13 Major Effects of Ozone On The Human Body
as reported by Dr. Frank Shallenberger
Considered one of the leading authorities on medical ozone, Dr. Shallenberger
has done important work to support the hypothesis that ozone can have long-term
positive effects on AIDS. He has also conducted workshops on the proper
application of medical ozone at an International Ozone Symposium in Texas. He
successfully treats patients with medical ozone via Major Autohemotherapy. The
thirteen physiological effects are list below and are accompanied by a brief
explanation.
1. Ozone stimulates the production of white blood cells. These cells
protect the body from viruses, bacteria, fungi and cancer. Deprived of oxygen,
these cells malfunction. They fail to eliminate invaders and even turn against
normal, healthy cells (allergic reactions). Ozone significantly raises the
oxygen levels in the blood for long periods after ozone administration; as a
result, allergies have a tendency to become desensitized.
2. Interferon levels are significantly increased. Interferons are globular
proteins. Interferons orchestrate every aspect of the immune system. Some
interferons are produced by cells infected by viruses. These interferons warn
adjacent, healthy cells of the likelihood of infection; in turn, they are
rendered nonpermissive host cells. In other words, they inhibit viral
replication. Other interferons are produced in the muscles, connective tissue
and by white blood cells. Levels of gamma interferon can be elevated 400-900%
by ozone. This interferon is involved in the control of phagocytic cells that
engulf and kill pathogens and abnormal cells. Interferons are FDA approved for
the treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B and C, Genital Warts (caused by
Papillomavirus, Hairy-cell Leukemia, Karposi's Sarcoma, Relapsing-Remitting
Multiple Sclerosis and Chronic Granulomatous Disease. Interferons are currently
in clinical trials for Throat Warts (caused by Papillomavirus), HIV infection,
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Leukemia, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, Colon tumors,
Kidney tumors, Bladder Cancer, Malignant Melanoma, Basal Cell Carcinoma and
Leishmaniasis. While levels induced by ozone remain safe, interferon levels
that are FDA appoved (and in clinical trials) are extremely toxic.
3. Ozone stimulates the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor. TNF is
produced by the body when a tumor is growing. The greater the mass of the tumor
the more tumor necrosis factor is produced (up to a point). When a tumor has
turned metastatic, cancer cells are breaking off and being carried away by the
blood and lymph. This allows the tumor to take up residence elsewhere in the
body; or in other words, divide its forces. These lone cancer cells have little
chance of growing due to the TNF produced to inhibit the original tumor. When
the tumor is removed surgically TNF levels drop dramatically and new tumors
emerge from seemingly healthy tissue.
4. Ozone stimulates the secretion of IL-2. Interluekin-2 is one of the
cornerstones of the immune system. It is secreted by T-helpers. In a process
known as autostimulation, the IL-2 then binds to a receptor on the T-helper and
causes it to produce more IL-2. Its main duty is to induce lymphocytes to
differentiate and proliferate, yielding more T-helpers, T-suppressors,
cytotoxic T's, T-delayed's and T-memory cells.
5. Ozone kills most bacteria at low concentrations. The metabolism of most
bacteria is on average one-seventeenth as efficient as our own. Because of
this, most cannot afford to produce disposable anti-oxidant enzymes such as
catalase. Very few types of bacteria can live in an environment composed of
more than two percent ozone.
6. Ozone is effective against all types of fungi. This includes systemic
Candida albicans, athletes foot, molds, mildews, yeasts and even mushrooms.
7. Ozone fights viruses in a variety of ways. As discussed above, ozone
also goes after the viral particles directly. The part of the virus most
sensitive to oxidation is the "reproductive structure". This is how the virions
enter the cell. With this structure inactivated, the virus is essentially
"dead". Cells already infected have a natural weakness to ozone. Due to the
metabolic burden of the infection the cells can no longer produce the enzymes
necessary to deal with the ozone and repair the cell.
8. Ozone is antineoplastic. This means that ozone inhibits the growth of
new tissue because rapidly dividing cells shift their priorities away from
producing the enzymes needed to protect themselves from the ozone. Cancer cells
are rapidly dividing cells and are inhibited by ozone.
9. Ozone oxidizes arterial plaque. It breaks down the nnnn plaque involved
in both Arteriosclerosis and Arthrosclerosis. This means ozone has a tendency
to clear blockages of large and even smaller vessels. This allows for better
tissue oxygenation in deficient organs.
10. Ozone increases the flexibility and elasticity of red blood cells. When
one views a red blood cell under a microscope, it looks like a disc. In the
capillaries, where they pick-up (lungs) and release (tissue) oxygen, these
discs stretch out into the shape of an oval or umbrella. This aids their
passage through the tiny vessels and makes the exchange of gas more efficient.
The increase in flexibility of the RBC's allows oxygen levels to stay elevated
for days, even weeks after treatment with ozone.
11. Ozone accelerates the Citric Acid Cycle. Also known as the Kreb's Cycle
or TCA Cycle, this is a very important step in the glycolisis of carbohydrate
for energy. This takes place in the mitochonria of the cell. Most of the energy
stored in glucose (sugar) is converted in this pathway.
12. Ozone makes the anti-oxidant enzyme system more efficient.
13. Ozone degrades petrochemicals. These chemicals have a potential to
place a great burden on the immune system. They also worsen and even cause
allergies and are detrimental to your long-term health.
