William
F. Koch, Ph.D., M.D.
Most internet sources with information about Dr. Koch appear to have strived for accuracy in an effort to bring Dr. Koch's theories to the scientific community in order to improve the well-being of mankind. My own naturopathic physician, the late, internationally-known Dr. Harold Dick, N.D. of Spokane, Washington, witnessed this homeopathic treatment administered by injection to a cancer patient by the medical doctor whose clinic he took over. I believe they had to order it from Dr. Koch's clinic in South America.
He told me personally that it was the "quickest damn cancer cure" he had ever seen. He explained that it induces oxidation and a high fever that eradicates cancer, just as one's own immune system is potentially capable of doing by the use of fever when it is allowed to function properly rather than being suppressed by the use of palliative (but not curative) allopathic drugs. In fact, in the immune arsenal, FEVER is it's most powerful weapon. It can "cook" heat-sensitive cancer cells, speed up metabolism to aid the healing and cleansing process, kill microbes, etc.
Just by coincidence, I also met a Dr. E.A. Rado in Grandview, Washington, who was on a government panel that investigated Glyoxylide as a cancer treatment in the 1940's or 50's. He insisted it was nothing but a hoax--a water injection, or something of the sort, which is what a chemical analysis of any homeopathic remedy would have appeared to be over 50 years ago, before more sensitive chemical analysis was available. Homeopathic solutions are made increasingly potent by a process which appears to dilute the material until there is nothing of the original source left, when in fact the process reportedly releases the energy from the source, which makes its affects far more powerful. (Just as splitting the atom creates energy.)
According to Dr. Harold Dick, N.D., one single death on record was attributed to the use of Glyoxylide. A man reportedly died as a result of, or during the course of the high fever the remedy provokes, and on that basis, Dr. Koch's remedy was banned in the United States and he virtually went into exile in South America. Interestingly, the yearly deaths attributed to "iatrogenic diseases" (doctor-caused) outnumber the total casualties of the VietNam war, not to mention that the "cure" rate for conventional cancer treatments is less than 5%.
The following information covers over 50 years of research by Dr. Koch, who claimed to have discovered the most basic cause, or underlying factor of all physical disease. Some claim he laid the foundation for "the birth of a new science."
Dr. Koch reportedly left full documentation that explained the chemical processes needed to reverse a disease condition. His main focus involved the oxidation mechanism of the body, and how to restore it. Since cancer cells are known to be anaerobic, meaning they don't use oxygen like normal cells, then obviously this disease involves oxidation processes, or the lack thereof. He believed that once this body function was restored to it's original state of vitality, that the immune system would be newly equipped to once again bring the body back to a state of health, and to maintain it, not only in cancer but in other diseases.
According to an internet
biography of Dr. Koch, "This research led to Dr. Koch’s development
of several synthetic antitoxins: Glyoxylide, Malonide and PBQ. These catalysts
became the stimulant necessary to achieve the oxidative separation of
the ‘host cell/pathogen integration,’ when the pathogen was
a virus, a carcinogen, a bacterial toxin or an incompletely burned tissue
metabolite. Dr. Koch successfully defined the position of the activated
amine group, the free radical, the double bond, and the Carbonyl group
in pathogenesis and in its correction."
According to the biographical information, as early as 1919, Dr. Koch
had already run afoul of "conventional medicine" with his discoveries
and theories. Even at that time, the profession was investing huge sums
in the creation of radiation and surgery (the "cut" and "burn"
treatments) as the supposedly most effective cancer treatments, and Dr.
Koch became a threatening entity, just as today efforts by the medical
establishment to suppress all but "conventional treatments"--meaning
those that generate profit for organized medicine--overwhelm most efforts
to find or publicize more effective and less dangerous treatment alternatives.
History records that the so-called "medical authorities" or "powers-that-be" in the industry spent 50 years attempting to discredit Dr. Koch and anyone who had the courage to support his theories or use his reagents, and with the unlimited resources and power of these people, few such individuals or reputations survive such a targeted onslaught. The same thing happened to the brilliant French scientist Dr. Antoine Beachamp, whose discoveries were stolen and then ineptly and erroneously interpreted by lesser scientist Louis Pasteur--a powerful force in medicine due to his own self-aggrandizement--who destroyed Beachamp's reputation to keep him quiet.
The proponents of
Dr. Koch claim that "Organized Medicine developed an extensive propaganda
campaign, disseminated false information on Reagent chemistry and publicly
dismissed the Koch Theories, which emphasized the relationship between
environmental toxins, dietary deficiencies and a depleted oxidation mechanism,
as primary initiators of the disease process."
Also, "Because Dr. Koch endured such extensive persecution in regard
to his science, he determined that the medical/pharmacological industry
would forever remain unwilling to independently monitor, document or validate
any of his ongoing laboratory research or medical case histories; therefore
since his death, December 9, 1967, there have been no authentic Koch Reagents
reproduced. It was because of the scurrilous intentions held by the medical/pharmacological
industry that Dr. Koch intentionally withheld specific knowledge required
in the production of viable Koch Reagents. (Therefore, any claims to the
contrary should be viewed as suspect.)"
