Ozone, God's Gift to Humanity -

Booklet published in 1951, 42 pages of basic info about different applications for ozone including the medical use of ozone - information prepared by a forum of 35 doctors and scientists (27 from U.S.A. / 2 from Germany / 2 from France / 2 from England and 2 from Argentina) Cost of the booklet - 30cents.

Unfortunately, we did not find No.1 and No.2.

I did plan to post it on the web but I did not have a time to retype it. Dave from Ozone & Oxygen Therapy Area offered his help, therefore I did photocopy the contents of the booklet and mailed them to him.

Over the next couple of weeks Dave will post an article a day from this booklet on his web site and I will include them into our web site as well. Please remember that these articles are from 1951, but some 45 years later, are still great reading!

Dave, thank you.

Subject: OZONE - for destroying Odors

ERADICATION OF OBJECTIONABLE ODORS

"Ozone destroys all odors that are present. It does not merely mask them. The destruction of odors is impossible when air is circulated only, or when oxygen is used. This fact has been proven in cold storage warehouses, where all kinds and any food products are stored. Odors are not present regardless how strong they might be, or where they may originate, if only low concentrations of Ozone is used."

OZONE HAS A STRONG PENETRATING ODOR WHICH IS PERCEPTIBLE WHEN IT IS PRESENT IN THE ATMOSPHERE IN CONCENTRATIONS AS DILUTE AS ONE PART IN 100 MILLION PARTS OF AIR BY VOLUME.

The effect of Ozone was thought in the past to be a masking action but more recently the tendency is to hold that it is purely an oxidizing process. Most odors encountered in ventilation problems result from hydrocarbon compounds suspended in the atmosphere in minute quantities as the result of human or animal respiration and from various organic processes. THESE HYDROCARBONS ARE IMMEDIATELY OXIDIZED UPON COMING IN CONTACT WITH OZONE, THE RESULTING PRODUCTS BEING WATER AND CARBON DIOXIDE, BOTH ODORLESS. This process is effective in completely removing the scent of odors, if the reaction is complete, which requires that the Ozone be in such a manner as to insure its even distribution throughout the air.

Subject: OZONE - for Monoxide Poisoning

"Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, odorless and almost colorless gas. The poisonous action of this dangerous gas depends on the fact that it has over 200 times as much affinity for the hemoglobin of the blood than oxygen. Formed by burning gasoline, oil, gas, coal an other combustible material with an in sufficient supply of oxygen, this gas is dangerous to health. It attacks mostly without warning, and the victim in a great many cases, if he becomes aware is too weak to escape. With these facts in mind tests were conducted with various devices de signed to reduce the carbon monoxide content of the air in garages. NONE OF THESE WERE AS EFFECTIVE AS OZONE. OZONE UNITES WITH THIS POISONOUS GAS AND RENDERS IT HARMLESS.

Oxygen O2 cannot exert the same action on the carbon monoxide as Ozone 03. Ozone no doubt combines with a greater amount of carbon monoxide-thus forming carbon dioxide, which is expelled during the process of respiration. For this reason the usual headaches are eliminated when Ozone is used in ventilating garages.

Poisoning of air by carbon monoxide

1 part of carbon monoxide to 10,000 parts of air-no effect noticed
2 parts of carbon monoxide to 10,000 parts of air-mild poisoning
6 parts of carbon monoxide to 10,000 parts of air-perceptible poisoning

Subject: OZONE - for oxidation of exhalations from the Lungs and Skin.

"Another important application of OZONE which has made great progress recently is for the purification of the air of rooms and enclosed places. It is now recognized that the bad effects of the close air of crowded rooms etc. is not due to the excess of carbonic acid or of moisture present, but to TRACES OF VARIOUS ORGANIC EXHALATIONS COMING FROM THE LUNGS AND SKINS OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS PRESENT. These traces of organic matter are readily oxidized by Ozone, as to be harmless, and even beneficial when breathed. It has been found that the introduction of small quantities of Ozone into close air has been the result of removing stuffiness and unpleasant effects, and making the air pleasant and invigorating."

Large numbers of installations have been put into houses, hospitals, theatres and other public buildings and the process has just been adopted on a large scale for the purification of the Central London Tube Railway. It has also been adopted with advantage in cold storage houses, slaughter houses, and factories where unpleasant smelling work is being carried on, for deodorizing generally and in Paris, in connection with the disaffection of clothing.

Subject: OZONE - for Gas Poisoning

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.

