Ozone, God's Gift to Humanity
Lecture by J. H. Effenberg, Ps.D., Ph.D.
Turlock, California
"Your Health Reflects The Air You Breath"
Ozone
A blanket of OZONE in the atmosphere is our protection for life
on this earth as it screens out the cosmic radiations. This has
been our previous explanation in the subject of our lecture
entitled lecture No. 1. In the lecture study No. 2, we have
discussed OZONE in relation to our air belt acting as a great
vacuum cleaner and as God's OZONE generator in action in order
to keep the air fresh and clean for the sake of our health and
pleasure. In this lecture, lecture No. 3, I will try further to
discuss OZONE so that it may become an intimate part of your
thinking in relation to your life, the community and as a health
modality.
OZONE has a useful scope and is widely used throughout the
world. Perhaps more so than any other like therapy. In this
lecture, we shall discuss OZONE'S general and special
therapeutic value, for OZONE has an outstanding medical history.
It is used in operating rooms and wards in hospitals for the
purpose of destroying harmful bacteria that constantly filter
into the air and render the atmosphere unsterile in so far as
surgical procedures are considered. One finds it a matter of
standard therapy to protect patients, doctors, nurses and
visitors besides its use for sterilization purposes in operating
rooms and wards. It is also used by doctors for the treatment of
many ailments with gratifying results.
For a great many years the use of OZONE therapy has been
neglected because its therapeutic value was not sufficiently
understood. However, after such outstanding research authorities
as are hereinafter set out, the use of OZONE has become one of
common knowledge.
I humbly submit to my readers some of my experiences gained over
a period of some 40 years, in relation to the sick and ailing
for as a Military Officer, I have had charge of an Army
Hospital, in Germany. I also employed myself as a Medical Corps
Officer in the Turkish Army. Then again, as a Missionary, I had
charge of a large medical institution in Central China sponsored
by the Seventh-day Adventists and in my extensive travels
through China, Tibet and Mongolia I was able to help many of our
suffering fellow men. Thus, in these 40 years I had occasion to
study human ailments and learn many things concerning God's
wonderful handiwork in relation to the human body and the body's
opportunities for restoration. In 40 years of careful study I
have concluded that there is nothing of such therapeutic value
as that of OZONE. Despite 40 years of observations, I humbly
acknowledge that OZONE therapy has such great prospects for
alleviating sickness that I feel that we have just scratched the
surface of this immensely interesting subject.
In this third lecture series I am submitting to you my
reflections on the efficacious use of OZONE and in addition to
this, am presenting to you a Compendium of outstanding Doctors
and Scientists, who have spent many years in research work with
OZONE and who have in their case histories indicated the
advantages in the use of OZONE. In the hope that you will feel
as I do, that there is a need for OZONE in the life of every
single individual, I herewith present to you:

Subject: Ozone - is Non-Toxic!
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.
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, decided to
re-run the test on an identical basis to determine if pure Ozone
had higher toxic limits.
AS A FINAL RESULT OF HIS WORK, HILL STATES: "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."

Subject: Ozone - for Air Purification - Remarkable power for
killing bacteria. 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 of any kind.
The trouble is that one soon gets used to bad air, and bad odors
are not apt to be noticed after awhile; but the fact remains
that pure air is more wholesome than contaminated air. In our
regular daily life, it is almost an impossibility to provide for
fresh air. No amount of ventilation, not even an unbearable
draft, will be capable of keeping a room or a place in good
condition, unless one takes recourse in ventilating with
"ozonated" air. Removal of bad odors by means of air flushing is
an absolute impossibility, and yet they should be removed. That
is where Ozone comes in. The method of purifying the air by
Ozone has the advantage of being fully reliable. Very efficient
and inexpensive. In "Ozone, its Manufacture, Properties and