From another
internet source:
Dr Koch and Glyoxylide/Malonide
These days polio is a virtually unheard of disease in America. But there
was a time when it was devastating and greatly feared. In August 1949,
19-year-old Mary Lou Barnes’ leg gave way. The next day the leg
became paralyzed and their doctor, Harold Wilson, told them it was Polio.
Wilson injected Mary with 2cc of Glyoxylide. The next day sensation returned
to Mary’s leg and that evening she came down to dinner. The news
of Mary’s startling recovery immediately made headline news across
the country. This was the first time Wilson had used Glyoxylide and he
asked city hospital authorities if he could try it on more Polio cases.
Permission was denied. The AMA had blacklisted the drug. In December 1952
the local branch of the AMA expelled Wilson from membership thereby denying
him hospital privileges. It didn’t matter that Dr. Wilson had done
his job and saved Mary from at least severe physical problems, probably
paralysis. What was important to the AMA was that he had done it using
a drug unapproved by them.
Glyoxylide/Malonide was developed by Dr. William Koch (pronounced “Coke”).
Koch (1885-1967) received his BA, MA and PhD (Biochemistry) all from the
University of Michigan. In 1914 he became professor of physiology at the
Detroit College of Medicine where he earned his MD in 1918.
Koch noticed that cancer and other diseases broke down the body's oxidation system; if there was healthy oxidation in the body there was no disease. Koch decided to develop a non-destructive cancer therapy that would work with the body’s natural chemistry. He found that heart and brain tissue was particularly resistant to oxygen starvation. He identified carbonyl compounds as being responsible for producing energy and was vital to the body’s oxidation process.
Now it was time to
test his theory, and in 1917 he was given his chance. A woman in late
stages of metastasized liver cancer in a Detroit hospital was only expected
to live a week. Koch gave her a carbonyl-rich extract of heart and brain
tissue. When visiting the following week, Koch found the hospital bed
empty and assumed she had died. The following June, however, Koch was
astounded to bump into the woman on the street who gave him a big hug.
The woman said she’d asked after him, but the hospital had lied
and told her he went off to work for the U.S. Army.
After Koch wrote an article about this in the Detroit Medical Journal
an AMA representative came to visit. He asked for all rights to the treatment
as well as all the research and methodology of creating it. Not surprisingly,
Koch refused. A couple of months later Koch was denounced as a quack in
the Journal of American Medicine (JAMA).
Koch soon developed a method of creating oxygen rich carbonyls synthetically
that was far cheaper and easier than the complex heart and brain tissue
extract. They were called Glyoxylide and Malonide. A simple explanation
of Koch’s treatment is that it kick starts the body’s oxidation
system.
In 1919 Koch requested the Wayne County Medical Society to appoint a committee
to test his treatment in five terminal cancer cases. The committee chose
five “stretcher” cases, all at death's door. Koch treated
them and in three weeks they were all up and about, cheerful and gaining
strength. The committee immediately ordered them all home and “forbade
them any more care from Koch.” (p 55). The committee’s final
report was "no results."
Koch wrote about one of the patients’ recoveries in his 1955 book, “Survival Factor.” “Mrs. Edith Fritts had cancer of the uterus proven by laporotomy as extending throughout the abdomen and perforating the stomach so as to cause severe bleeding. She lived fifteen years in good health after the treatment and died from an accident. The coroner’s autopsy showed no cancer was present…” Koch had given Edith one shot of Glyoxylide. "(p55.)
In 1923 Koch appealed
to the committee to change its false report made in 1919. They refused.
Dr. Dewey M.D., a professor of homeopathy at the University of Michigan
had observed the Cancer Committee’s official review and wrote to
Koch on October 25, 1924.
“I have received what is termed the latest report on your treatment.
This claims to be an account of the séance held on Nov. 5, 1923,
at which I was present and took notes of each case. For a studied intent
to falsify, a premeditated determination to condemn everything, and an
unscientific, un-American assumption to be judge, jury, and prosecuting
witnesses, the report of this so-called committee outstrips in bias, unfairness,
and mendacity anything that has ever been my lot to observe in a medical
practice of forty-two years.”( p56/57.)
The letter concludes “I hope that some day your treatment will have
an investigation before a body of seekers after the truth. These you will
not find in American official medicine, which is a trust to keep all progress
not coming from it’s own out of the field.”
Incredibly, during 30 some years of Koch’s therapy being used in
the U.S., the Wayne County Medical Society’s “trial”
is the only official test ever carried out despite repeated requests from
Koch.
Dr. C. Everett Field of the Radium Institute of New York reviewed the
Institute’s October 1923’s “Investigation of Thirty-Four
Koch Cases”. Field wrote, “The exhibit without doubt formed
the most remarkable experience of my medical career.” (p57) Field
spent many years documenting and publishing the results of many of Koch’s
cases. Field was also reprimanded by the AMA for supporting Koch and suffered
as a result.
