foreword
Discern These Times speaks to the awareness of modern believers to current events and the interest in Bible prophecy. events discussed in the daily newspapers are connected with the revealed Word of God...
Prophecy being fulfilled today imparts excitement of expectation and inspires motivation to meet the prerequisites within the power of the Christian to hastening the coming of the Lord. perhaps the most notable of these prophecies are those concerning the return of Israel to Palestine and the restoration of Jerusalem to the sovereignty of Israel. it took widespread persecution of world Jewry World War II, the series of political actions of Britain, the League of Nations and the UN, the Jewish-Arab Wars of 1948, 1056 and 1967 to bring this to pass, but fulfullment is here.
the possibility always exists that the great powers will compel Israel to return some territory taken in war, or to internationalize Jerusalem and thus, defer this fulfillment. nevertheless, the state of affairs today approximates the prophesied events. some unfulfilled prophecies await the unfolding of history, such as the condition of security of Israel depicted preliminary to the last invasion of Palestine. we must be aware of the warning of Jesus that the generation which witnesses the fulfillment of these things will not pass away before His Advent occurs...for the first time in history the prerequisites of the Second Coming can all be fulfilled in one generation!
my interest was so stimulated by Dr. McMillen's exposition and
*8 explanation of Revelation with references to current events that I read the entire book in one day. many aspects of this prophecy are strikingly fulfilled. other applications which are made are ingenious (such as the application of the rider on the white horse of Rev. 6 with the UN) but are not so ready of proof. traditionally, the white horse and rider have been taken to represent the spread of the Gospel. many figures which have usually been considered to be figurative are accepted as literal by Dr. McMillen, such as the 200,000,000 army coming against Israel from the East. adequate grounds for such literal interpretation are given.
Dr McMillen exposes the lack of foundation for the placing of the Rapture, he shows that it logically comes at the sound of the last or 7th trumpet or just before the outpouring of the wrath of God. correctly he points out that the church and Christians will suffer the wrath of men, including the Antichrist, but will be delivered from the wrath of God. this fact is missed by consistent dispensationalists.
the emphasis upon Russia as the source of the Antichrist has much to support it. in fact, the comparison of the Revelation with the word of the old Testament prophets is quite convincing. the problems of a Millennium with resurrected saints and human being living side by side are not treated. But Dr. McMillen teaches that the literal Millennium will be on earth....

*11 Chapter 1 - Discern These Times
the writings of God's inspired prophets are indispensable in discerning these times. central in such a study is the Book of Revelation. its first verse gives the reason:
this is a Revelation from Jesus Christ, which god gave him so that he might show his servants what must very soon take place. (Revelation 1.1 Phillips)
1. no other book in the Bible makes such an outstanding claim for itself. in His Revelation, Jesus Christ permits man to see through His eyes some of the spectacular events of the lst days in this age. what a rare privilege!
...study of prophecy not only helps one to discern the present times and the future, but it also provides facts to support one's faith. Isaiah 41.23; 45.11; 46.9,10; 48.3-7) but Isaiah indicates that God, by predicting events long before they happen, proves both the reality of God's existence and His omniscience!
2. likewise today, when man can recognize 20th century fufillments of God's ancient prophecies, he then has a solid factual basis for his faith in god and His Word!
millions of followers in hundreds of other religions have Faith in idols and gods - as much or more than the average Christian. but none of these man-made religions has Objective Facts to confirm its faith, in
*12 contrast, the Christian who has studied the Lord's prophecies and seen their fulfillments in the past and in the present - that person has irrefutable factual basis for his faith in the Lord, the one and only God. here is one of the remarkable distinctions that sets Christianity at an infinite distance above all human religions and philosophies.
since the "Bible predicts that the last days of this age will be characterized by false teachers, unprecedented iniquity and a wholesale apostasy of the church (Matt. 24.9-13; II Thessalonians 2.1-3), fortunate is that person who can discern in such godless situations solid facts to encourage and give him objective signs to support his faith. but Jesus predicts the state of the undiscerning, the vulnerable Christians: 'Sin will be rampant everywhere and will cool the love of many'. Matt 24.12 LNT
but blessed and happy is the knowledgeable Christian who sees in this widespread and rapidly

6.10.2019 THE ONE-MINUTE CURE by Madison Cavanaugh
just sharing snippets from Intro thru chap 3...
*1 INTRO
the info you are about 2 read in this book will not only shock you, but also Anger and Excite you at the same time. ...the simple therapy presented...may be the closest thing to a Panacea that you've ever encountered and yet it has been deliberately suppressed by those who care less about protecting people's health than they do about their own financial interests.
if you are like most people, you probably find it hard to believe that any Single therapy, substance or element could have such a far -reaching and broad spectrum efficacy when it comes to curing diseases...
*2 what you are about to learn from this book is a simple, inexpensive therapy that can be self-administered at home in less than a minute - and costs about 1.5 cents per day. and estimated 15,000 European medical doctors, naturopaths and homeopaths have proved this powerful therapy to over 10 million people over the past 70 years to treat over 50 different diseases, but in the U.S. it has been relatively unknown....
*4 all scientific experimentation is subject to Confirmation Bias (or the Observer-Expectancy Effect) to a certain extent. confirmation bias is an unfair influence found in scientific research when a researcher expects a given result and therefore, Unconsciously manipulates an experiment in order to find that result. a researcher's particular ideology, worldview. superstitions, traditions or religion can cause him or her to assign greater weight to some data over other data. the human brain has a tendency to fill in the gaps of what it perceives and often times, a researcher may also be stubborn, unwilling to admit a mistake or embarrassed by having to withdraw a publicly declared belief. this, any conclusions derived from 'scientific studies' or 'clinical studies' are rarely unbiased and thus, cannot always be regarded as reliable.
at present , there exists a confusing array of so-called 'best practices' for every part of the anatomy, all Tainted With Bias to one degree or another. this has made the curing of diseases Seem like a complex and mysterious science with its own language that is beyond the understanding of the non-medical population - like the scriptural Tower of Babel that brought about a confusion of tongues.
what complicates the matter is that the field of medicine has given rise to a slew of organ-based specializations such as neurology, cardiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, urology, gynecology, endocrinology, etc. - as well as disease-based specializations such as oncology ..gerontology..that each have their respective modes of treatment and therapy. the end result is
*5 a medical model not unlike the legend from India about the 6 blind men who encountered an elephant.
...there once were 6 blind men who, upon encountering an elephant, gave their own individual assessments of the elephant. the first one happened to fall against the broad and sturdy side of the E, and concluded that the E is very much like a Wall. the second one, feeling the tusk, said the E was very much like a Spear. the third one happened to take the squirming trunk in his hands and said the E was very much like a Snake. the fourth one, reached out and touched the elephant's knee, and concluded that the E is very much like a Tree. the fifth one happened to touch the ear and insisted that the E is very much like a Fan. and the sixth one seized the swinging tail and said the E is very much like a Rope. each of the blind men was partly right based on his own subjective perception - but at the same time, Mostly Wrong. the comical part of it all is that their dispute stemmed from utter ignorance because none had ever seen the E!
*6 the field of medicine, with its compartmentalized theories about what causes disease and how to eradicate it from the human body, actually perceives only a Small Snapshot of the larger picture, a Localized Subset of the larger workings of the human body...
this, in no way, is intended to discredit doctors...practitioners and institutions..it simply points to an ineffective medical system that is focused on illness rather than wellness, , that promotes expensive (ie. profit-driven), invasive and potentially dangerous (or even deadly) medical procedures, drugs or treatments rather than simple, natural, inexpensive, effective treatments or therapies that have no side effects.
there's a Chines proverb which says:
the Superior Doctor prevents illness.
the Mediocre Doctor attends to impending sickness.
the Inferior doctor treats actual illness.
*7 while the majority of drugs prescribed by doctors may seem to provide relief (or so-called 'cure') for a disease, Most Of Them Simply Relieve Symptoms Or the Pain Associated With The Disease, But DON'T cure the disease.
..practically All Drugs Have Side Effects: that is, they cause Effects (including adverse and serious effects) other than those that are desired. sometimes, drugs provide relief for one health problem, but in the process, give rise to even more serious health problems. so we take drugs that relieve the symptoms of osteoporosis and in turn, acquire a high risk of breast cancer and we trade impotence for heart disease; or depression for diabetes; and take a pill for arthritis at the risk of getting a heart attack. there are even drugs that are designed primarily to alleviate the side effects caused by other drugs or medical treatments.
*8 and that's only touching on the side effects of Drugs. there are also side effects and serious health consequences that come with medical treatments like surgery, radiation or chemotherapy, for example. and even diagnostic procedures like X-Rays, mammograms and MRIs have their own attendant risks and side effects.
...when you consider the prevailing conditions that exist in the medical industry, you begin to see that your best interests are not served by relinquishing total control of your health to doctors, medical establishments or the pharmaceutical companies that promote 'Medicines' That Do Not Cure And Often Harm.
The Most Essential Element in the Human Body
in order to dismantle the complex healing modalities that the medical and pharmaceutical industries have created
*9 -and discover the path to True Healing - one needs to take a closer look at the core of human existence. the human body is composed of 7--80% water and water is 89% oxygen by weight. therefore, oxygen comprises 62% to 71% of the body, and is the body's most abundant and essential element.
90% of all our biological energy comes from oxygen. it is the essential element that the human body needs in order to Not Only Survive, but also have optimum levels of energy, function properly and become more productive.
consider, for instance, that humans can survive for weeks or even months without food and live for many days without water. but we cannot survive more than a few minutes without oxygen.
it is surprising, therefore, that people find it hard to believe that the very element, which is required by all humans in order to live is also the Secret to keeping us disease-free. medical professionals, in particular, would find the notion of curing virtually all diseases with oxygen rather Simplistic, or even lacking merit.
the curious thing is that oxygen is already used in medicine. Oxygen supplementation has been used to ease health conditions, such as emphysema and pneumonia that impair the body's ability to have a sufficient intake of gaseous oxygen. Hyperbaric (high-pressure) oxygen has been used to treat carbon monoxide poisoning, gas gangrene and decompression sickness. Oxygen has also been used for life
*10 support situations and on patients who require mechanical ventilation. patients on their deathbed who are given extra doses of oxygen are often kept alive long after they would otherwise have died.
however, because oxygen has seldom been used in the medical setting as a First Line Of Defense for preventing , let alone 'curing' diseases, it has never been accorded its rightful place as the cure for virtually all diseases.
the world of science and medicine has always known that oxygen is the basis of human life, without which humans die. this fundamental truth has become so overlaid with centuries' worth of extraneous matter that its essence has become completely obscured by the 'tower of Babel' created by the field of medicine.
this book will provide solid proof that the Primary Physical Cause Of ALL DISEASE is linked in one way or another to OXYGEN DEFICIENCY. in fact, many of the elaborate (and expensive )therapies offered by organized medicine take advantage of oxygen's effect on diseased cells. most conventional cancer therapies, for instance, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy, produce oxygen-activated events that kill cancer cells. another new cancer drug, verteporfin, increases the amount of oxygen within cancerous tumors and this kills tumors more effectively than radiation alone. Interferon drugs, which are vastly prescribed for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, owe their efficacy to the fact that they raise the body's oxygen level. one could draw the conclusion that may drugs basically work on the same principle of oxygenation described in this
*11 book, but those drugs cost tens of thousands times more than the pennies-a-day self-administered therapy I present herein. furthermore, the therapy I present does not come with any of the adverse effects typically associated with toxic drugs and other radical medical therapies
CHAPTER 1
*15 in this chapter, I will reveal the secret to oxygenating your body in a way that will ward off disease and in case you have already acquired a disease, give you an easy way to get rid of it. the oxygen therapy presented herein does not actual 'cure' disease, but rather creates and environment in your body that is uninhabitable by disease microorganisms, viruses, harmful bacteria and pathogens. therefore, you'll effectively be enabling your body to heal itself.
FACT; Americans spend more on health care, yet are sicker than most other people in the world...cancer, heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lung disease and a host of other diseases even though all those diseases are both preventable and curable.
....despite massive expenditures on medical treatments and drugs, Americans are sicker than ever before in our history...????
*16 the answer is this: Disease is big business.
Americans are spending over $2 trillion dollars on health care and that figure is expected to reach the $3 trillion mark by the end of the decade. over $1 trillion dollars of the spending is on Pharmaceutical Drugs.
Americans are spending over $2 trillion dollars on health care and that figure is expected to reach the $3 trillion mark (note: book written in 2008) by the end of the decade. over $1 trillion dollars of the spending is on Pharmaceutical Drugs.
with these kinds of revenues, there is no incentive on the part of the pharmaceutical industries to promote better health. they are the most profitable industry in the world. enjoying average profit margins of 30,000% to 50,000% on pharmaceutical drugs over the cost of raw materials. sometimes, their markups can be as high as 569,000%!...
as a result, the pharmaceutical industry has assembled a pharma-cartel consisting of an army of lobbyists that influence not only the entire medical industry but also the U.S. Congress; and by extension, the lives of the entire American population. Pharmaceutical companies spend enormous amounts of money to get doctors to prescribe their drugs to patients; to get the American public to believe, via the barrage of drug commercials, that they've got a health problem; and to get Congress to pass legislation that ensures their continued profitability...
*17 ...the irony of it all is that more people have died from preventable diseases than all the wars of the world combined as a direct result of the pharmaceutical business. these deaths were not just from the use of drugs (as in the case of the 106,000 deaths per year from the negative effects of drugs) but from the industry's Suppression of Information About Non-Drug Health Alternatives that could have kept people from dying.
pharmaceutical companies routinely use their power and unlimited financial resources to keep doctors from prescribing natural therapies - and their powerful lobbyists even get
*18 Congress to Disallow Established Health Claims For Natural Remedies. if you do some research on your own, you'll find this to be true. they have built an elaborate maze of manipulation, control, infiltration and economic incentives to systematically deceive millions of people into thinking that drugs are the only solution to disease.
the deception has become so pervasive that we have been brainwashed into thinking that whenever we are sick or are not feeling well, all we have to do is take a pill to feel better. according to a June 2008 article written by Dr. Joseph Mercola in his popular natural health newsletter, 'as much as the drug companies want you to believe that it's normal to take medicine every day, it's not. It Is The Rare Exception That You Should Ever need To Take A Drug'.
it is of no comfort that the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) the government agency created to protect public health, makes it a priority to promote drugs and the financial interests of pharmaceutical companies. this is so because many of the FDA's senior management and members of its advisory committees accept more than $50,000 apiece in corporate grants, contracts and consulting fees from pharmaceutical companies. it wasn't until the Vioxx scandal took place that the true nature of the FDA was revealed, along with its leniency toward the industry it's supposed to be regulating. in 2004, Merck marketed Vioxx for the treatment of arthritis and other conditions causing chronic or acute pain. later, it was discovered that Merck had deliberately suppressed the heart attack risks of Vioxx. the international medical community has criticized the FDA
*19 for not only being 'asleep at the wheel' while this was happening, but also of acting in collusion with Merck to cover up the truth. the irresponsible behavior of the FDA caused Dr. Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet (one of the most respected medical journals in the world) to state, 'this discovery points to astonishing failures in Merck's internal systems of post-marketing surveillance, as well as to lethal Weaknesses in the U. s. food and Drug administrations regulatory oversight.' Vioxx has since been taken off the market.
