Here are some links that have good information about ozone. I have spent hours, if not DAYS researching this. I still encourage anyone considering this to do their research and seek out what treatment they are comfortable with.

Still waiting...
Hello all,
I'm still waiting on my ozone generator. I ordered through my Naturopath from Longevity...be prepared if you're serious about ozone...my set up (including almost $300 to ship from Canada) is going to cost me about $3,000. A price I am more than willing to pay to rid myself of this virus. I will be loading up on vitamins also to supplement this protocol. Monthly treatment if you were to go to a clinic would run at least $3,000 to $4,000 per month!! I'm going to start buying lottery tickets!

I ordered the EXT 120.
The site for Longevity-you have to have a doctor order for you, they will be happy to provide you with information, but the actual order has to be done by a doctor.
Another thing, if you're planning on trying out any IV protocols, I just found out that Saul Pressman's Beta III generator does not go up to a high enough gamma to do these protocols. So it is worth spending the extra money to get one from Longevity. 55mcg or gamma is what is recommended for IV administration and Saul Pressman's only goes up to 50 gamma. Saul won't advocate IV anyway so it kinda all makes sense. I'm sure Saul's is plenty good enough to do insufflation, etc.
Here is another link you may find useful if you're just digging in to the wealth of information out there about ozone therapy....
http://www.o3center.org/Articles/SoYoureThinkingAboutTryingOzone.html
There are some good points in this article. One thing I've been kind of avoiding is the "lifestyle" change that is needed for a cure. I don't smoke, but I do drink alcohol socially a couple nights a week..maybe more. I'm going to try and cut down on that as well...
One more thing...I ordered some ozonated olive oil two days ago and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival. It is especially good for outbreaks although I sincerely hope the one I just had will be my last. It was a doozy. Google ozonated olive oil and see what you find..I plan on making my own once I pick up my generator, it comes with all the tools needed to make it. It's pretty expensive otherwise.

The Healing Crisis, Retracing, etc.
After some research, I believe what I'm going through my be the beginnings of a purging of sorts, or a cleansing/healing reaction. Here's some information on it:
http://www.falconblanco.com/health/crisis.htm
The Healing Crisis AKA: The Cleansing Reaction, The Detox Reaction, and The Herxheimer Reaction
What is it? Also known as the "Herxheimer Reaction", this reaction occurs when the body tries to eliminate toxins at a faster rate than they can be properly disposed of. The more toxic one's bodily systems are, the more severe the detoxification, or healing crisis. It is characterized by a temporary increase in symptoms during the cleansing or detox process which may be mild or severe. You may feel worse and therefore conclude that the treatment is not working. But these reactions are instead signs that the treatment is working and that your body is going through the process of cleaning itself of impurities, toxins and imbalances.
Such reactions are temporary and can occur immediately -- or within several days, or even several weeks, of a detox. Symptoms usually pass within 1-3 days, but on rare occasions can last several weeks. If you are suffering from a major illness, the symptoms you experience during the healing crisis may be identical to the disease itself. Sometimes discomfort during the healing crisis is of greater intensity than when you were developing the chronic disease. This may explain why there may be a brief flare-up in one's condition. Often the crisis will come after you feel your very best. Most people feel somewhat ill during the first few days of a cleanse because it is at that point that your body dumps toxins into the blood stream for elimination. With a more serious condition there may be many small crises to go through before the final one is possible. In any case, a cleansing & purifying process is underway, and stored wastes are in a free-flowing state.
Cause: The healing crisis is the result of every body-system, in concert, working to eliminate waste products through all elimination channels and set the stage for regeneration. The end result: old tissues are replaced with new. When any treatment or cleansing program causes a large scale die-off of bacteria, a significant amount of endotoxins (toxins within the bacteria itself) are released into the body. The more bacteria present, and the stronger their endotoxins, the stronger the cleansing reaction. When any treatment or detox causes the organs of the body (particularly the liver, which is a storehouse of drug and poison residues) to release their stored poisons and toxins, a cleansing reaction may occur. Any program, such as fasting, which causes a rapid breakdown of fat cells (which are a storehouse for toxins), can cause a healing crisis as toxins previously lodged in the fat cells are released into the blood stream.
Symptoms: The healing crisis will usually bring about past conditions in whatever order the body is capable of handling at that time. People often forget the diseases or injuries they have had in the past, but are usually reminded during the crisis. There are a wide variety of reactions that may manifest during a healing crisis, the most common are:
Increased joint or muscle pain
Diarrhea Extreme fatigue and/or its opposite, restlessness Cramps Headache (believed to be caused by buildup of toxins in the blood) Aches, Pains Arthritic flair up Insomnia Nausea Sinus congestion Fever (usually low grade) and/or chills Frequent urination and/or urinary tract discharges Drop in blood pressure Skin eruptions, including: boils, hives, and rashes. Cold or flu-like symptoms Strong emotions: anger, despair, sadness, fear, etc. Suppressed memories arise Anxiety Mood swings New phobias developEasing Your Way Through the Healing Crisis: Drink plenty of fresh water (especially water), juices, and herbal teas to flush the body of toxins. Some professionals recommend distilled water as the best. Drink from 2 to 4 quarts(liters) per day. This will help flush the toxins out of your system and speed along the detoxification.
If you are feeling fatigued, or sleepy, your body is talking to you, and telling you to rest. Be kind to yourself, and get the rest that you need.
Symptoms frequently disappear immediately after a good bowel movement, use an enema to provide relief.
For other symptoms, meditation, EFT, acupuncture or a good massage might be helpful to speed up the healing process, and reduce the discomfort.
And, on rare occasions, a reduction of the dosage or temporary cessation may be required.
If you Google "healing crisis" you will find all sorts of info. From what I've read, especially for chronic conditions, several episodes of crises can occur. I've heard many times that you often feel worse before you feel better! Icertainly hope that is the case with me.