In 1935 Koch went
to Belgium at the invitation of Dr. Maisin, who was a world-renowned cancer
expert. Six weeks later a group of powerful American doctors came to Belgium
and tried to convince Maisin that Koch was a fraud. But Maisin was only
interested in the truth and told them, “I am convinced it is scientifically
sound and clinically efficient.” (p63) The motive for the Americans'
visit was that one of them had large investments in radium and did not
want competition from Koch’s treatment. Dr. Arnott was acquainted
with Maisin and told the Ontario Cancer Commission (1939) what Maisin
had told him. (p64) "Dr. Koch’s formula is a new method for
treating disease. The Koch formula should not be called merely a cure
for cancer. It is a very important step and is likely to change the whole
picture of medicine and pathology because of the clinical results."
In January, 1943, Koch was in court fighting the first of two trials brought
by the FDA for supposed labeling fraud . It is in large part because of
these two trials that we know how effective and how much evidence there
was to support Glyoxylide’s effectiveness. Koch organized a large
amount of case histories with biopsies and patient testimonials.
The Koch lawyers presented hard evidence of cures of cancer of the bone,
uterus, stomach, liver, spleen, pancreas, ….,breast…as well
as cures of TB, polio, asthma, heart thrombosis, leprosy, hyperthropic
arthritis.
The government lawyers presented various experts who admitted they had
no experience with the Koch therapies. Still, they testified, Glyoxylide
and Malonide could not be effective “in their opinion.” (p71-72)
One particular case was Wesley Roebuck, who had surgery in 1926 for cancer
of the stomach. The disease returned so he went to Koch and received a
shot of Glyoxylide. The cancer cleared up and he testified at Koch’s
trial over 14 years later and cancer free.
In the first trial,
two newspapers closely followed the proceedings, the “Detroit Times”
and the “Detroit Free Press.” Headlines taken from court testimony
read, (p72) "Three Cancer Cures Put in Record at the Koch Trial…Hospital
Executive gives Case Histories as Defense Witness…Doctor Testifies
Koch Formula Aided 16 Cases…Cancer Doctor Says Koch Cure Replaced
X-Rays."
Even though Koch provided vast amounts of evidence that his treatment
worked, it was a hung Jury. The country was at war. Americans found it
difficult to believe the government would suppress an effective cancer
treatment. Koch’s second trial in 1946 was declared a mistrial.
Dr. Albert Wahl of Mt. Vision, NY, is an interesting example of how people
can change dogmatic opinions when they investigate, or are forced to face
the facts for themselves. For years Wahl dismissed Koch’s treatment
as worthless, basing his opinion on JAMA misinformation. His sister became
ill with cancer and his father took her to Koch, over Wahl’s objections.
“She promptly recovered in characteristic fashion” (p81) Wahl
wrote in his 1947 book “Least Common Denominator,” in which
he documented 150 cures he had observed using the Koch treatment. Wahl
said of the Koch treatment, “The most startling element is the utter
simplicity of the Koch treatments… After using them, I felt I’d
never practiced medicine before.” (p81/82)
Fearing further government harassment and possible further trials that
he could not afford to defend against, Koch left the U.S. in 1948 never
to return. He died in 1967 and with him went Glyoxylide.

"(Hyderabaad, May 28)
INDIAN CANCER RESEARCHERS have taken a giant step on the road to discovering
the ultimate cancer cure by developing a drug that selectively targets
the cancer cells without harming the healthy ones.
Researchers in Calcutta claim that patients in "very advanced stages"
of cancer for whom all other treatments had failed have been brought back
to "excellent" health with the help of a drug formulation they
have developed after research spanning more than a decade.
"We have what we think magic bullet against cancer," says Manju
Ray, a biochemist at the Indian Association of the Cultivation of Science
(IACS) where the drug was developed under a project funded by the Department
of Science and Technology and the Council of Scientific and Industrial
Research.
Most currently available anti-cancer drugs are toxic because they also
damage the normal cells. Ray says the IACS formulation, containing "Methylglyoxal"
as the lead ingredient, combats only the diseased cells, the cherished
goal of cancer researchers worldwide. Methylglyoxal is a metabolite in
the human body produced during glucose breakdown.
Others involved in the project are Swapna Ghosh of IACS, Manoj Kar and
Subhankar Ray of the University College of Science, and Santajit Datta,
a medical practitioner. Results of human trial conducted by them with
the new drug have recently appeared in the Indian Journal of Physics.
While Americans are going ga-ga with their new anti-cancer drug "Glivec"
- that was featured on the cover of May 28 issue of Time magazine - the
low-profile, cash-strapped Kolkata researchers have been working quietly
for over a decade shunning publicity until they obtained proof from human
trials nine weeks ago. According to their published paper, the Methylglyoxal-based
formulation had "a dramatic positive effect on the patients".
