Flood Your Body With Oxygen

CRUSADOR Editor, Greg Ciola, Interviews Ed McCabe, One Of The World’s Foremost Authorities On The Benefits Of Oxygen Therapies

When it comes to the subject of oxygen therapies, no name stands out more than Ed McCabe. In 1988 McCabe published the book, "Oxygen Therapies: A New Way Of Approaching Disease," that went on to become an international best seller. Ed McCabe, a.k.a. “Mr. Oxygen”, is an investigative journalist, analyst, writer, lecturer, and consumer advocate in the innovative oxygen and health area.

Although oxygen therapies have been around for over 100 years, they are still fairly unknown to the general public, and mainstream pharmaceutical medicine has a vested interest in keeping this technology under wraps to protect its monopoly. Ed is the first and only person to create a mass public awareness of the existence and benefits of oxygen and ozone therapies. Thanks to his excellent work this life-changing therapy is being used around the world in thousands of clinics today to help patients recover from the ravages of disease. One milestone in his career was when McCabe, along with Senator Tom Harkin and former Congressman Berkley Bedell, organized a group of former AIDS patients and their doctors to meet with the top levels of the National Institutes of Health. The patients had become healthy by using oxygen therapy. McCabe’s international expertise, recognition, popularity, and experience have also enabled him to appear on major U.S. network television.  

McCabe holds a degree in Educational Media from the University of Massachusetts and his ongoing involvement with advanced healing modalities encompasses a span of 25 years. McCabe’s book was the first to detail every known therapy that used special forms of oxygen to eliminate disease and restore health by ridding the body of toxins and microbes, while simultaneously boosting the immune system. McCabe’s major sequel to his best selling book is titled, "Flood Your Body With Oxygen: Therapy For Our Polluted World."

According to McCabe, the most common cause of human death worldwide is anaerobic microbes. Disease can’t live in oxygen. Anaerobic microorganisms cannot live in oxygen. Waterborne anaerobes are the major cause of disease in the world today; yet putting special forms of oxygen in contaminated water can eliminate them easily and inexpensively. Here’s the big secret not taught in our medical schools; since our bodies are mostly water, and our cells love oxygen, we can safely and correctly put special forms of active oxygen into and onto our bodies to help keep us healthy. In this eye-opening, jam packed interview, McCabe offers readers more than one hundred years’ worth of European and American research, testing, and application of various forms of oxygen, and the practical methods used for removing major causes of human suffering and disease. 

Crusador:  Ed, it’s truly a pleasure to have the opportunity to speak with you. I first came across your work back in the early 1990s at a Preparedness Conference where I heard you speak. I attribute a lot of the work I’m doing today to the information I came across in your book and, like you, I’m excited and passionate about sharing this information with others. Why don’t you begin by explaining to our readers why you feel oxygen is such a vital component in health?

Well, breathing oxygen is the first thing you do when you come alive. As soon as you come out of your mother’s womb, you take a deep breath. If you were to hold your breath right now, you would very quickly have your body screaming for oxygen. Your body needs oxygen constantly. Your body’s ability to get oxygen, as it needs it, when it needs it, is the single most important thing in your physical life. Without it, you’re in trouble.  Now oxygen has more than one role; it’s used by the body for digestion and brain function, your immune system runs on oxygen, and your energy comes from oxygen. The body also uses oxygen as part of the immune system to get rid of bacteria, viruses, fungus, pathogens, and the toxins that build-up within the human organism. For example, all the bacteria, viruses, fungus, and pathogens that cause most of the major diseases we face are anaerobes. That means they simply cannot live in oxygen. So if all the diseases are caused by the things that can’t live in oxygen, and you were to increase the level of oxygen in your body, wouldn’t you think that would make it very hard for these microbes that cause all these diseases to exist? And indeed, that is the case and it’s been proven by studies. On my website www.oxygenhealth.com you’ll see over 500 medical references regarding doctors, clinicians, and scientists who are using various forms of oxygen; singlet active oxygen and ozone, for example, to purify and sterilize water supplies, air systems, and the human body. They have been doing so for about 100 years if you go back into the history of oxygen therapy. Thousands of physicians around the world are using these therapies.

The second thing the body does with oxygen is it detoxifies itself. Every human waste product or toxin that is in our bodies must be combined with oxygen before it can leave the body. There are four major chemical elements that combine with oxygen: sulfur, nitrogen, carbon, and hydrogen. For example, if the body wants to get rid of hydrogen, it combines it with oxygen to form water and we urinate it out.  If the body wants to get rid of sulfur, it combines it with oxygen and we defecate it out. If it wants to get rid of carbon monoxide, the poisonous gas that’s a waste product of respiration, it adds oxygen to make CO2 (carbon dioxide) and we breathe it out. All the waste products within the human body must have oxygen combined with them or they can’t leave. What we find in clinical practices from all the doctors I’ve interviewed is that when they flood people’s bodies with oxygen for a long enough period of time, the people start to detoxify. Their bodies throw off all the wastes that are accumulated for the whole time period of their existence when they didn’t have enough oxygen - and now they finally get enough oxygen because of supplementation or clinical therapies and their bodies flush it out. 

Crusador:  I think one of the biggest obstacles to overcome is trying to explain the beneficial uses of oxygen properly so the general public can understand it. There are many different forms of oxygen and it can get somewhat confusing explaining the differences between oxygen, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, etc. In your book you explain, in detail, all the various forms of oxygen, and you also explain how oxygen is created in our atmosphere and the differences between the various sources of oxygen. Could you cover this from a scientific standpoint so our readers understand this better?