The principal effects of Ozone are:

1. as a complete germicide
2. a strong factor in the formation of oxyhemoglobin and
3. a powerful stimulant to the heart.
When prepared from atmospheric air, with proper ozonizers, and care fully administered, it 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.

Ozone should be thus inhaled from 10 to 15 minutes at each application. The number of applications being dependent on

1. the severity of the case
2. the toleration of it by the patient and
3. the relief afforded.
It must be remembered that the sooner Ozone is inhaled, even though for a short time at first, the better the result will be.

THE OBSERVED EFFECTS OF OZONE IN GASSED CASES ARE:

1. It relieves the cough, dyspones and pain.
2. It assists the expulsion of the glutinous mucous from the air passage.
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. OZONE RELIEVES AND BANISHES THESE CONDITIONS.

Subject: OZONE - for Pneumonia

Let me quote a few cases on record:

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.

Subject: OZONE - Indispensable in Schools

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 able to inhale at all, they WERE AT ONCE RELIEVED AND SUCCESSFULLY CARRIED OVER THE CRISIS.

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:

CONDITION	OZONIZED AIR	ORDINARY AIR

Tonsilitis  		13		57
Sore Throat		24		60
Colds			46		64
Headache		9		66
Stomachache		0		25
Earache			1		15
Toothache		0		20
Indigestion		0		9
Fever			1		49
The Grippe		0		6
Pneumonia		0		4      

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.

Subject: OZONE - for Rheumatic Pains

We have had the opportunity of treating with real success a large number of rheumatic patients with Ozone therapy. Many of these patients had retrogressed under other treatments. For two years, Professor Dr. T. A. Chamorro tried the effects of Ozone in diverse illnesses. In each of these cases Ozone provided a temporary analgesic in the painful areas of the body (see: "More experiments with Ozone in child birth and gynecology" by Dr. T. A. Chamorro, La Semana Medica.)

What is the action of Ozone on rheumatism? Why is it analgesic? It is difficult to determine its true action for its introduction into the organism destroys it, and opposed to other pain-relieving agents (of complex chemical compositions) it does not undergo great transformations in the body which would permit the study of intermediate states; however, Ozone is O3, and decomposes into atomic oxygen, a normal element of the body. Its behavior is that of nascent atomic oxygen which has acquired a large amount of radioactive energy, accumulated during the time of its production in the generating apparatus.

Does the Ozone act through its oxidizing and radioactive properties? These properties tend to oxidize the intermediate products of metabolism; however, there exists a factor which contradicts this theory. At times the analgesic effect is almost instantaneous, more frequently when the subcutaneous method is used in the "locus dolenti." There is a direct action on the sensitive "filetes" IN THE SKIN IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE OZONE WHOSE DIFFUSIBILITY IN THE CELLULAR TISSUE IS QUITE MARKED.

Leaving to one side its pharmaco-dynamic action, we will enumerate that which happens to the patient upon the injection of Ozone gas. There is a perfect tolerance of doses of from 150 to 450 cc. The only vexation reported was a sensation of distention, depending on the region injected, the elasticity of the skin, and the amount of cellular tissue under the skin. This was accompanied by a sensation of warmth varying with the concentration of Ozone.

The distension and warmth disappear in a few minutes, leaving an agreeable analgesic sensation, elasticity in the infiltrated zone, in neighboring area, and also in regions of inervation from the nerve near the injection. The duration of the initial improvement, which permits almost immediate physiological use of the injected area in variable hours to days, and when the pain returns it is lessened.

In all the cases we have observed that the patients reappear at consecutively greater time intervals. At the beginning they come back two or three times a week and rapidly lengthen the intervals, returning once a week or every 10 or 15 days. Many considered themselves cured after two or three weeks, others visited the Clinic once a month or once every two or three months.

WE ARE ABLE TO SAY THEREFORE, THAT OZONE THERAPY ALLEVIATED THEM FOR GREATER PERIODS EACH TIME, OR THAT THEY WERE CURED IN A SHORT TIME. NOT ONLY WERE THEIR PAINFUL RHEUMATIC AFFLICTIONS IMPROVED, BUT THERE WAS AN EVIDENT GAIN IN THE GENERAL STATE, CHARACTERIZED BY AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE PHYSICAL ASPECT, AND A GREATER ACTIVITY, PHYSICALLY, PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND SEXUALLY.

