Every Sunday night we do an Inventory of Symptoms with her: all historical (and new, if any) symptoms, noting intensity and duration. It's been very helpful to see which direction the trend is going.

Since doing steam ozone therapy, the syx have diminished more every week. She's fully functional now, off diamox and ALL abx. Frankly, it is such a dramatic miracle that we keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and for the gains to stop, but they haven't.

This last week there was a significant breakthrough: her period snuck up on her and started with NO premenstrual nastiness whatsoever!

The ramp-up to her menses commencing has, up until this round, been awful and close to debilitating: bloating, bad skin breakouts, cramping, sluggishness, emotional ups and downs, the works.

This week her period came a few days early (it's been being late), with NO premenstrual symptoms of any sort. NONE. It was just there. It totally took her (and us) by surprise.

She steams 15 minutes a day. We had to dictate that she had to do it in the beginning, but after it put her back on her feet (and she knew that the ozone is what did it), we have not had to make her do it. She voluntarily does it on her own every night before going to bed as part of her routine.

I'm a Lymie too, and started it when she did. Got me off abx entirely and fully functional.

I do not represent this to be a "cure", as we both have some symptoms still, but getting oxygen into the bloodstream through skin transmission seems to be a mighty powerful way to drive Boris and Myrtle (as Thomas Parkman calls them) into early retirement or untimely death.

I am glad to read your daughter has had such a dramatic improvement.

Can you possibly tell me where one can get the equipment needed (name of, etc so I can call around possibly in the future to check if I can obtain these things) for this and a ballpark cost?

I hope the improvement is permanent, or that it can be maintained with the same routine over time.

Thanks for posting it. It is nice to hear the updates of things that are working, to know longer term results.

I bought a steam package from an O2 bar. I have only used one so far. I had planned to go many days in a row, but it is far from me. I got R tremor while in it, and then did oxygen after. I am hoping to go again soon, and do more in a row, to see how I feel. Especially good right now as I have a cold, bad one.

Please updating us, this is great.

is it possible that I herx from Ozone Sauna?

I did it yesterday evening for the first time and today feel very herxy.

It could also be the Zithro that I'm on, though but it seems stronger than usual.

Ozone is unstable oxygen, O3. It's more therapeutic than O2, if you can get it. But you don't want to breathe it as it damages lung tissue, and that's why it's a problem in air quality. But you can take it in through your skin.

Michael the rocket scientist (who told me about this) had me get 3 pieces of equipment: a steam sauna tent, an oxygen concentrator, and an ozone generator.

All of these items are available on ebay or elsewhere, new or used, and you can get all three of them for around $600, depending. For what this does for you, it is NOTHING in terms of cost.

You set it up this way: the steam sauna tent (go to ebay and put "steam sauna" in as your search parameter to see some choices) is a modern canvas version of the old hard-shell steam cabinets where your neck and head stick out.

You zip yourself in and the steampot on the outside pumps steam in, and you cook. This on it's own is good-- hypothermia kills bugs.

I have ours outside our bedroom on a porch, and we get a breeze sometimes (or I point an electric fan in the direction of the steamer's head).

Then, in the bedroom, the oxygen contentrator lives with the ozone generator (which is smaller) sitting on top of it. The output of the oxygen concentrator (which is pure oxygen) is fed through a plastic tube into the ozone generator. Now the ozone generator is making it's ozone not from ambient air, but from pure oxygen. The little machine that would have made poor quality O3 from ambient air is now producing high quality ozone.

With another plastic hose, you feed the pure ozone from the ozone maker into the tent (we just cut a tiny slit in the tent but you could just drop it down the neckhole).

Now you have something really powerful.

You steam, heat up the body, sweat and release toxins and waste, and your open pores suck in the O3. Remember, you are not breathing it. You stuff a towel around the neck opening as a seal. We do it 15 minutes a day.

Now, is this a cure??? Maybe, maybe not.

What Michael thinks is that once infected, unless you get on the abx right away and really whack it, you may not ever fully get rid of it. However, he thinks that you can drive it into its cystic state, and live life just fine. And when it does come out of it's cystic state, and finds itself in a hostile environment (an oxygenated and alkaline body), it cannot survive. Frankly, I'll take it.

You found one. ;-)

PMS is most def. a Mg deficiency symptom. Do a search with those words (PMS magnesium deficiency) to see for yourself.

