New Evidence Emerges in Warburg's Theory of Cancer

Below is an interesting update on the controversy surrounding Dr Otto Warburg's theory of cancer.  

From these findings, we have, through the work of Dr Frank Shallenberger, MD, (and other professionals in the USA and Europe) seen the effect enriched Oxygen, or Ozone, has on diminishing the growth of cancer cells and, in some cases, killing them completely.

We have found many patients at The Pod who have refused chemotherapy and radiation, opting for a more natural therapy regime.  Oftentimes, the patients who have been diagnosed as terminally ill, and are forecast a period of time until death, experience renewed energy and relief of pain through the use of Ozone Therapy.  Their wish to have quality of life is often fulfilled through the gentle action the ozone has on their diseases, and in some cases we have seen overseas, has prolonged their lives longer than their oncologists have predicted.

This begs the question then : Why do Allopathic Doctors and Specialists fear the use of complementary treatments such as Ozone Therapy?

German scientist Otto H. Warburg's theory on the origin of cancer earned him the Nobel Prize in 1931, but the biochemical basis for his theory remained elusive.

His theory that cancer starts from irreversible injury to cellular respiration eventually fell out of favor amid research pointing to genomic mutations as the cause of uncontrolled cell growth.

Seventy-eight years after Warburg received science's highest honor, researchers from Boston College and Washington University School of Medicine report new evidence in support of the original Warburg Theory of Cancer.

A descendant of German aristocrats, World War I cavalry officer and pioneering biochemist, Warburg first proposed in 1924 that the prime cause of cancer was injury to a cell caused by impairment to a cell's power plant - or energy metabolism - found in its mitochondria.

In contrast to healthy cells, which generate energy by the oxidative breakdown of a simple acid within the mitochondria, tumors and cancer cells generate energy through the non-oxidative breakdown of glucose, a process called glycolysis.  Indeed, glycolysis is the biochemical hallmark of most, if not all, types of cancers. Because of this difference between healthy cells and cancer cells, Warburg argued, cancer should be interpreted as a type of mitochondrial disease.

In the years that followed, Warburg's theory inspired controversy and debate as researchers instead found that genetic mutations within cells caused malignant transformation and uncontrolled cell growth. Many researchers argued Warburg's findings really identified the effects, and not the causes, of cancer since no mitochondrial defects could be found that were consistently associated with malignant transformation in cancers.

Abnormalities in cardiolipin can impair mitochondrial function and energy production. Boston College doctoral student Michael Kiebish and Professors Thomas N. Seyfried and Jeffrey Chuang compared the cardiolipin content in normal mouse brain mitochondria with CL content in several types of brain tumors taken from mice.  Bioinformatic models were used to compare the lipid characteristics of the normal and the tumor mitochondria samples. Major abnormalities in cardiolipin content or composition were present in all types of tumors and closely associated with significant reductions in energy-generating activities.Boston College biologists and colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine found new evidence to support Warburg's theory by examining mitochondrial lipids in a diverse group of mouse brain tumors, specifically a complex lipid known as cardiolipin (CL). They reported their findings in the December edition of the Journal of Lipid Research.

The findings were consistent with the pivotal role of cardiolipin in maintaining the structural integrity of a cell's inner mitochondrial membrane, responsible for energy production. The results suggest that cardiolipin abnormalities "can underlie the irreversible respiratory injury in tumors and link mitochondrial lipid defects to the Warburg theory of cancer," according to the co-authors.

These findings can provide insight into new cancer therapies that could exploit the bioenergetic defects of tumor cells without harming normal body cells.

Can Ozone Therapy Cure Damaged Kidneys?

Kidney failure is when the kidneys stop working well enough for you to live without dialysis or a kidney transplant. Kidney failure can happen very suddenly (called acute renal failure) or slowly over time. In most cases, kidney failure is permanent. This is called end-stage renal disease or ESRD.

Many patients are treated with allopathic medication such as prednisone, cyclophosphamide, and other immunosuppresant drugs as well as renal dialysis and even surgeries and transplants.

Ozone not only assists with the elimination of toxins but also helps to regulate and enhance immune functions.

Many kidney disease patients suffer from renal ischemia and renal hypoxia.  Ozone therapy relieves the lack of oxygen and blood in the kidneys.

With ozone therapy, there are no surgical procedures involved and patients are not at risk for side-effects which surgery and drugs can bring on.  At The Pod, we use minor Autohemotherapy in conjunction with Hyperthermia Therapy to help a patient in renal failure.  While we advocate that they continue with their treatment regime as set down by their specialists, we also believe using ozone treatments as an adjunct or complementary treatment will be beneficial as it increases the amount of oxygen in the blood in the kidneys, thereby preventing further deterioration.  In some cases, it has been found to repair damaged renal tissues.

Ozone Therapy also helps patients who are on dialysis.  Typically, patients will experience a boost of energy after their ozone treatment.  They report alleviation of chronic pain, better sleep quality as well a general feeling of wellbeing.  As mentioned earlier, ozone increases the oxygen levels in the bloodstream, which helps to detoxify the body, giving the liver, colon, skin and kidneys less of a work load to keep the body flushed of toxic substances.

