Subject: [ozonetherapy] I need help

From: Tamara

Hello!

I am a new subscriber to this list, and thanks to ozonetherapy-owner's welcome letter i have some basic understanding regarding ozone therapy. I ordered Rilling's book, but it is out of print. Please, can someone answer my few practical questions. For last 7-8 months I am totally not functional from permanent dizziness, before this- I had some epizodes. The diagnose is Menier's syndrome (inner ear inflammation or infection) and no treatment from conventional doctors.The theory is that metabolic disorder, infection, food allergy,... or bad circulation may cause it. And candida infection that I have may be part of the picture. I would like to try ozone therapy:insufflation in the ear and ingestion of ozonated water(can it help tokill candida?). I have no idea about dosage, frequency of administration (at least, some ranges) and whereto get ozone or how to "bubble ozone" to the water. I will appreciate a lot all help in this directions.

Tamara Fingerit.

Dear George,

Candida albicans is a yeast-like budding fungi.

Candida albicans is a normal component of our small intestine. There are over 400 types of colonizing bacteria and fungi there, and candida albicans consists of about 15% of the total. As long as it stays in place, there are no problems, because its growth is kept in check by Lactobacillus acidophilous, which feeds on the candida, and produces hydrogen peroxide as a waste, which suppresses candida growth.

The candida can spread from the anus to the vagina in women, causing uncomfortable 'yeast infections'. In men, it can cause 'jock itch'. This can lead to candida invasion of the body, but more often it happens due to leaky gut syndrome, through sexual transmission (yes, candida is an STD) or through the result of taking antibiotics.

If a person is persuaded to take an antibiotic, all the bacteria and fungi in the gut will be adversely affected, but the susceptibility of each strain varies. Among the most damaged will be L. acidophilous. Among the least damaged will be candida albicans. With the reduction in output of H2O2 by acidophilous, candida can overgrow and escape the gut. Then it can spread throughout the body, producing systemic candidiasis. This is very tenacious and difficult to eradicate. The areas where it causes the most harm are the middle ear and the back of the neck. This can result in hearing problems, eyesight problems, brain fog and chronic fatigue syndrome, increasing allergies, and reduced immune function. Candidiasis is implicated as the trigger for many opportunistic diseases, due to its immune-suppressive action, caused by its constant generation of toxins.

The addition of oxygen to the body will increase low energy levels through increased production of ATP, the body's energy currency. It will also increase the oxidation of toxic waste products produced by the candida.

Concentrate on daily sessions of diaphragm breathing. Lie down on the floor on your back, with your butt against the sofa, and your calves on the sofa. The abdomen should rise and fall with each breath.

Do some exercise that will raise your heart rate to 120 bpm and get you breathing hard. Brisk walking, a rebounder, a stepper, a treadmill, etc. are all good.

Ozone is capable of destroying candida by oxidation at all stages, but candida is not strictly an anerobic organism. Therefore, it is resistant, and requires repeated applications to remove it from the areas where it is not wanted.

The most effective applications of ozone would be in the ear and by rectal insufflation, and by ozone sauna. Women have an advantage and can benefit from vaginal insufflation.

The eating of yeast-containing foods has nothing whatever to do with candida, which feeds on sugar. Reduction in fruit juice intake will help somewhat.

Take garlic in large amounts daily.

Aloe vera is the best immunity booster, and provides valuable nutrition with the whole range of amino acids contained in it.

There is a new product called Agrisept which is extracted from citrus and is reportedly effective.

Best of Health
