Parasites are not just bugs - they're killers

I just read Dr Keith Scott-Mumby’s document on Parasites… and it scared me six ways from Sunday!

Having recently introduced Live Blood Analysis to our ozone practice, one of the things we’ve been concerned about is the number of parasitic infections we have seen in our patient’s bloodwork and so this article has prompted me to share some information about these nasties with you.

Where do they come from?

“Parasites have killed more humans than all the wars in history” (Season 1, Episode 1, The Body Snatchers, National Geographic).  They are hostile to humans.  They are found in everything humans require to live – air, food and water.

Too often we don’t realise we have a parasitic infection.  Why would we?  We wash our hands, we bathe, we eat cooked food?  The Myth is that parasites only infect dirty people.  The Truth is, that doorknob you just opened, the salad just prepared at your favourite restaurant and washed under the municipal water tap, the fresh carrot straight out of the ground you munched at the market?  All could potentially be carrying parasites.  It takes just ONE egg to infect you.

Our pets too carry parasites which are transmitted through simple actions like petting them and then unthinkingly touching our mouths.

Our children play in sandpits, often eating the sand.  It’s a breeding ground for parasites.

What will a parasitic infection do to me?

Horrible, indescribable things!  In truth, if not detected and treated, parasites have been reported to kill over 100,000 people worldwide each year.  The World Health Organization reported that over 3.5 billion people worldwide are infected with some type of parasite.

Parasites can cause itching, diarrhoea, blindness, paralysis, insomnia, hyperactivity in children.  The list goes on. 

Here’s an example. 

One fish tapeworm (yes, tapeworms are parasites) can grow to 10m.  And they will lay eggs.  In your intestines.  Thousands of eggs.  And those tapeworms will grow until eventually you could have them hanging out of your anus.  Disgusting?  True!

The picture on the right shows a tapeworm removed during surgery.

The good news is …. There is help!

Recognising that your fatigue, sleeplessness, weight loss problems etc could be due to a parasitic infection is the first step to your good health.

Since there are over 3,000 different types of parasites (and each with its own life cycle and pattern) one needs to first understand that the parasite is a creature which depends on its host for survival.  It leeches vitamins and nutrients from our bodies to keep itself alive.  The parasite invades a bodily structure, inflicting damage to that structure (i.e. the liver) which oftentimes causes the degeneration of that organ, sadly sometimes irrevocably.

Treatment, therefore, while generalized and effective, should be streamlined specifically to the parasite in question.  For this, further laboratory testing would be required.

De-Stress and Detox

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in the body’s fight against disease.  It is made up of clear ‘tubes’ filled with clear lymphatic fluid.  If either the tubes, ducts or the nodes get clogged up, it can compromise the body’s immune system.

Lymphatic Drainage is a type of massage which stimulates the lymphatic system into releasing blockages and assists the body in removing toxins, metabolic waste, bacteria and other pathogens through natural circulation in the lymph system.  Exercise is important in keeping the lymphatic system running as is massage, some adjunct therapies such as cranio-sacral therapy and, naturally, our area of expertise, Ozone Therapy.

Along with Ozone Hyperthermia Therapy which oxidizes these pathogens, The Pod’s DeStress-Detox Programme gives the body a huge boost in ridding itself of toxins while at the same time, it gently introduces enriched oxygen into the bloodstream.

Who Should Get a Lymph Drainage Massage?

Anybody! Everybody!

If you’ve been feeling off-colour or you’ve been ill, if you’ve just had surgery, or you’re a sportsperson who trains hard and has suffered an injury, lymph drainage can help to get you back on track.  In fact, it assists patients who suffer from CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), fibromyalgia, and many other physical conditions.  Many patients who have just had surgery will find that their lymph nodes are swollen as huge demands are placed on them for recovery.  Deep tissue massage at this stage is not recommended, which is why our Aromatherapist at The Pod will use effleurage massage techniques during the De-Stress massage part of the treatment.

What is a De-Stress/Detox Treatment?

For the first half hour of the treatment, the Aromatherapist will concentrate on gentle massage using a detoxifying blend of pure essential oils.  She will concentrate on stimulating the lymph nodes where the patient has the most need.

After a short rest, the patient will be put into a hyperthermic pod by a Practitioner, where ozone will be introduced.  Steam in the pod opens the pores of the skin allowing transdermal absorption of the ozone into the bloodstream.

We recommend this treatment regime once every second week, with alternating Ozone and/or Aromatherapy sessions in between.

