Topic: The discoveries of Dr. Warburg, Dr. Watson, Dr. Varro
In the 1930s, Dr. Otto Warburg of Germany hypothesized that the predominate precondition for cancer is lack of oxygen to the cells. He came to this conclusion because he noticed that cancer cells had decreased respiration in comparison to healthy cells, and that the mitochondria of the cancer cells had decreased energy production (2). For this he won the Nobel Prize in 1931. Dr. Max Gerson author of A Cancer Therapy: Results of Fifty Cases and the Cure of Advanced Cancer supports Warburg by stating that "the ideal task of cancer therapy is to restore the function of oxidizing systems in the entire organism." Online author, mathematician and accountant Webster Kehr contests that "cancer cells die when exposed to oxygen..." (3). This belief means cancer cells are anaerobic or thriving in low oxygen conditions and destroyed in contact with oxygen. If cancer is predominately caused by a lack of oxygen to the cells, then oxidizing the cells should restore some sort of balance. Warburg believed that lack of oxygen was the primary cause for cancer, and though he acknowledged other factors, he believed there was little need to focus on them, because they would distract from the primary cause which was lack of oxygen. Warburg discovered that once healthy cells are in low oxygen levels they are forced to ferment. The byproducts of fermentation thus causes the mutation of the cell. This is the number one reason why ozone is thought to help fight cancer. Author of Flood Your Body with Oxygen, Ed McCabe explains that oxygen causes diseased cells to oxidize and be "burnt up in oxygen". However, healthy cells produce a protective antioxidant shield that diseased cells can not produce because they are consumed with toxins. Therefore, when the body is flooded with oxygen in ozone therapy, only the diseased cells waste away. Our bodies as well as our antibodies produce low levels of ozone (4). Compounding ozone's likelihood to fight cancer are the discoveries of Noble Prize winner Dr. James Watson and Dr. Joaquim Varro. Watson, co-discoverer of the DNA double helix, discovered that a component of cancer is viral, "among the most useful carcinogenic agents know at present are several viruses" (2). Therefore, ozone kills virus, a component of cancer is viral, and some cancers are caused by viruses such as Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and Human papillomavirus (HPV). Varro discovered that ozone as well as oxygen and hydrogen peroxide have the ability to inhibit the growth of select cancer tumors. Studies at the University of California-Irvine have supported this discovery in finding that ozone therapy specifically helps patients with Hodgkin's Lymphoma (5).
The discoveries of Warburg, Watson, and Varro were integral to developing a regime for ozone to fight cancer. Ozone is an effective immunoregulator that kills pathogens, mitigates infection, detoxifies the body, increases circulation and oxygen levels, combats fatigue.

I encourage all to look at opposing research for this therapy, as I did. You can try quackwatch.com, drweil.com, or even check out comments on mai other blogs in this series. What works for some, doesn't work for all, and vice versa. But if you are in need, and knowledge of this underrated treatment could help you, I'm fully justified and proud to shed more light. Let's not shoot down progress in favor of ignorance. This is NOT the first medical care that people have villianized only to later tout as advanced.

"Hyperoxygenation" Therapies
"Hyperoxygenation" therapy -- also called "bio-oxidative therapy" and "oxidative therapy" -- is based on the erroneous concept that cancer is caused by oxygen deficiency and can be cured by exposing cancer cells to more oxygen than they can tolerate. The most touted agents are hydrogen peroxide, germanium sesquioxide, and ozone. Although these compounds have been the subject of legitimate research, there is little or no evidence that they are effective for the treatment of any serious disease, and each has demonstrated potential for harm [30]. Germanium products have caused irreversible kidney damage and death [31]. The FDA has banned their importation and seized products from several U.S. manufacturers.
Q: Can Oxygen Cure Cancer?
I have heard that disease cannot live in the presence of oxygen. Is this true? If so, can oxygen therapy be used to treat cancer?
A : Answer (Published 1/5/2004)
Oxygen therapy is being promoted on the Internet as a treatment for cancer, but there is no evidence that it works. The notion that oxygen might destroy cancer cells goes back to the 1930s when Otto Warburg, MD, a Nobel Prize winner, discovered that compared to normal cells, cancer cells have a low respiration rate. He proposed that if cancer cells survive and grow in a low oxygen environment, they would die off if exposed to higher levels of oxygen. Since then, we've learned that Dr. Warburg was wrong. Oxygen doesn't slow cancer growth - tumors grow rapidly in tissues well supplied with oxygenated blood and the opposite is true, too: depriving tumors of oxygen doesn't stimulate their growth. Moreover, a study published in the Spring/Summer 1998 issue of Scientific Review of Alternative Medicine noted that since human tissues require 200 to 250 ml of oxygen per minute, an additional 20 ml that could be dissolved in all of the plasma of a normal weight adult would hardly be enough to make a difference in the amount of oxygen cancer cells would receive.
"Quack, quack!" said the duck.

Sounds interesting. Anything that gives us some information that could be useful, I say let's follow up. People are destroyed for lack of knowledge, and a lack of knowledge on health care is certainly destroying us.
I appreciate it.
