Dedication

This book is dedicated to my teacher, Renate Viebahn, and all of the early pioneers of ozone therapy whose shoulders I am proud to stand on. Without the marvelous work of these men and women we would all still be in the dark about the many miracles of ozone therapy.

Thank You

A special thank you goes out to Chantal Foguth for proof reading. I didnt know I could make so many mistakes!

Chapter One

No Disease Ever! Unlocking The Power of Oxygen

I trust that the unassuming title of this chapter caught your eye. No Disease, Ever! What the heck is that supposed to mean? Has he got some kind of special supplement that I dont know about? Or is he just shooting off his mouth. Sorry, but to borrow a line from one of our senators, youll have to read the book in order to find out. But heres something you already know. There are tens of thousands of people every year who live out long lives, never get a chronic disease, and are on no medicines. So how do they do that? I think I know. And Im going to tell you how you can be one of them. But first, let me digress to another important topic - money.

Do you have any idea how much money it costs people to be sick? I hadnt a clue until a remarkable report came out in the Boston Globe titled, Retired couples may need $240,000 for health care. It was written by Mark Jewell and published by The Associated Press, May 9, 2012. The author used data compiled by Fidelity Investments that determined what the average out-of-pocket costs for medical expenses would be for a couple who were both 65 years old if they lived to their life expectancy. For men that is 82 years old, and for women 85. That number came out to be a whopping $240,000! That includes the cost of Medicare premiums for our couple which amounts to about $93,000. The net difference when you subtract out the cost of premiums comes to $147,000! Thats $147,000 extra money in that couples pocket as a little reward for not getting sick. But thats not all.

$240,000 is just the average number. Fifty percent of those people will be paying more than that. Some will be paying twice that. And it can get even worse. These costs dont include dental expenses or long term care which could easily add up to thousands more.

The way I figure it is if I can only stay healthy until Im 82 it will be like someone writing a check out to me for $74,000 or more. Now, thats something this man can relate to feeling and functioning at a high level, being medication free, and being $74,000+ richer. So with that in mind I guess I shouldnt complain too much about paying for that gym membership and everything else I do to keep myself healthy that insurance doesnt cover. But can it really be done? Is this realistic? The answer is yes!

Right now there are an estimated 80,000 people in the United States who are more than 100 years old. Virtually all of these people have been completely free of disease all their lives. I have quite few patients in their mid to late 80s who are free of disease, fully functional, and on no medications. It reminds me of something Redd Fox once said, Imagine all those health nuts lying in hospitals dying of nothing. Obviously the healthier you live your life the less your chances of getting a disease. But is there a central foundation to this story? Is there a process that goes on in the body that is at the very core of what makes us more or less healthy and invulnerable to disease? The answer is, there is. So Im going to ask you discover it for yourself right now. Simply hold your breath for the next 60 seconds, and then read on.

What happened? Did you feel good? Did you become weak, dizzy, anxious? Did your heart pound? Did you feel like you might be dying? Did your blood pressure go up? Clearly there is absolutely nothing as critical to our health as oxygen metabolism. And yet as critical as it is virtually every doctor you will see in these United States will never once test it in his or her patients. Why? Because we were taught in school that as long as you were breathing, had normal lungs, and had a normal oxygen blood level your oxygen metabolism must be optimal. But heres the thing. That is just not correct.

There is much more to any nutrient including oxygen than simply how much you take in. The other aspect is how efficiently you use the nutrient. You can take in vitamin B6 all day long, but if you cant efficiently use it you are wasting it, and the net effect is the same as being deficient in it. This is also true of oxygen. You can be breathing good air and have normal levels of oxygen in your blood but that in no way means you are using it efficiently.

Oxygen utilization is the term I coined to refer to how efficiently your body uses the oxygen that you take in. And now we are getting down to business. Because your oxygen utilization is the single most important predictor of your risk for degenerative disease and premature aging. Its not how much oxygen you take in that determines your health - its how efficiently you use the oxygen. How do I know? Because for the past fifteen years I have been measuring the oxygen utilization in each and every one of my patients whether they are sick or well. And after looking at literally thousands of patients I noticed an absolutely stunning statistic.

Every single patient who had cancer or any other chronic disease had a very significant decrease in their oxygen utilization. 100% of them! That goes for an otherwise healthy woman with a cancerous breast lump. It also goes for the healthy man on meds for hypertension. Combine that observation with this one. Over the same 15 years I have never once seen anyone with healthy oxygen utilization come down with cancer, a heart attack, an auto-immune disease, or any other chronic disease. Not one. As, long as their oxygen utilization was in the pink, these people appeared to be completely invulnerable to illness. What would be the reasons for these incredible observations? I can think of two.

The first is free radical production. Free radicals are molecules that the body makes from oxygen. Free radicals are powerful molecules that our cells need to stay healthy. However, they are so reactive that they need to be tightly controlled with what is called antioxidant enzyme systems. If they are not tightly regulated they will destroy cells and/or DNA and can be very dangerous. Virtually all doctors and scientists agree that uncontrolled free radical activity is what ultimately damages the body causing it to age, break down, and become sick over time. So what determines how efficiently your antioxidant control systems are working? You guessed it its the efficiency of your oxygen metabolism. The more efficient your oxygen utilization, the better these systems work, the less free radical damage you will have, the healthier you will be, and the longer you will live. The worse your oxygen utilization, the more free radical damage you will have along with all the nasty effects that follow. Its that simple. But theres another reason why people with optimal oxygen utilization live longer and dont get sick.

Oxygen utilization is the most global and sensitive marker for health that there is. Thats because as important as it is, the process is very vulnerable. Almost anything will disrupt it. Im talking about inadequate nutrition, toxicity, drugs, hormone deficiencies, stress, poor sleep, injuries, infections, decreased fitness, and impaired circulation. Literally, everything that everyone already agrees forms the basis for disease will depress oxygen utilization. So when someones oxygen utilization is optimal it means that virtually everything in that persons lifestyle and environment is matching up perfectly with their genetics. No wonder they dont get sick. But is there any other evidence that decreased oxygen utilization is really the root of disease? Yes, lots of it.