Sure. As I said, the most important substance for our physical existence is oxygen to breathe. Without it, we’re not here anymore. Nature has to supply us with oxygen, and the way nature does that is through the new growth in the forest and the plankton in the ocean, these green plants that grow very rapidly. As part of their life cycle they create all kinds of oxygen and exhaust-gas it into the atmosphere. That oxygen then gets caught up in the rotation of the earth and the solar winds mix it all over the planet so we have this oxygen tank, or shield, that we live underneath and within. As the upper level of that oxygen is struck by the sun’s light (during daylight) that oxygen, which is O2, the simple oxygen that we breathe, is broken into two O1’s, or two singlet oxygen molecules. All these O1 singlet oxygen molecules are very reactive; they want to combine with something. As these O1’s are being created from the photochemical UV energy of the sun, they quickly and repeatedly come back together again so you have O1, O2, O3, O4, O5, O6, O7...etc. forming. Weather planes have found that these temporary long chain oxygen/ozone molecules go all the way up to O21 and beyond in the atmosphere at the level of the ozone layer, which is up in the stratosphere.

The real active ozone layer is transitory and only there while the sun is shining on that side of the earth, and some leftover ozone persists until morning when the cycle of life repeats. Although scientists call it a layer, they never really explain the whole truth that it is formed daily by nature and that it must be constantly re-created by her. The ozone does not ‘block’ UV. That’s the biggest lie. Oxygen protects us from UV rays by using up the Sun’s UV energy to constantly create ozone when the sun is shining.  Instead of mentioning that, the scientific community acts like the ozone layer is a fixed permanent gas layer that magically came from somewhere they do not dare mention, and then complain it has holes in it so they can promote an agenda. We’re told half-truths about the ozone so we’ll remain dumb-downed and controllable. The holes are really spots where our breathing oxygen is so heavily polluted that it could not turn into ozone anymore. “Holes in the ozone” are a combination of geomagnetic gravitic energy concentrating areas of atmosphere where increasing pollution has rendered our breathing oxygen so isotopic and inert that it can no longer be naturally split apart and turned into ozone by the sun’s UV light. Hence, a lack of natural unpolluted oxygen combined with so much pollution creates ozone ‘holes.’ But please don’t offend our polluting advertisers and bribe-payers by telling the people the truth about them.  

The long-chain oxygen/ozone molecules that are created by this splitting and recombining process are heavier than air. This causes the ozone to fall down through the oxygen atmosphere to the earth. If ozone contacts moisture on the way down, let’s say in rain clouds, some of the ozone will mix with the water in the rain clouds, and will give up one of its oxygen atoms so that water, H2O from rain, is then combined with active oxygen or singlet oxygen (O1) creating H2O plus O1, or H202, also known as hydrogen peroxide. The ozone that falls to the earth and the rainwater that falls to the earth with the H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) in it is the way that nature cleans this planet with oxygen. It’s the way nature recycles sterility, purity, and vitality into our lives, and we then get the benefits of drinking clean oxygenated water, eating clean oxygenated fruit, swimming in clean, oxygenated streams, waterfalls, oceans, ...etc.  So that’s the way it’s supposed to be and then man came along and polluted this clean pristine environment with greed-based technology. We let the power brokers pollute the planet by our inaction, and then we end up with a filthy environment, which then compromises our natural ability to absorb oxygen from our environment in our food, water, and air. 

Crusador:  What about the reports we hear about that the ozone levels in the atmosphere are high, especially in cities such as Los Angeles where there are problems with pollution and smog. You would think that having high levels of ozone in the atmosphere would be good based on what you’ve just said. What’s the difference between these situations and why is one bad and the other not?

If anyone has ever been into a major city like Mexico City, Los Angeles or New York on days when the air is so polluted that it’s a brown, green, or orange color with a cloudy tint to it, that’s smog. Ozone, on the other hand, is clear – it’s a clear gas. Ozone is nothing more than clear O2 oxygen plus clear O1 oxygen. If there’s so much dirt, filth, hydrocarbon emissions, and pollution that it darkens the air and makes it so you can’t see through the air, you’re not looking at ozone! You’re looking at tons and tons of hydrocarbon emissions. But the news media spins the truth and tells everyone that ozone is the problem and the cause of respiratory distress.

Well, if I’m looking at tons of hydrocarbons and standing in the middle of this soup of hydrocarbons and I’m having respiratory problems, I think the tons of hydrocarbons pumped out by the environment-destroying greedy industrialists are the real reason for my respiratory distress.  But they don’t point to that in the media because they don’t want to offend their advertisers. So instead they blame ozone. There’s this saying that ozone up high is good and ozone down below is bad, and they say things on Earth Day like “Ozone is so horrible! How do we get rid of the pollution?” It’s all a lie! It’s all a bald-faced lie that’s been spun for so long by bad science and P.R. firms protecting industries that we all think it’s true now.  It’s not true. Ozone is found in pollution because nature is trying to oxidize the pollution to clean up our air. The more pollution, the more ozone drawn to it, and they blame the ozone! Breathing pure, unpolluted ozone at proper safe levels for your current level of toxicity is a wonderful way to allow your body to give itself health! 

Crusador: These are some of the big hurdles we have to get over because people are very confused, especially those who hear about ozone therapy for the first time. Unfortunately, we’re told by scientists and the media, “Ozone is bad for you; the ozone levels in the atmosphere are high,” so someone might not understand why they would want to put ozone in their body to treat disease. It’s a big challenge trying to wake people up.