Fictitious Disease Abound
those in the wholistic health field have known for a long time that fictitious diseases are 'invented' all the time by the pharmaceutical industry for no reason other than to sell prescription drugs. if you've ever wondered why all of a sudden, there's an entire array of new diseases that were unheard of 10 years ago or more, this is the reason. diseases like intermittent explosive disorder (bad temper) bereavement-associated depression (grief), hypoactive sexual disorder (low sex drive), pornography addiction, compulsive buying or gambling, excessive Internet use, pornography addiction, ADD (attention deficit disorder) and ADHD attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) are examples of such so-called diseases.
ADD and ADHD, for instance, are simply conditions usually brought about by the overconsumption of refined sugar, junk food and soft drinks by children. the media declares ADHD an 'epidemic' of sorts because there are
*20 reportedly 6 million children in America (13% of the country's schoolchildren who are diagnosed with ADHD. the drug, Ritalin, became so popular because they made ADHD a bona-fide disease that required a prescription. and psychiatrists were only too happy because they got kickbacks from drug companies every time they prescribed Ritalin for kids who really were just a bit overactive (probably because of ...over consumption of sugar).
furthermore, in recent years, there has been a upsurge in the use of powerful psychotropic, mind-altering drugs to children as young as 2 and 3 years old. (at least in foster homes) because it is much cheaper and easier to keep them quiet than providing time-consuming car. the number of prescriptions for 'chemical straightjacket' drugs like Prozac, Paxil, Zyprexa and Depakote has increased by more than 100% between 1995 and 2000.
clearly, the pharmaceutical industry wants to categorize the majority of the population as having some kind of disorder. and if there isn't a legitimate disorder, why, one can always be invented! social anxiety disorder (shyness or lack of social skills) and fear of public speaking are just two so-called disorders that attempt to encompass the entire population. everyone suffers from one degree of shyness of another , depending on the social situation and fear of public speaking is a natural fear that most people have. these are not diseases at all, but rather normal human tendencies or behavioral differences. but when they're categorized as disorders, doctors are given the freedom to 'push' a variety of drugs on you - such as
*21 duloxetine for bereavement,
escitalopram for excessive internet use,
divalproex sodium for intermittent explosive disorder,
topiramate for compulsive gambling,
fluvoxamine for compulsive buying,
naltrexone for porn addiction and
quetiapine for fear of public speaking.
The Physicians Desk Reference (PDR) is considered the medical bible of drugs, wherein all prescription drugs are compiled (and which is updated annually) for use by doctors in prescribing drugs. if you look up a prescription drug in the PDR, you will find its 'mechanism in action', which is the mechanism by which the drug produces an effect on a living organism or in a biochemical system. frequently, the mechanism of action for a great number of drugs is listed as 'unknown',. sometimes the mechanism of action is stated in phrases such as 'it Appears to be' or 'it is thought to' or 'it is Believed that' which are NOT scientific words, but rather words that suggest educated guesses rather than information based on concrete scientific evidence.
for example, almost all psychotropics (ie. drugs used in the treatment of mental illnesses) have an unknown mechanism of action and yet they're wantonly prescribed because they've 'been demonstrated to' quiet down lab monkeys and prisoners. statins are another class of drugs that have an unknown mechanism of action and yet doctors prescribe them like candy even though they cause a wide array of adverse effects ranging from statin-induced myopathy (progressive weakness of the muscles) to cytotoxic effects to testicular pain. additionally, once you begin a statin regimen, you usually have to take the statin
*22 for life or you run the risk of getting a heart attack, which is what happened to former Vice President Al Gore after he stopped taking statins.
I am in agreement with Dr. Joseph Mercola that most prescription drugs are unnecessary and that they could actually be 'killing you legally- not to mention Robbing You Blind. instead of relying on drugs and paying close to a trillion dollars to the pharmaceutical cartel for drugs that do not cure (and often cause harm or even death), we must rely more on natural approaches for achieving optimal health.
Nutrition is Big Business, Too
I've been both an aficionado and avid researcher of natural and wholistic approaches to health since 1978 and have also written articles about them as a contributing editor for wholistic health publications. as such, I've witnessed an endless parade of 'natural' remedies and therapies go by in the last 30 years - some having merit and others providing little or no health benefit at all.
I've also seen countless products with marginal health benefits masquerading as 'breakthrough' discoveries when in actuality, they're nothing more than marketing puffery and shrewd advertising designed to capitalize on health trends. often times, I've observed hundreds, or even thousands of business enterprises spring up out of nowhere to cash in on such trends and fads.
Case in Point: the popularity of Dead Doctors don't Lie, an audio presentation by veterinarian and naturopath Dr. Joel
*23 Wallach explaining his core ideas about health and nutrition, sparked the frenzy over colloidal minerals in the 1990s. in the audiotape, which was reportedly distributed to over 50 million people, Dr. Wallach asserted that - 1) mineral deficiencies are responsible for most chronic diseases and 2) only minerals in 'colloidal' form contain all the essential minerals that can be adequately absorbed by the human body.
the above example shows how the antiquated 'traditional authority' approach to science and medicine used in the 15th and 16th century is alive and well in the modern world. the 'traditional authority' approach, as discussed in the previous chapter, consists of the idea that if a prominent person declares something to be true, then it must be so.in today's society, however, it doesn't even require a prominent person to establish something as the truth. sometimes, all it takes is a charismatic speaker who has the ability to make a credible argument or a brilliant marketer that can capture the imagination of the buying public and build an enormous marketing empire from a small morsel of information that isn't even established fact.
*24 for as long as the natural health and wellness movement has been in existence, health fads and trends that were founded on misinformation or erroneous factoids have come and gone. following are just a few of them:
* the popularity of margarine and hydrogenated oils as a 'healthier' substitute for butter and animal fats started in the late 1950s and early 1960s when it was thought that there was a correlation between heart disease and animal fat consumption. this was disproven in 2000 when it was discovered that trans-fatty acids, which are present in chemically hydrogenated oils and margarine, have harmful effects that are even worse than the consumption of animal fat. trans-fats have been linked to increased rates of coronary heart disease and cancer, as well as other chronic diseases.
(other examples given...
take high doses of beta carotene..to prevent cancer and heart disease...more cancer resulted
*25 ...*take large amounts of antioxidants such as Vitamin C. Vitamin E, super oxide dismutase (SOD), because such nutritional supplements supposedly scavenge free radicals which cause cell damage....(note proved wrong)
*gelatin capsules have long been touted as being the best thing one can do to strengthen fingernails...no..
* honey wholesome...actually 32% more calories per tablespoon than refined table sugar...
*26* 1986 canola oil healthy...much to the contrary with more research...
*27 nutrition is big business, too....
*31 it was while I was keeping abreast of the continuously expanding (and overwhelming) array of products and services in the natural health field that i came across a piece of information about oxygen therapy that was positively astounding. since i had known about oxygen therapy for decades and had even written about it on a few occasions, i was tempted to ignore the information and think
*32 (arrogantly) that i knew all about it already. I'm glad that, instead, I chose to give it the renewed attention it deserved.
I remember when I first heard about this little-known aspect of oxygen therapy (which involves Hydrogen peroxide), my heart pounded with excitement, realizing that this may be the closest thing to a panacea that the world has ever known. as i expanded my research, I was dumbfounded by the mountains of evidence showing that Hydrogen Peroxide (HP) has been used in various parts of the world by over 15,000 European doctors, naturopaths and homeopaths. its use goes as far back as 170 years ago and has healed millions of patients of almost every disease known to man, including 'the big 3' AIDS, cancer and heart disease. I began wondering why I hadn't encountered this info before and more importantly, why the whole world didn't already know about this. I soon realized why.
this simple, effective and inexpensive therapy for eradicating disease threatens the trillion-dollar pharmaceutical cartel....
*33 in my view...the hydrogen peroxide therapy I reveal in this book is far too valuable to human health to keep under wraps. I'm able to write about it only because i have a disclaimer in the beginning of the book that says the information contained herein is for educational purposes only and not meant to diagnose illness or meant to replace a doctor's advice.
even as i write this, steps are already being taken behind the scenes to take food- grade hydrogen peroxide(HP)o out of the market because it presents a threat to the revenues of the pharmaceutical industry. the Pharma companies are looking for legitimate ways to discredit food-grade HP and call it hazardous, even though HP has been given the GRAS designation (Generally Recognized as
Safe) by the FDA.
my stand on this matter is that it would be downright criminal not to disseminate info about the therapeutic benefits of food-grade hydrogen oxygen - especially since its dissemination could not only potentially save people's lives, but also improve the quality of their lives.
the reasons why the therapeutic use of food-grade HP is the most exciting therapy to come around in the health and healing horizon are Seven-fold:
#1 therapeutic use of food-grade HP is a systemic therapy (ie. affecting the body as a whole, rather than one specific organ or part). thus, it Creates An Environment in the body That Enables The Body To Cure Itself Of Virtually All Diseases Caused by Viruses,
*34 bacteria, toxins, disease microorganisms and pathogens, including but not limited to cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis , multiple sclerosis, heart disease, ulcers, asthma and many other diseases, including the flu.
#2 unlike other so-called 'cures' that tend to get inordinately focused on small details of biochemistry, oxygen therapy via food-grade HP is predicated on providing the most abundant and essential element of the human body. the body may need an array of different elements and nutrients such as CoQ10, magnesium, Omega-3 fatty acids and the like, but only oxygen is in such critical demand that an insufficient supply makes the body develop diseases and its absence causes the body to die within minutes. oxygen is what makes life possible and therefore it's An Infusion Of 'Life Force'.
#3 literature that proclaim the so-called healing benefits of other health and nutrition products are usually compiled by people who stand to gain financially from the sale of those products (which usually have very high profit margins). therefore, the accuracy and reliability for such information is suspect. in contrast, the information contained in this book (along with most literature you might find regarding the therapeutic benefits of food-grade HP) is Not Motivated By Profiteering. Food-grade HP is a chemical that has a very low profit margin and is widely available, therefore making it unlikely to be overpriced by profiteers. food-grade HP is a chemical that has a very low profit margin and is widely available, therefore making it unlikely to be overpriced by profiteers. food-grade HP COSTS ONLY 1.5 CENTS A DAY
*35 FOR THE RECOMMENDED DOSAGE, and takes less than one minute to administer. others claim to have developed machines that produce oxygen-saturated water, which supposedly provides a rich source of extra oxygen in a highly absorbable form - but you'll end up paying a small fortune (up to $3,980) and at best, get the same benefits you'd get for pennies by using food-grade HP.
#4 unlike other cures that may only be applicable to a certain segment of the population, oxygen therapy via food-grade HP has universal application in humans (with the exception of people who have organ transplants). it can even be used with pets.
#5 conventional therapies usually harm good cells in the body in the process of 'curing' disease. Pharmaceutical drugs and medical treatments such as chemotherapy are examples of such therapies which not only harm good cells but also shut down the body's immune system at a time when the body needs it most. the use of food-grade HP, on the other hand, creates an environment in the body that Kills Viruses, Harmful Bacteria, Toxins, Pathogens and Disease Microorganisms While Contributing To The Vitality of Healthy Ce;ls. because of the increased oxygen supply brought about by HP, the immune system is also boosted, thereby enabling the body to ward off disease and heal itself.
#6 many so called 'cures' are often just another player in a long line of health fads. after having witnessed many such fads being hailed as the be-all end-all cure, only to be.
*36 disproven by the next latest study (also motivated by financial gain), I've decided to put credence only on those Therapies That have Stood The Test of Time. successful therapeutic use of HP goes back over 170 years ago and continues till the present time, even though its use is largely suppressed here in the US.
CHAPTER 2 - The Most Dreaded Diseases of All Time
what is the most dreaded disease in America? according to a Gallup survey, fear of AIDS outweighs the fear of cancer, heart disease and even blindness. that may be because...
* many Americans believe almost everyone is susceptible to the deadly disease..(NYTimes 6.22.08)
*the number of people who have bee diagnosed with AIDS in the US has become alarming - rising to 35,219 and claiming 20.352 lives (source: Centers for Disease Control) and
*most importantly, it is an accepted fact that AIDS is not only incurable, but also fatal.
with those above points in mind, what would your reaction be if you heard the news that dozens of AIDS patients have not only reversed their death sentences, but have become completely free of the disease and now live normal, healthy lives?
your reaction would probably be one of disbelief, wouldn't it? while you might have heard of one or two AIDS victims who have been Miraculously cured, perhaps
*40 through some unconventional healing method, spontaneous recovery or divine intervention - you probably dubbed those cases a Fluke. but several dozen AIDS sufferers being cured by the Same Healing Modality could no longer be considered a fluke, could they?
now consider the second most feared disease in America. its the big C - cancer. there's practically no one in America who does not personally know someone who has been diagnosed with or has died of, cancer. it is estimated that at least 560,000 Americans die from cancer each year (roughly 1500 deaths per day). according to the American Cancer Society, 'the probability that an individual, in the course of their lifetime, will develop cancer or die from it' is 1 in 2 for men (50%) and 1 in 3 for women (33.3%) extrapolating from the male-female ratio of 49:51, the chances that any individual, male or female, will bet cancer in their lifetime is 41%!
this forecast seems quite terrifying, to say the least. but what if I told you that there is a remarkable, but often overlooked therapy that routinely 'CURES' cancer, even in cases when the disease wasn't caught early and even if it happened to be late-stage terminal cancer? and by 'cure', I don't simply mean the alleviation of symptoms but rather , the Permanent eradication of cancer and subsequent health restoration. would you believe that this is possible - and that these kinds of cures are already happening every day around the world?
I was initially skeptical when I first encountered the simple therapy that reportedly brought about these miraculous cures. however, the results of the countless case
*41 studies wee so conclusive and the evidence so irrefutable that i was soon convinced without a doubt that this was mankind's absolute best weapon for presenting and healing not just the 2 most dreaded diseases (AIDS and cancer), but virtually all diseases.
if you or your loved ones are suffering from any disease that is characterized by viruses, harmful bacteria, toxins, pathogens and other disease microorganisms, you cannot afford to be without the therapy described in this book. or if you happen to be one of the countless people who fears that one day you'll get a disease that 'runs in the family' or maybe develop one of many diseases that comes from getting older or from bad lifestyle choices, this therapy will lay your fears to rest.
What is.. Oxygen Therapy? (OT)
..is a term that refers to a number of different practices in which oxygen, ozone or HP are administered for therapeutic purposes. while there are various forms of oxygen therapy, much of the discussion in this book will focus on the therapeutic use of Medical Ozone and HP (also called Bio-OTs), which have yielded the most stunning effects in reversing the broadest spectrum of diseases.
more and more people around the world are regarding these tandem therapies as a cure - all for a variety of diseases and ailments and they are fast becoming the methods of choice for eradicating disease.