Ozone insufflation
Just in case anyone is wondering about insufflating ozone, it's basically where you take a tube hooked up to a medical grade ozone generator (one which uses medical grade oxygen) and let the air flow into your body. Women have an advantage over men because it can be done vaginally. Men however, have to do it rectally which requires an enema before insufflation. The ozone oxygen mixture is absorbed into the tissues and distributed throughout the body.
A low flow rate is best when insufflating, 1/32L/min is what is recommended. It can be done for 30 minutes or so, whatever you can tolerate. In a recent email to Dr. Saul Pressman, I informed him I was insufflating for an hour each day. He said this was fine, but recommended I break it up into two 30 minute sessions.
More to come.

Outbreak of the century!
Well I'm writing to let everyone know that after about 12 days of consecutive ozone therapy I'm having one mother of an outbreak. Last time I did ozone was yesterday and am on hiatus while waiting for my machine to come in. I had the small one back in mid June but before then and since my primary...nothing!
So what I'm experiencing now is almost as bad as my primary. I will definitely say whatever I'm doing has pissed off this virus and it's fighting back.
Both ozone practitioners say you may experience a "dying off" or purging of the virus and that it fights back when threatened. I emailed Dr. Saul Pressman, an ozone expert, about my current condition:
Subject: Virus fighting back???
Hello Doctor Pressman,
I've been doing vaginal insufflation for an hour each day to eliminate HSV. Right now I'm having the worst outbreak since my primary one. Any thoughts?? Oh and the outbreak is in a spot Ive never had one before. Please advise.
Dear Faith,
This is the virus fighting back.It is a tenacious devil and will not go easily.You have to be more tenacious than it is,and in the end you will win.Take 2 Lysine (500 mg) every hour during a flare-up.Lysine inhibits its replication.
Best of Health!

Update
Nothing to update as of yet. Just purchased my own ozone generator from Longevity through my Naturopath in Oklahoma. Should be here in about a week. Nothing new to report other than that! Hope all is well with everyone.