Okay, but what they’re not considering is the truth. The truth of the matter is that if you have a room filled with cigarette smoke, you can put an ozone generator in that room and immediately get rid of all the smoke in a couple of minutes.  I inherited a chair from my father who was a smoker. It stunk so bad we couldn’t have it in the house. I put it in a big plastic bag and put an ozone generator in the bag and ran it for three days. When I took the bag off there was no smell at all from that chair anymore. In my new book I give the example of a fire that occurred in an off-Broadway production theater. People I knew went in there with their ozone machines and cleaned it all out the day before opening day. This was after four other companies had tried, unsuccessfully, to get rid of the smell of the smoke. There are meat markets, fish markets, and morgues that use ozone air purification to get rid of all the pollution, odors, the formaldehyde, the hydrocarbons, …etc. I, along with hundreds of thousands of other people, live in a house filled with purposely-high levels of ozone, especially during the winter when things are all closed up, and it doesn’t bother me a bit. In fact, I like it and it gives us energy. And this ozone is at thousands and thousands of times above the EPA level allowed for ozone concentration in the air. So the truth is not always out there, but the truth is always available if you look hard enough - and that’s why I’m pleased to contribute whatever I can to the CRUSADOR magazine.

Crusador:  In your book you refer to some of the studies that were done that show the oxygen in our atmosphere today to be a lot lower than what it used to be. Apparently there are amber remains that were tested and show that thousands of years ago the oxygen content of the air was much higher. What can you tell us about this, Ed? Why are our oxygen levels so much lower today?

The study you’re referring to is from Science, Vol. 239.  The preliminary results appear to have changed from greater than 30% oxygen during one part of the late cretaceous era to 21% during the present day samples. How did the oxygen level change from over 30% to 21% and under?  Some studies estimate that ancient oxygen levels were 38-50%. Now there’s controversy about whether or not these people were accurate, but I think that it’s true. The reason I think it’s true is because we used to have a rainforest ecosystem that created a mantle of moisture surrounding the planet. The great flood of Noah was when that mantle of water fell to earth and flooded the valleys. Everyone moved up higher on the landscape and along the way the trees – lush and green like the plankton in the ocean and the new growth in the rain forests today - could no longer support that level of oxygen production. So, over time the oxygen level dipped and today they tell us we have 21%, but it depends on the level of pollution around where you live as to how much fresh unbound-in-pollution oxygen you are actually getting into your body. If you stand behind a diesel bus down at the bus terminal I’ll bet you’re not getting a 21% oxygen level in your lungs. The problem with that is we’re designed to run at a higher level of oxygen, probably at a level of around 38-50% oxygen, which is what our ancestors were living in.

If you look for examples in the Bible, it shows that people were living over 900 years, so how did they live that long? Well, perhaps there was a lot more oxygen in the air back then – I’m not sure that was the only reason, but I’ll throw that out as a factoid for you to look at. The point is when we return the body back to the level as if we had 38-50% oxygen in the air, in other words, when we supplement the oxygen in the body, we raise the oxygen level of the fluids, the lymph, the bloodstream, and the cells and cell fluids – the body immediately starts throwing out its waste. I’ve seen this time and time again over the past 16 years as I’ve watched people apply these oxygen therapies and supplements to their body and go through a detoxification period where their body throws everything out - and then starts to rebuild itself once it’s clean.

Now, everyone’s body is capable of doing this and wants to do this. The only reason your body can’t do this is because you don’t have a high level of oxygen circulating in your blood, lymph fluid, or cells. It’s my belief that we used to have a dual-purpose oxygen respiration system that was largely designed to absorb oxygen through the pores of our skin and the rest through breathing. Of course, that would take a high level of oxygen under a lot of pressure, like living at the bottom of a valley before the Great Flood with a large column of air above you that is rich in oxygen. These are just my ideas and my theories but I believe there’s evidence to support them.

After the flood, as our ancestors moved to higher ground, the atmospheric pressure above us changed and less oxygen was absorbed through the skin. Less pressure means less oxygen and because of this, our bodies have had to switch over to breathing through the lungs as the primary source of oxygen intake. I believe this is why we see so much success with hyperbaric oxygen chambers. These pressurized chambers allow high amounts of oxygen to be absorbed through the skin and, while you’re in the chamber, put your body back into a state where it should have been originally before the Great Flood. So we now have this problem where we’re living today at less than half of the oxygen level at which we were designed to run.  If you take any chemical reaction – combustion, fire, whatever, and give it half the oxygen it needs, it’s not going to work as efficiently, or burn as brightly, or work as well and create as much energy as if you had given it all the oxygen it was designed to run on.

That’s what my teaching is all about. All I ever talk about is to put back the missing oxygen. You don’t have to go nuts with this stuff, just put back what’s missing. Once you put back what’s missing, our DNA, God’s vehicle on earth, is programmed to survive perfectly well. The only reason we’re not is that either our free will is getting in the way, we’re thinking things we’re not supposed to be thinking, doing things we’re not supposed to be doing, or we’re missing the vital, basic nutrients that God has supplied us through nature, and somehow we’ve shut them out of our lives or denied them to ourselves. I think that oxygen is the main thing that is missing from our lives, and that’s why I teach about it. 

Crusador:  You wrote a story for our magazine a couple of years ago called “Warburg’s Prime Cause of Cancer Simplified,” and it was about respiration at the cellular level, and how the lack of it was one of the leading causes of cancer and disease.  You just stated that we couldn’t prove conclusively that lower oxygen levels in the atmosphere have cut man’s life cycle, but certainly we’re looking at a disease epidemic that has taken off in the last 50-100 years simultaneously with the industrial revolution and all its pollution. I know health problems have been with us for a long time, but it seems today that everybody is getting sick, more than ever before.  Can you discuss some of Warburg’s research further for our readers?

