Don't Lose The Battle Of The Gut

During his lifetime in the 1st Century, Hippocrates, The Father of Western Medicine, exclaimed : “All Diseases Begin In The Gut!


Ok, perhaps he didn’t exclaim it quite so, but it is written in Corpus Hippocraticum a series of medical works which are believed to have been written by his students and quite possibly with writings and additions from the great man himself too.


So what is the subject of gut health doing in an Ozone Therapy Wellness Blog?


Firstly, as Ozone Practitioners, we believe in the holistic point of healing.  Secondly, we know that oxygen in its many forms is paramount to cell health, for without oxygen we not only age, but we become diseased and can bring on our own (sometimes premature) death.  

Our gut is host to trillions of micro-organisms, both good and bad.  With our diets having changed so much over the last 100 or so years, bad bacteria are finding wonderful areas in our gut, intestines and digestive system and they feed happily on the processed junk we put into our bodies every day.

When oxygen intolerant (anerobic) pathogens multiply out of control in our digestive system, they strip our bodies of vital nutrients, altering our metabolism and creating cravings – all in their favour.  So we feed them with sugars, chemicals and other so-called nutrients found on food labels which all spell one thing.  Cell death.

The damage this causes to our intestinal lining results in diseases such as IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), leaky gut and Chrohn’s Disease, amongst others.

So what about the good bacteria in our gut?   Our bodies are constantly producing H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) in the gut to help the aerobic (good) bacteria, whilst trying to constantly neutralize the anerobic pathogens.  Good bacteria cannot survive in un-oxygenated environments and as the junk we consume passes off gasses and toxins which the bad bacteria feed on, so the cycle increases until eventually we have very little good gut flora left to fight with.  And then disease sets in.
Our modern diets and poor water intake do not supply us with enough pure oxygen anymore… and so, most of us are losing the battle of the gut.

We need oxygen!  Every cell in our body is reliant on oxygen for its reproduction and for good health.

At The Ozone Pod we employ two methods of using H2O2
-          - Within our sauna capsules, H2O2 is created during a hyperthermia ozone session.
-         -  Through oral application with Raindrops Gut Rescue Drops which is used as a complement to your ozone therapy.

H2O2 is an oxidising compound, as is O3 (Ozone) and so some people may experience Herxheimer Reactions (see our article here), but no one puts this as succinctly as America’s own Mr Oxygen, Ed McCabe:

Cleansing Reactions (from Flood Your Body With Oxygen – Therapy for Our Polluted World)

At some point you are going to get a cleansing reaction.  This is a process where the body eliminates old cells and toxic material.  All you will know and feel is that you are getting a cold, or a rash, or loose stools, or a fever.  The cleansing reaction means the oxygen has hit the spot where you start burning up, or oxidising, the bacteria, the viruses, the funguses and the pathogens.
Another cleansing reaction is that your urine will have a very strong odour.  Likewise, your fecal matter will have all sorts of unusual things being released it in.  Given the correct tools, the body flushes out toxic matter.  If you don’t oxygenate slowly and detox slowly you’ll have odours coming from your feet, your ears, your under arms, and at times you will smell like a skunk! It’s the garbage leaving.


So, consider how much oxygen your body needs to fight toxins.  Speak to us soon about getting your gut back to a healthy one!