Oxygen therapy is not new. the very first recorded case
*42 in which oxygen was actually employed as a medical remedy was in 1783 by the French physician, Caillens, who treated a female patient with daily inhalations of oxygen and successfully cured her of phthisis (and archaic name for tuberculosis). the results of the therapy were published in the Gazette de Sante. in 1820, practical observations on the use of oxygen in the cure of diseases were published by Dr. Daniel Hill, a surgeon who was one of the early advocates of OT. OT was cited as being instrumental in successfully treating cases of nervous debility, epilepsy, hydrocephalus and scrophula.
in 1857, The Lancet published an article by S.B. Birch, M.D. wherein it was suggested that a diseased patient needs 'more oxygen than he can possibly obtain under many circumstances and in many diseased states from the atmosphere around him'. he further wrote that oxygen may well be a powerful therapeutic agent, but at the time, the medical profession overlooked or ignored oxygen as medicine due to the lack of fair trials on a sufficient scale in practice.
throughout the rest of the 19th century, superoxigenation and inhalationof oxygen gas were recognized as having therapeutic value and as an effective remedy in disease. the 20th century ushered in the use of oxygen in medicine and surgery, as well as intravenous injection of oxygen and oral rhythmic insufflations (def - to blow into some opening or on some part of the body) of oxygen for therapeutic purposes. in 1915, a German doctor named Albert Wolff became the first doctor to use ozone to treat patients with skin diseases.
in the 1950s, several German doctors began using ozone (alongside mainstream therapeutic modalities) to treat
*43 cancer. in the same decade, hyperbaric oxygen therapy started becoming the focus of many clinical trials and was used by cancer researchers. this mode of oxygen therapy employed hyperbaric chambers. wherein the patient inhales 100% oxygen at pressures greater than normal atmospheric pressure. since the 1950s to the present, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has helped heal and restore function for people with various neurological disorders and injuries, a partial list of which follows:
*Alzheimer's Disease
*Parkinson's Disease
*Diabetes
*Stoke
*Multiple Sclerosis
*Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS)
*Brian injury
*Learning disabilities
*Cerebral Palsy
*Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
*Autism
Why Does Oxygen Therapy Work So Well?
as discussed in the previous chapter , Oxygen Comprises 62% to 71% of the body and is the body's most abundant and essential element. 90% of all our biological energy comes from oxygen.
*44 furthermore, when you consider than disease-causing microorganisms, viruses, bacteria and pathogens cannot survive in oxygen-rich environments, you begin to see why oxygen therapy is the most powerful weapon for fighting disease. a highly oxygenated body is not only immune to disease, but it also destroys disease that already exists in the body.
if oxygen were indeed a cure-all virtually all diseases, one might jump to the erroneous conclusion that deep breathing is all one really needs to create an oxygen-rich environment in the body. unfortunately, that isn't the case. the fact is, even if our cities, towns and other residential areas had clean air with abundant amounts of oxygen (which they don't because of air pollution) and even if human beings remembered to breath deeply throughout the day (which they don't)
it still wouldn't be possible to take in as much oxygen as our bodies need in order for healing to occur and health to be restored.
furthermore, simply inhaling oxygen is not enough. Only 15% of the Oxygen You Inhale Is Absorbed Into The Blood Steam. Oxygen must enter the blood and the blood, in turn, needs to deliver it to the cells and tissues of the body. this, then would raise tissue oxygen levels, kill bacteria, viruses and defective tissue cells, enable healthy cells to survive and multiply more rapidly - and ultimately create a stronger immune system.
the bio-oxidative therapies presented in this book stimulate the movement of oxygen atoms from the bloodstream to the cells to a greater degree than is usually reached by other means. with higher levels of oxygen in
*45 the tissues, bacteria and viruses are killed along with defective tissue cells; normal cells survive and multiply more rapidly and the result is a healthier body.
one of the most important discoveries supporting OT occurred in 1931, when Dr. Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for proving That Viruses Cannot Proliferate Or Exist In An Environment With High Levels Of Oxygen. that's because viruses are Anaerobic, which means that they occur and thrive in the absence of oxygen. Dr. Warburg has been quoted as saying, 'Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become Cancerous'. he further stated that the prime cause of cancer cells cannot survive in a high oxygen environment.
one out of every 3 adults in America has cancer, but most incidences are as yet undiagnosed and undetected.additionally, Every Human Being has cancer cells existing in the body which are just seeking a low- oxygen environment were they can multiply into the full-blown disease.
there have been countless studies proving conclusively that increased oxygenation, whether in the form of HP, ozone or hyperbaric oxygen brings about the destruction of viruses. Cancerous Tumors Shrink When Put Into Contact with Oxygen. the studies conducted by other researchers and doctors have proven that not only cancer cells but almost all Toxins, Bacteria, Viruses, Pathogens and Disease Microorganisms are Oxidized and killed in high Oxygen Environments.
*46 as a result, we now know that cancer and other disease-causing cells simply cannot survive and thrive in a body that is oxygen-rich...
Louis Pasteur, the notable 19th French chemist and microbiologist best known for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and prevention of disease, recanted his germ theory of disease at his death bed, stating, 'the microbe is nothing. the terrain is everything'. the terrain of which he spoke is not the immune system, but the oxygenated environment of the human body. ..(which) only occurs when the human body lacks oxygen, thereby allowing pathogenic microbes to breed.
...germs, bacteria, viruses and pathogens do not cause disease, but rather seek out environments where they can thrive best - and that is in oxygen-deprived bodies.
*47 ...the only reason why the medical industry and the pharmaceutical industry haven't embraced this powerful solution for preventing and curing disease is because there is no financial incentive to do so. both ozone and HP are non-patentable substances and are very inexpensive to manufacture and use. furthermore, as mentioned in the previous chapter, the livelihoods of doctors, hospitals and other medical establishment would be threatened if virtually all diseases were to be eradicated by the proper administration of ozone or HP.
Ozone and Hydrogen Peroxide
*49 ..today, it is possible to receive ozone therapy through blood infusions at select doctors' offices. while most traditional doctors have not yet begun offering this therapy, it is not difficult to find a list of enlightened medical practitioners, clinics and hospitals that offer ozone therapy. . just do a search on ..Internet...using 'ozone therapy', as well as your city or country as keywords. there is also a foundation called the International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation which can provide a list of physicians trained and experienced in the practice of bio-oxidative therapies. the contact info is as follows: International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation, P. O. Box 61767, Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas 75261.
blood infusion of ozone is a surprisingly simple procedure. it entails drawing a pint of blood from the patient,
*50 and introducing specific amounts o ozone into the blood through a wire cord carrying a 300 volt charge. as the ozone is absorbed by the blood, the extra oxygen atoms are released into the blood, thereby creating a flood of oxygen. the blood, thereby creating a flood of oxygen. the blood then turns a vivid read, which signifies healthy, oxygen-cleansed blood and consequently, disease micro-organism are destroyed. the oxygenated blood is thereafter infused back to the patient and as the oxygen-stengthened blood disperses, it confers some of its virucidal properties to the rest of the patient's blood, thereby destroying the diseased microorganisms in the entire body...
*51 over 100 years ago, ozone was first used to purify drinking water in Europe. its unique characteristics make it ideally suited for water purification and it assures you of the cleanest and safest drinking water because it eliminates 99.99% of bacteria and viruses in the water. the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) even states that ozone is a water treatment that protects people from E-Coli....
*52 drinking 6 to 8 glasses of ozonated water daily establishes a high level of oxygenation in the body, facilitates detoxification and accelerates the healing process. there are many inexpensive ozonators on the market that you can find by doing an Internet search with the key phrase 'water ozonator'....
Chapter 3
...*56 during the reign of Queen Victoria over 170 years ago, when India was still a British colony, the Indian people found that HP added in minute amounts to drinking water cured a variety of illnesses from the minor ones like colds and flu all the way to serious ones like cholera and malaria. because its use threatened the British monopoly drug sales, they hired a news reporter disguised as a doctor to Fabricate a story about a child who supposedly died of brain damage as a result of taking HP . coming from a 'doctor', the story was accepted as the truth, even if it never happened. the misinformation tactic worked and the Indian people abandoned the practice of taking HP in favor of buying British drugs.
during WWI, doctors used intravenous injections of HP to successfully treat pneumonia. in fact, it was a key treatment for people who became ill during the pneumonia epidemic that broke out shortly after the war.
in 1920, a British physician in India named T. H. Oliver was the first to use an intravenous infusion of HP to treat a group of 25 Indian patients who were critically ill with pneumonia. Dr. Oliver's HP treatment effectively cut the standard mortality rate for pneumonia from 80% to 48%. since them, HP therapy has been studied in major medical research centers throughout the world,
*57 ...another person who is also considered a pioneer in the use of HP therapy is Father Richard Willhelm. during the 1940s, he created Educational Concern for H P ( ECHO) to spread the word about the numerous benefits of HP therapy. he found HP especially helpful in the treatment of skin diseases, polio and mental illness brought on by bacterial infections and believed it would prove an integral treatment for many more ailments. he created his non-profit organization hoping to inform the world about proper dosing and method for using the treatment. however, prescription medications also became popular during the 1940s. therefore, much of the attention that should have been placed on developing new ways to administer HP became focused on the development and uses of prescription drugs instead.
in the 1950s, Dr. Reginald Holman conducted experiments involving the use of .45% HP concentrations added to the drinking water of rats that had cancerous tumors. the tumors completely disappeared within 15 to 60 days.
in the 1960s, European physicians began prescribing HP to their patients. before long, the use of HP became an accepted part of the medical mainstream in Germany and Russia, as well as Cuba.
*58 although the successful treatments were widely publicized,US based physician who tried to adopt the bio-oxidative therapies involving ozone and HP were often harassed by local medical societies and threatened with the revocation of their medical licenses. as a result, hundreds of American patients flocked to foreign physicians every year seeking bio-oxidative therapies - and sadly, an untold number of Americans who had neither heard of these therapies nor had the money to travel to foreign countries to seek treatment, had to suffer needlessly or die of an untold number of diseases.
today, despite decades of clinical success, bio-oxidative therapies are still considered 'experimental' and not approved by the FDA. over 6,100 articles in scientific literature attesting to the success of ozone and HP therapy are presently in circulation (with an additional 50- 100 scientific articles published each month about the chemical and biological effects of ozone and HP), but sill a large portion of the medical community continues to overlook or purposely ignore this incredibly simple and inexpensive treatment option that could potentially solve the health care crisis. to date although over 15,000 European doctors, naturopaths and homeopaths are routinely administering medical ozone and HP to millions of patients, there are fewer than 500 doctors in the US who are courageous enough to use these bio-oxidative therapies in their practice. one reason for this is because info about medical ozone and HP is deliberately excluded from the
*59 curriculum in medical schools. furthermore, medical boards do not look favorably upon licensed physicians who use bio-oxidative therapies in their medical practice and have been known to threaten doctors with a revocation of their license (or even jail time) if they administer HP or ozone...
*64 ...Dr. P. M. Van Wulfften Palthe reported that inhalation of oxygen overcomes the effects of alcohol intoxication. curiously enough, it was also observed hat when alcoholics start taking HP orally, which oxygenates the body, they lose the craving for alcohol....
Reversing Everyday Brain Damage
another potential benefit of using HP is the reversal of the typical 'slight brain damage' caused by gradual oxygen deprivation. if you live in a city where the air is oxygen deficient, or you have an oxygen-depleting lifestyle, chances are, your brain's function has been compromised to one extent or another. most people undergo gradual oxygen starvation without even knowing it.
Chronically unnoticed lack of oxygen causes many inexplicable illnesses such as depression, lack of energy,
*65 irritability, malaise, impaired judgment and a host of other health problems. HP administration restores an ample supply of oxygen to the brain, reverses the brain damage and boosts energy, improves memory, alertness, concentration and even IQ.
the health conditions effectively treated by the proper administration of HP range from serious, life-threatening diseases to minor ailments that are more bothersome than conditions that compromise health, such as acne warts and halitosis. people even find that if they start HP therapy after the onset of the flu, they feel significantly better the next day and are well by the third day. HP offers a myriad of benefits that can help you with everything from serious diseases to the common cold and that's why it has been referred to by many as a panacea. (def -)
*66 What Doctors are Saying
while the medical community at large does not yet accept the validity of ozone and HP therapy (at least not openly), there is a growing number of physicians and researchers in the US who promote its use. many proclaim the benefits of HP therapy as nothing less than the greatest healing miracle of all time.
in a 4200 word article by Dr. David G. Williams one of the world's leading authorities on natural healing, he praised the health benefits of HP, stating, 'I'll admit I was skeptical when I first learned about using H2O2 orally or intravenously. this healthy does of skepticism, however, led to a great deal of investigation, clinical work and experimentation. and while i realize a large majority of readers will probably never be convinced that H2O2 is a safe, readily available and dirt cheap. and best of all, it works!
*67 Dr. William Campbell Douglass, a 4th generation physician and proponent of the therapeutic use of H2 O2, wrote that H'P is certainly a universal agent which can almost always be tried for an illness, often with great success.
in an article for a publication called Alternatives, Dr. Kurt Donsbach wrote: 'one ounce of 35% Hp (per gallon of water) in a vaporizer every night in an emphysemic's bedroom and they will breathe freer than they have breathed in years! I do this for my lung cancer patients.
in Mexico,health practitioners at the Gerson Institute and La Gloria Clinic enthusiastically recommend HP therapy to their patients because they tried it at their respective centers and found numerous benefits.
throughout the rest of the world, hundreds of doctors attest to the benefits of HP therapy. Dr. Charles H. Farr recognizes it as an effective way to rid patients of diseases once thought incurable.
one of the most notable physicians to recommend the use of HP therapy is the late Dr. Christiaan Barnard. in 1986, Dr. Barnard, who is most well-known for completing the first successful heart transplant surgery, began recommending HP therapy to his patients. he had been using it himself to treat arthritis and other ailments related to aging and was ridiculed so heavily by members of the medical community that he ceased claiming any affiliation with the hundreds of doctors who recommended the therapy. however, he did not retract the fact that he was using HP therapy himself. though oxygen therapy is still not considered legitimate by the medical community at large, numerous other health practitioners use it to cure virtually all diseases from cancer to vascular disease.
*71 CHAPTER 4
in the previous chapter, ozone therapy has been described as being powerful in curing even the deadliest diseases, particularly AIDS. it's worthwhile noting that most of the benefits attributed to the administration of hydrogen peroxide as well, since OZONE IS TRANSFORMED INTO HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN THE BODY. the mechanism by which hostile micro-organisms are eradicated by hydrogen peroxide is the same as with ozone blood infusion. like ozone, hydrogen peroxide (HP) kills viruses and other pathogens by oxidation as it spreads through the tissues of the human body. at the same time, the oxygen boost revitalizes normal cells.
HP is safe if used correctly and best of all, its health benefits are accompanied by practically
HOME USE OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
before you decide on how you plan to self-administer HP therapy, it is critical that you understand the different grades of HP available. the grades are as follows:
*72
3% Pharmaceutical Grade
6% beautician Grade
30% Reagent grade:
30-32% Electronic Grade
35% Technical Grade
35% Food Grade: this is the ONLY grade of HP recommended for internal use.
it's commonly used in the production of dairy products like milk and eggs. it is also sprayed onto the foil lining of products like juice and acts as an antiseptic. you can purchase this formula i pints, quarts, gallons and drums. contact your local alternative drugstore for more information on
*73 where to find 35% food grade HP. there are also several sources you can find on the Internet by typing the key phrase '35% Food Grade Hydrogen peroxide'. IMPORTANT NOTE: THE 35% STRENGTH NEEDS TO BE DILUTED BEFORE BEING TAKEN INTERNALLY. (See instructions below)
90%: this is used as a source of oxygen in rocket fuel.
INTERNAL USE OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
if you plan to ingest HP as part of your therapy, clearly, you will want to use only the 35% food grade formula. at this strength, however, the product must be handled with care.
it will burn your skin if you spill any and it is flammable.
should it come in direct contact with your skin, flush it out with water immediately. Under No Circumstances Should Youngest Undiluted Hydrogen Peroxide. even at slightly over 10% strength, HP cause neurological damage.
be careful to dilute HP properly using the suggested protocol in the table below.
many people find that the most convenient way to dispense HP is with a glass bottle via eyedropper cap. once you fill the glass bottle (label it '35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide' in order to prevent accidental undiluted use) store the remaining HP in the freezer, out of the reach of children. if you don't use all the HP that is contained in the

*75 bottle with eyedropper cap, you can leave it in the refrigerator until you administer your next dose.
the table on the previous page provides a suggested schedule for your HP therapy.
each dose takes less than 1 minute to administer.