We have observed these results in chronic rheumatism, and other rheumatisms of gonococcial origin embodied in the clinical records of the Gynecology Service, and one case of epilepsy where the sedation of the pain and the functional impotence was immediate. We have also treated two cases which regressed after having been cured by hot baths and which Ozone rapidly improved.

Methods of application: Subcutaneous, intramuscular. and intravenous

The subcutaneous method has proven to be the most effective, with the least pain and the most rapid action.

RESUME:

1) Ozone is highly effective as a treatment for rheumatic pains, it rapidly alleviates them and permits functional recuperation.
2) It is innocuous and does not have symptoms of intolerance.
3) There are no contra-indications.
4) It improves the general condition.
5) It is convenient and economical.

Subject: OZONE - for Powerful Sterilization

OZONE is a powerful germicidal as was first indicated by Frohlick. Its high germicidal activity is doubtless due to its oxidizing power, and as a dual agent of this character, it has been fairly extensively employed for the sterilization of public water supplies, for the treatment of wounds in hospitals, and for various purposes of sterilization and preservation in industries. Some sterilization is effected by ozonation of air, since a marked reduction is obtained in the bacterial count of the air which has actually passed through the ozonizer and subject to the ultraviolet radiation in the ozonizer is practically sterile, and a consequent improvement in the bacteria naturally expected, in fact obtained.

The other plates, dysentry, streptococcus, staphylococcus, which commonly were ozonized after 3-4 hours after vaccination were absolute steril alter two (2) minutes.

According to the results of these experiments as shown in these tables, the disinfectory germical action of Ozone must be considered as most excellent and superior to other methods.

Subject: OZONE - for subnormal temperature and equalization of the blood

Cases of suboxidation usually have a subnormal temperature, ranging from as low as 96 degrees; as Health cannot be maintained below the normal standard of 98.6 degrees. THE SOONER THE CLINKERS OF IMPAIRED OXIDATION; DEFICIENT OR INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION, ARE REMOVED UNDER THE DISINTEGRATING AND STIMULATING DRAFT OF OZONE. THE SOONER WILL HEALTH BE APT TO BE RESTORED.

The visual evidence of the effect of Ozone upon oxidation is easily demonstrable by taking the temperature immediately before and after an Ozone inhalation, when a subnormal temperature will invariable show a raise after the inhalation, varying in degree directly with the extent of the subnormality.

Infection is usually, if not invariable, the etiologic factor in an elevated temperature, and infections naturally vary intensively in degree of virulence and consequent altitudinous stimulation of the thermal reaction. This being true, we can realize the apparent-though only superficially apparent-paradox of prescribing Ozone not alone for conditions evidencing subnormal body heat, BUT ALSO FOR CONDITIONS EVINCING JUST THE OPPOSITE EXTREME.

Ozone inhalations, to quote from Tousey, "INCREASE THE PROPORTION OF OXYHEMOGLOBIN if that is subnormal and also the number of red corpuscles, cause an increase in respiratory capacity and A REDUCTION IN WHITE BLOOD CELLS IF THEY ARE IN EXCESS."

Inhalation should be given daily and of a duration from 15 to 30 minutes, depending solely upon the susceptibility of the patient to treatment. Saturation of the system is evidenced by a feeling of cerebral fullness, dizziness, and even nausea if carried beyond a healthful mean.

Our observation of treatments of pulmonary tuberculosis by inhalation of OZONE covering three years includes 38 cases, seven being in the first stage and 23 in the second stage, with eight being in the final stage.

ALL WITHOUT EXCEPTION, EXPERIENCED CONSIDERABLE IMPROVEMENT, PERMANENT IN MOST CASES, AND THAT FOR SUCH LENGTH OF TIME, IN 13 CASES THAT WE CAN CONSIDER THEM CURED.

The first result of the treatment is the return of appetite, which soon becomes imperious, obliging patients to eat four or five times each day. Then one sees the lessening of the diarrhea, vomiting and sweats. This triple improvement is soon accompanied by the return of strength ant flesh.

ACCOMPANYING THIS RETURN OF FLESH THERE IS A CORRESPONDING INCREASE OF OXYHEMOGLOBIN, WHICH WAS EXAMINED IN ALL CASES BY HENOQUIES'S PROCESS OF HEMOTOSPECTROSCOPY.

The functional symptoms also improved very favorable and rapidly. The cough became more and more rare until it occurred only at awakening before finally disappearing altogether. The frothy expectorations became more solid and gradually less abundant.

Several of our patients had experienced spitting of blood, even frequent serious. In no case did it occur during the course of the treatment. The sore spots, the difficulty in breathing, disappeared gradually as the conditions improved and the fever also.