Subject: Ozone - for aerobes and anaerobes
For nine years I have utilized Ozone Therapy with truly
remarkable results and on numerous occasions I have published
the practical results of personal experiences and those of
others. Today I wish to return to evaluate all the reference
material related to Ozone therapy, stimulated by the presence in
our medical centers of the marvelous drug, penicillin.
What is Ozone?
Ozone is a natural gas with bactericidal properties.
Bactericidal Action:
It is effective against aerobes and anaerobes. Those which have
the least resistance to the effects are pneumococcus,
streptococcus hemolyticus, staphylococcus, e-coli, and
diphtheria. In general, one ozonation of a few minutes is
sufficient to sterilize a culture of aerobes; 15 or more for
anaerobes. Subtilis and streptococcus viridans, as well as spore
forming anaeroves are more resistant. THE ACTION OF OZONE IS ON
THE BACTERIA, THEIR TOXINS, AND THEIR NUTRITION PRODUCTS
(ENZYMES). The sterilizing action of Ozone does not depend on
the number of germs, but rather on the medium of cultivation, on
their vitality, the concentration of Ozone and the duration of
its application. It is more active :
- in liquid media than solid,
- when in greater concentration and
- when the time of application is longer.

Subject: OZONE-for Arthritis
Ozone has several uses:
- As an extremely active oxidizing agent.
- As an effective disinfectant and germicide.
- Clinically, it has been found effective in dissolving
and breaking up various abnormal deposits, such as that of
Arthritis, Nephrolithiasis, or Cholelithiasis. In chronic
arthritis the lowered carbon dioxide tension results in an
anoxia (oxygen deficiency) brought about by a lack of
stimulation for oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange. Lack of
oxygen results in a degenerative process that leads to
hylinization and later, calcification. Clinical evidence has
shown results in the use of Ozone in both acute and chronic
inflammatory conditions. It has been known to break up
certain calcifications in arthritis. It sounds reasonable to
assume that in the demand for oxygen in an acute process, if
oxygen was administered in some rapid form, as Ozone, the
augment of an already laboring normal oxygen supply would be
of benefit. In the case of a chronic condition as arthritis
(the normal tissue accepting only what oxygen it needs), if
additional oxygen would be introduced into the abnormal,
oxygen depleted tissue, the process would be reversible and
result in a removal of the abnormal deposits and a return to
normal or near normal. In "Theoretical Consideration of

Subject: OZONE-for Asthma
Is Ozone Therapy Effective in Asthma?
New trials upon asthmatics; men and women, having distinctly
chronic asthma, have led us to this conclusion: OZONE HAS
THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS ON ASTHMATICS. Although it relieves them for
greater periods each time, during which they are not fatigued,
each was obliged to resort to Ozone therapy for one, two or more
months. Many asthmatics considered them selves cured by a month
of treatment, externally characterized by the total
disappearance of dyspnea and paroxysms. How Long will this
Symptom-Free Period Last? We do not know precisely. Several
patients have gone six to eight months without an attack...we
need a period of two or three years without relapse to consider
such a case "cured" however. What is the Action of Ozone in
Asthmatics? It is possible to consider it a Bulbar action...more
probably Ozone modifies the allergic state by its properties of
oxidizing energy over the intermediate products of metabolism.
New studies have shown us the actuality of its therapeutic
action. It is CERTAIN that ALMOST ALL of the ASTHMATICS IMPROVED
UNDER OZONE THERAPY. In "La Semana Medica"

Subject: OZONE - for treatment of diseased bodily cavities.
General information concerning new possibilities of using gases
in therapeutics. "Whereas, thus far in medicine the use of
pharmaco was limited to the use of a solid or liquid state of
aggregation, and the use of gas with limited exceptions,
priorily was used for diagnostics and mechanical purposes, this
work aims to point out what advantages and multifarious
possibilities extended employment of gases with pharmacological
qualities could offer." I have come to the conclusion that in
treatment of infected or general diseased bodily cavities and
passages, gases of pharmacological qualities offer absolute
advantages. All infections of bodily cavities, which have not
been treated locally thus far (Pleur, Peritoneum, Pelvis
Renalis) or have been treated with liquid disinfectors (Bladder,
urethra, intestines) would be accessible with such gaseous
treatments, and considering the effectiveness of the remedy, one
must give primarily superiority to the gaseous state of
aggregation. Only imagine how exceptionally deep folded and how
richly wrinkled a mucous membrane of the bladder is, or how much
protection bacteria finds in glandular openings or passages in
the urethra: therefore, it is quite clear that a liquid solution
which is rinsing the surface only, can have no deeper
penetrative effects. It is different with gas. The same will
stretch out the folds and penetrate into the wrinkles and
passages. Considering all the mentioned conditions, from all
known gases, it seems that Ozone is the one that can perform it.
It is composed of three atoms of oxygen, and has the tendency to
split off one of the atoms of oxygen. In so doing, it is a
super-oxidizing agent, leaving as a by-product oxygen only, and
this can be harmlessly absorbed by the tissue. This fact has
persuaded me more than anything else for my first experimental
investigation to use Ozone instead of light solutions of ether,
chloroform, halogen, which as a by-product delivers corrosive
hydro-acids. In "Treatment with Pharmacologically-active Gases",

