Subject: O3 OZONE - for Chlorosis Anemia

The period of my observations extended over five months. Altogether this report embraces 22 cases. The salient points in the cases treated with OZONE inhalations are as follows:

Case 4. Chlorosis ant Anemia. E.V., 11 years old. Extreme anemia Cold skin. No appetite. Daily headache. No marked improvement after iron and arsenic. Vital capacity 90. Oxyhemoglobin 7%. OZONE inhalation twice daily for 15 minutes, for two weeks. Followed by a very great improvement. 11% oxyhemoglobin. Vital capacity 120. Warm skin. Good appetite. No headache.

Case 5. E.H., 22 years old. Oxyhemoglobin 8%. General condition and treatment as in case 4. After two weeks daily OZONE inhalations, 10% Oxyhemoglobin and general condition very good.

Case 6. Severe anemia since birth in a sickly looking and emaciated girl of 11 years. 5% oxyhemoglobin. Skin and mucous membranes white. General condition bad. No improvement after change of climate and iron, arsenic, phosphorus, etc. OZONE inhalations, 3 times daily for 10 weeks. Great change noticeable. Good color, warm skin, good appetite, no headache, great ambition to work and study. 10% oxyhemoglobin.

Case 7. Chlorosis. K. W., 19 years old. Menses acant, every 8 to 10 weeks. All other symptoms of great anemia present. Duration of illness 4 years. 8% oxyhemoglobin. OZONE inhalations daily for 10 weeks, during which time the menses appeared twice at proper intervals. 3% increases in oxyhemoglobin.

Case 8. Chlorosis. C. B., 20 years old. Much like case 7. No noteworthy improvement after iron. 8% oxyhemoglobin. OZONE inhalations daily for three months. Complete cure. 3% gain in oxyhemoglobin.

Case 9. Chronic Bronchitis and Great Anemia. A. A., 40 years old. 8% oxyhemoglobin. After daily OZONE inhalations for 2 months, great improvement in regards to anemia.

Case 10. Chlorosis and Nervous Prostration. E. S., 241 years old. Daily inhalations of OZONE for 4 weeks increased the oxyhemoglobin 3% and made further treatment unnecessary. No relapse after 2 months.

Case 11. Anemia and Chronic Naso-pharyngeal Catarrh. A. R., 20 years old. Oxyhemoglobin 9%. Cured after inhaling OZONE for 2 months and ended local treatment of Naso-pharynx. 3% gain in oxyhemoglobin.

Case 12. Chlorosis of long standing. E. K., 22 years old. OZONE inhalation three months. All symptoms removed or much improved. 3% gain in oxyhemoglobin.

Case 13. Anemia in Tuberculosis of Cutis. M. C., 22 years old. Unable to attend to business. No effect from usual drugs. After three months OZONE inhalations is in excellent general condition, but the skin affection remains stationary. 2% increase in oxyhemoglobin.

Case 14. Extreme anemia from chronic lead poisoning. After 50 OZONE inhalations oxyhemoglobin increased 3%. No relapse after two months.

Pertussis: Seven cases: Children ranging from 18 months to 7 years. Each case well marked and of average severity. Two to three inhalations given daily. All cases discharged alter two weeks, except one which lasted four weeks.

The improvement became manifest after the first three or four OZONE inhalations, as regards the severity and frequency of the spasmodic attacks. The children slept better during the night after OZONE inhalations, than before the treatments, and the youngest children under observation usually went to sleep after each ozone inhalation. (Whooping Cough)

CONCLUSIONS: Daily Inhalations of Ozone Increases the Quantity of Oxyhemoglobin in the Blood from 1% to 4% in a Short Time.

In PertussiS: OZONE inhalations have a very distinct curative effect as regards the duration and severity of the disease.

In Chlorosis and anemia: Ozone inhalations are exceedingly valuable from a therapeutic stand point and give better and prompter results than any other form of medication.