***use only distilled water to dilute HP;
do not use water that has been chlorinated.
the drops should be diluted in 6-8 ounces of water.
when you have completed the 23-day regimen in the table,
gradually decrease the dosage by 1 drop a day
until you get the the Maintenance Dose of 3 drops
(diluted in 6-8 ozs of distilled water)
3 times a day.
this suggested protocol is based on years of experience and success stories from thousands of users.
if you have a serious condition, you may wish to try taking
25 drops 3 times daily for one to three weeks
during the beginning portion of the maintenance phase
before tapering down to 25 drops
2 times per day
for up to 6 months.
otherwise, you can reduce the maintenance schedule to between 5 and 15 drops
based on how you are feeling.
HP is not tasteless, so once you start adding more and more drops to your distilled water,
you may discover that it tastes like bleach.
*76 some people find it impossible to drink water containing 25 drops.
others find that chewing sugar-free gum (with no artificial flavors or sweeteners) after drinking the solution solves the problem.
if you find the taste unpleasant, try diluting the HP with 6-8 ounces of
milk, aloe vera or watermelon juice instead of water.
if you are still bothered by a bleachy aftertaste,
cut down on the number of drops you put into each glass and
increase the number of glasses you drink each day or
simply drink some water after you drink the oxygen water.
in addition to diluting HP with chlorine free (preferably distilled) water,
it is important that you Take It On An Empty Stomach.
the best times are at least one hour before mealtime
and /or at least 3 hours after mealtime.
HP will react with food's bacteria in your stomach and
the result is excess foaming, nausea and possibly vomiting.
if you become nauseated at a certain dosage level,
keep taking that dose for a few days until you feel comfortable.
although it is not common, you may experience symptoms including
nausea, fatigue, diarrhea and cold or flu-like symptoms
as your body attempts to expel large amounts of dead cells.
this phase is what is referred to as the healing crisis,
which is the body's reaction to the removal of disease-causing or toxic conditions.
it doesn't happen in the majority of cases, but some may experience it.
as well as a range of other minor symptoms.
do not stop your regimen if you experience these symptoms;
*77 you may be uncomfortable for a day or two,
but it means the therapy is working.
although uncommon, you may find that your skin may break out for a few days or longer
or you may even develop boils or other types of skin inflammations.
these symptoms mean that your body is working hard to get rid of toxins and
they will pass within a few days.
also, if you have certain viruses or bacteria in your stomach, like streptococcus,
you might feel nauseous for the first few days of therapy.
it is very important that you continue your HP therapy;
do not discontinue use if you experience bothersome symptoms.
keep in mind that your body is ridding itself of disease and toxins and
you will begin to feel much better within a few days.
if you want your DRINKING WATER TASTE LIKE FRESH SPRING WATER,
put 7 drops of 35% food-grade HP into a gallon of water and shake the bottle.
you can keep this mixture in the refrigerator and drink it as much as you would like.
INTRAVENOUS INJECTION OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Oral ingestion of diluted HP is not the only way H2 O2 can be administered for therapeutic purposes. it can also be administered by a trained physician via intravenous injection. much of the research and scientific literature extolling the benefits of HP was derived from studies involving intravenous injection. this form of bio-oxidative therapy has been used for the last several decades
*78 and was found to be effective in treating pneumonia as far back as post-world War I days.
intravenous injections of HP are regarded as being particularly convenient for health practitioners to recommend because they can be used in conjunction with almost any type of therapy used to treat diseases, although they do need to be administered separately from other treatments.
intravenous injections of HP work just like oral administration of H2O2 - that is, their mechanism of action is based on giving tissues a healthy boost of oxygen. with intravenous injections, however, the oxygen is delivered directly into the bloodstream and also causes the body to produce oxygen in response to the hydrogen peroxide. it is, therefore, a viable treatment option on its own.
intravenous injections of HP have proven particularly useful in treating emphysema. EMPH is most often caused by smoking and it attracts the alveoli, the small air sacs within the lungs. currently, there is no widely-recognized cure for the disease and patients have only been able to find some relief from their symptoms through conventional medical techniques. EMPH causes one's heart to work too hard to circulate blood and death often ensues because of eventual heart failure. although breathing difficulties of EMPH patients have been effectively relieved by running a vaporizer (containing one ounce of food-grade Hp in a gallon of water)throughout the night, eliminating all the other
*79 drastic effects of EMPH has been a challenging task. in this regard, intravenous injection of HP has become the choice therapy, yielding the most amazing results.
when injected, the HP goes to the diseased areas of the lungs and begins to bubble between the layer of mucus and the lining of the lungs. the patient coughs up the mucus as the doctor regulates the amount of HP that is administered intravenously. many patients have reported that intravenous injections have improved their breathing so much that they no longer need oxygen tanks and wheelchairs.
to find a physician trained to administer intravenous injections of HP, contact the International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation (IBOM), P. O. Box 61767, Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas 75261.
Making a 3% HP Solution
there are times when it would be convenient for you to keep a 3% strength food-grade HP on hand because at this strength, it has many uses that produce countless benefits (in addition to the benefits that are derived from the dosing regimen described earlier). this should not be confused with the 3% HP that you can find at your local drugstore because that pharmaceutical grade is for external use only and should not be ingested.
*80 in order to make a 3% solution that can be ingested, you must start with 35% food grade HP and dilute it according to the way it will be used. to start, pour one ounce of 35% food-grade HP into a pint jar, and add 11 ounces of distilled water. this will yield 12 ounces of 3% HP. make sure you label it'3% Food Grade HP' to distinguish it from the 35% strength.
you can use this diluted solution in a variety of ways, and you may find it convenient to store the unused portion in the refrigerator. if you wish to ingest HP, you will need to dilute the solution further. however, absorbing 3% HP through the mucous membranes, the lungs and the skin produces many remarkable health benefits. the list below, although far from being exhaustive, provides some of the external uses of 3% HP.
The Bums and Teeth
a 3% HP solution can be used at full strength as a mouthwash, or it can be mixed with baking soda for USE AS A TOOTHPASTE TO FIGHT CAVITIES AND GUM DISEASE, IN ADDITION TO WHITENING TEETH. in fact, the popular teeth whitening products on the market are effective because of their HP content. the advanced action employed by the expensive ampoule- based teeth whitening systems can be duplicated at home by dipping cotton swabs into the 3% HP solution and using them to
*81 gently target specific teeth. this safely whitens natural teeth optimally and safely lifts stains from porcelain crowns and veneers. you can do this twice a day, preferably after brushing your teeth. do not rinse the HP out after applying it with the cotton swabs and do not drink or eat for 20 minutes after application so as not to hinder the optimal contact time.
3 tablespoons of a 3% HP solution and a quart of chlorine-free (preferably distilled) water can be used as an enema or douche, which will ward off 'bad' bacteria. it will kill anaerobic bacteria in the rectum and colon and bacterial infections and yeast in the vagina. HP can also be used at 3% strength or diluted with warm water as a FOOT SOAK FOR ATHLETE'S FOOT AND DIABETES RELATED AILMENTS.
Absorbing HP Through the Skin
a particularly simple way to ABSORB HP THROUGH YOUR SKIN is to BATHE IN IT. try adding 1 to 8 pints of the 3% solution to a bathtub full of warm water. the water will cause your pores to open, allowing your body to absorb some of the HP. you may not wish to try this method close to bedtime, however, because the boost of oxygen may energize and keep you awake. some people have used HP baths to rid themselves of boils, fungus or other skin infections. (Other people have also used a pint of 35% food-grade HP in a
*82 tub of water, instead of 1-8 pints of the 3% solution and have reported a host of other benefits including PREMATURELY GRAY HAIR RETURNING TO ITS ORIGINAL COLOR.)
a foot bath using full strength 3% HP has been used as a n effective treatment for ATHLETE'S FOOT. DIABETES HAVE BEEN RELIEVED OF CIRCULATION PROBLEMS by soaking their feet for half an hour in a foot bath consisting of 1 pint of 3% HP and a gallon of warm water.
Inhalation Method
one popular and convenient method for ABSORBing 3% HP SOLUTION is THROUGH A NASAL SPRAY PUMP OR SPRAY BOTTLE. you can purchase a nasal spray bottle at a medical supply or beauty supply store. as an alternative you can buy a product contained in a nasal spray at our local drugstore, empty the bottle's contents, wash it thoroughly with soap and water and fill it with the the 3% HP solution. PUMP THE SPRAY BOTTLE/NASAL SPRAY PUMP INTO YOUR MOUTH 5 TO 10 TIMES WHILE INHALING THE MIST DEEPLY INTO YOUR LUNGS. repeat this TWICE IN THE MORNING AND TWICE AT NIGHT...
*83 if you have been FEELING SICK, ADMINISTER THE PROCEDURE EVERY 4 TO 6 HOURS. if you have a VIRUS, use the spray every 2 hours. usually, the virus will be gone within 36-48 hours, depending on its severity. if you have had a virus for a while, you may find that it takes a week or longer for the treatment to take effect.
ALTHOUGH THE AMOUNT OF HP administered VIA the SPRAY bottle/nasal spray pump method IS MINUTE, it is VERY EFFECTIVE IN ALLEVIATING NUMEROUS CONDITIONS. countless people have claimed that THIS METHOD HAS DRASTICALLY IMPROVED THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE BY GETTING RID OF AILMENTS RANGING FROM COLDS TO MELANOMA TO STIFF MUSCLES. one person reported having cured prostate cancer in a month and another reported that a happy side-effect of using HP nasal spray is improved self esteem. this is not hard to believe since a boost of oxygen often makes people feel energized. some even find that they must use it during the day because spraying close to bedtime makes them too away and alert to go to sleep.
AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO ADMINISTER TO THE LUNGS IS TO ADD IT TO A VAPORIZER OR HUMIDIFIER. many people find that adding 15 ounces of #% HP to one gallon of water in a vaporizer that is run all night, drastically improves their breathing and wards off colds and the flu. some people even note that they no longer snore.
*87
*90 DO I LACK OXYGEN?
in today's world, many people are oxygen-starved without realizing it. air filled with pollution and smog, aside from being oxygen-depleted, also inhibits our ability to take in sufficient amounts of oxygen. we breath slowly and shallowly when taking in pollute air and as a result, our bodies become accustomed to living with less oxygen. smog is full of carbon monoxide and other toxins and the body reacts by breathing more slowly and in a shallow fashion to take in less polluted air.
our atmosphere should ideally contain about 20% oxygen, but in some especially polluted areas, it is as low as 10%. as a result, it is virtually impossible for us to inhale the amount of oxygen we need to effectively fight off diseases. even as we continue to pollute our air, we are also cutting down trees locally and in the rain forests at alarming rates. trees breath in the carbon dioxide we breathe out, and they provide oxygen in return. fewer trees mean less oxygen for us to breathe.
tap water contains little oxygen because it travels though pipes, never being exposed to air, it is also treated with high levels of chlorine, which removes oxygen,. in addition, the way we cook and over-process food drastically reduces the oxygen content of our food. fast food and food that is manufacture and processed to have a long shelf-life are oxygen deficient. the over-prescription of antibiotics also has detrimental effects on a body's oxygen level because these drugs, wreak havoc on the oxygen-producing aerobic
*91 bacteria in the digestive tract. all of this, combined with the sedentary lives many of us lead, cause a lack of oxygen.
some researchers even believe that many people who are considered to be of average intelligence are actually functioning at much lower levels because of a lack of oxygen. without oxygen, a person will die within about 9 minutes. it stands to reason that a slight decrease in the amount of oxygen a person receives with have detrimental effects on the brain's function over time. those people who live in large cities with high pollution often feel depressed, tired and irritable and these symptoms could certain be due to continually breathing polluted air and smog. supplementing a healthy diet and exercise with HP therapy, will provide the brain and nervous system with a boost of oxygen that can help a person think more clearly and be more productive.
one of the most exciting prospects on the horizon is that HP therapy shows great promise as a way to prevent, treat and cure Alzheimer's Disease and dementia. in light of the fact that an estimated 4 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's Disease (approximately 360,000 develop it each year and over the next 50 years, the incidence of AD is expected to quadruple), the personal, economic and social ramifications of a HP cure cannot be over-estimated.
in addition to dementia, memory loss and Alzheimer's Disease, which are conditions suffered by a significant percentage of the aging population, many senior citizens are plagued by other bothersome realities of getting older as
*92 well. HP once again comes to their rescue. One patient, who is in his late 60s, found it nearly impossible to get out of bed in the mornings. his muscles and joints were so sore and stiff that he would have to roll out of bed and lie on the floor for a while before he could stand. a friend suggested that he try HP therapy by spraying the mist through a nasal spray bottle. he began using the spray a few times a day and after a couple of weeks he found himself able to practically leap out of bed. he was no longer plagued by the aches and pains often considered an inevitable part of aging and he soon found that he was less frequently visited y viruses and other ailments.
older people report that HP therapy seems to reverse the detrimental effects of aging and they often feel better than they have in years. simply supplying the body with a boost of oxygen will provide increased energy and alertness. more and more doctors believe it will prove the best therapy for all age-related diseases.
Oxygen and Food Consumption
overeating is a prevalent practice in modern living. the average person eats more food than his/her body can reasonably digest and the natural aerobic or 'good'bacteria in the body are affected. we also tend to eat too much over -processed fast food, which our blood cells must contend with. the main function of blood cells is to distribute oxygen to the body, but our eating habits often cause these
*93 cells to act mainly as the body's waste removal system. instead of supplying the body with oxygen, blood cells must get rid of food waste first. this waste ends up getting stored in various parts of the body.
as we continue to overeat, our bodies never have the foods we often eat are over-processed thereby containing low amounts of essential fatty acids which are critical to the body's ability to produce oxygen.
this is another reason why, more than ever, oxygen supplementation via HP is essential.
*1 INTRO
the info you are about 2 read in this book will not only shock you, but also Anger and Excite you at the same time. ...the simple therapy presented...may be the closest thing to a Panacea that you've ever encountered and yet it has been deliberately suppressed by those who care less about protecting people's health than they do about their own financial interests.
if you are like most people, you probably find it hard to believe that any Single therapy, substance or element could have such a far -reaching and broad spectrum efficacy when it comes to curing diseases...
*2 what you are about to learn from this book is a simple, inexpensive therapy that can be self-administered at home in less than a minute - and costs about 1.5 cents per day. and estimated 15,000 European medical doctors, naturopaths and homeopaths have proved this powerful therapy to over 10 million people over the past 70 years to treat over 50 different diseases, but in the U.S. it has been relatively unknown....