Ozone breaks down rapidly from O3 to O2 to O-.   This single negatively charged oxygen atom not only attached itself to free radicals but creates organic peroxide which the human body utilizes effectively.  Peroxides increase oxygen in the blood.

Unfortunately, there is no cure yet for kidney failure although both ozone treatment along with osmotherapy and other allopathic medications can have great success in stimulating the repair of kidney tissues and cells and helping to restore renal function to some extent.

There is a cure for Lyme Disease

There are dozens of testimonials about various therapies which have cured patients of Lyme Disease on the internet and YouTube - and all have a similar thread.  Ozone Therapy.

Lyme Disease is an infection caused by being bitten by an infected tick. The first and typical symptom is usually a rash that spreads out from the site of the tick bite. Left untreated, the germs (bacteria) can spread to other areas of the body.

Not all sufferers will experience this rash.

Ozone Hyperthermia Therapy (a steam cabinet, or as we call it, The Pod) is by far the preferred method of application of patients who have testified to being cured of Lyme Disease.

This is because the patient feels relaxed, warm and there has been no invasion as with other therapies such as intravenous lines or insufflation.   

Lyme Disease already makes the patient feel so ill, with headaches, nausea, chronic fatigue, muscle and skeletal pain amongst others that we don’t want to subject them to anything that will add to the debilitating condition they already find themselves in.

Despite its healing properties through the hyperthermic application of ozone, the faint hint of it while sitting in The Pod also has a disinfecting fragrance which stimulates the olfactory senses and sends healing signals to the brain.

Diet too plays an important role in the elimination of the disease.  Lyme Disease is a bacteria which feeds off, amongst others, sugar.  Sugar and complex carbohydrates need to be removed from your diet.  Not all at once you understand.  It’s bad enough that the ozone therapy will be detoxifying your body and starting its miraculous work of ridding your bloodstream of those spirochetes (the bacteria that carries Lyme) which feed off sugars.  And some people might be prone to some detox side effects such as headaches and fatigue – even more than the Lyme already is causing.  So, start slowly and be kind to your body.  Start your ozone therapy first.  Once the detox has reached its peak, then slowly change your diet, one item at a time.

We offer a well-researched and step-by-step diet changing plan to complement Ozone Therapy.  Simply ask a therapist at your consultation about it.

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.

Ozone Therapy Gives Life to Breast Cancer Patients

It's October.  That means it's Breast Cancer Awareness month. We see companies and charities all going pink during October in an attempt to create awareness and raise funds.

But what about the rest of the year?
Breast cancer victims suffer through the other 11 months too.  In some rural areas of South Africa, women think that they will only get breast cancer in October... that's because of all the hype around it in the month.

We were fortunate enough to witness the amazing benefits of Ozone Therapy on two breast cancer patients.

One chose to take the allopathic route with chemo, surgery and radiation.  The other refused.

Let's call Patient A, Agatha.  Agatha was diagnosed with Stage IV triple-negative breast cancer.   Pathology results showed the cells tested negative for hormone epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2), estrogen receptors (ER), and progesterone receptors (PR).  Since the tumour lacked these receptors, regular treatments like hormone therapy with drugs targeting estrogen, progesterone and HER-2 would be ineffective.  Her oncologist, however, suggested chemotherapy and surgery anyway.  He also did not believe she would live more than three months.

She went ahead with his suggestions, having the chemo, surgery and radiation, but she also purchased an Ozone Hyperthermia Therapy sauna cabinet.  She ozonated her body once a day, every day, for 30 minutes.  She also changed her diet, cutting out sugars, complex carbs and diary.  She was fiesty, had energy and looked fabulous.  Six years later, Agatha passed away.  And not from the cancer.  She was killed in a car accident.

Patient B, Corrine (not her real name either), was diagnosed under mammography and sonar with a 3cm tumour in her right breast.  Again, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation were ordered by her doctor.  Corrine refused this treatment and instead started Ozone Autohemotherapy with a Practitioner near her home.  Within three months her tumour had shrunk by half and within 9 months she was completely clear.  Corrine still continues a maintenance programme to keep the cancer at bay and to date has been clear for over two years.

While these two cases are completely different, both patients benefited from Ozone Therapy during their illness.  We do not dismiss any doctor's treatment regimes for cancer, but we do urge patients to use Ozone as an adjunct or complementary treatment.

Ozone is not just for humans!

House Call to Rolo to clear
an abscess on her leg

One of our patients mentioned in passing that her poor furry baby had suddenly developed an unusual abscess on her leg and was in so much pain she could hardly walk.

Ozone to the rescue!

We took one of our portable ozonators and did our first house call.

Rolo's leg was bagged (thank you Checkers for your packets!) for 3 x 30 minute sessions over a two day period.  She clearly knew the ozone was going to help her as she lay very quietly, allowing the ozone to do it's miraculous work.

By the end of the first session she was already putting weight on her leg and after the third session the abscess had subsided considerably (instead of popping, which they are usually prone to do).

Apart from clearing the abscess, the oxygen which was absorbed into Rolo's bloodstream assisted her body with ridding itself of the toxins through normal channels, but also gave her an additional boost of energy.

We are so happy we were able to help get her back onto her feet again!
