Oxygen to the Rescue: Oxygen Therapies and How They Help Overcome Disease Promote Repair and Improve Overall Function

Throughout the world -- in China, Japan, Cuba, Canada, Russia, and more -- healing therapies using oxygen, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide are commonly used to treat a wide array of diseases, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, and arthritis. However, in the United States, where the mainstream medical community is dependent upon funding from the pharmaceutical industry for research and medical training, these highly effective and relatively inexpensive therapies have been largely ignored. Dr. Pavel Yutsis, medical director of the CAM Institute for Integrative Therapies, has been using these biooxidative techniques for more than twenty years, since beginning his career in his native Russia. In Oxygen to the Rescue, Dr. Yutsis explains the difference between oxygenation and oxidation, and describes the four main types of oxygen therapy -- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy, Ozone Therapy, and Photoluminescence, or Ultraviolet Irradiation of Blood (UVIB) -- and how these therapies are administered. Dr. Yutsis also discusses conventional uses versus experimental uses for each of these therapies. For example, HBOT is typically used by mainstream medicine to promote healing of burns and skin grafts, as well as to treat carbon dioxide poisoning and smoke inhalation. However, HBOT has healing potential beyond its conventional applications, such as in the treatment of stroke and vascular dementia. Oxygen to the Rescue provides both the findings of scientific research and anecdotal evidence demonstrating that these underused therapies deserve to be acknowledged among frontline medicine in the United States.…