*4 all scientific experimentation is subject to Confirmation Bias (or the Observer-Expectancy Effect) to a certain extent. confirmation bias is an unfair influence found in scientific research when a researcher expects a given result and therefore, Unconsciously manipulates an experiment in order to find that result. a researcher's particular ideology, worldview. superstitions, traditions or religion can cause him or her to assign greater weight to some data over other data. the human brain has a tendency to fill in the gaps of what it perceives and often times, a researcher may also be stubborn, unwilling to admit a mistake or embarrassed by having to withdraw a publicly declared belief. this, any conclusions derived from 'scientific studies' or 'clinical studies' are rarely unbiased and thus, cannot always be regarded as reliable.
at present , there exists a confusing array of so-called 'best practices' for every part of the anatomy, all Tainted With Bias to one degree or another. this has made the curing of diseases Seem like a complex and mysterious science with its own language that is beyond the understanding of the non-medical population - like the scriptural Tower of Babel that brought about a confusion of tongues.
what complicates the matter is that the field of medicine has given rise to a slew of organ-based specializations such as neurology, cardiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, urology, gynecology, endocrinology, etc. - as well as disease-based specializations such as oncology ..gerontology..that each have their respective modes of treatment and therapy. the end result is
*5 a medical model not unlike the legend from India about the 6 blind men who encountered an elephant.
...there once were 6 blind men who, upon encountering an elephant, gave their own individual assessments of the elephant. the first one happened to fall against the broad and sturdy side of the E, and concluded that the E is very much like a Wall. the second one, feeling the tusk, said the E was very much like a Spear. the third one happened to take the squirming trunk in his hands and said the E was very much like a Snake. the fourth one, reached out and touched the elephant's knee, and concluded that the E is very much like a Tree. the fifth one happened to touch the ear and insisted that the E is very much like a Fan. and the sixth one seized the swinging tail and said the E is very much like a Rope. each of the blind men was partly right based on his own subjective perception - but at the same time, Mostly Wrong. the comical part of it all is that their dispute stemmed from utter ignorance because none had ever seen the E!
*6 the field of medicine, with its compartmentalized theories about what causes disease and how to eradicate it from the human body, actually perceives only a Small Snapshot of the larger picture, a Localized Subset of the larger workings of the human body...
this, in no way, is intended to discredit doctors...practitioners and institutions..it simply points to an ineffective medical system that is focused on illness rather than wellness, , that promotes expensive (ie. profit-driven), invasive and potentially dangerous (or even deadly) medical procedures, drugs or treatments rather than simple, natural, inexpensive, effective treatments or therapies that have no side effects.
there's a Chines proverb which says:
the Superior Doctor prevents illness.
the Mediocre Doctor attends to impending sickness.
the Inferior doctor treats actual illness.
*7 while the majority of drugs prescribed by doctors may seem to provide relief (or so-called 'cure') for a disease, Most Of Them Simply Relieve Symptoms Or the Pain Associated With The Disease, But DON'T cure the disease.
..practically All Drugs Have Side Effects: that is, they cause Effects (including adverse and serious effects) other than those that are desired. sometimes, drugs provide relief for one health problem, but in the process, give rise to even more serious health problems. so we take drugs that relieve the symptoms of osteoporosis and in turn, acquire a high risk of breast cancer and we trade impotence for heart disease; or depression for diabetes; and take a pill for arthritis at the risk of getting a heart attack. there are even drugs that are designed primarily to alleviate the side effects caused by other drugs or medical treatments.
*8 and that's only touching on the side effects of Drugs. there are also side effects and serious health consequences that come with medical treatments like surgery, radiation or chemotherapy, for example. and even diagnostic procedures like X-Rays, mammograms and MRIs have their own attendant risks and side effects.
...when you consider the prevailing conditions that exist in the medical industry, you begin to see that your best interests are not served by relinquishing total control of your health to doctors, medical establishments or the pharmaceutical companies that promote 'Medicines' That Do Not Cure And Often Harm.
The Most Essential Element in the Human Body
in order to dismantle the complex healing modalities that the medical and pharmaceutical industries have created
*9 -and discover the path to True Healing - one needs to take a closer look at the core of human existence. the human body is composed of 7--80% water and water is 89% oxygen by weight. therefore, oxygen comprises 62% to 71% of the body, and is the body's most abundant and essential element.
90% of all our biological energy comes from oxygen. it is the essential element that the human body needs in order to Not Only Survive, but also have optimum levels of energy, function properly and become more productive.
consider, for instance, that humans can survive for weeks or even months without food and live for many days without water. but we cannot survive more than a few minutes without oxygen.
it is surprising, therefore, that people find it hard to believe that the very element, which is required by all humans in order to live is also the Secret to keeping us disease-free. medical professionals, in particular, would find the notion of curing virtually all diseases with oxygen rather Simplistic, or even lacking merit.
the curious thing is that oxygen is already used in medicine. Oxygen supplementation has been used to ease health conditions, such as emphysema and pneumonia that impair the body's ability to have a sufficient intake of gaseous oxygen. Hyperbaric (high-pressure) oxygen has been used to treat carbon monoxide poisoning, gas gangrene and decompression sickness. Oxygen has also been used for life
*10 support situations and on patients who require mechanical ventilation. patients on their deathbed who are given extra doses of oxygen are often kept alive long after they would otherwise have died.
however, because oxygen has seldom been used in the medical setting as a First Line Of Defense for preventing , let alone 'curing' diseases, it has never been accorded its rightful place as the cure for virtually all diseases.
the world of science and medicine has always known that oxygen is the basis of human life, without which humans die. this fundamental truth has become so overlaid with centuries' worth of extraneous matter that its essence has become completely obscured by the 'tower of Babel' created by the field of medicine.
this book will provide solid proof that the Primary Physical Cause Of ALL DISEASE is linked in one way or another to OXYGEN DEFICIENCY. in fact, many of the elaborate (and expensive )therapies offered by organized medicine take advantage of oxygen's effect on diseased cells. most conventional cancer therapies, for instance, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy, produce oxygen-activated events that kill cancer cells. another new cancer drug, verteporfin, increases the amount of oxygen within cancerous tumors and this kills tumors more effectively than radiation alone. Interferon drugs, which are vastly prescribed for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, owe their efficacy to the fact that they raise the body's oxygen level. one could draw the conclusion that may drugs basically work on the same principle of oxygenation described in this
*11 book, but those drugs cost tens of thousands times more than the pennies-a-day self-administered therapy I present herein. furthermore, the therapy I present does not come with any of the adverse effects typically associated with toxic drugs and other radical medical therapies
CHAPTER 1
*15 in this chapter, I will reveal the secret to oxygenating your body in a way that will ward off disease and in case you have already acquired a disease, give you an easy way to get rid of it. the oxygen therapy presented herein does not actual 'cure' disease, but rather creates and environment in your body that is uninhabitable by disease microorganisms, viruses, harmful bacteria and pathogens. therefore, you'll effectively be enabling your body to heal itself.
FACT; Americans spend more on health care, yet are sicker than most other people in the world...cancer, heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lung disease and a host of other diseases even though all those diseases are both preventable and curable.
....despite massive expenditures on medical treatments and drugs, Americans are sicker than ever before in our history...????
*16 the answer is this: Disease is big business.
Americans are spending over $2 trillion dollars on health care and that figure is expected to reach the $3 trillion mark by the end of the decade. over $1 trillion dollars of the spending is on Pharmaceutical Drugs.
Americans are spending over $2 trillion dollars on health care and that figure is expected to reach the $3 trillion mark (note: book written in 2008) by the end of the decade. over $1 trillion dollars of the spending is on Pharmaceutical Drugs.
with these kinds of revenues, there is no incentive on the part of the pharmaceutical industries to promote better health. they are the most profitable industry in the world. enjoying average profit margins of 30,000% to 50,000% on pharmaceutical drugs over the cost of raw materials. sometimes, their markups can be as high as 569,000%!...
as a result, the pharmaceutical industry has assembled a pharma-cartel consisting of an army of lobbyists that influence not only the entire medical industry but also the U.S. Congress; and by extension, the lives of the entire American population. Pharmaceutical companies spend enormous amounts of money to get doctors to prescribe their drugs to patients; to get the American public to believe, via the barrage of drug commercials, that they've got a health problem; and to get Congress to pass legislation that ensures their continued profitability...
*17 ...the irony of it all is that more people have died from preventable diseases than all the wars of the world combined as a direct result of the pharmaceutical business. these deaths were not just from the use of drugs (as in the case of the 106,000 deaths per year from the negative effects of drugs) but from the industry's Suppression of Information About Non-Drug Health Alternatives that could have kept people from dying.
pharmaceutical companies routinely use their power and unlimited financial resources to keep doctors from prescribing natural therapies - and their powerful lobbyists even get
*18 Congress to Disallow Established Health Claims For Natural Remedies. if you do some research on your own, you'll find this to be true. they have built an elaborate maze of manipulation, control, infiltration and economic incentives to systematically deceive millions of people into thinking that drugs are the only solution to disease.
the deception has become so pervasive that we have been brainwashed into thinking that whenever we are sick or are not feeling well, all we have to do is take a pill to feel better. according to a June 2008 article written by Dr. Joseph Mercola in his popular natural health newsletter, 'as much as the drug companies want you to believe that it's normal to take medicine every day, it's not. It Is The Rare Exception That You Should Ever need To Take A Drug'.
it is of no comfort that the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) the government agency created to protect public health, makes it a priority to promote drugs and the financial interests of pharmaceutical companies. this is so because many of the FDA's senior management and members of its advisory committees accept more than $50,000 apiece in corporate grants, contracts and consulting fees from pharmaceutical companies. it wasn't until the Vioxx scandal took place that the true nature of the FDA was revealed, along with its leniency toward the industry it's supposed to be regulating. in 2004, Merck marketed Vioxx for the treatment of arthritis and other conditions causing chronic or acute pain. later, it was discovered that Merck had deliberately suppressed the heart attack risks of Vioxx. the international medical community has criticized the FDA
*19 for not only being 'asleep at the wheel' while this was happening, but also of acting in collusion with Merck to cover up the truth. the irresponsible behavior of the FDA caused Dr. Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet (one of the most respected medical journals in the world) to state, 'this discovery points to astonishing failures in Merck's internal systems of post-marketing surveillance, as well as to lethal Weaknesses in the U. s. food and Drug administrations regulatory oversight.' Vioxx has since been taken off the market.
Fictitious Disease Abound
those in the wholistic health field have known for a long time that fictitious diseases are 'invented' all the time by the pharmaceutical industry for no reason other than to sell prescription drugs. if you've ever wondered why all of a sudden, there's an entire array of new diseases that were unheard of 10 years ago or more, this is the reason. diseases like intermittent explosive disorder (bad temper) bereavement-associated depression (grief), hypoactive sexual disorder (low sex drive), pornography addiction, compulsive buying or gambling, excessive Internet use, pornography addiction, ADD (attention deficit disorder) and ADHD attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) are examples of such so-called diseases.
ADD and ADHD, for instance, are simply conditions usually brought about by the overconsumption of refined sugar, junk food and soft drinks by children. the media declares ADHD an 'epidemic' of sorts because there are
*20 reportedly 6 million children in America (13% of the country's schoolchildren who are diagnosed with ADHD. the drug, Ritalin, became so popular because they made ADHD a bona-fide disease that required a prescription. and psychiatrists were only too happy because they got kickbacks from drug companies every time they prescribed Ritalin for kids who really were just a bit overactive (probably because of ...over consumption of sugar).
furthermore, in recent years, there has been a upsurge in the use of powerful psychotropic, mind-altering drugs to children as young as 2 and 3 years old. (at least in foster homes) because it is much cheaper and easier to keep them quiet than providing time-consuming car. the number of prescriptions for 'chemical straightjacket' drugs like Prozac, Paxil, Zyprexa and Depakote has increased by more than 100% between 1995 and 2000.
clearly, the pharmaceutical industry wants to categorize the majority of the population as having some kind of disorder. and if there isn't a legitimate disorder, why, one can always be invented! social anxiety disorder (shyness or lack of social skills) and fear of public speaking are just two so-called disorders that attempt to encompass the entire population. everyone suffers from one degree of shyness of another , depending on the social situation and fear of public speaking is a natural fear that most people have. these are not diseases at all, but rather normal human tendencies or behavioral differences. but when they're categorized as disorders, doctors are given the freedom to 'push' a variety of drugs on you - such as
*21 duloxetine for bereavement,
escitalopram for excessive internet use,
divalproex sodium for intermittent explosive disorder,
topiramate for compulsive gambling,
fluvoxamine for compulsive buying,
naltrexone for porn addiction and
quetiapine for fear of public speaking.
The Physicians Desk Reference (PDR) is considered the medical bible of drugs, wherein all prescription drugs are compiled (and which is updated annually) for use by doctors in prescribing drugs. if you look up a prescription drug in the PDR, you will find its 'mechanism in action', which is the mechanism by which the drug produces an effect on a living organism or in a biochemical system. frequently, the mechanism of action for a great number of drugs is listed as 'unknown',. sometimes the mechanism of action is stated in phrases such as 'it Appears to be' or 'it is thought to' or 'it is Believed that' which are NOT scientific words, but rather words that suggest educated guesses rather than information based on concrete scientific evidence.
for example, almost all psychotropics (ie. drugs used in the treatment of mental illnesses) have an unknown mechanism of action and yet they're wantonly prescribed because they've 'been demonstrated to' quiet down lab monkeys and prisoners. statins are another class of drugs that have an unknown mechanism of action and yet doctors prescribe them like candy even though they cause a wide array of adverse effects ranging from statin-induced myopathy (progressive weakness of the muscles) to cytotoxic effects to testicular pain. additionally, once you begin a statin regimen, you usually have to take the statin
*22 for life or you run the risk of getting a heart attack, which is what happened to former Vice President Al Gore after he stopped taking statins.
I am in agreement with Dr. Joseph Mercola that most prescription drugs are unnecessary and that they could actually be 'killing you legally- not to mention Robbing You Blind. instead of relying on drugs and paying close to a trillion dollars to the pharmaceutical cartel for drugs that do not cure (and often cause harm or even death), we must rely more on natural approaches for achieving optimal health.
Nutrition is Big Business, Too
I've been both an aficionado and avid researcher of natural and wholistic approaches to health since 1978 and have also written articles about them as a contributing editor for wholistic health publications. as such, I've witnessed an endless parade of 'natural' remedies and therapies go by in the last 30 years - some having merit and others providing little or no health benefit at all.
I've also seen countless products with marginal health benefits masquerading as 'breakthrough' discoveries when in actuality, they're nothing more than marketing puffery and shrewd advertising designed to capitalize on health trends. often times, I've observed hundreds, or even thousands of business enterprises spring up out of nowhere to cash in on such trends and fads.
Case in Point: the popularity of Dead Doctors don't Lie, an audio presentation by veterinarian and naturopath Dr. Joel
*23 Wallach explaining his core ideas about health and nutrition, sparked the frenzy over colloidal minerals in the 1990s. in the audiotape, which was reportedly distributed to over 50 million people, Dr. Wallach asserted that - 1) mineral deficiencies are responsible for most chronic diseases and 2) only minerals in 'colloidal' form contain all the essential minerals that can be adequately absorbed by the human body.
the above example shows how the antiquated 'traditional authority' approach to science and medicine used in the 15th and 16th century is alive and well in the modern world. the 'traditional authority' approach, as discussed in the previous chapter, consists of the idea that if a prominent person declares something to be true, then it must be so.in today's society, however, it doesn't even require a prominent person to establish something as the truth. sometimes, all it takes is a charismatic speaker who has the ability to make a credible argument or a brilliant marketer that can capture the imagination of the buying public and build an enormous marketing empire from a small morsel of information that isn't even established fact.
