I liked these posts very much IC. I hope Hv comments on them. I like the saying "Science doesn't advance until old scientists die off". They're a stubborn lot.
They thought DNA was written in stone, but it's flexible and changeable. How much more do we have wrong?
It's proof to me that it's "all in our heads" when you hear about multiple personalities having different physiology's and you see centenarians celebrating with vodka and cigarettes.
Why do we get sick?
Yes. Isn't it funny how we're all on the same page?
My Anatomy teacher had us all read "Biology of Belief" by Lipton. And it's been a while since I read Adam's book. He was very young when he became a remote healer and wrote about it. I'll have to look into him again.
OT, but this is why america is still so great. We're definitely not the brightest bulb on the tree but we sure know how to put it all together like Martha Stewart. lol
Yes the sciewntific community, the old stale part of it cries bunk. The scienticians for hire cry bunk even louder (they are paid to do so ;-).
What is so ironic about this statement is that you are giving the perfect example of why these healing modalities are considered "bunk". You are making a claim without supporting evidence just as they are.
Look at acupuncture. At one time this was also thought of as bunk because there was no scientific evidence backing the claims. But if you run a search on Medline to look at the studies being done the evidence is coming forth that acupuncture is for real and it is becoming more accepted. Insurance companies are even paying now for acupuncture treatments.

I disagree with most of what is being said, but i don't want to get caught up in a long drawn out debate. But I will address some of the comments you are posting about here.
I like the saying "Science doesn't advance until old scientists die off". They're a stubborn lot.
Science is advancing all the time. To advance though requires evidence. New ideas are most often met with resistance because they lack the evidence. Scientific process starts with a hypothesis. Then this hypothesis is tested over and over to prove or disprove it in to a theory. When it was first proposed that vitamin D was effective against cancer it was met with some skepticism. But look at all the studies backing this up now. All of this occurred in a very short time. And it was not from old scientists dying off, it was because there was a great deal of research being performed proving this new idea.
Sometimes though the advancement of science is inhibited though for financial reasons. We see this all the time with cancer cures. And one of the best examples was the discovery that Helicobacter pylori caused somach ulcers. I had read about this link well over a decade before this link was made widely known to the public. The evidence was there, but the drug companies needed to stall to get their drug treatments ready. So the discoverer of the link was continually attacked, called a quack, they tried to get his research grants pulled and tried to get him blacklisted from the research community. During this entire time the drug companies were developing and seeking FDA approval for antibiotic therapy for H. pylori, which takes about 12 years. The medical community finally admitted to link between H. pylori and ulcers was real and the following year the drug companies their 12 years of testing and the FDA gave its approval to the antibiotic therapy H. pylori.
Science does not advance through the Moreless Method, which consists of make it up as you go then attack all who question you to force compliance. If someone expects to be taken seriously they need to back up their ideas with evidence, evidence, evidence.

I don't recall ever hearing that DNA is written in stone. DNA is constantly changing from degradation of the telomeres and through slight mutations. If you saw my pictures of when I was younger you would not knwo they were of me. My eye color was extremely dark brown, now they are hazel. My hair used to be extremely wavy, now it is extremely wavy. I used to have very prominent cheek bones from my Cherokee blood, but the cheek bones are no longer prominent. It is like the Cherokee genes subsided and the Apache genes started to dominate. These are all genetic traits, so the genes would had to have changed in order for these changes to occur.
Some changes also occur from infection. Viral cancers for example occur when the viruses insert their genetic material in to our own genes altering the morphology of the cell. How many non-cancerous viruses do the same thing to our cells? And radiation is known to break strands of genetic material leading to mutations in cells. In most cases these cells are seen as foreign and destroyed. But sometimes these cells find ways to survive in the body such as cancer cells using HCG coatings to shield themselves from the immune system.
It's proof to me that it's "all in our heads" when you hear about multiple personalities having different physiology's and you see centenarians celebrating with vodka and cigarettes.
Multiple personalities though does not occur from immediate changes in genetics though. It is more akin to placebo effect. For example we hear about a person with multiple personalities where one personality has to wear glasses and the other does not. This can simply be from the fact that the contraction or relaxation of the muscles around the eye alters the vision. So the body adapts to what it believes it is supposed to be like, but the DNA is not being changes in the process, it is just an alteration of simple physiology.
Why do we get sick?
Again their are numerous causes of disease. But a person with a hereditary disorder is not going to suddenly not have this disorder because they eat a lot of nutritious food.
The effects of ozone go well beyond just killing pathogens. Since you brought up toxicity I shall mention that ozone destroys many toxins in the body through oxidation. It also boosts the immune system, kills cancer cells though a number of mechanisms, raises levels of antioxidant enzymes, breaks carbon monoxide-hemoglobin bonds, loosens the bonds between oxygen and hemoglobin to make oxygen more available to the body...............