Sure. What we’re talking about here is that the incidence of disease has skyrocketed, even beyond what it used to be since the advent of the industrial age and the pollution that started along with it. It’s actually skyrocketed further as the cumulative effects of this pollution build up generation after generation. Each generation, each body, is born dirtier and filthier at a cellular fluid level than the preceding generation. And so more and more systems seem to break down more and more quickly in the human body. There are a lot of pesticides, for example, that are so small they can’t be detected and yet they’re everywhere in the environment, they’re all over our food chain, and they’re getting in everyone’s bodies.

I was just reading a report yesterday that young girls are starting to have breast development at age five in some countries like Puerto Rico; young girls in this country are starting to mature at seven or eight – it’s the same thing. This is a huge shift in the natural order of things and yet scientists, as apologists paid by P.R. firms in New York are telling us, “Oh, that’s just normal.” It’s not normal, and it’s never been normal, and it’s never been like that before. The young girls and boys are losing their childhood. The young boys mature quicker as well and they start to become aggressive. This all has to do with our food, air, and water being contaminated with all these chemicals that are disrupting the natural order of things.

So, you get into a situation where the lower the oxygen is, the higher the pollution is. Remember, I said the only way the body can remove the waste products and toxins is to first combine them with oxygen.  Well, if you’re living at half the oxygen level at which you were designed run, let’s be generous and say 21%, compared to the 38-50% as some scientists have postulated, then you’re only going to remove half as much of the waste products. You’re only going to be able to oxidize half as many of the toxins. Chemicals, colorings, flavorings, additives, preservatives, and other strange compounds that are not found in nature accumulate and start combining with the chemicals in your body. More and more systems within you - your organs, digestion, thinking, elimination, and reproduction - break down faster and faster at an earlier age. Once they start to break down and the hormones get out of balance and the immune system stops working – in comes disease.  So you see the cancer rates skyrocketing compared with what they used to be. You see the same thing with many other diseases – heart disease, arthritis, etc. – these problems are just climbing at an astronomical rate compared to the way they used to be in our society. This is a major problem directly from rising pollution and declining amounts of fresh clean oxygen.

A lot of this is tied to the fact that they’ve cut down about half of the rain forest now. I saw in Science News, July 14th, 2001, Vol. 160 No. 2, page 24, that scientists were saying that within ONLY 21 years we’re going to have only half the oxygen we have now if deforestation continues at the rate it’s going. But no one’s doing anything about it! So someone wrote an article in the science paper about it, but who’s doing anything about it? Who’s doing something to stop the greedy profiteers from killing our species and paying P.R. firms to spin it so that it looks like it’s not really a problem? Yet the scientists say, “Excuse me, you’re not going to have the oxygen your children, the next generation, need to live, or that this generation needs in order to live without disease unless we do something about this; and here are the facts.” Entire ecosystems are being disrupted. There are coral reefs that aren’t growing anymore, the fish can’t feed on them, the bigger fish can’t feed on the little fish, the mammals can’t feed on the bigger fish, and on and on it goes all through the food chain to us. We’re destroying ourselves with pollution and greed. We must have a change of consciousness and we must have strong leaders come forward who are not afraid to put corporations back in their place and save the planet, and us along with it. 

Crusador:  Do you believe that this is ever going to happen or do you think we’re going to keep on going until we run into some sort of disaster?

My personal feeling is that it could go either way, but there’s a stronger and stronger possibility that something will happen. Now I hesitate to say something “good” will happen because if I say that, people won’t do anything. It’s the old “Well, if you scare them enough, maybe they’ll be motivated.” But if you scare people, you add to the fear consciousness, which is what’s wrong with the planet in the first place, so I’m just pointing out that it can go either way. I do see hope for us, I do see the consciousness changing. As rapidly as things are deteriorating, I watch what’s being said and how people react to things, and I seem to notice the consciousness of people that I work with and talk to shift. I’m 55 years old, I was born in 1949, and the consciousness now compared to the crew cut, industrial corporate complex consciousness I grew up with in the early 50’s is just night and day. But we still have a way to go and I hope we get there.

Crusador:  I do too. Another area that I think needs to be explained is antioxidants.  There’s a huge misconception about antioxidants. “Anti” implies that antioxidants are designed to stop oxygen, yet it’s oxygen that we need for survival. We’re told we need high amounts of antioxidants in our body to combat free radicals and fight disease, but it appears to be a contradiction. Can you explain this whole process so people have a better understanding of this?

I believe the source of this whole controversy goes right back to the notion of free radicals. This free radical “theory” has been promulgated over and over by PhD’s, paid by the drug and vitamin companies, who tell us that free radicals are going to kill us. Then you’ll be afraid enough to buy antioxidants sold by the chemical/ pharmaceutical/ nutritional complex – big business that has its fingers in these pies. You see these people influencing the press, even the alternative press, telling us that free radicals are these horrible, damaging things and that oxygen is a horrible free radical that’s going to kill you - well, these are all lies and spins.

Professor B. Halliwell from the King’s College in London said that there is no such thing as free radical damage from singlet oxygen; he was specifically talking about ozone at the time:

“Singlet O1 is an especially reactive form of oxygen capable of rapidly oxidizing many molecules, including membrane lipids. Its formation in O2 generating systems has often been proposed, but clear cut evidence for a damaging role of singlet O1 in such systems has NOT been obtained.” (My emphasis) B. Halliwell, Department of Biochemistry, University of London King’s College, London, U.K.—Oxygen Radicals: A Commonsense Look At Their Nature And Medical Importance, Medical Biology 62: 72, 1984.

