Ozone Benefits for Athletes !

The Transdermal Ozone therapy method has a number of advantages over the other methods:

1)     It treats the whole body simultaneously;
2)     The steam sauna has its own de-toxifying effects in addition to the de-toxification induced by Ozone; 6,7
3)    Transdermal Ozone cleanses the lymph. 90% of body fluids are stored in the lymph, which is superficial, lying just under the skin, only moving around the body once every 24 hours. Transdermal Ozone will cleanse and de-toxify this often sluggish system; 8
4)     This method does not involve injections or needles, does not need the administration of a medical doctor, tends to be cheaper for the clients than methods that only a doctor may use legally, and is both profoundly relaxing and enjoyable for the client.

Transdermal/hyperthermic Ozone therapy has been proven to have a powerful oxygenating effect on the body. The paper Quasi-total body exposure to Oxygen/ Ozone in a sauna cabinet (1999) concluded that hyperthermic ozone induced a “statistically significant, rapid increase of venous pO2 (partial pressure of Oxygen)”. It further concluded that TBARS (another measurement of Oxygenation of the blood) “increase steadily”. 9

ME and all of cases of low vitality are conditions I have seen Ozone therapy get especially consistent results with. Almost everyone comments on how much more energy they have within a few sessions. There have also been benefits for multiple sclerosis, diabetes and digestive problems; in fact, the range of benefits is for any condition where the main cause is toxins in the body.

Thirteen Major Effects of Ozone On The Human Body

By Dr. Frank Shallenberger

1. Ozone stimulates the production of white blood cells. These cells protect the body from viruses, bacteria, fungi and cancer. Deprived of oxygen, these cells malfunction. They fail to eliminate invaders and even turn against normal, healthy cells (allergic reactions). Ozone significantly raises the oxygen levels in the blood for long periods after ozone administration; as a result, allergies have a tendency to become desensitized.

2. Interferon levels are significantly increased. Interferons are globular proteins that orchestrate every aspect of the immune system. Some interferons are produced by cells infected by viruses. These interferons warn adjacent, healthy cells of the likelihood of infection; in turn, they are rendered nonpermissive host cells, inhibiting viral replication. Other interferons are produced in the muscles, connective tissue and by white blood cells. Levels of gamma interferon can be elevated 400-900% by ozone. This interferon is involved in the control of phagocytic cells that engulf and kill pathogens and abnormal cells. Synthetic interferons are FDA approved for the treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B and C, Genital Warts (caused by Papilloma virus, Hairy-cell Leukemia, Kaposi's Sarcoma, Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis and Chronic Granulomatous Disease. Interferons are currently in clinical trials for Throat Warts (caused by Papilloma virus), HIV infection, Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Leukemia, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, Colon tumors, Kidney tumors, Bladder Cancer, Malignant Melanoma, Basal Cell Carcinoma and Leishmaniasis. While levels induced by ozone remain safe, interferon levels that are FDA-approved (and in clinical trials) are extremely toxic.

3. Ozone stimulates the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor. TNF is produced by the body when a tumor is growing. The greater the mass of the tumor the more tumor necrosis factor is produced (up to a point). When a tumor has turned metastatic, cancer cells are breaking off and being carried away by the blood and lymph, allowing the tumor to take up residence elsewhere in the body. These lone cancer cells have little chance of growing due to the TNF produced to inhibit the original tumor. When the tumor is removed surgically TNF levels drop dramatically and new tumors emerge from seemingly healthy tissue.

4. Ozone stimulates the secretion of IL-2. Interleukin-2 is one of the cornerstones of the immune system, secreted by T-helpers. In a process known as autostimulation, the IL-2 then binds to a receptor on the T-helper and causes it to produce more IL-2. Its main duty is to induce lymphocytes to differentiate and proliferate, yielding more T-helpers, T-suppressors, cytotoxic T's, T-delayeds and T-memory cells.

5. Ozone kills most bacteria at low concentrations. The metabolism of most bacteria is on average one-seventeenth as efficient as our own. Because of this, most cannot afford to produce disposable anti-oxidant enzymes such as catalase. Very few types of bacteria can live in an environment composed of more than two percent ozone.