Atmospheric medication is readily secured, making this probably a valuable procedure in the treatment of Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever and other infectious diseases. I am convinced that it would be a value in Pernicious Anemia.

The anemia children who came under treatment were very sick, especially the one case I referred to, in which everything had been tried, and it was really remarkable how soon this child picked up and became better in every way after inhaling OZONE. I was thoroughly surprised at the result. In "Report to the American Society:" Boston, Mass.

"If less favorable results have been obtained by some experimenters, their lack of success arises not from any failing on the part of OZONE, but from the use of faulty apparatus or from defective application. The treatment would be rendered complete by maintaining an ozonized atmosphere in the patient's room."

"That Ozone is harmless, we have demonstrated over a period of many years in patients of all ages. By its soothing, quieting effect on the nervous system, it relieves Insomnia. It is especially indicated in Asthma and all diseases of the Respiratory Organs."

The idea of using Ozone inhalation in the treatment of cases of poison gas was first suggested to me by long experience of this treatment in diseases of the air passages, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, bronchientacis, etc., and also of cavities in the lungs and in empyena; by this most successful results were obtained.

I considered poison gas as a producer of what may be called a mechanical Pneumonia, as opposed to the more ordinary forms resulting from cold causes etc., and requires the same treatment.

2. When prepared from atmospheric air, with proper ozonizers, and care fully administered, OZONE is absolutely NON-IRRITATING ... If these precautions are not observed, it may produce irritation instead of relief.

Ozone should be inhaled directly from the ozonizers air-tight chambers, such as are used in hospitals for the treatment of tubercular cases, are cumbersome and inconvenient, and not suitable for the advanced front.

Ozone is a very evanescent body and soon loses its power and becomes oxygen again, and for these reasons should be inhaled direct from the ozonizer.

It must be remembered that the sooner Ozone is inhaled, even though for a short time at first, the better the result will be.

3. It stimulates the heart's action and reduces its intermittence when this symptom shows.

4. In many cases of gassing, the mental condition of the patient is affected, they become dull, stupid and apathetic.

Case No. 1: "October 15. Pneumonia and Asthma patient 72 years old was transmitted to the hospital by ambulance. Temp. 105.2, pulse and respiration way above normal at arrival. The case was desperate and the doctor decided to place the patient in the air conditioned OZONE ROOM.

During the next 6 days, temperature, pulse and respiration dropped gradually so that on Oct. 21, the temp. was 97.4, pulse 70, and respiration 23. Patient was discharged from Hospital, October 25.

Case No. 2: "Patient admitted to the hospital Feb. 3, suffering from DOUBLE PNEUMONIA and placed in a private room. Feb. 5, his temp. reached 105.6, pulse 128, respiration 50. This desperate case was transferred Feb. 5, at 8 p.m. to the air conditioned OZONE ROOM.

Within ONE hour, temp., pulse and respiration began to drop and the patient walked OUT OF THE HOSPITAL on February 14.

Case No. 3: "A double pneumonia case became critical on July 1, at 7:30 p.m. when his temp. reached 103.8. pulse 140, respiration 58. Within 45 minutes after he was transferred to the air conditioned OZONE ROOM, his temp. and respiration began to drop rapidly.

On July 7, his temp. was 98.6, pulse and respiration normal. Patient was discharged from hospital, July 12.

These are just a few cases which prove the power of OZONE used in conjunction with properly conditioned air to be of help to the medical profession. In "Air Conditioning and Ozone Facts"

During the influenza epidemic in St. Louis, the most critical and advanced cases were transferred to an open air school, which made for high percentage of mortality.

In one particular ward, experiments were made with ozonized air on cases approaching or at the crises period of the diseases where patients were unable to inhale at all,

(N.B. From the brink of death ... these patients began to recover due to the (O3) ozone air).