 That’s the position I hold as well. If God gives you oxygen to breathe– and you get enough of it in your body and disease disappears, then I look at these “harmful oxygen” theories as unsound.  I’ve seen people cured of cancer, AIDS, arthritis, MS, heart disease; almost every disease you can think of. I’ve either interviewed them or their doctors telling me that, yes, they no longer have these diseases because they did an oxygen therapy of some kind, or supplementation or course of treatment. I see that in the plus column. Then I look at these fools who sound wise but don’t really see the truth mouthing off theories about how oxygen is going to kill us. Obviously they are blind or are on the take.

So on one side I have 16 years observing people getting well from every disease you can think of and on the other side I read papers written by pseudo-intellectuals paid by companies selling antioxidants telling you that you must buy antioxidants because oxygen causes free radical damage that’s going to kill you. In real life I see people get well, go back to work, get rid of diseases, throw down their crutches, ...etc. and I look at the two and say: “Well, which is correct?” To me it’s obvious; life is showing me the results of proper oxygenation, with all the healing and cures that take place. On the other hand, I see these theories trying to scare you into buying something promoted in an ad. Antioxidants are natural things your body needs so that it can properly utilize the oxygen. The name “anti” implies, “let’s stop oxygen” – that’s incorrect. The word Antioxidant is a misnomer. Antioxidants should actually be termed “Oxygen Modulators.”  That’s what they really do. Vitamins A, C, D, and E in the dark green leafy and yellow vegetables, etc., regulate oxygen uptake, respiration, and use of oxygen within the body.  They’re necessary for life. I love them, in the natural form they’re fantastic, and there are all kinds of new ones coming out – tree bark, pycnogenol, etc. – they’re wonderful things.  What’s wrong, again, is the P.R. spin that’s put on them by big money firms telling you to believe a certain way, which is the opposite of the way it really is in nature.

Crusador: This is certainly one of the biggest obstacles when trying to educate someone about oxygen. I always hear the same response: “Why would I want to put oxygen in my body? It’s a free radical.  Doesn’t it damage your cells? It’s terrible, it’s going to age you and make you sick.”

Hats off to the P.R. agencies on this one. That was a wonderful P.R. coup they pulled by using that moniker, labeling God’s natural gift of healing, energetic oxygen to humanity as a poison by using that one word “antioxidant.”  It was very smart of them, very effective, and as you just said in your complaint – it’s effective, but it’s not the truth.

Crusador:  Is there such a thing as good free radicals and bad free radicals, and what’s the difference?

I knew a fellow who was a manufacturer of antioxidants, specifically the sprout-based, enzyme antioxidants that are compressed sprouts that people take to relieve a lot of problems.  He called me up one day and said: “Oh no, free radicals…Oh no, gonna die…Oxygen’s a horrible killer, it’s gonna make you rust, blah blah blah.” About five years later he called me back and said, “You know, I was wrong and you were right. My science has now proven to me that harmful free radicals are coming from the pollution in the body, not the oxygen.” All the toxins and pollution that the body can’t handle because they are unnatural are causing the formation of harmful free radicals, which are any compounds with unpaired electrons in their outer orbits. These partially digested, partially created compounds are “spinning wildly out of control” and attaching to and attacking DNA and other molecules in the body. That is absolutely correct! Pollution and toxins cause all the problems. Nature, however, has a solution: oxygen. The solution is the beneficial free radical of active or singlet oxygen. Again, a free radical not being good or bad, but simply being a compound with unpaired electrons in its outer orbit. In the case of oxygen, oxygen is the negatively charged free radical that attacks all the positively charged pollution-created free radicals.  So oxygen neutralizes harmful free radicals by combining with them since they’re both looking for something to combine with. The oxygen combines with the harmful, pollution-created free radicals to neutralize them, oxidize them, and then they’re flushed from the body as harmless compounds. That’s how oxygen detoxifies the human organism. 

Crusador:  Oxygen and ozone treatments began in the early 1900s in Germany when people started discovering it could be used in the treatment of disease.  Can you tell us more about where and how these treatments originated?

I discuss the whole lineage and chronology of oxygen treatments in my book, "Flood Your Body With Oxygen: Therapy For Our Polluted World."  It actually originated in many places around the world simultaneously because scientists at that time were a very small group; they would talk about things and knew what one another was doing. The history of oxygen is spread out over many different countries in the 1800s. Peroxide therapy was used in the 1800s and by the late 1800s ozone was commonly used by Nikola Tesla, probably the greatest scientific mind in world history. I have found references to ozone and hydrogen peroxide products in the medical literature of the 1800s, and the growth in knowledge of these products increased into the 1900s. Somewhere in there around 1903 Tesla had the Tesla Ozone Company. During that time Charles Marchand, a chemist in New York, was selling Hydrozone and Glycozone (mixtures of oxygen and hydrogen peroxide) to the general public as home therapies. At the turn of the century, the American Medical Association reported on the work of British physicians who were treating the Indian Gurkhas who had the plague. They were injecting the ill with peroxide that, after sweating and shaking profusely, would get up and go home instead of die. By injecting the peroxide into their bloodstream, they killed all the disease-causing bacteria and viruses, though at the time they hadn’t perfected the rate of delivery. Today we know not to do that, it’s far better to inject pure medical ozone.