6. Ozone is effective against all types of fungi. This includes systemic Candida albicans, athlete’s foot, molds, mildews, yeasts and even mushrooms.

7. Ozone is the best virucide. As discussed above, ozone goes after the viral particles directly. The part of the virus most sensitive to oxidation is the "reproductive structure". This is how the virons enter the cell. With this structure inactivated, the virus is essentially "dead". Cells already infected have a natural weakness to ozone. Due to the metabolic burden of the infection the cells can no longer produce the protective enzymes necessary to deal with the ozone and repair the cell.

8. Ozone is antineoplastic. This means that ozone inhibits the growth of new tissue because rapidly dividing cells shift their priorities away from producing the enzymes needed to protect themselves from the ozone. Cancer cells are rapidly dividing cells and are thus inhibited by ozone.

9. Ozone oxidizes arterial plaque. It breaks down the plaque involved in both Arteriosclerosis and Atherosclerosis. This means ozone has a tendency to clear blockages of small and even large vessels. This allows for better tissue oxygenation in deficient organs.

10. Ozone increases the flexibility and elasticity of red blood cells. When one views a red blood cell under a microscope, it looks like a disc. In the capillaries, where they pick-up (lungs) and release (tissue) oxygen, these discs stretch out into the shape of an oval or umbrella. This aids their passage through the tiny capillaries and makes the exchange of gas more efficient. The increase in flexibility of the RBC's allows oxygen levels to stay elevated for days, or even weeks after treatment with ozone.

11. Ozone accelerates the Citric Acid Cycle. Also known as the Kreb's Cycle or TCA Cycle, this is a very important step in the glycolysis of carbohydrate for energy. This takes place in the mitochondria of the cell. Most of the energy stored in glucose (sugar) is converted in this pathway.

12. Ozone makes the anti-oxidant enzyme system more efficient. Cells respond to the beneficial oxidative stress by increasing their production of the protective enzymes.

13. Ozone breaks down petrochemicals. These chemicals have a potential to place a great burden on the immune system. They also worsen and even cause allergies and are detrimental to your long-term health.

Far Infrared, Ozone, & Hair Mineral Analysis

Why a Far Infrared (FIR) Sauna?

What is far-infrared radiant heat?

Far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat is a form of naturally occurring energy that heats objects by direct light conversion (DLC). DLC warms only the object and does not raise the temperature of the surrounding free air.

All life requires FIR heat from the sun. FIR heat is not ultraviolet radiation but a narrow band of energy within the 5.6 to 15 micron level. This type of energy travels 2-3" deep into the body to increase circulation and nourish damaged tissue.

The sun is the primary source of radiant energy, but not all of this energy is beneficial. Although life needs energy from the sun, too much sunlight damages the skin. FIR heat provides all the healthy benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation.

The Skin

The skin is the largest organ of the body, containing millions of sweat glands. Among its many functions is elimination, acting as a third kidney. Perspiration is capable of performing 27% of our total detoxification ability. Sweating eliminates a wide range of toxins efficiently with no stress on your liver or kidneys, while cleansing the skin and the underlying connective tissues for baby-soft, healthy, glowing skin.

Resonant absorption of far infrared energy causes toxins to become soluble and release from storage in the cells and connective tissue into the lymph. Sweat is then produced from this toxic lymph fluid bypassing the other routes of elimination: liver, kidneys, bowels, lungs and sinuses. This is a major advantage for those with stress in any of these areas.

Most Americans are carrying a toxic burden of 400 and 800 toxic substances stored in our fat cells. Extra fat is stored to dilute these chemicals and keep them in storage. Because our environment exposes us to higher levels than we are able to eliminate, bio-accumulation becomes a major contributor to reduced health and chronic degenerative conditions like cancer and cardiovascular disease. Many health practitioners now recognize far infrared saunas as one of the most effective methods of reducing the body’s burden of chemicals and heavy metals with minimum strain on the body’s organs.

Why far infrared ?