Subject: PURE AIR for - The circulation of the Blood and
Respiration CIRCULATlON In order to have good health, we must
have good blood: for the blood is the current of life. It
repairs waste, and nourishes the body. When supplied with the
proper food elements and, when cleansed and vitalized by contact
with PURE AIR, it carries life and vigor to every part of the
system. The more perfect the circulation, the better will this
work be accomplished. At every pulsation of the heart, the blood
should make its way quickly and easily to all parts of the body.
Whatever hinders the circulation forces the blood back to the
vital organs, producing congestion, headache, cough, palpitation
of the heart, or indigestion is often the result. RESPIRATION In
order to have good blood, we must breathe well. Full, deep
inspiration of pure air, which fills the lungs with oxygen,
purifies the blood. They impart to it a bright color, and send
it, a life-giving current, to every part of the body. A good
respiration soothes the nerves, it stimulates the appetite and
renders digestion more perfect and it induces sound, refreshing
sleep. The lungs should be allowed the greatest freedom
possible, their capacity is developed by free action; it
diminishes if they are cramped and compressed. Superficial
breathing soon becomes a habit, and the lungs lose their power
to expand. Thus an insufficient supply of oxygen is received.
The blood moves sluggishly. The waste, poisonous matter which
should be thrown off in the exhalations from the lungs, is
retained, and the blood becomes impure. Not only the lungs, but
the stomach, liver, and brain are affected. The skin becomes
shallow, digestion is retarded; the heart is depressed; the
brain is clouded; the thoughts are confused; gloom settles upon
the spirits; the whole system becomes depressed and inactive,
and peculiarly susceptible to disease. PURE AIR The lungs are
constantly throwing off impurities, and they need to be
constantly supplied with Fresh Air. Impure air does not afford
the necessary supply of oxygen, and the blood passes to the
brain and other organs without being vitalized. In "Ministry of

Subject: OZONE - for treatment of chemical wastes.
University of Washington researchers have announced an Ozone
process for treatment of chemical wastes which promises to
become highly important. The process is ATTRACTING NATIONAL
ATTENTION BECAUSE IT ELIMINATES THE USE OF CHLORINE. Which is
becoming scarce. Ozone, a form of oxygen can be made from air.
The Ozone treatment is of particular interest to the Pacific
Northwest because it eliminates chemical products poisonous to
fish life. The University experiments have been conducted with
cyanide wastes. Cyanide is one of the deadliest poisons. The
wastes, resulting from many industrial processes, usually are
treated with chlorine. But the products of the chlorination
process also are bad for fish. Laboratory tests, conducted by a
research group under the leadership of Richard G. Tyler,
Professor of sanitary engineering, indicate that the OZONE
TREATMENT CAN ELIMINATE ALL DANGER TO FISH LIFE and that the
cost, with large installations, will be no greater than for the
chlorine treatment. As a result of the experiments: 1. The
Boeing Airplane Co. is planning a pilot Ozone plant for
treatment of its cyanide wastes. 2. Engineers planning a new
waterworks for Fairbanks, Alaska. 3. Engineers also proposing
Ozone treatment for the City's water supply. If enough Ozone is
pumped into a cyanide solution, such harmless products as
bicarbonates (baking soda, for example) and nitrogen result. The
University experiments also are being directed toward
substituting Ozone for chlorine as a bleaching agent. Wood pulp
bleached with chlorine eventually takes on a yellowish or
brownish cast, noted by all who have consulted old newspaper
files. Professor Tyler hopes Ozone bleaching may remedy this.
But before carrying these experiments further, he will have to
enlist a new research crew. William Maske, research chemist, and
M. J. Westin and Willard Matthews, research fellows, made up the
team carrying on the cyanide waste. project. In "Seattle Times"

