Surgery

If you’re planning to have surgery any time soon, this message is for you.

In the past, I've told you about pre-conditioning therapy with ozone. Pre-conditioning therapy with ozone refers to treating someone with ozone therapy for three weeks before they have any surgery.

I want to tell you about a case that happened to one of my patients. It’s so amazing that I’m sure you will find it hard to believe. I know her surgeons did.

Betty is an 89-year-old woman. She has a past history of heart disease, bladder cancer, and a stroke. She was currently on medications for an autoimmune condition called Giant Cell Arteritis.

And if that wasn’t enough, she came to see me two months ago with a newly diagnosed case of colon cancer. The cancer was a large one, about the size of an orange. But it had not spread and was limited to her colon. This is normally a pretty easy problem to deal with. All you have to do is cut that section of the colon out and the likelihood is great that you will have a complete cure. But there was just one problem with this plan.

None of her doctors thought she should have the surgery. After all she was 89 years old! Even if she did survive the surgery, there was still a good chance that her brain would be damaged by the anesthesia or she would die from some other complication. And the fact that she had a past history of heart disease and a stroke and was on immune-suppressive therapy didn’t help matters much either.

Every single one of her doctors said she should just call it a day and live with the cancer as long as it allowed her to. No one gave her any hope at all of a recovery. But Betty did not like that idea. Neither did her family. Here’s why.

Betty was not your normal 89-year-old woman. Even with all her problems, she was completely functional, feeling good, and very much alive. She wanted the surgery and she didn’t care about the risks. And that’s when she came to see me.

I told her that I was sure she would do well because I was going to pre-condition her with ozone therapy before she had the surgery. She asked me what that meant. So I explained to her that since ozone was the most powerful form of oxygen in the universe, it had remarkable rejuvenating properties in the human body. It not only stimulates the body to heal at a much faster rate, it also stimulates all of the protective systems of the body, including the detoxification system, the circulation system, and the immune system.

Then I told her about several animal studies. These studies showed that when animals receive pre-conditioning with ozone therapy, it was so successful at stimulating these systems that they were able to survive all kinds of challenges that would ordinarily have killed them. Challenges like poisons, trauma, heart attacks, and lethal infections. And then I told her, “I’ll show you what I mean.”

Besides the colon cancer, Betty had another complaint that was actually bothering her much more. Her shoulder hurt. She had injured it and it wasn’t healing. It was interfering with her regular activities and was also ruining her sleep. So right there on the first visit, I injected her shoulder with ozone using a technique called Prolozone. It took me all of five minutes to do it. And it took Betty all of five minutes to have the pain disappear. That convinced her of the power of ozone. So she and her family agreed to my pre-conditioning program. Here’s what we did.

First, I started Betty on a combination of ozone pre-conditioning, nutrient IVs, curcumin capsules, high-dose melatonin, a special anti-cancer diet, and medical marijuana. For those of you who think that medical marijuana is just a way for some people to get high, get that thought out of your head. Medical marijuana is the real thing, and is a powerful treatment for many medical conditions. I will be reporting to you very soon on this marvelous form of therapy.

Betty’s ozone pre-conditioning amounted to Major Autohemotherapy twice a week. Major Autohemotherapy involves removing some blood from the patient, immediately treating it with ozone, and then returning it to the patient. The procedure can be done in less than 45 minutes and is entirely safe. The idea was for Betty to stay on this program for three weeks before going in for the surgery. And here’s what happened to this young 89 year older.

An excited daughter called me up the day after Betty’s surgery. She told me even right up until the very day before the surgery Betty’s doctor had called her up pleading with her to not do it. “You will just end up in a nursing home,” he said. But that’s not what happened.

According to her daughter, Betty “breezed right through the surgery in only an hour and a half. She was able to come out of the recovery room hours before the doctors had expected. And she was not even asking for any pain medications. Her doctors were shocked.”

And then three days later, I heard again from the daughter. Betty was out of the hospital. She never had one complication. And in her daughter’s words, “She is phenomenally well!”

That’s the power of ozone therapy! In only three weeks, it had improved Betty’s healing capacity to that of a much younger and healthier woman. In addition to Betty’s story, I can also tell you that I have two surgeons who have come to my training seminars who routinely pre-condition their patients with ozone therapy.

I hear the same things from each of them. Their patients heal faster, require fewer medications, and virtually never have any complications.

So I do look forward to the day when everyone will be able to have three weeks of pre-conditioning ozone therapy before any surgery.

If you’re going to have surgery of any kind, my best advice to you is to find a doctor who can give you ozone pre-conditioning with MAH twice a week for three weeks before your surgery. You can find that doctor at the website of the American Academy of Ozonotherapy (www.aaot.us).

Yours for better health,
