Mr. Ed McCabe is an investigative journalist and leading international author, speaker, and expert on the subject of oxygen therapies. His ongoing involvement with advanced healing modalities encompasses a span of over 25 years. He holds a degree in Educational Media from the University of Massachusetts, and he became expert on the subject of oxygen therapies since focusing solely upon them as a research journalist during 7 years of intensive study, investigation, experimentation, interviews, and travel. Although several oxygen therapies have been in use for over 100 years, Mr. McCabe is the only person to date who has undertaken a worldwide investigation and publication of their effectiveness. To do this, he interviewes thousands of patients and hundreds of doctors, and regularly visits many of the major oxygen therapy centers worldwide. Although oxygen therapies are stated by many experts to be highly effective, before Mr. McCabe's published works and his extensive lecturing, these therapies remained mostly unknown to the general public, and the professional organizations promoting them were in danger of floundering. The patents on most of the oxygen therapies had expired years ago, so there had been little interest by the pharmaceutical houses and the media in promoting them, and almost no advertising had been done to let people know of their existence. Ed McCabe has daily spent the last 7 years of his life actively changing this situation in order to lessen the all too common and unnecessary suffering of people with serious diseases. The legion of converts to these therapies grows daily, and the manufacturers and professional organizations surrounding them are now flourishing, in large part because of Mr. McCabe's focusing the public's attention on them. Mr. McCabe has publications, tapes, and videos which have over 40 distributors in seven countries, including the largest U.S. health book distributors. Now in its 40th printing, his bestselling classic book "Oxygen Therapies" was the first publication in history to detail all known ways of using special forms of oxygen to oxygenate the body. Now millions know that the use of oxygen therapies is of prime importance in order to maintain health and in the treatment of disease. Mr. McCabe writes a syndicated newspaper column and numerous national magazine articles appearing in "Aids Patient Care," "Health Freedom News," "Health Consciousness," "Explore!," and "New Perspectives" magazines. He has been a very popular guest on over 1,050+ radio and television stations and speaking platforms in the U.S., England, Scotland, Australia, Canada, Mexico, and New Zealand, including the U.S.'s "Morey Povich" national television talk show on April 21st, 1993, which devoted a whole show to the oxygen therapy work surrounding Mr. McCabe and his associates. Mr. McCabe is the Executive Director of The Foundation For The Advancement Of Oxygen Therapies, a not for profit public service organization. The Foundation is dedicated to oxygen therapies research, education, and the spreading of the good news about oxygen therapies through the media. Mr. Mccabe is also a recipient of The International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation's prestigious "Special Recognition" and "Distinguished Speaker Awards."