Two schools were then used for an experiment, one with OZONIZED air and another with ordinary air. Both schools contained approximately the same number of rooms. The following cases of sickness were observed and tabulated:

Comparing the total days absent we find that in the school where OZONIZED air was used, the school children were absent, due to the foregoing cases of sickness, 475 school days, while in the school where ordinary air was circulated by means of the ventilating system, the school children were absent a total of 1,098 school days.

Thousands of lives would be saved every year if homes and schools were equipped with apparatus for the circulation of Ozone. Injected with the air of the building to the extent of one part of Ozone to one million parts of air, it effects approximately 100% purification.

In five years that Ozone has been used in the Public Schools of St. Louis, TUBERCULOSIS CASES HAVE BEEN REDUCED 50%, ALSO OTHER DISEASES HAVE BEEN MATERIALLY REDUCED. In "Report to National Warm Air, Heating and Ventilating Association"

Prolonged ozone exposure in an allergic airway disease model:

Adaptation of airway responsiveness and airway remodeling

Abstract

Background

Short-term exposure to high concentrations of ozone has been shown to increase airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR). Because the changes in AHR and airway inflammation and structure after chronic ozone exposure need to be determined, the goal of this study was to investigate these effects in a murine model of allergic airway disease.

Methods

We exposed BALB/c mice to 2 ppm ozone for 4, 8, and 12 weeks. We measured the enhanced pause (Penh) to methacholine and performed cell differentials in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. We quantified the levels of IL-4 and IFN-γ in the supernatants of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluids using enzyme immunoassays, and examined the airway architecture under light and electron microscopy.

Results

The groups exposed to ozone for 4, 8, and 12 weeks demonstrated decreased Penh at methacholine concentrations of 12.5, 25, and 50 mg/ml, with a dose-response curve to the right of that for the filtered-air group. Neutrophils and eosinophils increased in the group exposed to ozone for 4 weeks compared to those in the filtered-air group.

The ratio of IL-4 to INF-γ increased significantly after exposure to ozone for 8 and 12 weeks compared to the ratio for the filtered-air group. The numbers of goblet cells, myofibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells showed time-dependent increases in lung tissue sections from the groups exposed to ozone for 4, 8, and 12 weeks.

Conclusion

These findings demonstrate that the increase in AHR associated with the allergic airway does not persist during chronic ozone exposure, indicating that airway remodeling and adaptation following repeated exposure to air pollutants can provide protection against AHR.

In many discussions on the properties and uses of Ozone, it is stated that Ozone is a toxic substance, that is harmful to the mucous membrane, that it is an irritant or that it is a poisonous gas. These statements are based upon the results of experiments which were carried on by workers who were unaware of the true nature of the gas they were investigating.

However, recent authoritative investigation have established that pure Ozone is non-toxic even in concentrations as great as 20 to 50 parts per million of air. Ozone containing oxides of nitrogen, on the other hand, can be toxic in higher concentrations such as 1.5 parts per million.

"Although it has not yet been definitely shown why Ozone containing HIGH nitrogen oxides can be toxic ...

... IT HAS BEEN DEFINITELY ESTABLISHED THAT OZONE FREE OR LOW OF NITROGEN OXIDES IS COMPARATIVELY NON-TOXIC." CONFIRMATION WAS MADE IN 1942 by HILL, A PHYSICIAN SPECIALIZING IN INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE.

The Hill / Aeberley Study is where the Poor Science Began ... and Deception Continued

In 1921, Hill and Aeberly published a series of articles reporting on tests concerning the effects of Ozone, chemically, physically, and physiologically. As a result of these tests a toxic limit for Ozone was established at 1 part per million. It was also stated that 20 parts per million with an exposure of two hours might prove fatal to human beings.

After noting the work of Thorp ... Hill, realizing that oxides of HIGH levels of nitrogen had been present in his previous test, and decided to re-run the test on an identical basis to determine if pure Ozone had higher toxic limits.

"PURE OZONE IS NOT POISONOUS IN ANY SENSE OF THE WORD as it breaks down in contact with the mucous membrane and only oxygen remains."