For instance, the condition of 11 out of the 19 patients treated - most
of them in a very advanced stage when the treatment began -- are now stated
to be in "excellent physical condition". Five are in stable
condition and only three died during the course of the study. Since the
submission of the paper, the number of patients treated has crossed the
40 mark with more than 70 percent success, according to Manju Ray.
The most remarkable fact, according to the scientists, was that Methylglyoxal
was successful against different types of cancer, unlike "Glivec,"
which targets only the chronic myeloid leukemia.
Those whose health returned to "excellent" condition after treatment
with Methylglyoxal included patients in "a very advanced stages"
of colon cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and cancers
of ovary, breast, liver, lung, bone, gall bladder, pancreas and oral cavity.
The patients were inducted for the trial, from January to June 2000, after
obtaining permission from the Drug Controller General of India, the scientists
said. The drug was administered orally for about six months with gradual
reduction of daily dosage from the initial 25 milligrams per kilogram
of body weight.
Researchers said development of the drug was preceded by years of basic
research involving human cancer cells in culture and animal experiments
that showed that Methylglyoxal selectively killed the cancer cells without
affecting normal cells by exploiting "a very significant" biochemical
difference between the two.
Explaining the mechanism of action, the scientists said cancer cells required
a large amount of energy providing substance called ATP (Adenosine-5-Triphosphate)
for survival.
"Methylglyoxal inactivates the enzyme (Glyceraldehyde-3- Phosphate
Dehydrogenase) needed for ATP production in cancer cells and thereby starves
them to death. Normal cells remain unaffected."
Manju ray said that chemists knew the Methylglyoxal molecule for about
four decades and its anti-cancer effects in animals had also been studied.
"But surprisingly, no one bothered to initiate further research leading
to human trials," she said.
The researchers said concern in some quarters about the safety of Methylglyoxal
were not borne out from the clinical trials, which showed that in combination
with protective agents like Ascorbic Acid and vitamins, the drug Methylglyoxal
had no major toxic effect. They said there was scope for further enhancing
the drug's efficacy.

In Healing." All quotes have a bracketed page number by them.

VITAMIN "O"--Blood Oxygenation
The following is a review and advertisement from the Health & Beauty website: http://www.healthnbeauty.com/vito.htm (this site has changed) However, since this is an oxygenating product which mentions Dr. Koch's work, it seemed appropriate to add here for informational purposes. If anyone chooses to use this product, I hope they will provide us with an anecdotal report.
The long-awaited clinical double-blind
study by Dr. John Heinerman on "Vitamin O" is now available.
Read below.
P.S. You may have read or heard that "Vitamin O" is nothing
more than salt water, but this study PROVES it raises oxygen levels in
the blood!
Hello Everyone!
As you know I try many new and unusual health and beauty products daily. Once in a while I will run across something that I feel is more of a "Hit" than "Hype".
I had that happen with a product called "Vitamin O". This is a product I knew I had to try because I am a firm believer in the wonderful benefits of oxygen to the body. This is why I promote the deep breathing plan so much.
Oxygen treatments have been used for years by M.D.'s to heal skin after surgery. And after researchers proved that oxygen restored life to aging skin, cosmetic companies jumped on the bandwagon and insisted on oxygen infusion in their products.
There is much talk about oxygen these days. Celebrities are raving about it and there are even Oxygen Bars popping up all over Los Angeles to cater to those that are hooked on its' benefits. I saw Kirstie Alley recently on a late night talk show swearing it made her look younger.
Demi Moore and Kim Basinger are said to be "hooked" on an oxygen rich, age defying line created by former model Karin Herzog. Celebs like Wynona Ryder and Uma Thurman swear by 20 minute treatments in the oxygen bars in L.A.
Since the early history of the earth, it appears there has been a 50% drop in the average oxygen content of the air we breathe! This discovery was particularly startling to researchers because it suggests the human body was originally designed to grow and operate at a stronger concentration of oxygen than what is currently available. It is well known the average oxygen content of air is only 19% to 21%, and in larger cities where there is more pollution, the oxygen levels are less.
Stabilized oxygen is a new generation of super oxygenation technology, developed by William F. Koch, M.D., Ph.D., which was later utilized by NASA for the space research program for astronauts.
"Vitamin O" is a safe, non-toxic, pH balanced supplement containing stabilized oxygen molecules in a liquid solution of sodium chloride--otherwise known as salt. The hemoglobin carries this oxygen straight to your body's cells and tissues, highly saturating them with oxygen in the process. This gives your body's cells and tissues the extra oxygen they need. This allows your body to oxidize and metabolize a far greater proportion of your nutrient intake, purifying your bloodstream, and eliminating any accumulated toxins and poisons.
Researchers see a direct correlation between decreases in oxygen levels and seemingly concurrent increases in human illness and disease. Dr. Otto Warburg, who was awarded the Nobel prize for his research into the cause of cancer, was convinced that cancer cells can only begin to proliferate in the human body when the cells become oxygen deficient.