That gets us into the hydrogen peroxide question. As I told you, rainwater has some peroxide in it, and so fruits and vegetables grow more quickly when it rains because a lot of the oxygen comes down with it. When the H2O2 comes into our body, it reacts with four enzymes that break it down and release the oxygen from the water so you have H2O (water) plus O1. The O1, of coarse, is that beneficial free radical singlet oxygen that goes out and detoxifies the body by killing bacteria, viruses, fungus, and pathogens. Our immune systems make hydrogen peroxide in the area known as our peroxisomes. Our immune system’s lymphocytes and neutrophils combine to make ozone in the human body. Nature is trying to solve the problem of pollution by bringing ozone into the area to clean it up, putting ozone and peroxide in the water to try to clean it up, and putting oxygen in our food, air, and water to try to clean us up. The problem is we’re increasing the pollution at a level faster than nature can detoxify. 

Crusador: When you talk about hydrogen peroxide, I know there are a lot of people out there who market it as an effective way to oxygenate the body. They sell this 35% hydrogen peroxide that you can add to your water to drink.  Do you think this is an effective way to oxygenate the body?

It’s effective, but I would exercise caution doing that sort of thing. I’ve done it myself and I ended up having horrible heartburn for 3 or 4 years after taking high levels of hydrogen peroxide on a daily basis for many months. There are better ways to oxygenate your body now. If you’re in a third world slum and you’re dying of AIDS - God bless you - probably the only thing you can afford is hydrogen peroxide. Will that put oxygen in your body? Absolutely. Do I have reports of people in slums around the world using that and getting better? Absolutely. So there’s benefit to it. However, those of us who can use more modern formulations can take a safer approach.

For example, there’s a daily supplement out there called OxyLift, which is a catalytic oxygen generator that very slowly delivers oxygen all day long. The difference between that and hydrogen peroxide is that hydrogen peroxide has hydrogen in it. Hydrogen can have a burning or solidifying effect, while oxygen is loosening and cooling. Whenever you have a compound with hydrogen in it, you’ll find that it can irritate and burn. For example, if you have a doctor injecting too high of a concentration of hydrogen into your bloodstream, you’ll find it can painfully burn your veins and make them brittle, like old spaghetti. If you take H2O2 orally, it can upset your stomach. It’s far, far better to use ozone, for example, drink ozonated water or be injected with ozone by a physician who’s been trained in the oxidative modalities. These things are far safer because they don’t have the hydrogen involved. A lot of the home supplements can’t hurt you like high doses of peroxide can. Peroxide is wonderful at low levels. Nature designed it to be in your body. If you had the oxygen you’re supposed to have in your body, instead of half of the oxygen that you do have, your body would make enough hydrogen peroxide on its own at the proper level, place, and time, probably to heal itself of just about everything. I advocate the more modern methods of using ozone, OxyLift, and other oxygen supplements – they are far safer. We have a saying in oxygen therapy “A little oxygen does what a lot does, it just takes longer.” So why take the chance of causing harm by rushing the process with something as strong and as caustic as hydrogen peroxide? Some people do sell 8% peroxide, and that’s far safer to have around for cleaning things than having the stuff from the drug store that has the heavy metals and the phenols in it as stabilizers.

We surveyed one hundred people who used the product OxyLift last year and what we heard in almost every case from the people who took it consistently was that they had:

1) more energy
2) better elimination
3) better digestion

This is what constant proper supplementation with oxygen can do for someone. The body is simply taking those missing nutrients and healing itself. The product itself doesn’t actually “do” anything; what it does is give the body all the missing ingredients it needs to repair itself. The key to healing is returning our body to its natural state. The further away you are from nature, the sicker you get. The closer you are to nature, the better you’re going to be on this planet because you are nature, you’re a part of nature, and you need nature in order to exist. Out of these one hundred people we surveyed we found that some people said, “I took it, I tried it and nothing happened. I didn’t feel anything.” But when the interviewer asked them how often they took it, they would say, “Oh, well, every now and then I took a drop or two - every couple of days.” The people who didn’t take it were the ones telling us it didn’t work.  Well, it’s obvious it didn’t work because they never used it consistently. I’m not saying that OxyLift is the cure to everything, not at all. What I’m saying is that’s typical for every supplement. If you do not take them on a daily basis over many months you will never know what the supplement can do for you. Nature has lots of time to do things, and will do them slowly and gently – the good energy will build up, proper health will build up, the vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and enzymes will build up as the body repairs and corrects its system. That’s when you get your results.

Crusador:  You mention that OxyLift supplies your body with some things that are missing.  Can you explain a little bit more about what’s in the product?

I went around the world and asked everyone. “What works?” and came up with my copy written Seven Crown Jewels of Health. There’s oxygen, that’s the main thing I talk about all the time. The second thing is water, or hydration; you must have the water to carry the oxygen through the body and to carry waste products out of the body. Then there are minerals. The body needs a supplement of minerals because our food doesn’t have them anymore; it’s grown on played-out soils. The body also needs enzymes because they are destroyed when our food is cooked, processed, and irradiated.

The latest news is that the food industry is complaining that the word “irradiated” will scare the public so now they want to call it “electronic pasteurization!” Enzymes are destroyed by irradiation, but they never mention enzymes. Nature has packaged foods like an apple with all the enzymes necessary to digest that apple. God has given us this bountiful gift of nature and if we move away from her to things like “electronic pasteurization,” or blasting your food with 150 times what you’d get in a chest X-ray, you’re going to kill enzymes and not be able to digest your food. So, we’re going to have all this pretty, profitable food that won’t spoil because it has no enzymes in it, but when you eat it, it will be devoid of any nutritive value.

Another Crown Jewel of health is colon cleansing. You have to have a clean colon because once you have all these waste products built up in your body your colon must be open to eliminate them. Next would be light, sound, and other energy therapies. There’s a lot of new research going on with that, for example, the low-level lasers. The simple form of that is sunlight; you go out, get some sun, and it’s good for your health (as long as you don’t get too much).

