Possibly one of the best therapies ever discovered for AIDS, other 
infectious diseases, and most degenerative, or chronic, illnesses 
(including cancer) is oxygen therapy, especially in the form of 
properly used ozone therapy.  The main "drawbacks" in any form of 
ozone therapy are its simplicity and its minimal cost.  The medical 
industry relies on therapies that are costly and require substantial 
expertise in their administration.  Anything that comes along that 
appears clinically effective while remaining inexpensive is viewed 
skeptically, at best.  The systematic and ongoing efforts at spreading 
disinformation and propaganda seem to know no bounds.  In the Federal 
Register of 2/13/76, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) asserted 
that "Ozone is a toxic gas with no known medical uses."(1)

When ozone is formed from ordinary air exposed to electrical discharge 
or ultraviolet light, other toxic gasses, such as nitrogen oxides, are 
formed as well.  Ozone therapies use ozone generated from pure, 
medical-grade oxygen.  The toxicity question, then, is a potential 
point of misunderstanding.  However, stating ozone has no known 
medical uses is nothing short of sheer lunacy.

Ozone has been used successfully on scores of diseases in Europe, 
especially Germany, for over 50 years.  Over 6,000 articles on the
 medical usage's of ozone are in the world literature.  Nearly every 
disease process responds favorably to any therapy that effectively 
increases cellular oxygen content.  Furthermore, the safety profile of 
proper ozone administration is virtually unparalleled.  I had the 
opportunity to witness multiple intravenous ozone treatments in the 
office of Dr. Horst Kief in West Germany.  It is a very simple, very 
safe procedure.  In a survey of German ozone therapists, 5,579,238 
ozone treatments on 384,775 patients demonstrated a side effect rate 
of only 0.0007%, and the side effects were uniformly minor and not 
even remotely life-threatening.  On the other hand, over a million 
patients are hospitalized annually in the US. due to side effects of 
prescription medication, and over 100,000 of such individuals die from 
such drug usage.  If one person in the U.S. dies even indirectly from 
the usage of a vitamin product or an herbal concoction, the FDA 
quickly moves to outlaw accessibility to such a product, but they 
remain strangely blinded to the carnage wrought annually by our 
pharmaceutical industry.  Dr. Hans Nieper, an ozone-using doctor in 
Hanover, Germany, reports that in his medical practice on colon cancer 
he sees an interesting assemblage of American VIP's:

     You wouldn't believe how many officials or relatives or 
     acquaintances of FDA officials come to see me as patients in 
     Hanover.  You wouldn't believe directors of the American Medical 
     Association, or American Cancer Association, or the presidents of 
     orthodox cancer institutes.  That's the fact. (2)

Very, very gradually mainstream American researchers are "testing the 
ozone waters."  In 1991, a main journal for the American Society of 
Hematology, Blood, published an article demonstrating that ozone 
treatment inactivated human retroviruses (including HIV) in human body 
fluids and blood product preparations.  The researchers concluded 
that:

     "Ozone has potent anti-HIV-1 activity in cell culture media and 
     factor VIII preparations.  Although the exact mechanism by which 
     ozone mediates its effect remains unclear at this time, it is 
     readily apparent that ozone may be of use in rendering factor 
     VIII and possibly other blood products, both proteinaceous and 
     cellular, free of HIV-1 and other infectious agents."(3)

Ed McCabe, an independent investigative journalist, has probably done 
more that anyone else in promoting the many wonders of ozone therapy.  
Undoubtedly, not being a physician has significantly hampered his 
effectiveness in educating the public and especially the health 
professionals.  Scientists are especially notorious for rejecting any 
concept that does not arise from one of their own.  Mr. McCabe, who 
authored an excellent book entitled Oxygen Therapies: A New Way of 
Approaching Disease, has made additional efforts to reach our 
political power brokers with the news on ozone.  In 1992, he arranged 
a meeting of Iowa Congressman Bedell and Senator Tom Harkin with two 
doctors who had each converted an HIV-positive patient to HIV-negative 
status with ozone therapy.

To their credit, these politicians were very impressed, and Senator 
Harkin then arranged a subsequent meeting with Dr. Anthony Fauci and 
Dr. Moskowitz of the National Institute of Health (NIH).  About 30 
people, including other doctors and legislative aides, were in 
attendance.  Extensive documentation was presented by the physicians 
on two of their own cases of advanced clinical AIDS that had shown 
complete clinical resolution of the disease, as well as normalization 
of the appropriate laboratory test, including Western Blot/Elisa (a 
check on HIV antibody) and PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction, testing 
more directly for the presence of actual virus).  The official 
responses made to Mr. McCabe and his associates included the 
following:
     We see no reason to pursue this.

Referring to the recovered patients, it was added:
     They are obviously so healthy that they must not have had the 
     disease.

It was finally concluded with:
     We won't look at this treatment unless you have the patients PCR 
     tested twice before treatment proving the presence of the HIV 
     virus, stored blood from when they were positive, two PCR tests 
     during treatment, and two PCR tests after ozone treatment proving 
     the absence of the virus. (4)

Of course, no financial support was offered from the mammoth NIH 
research budget to facilitate the additional suggested work.  Such 
"follow-up" research projects are common ploys to both delay 
acceptance and implementation of any conclusions made and to 
eventually bankrupt the finances of the renegade researchers.

Also, for those who may be wondering how to receive ozone therapy, it 
must be clearly stated that such a therapy is still unapproved in the 
U.S., and doctors who persist in using it anyway have uniformly 
suffered sever consequences, including bogus arrests, false 
imprisonment's, loss of licensees to practice medicine, and numerous 
other forms of suppression and harassment from the multiple agencies 
of the government that magically transform into modern-day Gestapo's 
whenever needed.

Selected doctors have had their non-mainstream medical offices raided 
in SWAT team style, with guns and rifles drawn on them and their 
employees, while the offices are ransacked and records are taken.  
Commonly, controversial equipment is also destroyed on the spot or 
"permanently confiscated."  With the recent passage of NAFTA (North 
America Free Trade Agreement), the Mexican government has now allowed 
similar U.S. agency commando raid tactics on alternative medical 
facilities on Mexican soil.  A motivated patient will likely have to 
completely abandon North America (Canada reasonably apes the medical 
policies of the U.S.) in order to obtain treatments that are beyond 
the domain of the guardians in Washington, D.C.
