease, vascular and cluster headaches to name a few)

Pulmonary diseases: (Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis, Emphysema to name a few)

Infectious diseases: (Acute and chronic viral infections, chronic unresponsive bacterial infections, Epstein Barr virus, CFS, Herpes, HIV-related infections, influenza, Parasitic infections, Systemic chronic candidiasis)

Immune disorders: (Diabetes, hypersensitive reactions, environmental and universal reactors, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid arthritis)

Other diseases: (Alzheimer's disease, cancers of the blood and lymph nodes, Parkinson's disease to name a few)

Today, after 125 YEARS OF USAGE, ozone therapy is a recognized modality in Germany, Italy, France, Russia, Romania, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Israel, Japan, Singapore, Cuba, Mexico and seven US states. British Columbia, Canada now has over 40 doctors using ozone therapy. Great Britain is also now testing the use of ozone therapy.

Recently, the FDA ( Patty's Note: we know how they work....)and the 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 science.

Ozone is a natural remedy.

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. Ozone as a medical treatment was allowed to develop in Europe, but was suppressed in the United States after 1933.

Ozone is an elemental form of oxygen occurring naturally in the Earth's atmosphere. It is created in nature when ultraviolet energy causes oxygen atoms to temporarily recombine in groups of three. (O3) It is often created by thunder and lightning. After a thunderstorm, the air seems to smell like freshly mown hay because of the ozone generated by the storm.

Ozone surrounds the Earth at an altitude of between 50,000 and 100,000 feet. When it occurs in the upper atmosphere, ozone forms a protective layer that absorbs much of the sun's ultraviolet radiation. If it were not for the ozone layer, the survival of animal and plant life on this planet would be impossible. The depletion of the ozone layer by the use of chloroflourocarbons (CFC's)--released into the atmosphere by refrigerators, air conditioners, and aerosol containers--has become a grave concern to scientists and physicians the world over.

In the lower atmosphere, ozone combines with hydrocarbons (like carbon dioxide) and nitrogen oxide in vehicular exhaust and other sources, creating photochemical smog. As a result, new and often highly corrosive pollutants are formed. The effects of ozone-laden smog have been linked to acid rain, a variety of lung-related diseases, and the oxidation of buildings and monuments.

Many people believe that ozone is toxic because ozone is associated with these reactions. Yet the ozone index published in the newspapers and announced during the evening weather report is only an assay for estimating how much TOXIC NITROUS OXIDE AND HYDROCARBONS are present in the atmosphere. As a powerful oxidizer, ozone actually helps clean the atmosphere of hydrogen monoxide, nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide and dozens of other dangerous compounds. Rather than warn of the dangers of breathing ozone only, weather reporters should focus more on breathing these other and far more dangerous elements of smog, formed primarily by vehicle exhause and factory emissions.

(Patty's note: So you see, it is not the ozone that is the culprit here, it is the chemicals man has put in the air that combine with it)

I hope this has helped.....more to come!