Diet is an important factor in oxygen deficiency. "Junk food" is low in oxygen content and high in toxic preservatives. As is processed sugar, white flour, alcohol, and caffeine-loaded drinks such as coffee and colas. On the other hand, "Living Foods", such as raw fruits and vegetables are high in oxygen.
Symptoms of oxygen deficiency can be overall bodily weakness, muscle aches, depression, dizziness, irritability, fatigue, memory loss, irrational behavior, circulation problems, poor digestion, acid stomach, low immunity to colds, flu and infection, bronchial problems, tumors and deposit buildups, bacterial, viral and parasitic infections.
My results with "Vitamin O":
About 15-20 minutes after taking the product, I felt a surge of energy, just like after doing a good deep breathing workout. It wasn't a nervous kind of energy but an awake, I want to get moving kind of energy. I had to start doing exercises immediately to utilize the energy it created. After that I took care of about four pressing matters in no time flat and continued to feel wonderful throughout the day.
I have been using the "Vitamin O" and loving it! My skin is glowing and I have more energy than I know what to do with!
My "Vitamin O" progress updates:
5/3/99--I have been using the "Vitamin O" for 7 weeks and have an abundant supply of energy. I have been able to fight off illness in my household (everyone got sick but me!), and know I am absorbing the nutrients better from my supplements. I use 15 drops in a glass of water and drink it when I get up in the morning to help my body eliminate toxins. If I am up all night with the baby, I will take more "Vitamin O" during the day when I drink my water. I love this product.
07/15/99--I am still using and loving the energy and well being that "Vitamin O" gives me daily. I take 40-60 drops a day now, depending on my need. The best part is how easy it is to take. Just put the drops in a glass of water and you can't even taste it. I have stocked up and am giving bottles of it to my friends and family.
7/22/01--It is has been a long time since I updated here! I am not taking the Vitamin O as much now because I discovered I was low thyroid and that is why I have been battling the fatigue so much. I used to use the Vitamin O to give me energy but when I stopped, the fatigued returned. I have been taking a thyroid glandular and am monitoring my progress closely and stopped any supplements that give me energy for the time being. I still use the Vitamin O for other purposes and keep a bottle in my medicine cabinet. It works the best for canker sores. If you feel one coming on, just put on some Vitamin O a few times a day and it will be gone! It also works great on bug bites as it speeds healing.
8/5/01--Vitamin O Got Rid Of Warts! I got rid of my daughter's warts in a week using the Vitamin O. I had her spray the Vitamin O on the wart spots (on both her elbows) throughout the day and after just a week, they were dried up and completely gone. I had tried many things for months and nothing worked until I tried the Vitamin O. Try it, it works!
3/19/02--After reading the the long-awaited clinical double-blind study by Dr. John Heinerman on "Vitamin O" (click here to read it), I am using the Vitamin O again and using it faithfully!! My thyroid is no longer a problem and now I am back to focusing on getting the extra oxygen into my body that it needs. Remember, disease cannot live in an oxygen rich environment so do everything you can to get that oxygen into your body daily. Eat lots of live foods, exercise, deep breath, dry brush and use "Vitamin O" every day!
What others have to say about "Vitamin O"
"Vitamin O" has worked
wonders. After using it for two months I noticed a profound difference
in my breathing. I am so grateful that I discovered such a worry-free
and simple remedy, helping me with my hay fever.
--AS, Florida, age 74
I work as a telescope system
specialist for the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii.
The high altitude of this facility, almost 14,000 feet means there is
only about 60% of the oxygen at sea level. Your "Vitamin O"
has boosted my energy level and alleviated many of the negative side effects
of working this high level.
--Thomas Lowe, Hawaii
Of all the vitamins I have taken, and still do, none has produced the miraculous changes that "Vitamin O" has done for me. I have only been taking it for a short time, but already I can tell the difference. I used to be very unsteady when I walked, today it is as if I had taken 20 years off my age.
I used to awaken two or three
times every night, short of breath, it was frightening. Now I have perfect
rest. Truly, I can't say nearly enough in praise of this wonderful "Vitamin
O".
--LP, Nevada
Since we started taking "Vitamin
O" our lives have not been the same. We have more energy, better
resistance to infections and just a great feeling of well-being. My wife
looks 10 years younger and no one believes our ages.
--The Rebmans, TN, ages 68 & 70
After trying this product I can give it an enthusiastic THUMBS UP! I recommend it highly, especially if you are working towards your health by following The Living Well Plan. This will encourage your health, well-being and give you even more energy.
It is completely safe and all natural. It can even be used by pregnant and nursing women, children and animals. I feel confident putting my seal of approval on "Vitamin O".
I know you will love the "Vitamin O" too.

Original Research
PROVING THE EXISTENCE OF ELEMENTAL OXYGEN IN A LIQUID NUTRITIONAL PRODUCT ("VITAMIN O") THROUGH BLOOD GAS ANALYSES OF THERAPY/PLACEBO-SUPPLEMENTED HUTTERITES
John Heinerman, Ph.D.