The last Crown Jewel is an emotional, mental, and spiritual balance. I’m sure your readers know the benefits and necessity of a spiritual balance. It’s predicated upon you having an emotional and mental balance, and that comes from the proper use of your free will. If you have any guilt about something you’ve done, if you live in fear – address those issues, get them cleaned up, and that will allow you to have a better immune system. If you’re depressed your brain will not send the proper electrical energy down your spine out into your nerves, into your mitochondria to burn up the waste products and give you energy.  You have to be happy, it’s electrical.

So the Seven Crown Jewels of Health are: Oxygen, Minerals, Water, Enzymes, Clean Colon, Light (and other energies), and Emotional/Mental/Spiritual balance. I interviewed doctors around the world who told me that any one of these things was giving them great results in their clinics and I noticed the patterns, which is how I came up with these Seven Crown Jewels. Imagine if your readers were to combine all seven. What would happen to your body if you did all seven of these things correctly, since these have the highest percentage and probability of creating health in your body, according to historical and scientific evidence? It’s mind-boggling how simple this is once you understand how it works. What I like about OxyLift is that it has oxygen in it, as well as ionic minerals in a base of structured water. It has a blend of enzymes. The fruit acid base that it’s in helps, along with the oxygen, to clean the colon, and it’s imprinted with subtle energy frequencies of better respiration. So you can see it has six of the Seven Crown Jewels of health, which is why I like this product. I’ll tell you straight out, I consult with the company, and I help them, but I do it because I like the product.

Crusador:  You mentioned minerals and I know that’s a component with OxyLift. In your book you said that potassium is one of the major missing minerals in the body. Can you explain that a little bit more? 

In nature you have a certain ratio of sodium and potassium, where there is more potassium than sodium. In our processed food that’s reversed, you have more sodium than potassium. In Finland where they reversed the ratio (not completely, but closer to nature), they increased the health of the whole country almost immediately based on the chemical composition of the table salt being used (see pages 77-80 of my book). Again it points to what I’ve been saying over and over; the further you get from nature, the less health you’re going to have, the more sickness you’ll see, the more tiredness, confusion, and the more malleable you’ll be to being controlled through fear propaganda in the media. The closer you are to nature and the more oxygenated you are increases your consciousness and health. This is based on the thousands and thousands of interviews I’ve done in the past 16 years, and as a reporter I’m reporting this to you. This is what nature wants us to be doing, obviously, because those who do are getting healthy.

Crusador:  You designated a chapter of your book to essential fatty acids. You said, “Without the right fats and oils in our diets, oxygen cannot work its way into the cell.” Explain that process a little bit more. 

They found that certain oils; cold-processed oils sold in dark bottles, specifically things like safflower, sunflower, and flax oil, have higher percentages of things that are good for us. The natural fats are very good for you if they’re processed correctly. What is so important about fats and oils in the human body, and what does that have to do with oxygen? Well, it’s the fats and oils from nature, along with water, that transport the oxygen electrons into the cells. Having the correct fats and oils in the body is necessary for proper electron transfer, or the functioning of all cells at the atomic level within the human body. Dr. Johanna Budwig from Germany did a lot of microscope studies over many years showing that when people have the wrong fats and oils (in other words, the cheap, commercialized, rancid ones that are heat processed and sold in clear bottles) they build up as a green scum at the cellular level that can be seen with a microscope. This is especially evident in people with cancer. Dr. Budwig gave them oxygen supplements and other therapies and noticed that when she fed them proper, natural oils that still had their nutritive value, these oils would be swapped with the bad oils. She watched this at the microscopic level. The body would replace the bad oils with the good ones and, at the same time, she noticed the patients’ health improved dramatically. What we’re saying is that oils and fats need to be in a natural state so that the electron transfers from the oxygen into the cells can happen the way they’re supposed to. 

Crusador:  Trans-fats are a huge problem too, aren’t they? They coat the cells and harden the arteries and shut down oxygenation, don’t they?

Anything that coats the cell, hardens the arteries, and shuts down oxygen is going to be horrible for the human body. Have you ever been in a school where someone has thrown a pat of margarine on the ceiling and it stuck there? I’ve seen that and wondered why the flies never went near that stuff.  Isn’t that odd? Here’s this food on the ceiling that nobody can get to and the insects wont go near it, yet that’s what’s on most Americans’ tables when they sit down to eat. That margarine is hydrogenated oil and it’s horrible for the human body. They take this oil, which is already rancid with no nutritive value, and they bubble super steam heated hydrogen through it under pressure. This hydrogenated steam solidifies this rancid oil so it becomes hard, and then they sell it to you and call it “margarine.” It’s not a food. And as I’ve always said, if it’s not a food for a normal healthy human cell, for the normal fluids in your body, then it’s a toxin. They’ve come up with all these fancy names for these unnatural things – it’s like the flavor of the week. You can bet that there’s a P.R. firm somewhere spinning it so that trans-fats get a lot of press, and then someone’s going to magically come out with the “solution” for it, the latest pill, spray, or whatever that will be the answer to this horrible trans-fat problem. It’s all the same problem and it’s being marketed every season in a new light so you’ll buy something else.