*24 for as long as the natural health and wellness movement has been in existence, health fads and trends that were founded on misinformation or erroneous factoids have come and gone. following are just a few of them:
* the popularity of margarine and hydrogenated oils as a 'healthier' substitute for butter and animal fats started in the late 1950s and early 1960s when it was thought that there was a correlation between heart disease and animal fat consumption. this was disproven in 2000 when it was discovered that trans-fatty acids, which are present in chemically hydrogenated oils and margarine, have harmful effects that are even worse than the consumption of animal fat. trans-fats have been linked to increased rates of coronary heart disease and cancer, as well as other chronic diseases.
(other examples given...
take high doses of beta carotene..to prevent cancer and heart disease...more cancer resulted
*25 ...*take large amounts of antioxidants such as Vitamin C. Vitamin E, super oxide dismutase (SOD), because such nutritional supplements supposedly scavenge free radicals which cause cell damage....(note proved wrong)
*gelatin capsules have long been touted as being the best thing one can do to strengthen fingernails...no..
* honey wholesome...actually 32% more calories per tablespoon than refined table sugar...
*26* 1986 canola oil healthy...much to the contrary with more research...
*27 nutrition is big business, too....
*31 it was while I was keeping abreast of the continuously expanding (and overwhelming) array of products and services in the natural health field that i came across a piece of information about oxygen therapy that was positively astounding. since i had known about oxygen therapy for decades and had even written about it on a few occasions, i was tempted to ignore the information and think
*32 (arrogantly) that i knew all about it already. I'm glad that, instead, I chose to give it the renewed attention it deserved.
I remember when I first heard about this little-known aspect of oxygen therapy (which involves Hydrogen peroxide), my heart pounded with excitement, realizing that this may be the closest thing to a panacea that the world has ever known. as i expanded my research, I was dumbfounded by the mountains of evidence showing that Hydrogen Peroxide (HP) has been used in various parts of the world by over 15,000 European doctors, naturopaths and homeopaths. its use goes as far back as 170 years ago and has healed millions of patients of almost every disease known to man, including 'the big 3' AIDS, cancer and heart disease. I began wondering why I hadn't encountered this info before and more importantly, why the whole world didn't already know about this. I soon realized why.
this simple, effective and inexpensive therapy for eradicating disease threatens the trillion-dollar pharmaceutical cartel....
*33 in my view...the hydrogen peroxide therapy I reveal in this book is far too valuable to human health to keep under wraps. I'm able to write about it only because i have a disclaimer in the beginning of the book that says the information contained herein is for educational purposes only and not meant to diagnose illness or meant to replace a doctor's advice.
even as i write this, steps are already being taken behind the scenes to take food- grade hydrogen peroxide(HP)o out of the market because it presents a threat to the revenues of the pharmaceutical industry. the Pharma companies are looking for legitimate ways to discredit food-grade HP and call it hazardous, even though HP has been given the GRAS designation (Generally Recognized as
Safe) by the FDA.
my stand on this matter is that it would be downright criminal not to disseminate info about the therapeutic benefits of food-grade hydrogen oxygen - especially since its dissemination could not only potentially save people's lives, but also improve the quality of their lives.
the reasons why the therapeutic use of food-grade HP is the most exciting therapy to come around in the health and healing horizon are Seven-fold:
#1 therapeutic use of food-grade HP is a systemic therapy (ie. affecting the body as a whole, rather than one specific organ or part). thus, it Creates An Environment in the body That Enables The Body To Cure Itself Of Virtually All Diseases Caused by Viruses,
*34 bacteria, toxins, disease microorganisms and pathogens, including but not limited to cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis , multiple sclerosis, heart disease, ulcers, asthma and many other diseases, including the flu.
#2 unlike other so-called 'cures' that tend to get inordinately focused on small details of biochemistry, oxygen therapy via food-grade HP is predicated on providing the most abundant and essential element of the human body. the body may need an array of different elements and nutrients such as CoQ10, magnesium, Omega-3 fatty acids and the like, but only oxygen is in such critical demand that an insufficient supply makes the body develop diseases and its absence causes the body to die within minutes. oxygen is what makes life possible and therefore it's An Infusion Of 'Life Force'.
#3 literature that proclaim the so-called healing benefits of other health and nutrition products are usually compiled by people who stand to gain financially from the sale of those products (which usually have very high profit margins). therefore, the accuracy and reliability for such information is suspect. in contrast, the information contained in this book (along with most literature you might find regarding the therapeutic benefits of food-grade HP) is Not Motivated By Profiteering. Food-grade HP is a chemical that has a very low profit margin and is widely available, therefore making it unlikely to be overpriced by profiteers. food-grade HP is a chemical that has a very low profit margin and is widely available, therefore making it unlikely to be overpriced by profiteers. food-grade HP COSTS ONLY 1.5 CENTS A DAY
*35 FOR THE RECOMMENDED DOSAGE, and takes less than one minute to administer. others claim to have developed machines that produce oxygen-saturated water, which supposedly provides a rich source of extra oxygen in a highly absorbable form - but you'll end up paying a small fortune (up to $3,980) and at best, get the same benefits you'd get for pennies by using food-grade HP.
#4 unlike other cures that may only be applicable to a certain segment of the population, oxygen therapy via food-grade HP has universal application in humans (with the exception of people who have organ transplants). it can even be used with pets.
#5 conventional therapies usually harm good cells in the body in the process of 'curing' disease. Pharmaceutical drugs and medical treatments such as chemotherapy are examples of such therapies which not only harm good cells but also shut down the body's immune system at a time when the body needs it most. the use of food-grade HP, on the other hand, creates an environment in the body that Kills Viruses, Harmful Bacteria, Toxins, Pathogens and Disease Microorganisms While Contributing To The Vitality of Healthy Ce;ls. because of the increased oxygen supply brought about by HP, the immune system is also boosted, thereby enabling the body to ward off disease and heal itself.
#6 many so called 'cures' are often just another player in a long line of health fads. after having witnessed many such fads being hailed as the be-all end-all cure, only to be.
*36 disproven by the next latest study (also motivated by financial gain), I've decided to put credence only on those Therapies That have Stood The Test of Time. successful therapeutic use of HP goes back over 170 years ago and continues till the present time, even though its use is largely suppressed here in the US.
CHAPTER 2 - The Most Dreaded Diseases of All Time
what is the most dreaded disease in America? according to a Gallup survey, fear of AIDS outweighs the fear of cancer, heart disease and even blindness. that may be because...
* many Americans believe almost everyone is susceptible to the deadly disease..(NYTimes 6.22.08)
*the number of people who have bee diagnosed with AIDS in the US has become alarming - rising to 35,219 and claiming 20.352 lives (source: Centers for Disease Control) and
*most importantly, it is an accepted fact that AIDS is not only incurable, but also fatal.
with those above points in mind, what would your reaction be if you heard the news that dozens of AIDS patients have not only reversed their death sentences, but have become completely free of the disease and now live normal, healthy lives?
your reaction would probably be one of disbelief, wouldn't it? while you might have heard of one or two AIDS victims who have been Miraculously cured, perhaps
*40 through some unconventional healing method, spontaneous recovery or divine intervention - you probably dubbed those cases a Fluke. but several dozen AIDS sufferers being cured by the Same Healing Modality could no longer be considered a fluke, could they?
now consider the second most feared disease in America. its the big C - cancer. there's practically no one in America who does not personally know someone who has been diagnosed with or has died of, cancer. it is estimated that at least 560,000 Americans die from cancer each year (roughly 1500 deaths per day). according to the American Cancer Society, 'the probability that an individual, in the course of their lifetime, will develop cancer or die from it' is 1 in 2 for men (50%) and 1 in 3 for women (33.3%) extrapolating from the male-female ratio of 49:51, the chances that any individual, male or female, will bet cancer in their lifetime is 41%!
this forecast seems quite terrifying, to say the least. but what if I told you that there is a remarkable, but often overlooked therapy that routinely 'CURES' cancer, even in cases when the disease wasn't caught early and even if it happened to be late-stage terminal cancer? and by 'cure', I don't simply mean the alleviation of symptoms but rather , the Permanent eradication of cancer and subsequent health restoration. would you believe that this is possible - and that these kinds of cures are already happening every day around the world?
I was initially skeptical when I first encountered the simple therapy that reportedly brought about these miraculous cures. however, the results of the countless case
*41 studies wee so conclusive and the evidence so irrefutable that i was soon convinced without a doubt that this was mankind's absolute best weapon for presenting and healing not just the 2 most dreaded diseases (AIDS and cancer), but virtually all diseases.
if you or your loved ones are suffering from any disease that is characterized by viruses, harmful bacteria, toxins, pathogens and other disease microorganisms, you cannot afford to be without the therapy described in this book. or if you happen to be one of the countless people who fears that one day you'll get a disease that 'runs in the family' or maybe develop one of many diseases that comes from getting older or from bad lifestyle choices, this therapy will lay your fears to rest.
What is.. Oxygen Therapy? (OT)
..is a term that refers to a number of different practices in which oxygen, ozone or HP are administered for therapeutic purposes. while there are various forms of oxygen therapy, much of the discussion in this book will focus on the therapeutic use of Medical Ozone and HP (also called Bio-OTs), which have yielded the most stunning effects in reversing the broadest spectrum of diseases.
more and more people around the world are regarding these tandem therapies as a cure - all for a variety of diseases and ailments and they are fast becoming the methods of choice for eradicating disease.
Oxygen therapy is not new. the very first recorded case
*42 in which oxygen was actually employed as a medical remedy was in 1783 by the French physician, Caillens, who treated a female patient with daily inhalations of oxygen and successfully cured her of phthisis (and archaic name for tuberculosis). the results of the therapy were published in the Gazette de Sante. in 1820, practical observations on the use of oxygen in the cure of diseases were published by Dr. Daniel Hill, a surgeon who was one of the early advocates of OT. OT was cited as being instrumental in successfully treating cases of nervous debility, epilepsy, hydrocephalus and scrophula.
in 1857, The Lancet published an article by S.B. Birch, M.D. wherein it was suggested that a diseased patient needs 'more oxygen than he can possibly obtain under many circumstances and in many diseased states from the atmosphere around him'. he further wrote that oxygen may well be a powerful therapeutic agent, but at the time, the medical profession overlooked or ignored oxygen as medicine due to the lack of fair trials on a sufficient scale in practice.
throughout the rest of the 19th century, superoxigenation and inhalationof oxygen gas were recognized as having therapeutic value and as an effective remedy in disease. the 20th century ushered in the use of oxygen in medicine and surgery, as well as intravenous injection of oxygen and oral rhythmic insufflations (def - to blow into some opening or on some part of the body) of oxygen for therapeutic purposes. in 1915, a German doctor named Albert Wolff became the first doctor to use ozone to treat patients with skin diseases.
in the 1950s, several German doctors began using ozone (alongside mainstream therapeutic modalities) to treat
*43 cancer. in the same decade, hyperbaric oxygen therapy started becoming the focus of many clinical trials and was used by cancer researchers. this mode of oxygen therapy employed hyperbaric chambers. wherein the patient inhales 100% oxygen at pressures greater than normal atmospheric pressure. since the 1950s to the present, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has helped heal and restore function for people with various neurological disorders and injuries, a partial list of which follows:
*Alzheimer's Disease
*Parkinson's Disease
*Diabetes
*Stoke
*Multiple Sclerosis
*Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS)
*Brian injury
*Learning disabilities
*Cerebral Palsy
*Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
*Autism
Why Does Oxygen Therapy Work So Well?
as discussed in the previous chapter , Oxygen Comprises 62% to 71% of the body and is the body's most abundant and essential element. 90% of all our biological energy comes from oxygen.
*44 furthermore, when you consider than disease-causing microorganisms, viruses, bacteria and pathogens cannot survive in oxygen-rich environments, you begin to see why oxygen therapy is the most powerful weapon for fighting disease. a highly oxygenated body is not only immune to disease, but it also destroys disease that already exists in the body.
if oxygen were indeed a cure-all virtually all diseases, one might jump to the erroneous conclusion that deep breathing is all one really needs to create an oxygen-rich environment in the body. unfortunately, that isn't the case. the fact is, even if our cities, towns and other residential areas had clean air with abundant amounts of oxygen (which they don't because of air pollution) and even if human beings remembered to breath deeply throughout the day (which they don't)
it still wouldn't be possible to take in as much oxygen as our bodies need in order for healing to occur and health to be restored.
furthermore, simply inhaling oxygen is not enough. Only 15% of the Oxygen You Inhale Is Absorbed Into The Blood Steam. Oxygen must enter the blood and the blood, in turn, needs to deliver it to the cells and tissues of the body. this, then would raise tissue oxygen levels, kill bacteria, viruses and defective tissue cells, enable healthy cells to survive and multiply more rapidly - and ultimately create a stronger immune system.
the bio-oxidative therapies presented in this book stimulate the movement of oxygen atoms from the bloodstream to the cells to a greater degree than is usually reached by other means. with higher levels of oxygen in
*45 the tissues, bacteria and viruses are killed along with defective tissue cells; normal cells survive and multiply more rapidly and the result is a healthier body.
one of the most important discoveries supporting OT occurred in 1931, when Dr. Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for proving That Viruses Cannot Proliferate Or Exist In An Environment With High Levels Of Oxygen. that's because viruses are Anaerobic, which means that they occur and thrive in the absence of oxygen. Dr. Warburg has been quoted as saying, 'Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become Cancerous'. he further stated that the prime cause of cancer cells cannot survive in a high oxygen environment.
one out of every 3 adults in America has cancer, but most incidences are as yet undiagnosed and undetected.additionally, Every Human Being has cancer cells existing in the body which are just seeking a low- oxygen environment were they can multiply into the full-blown disease.
there have been countless studies proving conclusively that increased oxygenation, whether in the form of HP, ozone or hyperbaric oxygen brings about the destruction of viruses. Cancerous Tumors Shrink When Put Into Contact with Oxygen. the studies conducted by other researchers and doctors have proven that not only cancer cells but almost all Toxins, Bacteria, Viruses, Pathogens and Disease Microorganisms are Oxidized and killed in high Oxygen Environments.
*46 as a result, we now know that cancer and other disease-causing cells simply cannot survive and thrive in a body that is oxygen-rich...
Louis Pasteur, the notable 19th French chemist and microbiologist best known for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and prevention of disease, recanted his germ theory of disease at his death bed, stating, 'the microbe is nothing. the terrain is everything'. the terrain of which he spoke is not the immune system, but the oxygenated environment of the human body. ..(which) only occurs when the human body lacks oxygen, thereby allowing pathogenic microbes to breed.
...germs, bacteria, viruses and pathogens do not cause disease, but rather seek out environments where they can thrive best - and that is in oxygen-deprived bodies.
*47 ...the only reason why the medical industry and the pharmaceutical industry haven't embraced this powerful solution for preventing and curing disease is because there is no financial incentive to do so. both ozone and HP are non-patentable substances and are very inexpensive to manufacture and use. furthermore, as mentioned in the previous chapter, the livelihoods of doctors, hospitals and other medical establishment would be threatened if virtually all diseases were to be eradicated by the proper administration of ozone or HP.
