OXYGEN THERAPY - Revitalize and detoxify with the healing power of Oxygen  


Oxygen healing therapies are used to provide more oxygen to the body into order to promote healing, detoxification and health.  In addition to the more commonly known uses of oxygen to supplement anyone with breathing difficulties,  there is another way to flood the body with oxygen and create powerful healing reactions otherwise unattainable.  This is achieved through the medical use of Ozone and/or Hydrogen Peroxide.

With medical ozone, a third oxygen atom splits off from a pair of oxygen molecules and is free to react with another "free radical" molecule. When it reacts to free radical molecules such as toxins or pathogens, for example, it will destroy or "oxidize" them. Some oxygen therapies oxygenate the body; others work by oxidation. Ozone does both.

Ozone is generally thought of as poison or "smog" by the media, but this is an inaccurate definition.  Ozone is a clear gas made of three atoms of oxygen, and is formed when oxygen and lightning combine in a thunderstorm or when ultraviolet light interacts with oxygen high in the stratosphere.  Oxygen continually rises to the upper atmosphere where the ozone layer is found. There the sun changes O2 to O3, or ozone. The absorption of UV rays with oxygen to create ozone is how the ozone layer shields us from UV rays harmful effects.  Being heavier than oxygen, the newly created ozone begins to drop back towards the earth where it gives up one atom of oxygen and changes back to O2, purifying our water and air, destroying bacteria, molds, and fungi.  It is in the fresh smell of laundry dried outside, the fresh air at the seashore, or the fresh smell after an lightning storm.  When ozone combines with toxic chemicals in the lower atmosphere, it becomes a part of the hazy brown smog of toxic gases you can see in the sky above some of the major cities in the World.  While ozone itself is simply pure tri-atomic oxygen and has incredibly powerful healing benefits, smog is toxic to the human body.

Medical-grade ozone is produced by passing pure oxygen across either an ultraviolet light source or an electrical arc in an ozone generator . In these reactions, only a small percentage of oxygen (from 1 to 5 percent) is converted to ozone. When ozone is administered to the body, its third unstable oxygen atom readily splits and attaches itself to bacteria, fungi, mold, parasites, and tumors, and in the process of doing this, it oxidizes or destroys them.  The stable oxygen molecule adds extra oxygen to the body and has a higher pH of  7 - 9 which is needed to balance an over-acidic body.  When used properly, ozone is exceptionally safe.  Ozone can be administered by intravenous drip, injections, and topical applications.

Hydrogen peroxide is an unstable liquid made up of two atoms of hydrogen and two atoms of oxygen, easily breaking down into water and oxygen.  When water interacts with ozone in the atmosphere, hydrogen peroxide is produced.  It is found in some of our foods and water, and is produced by cells in our body during an immune response to an infection.  Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizer, killing pathogens on contact.  Most of us are familiar with 3% hydrogen peroxide from the local pharmacy which foams up as it kills bacteria on a small wound.  Besides its disinfectant topical use, medical grade hydrogen peroxide is used orally and intravenously to kill pathogens, most often supervised and administered by a trained health care professional.
