The History of Medical Ozone - Chronological Story of Ozone by Dr. Saul Pressman
Ozone was first discovered and named by German scientist C.F. Schonbein in 1840.
The first ozone generators were developed by Werner von Siemens in Germany in 1857. The first report of ozone being used to purify blood in test tubes was by the German Dr. C. Lender in 1870.
The first American therapeutic use of ozone was by Dr. John H. Kellogg in ozone steam saunas at his Battle Creek, Michigan sanitarium from 1880, as he wrote in his book, " Diphtheria: Its Nature, Causes, Prevention and Treatment".
In October 1893, the world's first water treatment plant using ozone was installed in Ousbaden, Holland, and today there are over 3000 municipalities around the world that use ozone to clean their water and sewage, including all the great cities.
In 1885, the Florida Medical Association published "Ozone" by Dr. Charles J. Kenworthy, MD, detailing the use of ozone for therapeutic purposes.
In September 1896, the electrical genius Nikola Tesla patented his first ozone generator, and in 1900 he formed the Tesla Ozone Co. Tesla sold ozone machines and ozonated olive oil to doctors for medical use.
In 1898, the Institute for Oxygen Therapy Healing was started in Berlin by Thauerkauf and Luth. They experimented with injecting ozone. Ozone was bonded to magnesium in a catalytic process to produce Homozon by Dr. Eugene Blass in 1898. Beginning in 1898, Dr. Benedict Lust, a German doctor practicing in New York, established the practice of Naturopathy, based on ozone therapy.
Also in 1898, homeopathic Dr. S.R. Beckwith, of New York, published his booklet describing the use of his invention, the Thermo-Ozone Generator, in the treatment of a wide variety of diseases.
In 1902, J.H. Clarke's "A Dictionary of Practical Materia Medica", London, describes the successful use of ozonated water ("Oxygenium") in treating anemia, cancer, diabetes, influenza, morphine poisoning, canker sores, strychnine poisoning and whooping cough.
In 1902, Dr. Charles Linder, MD, of Spokane, Washington was written up in an article in a local paper that stated that he injected ozone as part of his standard medical practice.
In 1904, "The Medical Uses of
Hydrozone(ozonated water) and Glycozone(ozonated olive oil) by Charles Marchand,
a New York chemist appeared in its 19th edition.The book is in the Library of Congress with the US Surgeon
General's stamp of approval on it.
This
active use of therapeutic ozone predates the establishment of the FDA in 1906
and therefore qualifies ozone therapy to be grandfathered into acceptance.
In 1911,
"A Working Manual of High Frequency Currents" was published by Dr. Noble
Eberhart, MD, the head of the Dept. of Physiologic Therapeutics at Loyola
University, Chicago. In Chapter 9, he details the use of ozone to treat
tuberculosis, anemia, chlorosis, tinnitus, whooping cough, asthma, bronchitis,
hay fever, insomnia, pneumonia, diabetes, gout and syphilis.
In 1912,
Dr. H.C. Bennett published "Electro-Therapeutic Guide". He described the use
of Ozol, ozone breathed after running through eucalyptus, pine or thyme oils.
In 1913,
the Eastern Association for Oxygen Therapy was formed by Dr. Eugene Blass and
some German associates.
During
World War I, (1914-1918 ) ozone was used to treat wounds, trench foot,
gangrene and the effects of poison gas.
Dr. Albert
Wolff of Berlin also used ozone for colon cancer, cervical cancer and
decubitus ulcers in 1915.
In 1920,
Dr. Charles Neiswanger, MD, President of the Chicago Hospital College of
Medicine published "Electro Therapeutical Practice". Chapter 32 was entitle
"Ozone as a Therapeutic Agent".
In the
1920s, Nikola Tesla allowed licensed production of an ozone air purifier in
Canada, based on his cold plasma design.
In 1926,
Dr. Otto Warburg of the Kaiser Institute in Berlin announced that he had found
that the cause of cancer is a lack of oxygen at the cellular level. For his
discovery, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1931 and again in
1944, the only person ever to receive two Nobel Prizes for medicine. He was
also nominated for a third.
In 1929, a
book called "Ozone and Its Therapeutic Action" was published in the US listing
114 diseases and how to treat them with ozone. Its 40 authors were the heads
of all the leading American hospitals.
In 1930,
the Swiss dentist Dr. E. A. Fisch was using ozone in dentistry, and wrote many
papers on it. He also introduced it to the Austrian surgeon Dr. Erwin Payr in
1932.