ABSTRACT
Background: "Vitamin O" (a special supplemental oxygen taken in liquid form and produced through electrical-activation with saline solution from the ocean) has been periodically criticized in times past by governmental agencies and media alike for having no presumed oxygen content that could be detected by different lab analyses. Previous attempts to isolate this presumed oxygen have proven unsuccessful.
Objective: A precedent-setting study was initiated for the primary purpose of evaluating this particular nutritional for its elemental oxygen content by using an entirely different approach. A working hypothesis was developed to demonstrate that this supplement's oxygen could be detected through the medium of human blood with the assistance of blood gas technology. An experimental study was commenced in order to effectively test this theory out. The final results demonstrated that this was the most logical direction in which to go.
Design: Sixty Hutterite men and women from different colonies based in North America were recruited for this project. To be eligible, all volunteers had to have verifiable conditions of general anemia (a decrease in either hemoglobin or the number of red blood cells to below the normal level). Half of them were already taking some kind of doctor-prescribed iron supplement for their problem, while the others still remained unsupplemented. They were placed on a six-month program of special supplemented oxygen taken in liquid form and produced through electrical-activation with saline solution from the ocean, using either the test product itself or a suitable placebo (sterile saline solution of less than 5%), and divided into four major groups: (A) "Vitamin O" with an iron supplement; (B) "Vitamin O" without iron; (C) Placebo with an iron supplement; and (D) Placebo without iron.
Results: Blood gas analyses conducted on the participants' arterial blood samples showed definite increases in arterial blood oxygen (PaO2), as well as elevated discharges of carbon dioxide waste matter. Older subjects appeared to respond better to the test product's therapeutic actions, than was reported from younger recipients. The inclusion of an iron supplement with the test product indicates a helpful role in how the body utilizes "Vitamin O". However, non-iron subjects also receiving test product posted higher-than-expected hemoglobin values, which suggests that the apparent blood-building action of "Vitamin O" can happen also without iron-dependency. A general stabilization of arterial blood oxygen levels following three months of steady supplementation with the test product became evident, but could change if daily intake were temporarily discontinued.
Conclusions: Previous claims for test product's elemental oxygen content have been completely verified by blood gas analysis. The sophisticated technology employed made certain of this. And unsolicited remarks by a number of study subjects only reconfirmed this fact through oral anecdotes. "Vitamin O" does contain oxygen!
SUBJECTS AND METHODOLOGY
Subjects
Men and women with verifiable anemia were recruited from a variety of Hutterite colonies for study. No protocol and consent forms for the study were necessary. In the religious culture of the Hutterian Brethren, the head minister and assistant minister are usually the last word of authority in most colony matters. Once the test had been fully explained to each of them in the respective colonies contacted and their permission was obtained, then it only remained to obtain the necessary cooperation from the final participants selected.
Eligible subjects were aged 9 to 83 and, with the exception of anemia, exhibited no other organic diseases of any significance. Persons without anemia were excluded, as women who became pregnant, the very young (less than 9 years old) or the very elderly (those above 83). Persons were sought after who either were already taking some type of iron supplement or had not as yet made an effort with their doctors to start using this trace mineral for their problem.
Subjects were then randomly assigned to one of four different groups identified as follows: Group A ("Vitamin O" + iron); Group B ("Vitamin O" without iron); Group C (Equivalent placebo + iron); and Group D (Equivalent placebo without iron). The study protocol demanded that subjects submit to at least two arterial blood draws before and after the test had run its course. A third preliminary sampling on six randomly chosen subjects was made about midway in the experiment.
The Hutterites are a self-contained people shunning the outside world. They are part of Anabaptist Reformation movement of the 16th Century. But unlike other Anabaptist groups such as old-order Mennonites and Amish who reject most modern conveniences outright, the Hutterites are not at all against fully embracing the numerous benefits which some types of modern technology have to offer. This is especially apparent when it comes to the operations of their large agribusiness colonies.
In an America that has pretty much abandoned its agrarian heritage, these people have stayed close to the soil for well over four centuries now and have not only adequately supported themselves from it but have also reaped huge profits through their wise farm management skills. They operate substantial farms and ranches in the western portions of America and Canada. These people share all property and income equally, there being no rich nor poor among them.
They have turned away from contemporary America more single-mindedly than even their spiritual cousins (Mennonites and Amish) have. The Hutterites are far less assimilated into the American culture than are these other two Anabaptists groups, who individually own their farms and often work for hired wages in the outside world.
In colonies of 50 to 100-plus people, the Hutterites carefully preserve their communal identities by strictly adhering to their own traditions. They avoid worldly temptations in the forms of TV, radio, motorcycles, provocative clothing, jewelry, racy literature, and so forth. However, they have had the good sense to keep those parts of modern technology which have enabled them to become the successful farmers and ranchers that they now are.