Among the patients in the first stage, at the end of two months at the most, there were no longer any abnormal noises. Even among patients in the first stage, we found noticeable stethoscopic modifications, as the disappearance of rales.

To the eloquent figures we have cited, we add only a few words to emphasize the fact that our patients have all, or nearly all, been drawn from the poorer classes, that is to say, living under detestable hygienic conditions, AND HAVE HAD NO OTHER TREATMENT THAN THE OZONE INHALATIONS FOR A QUARTER OF AN HOUR EACH DAY AND THAT FOR A NUMBER OF THEM, DURING A LONG AND RIGOROUS WINTER.

WE ARE ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED, AND SEVERAL CASES ACTUALLY OBSERVED, ENABLE US TO AFFIRM, THAT BY LONGER AND MORE FREQUENT INHALATIONS, THERE CAN BE OBTAINED THERAPEUTIC RESULTS MUCH MORE RAPID, MORE COMPLETE AND STILL MORE CONCLUSIVE.

Subject: OZONE - for Water Purification

Various tests have proved that water treated with Ozone is almost sterile, because Ozone-

1. Kills the bacteria in the water;
2. Removes practically one-half of the organic matter carried in solution;
3. Discoloration is eliminated;
4. As well as bad taste. leaving the water wholesome and pleasant to drink.

During a controversy between engineers and medical men in Europe, it was decided that the medical men should conduct exhaustive tests in order that true facts might be established. Rigid tests and examinations of drinking water taken from various sources throughout Germany, all of which had been treated with OZONE were conducted. The drinking water so tested was taken at various intervals during the entire year. The bacteria count of this treated water was never more than 10 per cc. and in most cases was less. Not satisfied with these tests, the medical men contaminated the drinking water with different kinds of bacteria, starting with 20,000 bacteria per cc. and increasing the bacteria count to 60,000 per cc. IN SPITE OF THIS HIGH POLLUTION, ALL BACTERIA WERE KILLED BY THE OZONE. NOT UNTIL THESE EXPERIMENTS WERE REPEATED TIME AND AGAIN OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS, DID THE MEDICAL PROFESSION ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, IN THEIR OPINION, OZONIZED WATER WAS PRACTICALLY STERILE.

Subject: OZONE - for Whooping Cough

The first use of OZONE in whooping cough was made in 1890, under my advice by Dr. Hellet of Clichy. Since that time there have been several publications on the subject, in France and elsewhere, first by my friend Dr. Derecq of Paris, by Prof. Doumer of Lille and by Dr. Caille of New York; then, more recently, by Dr. Delherm of Paris, Dr. Thielle of Rouen and Dr. Bordier of Lyons. For my own part, I have published at various times in collaboration with Dr. Oudin, numerous observations of whooping cough promptly relieved and cured by OZONE.

My personal experience rests on over one hundred cases during ten years. In all these cases, and especially those treated from the outset of well developed whooping cough, I have obtained amelioration prompt and rapid at first, and later a complete cure. In a time little longer than that ordinarily covered by a very light attack, the result has been constant. This constancy and continuity of action enables us to be still more strongly affirmative than we were earlier in our researches and we do not hesitate to say that OZONE is a remedy par excellence for whooping cough. 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.

Ozone has been known for years to be a highly effective oxidizing agent. It has been used extensively in Europe.

While certain of the early work with Ozone indicates its bactericidal properties, few quantitative tests have been reported, and WITH THE EXCEPTION OF STUDIES IN THIS LABORATORY no records are known to the author which compare the bactericidal effects of CHLORINE AND OZONE nor the effects of chlorine and Ozone on protozoan cysts or viruses.

A comparison of the cysticidal and bactericidal effects of chlorine and Ozone is made at pH levels ranging from 5 to 9. One hundred cysts per cc. were selected as a standard dosage for the experiments, the bacterial count accompanying this dosage ranging between 500,000 and 1,000,000 per cc. chlorine residuals of 0.5 to 1.0 p.p.m. were compared with Ozone residual of only 0.3 p.p.m. at time intervals ranging from two to 240 minutes at temperature of 27 C.

The bactericidal and cysticidal times required by OZONE producing a residual of only 0.3 p.p.m. were SEVERAL TIMES LESS THAN THOSE required by chlorine producing residuals of 1.0 p.p.m.

Thus, in both bactericidal and cysticidal studies Ozone was several times more effective than either H. T. H. or gaseous chlorine.