[In 1933,
the American Medical Association, headed up by Morris Fishbein, set out to
eliminate all medical treatments that were competitive to drug therapy. The
suppression of ozone therapy in the US began then, and continues to this day,
except in ten US states, where doctors are protected by state laws. At the
behest of the AMA, the FDA began seizing generators in the 1940s.]
In 1935,
M. Sourdeau published a paper on "Ozone in Therapy" in France.
Dr.
Aubourg and Dr. Lacoste were French physicians using ozone insufflation
1934-1938. Aubourg wrote "Medical Ozone: Production, Dosage and Methods of
Clinical Application" in 1938. He gave ozone rectally, vaginally, injected
into wounds and by breathing. In 8000 applications, there were no harmful side
effects.
Dr. Hans
Wolff wrote the book "Medical Ozone" in the 1940s.
In 1942,
"Gordon Detoxification and Hydro Surgery: Theory and Practice" was published
covering the medical uses of ozone as colon cleanser.
During
World War II, Dr. Robert Mayer learned of ozone therapy from German prisoners
of war at Ellis Island, and used ozone in his practice for the next 45 years.
In 1944,
Dr. Otto Warburg earned his second Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery
of the basic cause of cancer in damaged cell respiration.
In 1948,
Dr. William Turska of Oregon began using an ozone machine of his own design (Aethozone).
In 1951, Dr. Turska wrote the article "Oxidation", still appropriate today.
In 1952, the National Cancer Institute verified
Dr. Otto Warburg 's findings regarding
lack of oxygen being the cause of cancer.
From 1953,
German Dr. Hans Wolff began training many doctors in ozone therapy. In 1954,
Frank Totney published "Oxygen : Master of Cancer".
In 1956,
Dr. Otto Warburg published "On the Origin of Cancer Cells" in Science, 24
February 1956, Vol. 123, Num. 3191.
In 1957,
Dr. J. Hansler patented an ozone generator which has formed the basis of the
expansion in German ozone therapy over the last 40 years. Today, over 8000
German doctors use ozone therapy daily.
In 1961,
the Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology stated: "During the 80 year history of
the large scale usage of ozone, there has never been a human death attributed
to it".
In 1961,
Dr. Hans Wolff introduced the techniques of major and minor autohemotherapy.
In 1966,
Dr. Otto Warburg, now director of the Max Planck Institute for Cell
Physiology, delivered a lecture on "The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer"
to a meeting of Nobel laureates at Lake Constance, Germany.
In 1971,
Dr. Hans Wolff and Prof. Dr. Siegfried Rilling founded The German Medical
Society for Ozone Therapy.
In 1972,
The International Association for Oxygen Therapy was founded by Dr. George Freibott as the successor to the Eastern Association for Oxygen Therapy of
1913. In 1977, Dr. Renate Viebahn provided an overview of ozone's biological
action. In 1979, Dr. George Freibott successfully treated a Haitian AIDS
patient suffering Kaposi's sarcoma with ozone.
In 1980,
Dr. Horst Kief also reported success with ozone therapy for AIDS patients.
In 1980,
F. Sweet, et al, publish "Ozone Selectively Inhibits Human Cancer Cell Growth"
in the peer-reviewed journal, Science, Vol. 209.
In 1982,
the German medical textbook "Medical Ozone" is published by Dr. E. Fischer
Medical Publications in Heidelberg.
In 1983,
the first International Ozone Association medical ozone conference was held,
in Washington, D.C., USA. The abstracts were published in the book "Medical
Applications of Ozone", compiled and edited by Julius Laraus.
In 1985,
Dr. Renate Viebahn published "The Biochemical Process Underlying Ozone
Therapy". Dr. Siegfried Rilling published "Basic Clinical Applications of
Ozone Therapy".

of " The Use of Ozone in Medicine", now the standard medical text on ozone
application.
In 1990,
the Cubans reported success in treating glaucoma, conjunctivitis and retinitis
pigmentosa with ozone.
In 1992,
the Russians reported the successful use of ozone in a brine bath to treat
burns.
In June
1994, Plasmafire Intl sponsored an ozone symposium in Vancouver Canada, with 160
attendees, and as a direct result, ozone therapy is recognized as an accepted
modality by the Naturopathic Association of BC, with over 40 naturopaths
treating patients with ozone therapy currently.
In 1994 Ed McCabe's book, "Oxygen Therapies," and
in 2004 "Flood your body with Oxygen" are published under rave reviews
bringing Oxidative Therapies to the mainstream acknowledgement.
Today,
after 125 years of usage, ozone therapy is recognized in Germany, Italy,