Methodology
Blood gas monitoring has been around in some form since the mid-1920's. In the mid- and late-1930's various European scientists published new ways of measuring blood plasma oxygen levels. The dropping-mercury method of measuring blood gases (mm Hg) first came into being sometime in 1942. The actual separation of blood gases themselves didn't occur, though until in the late 1940's and early 1950's. In early October, 1954 Leland C Clark, Jr., a biochemist and physiologist invented the prototype electrode that would revolutionize clinical medicine forever.
In his own words, here is what happened: "It was late in the day on October 4, 1954. I shall never forget this day. It was then that I assembled some glass, platinum, and silver wire, a drop of potassium chloride solution, and a bit of polyethylene film to see if it would work as an oxygen electrode. The circuit was a flashlight battery, two resistors, and a string spotlight galvanometer from an old Evelyn colorimeter. The total cost of the electrode and circuit was just under a dollar.
"First there was current which settled at a few microamperes. Next, I squirted oxygen at the tip of the electrode and the galvanometer spot took off. It returned to the air current when the oxygen stream was removed. I squirted gas from a nearby Bunsen burner, and the current decreased rapidly to near zero. Although I had hoped it might work, I was really surprised when it did. I have only had this feeling of elation a few times since then."
More than any other single invention, Clark's electrode led to the ubiquitous blood gas measurement. When Clark finally managed to work out the bugs and disclosed his polyethylene-covered oxygen electrode at around 5:00 p.m. on April 18, 1956, in Convention Hall, Atlantic City, New Jersey, the meeting broke up so that everyone could inspect his wonderful achievement. No one doubted that this was a historic turning point for respiratory physiology. Nor did they anticipate, however, the explosion of uses of this amazing oxygen electrode in clinical medicine. It would be used, first and foremost, to monitor gaseous oxygen, to measure blood PaO2 in order to determine blood oxygen content, and to study hemoglobin dissociation curves. In addition, it would help in transcutaneous monitoring of oxygen in premature infants and would have a myriad of research uses eventually in cell culture and molecular genetics. Use of Clark's incredible electrode would also carry over into the flood industry, to wine and beer production, to aviation and space flight, to soil chemistry, and even to sewage management, of all things! On April 23, 1985, in Anaheim, California, Leland Clark and two associates were honored at a special 30th anniversary celebration of the invention of blood gas electrodes at the Respiration Dinner of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB).
The introduction of Clark's invention dramatically changed the way physiologists were then monitoring blood plasma oxygen. The old way required rapid stirring of blood solutions to obtain readings similar to the actual oxygen tension (PaO2) as seen in a gas phase in equilibrium with a liquid. But the possibility of directly measuring blood PaO2 and even tissue PaO2 generated enormous interest among respiratory physiologists.
The first blood gas electrode system containing all three electrodes (pH, PaCO2 and PaO2) was designed and built by Severinghaus and Bradley at the Cardiovascular Research Institute of the University of California Medical School in San Francisco in 1958 1959. This apparatus is now part of the Anesthesia Exhibit at the National Museum of American History, which is part of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Calibration problems were eventually resolved with the invention of Clark-type gas phase oxygen electrodes, which have become a standard component not only of blood gas analysis machines but also of modern anesthesia machine, the incubator, the ventilator apparatus, and the aviator's oxygen mask. Other research physiologists and anesthesiologists made their own valuable contributions to blood gas analysis and standardization over the course of time. All of these noble efforts, both great and small, has made oxygen measurement, as it should be, one of the biggest fields in modern physiology.
Blood gas machines have evolved from tedious manually operated instruments to highly automated machines of considerable complexity and sophistication. Today virtually every acute care hospital in America provides rapid and automated blood gas testing on a 24/7/365 basis, if necessary. One of the most important areas undergoing rapid change right now is that of blood gas quality activity present an especially considerable array of choices. There are many new arterial blood sample collection devices and new reagents for calibration.
As a result, all phases of this testing methodology blood drawing, rapid and chilled lab delivery, machine calibration, sample insertion, cleaning, value measuring, and data interpretation are unbelievably accurate because of state-of-the-art technology and the continual updating of the knowledge required by those technologists involved in such unique monitoring.
Since the integrity of test participants' vessels had to be violated to obtain the needed blood samples, those medical researchers involved with this study were concerned with three significant problems normally associated with such as invasion: bleeding, vessel obstruction, and infection. Blood gas analysis requires arterial samples because only the right and left ventricles contain thoroughly mixed blood that has returned from the capillary beds where respiration has occurred, having passed through the liver portal to pick up any supplemented "Vitamin O" or its equivalent placebo.
The arteries are conduits in which essentially no gas exchange occurs; therefore, an arterial sample is presumed to have the same blood pH, PaCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide) and PaO2 (partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood; or, arterial oxygen tension) as already exist in the corresponding ventricle. The criteria for selecting a site and technique for obtaining arterial blood samples should always be based on safety, accessibility and test subject comfort.