Ozone and Hydrogen Peroxide
*49 ..today, it is possible to receive ozone therapy through blood infusions at select doctors' offices. while most traditional doctors have not yet begun offering this therapy, it is not difficult to find a list of enlightened medical practitioners, clinics and hospitals that offer ozone therapy. . just do a search on ..Internet...using 'ozone therapy', as well as your city or country as keywords. there is also a foundation called the International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation which can provide a list of physicians trained and experienced in the practice of bio-oxidative therapies. the contact info is as follows: International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation, P. O. Box 61767, Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas 75261.
blood infusion of ozone is a surprisingly simple procedure. it entails drawing a pint of blood from the patient,
*50 and introducing specific amounts o ozone into the blood through a wire cord carrying a 300 volt charge. as the ozone is absorbed by the blood, the extra oxygen atoms are released into the blood, thereby creating a flood of oxygen. the blood, thereby creating a flood of oxygen. the blood then turns a vivid read, which signifies healthy, oxygen-cleansed blood and consequently, disease micro-organism are destroyed. the oxygenated blood is thereafter infused back to the patient and as the oxygen-stengthened blood disperses, it confers some of its virucidal properties to the rest of the patient's blood, thereby destroying the diseased microorganisms in the entire body...
*51 over 100 years ago, ozone was first used to purify drinking water in Europe. its unique characteristics make it ideally suited for water purification and it assures you of the cleanest and safest drinking water because it eliminates 99.99% of bacteria and viruses in the water. the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) even states that ozone is a water treatment that protects people from E-Coli....
*52 drinking 6 to 8 glasses of ozonated water daily establishes a high level of oxygenation in the body, facilitates detoxification and accelerates the healing process. there are many inexpensive ozonators on the market that you can find by doing an Internet search with the key phrase 'water ozonator'....
Chapter 3
...*56 during the reign of Queen Victoria over 170 years ago, when India was still a British colony, the Indian people found that HP added in minute amounts to drinking water cured a variety of illnesses from the minor ones like colds and flu all the way to serious ones like cholera and malaria. because its use threatened the British monopoly drug sales, they hired a news reporter disguised as a doctor to Fabricate a story about a child who supposedly died of brain damage as a result of taking HP . coming from a 'doctor', the story was accepted as the truth, even if it never happened. the misinformation tactic worked and the Indian people abandoned the practice of taking HP in favor of buying British drugs.
during WWI, doctors used intravenous injections of HP to successfully treat pneumonia. in fact, it was a key treatment for people who became ill during the pneumonia epidemic that broke out shortly after the war.
in 1920, a British physician in India named T. H. Oliver was the first to use an intravenous infusion of HP to treat a group of 25 Indian patients who were critically ill with pneumonia. Dr. Oliver's HP treatment effectively cut the standard mortality rate for pneumonia from 80% to 48%. since them, HP therapy has been studied in major medical research centers throughout the world,
*57 ...another person who is also considered a pioneer in the use of HP therapy is Father Richard Willhelm. during the 1940s, he created Educational Concern for H P ( ECHO) to spread the word about the numerous benefits of HP therapy. he found HP especially helpful in the treatment of skin diseases, polio and mental illness brought on by bacterial infections and believed it would prove an integral treatment for many more ailments. he created his non-profit organization hoping to inform the world about proper dosing and method for using the treatment. however, prescription medications also became popular during the 1940s. therefore, much of the attention that should have been placed on developing new ways to administer HP became focused on the development and uses of prescription drugs instead.
in the 1950s, Dr. Reginald Holman conducted experiments involving the use of .45% HP concentrations added to the drinking water of rats that had cancerous tumors. the tumors completely disappeared within 15 to 60 days.
in the 1960s, European physicians began prescribing HP to their patients. before long, the use of HP became an accepted part of the medical mainstream in Germany and Russia, as well as Cuba.
*58 although the successful treatments were widely publicized,US based physician who tried to adopt the bio-oxidative therapies involving ozone and HP were often harassed by local medical societies and threatened with the revocation of their medical licenses. as a result, hundreds of American patients flocked to foreign physicians every year seeking bio-oxidative therapies - and sadly, an untold number of Americans who had neither heard of these therapies nor had the money to travel to foreign countries to seek treatment, had to suffer needlessly or die of an untold number of diseases.
today, despite decades of clinical success, bio-oxidative therapies are still considered 'experimental' and not approved by the FDA. over 6,100 articles in scientific literature attesting to the success of ozone and HP therapy are presently in circulation (with an additional 50- 100 scientific articles published each month about the chemical and biological effects of ozone and HP), but sill a large portion of the medical community continues to overlook or purposely ignore this incredibly simple and inexpensive treatment option that could potentially solve the health care crisis. to date although over 15,000 European doctors, naturopaths and homeopaths are routinely administering medical ozone and HP to millions of patients, there are fewer than 500 doctors in the US who are courageous enough to use these bio-oxidative therapies in their practice. one reason for this is because info about medical ozone and HP is deliberately excluded from the
*59 curriculum in medical schools. furthermore, medical boards do not look favorably upon licensed physicians who use bio-oxidative therapies in their medical practice and have been known to threaten doctors with a revocation of their license (or even jail time) if they administer HP or ozone...
*64 ...Dr. P. M. Van Wulfften Palthe reported that inhalation of oxygen overcomes the effects of alcohol intoxication. curiously enough, it was also observed hat when alcoholics start taking HP orally, which oxygenates the body, they lose the craving for alcohol....
Reversing Everyday Brain Damage
another potential benefit of using HP is the reversal of the typical 'slight brain damage' caused by gradual oxygen deprivation. if you live in a city where the air is oxygen deficient, or you have an oxygen-depleting lifestyle, chances are, your brain's function has been compromised to one extent or another. most people undergo gradual oxygen starvation without even knowing it.
Chronically unnoticed lack of oxygen causes many inexplicable illnesses such as depression, lack of energy,
*65 irritability, malaise, impaired judgment and a host of other health problems. HP administration restores an ample supply of oxygen to the brain, reverses the brain damage and boosts energy, improves memory, alertness, concentration and even IQ.
the health conditions effectively treated by the proper administration of HP range from serious, life-threatening diseases to minor ailments that are more bothersome than conditions that compromise health, such as acne warts and halitosis. people even find that if they start HP therapy after the onset of the flu, they feel significantly better the next day and are well by the third day. HP offers a myriad of benefits that can help you with everything from serious diseases to the common cold and that's why it has been referred to by many as a panacea. (def -
*66 What Doctors are Saying
while the medical community at large does not yet accept the validity of ozone and HP therapy (at least not openly), there is a growing number of physicians and researchers in the US who promote its use. many proclaim the benefits of HP therapy as nothing less than the greatest healing miracle of all time.
in a 4200 word article by Dr. David G. Williams one of the world's leading authorities on natural healing, he praised the health benefits of HP, stating, 'I'll admit I was skeptical when I first learned about using H2O2 orally or intravenously. this healthy does of skepticism, however, led to a great deal of investigation, clinical work and experimentation. and while i realize a large majority of readers will probably never be convinced that H2O2 is a safe, readily available and dirt cheap. and best of all, it works!
*67 Dr. William Campbell Douglass, a 4th generation physician and proponent of the therapeutic use of H2 O2, wrote that H'P is certainly a universal agent which can almost always be tried for an illness, often with great success.
in an article for a publication called Alternatives, Dr. Kurt Donsbach wrote: 'one ounce of 35% Hp (per gallon of water) in a vaporizer every night in an emphysemic's bedroom and they will breathe freer than they have breathed in years! I do this for my lung cancer patients.
in Mexico,health practitioners at the Gerson Institute and La Gloria Clinic enthusiastically recommend HP therapy to their patients because they tried it at their respective centers and found numerous benefits.
throughout the rest of the world, hundreds of doctors attest to the benefits of HP therapy. Dr. Charles H. Farr recognizes it as an effective way to rid patients of diseases once thought incurable.
one of the most notable physicians to recommend the use of HP therapy is the late Dr. Christiaan Barnard. in 1986, Dr. Barnard, who is most well-known for completing the first successful heart transplant surgery, began recommending HP therapy to his patients. he had been using it himself to treat arthritis and other ailments related to aging and was ridiculed so heavily by members of the medical community that he ceased claiming any affiliation with the hundreds of doctors who recommended the therapy. however, he did not retract the fact that he was using HP therapy himself. though oxygen therapy is still not considered legitimate by the medical community at large, numerous other health practitioners use it to cure virtually all diseases from cancer to vascular disease.
*71 CHAPTER 4
in the previous chapter, ozone therapy has been described as being powerful in curing even the deadliest diseases, particularly AIDS. it's worthwhile noting that most of the benefits attributed to the administration of hydrogen peroxide as well, since OZONE IS TRANSFORMED INTO HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN THE BODY. the mechanism by which hostile micro-organisms are eradicated by hydrogen peroxide is the same as with ozone blood infusion. like ozone, hydrogen peroxide (HP) kills viruses and other pathogens by oxidation as it spreads through the tissues of the human body. at the same time, the oxygen boost revitalizes normal cells.
HP is safe if used correctly and best of all, its health benefits are accompanied by practically
HOME USE OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
before you decide on how you plan to self-administer HP therapy, it is critical that you understand the different grades of HP available. the grades are as follows:
*72
3% Pharmaceutical Grade
6% beautician Grade
30% Reagent grade:
30-32% Electronic Grade
35% Technical Grade
35% Food Grade: this is the ONLY grade of HP recommended for internal use.
it's commonly used in the production of dairy products like milk and eggs. it is also sprayed onto the foil lining of products like juice and acts as an antiseptic. you can purchase this formula i pints, quarts, gallons and drums. contact your local alternative drugstore for more information on
*73 where to find 35% food grade HP. there are also several sources you can find on the Internet by typing the key phrase '35% Food Grade Hydrogen peroxide'. IMPORTANT NOTE: THE 35% STRENGTH NEEDS TO BE DILUTED BEFORE BEING TAKEN INTERNALLY. (See instructions below)
90%: this is used as a source of oxygen in rocket fuel.
INTERNAL USE OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
if you plan to ingest HP as part of your therapy, clearly, you will want to use only the 35% food grade formula. at this strength, however, the product must be handled with care.
it will burn your skin if you spill any and it is flammable.
should it come in direct contact with your skin, flush it out with water immediately. Under No Circumstances Should Youngest Undiluted Hydrogen Peroxide. even at slightly over 10% strength, HP cause neurological damage.
be careful to dilute HP properly using the suggested protocol in the table below.
many people find that the most convenient way to dispense HP is with a glass bottle via eyedropper cap. once you fill the glass bottle (label it '35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide' in order to prevent accidental undiluted use) store the remaining HP in the freezer, out of the reach of children. if you don't use all the HP that is contained in the

*75 bottle with eyedropper cap, you can leave it in the refrigerator until you administer your next dose.
the table on the previous page provides a suggested schedule for your HP therapy.
each dose takes less than 1 minute to administer.
***use only distilled water to dilute HP;
do not use water that has been chlorinated.
the drops should be diluted in 6-8 ounces of water.
when you have completed the 23-day regimen in the table,
gradually decrease the dosage by 1 drop a day
until you get the the Maintenance Dose of 3 drops
(diluted in 6-8 ozs of distilled water)
3 times a day.
this suggested protocol is based on years of experience and success stories from thousands of users.
if you have a serious condition, you may wish to try taking
25 drops 3 times daily for one to three weeks
during the beginning portion of the maintenance phase
before tapering down to 25 drops
2 times per day
for up to 6 months.
otherwise, you can reduce the maintenance schedule to between 5 and 15 drops
based on how you are feeling.
HP is not tasteless, so once you start adding more and more drops to your distilled water,
you may discover that it tastes like bleach.
*76 some people find it impossible to drink water containing 25 drops.
others find that chewing sugar-free gum (with no artificial flavors or sweeteners) after drinking the solution solves the problem.
if you find the taste unpleasant, try diluting the HP with 6-8 ounces of
milk, aloe vera or watermelon juice instead of water.
if you are still bothered by a bleachy aftertaste,
cut down on the number of drops you put into each glass and
increase the number of glasses you drink each day or
simply drink some water after you drink the oxygen water.
in addition to diluting HP with chlorine free (preferably distilled) water,
it is important that you Take It On An Empty Stomach.
the best times are at least one hour before mealtime
and /or at least 3 hours after mealtime.
HP will react with food's bacteria in your stomach and
the result is excess foaming, nausea and possibly vomiting.
if you become nauseated at a certain dosage level,
keep taking that dose for a few days until you feel comfortable.
although it is not common, you may experience symptoms including
nausea, fatigue, diarrhea and cold or flu-like symptoms
as your body attempts to expel large amounts of dead cells.
this phase is what is referred to as the healing crisis,
which is the body's reaction to the removal of disease-causing or toxic conditions.
it doesn't happen in the majority of cases, but some may experience it.
as well as a range of other minor symptoms.
do not stop your regimen if you experience these symptoms;
*77 you may be uncomfortable for a day or two,
but it means the therapy is working.
although uncommon, you may find that your skin may break out for a few days or longer
or you may even develop boils or other types of skin inflammations.
these symptoms mean that your body is working hard to get rid of toxins and
they will pass within a few days.
also, if you have certain viruses or bacteria in your stomach, like streptococcus,
you might feel nauseous for the first few days of therapy.
it is very important that you continue your HP therapy;
do not discontinue use if you experience bothersome symptoms.
keep in mind that your body is ridding itself of disease and toxins and
you will begin to feel much better within a few days.
if you want your DRINKING WATER TASTE LIKE FRESH SPRING WATER,
put 7 drops of 35% food-grade HP into a gallon of water and shake the bottle.
you can keep this mixture in the refrigerator and drink it as much as you would like.
INTRAVENOUS INJECTION OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Oral ingestion of diluted HP is not the only way H2 O2 can be administered for therapeutic purposes. it can also be administered by a trained physician via intravenous injection. much of the research and scientific literature extolling the benefits of HP was derived from studies involving intravenous injection. this form of bio-oxidative therapy has been used for the last several decades
*78 and was found to be effective in treating pneumonia as far back as post-world War I days.
intravenous injections of HP are regarded as being particularly convenient for health practitioners to recommend because they can be used in conjunction with almost any type of therapy used to treat diseases, although they do need to be administered separately from other treatments.
intravenous injections of HP work just like oral administration of H2O2 - that is, their mechanism of action is based on giving tissues a healthy boost of oxygen. with intravenous injections, however, the oxygen is delivered directly into the bloodstream and also causes the body to produce oxygen in response to the hydrogen peroxide. it is, therefore, a viable treatment option on its own.
intravenous injections of HP have proven particularly useful in treating emphysema. EMPH is most often caused by smoking and it attracts the alveoli, the small air sacs within the lungs. currently, there is no widely-recognized cure for the disease and patients have only been able to find some relief from their symptoms through conventional medical techniques. EMPH causes one's heart to work too hard to circulate blood and death often ensues because of eventual heart failure. although breathing difficulties of EMPH patients have been effectively relieved by running a vaporizer (containing one ounce of food-grade Hp in a gallon of water)throughout the night, eliminating all the other
*79 drastic effects of EMPH has been a challenging task. in this regard, intravenous injection of HP has become the choice therapy, yielding the most amazing results.
when injected, the HP goes to the diseased areas of the lungs and begins to bubble between the layer of mucus and the lining of the lungs. the patient coughs up the mucus as the doctor regulates the amount of HP that is administered intravenously. many patients have reported that intravenous injections have improved their breathing so much that they no longer need oxygen tanks and wheelchairs.
to find a physician trained to administer intravenous injections of HP, contact the International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation (IBOM), P. O. Box 61767, Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas 75261.
Making a 3% HP Solution
there are times when it would be convenient for you to keep a 3% strength food-grade HP on hand because at this strength, it has many uses that produce countless benefits (in addition to the benefits that are derived from the dosing regimen described earlier). this should not be confused with the 3% HP that you can find at your local drugstore because that pharmaceutical grade is for external use only and should not be ingested.