Subject: OZONE - for Chlorosis
Increase of Oxyhemoglobin, Case Histories
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 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, 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 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 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. 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
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
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 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 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:"

OZONE INHALATION TREATMENT OF CONSUMPTION AND CATARRH
The difficulty and trouble required to obtain a good result has
hitherto led to the unpopularity of this method in the medical
profession, and want of a proper understanding of the right way
in which to carry out the inhalation treatment has sometimes led
to bad results when it has been tried. Some years ago, Hass
showed that it was possible to thoroughly impregnate the air of
a closed room with volatile antiseptics so that a patient using
the room could not avoid drawing the substances right down into
the lung during the ordinary process of breathing. His
experiment made it apparent that this principle was one of great
importance AND ONLY WANTED A SUITABLE INVENTION OF AN APPARATUS
TO BE OF VERY GREAT USE IN THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES OF THE
LUNGS AND AIR PASSAGES. IT IS UNQUESTIONABLE THAT EVERY METHOD
OF INHALATION TREATMENT MUST BE CONTINUOUS IF IT IS TO BE
EFFECTIVE. Some of many case histories listed: Female, age 23.
Two brothers and one sister had died of consumption. The patient
suffered with cough, muco-purulent expectoration and had
haemoptysis. Tubercle bacilli were present in small quantities.
She was under treatment for one month. The purulent character of
her sputum and the tubercle bacilli quite disappeared. The
haemoptysis ceased and the patient gained 4 pounds in weight.
Male, age 22. Several near relations died of consumption.
Patient had large cavities in the apices of both lungs, repeated
haemoptysis, profuse muco-purulent expectoration, night sweats,
and severe cough. His average evening temperature was 102 and
tubercle bacilli were present in large quantities. He was six
months under treatment; at the end of this time his evening
temperature was normal; the haemoptysis had ceased, the
expectoration was healthy and the tubercle bacilli had
disappeared and he gained 10.5 pounds in weight. The cavities
had cicatried and contracted so much that the top of the left
chest was fixed. The most remarkable results of this system of
treatment are to be seen in 1. the reduction of the temperature,
and 2 . diminution and disappearance of the tubercle bacilli. It
may be stated that the patients had the usual meals, breakfast,
lunch, tea and dinner or supper; in fact, had ordinary diets and
the so-called "stuffing" system was not practiced. In "Case

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. In "Heating and

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.

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

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:
- as a complete germicide
- a strong factor in the formation of oxyhemoglobin and
- a powerful stimulant to the heart.
2. 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

"October 15. Pneumonia and Asthma patient 72 years old was

respiration way above normal at arrival. The case was desperate
and the doctor decided to place the patient in the air

pulse and respiration dropped gradually so that on Oct. 21, the
temp. was 97.4, pulse 70, and respiration 23. Patient was

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

temp. reached 103.8. pulse 140, respiration 58. Within 45

7, his temp. was 98.6, pulse and respiration normal. Patient was
discharged from hospital, July 12. These are just a few cases

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.

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

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. In "Personal

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

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.

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

been several publications on the subject, in France and

Doumer of Lille and by Dr. Caille of New York; then, more
recently, by Dr. Delherm of Paris, Dr. Thielle of Rouen and Dr.

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

Ozone has been known for years to be a highly effective

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

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

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-
- of the high cost of power, and
- 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 incinerati on 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. "Unpleasant 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." In "Ozone Therapy"
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 Are you feeling par today? Listen, what we have
to say Give OZONE the acid test, Soon you'll feel your very
best, And you'll bless the very day- You look Natures OZONE way.