13 Major Effects of Ozone On The Human Body as reported by Dr. Frank Shallenberger Considered one of the leading authorities on medical ozone, Dr. Shallenberger has done important work to support the hypothesis that ozone can have long-term positive effects on AIDS. He has also conducted workshops on the proper application of medical ozone at an International Ozone Symposium in Texas. He successfully treats patients with medical ozone via Major Autohemotherapy. The thirteen physiological effects are list below and are accompanied by a brief explanation. 1. Ozone stimulates the production of white blood cells. These cells protect the body from viruses, bacteria, fungi and cancer. Deprived of oxygen, these cells malfunction. They fail to eliminate invaders and even turn against normal, healthy cells (allergic reactions). Ozone significantly raises the oxygen levels in the blood for long periods after ozone administration; as a result, allergies have a tendency to become desensitized. Submitted by Dennis Richard of www.drhealth.com
2. Interferon levels are significantly increased. Interferons are globular proteins. Interferons orchestrate every aspect of the immune system. Some interferons are produced by cells infected by viruses. These interferons warn adjacent, healthy cells of the likelihood of infection; in turn, they are rendered nonpermissive host cells. In other words, they inhibit viral replication. Other interferons are produced in the muscles, connective tissue and by white blood cells. Levels of gamma interferon can be elevated 400-900% by ozone. This interferon is involved in the control of phagocytic cells that engulf and kill pathogens and abnormal cells. Interferons are FDA approved for the treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B and C, Genital Warts (caused by Papillomavirus, Hairy-cell Leukemia, Karposi’s Sarcoma, Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis and Chronic Granulomatous Disease. Interferons are currently in clinical trials for Throat Warts (caused by Papillomavirus), HIV infection, Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Leukemia, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, Colon tumors, Kidney tumors, Bladder Cancer, Malignant Melanoma, Basal Cell Carcinoma and Leishmaniasis. While levels induced by ozone remain safe, interferon levels that are FDA appoved (and in clinical trials) are extremely toxic.
3. Ozone stimulates the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor. TNF is produced by the body when a tumor is growing. The greater the mass of the tumor the more tumor necrosis factor is produced (up to a point). When a tumor has turned metastatic, cancer cells are breaking off and being carried away by the blood and lymph. This allows the tumor to take up residence elsewhere in the body; or in other words, divide its forces. These lone cancer cells have little chance of growing due to the TNF produced to inhibit the original tumor. When the tumor is removed surgically TNF levels drop dramatically and new tumors emerge from seemingly healthy tissue.
4. Ozone stimulates the secretion of IL-2. Interluekin-2 is one of the cornerstones of the immune system. It is secreted by T-helpers. In a process known as autostimulation, the IL-2 then binds to a receptor on the T-helper and causes it to produce more IL-2. Its main duty is to induce lymphocytes to differentiate and proliferate, yielding more T-helpers, T-suppressors, cytotoxic T’s, T-delayed’s and T-memory cells.
5. Ozone kills most bacteria at low concentrations. The metabolism of most bacteria is on average one-seventeenth as efficient as our own. Because of this, most cannot afford to produce disposable anti-oxidant enzymes such as catalase. Very few types of bacteria can live in an environment composed of more than two percent ozone.
6. Ozone is effective against all types of fungi. This includes systemic Candida albicans, athletes foot, molds, mildews, yeasts and even mushrooms.
7. Ozone fights viruses in a variety of ways. As discussed above, ozone also goes after the viral particles directly. The part of the virus most sensitive to oxidation is the “reproductive structure”. This is how the virions enter the cell. With this structure inactivated, the virus is essentially “dead”. Cells already infected have a natural weakness to ozone. Due to the metabolic burden of the infection the cells can no longer produce the enzymes necessary to deal with the ozone and repair the cell.
8. Ozone is antineoplastic. This means that ozone inhibits the growth of new tissue because rapidly dividing cells shift their priorities away from producing the enzymes needed to protect themselves from the ozone. Cancer cells are rapidly dividing cells and are inhibited by ozone.
9. Ozone oxidizes arterial plaque. It breaks down the nnnn plaque involved in both Arteriosclerosis and Arthrosclerosis. This means ozone has a tendency to clear blockages of large and even smaller vessels. This allows for better tissue oxygenation in deficient organs.
10. Ozone increases the flexibility and elasticity of red blood cells. When one views a red blood cell under a microscope, it looks like a disc. In the capillaries, where they pick-up (lungs) and release (tissue) oxygen, these discs stretch out into the shape of an oval or umbrella. This aids their passage through the tiny vessels and makes the exchange of gas more efficient. The increase in flexibility of the RBC’s allows oxygen levels to stay elevated for days, even weeks after treatment with ozone.
11. Ozone accelerates the Citric Acid Cycle. Also known as the Kreb’s Cycle or TCA Cycle, this is a very important step in the glycolisis of carbohydrate for energy. This takes place in the mitochonria of the cell. Most of the energy stored in glucose (sugar) is converted in this pathway.
12. Ozone makes the anti-oxidant enzyme system more efficient.
13. Ozone degrades petrochemicals. These chemicals have a potential to place a great burden on the immune system. They also worsen and even cause allergies and are detrimental to your long-term health.
Does O pass right through our skin into our cells?
If we swallow it how does it get absorbed?
You can get technical because the friend asking is a nuclear engineer.
Actually it is pretty simple. Ozone is a more radical form of oxygen. So it gets in to the body in the same manner as oxygen, by diffusing across the tissues in to the vascular system. In the colon and stomach the capillaries are closer to the surface making the absorption easier. For example the Russians use "oxygen cocktails" for Olympic training. They had found that oxygen will absorb through the stomach 40% faster than through the lungs. So they would train extremely hard then drink these oxygen cocktails to remove all the lactate then go train some more.
Here is a study on the absorption of oxygen through the skin:
http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/produkte.asp?doi=10.1159/000231526
In Europe they use facial steamers and inject the ozone in to the steam for facials. This produces weak peroxides that cleanse the pores and tighten the skin due to the astringent properties of the peroxide.
Yes, many solvents readily pass through the skin. Look at DMSO. And I have heard of people using WD-40 to spray on sore joints. And look at how readily most essential oils will penetrate the skin.