NIH TESTIMONY

Oxygen Therapies have been in use medically for over 100 years. The basis of the therapies is quite simple: Ultimately toxicity collects within the body over time. This buildup of toxicity can have physical, emotional, and behavioral co-factors which must also be addressed. The buildup of toxicity within the body invites the proliferation of anaerobic disease causing microorganisms. Oxygen therapies are used to flood the body with active forms of oxygen. When the body becomes safely saturated with these special forms of oxygen, it reaches a state of purity wherein the disease microorganisms are killed, and the underlying toxicity is oxidized and eliminated. The patient's immune system must then be rebuilt with vitamin, mineral, and if needed, behavioral modification and other therapies. In this way diseases like AIDS, cancer and multiple sclerosis are being eliminated or at least controlled. Ozone therapy is one of the oxygen therapies. Over 5,000 medical ozone generators have been sold in Europe and are presently in use by as many doctors worldwide. Specific concentrations and volumes of ozone gas made from pure oxygen are readily applied to the body through intravenous infusions without any harm, usually during a minimum standard treatment schedule of 21 days in a row. The ozone breaks down into various oxygen subspecies which contact anaerobic viruses, microbes, or diseased cells and oxidize them while leaving the normal healthy cells alone. The standard 21 day minimum treatment requirement is being challenged by recent developments, notably in the field of ozone equipment and other protocol refinements. Ozone therapy was used medically by Nikola Tesla in 1900. It has been in continual use for over 50 years in the U.S., but due to our legal pressures, ozone is presently only widely used in Europe. When the proper protocols are followed, ozone has been proven highly effective in the treatment - and possibly the elimination - of over 40 common diseases. There are about 300 doctors in the U. S. daily using some form of oxygen therapies today. Ozone therapies are among the safest therapies ever used. One European study of over 5.5 million treatments showed a side effect rate of .0007%, probably among the lowest of any therapy known. Side effects like fever and weakness are minor and temporary. M.D.'s characterize ozone as "blatantly non-toxic." I have kept in continual contact with 6 U.S. MD's who, independent of each other, have collectively reported bringing over 300 AIDS patients to HIV negative status, including complete eradication of any secondary disease factors such as energy loss, weight loss, diarrhea, etc. I have also interviewed many AIDS patients who have been getting ozone therapy on their own, and all those who followed good protocols reported an immediate increase in energy, weight gain, and T cell stabilization or increase in a few weeks. The most notable of the ozone physicians to date is Dr. James Boyce, who brought 237 AIDS patients to health, each within 30 days. His results were verified by major independent lab testing before and after. Like most doctors in our country who have bravely tried to help their patients with ozone therapy, Dr. Boyce has subsequently been attacked by several government agencies trying to put him out of business. Therefore, he cannot appear here today due to the advice of his attorneys. However, he has expressed a desire to work with the committee in the future. While our country reels from the impact of AIDS, this physician, who has the best documented track record in the country of treating and perhaps even eliminating AIDS, now spends his days farming instead of practicing the medicine he was so proficient at.

Another typical modern case is that of Dr. John Pittman from Raleigh, North Carolina. He started using ozone in 1991 with excellent results, but had his research project cut short when local physicians who never heard of ozone - and didn't bother to find out anything about it - turned him into the state medical board which asked him to stop using ozone, since it is not FDA approved. Dr. Pittman is also hopeful of continuing his research. The Medizone company of New York, which holds a patent on blood ozonation, has continually been on file with the FDA asking for permission to begin ozone trials on AIDS patients since 1986. For six years in a row, the FDA has told them to "go back and do even more flawless ozone animal studies." This is in spite of the fact that ozone therapy has been used safely on humans for over 50 years. Safety of application or effectiveness is not questionable among the physicians who have personally used ozone daily for 30 years on humans. Medizone and others are ready to begin strictly designed and monitored human trials. And, like many U.S. physicians I have interviewed, would have commenced clinical trials six years ago - if not for the FDA preventing it. The biggest problem is that in 1976 the FDA declared ozone a "toxic gas with no medical uses" via publication in the Federal Register. I have written that: "Printing this statement in a publication paid for with our taxes is either a blatant attempt at suppression of truth from the highest levels, or one of the poorest research jobs ever done. It obviously favors competitive drug therapies, and ignores well over 50 years of safe and effective medical use on hundreds of thousands of humans - backed up with medical references and clinical studies in Switzerland, Italy, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and the U. S." Although legally, ozone is believed by some to be "grandfathered" since its use in U.S. medicine predates the existence of the FDA itself, no one has tested this position in court. So the FDA - and the state medical agencies and boards that take their lead from the FDA - are actively persecuting any physician using ozone. Under these prevailing "siege" type conditions I could get none of the U.S. doctors who have achieved great successes with ozone therapy to come here today. When asked to appear, the doctors all reacted in fear of the government, fear of the loss of their licenses, and fear of being raided and cleaned out by SWAT teams in the same way that Dr. Jonathan Wright was treated most recently. Upon inquiry, I commonly heard: "I'm not ready to appear." "Don't mention my name!" "The doctor already fled the country." "I'm scared to death they'll take away my license." On the bright side, if immunity from state, and federal, and agency, and medical board prosecution could be assured, these humanitarian doctors would gladly make available their knowledge for the public good. I stand ready to do the same, and submit to you the attached chronological history of U.S. medical ozone therapy to date. Conclusion Due to the many interviews I have conducted, It is my opinion that the AIDS problem has been solved. If we can get ozone doctors both immunity from prosecution and funding for clinical trials, within 90 days the only thing left to do would be to implement the existing solution.