*80 in order to make a 3% solution that can be ingested, you must start with 35% food grade HP and dilute it according to the way it will be used. to start, pour one ounce of 35% food-grade HP into a pint jar, and add 11 ounces of distilled water. this will yield 12 ounces of 3% HP. make sure you label it'3% Food Grade HP' to distinguish it from the 35% strength.
you can use this diluted solution in a variety of ways, and you may find it convenient to store the unused portion in the refrigerator. if you wish to ingest HP, you will need to dilute the solution further. however, absorbing 3% HP through the mucous membranes, the lungs and the skin produces many remarkable health benefits. the list below, although far from being exhaustive, provides some of the external uses of 3% HP.
The Bums and Teeth
a 3% HP solution can be used at full strength as a mouthwash, or it can be mixed with baking soda for USE AS A TOOTHPASTE TO FIGHT CAVITIES AND GUM DISEASE, IN ADDITION TO WHITENING TEETH. in fact, the popular teeth whitening products on the market are effective because of their HP content. the advanced action employed by the expensive ampoule- based teeth whitening systems can be duplicated at home by dipping cotton swabs into the 3% HP solution and using them to
*81 gently target specific teeth. this safely whitens natural teeth optimally and safely lifts stains from porcelain crowns and veneers. you can do this twice a day, preferably after brushing your teeth. do not rinse the HP out after applying it with the cotton swabs and do not drink or eat for 20 minutes after application so as not to hinder the optimal contact time.
3 tablespoons of a 3% HP solution and a quart of chlorine-free (preferably distilled) water can be used as an enema or douche, which will ward off 'bad' bacteria. it will kill anaerobic bacteria in the rectum and colon and bacterial infections and yeast in the vagina. HP can also be used at 3% strength or diluted with warm water as a FOOT SOAK FOR ATHLETE'S FOOT AND DIABETES RELATED AILMENTS.
Absorbing HP Through the Skin
a particularly simple way to ABSORB HP THROUGH YOUR SKIN is to BATHE IN IT. try adding 1 to 8 pints of the 3% solution to a bathtub full of warm water. the water will cause your pores to open, allowing your body to absorb some of the HP. you may not wish to try this method close to bedtime, however, because the boost of oxygen may energize and keep you awake. some people have used HP baths to rid themselves of boils, fungus or other skin infections. (Other people have also used a pint of 35% food-grade HP in a
*82 tub of water, instead of 1-8 pints of the 3% solution and have reported a host of other benefits including PREMATURELY GRAY HAIR RETURNING TO ITS ORIGINAL COLOR.)
a foot bath using full strength 3% HP has been used as a n effective treatment for ATHLETE'S FOOT. DIABETES HAVE BEEN RELIEVED OF CIRCULATION PROBLEMS by soaking their feet for half an hour in a foot bath consisting of 1 pint of 3% HP and a gallon of warm water.
Inhalation Method
one popular and convenient method for ABSORBing 3% HP SOLUTION is THROUGH A NASAL SPRAY PUMP OR SPRAY BOTTLE. you can purchase a nasal spray bottle at a medical supply or beauty supply store. as an alternative you can buy a product contained in a nasal spray at our local drugstore, empty the bottle's contents, wash it thoroughly with soap and water and fill it with the the 3% HP solution. PUMP THE SPRAY BOTTLE/NASAL SPRAY PUMP INTO YOUR MOUTH 5 TO 10 TIMES WHILE INHALING THE MIST DEEPLY INTO YOUR LUNGS. repeat this TWICE IN THE MORNING AND TWICE AT NIGHT...
*83 if you have been FEELING SICK, ADMINISTER THE PROCEDURE EVERY 4 TO 6 HOURS. if you have a VIRUS, use the spray every 2 hours. usually, the virus will be gone within 36-48 hours, depending on its severity. if you have had a virus for a while, you may find that it takes a week or longer for the treatment to take effect.
ALTHOUGH THE AMOUNT OF HP administered VIA the SPRAY bottle/nasal spray pump method IS MINUTE, it is VERY EFFECTIVE IN ALLEVIATING NUMEROUS CONDITIONS. countless people have claimed that THIS METHOD HAS DRASTICALLY IMPROVED THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE BY GETTING RID OF AILMENTS RANGING FROM COLDS TO MELANOMA TO STIFF MUSCLES. one person reported having cured prostate cancer in a month and another reported that a happy side-effect of using HP nasal spray is improved self esteem. this is not hard to believe since a boost of oxygen often makes people feel energized. some even find that they must use it during the day because spraying close to bedtime makes them too away and alert to go to sleep.
AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO ADMINISTER TO THE LUNGS IS TO ADD IT TO A VAPORIZER OR HUMIDIFIER. many people find that adding 15 ounces of #% HP to one gallon of water in a vaporizer that is run all night, drastically improves their breathing and wards off colds and the flu. some people even note that they no longer snore.
*87
*90 DO I LACK OXYGEN?
in today's world, many people are oxygen-starved without realizing it. air filled with pollution and smog, aside from being oxygen-depleted, also inhibits our ability to take in sufficient amounts of oxygen. we breath slowly and shallowly when taking in pollute air and as a result, our bodies become accustomed to living with less oxygen. smog is full of carbon monoxide and other toxins and the body reacts by breathing more slowly and in a shallow fashion to take in less polluted air.
our atmosphere should ideally contain about 20% oxygen, but in some especially polluted areas, it is as low as 10%. as a result, it is virtually impossible for us to inhale the amount of oxygen we need to effectively fight off diseases. even as we continue to pollute our air, we are also cutting down trees locally and in the rain forests at alarming rates. trees breath in the carbon dioxide we breathe out, and they provide oxygen in return. fewer trees mean less oxygen for us to breathe.
tap water contains little oxygen because it travels though pipes, never being exposed to air, it is also treated with high levels of chlorine, which removes oxygen,. in addition, the way we cook and over-process food drastically reduces the oxygen content of our food. fast food and food that is manufacture and processed to have a long shelf-life are oxygen deficient. the over-prescription of antibiotics also has detrimental effects on a body's oxygen level because these drugs, wreak havoc on the oxygen-producing aerobic
*91 bacteria in the digestive tract. all of this, combined with the sedentary lives many of us lead, cause a lack of oxygen.
some researchers even believe that many people who are considered to be of average intelligence are actually functioning at much lower levels because of a lack of oxygen. without oxygen, a person will die within about 9 minutes. it stands to reason that a slight decrease in the amount of oxygen a person receives with have detrimental effects on the brain's function over time. those people who live in large cities with high pollution often feel depressed, tired and irritable and these symptoms could certain be due to continually breathing polluted air and smog. supplementing a healthy diet and exercise with HP therapy, will provide the brain and nervous system with a boost of oxygen that can help a person think more clearly and be more productive.
one of the most exciting prospects on the horizon is that HP therapy shows great promise as a way to prevent, treat and cure Alzheimer's Disease and dementia. in light of the fact that an estimated 4 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's Disease (approximately 360,000 develop it each year and over the next 50 years, the incidence of AD is expected to quadruple), the personal, economic and social ramifications of a HP cure cannot be over-estimated.
in addition to dementia, memory loss and Alzheimer's Disease, which are conditions suffered by a significant percentage of the aging population, many senior citizens are plagued by other bothersome realities of getting older as
*92 well. HP once again comes to their rescue. One patient, who is in his late 60s, found it nearly impossible to get out of bed in the mornings. his muscles and joints were so sore and stiff that he would have to roll out of bed and lie on the floor for a while before he could stand. a friend suggested that he try HP therapy by spraying the mist through a nasal spray bottle. he began using the spray a few times a day and after a couple of weeks he found himself able to practically leap out of bed. he was no longer plagued by the aches and pains often considered an inevitable part of aging and he soon found that he was less frequently visited y viruses and other ailments.
older people report that HP therapy seems to reverse the detrimental effects of aging and they often feel better than they have in years. simply supplying the body with a boost of oxygen will provide increased energy and alertness. more and more doctors believe it will prove the best therapy for all age-related diseases.
Oxygen and Food Consumption
overeating is a prevalent practice in modern living. the average person eats more food than his/her body can reasonably digest and the natural aerobic or 'good'bacteria in the body are affected. we also tend to eat too much over -processed fast food, which our blood cells must contend with. the main function of blood cells is to distribute oxygen to the body, but our eating habits often cause these
*93 cells to act mainly as the body's waste removal system. instead of supplying the body with oxygen, blood cells must get rid of food waste first. this waste ends up getting stored in various parts of the body.
as we continue to overeat, our bodies never have the foods we often eat are over-processed thereby containing low amounts of essential fatty acids which are critical to the body's ability to produce oxygen.

Samuel Johnson by John Wain
Johnson's Dictionary is, in the strictest sense, a one-man work.
he chose the words,
defined them,
fitted them out with derivations and
illustrated the correct use of each one with a nosegay of quotations. for the entire colossal undertaking, from first to last, he accepted sole responsibility. but it the work was ever to be completed there must be help in the purely mechanical business of transcription. while he was reading and thinking, others must be writing and pasting up. having decided that 6 was the most convenient number to employ (for he had to balance their wages, to be paid out of his own funds, against the probable speed of of their work), Johnson looked round for suitable amanuenses. with his knowledge of the world of letters, it was no trouble to make enquiries in the right places and come up with 6 men literate enough to do the work and poor enough to be attracted by the wages.
as it happens , 5 of the 6 were Scotsmen. probably this was no more than an accident. J did not particularly go out looking for Scotsmane; he just happened to find them. 18th-century London was in any case full of Scots. they had thrown in their lot with England in the Act of Union in 1707, a step taken only after prolonged heartsearchings and dubities not at all unlike the crosscurrents of feeling that accompanied Britain's entry into the European Economic Community in 1973. the Scots were afraid of losing their national identity; the English were afraid that their country would be invaded by a swarm of job-hungry Scots who would work any hours and accept any wages rather than go home. to some extent both sets of fears were justified by events. Scotland, especially after 1745, declined into a provincial version of England, while many an Englishman had to endure being pushed off the ladder of his career by the sharp elbows of a hungry Scot. both nations have by now accepted this situation as part of the normal order of things, but in the 18th century
136 the Scots were definitely unpopular in England and especially in London.
that J did not feel any hostility towards them is evidenced by his choosing to work, for years on end, with a 6 man team of whom 5 were Scots. indeed, Scotland was an enormous recurring fact in his consciousness. his closest disciple was to be a Scot; so was his most ferocious literary antagonist; his most memorable journey was to be made through Scotland. he enjoyed making anti-Scotch remarks, because he relished an argument and any Englishman who makes an anti-Scotch remark. is certain of a strong and immediate comeback. that is about as much as his celebrated 'prejudice' amounted to.
...he regarded them all as his dependents - Stewart who never lived to see the Dictionary completed, Shields who died later of consumption, the Englishman Peyton whom Johnson helped again and again and finally buried and and his wife too. as a team, they evidently fell far short of perfection...on one occasion, as Johnson later told Boswell, they or some of them, made a blunder that cost him a lot of money. the printer would only handle sheets that were written on one side only: too sleepy to realize this, they copied such a vast amount of material on to both sides that it cost J 20 pounds - that is, 4 or 500 pounds in modern money - to have the work redone.
but he was patient with them, as he always was with simple ordinary people, the common men and women who do the world of the world. to be among such people answered an emotional need in him. his combativeness, his determination not to be put down, came out when he was confronted by wealth, rank, brilliance, power of any kind; never among the poor and the humbly useful. as the years of toil brought them all closer together, they must have enjoyed many a pause for conversation. during on of these breaks J played a prank he recalled years later. among the Scots who had invaded England was James Thomson, one of the most successful poets of the day but not much to the taste of J, who disliked his blank verse and rather inflated language. Shiels particularly admired Thomson and this made him a target. 'I took down Thomson', J recalled...and read aloud a large portion of him and them asked -is not this find? Shiels having expressed the highest admiration, Well, sir (said I), I have omitted every other line'.
*137 with interludes like this, the work proceeded. J's procedure was simple, though massively arduous.
first of all he chose the words to be listed; sometimes from other dictionaries, sometimes from his reading or from conversational usage. he provided each word with a definition and an etymology, and this much of the material he seems to have written out in his own hand. I say 'seems' because the precise method followed by J is not clear to me. probably he did not follow one unvarying procedure during the whole 9 years. according to an ex-employee of Strahan the printer, writing in The Gentleman's Magazine in 1799, the copy was written on separate sheets of the size know as 'quarto post', each sheet divided into 2 columns. J wrote the words, with their derivations and etymologies, usually 2 or 3 to a column and the intervening spaces were filled up by slips pasted in by his assistants. these slips contained the illustrative quotations. presumably the man was remembering Johnson's process correctly; what puzzles one is how, in that case, the amanuenses came to copy large quantities of it on to both sides of the paper, when Johnson used only one side. perhaps he arrived at that method after expensive trial and error, as something foolproof.
at all events, the work of the amnuenses was to write out the quotations which J selected to illustrate the clearest and most correct use of each word. these quotations he provided from his vast reading, the bulk of which he did at an early stage in the work. broadly peaking his method was to read first and make word lists later. when he found a word used in the best way, he underlined it and wrote its initial letter in the margin, using a pencil; he also indicated, by vertical lines, the extent of the context to be quoted. the book was then handed to the nearest amanuensis, who copied out the relevant passage on to a slip, which was then arranged in correct alphabetical order and finally pasted up.
J chose the quotations from what he considered the classic period of English, going back no further than Sir Philip Sidney and coming forward, as a rule, no nearer than 1660. the provision of quotations, which enabled the reader to see each word on the hoof as well as in a bald definition, was j's original contribution to lexicography. it has since become standard, particularly of course in the Oxford Dictionary; the difference being that in the oxford Dictionary the examples are chosen with a view to charting the historical evolution of the word, whereas J was concerned with setting a standard of correctness. where the 20th century work follows each listed word through all its adventures, noting every significant use whether worthy of imitation or not, the 18th century work follows each listed word through all its adventures, noting every significant use whether worthy of imitation or not, the 18th century was more interested in establishing a standard, each reflects the characteristic preoccupation of its age.
sometimes one reads the mis-statement that j set out to fix the English language, to anchor it in a settled state. the best refutation of this is in J's own Preface, where he gives a succinct enumeration of the reasons why such an attempt is impossible, words, he remarks, are like the men who utter them:
when they are not gaining strength, they are generally losing it. though art may sometimes prolong their duration, it will rarely give them
*138 perpetuity and their changes will be almost always informing us that language is the work of man, a being from who permanence and stability cannot be expected.
on the other hand, he shared with his age a general willingness to slow down the rate of change as far as possible. the 18th century aim was a language which would not seem obsolete in 2 generations and this aim was brilliantly achieved. we nowadays can read 18th century English with complete and immediate comprehension.. in spite of the colossal changes of the last 200 years, we share with that epoch an English which, while it differs from ours in many points of idiom and usage, is recognizably the same language. but if we take a similar jump backwards from where they were standing, if we compare the English of the 18th century with that of the 16th, we shall find much greater differences. Elizabethan English grew so fast, putting on muscle so swiftly and in such unforeseeable places, that it was both exciting and unpredictable. the English of Shakespeare is like a young racehorses just arrived at its strength: very fast, very much a race-winner, but very hard to control. as J was himself to write, 'The style of Shakespeare was in itself perplexed, ungrammatical and obscure'. all 3 epithets are justified and all 3 apply to 16th century English generally. it is the same story with orthography.
