A revised and expanded edition of the bestselling book that provides a comprehensive view of bio-oxidative therapies in the context of holistic health.

• Includes the latest discoveries about oxygen healing therapies, how they work, and what they do to promote the healing process 

• Demystifies the terms "antioxidants" and "free radicals," describes oxygen's role as a detoxifying agent, and outlines a holistic regimen to enhance results 

Scientists recognize that most disease states are caused by oxygen starvation at a cellular level. We receive most of our oxygen from the air around us, but breathing isn't always enough. With the new bio-oxidative therapies you can actually generate more oxygen in your body to achieve optimum health and longevity. 

Oxygen Healing Therapies is the only book to place bio-oxidative therapies in the context of holistic health. Now updated and expanded to include recent discoveries, it assembles all the most reliable information about the therapies, how they work, and what they do to promote the healing process. Among these discoveries are medical ozone therapy and its promising effects on diseases such as cancer, osteoporosis, and hepatitis, and intravenous hydrogen peroxide therapy, which has had significant success in treating influenza, candida, and malaria. The author also shows how you can enhance the effectiveness of the different treatments through diet and the use of minerals, herbs, exercise, and visualization.

These books on Oxygen Therapies are priceless. They tell you more than just about therapies, they tell you about the condition of our world, our environment (rapidly decreasing oxygen levels in our air) & inform us of the corruption in our governments and explain the fraud in our pharmeceutical companies.

For the reviewer with the review below entitled: "Some good ideas, some bad science, May 12, 2003", I say thank you for your sound and sober suggestions and scientific insights but also I think you took some of the book out of context.

You wrote in your review, among other criticisms: "Furthermore, the author completely neglects the difference between an obligate anaerobe ("dies in the presence of oxygen") and facultative aerobes ("can use oxygen, or not, depending on its availability"). That a cell need not use oxygen as its primary respiratory source does not mean that the cell will necessarily die in the presence of oxygen."

But I'd like to say that, actually, these cells can't survive in "highly oxygenated systems". Our bodies all have some oxygen, the point IS to INCREASE OXYGEN in the system to enhance health whereby the body creates the chemicals it needs to kill off organisms that are detrimental and keep the body in good order. This is the purpose beyond yogic breathing which has been in practice for thousands of years. Also, same as a fever, sweat lodges, high heat, kill off disease and microbes in the body to help maintain health. Doctors, sadly, are learning to prescribe drugs to reduce fevers. This is detrimental because this the body's natural way of killing off disease. Our medical system is handicaped from actually helping people heal because it is really only focused on its financial bottom line.

Oxygen Therapies cost pennies. Drug companies can't make tons of money off of it. It is a very sad state in the universe indeed but at least we have hope with people like Nathaniel Altman & Ed McCabe and others.

"Oxygen:
From the first breath taken at birth, having enough oxygen is the most vital factor in our lives. Our environment's ability to produce oxygen is now severely compromised due to the rapid destruction of the oxygen producing rainforests, and the constant polluting of our air and oceans. Our air and our water commonly contain oxygen-consuming pollutants that are robbing the good health of every living thing. We clearly don't get enough daily oxygen inside us. This dangerous because....

the vast majority of disease-causing bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other hamful microbes that harm our bodies are anaerobic and therefore thrive best in low oxygen conditions.

But the good news is that because they are anaerobic, these microbes can't exist in in well-oxygenated bodies! Our bodies constatly use oxygen to oxidize microbes permanently, along with any collected waste and pollution. This means in order to be healthy, our bodies must have plenty of oxygen to engulf the anaerobes, and to eliminate the pollution, together the ultimate cause of most disease."

1. Cancer cells are less virulent and may be destroyed by the presence of a high oxygen environment.

2. Hydrogen peroxide given by transfusion and orally has the ability to increase the oxygen content of the blood stream which will increase the oxygen environment of the cancer cell.

3. Clinical evidence suggests hydrogen peroxide is a valuable adjunct in the treatment of cancer.

4. Dr. Donsbach utilizes vitamin therapy, mineral therapy, hyperthermia (heating up the body), and other natural modalities during the patients course of treatment. He includes dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) which helps mitigate the irritation that some patients experience with hydrogen peroxide. He gives daily infusions of hydrogen peroxide and DMSO to all patients throughout their courses of treatment at the hospital. In his book "Oxygen-Peroxide-Ozone", says, "The rectal tip is introduced and a thirty second burst of humidified ozone is injected into the rectum, yielding about one-half liter. It is very painless and the report I have seen indicate a higher concentration of oxygen can be achieved in the blood stream by this method then injecting the ozone directly into the bloodstream."

5. At the Hospital in Santa Monica where Dr Donsbach practices approximately 70 percent of the patients are alive three years after their first visit the facility. Some are cured, some are in remission and some are slowly dying.