In Japanese research, far infrared radiation,"Ésignificantly increased intracellular calcium ion concentration, phagocytosisÉand the blastogenetic response of lymphocytes to mitogens. The results suggest that materials emitting electromagnetic radiation in the far infrared range, which are widely used in Japan for cosmetic, therapeutic, and preservative purposes, appear capable of potentiating leukocyte functions without promoting oxidative injury."

Why is infrared heat better than traditional steam heat?

Infrared heaters warm the body in the same manner as natural sunlight. FIR heat therapy uses the wavelength of the visible and non-visible light spectrum of sunlight that heats the body normally.

Traditional steam saunas raise the temperature of the air to a very high level within the chamber to warm the body. Some people have difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. FIR saunas work differently. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, FIR saunas heat the body directly. The result is a lower power bill and deeper tissue penetration. In the FIR sauna, the body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the harmful and extremely hot air of a traditional steam sauna. FIR saunas are safe for all ages.

What are ceramic infrared heaters?

Most FIR sauna heater elements are steel-coated. Steel coating is an older technology that directs the heat source but requires more time to warm up, operates at higher temperatures, and uses more energy to reach the level necessary for deep tissue penetration. Now, ceramic-coated heater elements result in lower temperatures and more efficient energy use.

Ceramic-coated FIR heaters produce the same useful energy as the sun at a very safe (.50) Gauss reading but without the harmful ultraviolet rays or electromagnetic field radiation of natural sunlight. Hospitals even use similar FIR heaters to warm newborn infants and treat hypothermia patients.

How about safety features?

SaunaGen takes safety very seriously and provides timed temperature control on all of their products. This feature sets the temperature and length of the session and automatically shuts the unit off afterward. You can relax without worrying about temperature settings!

How does infrared heat therapy relieves pain?
FIR heat relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation. Better circulation allows more oxygen to reach injured areas of the body and helps reduce pain and speed up the healing process. Many people use FIR heat as a successful treatment for arthritis, rheumatism and muscle spasms.

How does infrared heat therapy control weight?
Perspiring is part of the complex thermoregulatory process of the body that increases the heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate. The process requires a large amount of energy and reduces excess moisture, salt and subcutaneous fat. Fat becomes water soluble at 110ºF and the body sweats out fats and toxins.

How does infrared heat therapy provide the same effects of exercise?

The heart receives a workout similar to a 6-mile run in a 20-30 minute FIR sauna session and the body perspires the same amount as a 6-mile run. Infrared saunas are perfect for those that do not have time for regular exercise or suffer from injuries that inhibit rigorous activity.

How does infrared heat therapy eliminate toxins?
Toxins such as sodium, alcohol, nicotine, cholesterol and carcinogenic heavy metals (cadmium, lead, zinc, nickel) and mercury accumulate in the body during modern daily life. The body eliminates most toxins naturally by sweating but the process is sometimes too slow. Infrared heat therapy stimulates the sweat glands that cleanse and detoxify the skin. The FIR heat technology simply speeds up the body's natural process!

How does infrared heat therapy improved immune system?
Most illnesses are accompanied by a fever. During a fever, the body heats up to eliminate viruses and attack foreign agents. Often misunderstood, this rise in temperature is a natural stage of the immune system's healing process and is one of the best ways to rid the body of chemicals and unwelcome visitors. The immune system weakens the hold of viruses and bacterial growth. FIR heat therapy induces an "artificial fever" by heating up the body but without the pains of an illness. Subsequently, the body wards off invading organisms much more easily because the immune system is activated consistently by the "artificial fever". Recent studies also show that colds and flu-like illnesses are reduced dramatically if treated in the early stages with FIR heat therapy.

How does infrared heat therapy reduce stress?
Infrared heat therapy loosens the muscles and relaxes the body prior to a massage. Many massage therapists use infrared heat to provide more thorough and effective treatment.

How does infrared heat therapy benefit my skin?
Infrared heat improves circulation, expels dirt & chemicals and removes dead cells on the surface of the skin. All of these benefits lead to a more soft and firm complexion.

Beautiful Skin

Scars

Scars fully formed, even keloids, may be gradually softened.  Burns and other wounds or incisions may heal with significantly reduced scarring.

