Hydrogen Peroxide / Multiple Step Oxygen
WHAT IS BIO OXIDATION THERAPY
The chemical reaction involving oxygen is known as oxidation. Oxidation reactions can proceed slowly, such as metal rusting, or they can be rapid, such as fire burning. There can be no human life if oxidation reactions do not occur. Breathing oxygen is an oxidation process. In the body, some types of oxidation reactions are essential to life and health, while other are actually harmful. The body uses oxygen as a first line of defense against bacteria, viruses, yeast and parasites. Oxidation is also the process by which the body converts food into usable energy for work and growth. Free radicals, also known as toxic species of chemical oxygen, are now being investigated as the "final common biochemical pathway" in such diverse disease processes as cancer, heart attack and the aging process itself. When we use the principals of oxidation to bring about healing in the body it is called Bio Oxidative Therapy.
The intravenous use of hydrogen peroxide was first reported in the scientific literature in 1920. The use of hydrogen peroxide to generate oxygen in the body has been studied at many major medical research centers throughout the world, including the USA, Germany, England, Japan, Canada, Sweden, Russia and others. Between 50 and 100 new scientific articles are published each month about the chemical and biological effects of hydrogen peroxide. Dr. Charles H. Farr, first president of the American Board of Chelation Therapy and founder of the International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation (IBOM), received a nomination for the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1993 for his research with intravenous hydrogen peroxide. IBOM Foundation currently publishes a protocol for the safe and proper administration of intravenous hydrogen peroxide.
Scientists are discovering that Bio Oxidation is far more complex and important than had been previously recognized. There are many theories about the different functions of oxygen and hydrogen peroxide in the body. There is a great deal of scientific evidence to support almost every one of these theories. Using oxygen, hydrogen peroxide is produced in the body in different amounts for many purposes. It is part of a system that assists in the use of Oxygen for breathing. It is part of the system that helps to regulate all living cell membranes. It is a hormonal regulator, necessary for the body to produce such substances as estrogen, progesterone and thyroid hormones. It is important in the regulation of blood sugar and the production of energy in cells. It helps to regulate certain chemical compounds necessary for brain and nervous system function. It is used in the defense system to kill bacteria, viruses, yeast and parasites. Both oxygen and hydrogen peroxide have been found to be important in regulating the immune system.
Bio Oxidative Therapy using multiple step oxygen and intravenous hydrogen peroxide has been reported in the scientific literature and by physicians utilizing Bio Oxidation techniques in the treatment of the following conditions and diseases with varying degrees of success.

Hydrogen peroxide is administered as a very weak (0.0375% or lower) concentration of very pure ("medical grade") peroxide added to either sugar or salt water solution, the same as is used for intravenous feeding in hospitals. The hydrogen peroxide is then slowly infused into a vein in the arm over one to three hours. It is painless except for a very small needle prick. Treatments are given daily for acute illnesses such as the flu, or weekly for all other chronic medical conditions. From one to 20 treatments may be recommended, depending on the condition of the patient and the problem being treated.
Over the past 50 years hundreds of patients have received intravenous hydrogen peroxide and thousands have received multiple step oxygen therapy without serious side effects being reported using today's modern protocols. Earlier use of oxygen and hydrogen peroxide were noted occasionally to cause toxicity, including lung and eye effects and gas bubbles in the blood. These effects were reported with concentrations 100 to 150 times stronger than that used today. The IBOM protocol has eliminated most side effects of hydrogen peroxide today. Minor irritation of the vein at the infusion site is only occasionally found now, and this usually responds to adjusting the rate of infusion.
The expense of any therapy depends more on the type of illness being treated than the methods of therapy. More complicated illness requires more testing and treatment than do less ill patients. Much of today's high medical cost is in the testing required to maintain quality and legal standards rather than in the actual treatment itself. Please ask our certified staff if you have questions about cost.
"No matter how skillful one becomes, the great mysteries of Life will always hover just out of reach. One can never know all the answers. In the reality of everyday medical practice, no one can guarantee any clinical result... but I and my certified staff can and do promise to try to help each individual patient to the best of our abilities, by using all our knowledge, skill and compassion. Having been trained as a 'medical scientist,' I can bear witness to the simple fact that statistical science and individual reality do not share the same experience. The Quantitative 'eye' of the scientist perceives a different Reality than the Qualitative 'I' of the patient. And yet modern statistical science dismisses individual patient experience as 'anecdotal' and 'biased.' Such dangerous nonsense has caused much suffering and harm. Individual patient experience is the only true measure of the Quality of care. Relief of suffering, not statistical significance, is the patients real quest, their only quest... and the true physician's ultimate goal. I believe it was in Plato's Phaedrus that Socrate's ask's, 'do we really need anyone to tell us what is right?' Homeopathic Integrative medical practice provides the patient and practitioner with simple, non-toxic methods of treatment for relief of suffering... a natural union of clinical Art and Science... the true essence of medical service."