What you really need to do is get back to nature; eat as much live energetic food as you possibly can and stay away from dead, processed, inorganic food. Eat mineral-rich foods, drink oxygenated water. You can have oxygenated water coolers and ozone generators in your home. It’s a wonderful thing once you understand the way it works because you can look at your life and say, “Hmmm – all this stuff that they’re telling me is wonderful, and it’s expensive and complication causing – maybe I don’t need all that. Maybe nature itself had the answer in the first place and my attention has been pulled away from it and sent down some rosy-garden path.” You don’t have to understand the chemistry; you just have to understand “Does what’s in front of me have the life force in it?”  Whatever has the most life force, whatever’s the freshest, cleanest, most oxygenated thing grown on the most mineralized soil is the best thing for you.  Let’s get lots of oxygen and water in our bodies and then the body will take care of itself.

Crusador:  When you mention some of these devices you can put in your home do you recommend any particular companies or websites people can contact to source them out?

Your catalog, and there’s also a website www.oxygenamerica.com that has just about everything I’ve just mentioned, from the ozone machines to the water coolers, air and water purifiers, supplements, etc.

Crusador:  Ozone injections seem to be the most effective method of oxygenating the body in a crisis situation because you can see results in a matter of weeks. What can you tell us about this?

There are three major clinical methods of applying ozone to the human body (you should always work with a competently trained health care provider, hopefully one skilled in the oxidative modalities). How do you get ozone into the human blood? First of all is it safe? What about air embolisms? Everyone says, “You can’t inject a gas into the blood!” Oh yes you can; I’ve done it to myself, I’ve seen thousands of people do it, I’ve talked to hundreds and hundreds of doctors who have been doing it for many years. The reason you can is that ozone is 98% pure oxygen, and 2% ozone. And ozone itself is pure oxygen. You take a medical grade oxygen tank, put it through a machine that creates ozone, fill the syringe with the ozone and then inject it very slowly into the human body.  As the blood passes the tip of the syringe, the hemoglobin grabs the oxygen and carries it around and starts detoxifying itself by killing the bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc. because the body finally got the oxygen in an active form, clean energetic oxygen it can then use to clean itself out.

The third best medical ozone therapy- they’ve been using it in Germany for the past 50 years – is to remove a pint or so of blood into a vacutainer, inject ozone into the vacutainer, and then drip the now bright red blood (which used to be dark and cloudy) back into the body. That’s called Autohemotherapy. The second best way you can put ozone into the body is called Direct I.V., where you simply fill the syringe, as I said, and very slowly push it into the bloodstream through a winged infusion set. That’s very popular here in America. The best of all the methods is Recirculatory Hemoperfusion. With the first two methods I just discussed the ozone reacts with the toxins, bacteria, viruses, fungus, etc, and then leaves the leftover dead, detoxified compounds in the body where the lungs, kidneys, liver, and lymph system have to process out all this garbage that’s been killed and left in the fluids. The body has to be able to deal with it. If the body is sick and already stressed, like someone who has cancer, this is going to be a little rough on them because they are going to have to do is use their weak organs to filter out these waste products. With Recirculatory Hemoperfusion (RHP) you take dirty dark blood out of one arm, ozonate it and filter it outside of the body, and then pump the now sterile bright red blood back into the other arm (or you can use the legs). So you have this constant circulation in and out of the body. The beauty of this is that you don’t send the waste products back into the body, because they are caught in a filter outside the body. So you take out this dark brown, purple, black almost - filthy blood, full of disease, microbes, bacteria, etc., and you totally sterilize, purify, and filter it outside the body with the ozone and filtering system. Then you put this bright cherry-red, perfect blood back into the body. You don’t put any extra stress on the inner organs to have to deal with all the garbage you just created by oxidizing all the toxins and microbes. It’s very hard to find this treatment around the world but that’s the best method there is. Centers keep opening and closing and moving around but that is the future of what we’re talking about here.

Crusador:  Is that legal in the United States, or is that something the FDA frowns upon?

In my book I talk about how the FDA has given human-testing approval for this, but no one has come up with the money.  However, it’s not taught in American medical schools, so you may run into resistance from people who don’t understand that this has been used for 50 years all over the world.  The only thing stopping it in this country is politics. You can go to Russia and there are huge hospitals, clinics, and schools teaching and using ozone therapy on a daily basis, and they have been doing so for fifteen or more years. It’s very common. If you go to Cuba their whole medical system is filled with inexpensive and highly effective ozone therapy. There are thousands of doctors and naturopaths in Germany using ozone therapy on a daily basis and it’s still not taught in the American medical schools. 

Crusador:  If someone reading this story wants to find someone in their area that practices these therapies is that easy to do?  Is there anywhere you would recommend people to go to source out that kind of information?

In the back of my book I have a state-by-state, country-by-country list of doctors and clinics that practice these kinds of therapies. You can go to your local health food store and ask around. There are 16 states or so that have passed alternative medical practice laws, making it completely legal in that state for doctors to choose whatever is best for the patient, without restriction. It’s the doctors who should be deciding, not some agency or review board; it’s the doctors who are on the cutting-edge. 

Crusador:  Do you have anything to add that would be vital to cover?

I think we’ve covered the main things. Two main points are that the body uses oxygen to detoxify itself, and that toxins and waste products are the cause of all disease because once they come into the body the oxygen levels drop, making the body hospitable for the proliferation of bacteria, fungus, viruses, and other pathogens (anaerobes). The two main points are:

1.) The body uses oxygen to detoxify itself.
2.) Oxygen creates an environment that is inhospitable for anaerobes.

When humanity wakes up to these facts and drops the political restrictions to the implementation of oxygen/ozone therapies, we’re going to have these as the major disease treatments in every hospital, in every clinic, in every doctor’s office.

Crusador:  That can’t happen soon enough as far as I’m concerned. Certainly I appreciate your time Ed. You’ve given us a lot to really educate our readers.

Thank you for letting me share this information with your readers.