"I wanted to let you know that I am thrilled with my Sauna. I have had arthritis in my knees and hands for some time. Last year it spread to my spine and the pain became unbearable. My doctor had me on three pain pills a day and I was unable to enjoy many activities. After 4 to 6 weeks of using the sauna every other day I began to notice a difference. I am now completely off the pain pills and am able to bend over and tie my shoes without pain. During my last visit to my doctor I told him about the results I've had with the sauna. He was amazed at the improvement and wanted to know more. I directed him to your web site. Thank you very much for a wonderful product."
 
-Larry Long

Health Benefits of Infrared
The McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology reports "medical practitioners make use of infrared radiant heat to treat sprains, strains, bursitis, peripheral vascular diseases, arthritis, and muscle pain…"  Dr. Masao Nakamura of the O & P Medical Clinic in Japan reported success with the use of infrared heat treatment for:

Infrared Effects on Rheumatoid Arthritis
A case study reported in Sweden involved a 70 year-old man who had rheumatoid arthritis secondary to acute rheumatic fever.  He had reached his toxic limit of gold injections and his Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) was still 125.  After using an infrared heat system for less than five months, his ESR was down to 11.
The rheumatologist worked with a 14 year-old Swedish girl who had difficulty walking downstairs due to knee pain from the age of eight.  This therapist told her mother the girl would be in a wheelchair within two years if she did not begin gold corticosteroid therapy.  After three infrared sauna treatments, she began to become more agile and subsequently took up folk dancing without the aid of conventional approaches.  A clinical study in Japan reported a successful solution for seven out of seven cases of rheumatoid arthritis treated with whole body infrared therapy

Infrared Heat and Coronary Effect

Finnish researchers, reporting the regular use of saunas state "there is abundant evidence to suggest that blood vessels of regular sauna-users remain elastic and pliable longer due to the regular dilation and contraction" of blood vessels induced by sauna use.

A group of hypertensive patients was studied using far infrared saunas, to carefully evaluate the effects on the circulatory system.  With each infrared session, there was a decrease of blood pressure, cardiac ejection resistance, and total peripheral resistance in every subject.  There was also a significant increase of heart rates, stroke volumes, cardiac outputs and ejection fractions.  The researchers cite these last three effects as evidence that stimulation of the heart during infrared induced hyperthermia is well-compensated, while the prior list of effects show clear detail of the microcirculatory changes leading to the desired result of lowering blood pressure

Sweat Analysis

Source: Green Cross Hospital

FIR thermal systems use infrared energy to penetrate the body’s tissue to a depth of over 1 ½". Tests have shown that the energy output is tuned so closely to the body’s own radiant energy that our bodies absorb close to 93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin, known as conversion. By comparison, conventional saunas must rely only on indirect means of heat: first, on convection (air currents) and then, conduction (direct contact of hot air with the skin) to produce its heating effects. The FIR sauna is able to produce upwards to three times the sweat volume at much lower temperatures (110°-130°F vs. 180°-230°F). The FIR sauna is significantly less costly to operate and does not heat up the area outside of the sauna.

Far Infrared Saunas are able to remove heavy metal toxins (sweat analysis chart above), that accumulate due to sluggish elimination or exposure. Many clinics’ detoxification programs utilize FIR saunas for mercury toxicity, which they claim, is eliminated through the stool, hair and urine.

Anyone experiencing the following symptoms that are often linked to toxicity can benefit greatly from using the FIR heat sauna.

Allergies

Acne

Anxiety

Burning Skin

Brain Fog

Chronic Fatigue

Depression

Eczema

Frequent Colds

Insomnia

Memory Loss

Mood Swings

Muscle Pain

Poor Concentration

Joint Pain

The same combination of "resonant absorption" and low heat that effectively removes heavy metal toxicity from the body, also improves the immune system. A typical FIR heat sauna session causes a brief 1-3 degree increase in body temperature. Fever is the body’s defense against bacteria, microbes and consequent infection. This beneficial side effect triggers the production of white blood cells (leukocytes) by your bone marrow and killer T cells by your thymus, resulting in strengthening the immune system.