Bring in the New Year with Good Health!

As we say farewell to 2015, we would like to take a moment to thank every one of our patients for putting their health in our hands.

From humans to animals, our Ozone Therapy has been effective in treating many of the illnesses, afflictions and diseases that our patients have presented with at The Ozone Pod this year.

Dr Mitch and Trisch will be attending the American Ozonotherapists Association's week long course in the new year, bringing back new treatment protocols and updated modalities so that we can give even better care to our patients and increase our stable of adjunct therapies at our wellness centre.

We wish you all a very HEALTHY and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

IS OZONE SAFE?

IS OZONE SAFE?

Many of our first-time patients ask this question.

5.5 MILLION Ozone treatments say YES!

The German Medical Society reported that 384,775 patients were treated with 5,579,238 applications of ozone (an average of 14 treatments per patient) and that the side effect rate was only 0.00005 per application.

Let’s talk about the side effects. 

These are minor inconveniences and are short-lived, so those who do get a headache after their first session, or who might ‘feel lousy’ afterwards, are merely oxidising their inner garbage.

During detoxification, your body might start mimicking all your previous diseases.  Imagine a cell in your body as an onion.  As you peel it, layer for layer, the ozone starts removing the toxicity in your body.  As each layer is peeled away, the ozone removes the leftover remnants of diseases, pollutants, drugs, dead bacteria and viruses which have not been flushed out.  

While they are inert, their chemical signatures still abound.

As they are then oxidised and start leaving the body, one might experience similar symptoms to what you first encountered.  

But the more treatments, the more peeling takes place, and eventually one is at the core of the cell which now is well oxygenated and therefore able to tackle any new pollutants.

At The Pod, we treat our patients gently, increasing the dosage of Ozone slowly and spread over a longer period of time.  This allows the body to flush out toxins, rebuild, flush out, rebuild and so on until the patient once again regains their health without suffering any severe side effects.

By comparison, look at how many people die from drug-related side effects each day throughout the world.  As an example, in the USA, more than 40 people will die from overdosing on prescription drugs, of which just over 50% is through accidental ingestion of a combination of drugs. 

So a very slight headache from ozone therapy surely is encouragement that Ozone Therapy is SAFE.

Don't Give Up!

We met a lady the other day who boldly stated "Ozone didn't help me in fact it made me feel even sicker!"

When I questioned her on how she had been treated, it was clear that the 'Ozone Practitioner' she had been to was of the 'back-room' type and had not been trained properly (if at all) in the protocols of Ozone Hyperthermia Therapy.

Said lady's friend had purchased a small second-hand ozone pod for home use off an internet site.  She had set it up in a room in her house and turned it into a business to recoup the costs of the machine.  When the lady went in for her sessions, she came away feeling awful and did not see the value of the therapy, which had been rather expensive.  No wonder - after some investigation, we worked out that the 'practitioner' had set her machine at a one-stop-fits-all setting of 100% ozone and 100% steam at 40 degrees Celsius and was gaily making sick people feel even worse.

Warning!

Now we don't want to knock this person as we're sure she also means well, but 'playing with ozone' is like playing with fire - if you don't know what you're doing, you're sure to burn your bridges (in more ways than one).

Don't Give Up On Ozone

After taking a full medical history of this lady, we found she has a heart condition, for which she takes chronic medication, and had recently been experiencing headaches.  We found that a side-effect of the medication was headaches, however, her blood pressure was also high which too could be why she was suffering from them.  She also was extremely stressed in her job (putting that blood pressure up) and had recently suffered a loss in her family.

Our protocol therefore was adjusted specifically to her needs.

Under no circumstances would we induce high temperature steam into the pod as this would cause the heart to beat too fast and could damage the already damaged heart even further.  We would start her at a low dosage of ozone as the detoxifying effects could bring on an even bigger headache (which the poor lady didn't need) and we really wanted to heal her body and show her the benefits of using Ozone Therapy.

Five sessions later, we asked her if her initial statement still held true.

"Oh no!" she exclaimed, "I am feeling so much better and I haven't had a headache in a week now.  Also, I have more energy and I feel like I'm dealing with my loss a lot easier."

Ozone Therapy is extremely beneficial when used under the correct protocols, but, like everything else, when not used properly can cause untold problems and create disillusioned patients who give up hope.

PS: We've been in touch with the 'practitioner' and offered her proper training.  Sadly, she has refused.