6. Dr. Beverly Teicher of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston said "the lack of oxygen was hampering treatment by protecting the tumor against conventional therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy. By increasing the oxygen levels in the tumor, conventional therapy can be more successful."

7. Synthetic blood may provide a future method for boosting the amount of oxygen in the blood and cancer sites.

8. Dr. Warburg's studies link cancerous tumors to low oxygen levels and the ability of bio-oxidative therapies to destroy tumors by increasing oxygen tension in the malignant cells.

9. Dr. Horst Kief has been using autohomologous immunotherapy (AHIT) extensively to treat a variety of cancers.

Ok. I have some comments to make before actually reviewing the book.

1. First, Charles H. Farr, M.D., Ph.D. WAS nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine, 1993. There's no "supposedly" about it. Second, Thomas J. Wenger should shut his mouth. He obviously knows nothing of the history of oxygen therapy's successes (as well as all its political trials) and should therefore refrain from making comments. Degrees mean nothing. Experience is everything. And Thomas Wenger, obviously, has no experience in this matter. (Thinking a DRUG or "VACCINE" is going to "cure" you is an example of insanity, NOT using such proven methods as oral oxygen/ozone/hydrogen peroxide, ozone insufflations, minor/major autohemotherapy, Direct IV hydrogen peroxide/ozone, polyatomic apheresis, etc. ALL oxygen therapies have been proven. Show me what drug, any drug, has cured someone. THERE ISN'T ONE!)

2. Whoever said to read "Flood Your Body with Oxygen" FIRST is correct. Ed McCabe is the REAL oxygen therapy expert. Still, this book has its merits and deserves to be read.

3. amazon3131, I do not know about the "oxygen in dirt" claim. I know there's a LOT up there in the sky (upper atmosphere), but as for the ground I don't know. I can't really comment on that one.

"did you know that all cancer cells are anaerobic?"
I don't know what you're trying to argue here (I detected some mocking in that statement), but cancer cells ARE anaerobic. (I have heard that they use SOME oxygen, but it is VERY small amounts.) When cells are denied access to enough oxygen their respiration mechanisms switch over to fermentation, like plant cells. If young enough, they can switch back if the proper amounts of oxygen are resumed, but mature cells can't.

"Ozone ... is NOT "energized oxygen"'
Correct (yet not). It's allotropic or triatomic oxygen, also called "activated" oxygen. (It is only "energized" in the sense that it has extra energy from the electron, but it's technically called "allotropic/triatomic/activated" oxygen.)

"it's three Oxygen molecules unstably and briefly linked together (O3 for short)."
Yes. Correct.

"Your cells CAN NOT use O3 for metabolic purposes. You MUST have O2 (normal oxygen gas) for that purpose."
False. You can't use it for DIRECT "metabolic purposes". Ozone WILL increases metabolic activity of cells. However, whether that is from it changing back to oxygen or from direct contact is up to debate. (It's recommended to have BOTH types of oxygen: stable (02) AND unstable (O3, O4, O5, O6, O7, O8, etc.).

"O3 readily degrades into normal/useful O2, plus a single Oxygen free radical (but not usually enough of it to do you any real harm before it reacts with something else into a stable state)."
Correct. Exactly what I was saying above. The extra oxygen is used for oxidizing. It will not harm normal healthy (animal) cells. They have protective anti-oxidant coatings. Chemicals, Toxins, and anerobes do not. That is why they are immediately oxidized and can never be immune.

4. Joseph S Maresca, good job.

5. Joburgpete "irridium", very good job.

6. hoperanch, good job.

7. As for the contents of the book, a few things could be better but overall I think it delivers highly valuable and essential information, and therefore deserves to be read.

Before the reader even gets to the largely bogus contents of this bizarre tome, the front cover misleads the incautious purchaser with an announcement in the very center of the page of a foreword by Charles H. Farr, M.D., Ph.D. who supposedly was "Nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine, 1993"
With only the slightest effort on my part, I learned that the Nobel Prize nominations are sealed for 50 years from EVERYONE'S review and, according to the secretary of the Nobel Committee in Stockholm, Sweden, "nomination claims are by definition non-valid."
With this type of very questionable honesty at the very beginning of the book, it is unlikely that any portion of it has much scientific or practical value and I would discard the book as worthless. There is not a 0 star rating or I would give it this score instead of a 1 star. A number of the therapies suggested in the book cause me, as a physician, to shake my head in disbelief that any rational person would subject themselves or their loved ones to this inanity, not to mention potential danger.

An interseting book, but I much prefer the work of Ed McCabe, the real master of Oxygen Therapies. His latest book Flood Your Body with Oxygen which I could not put down, gets to grip with the subject in a fascinating way and style that Altman does not have. Overall it is a fair book.