OZONE - At The Roundtable Discussion

Question 1:
Is Ozone a poisonous gas, a toxic substance and harmful?

Answered by:

Clark Thorp, Ph.D., M.D.
Recent authoritative investigations have established, that pure Ozone is Non-Toxic even in concentrations as great as 20 or 50 parts per mill. of air.

A. Hill, M.D.
Pure Ozone is not poisonous in any sense of the word as is breaks down in contact with the mucous membrane, and only Oxygen remains.

Th. Kunzemann, M.D.
Casual toxic sign are only theoretically thinkable THROUGH OTHER unclean gaseous BY-PRODUCTS.

Clark Thorp, M.D.
Ozone containing oxide of nitrogen, can be toxic in concentrations as low as 1.5 p.p.m.

T. Sollman, M.D.
The older methods of preparing Ozone developed irritant nitrogen oxides, but the modern generators are free from this defect.

F. B. Carpenter, M.D.
That Ozone is absolutely harmless we have demonstrated over a period of many years in patients of all ages.

Question 2:
Wonder why Ozone has not been used more in America, whereas it has been used extensively in Europe and South America?

Answered by:

E. W. Riesbeck, M.E.
"One of the reasons why the successes obtained with Ozone in Europe have not received wider publication in America is perhaps due to the fact that lectures, test data, etc. are given in German or French."

Th. Kunzemann, M.D.
"Moreover, the use of Ozone for therapy has been made difficult through inadequate apparatus, but the new Ozone technique has overcome this difficulty."

Donatient L. Abbe. M.D.
"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."

John F. Kessel, M.D.
The extensive use of Ozone in this country has been retarded because-

a) of the high cost of power, and
b) the low efficiency of the older type of Ozone generators

Now, the cost of electrical power has greatly decreased and the efficiency of Ozone equipment greatly improved. The picture of production shifts strongly in favor of Ozone.

Question 3:
Is Ozone really effective in killing bacteria in air and water?

Answered by:

A. Vosmaer, Ph.D.
"Ozone owes its fame to its remarkable power of killing bacteria That is why the world should LOOK UPON OZONE AS A BOON TO MANKIND No matter how many bacteria there may be, Ozone will take care of them and destroy any amount and any kind "

A. Vosmaer, Ph.D.
"Experiments with cholera and typhus bacteria are rather awkward to be carried out in a private plant, handling, say a million gallons of water per day, and the firm Siemens and Halske were very fortunate to find the Prussian State officials willing and ready to test the matter. Dr. Ohlmueller and Dr. Prall published results of their finding regarding the action of Ozone on bacteria. The experimental series covered the effect of Ozone on pure water infected with 16,000 cholera or with 30,000 to 40,000 typhus, or 20,000 to 40,000 coli bacteria. THE RESULT WAS ABSOLUTE STERILITY AFTER TREATMENT. The next step was to see the result on infected ordinary river water carrying over 4,000 bacteria. After treatment with Ozone, some 5 or 6 were left over and those were harmless.

E. Howlett, M.E.
"Ozone in the air in minute quantity of only 1 part per million retards the growth of bacteria and molds."

E. K. Rideal, Ph.D.
"Ozone is a powerful germicidal. Its high germicidal activity is doubtless due to its oxidizing power."

W. E. Anghinbaugh, M.D.
"Ozone generators have been installed in many homes, and that super-oxygen is particularly destructive to all microbes and at the same time it makes inert the dangerous dust with its bacteria laden tenants.

Question 4:
Can Ozone be classified as a "natural" deodorant?

Answered by:

M. J. Rosenow, M.D.
"Ozone destroys organic odors. It is a deodorizer of powerful stenches; i.e. garbage incineration and fat rendering."

Prof. Szyaplenske, Ph.D.
"Ozone can destroy certain odors through oxidation as we can prove beyond doubt for hydrogen sulphide indole, skatol and decayed matter."

A. Vosmaer, Ph.D.
"Ozone will take care of bad odors in a very effective way, by oxidizing them to odorless carbon dioxide and other compounds."

Dr. J. C. Olson
"When Ozone comes in contact with dead organic matter, oxidation immediately takes place with destruction of the organic matter. In this, it is powerful in removing odors.

George A. Johnston, M.D.
"Unpleasan odors are not masked or covered up by Ozone, but literally destroyed. The results in an ordinary living room are almost immediate. Where clean fresh air is desirable, Ozone generators have a definite contribution to make to the medical world ".

