In 1925 Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering the relationship between oxygen and cancer. Warburg discovered that "Cancer has only one prime cause. The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of normal oxygen respiration of body cells by an anaerobic (oxygen-less) cell respiration." All healthy cells in the body burn glucose as fuel through a process called oxidation. When cells are deprived of their normal oxygen supply, they have no choice but to process glucose using the inferior method, fermentation, which occurs in the absence of oxygen. During normal cell respiration using oxygen, the cells give off carbon dioxide; during fermentation, the cells give off lactic acid. The limited amount of carbon dioxide is a crucial part of the disease process, because hemoglobin--which carries oxygen in the bloodstream--cannot give off oxygen without first receiving carbon dioxide. Not only is the damaged cell deprived of its oxygen nutrients, it is also poisoned by the resulting toxic pathogens.
Another role played by oxygen in healthy cells is the production of a tough enzyme coating around the cell which protects the cell from invading disease-causing agents such as bacteria and viruses. Oxygen-starved cells can't produce enough enzymes to form that protective cell wall, leaving the cell susceptible to destructive invaders. Viruses are especially problematic, since they can live indefinitely (bacteria have a definite life span). Viruses are not cells and do not have the ability to reproduce; they consist of genetic material. Viruses look for weakened cells that they can invade then use and "reprogram" to constantly reproduce more virus material. The metabolic waste of the virus soon overwhelms the body faster than the body is able to eliminate the waste.
All cells are pre-programmed to either continually replicate themselves or commit suicide (apoptosis). The purpose of apoptosis is to protect the rest of the body from dying or damaged cells, but sometimes instead of self-destructing, damaged cells will continue to reproduce. Normal cells have a natural life span that will end the tendency to continue replicating. A consequence of being damaged is the cell can lose the ability to limit its own growth, and the abnormal reproduction continues out of control. This pathogenic growth will go on forever as long as the cells have an oxygen deficient environment in which to thrive. The term for all cases of cellular overgrowth arising from inadequate cellular respiration is called cancer.
There can be many reasons for oxygen deficiency in body cells: environmental toxins and chemicals that poison cells, preventing oxygen uptake; blocked ducts or glands and inefficient movement of lymph fluid; cell waste materials that collect in tissues instead of being eliminated from the body. No matter the cause, when the understanding is reached that the fundamental cause of cancer is oxygen depletion, the reversal of cancer becomes obvious: flood the body with oxygen.
Dr. Frank Shallenburger determined that the real problem with cancer isn't necessarily that there isn't enough oxygen available to the cells, but that the cell mitochondria (the cell's energy factories) aren't able to use the available oxygen efficiently. Ozone treatment doesn't only deliver more oxygen to the cells, it also stimulates the mitochondria to use the oxygen more efficiently.
We have all experienced ozone, most likely without knowing it. Think about the fresh clean smell in the air after a thunderstorm, the invigorating smell when ocean waves or waterfalls are near, and even the cold crisp smell when sunlight shines on fresh snow...all of those smells are the same thing: ozone. Ozone is produced naturally in all of these scenarios; ozone cleanses the atmosphere, and it has the same cleansing effect in our bodies.
If ozone is so good, why does it get a bad rap from weather forecasters? When sunlight, moisture, and temperature meet the chemical molecules in pollution, atmospheric oxygen is transformed into ozone, so the more pollution there is during the right weather conditions, the more ozone there is. However, without ozone, the pollution levels would make our cities uninhabitable!
Oxygen (O2) and ozone (O3) are both gases. Ozone has an extra third atom which makes it electrically imbalanced, and because of this imbalance, it is constantly seeking other imbalanced charges to which it can give its extra atom. All diseased cells are also imbalanced, so ozone and diseased cells (as well as viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc.) have a fatal attraction and find each other. Ozone is a very targeted cancer therapy: it selectively kills cancer cells and only kills cancer cells--it has no effect on healthy cells. Radiation and chemotherapy, on the other hand, indiscriminately kill all cells. When ozone is directed to diseased areas, cancer cells are forced into apoptosis and die off. Ozone has been shown to kill cancer cells on contact. Ozone heals by inactivating bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, and protozoa; it stimulates oxygen metabolism; and it activates the immune system.
Ozone is the most powerful and fastest oxidizing agent on earth. It would take 3,000-10,000 molecules of chlorine to equal the activity of one molecule of ozone; ozone works 3,500 times faster than chlorine--it only takes 10 seconds to kill 99% of bacteria, fungi, yeast, mold, and viruses!
Ozone has proven powerfully effective in fighting many more conditions than cancer alone including liver disease, auto-immune disease, heart disease, allergies, diabetes, Lyme disease, macular degeneration, viral diseases, rheumatism/arthritis, geriatric conditions, SARS and AIDS. Significant results have also been achieved by the use of ozone in chronic infectious diseases, orthopedics, and dentistry. Machine-made ozone is exactly the same as atmospheric ozone.
There are many different forms of administering ozone including IV, direct injection into a tumor, ozone sauna, and enema/douche to name a few. One of my treatments is autohemotherapy, in which my blood is drawn through an IV, mixed with medical grade ozone, then infused back into my body (10 cycles of this constitutes one treatment).
I also have daily hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatments which use O2 to saturate the body with oxygen, making more oxygen available to my cells.
If this knowledge has been available since the 1920s, why aren't oxygen therapies commonly used in medical treatment today? The answer is simple, but sad. Oxygen is free, and the equipment is pretty inexpensive. Oxygen cannot be patented, so there is little money in it for the medical industry. Much more money is made peddling toxic, man-made, chemical treatments that often require more man-made prescriptions and medical interventions to manage all the side effects.