Once the infection is down/eliminated, the body can begin to rebalance.

I take Mg Malate (per your instructions some time ago) +B6.

"Rebalance" is the word I was searching for. That's what I feel is happening with my daughter.

Since August of 2002 she's had a headache, mostly in the 7-8-9 range. Nothing touched it. We've tried every migraine and pain med known to womankind.

It started to come down with the ozone therapy.

This is a miracle for my family. My husband and I cried on the phone with each other, and here I am in a broadcast control room!

However I came up with a new device by accident that I think might be a "Direct blood ozonator". I was playing with a argon tube "Rife" device and liked to put my hand on the tube and watch the purple argon dance around in circles and then go to my hand.

Then I thought about connecting the high voltage to a copper plate and covering it with glass. That way it would hit all of my hand. Then I put my hand on the glass. I quickly learned to stand on 1/2 inch plexiglass while doing this, and do not touch anything with metal in it.

My health improved rapidly with no herx. My blood test improved so much that my doctor was amazed. Chloresterol dropped from 220 to 180, TSH from 4 to 1.8, etc.

Then later I read of how ozone is made. Metal plates are on both sides of a sheet of glass. High Voltage is then applied to the plates. Ozone comes off the glass. So I smelled my hand after using my device. Shure enough it smelled strongly of ozone!

The next morning I woke up with a terrible itching rash on the parts of my body that were exposed to the ozone. Only my head and bottom were spared. I thought it was an allergy and stopped the ozone sauna.

It took several days to heal and then I tried it again with shorter exposure time. Again I got the rash but less strong. Therefore, I diagnosed myself with "irritant contact dermatitis", which is not an allergy but can be compared with getting a sunburn, which is not the same as being allergic to sun. It's just too much of it.

But the experience with the rash scared and frustrated me and I stopped the ozone and just went on with steam sauna, alone.

Two days ago Orion sent me a mail with an interesting article she found. I copy here the most interesting part of it:

-----------------------
Carlos LeClair, a 73-year-old living in Florida, is convinced that ozone saunas eliminated his lyme disease symptoms when 24 months of antibiotics did not. Like many who use ozone saunas, he developed a rash. It is thought that the rash is part of a detox reaction, since continued use of ozone results in fading of the rash, according to Pressman. LeClair agrees. ``I am absolutely convinced that the itchiness and rash I experienced, mainly on my chest, was due to an interaction of the ozone with toxins in my body. The rash was gone after eight months of ozone saunas. When I had completed twelve months, twice a week, I decided to do a 30-minute sauna every day for ten days, just to make sure that I had finished off the lyme bug. By the sixth consecutive day of ozone saunas I woke up to find a 3-inch diameter bull's-eye rash over my left kidney.''

-----------------------------------

The whole article is very interesting but I don't have the link.

Orion: Maybe you can post it?

In any case I'm back on track now! Yesterday night I ozone-steamed for 10 minutes only and it was no problem. So, I'm planning to take it slowly and don't overdo it. For me (at least for the time being) it is too much to do it every day and too long.

Hope my experience will help some of you.

The bull's-eye rash is unique among rashes and diagnostic of lyme disease all by itself. In naturopathic parlance, this bull's-eye would be called `retracing'--an illness peels back symptomatically over time from the most recent to the oldest symptoms. Carlos LeClair considers himself well today: he has had no symptoms of lyme disease in the last two years.

You always get silicone tubing...or you should. The tent saunas that people make, definitely probably some of it degrades. But the ozone may outweigh that.

When I got my new sauna from Saul I couldn't stand the fiberglass smell (I'm chemically sensitive) so I gave it to a guy in NYC who has the same sauna but 2 years old. I wanted a totally outgassed sauna. So he got a new one, and I ended up with his old one! It was pretty funny if you saw us exchange our steam cabinets on the street it looked like it should be a Seinfeld episode.

I also use a tank--it's pretty easy to get an Rx for oxygen, and the flow rate on vaginal insufflation is 1/32nd liters a minute, and on sauna, 1/2. So it would take many months of daily saunas to use it up.

I should add, though, that most likely the rash is from the ozone. In most cases. I never did get a rash but I don't use the sauna all the time. Also, I'd shower after and put organic virgin coconut oil on my body (the kind you are supposed to cook with, really high quality). I think that is protective.