Imagine relaxing in a Far Infrared Sauna for 20 to 30 minutes as you burn as many calories and perspire as much as you would if you ran 6 miles, yet without any strain on your joints or spine. Your cardiovascular system gets a workout as your nervous system relaxes. Your immune system gets stronger because hyperthermia acts as an artificial fever, helping to eliminate bacterial and other invaders.

The profuse perspiration also cleanses and rejuvenates your skin and other tissues. Far Infrared Sauna technology is effective for burning calories, controlling weight, and even helping remove cellulite according to European beauty specialists. In one 25-minute session you burn up to 600 calories, as many calories as rowing for 30 minutes. At 110 degrees F, your body fat melts and becomes miscible with with the body fluids so you can actually excrete it through the glands of the skin, and pump it out through the lymph by exercising after your sauna warmup. With all these benefits, perhaps the best of all is the relaxation you feel as you read, listen to music, or meditate in a comfortable degree of warmth.

Diet and environmental chemicals cause 95% of cancers. Furthermore, as the first generation of man exposed to such an unprecedented plethora of daily chemicals, we have learned that stored chemicals can mimic any disease. "Incurable" chronic diseases that were thought to have no known cause often disappear once toxic chemicals are gone. Since the far infrared sauna is the safest, most efficacious and economical way of depurating stored toxins, this makes it a household necessity.

Temperature-regulation:

Setting-range: 100-140 degrees F at the maximum-level with the comfort.

Cooling: opening of the roof-vent, window, and/or door for the fresh-cool-air as you desire. For the setting and leaving of the thermostat at the maximum-position is for the sustaining of the FIR-benefits.

Fluids: Drink anti-oxidant, alkaline-water (Microwater &/or Coral-Calcium) prior and following the sauna, or fresh vegetable (or fruit) juice by an ionization-process (GreenPower). Minimize the fruits and fruit juices with any illness, unless you are doing the grape-cure (mono-diet of the organic-grapes).

Electrolytes:

Calcium (see combinations: Cal/Mag, Coral-Calcium and Structural-Integrity-Plus)

Magnesium (glycinate for the maximum-absorption, aspartate for the cell-delivery, taurate for the heart and retina)

Potassium (vegetables, fruits, Potassium-Aspartate for cell-delivery)

Sodium (bicarbonate of the soda: NaHCO3 as an alkaline-buffer)

Sulfur (MSM)

Biofield-Analysis is for the optimization of all detoxification-support-remedies.

Sweating: Bathing or showering prior may increase sweating. Use 2 or 3 towels: fold one as a sitting-cushion, place one on the floor for the sweat, and one on your lap for wiping of the sweat.

Therapy-localization: Emphasize the treatment-benefits for any area by holding it as close to one of the heaters as comfort allows, or use a FIR lamp or umbrella instrument.

Your body is intelligent and will inform you by sensations of comfort when you are exposed to beneficial levels of FIR, and discomfort with damaging levels. When utilizing FIR saunas for detoxification, weight-loss or other fitness benefits, as with other health programs such as fasting or exercise, it is always wise to stop at the onset of any discomfort. When following this guideline, I believe you will be able to walk the middle path of health benefits that lies between deficiency and excess for beneficial substances and energies such as FIR.

Negative Ion Bio Cleanse

The cleansing process is an amazing new method for detoxifying your entire body by bathing your feet in a warm water while using positive and negative ions from an ion generator.

The array element is the actual ion generator device that sits down into the water and creates the ion charge and flow within that solution. It attaches to the power supply, which controls the array element ion flow and change.

What Is Bio Cleanse?

It is an external detoxification method, which removes toxins through your feet. The body detoxifies while you are comfortably seated with your feet placed in a container of warm water. This is a very efficient way to remove toxic accumulations regardless of where they are located in the body.

Picture #1	Picture #2

Pictured here is the array element

The first picture was taken within 30 seconds before the process started. The second picture was taken at the
end of this standard 30 minutes procedure.

The Bio Cleanse Process generates a stream of positive and negative ions (charged atoms), which attract and attach themselves to oppositely charged toxic particles and draws them out of the body through the skin. Each session takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