Question 5:
Can Ozone be classified as a therapeutic?

Answered by:

A. Caille, M.D.
"Ozone is exceedingly valuable from a therapeutic standpoint. It gives better and prompter relief than any other medication."

Noble M. Eberhard, M.D.
"If I could have only one remedy, I would prefer to take my chances with Ozone."

Th. Kunzemann, M.D.
"The capability of the strong reaction of Ozone has for a long time found the interest of Doctors and Hygienists.

Therapeutic employment of Ozone is based on two modes of action. One is the action of the pure oxidation itself, the other, the action of the oxygen created by the oxidation, which in its status nascendi shows peculiar qualities.

To group one, belong the employment of OZONE BY INFECTIOUS DISEASES, especially by tubercular diseases. The fact that Ozone infiltrates through the pores of the skin can be proved in a double way through chemical physio treatments. Tests have been made in taking 1 cc. blood from the patient before giving him a 20 minute physical treatment with Ozone. Another 1 cc. of blood was taken afterwards. The result of the investigation showed by each of the persons tested an increase of oxygen in their veins. In concluding, we can say that Ozone, in contact with the skin, is breaking down into molecular oxygen, and through perspiration enters into the inner tissue. The tissues are oversaturated and the Ozone diffuses into the veins. After the treatment, the increase in the different cases were 15, 17, 20, and 25% more oxygen in comparison with the original contents. This increase in oxygen in the tissues and veins leads forcibly to the complete oxidation of all organic acids, and by the expulsion of the carbonic acid, according to the law of the action of quantities to the complete deacidification, and therefore, to a spontaneous reduction of breathing frequency. These physiological verifications established Dr. Sehdens practical verified therapeutic results with many forms of diseases.

S. Barker, M.P.S.
"Ozone has a direct influence on the blood itself. It has been proved that patients treated both by injection and orally, rapidly increase their number of red corpuscles, some blood tests showing an increase of 50% in a months treatment."

E. W. Riesbeck, M.E.
"I have before me 32 complete records and reports of reputable physicians who treated various diseases with olive or cod liver oil heavily charged with OZONE. By this method the oxygen content of olive and cod liver oil used for treatment was increased 8.53 per cent. In some cases the cod liver oil used for treatment was charged with Ozone until its gravity of 0.925 was increased to 1,000. Among the cases treated with this oil were tuberculosis, anemia, lung trouble, Bright's disease, abscesses, pneumonia and influenza, and as far as the records show, these cases were discharged as cured."

In "Ozone Facts"

O. M. Justice, M.D.
"Like many other treatments, THE REASON FOR SO MANY WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENTS DERIVED FROM this simple aid, Ozone, is that it consists of nothing more nor less than ACTIVATED OXYGEN.

"We all know that Oxygen is positively necessary to the existence of not only animal life, but of plant life as well.

As a consequence, NOBODY CAN DENY THAT ACTIVATED OXYGEN MUST BE VERY ESSENTIAL, NOT ONLY AS A PREVENTIVE OF DISEASE, BUT, A GREAT AID IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL TREATMENT OF AILMENTS OF ALL CHARACTER.

"I am very much impressed with the use of Ozone. We definitely are on the threshold of another medicament which seems to be a specific in many diseases."

Question 6:
What outstanding physiological effect of Ozone are known?

Answered by:

E. Howlett, Eng.
"Complete water sterilization can be affected in a few minutes "

"Ozone in the air in minute quantity of only one part per million retards the growth of mold and bacteria."

D. F. Kessel, M.D.
One part Ozone in 2 million p solution renders the virus polyomelitis inactive within 2 minutes compared with the double amount of chlorine using 3 hours.

E. S. Hallett. M.E.
"In five years that Ozone has been used in the public schools of St. Louis, Tuberculosis cases have been reduced 50%. Also the other diseases have been materially reduced.

"Ozone would save thousands of lives every year if homes and schools were equipped with apparatus for the circulation of Ozone."

Conclusion

Ozone, God's Gift to Humanity, surely has become an outstanding blessing to mankind. Its benefits are so great, so many fold and seemingly unlimited. Ozone is not a drug, but a wonderful and exceptional aid to nature, and with it the great unsurpassed artist and healer-Dr Nature-is blessing humanity.

Ozone Blessings by Emma Leonard

We ware sick and we did pray,
The answer came the OZONE way
OZONE comes from God above,
Like an Angel of His Love;
So to Him we give the Glory
For our health and wonder story
