Oxygen therapy
Oxygen therapy is a form of treatment based upon the premise that all harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi (e.g. flu, colds, AIDS, candida albicans and cancerous cells) are anaerobic - they can only thrive in low oxygen environments. Conversely, to maintain good health, the human body requires a rich supply of oxygen. The greater oxygen levels in our bodies, the more resistant we become to viruses and harmful bacteria. This is the principle upon which oxygen therapy is based.
Ozone treatment
Ozone treatment involves forcing oxygen through a metal tube carrying a 300 volt charge. A pint of blood is then drawn from the patient and placed into an infusion bottle. Ozone is then forced into the bottle and mixed so that the ozone molecules dissolve in the blood and, in so doing, destroy all lipid-envelope virus and many disease organisms, but leave the blood unharmed. The treated blood is then returned to the patient. It is claimed that the treated blood transfers its virucidal properties to the rest of the patient’s blood as it disperses.