The radial artery at the wrist is the best site for obtaining an arterial blood sample for several reasons. First, it is superficially located and relatively easy to palpate and stabilize. Secondly, collateral circulation via the ulnar artery is usually excellent. Thirdly, the artery isn't adjacent to large veins. And finally, a probing needle can be relatively pain free if the periosteum of surrounding bone is avoided. The superficial palmer arch provides the major blood flow to the fingers and is derived primarily from the ulnar artery. The radial artery supplies the smaller deep palmer and dorsal arch of the hand.
A simple, clinically reliable maneuver for assessing collateral circulation in test subjects' hands prior to radial artery puncturing was employed. Participants were asked to form tightly closed fists to force most of the blood from their hands. Pressure was then applied to the wrist to compress and obstruct both the radial and ulnar arteries. The obstructing pressure was removed from the ulnar artery while the radial artery remained obstructed. Flushing the subjects' palms, fingers, and thumbs within 10 seconds documented that their ulnar arteries were capable of supplying the entire hand while their radial arteries were occluded. Such a maneuver indicated that radial artery puncturing of the sixty study subjects would not result in inadequate blood flow to the hand.
The technique for radial artery puncture was explained to each participant. After the skin had been examined for rash or other abnormalities that might have eliminated prospective draw sites, palpations of the radial and ulnar arteries were done. Each participant was positioned so that the hand and arm positions wouldn't be uncomfortable. A rolled or folded towel was placed beneath the wrist to help maintain wrist hyperextension. Each intended puncture site was cleansed with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
Those performing such a procedure wore latex gloves. Use of local anesthesia was deemed unnecessary since nearly all punctures were accomplished correctly on the first attempt. However, in the few cases where they were not and multiple attempts were required, cold packs were promptly placed over the puncture sites and subjects given cold drinks of some kind to provide immediate relief from pain. All sampling was conducted on several different Sundays when test subjects were in a resting mode.
Use of 21-gauge needles was preferred over the smaller-gauge kinds so as not to invoke higher arterial pressures to pulsate blood into syringes. Subjects' arteries were palpated with one hand of the blood drawers, while in the other they held a properly prepared syringe and needle. The angle of entry was similar to that of grasping a pencil or at a 45-degree tilt. Slow advancement yielded blood pulsating into syringes. Two of four milliliters of blood was taken with each sampling. It was seldom necessary to aspirate syringes with 21-gauge needles. Pressure was applied to the puncture sites for up to 2 minutes or until any small bleeding had ceased.
Since blood is living tissue, there continues to be oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production, even after the blood has been taken up into a syringe. This is why extraordinary precautions were taken to have all blood gas syringes properly cooled in portable refrigerated units made especially for this purpose. As a result the temperature of the drawn samples fell immediately to about 4 degrees Centigrade which tends to minimize the oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production.
And by reducing the temperature of the blood samples, we also managed to reduce the metabolic rate of the blood cells themselves. In fact, by promptly refrigerating our collected samples as we did, automatically decreased the metabolic rate to such an extent that the samples underwent minimal change over several hours. As a general rule, arterial blood samples should be cooled as quickly as possible if it isn't feasible to have them analyzed within the hour.
Extraordinary steps were taken to have all blood samples rapidly delivered to the nearest regional hospitals which have pulmonary labs and the latest blood gas machines on which these samples could be immediately analyzed. A chartered helicopter was employed in a few instances for quicker delivery from more distant colonies.
RESULTS
Sixty Hutterites with verifiable anemia (a decrease in either hemoglobin or the number of red blood cells to below the normal level) were selected from a number of different colonies and enrolled in a six-month study project. The classic signs of this mostly iron-deficient problem were manifested in many of the following cluster of symptoms: fatigue, pale skin, headaches, periodic dizziness or the tendency to fall asleep too easily, an irregular heartbeat or palpitations, and/or shortage of breath after moderate physical exertions. Volunteers who had already been put on some type of iron supplement by their doctors, were solicited for this study, as well as some who had not yet been given additional iron to take.
The primary purpose of this study was to test for the presence of increased oxygen in the blood. Participants were instructed to take 15 drops of "Vitamin O" or an equivalent placebo, sublingually four times daily for a total of 60 drops. General blood work was done on all the subjects prior to the study. Arterial blood draws were taken, and a second draw was performed midway through the study but limited to just six individuals for preliminary research purposes. Final draws were conducted at the conclusion of the test period.
Subjects ranged in age from 9 to 83. Both genders were equally represented, there being 30 males and 30 females enrolled at the time. A total of 126 arterial blood draws were obtained from these sixty volunteers during the six-month trial phase. All samples were immediately placed in a portable refrigerated storage container to guarantee their stability for several hours. They were then promptly transported to the nearest hospital blood gas labs for early analyses. Blood gas machines are used to measure pH, PaCO2 (partial pressure of alveolar carbon dioxide), and PaO2 (partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood/arterial oxygen tension).
Blood gas analyses require arterial samples because only the right and left ventricles contain thoroughly mixed blood that has returned from the capillary beds where respiration has occurred. This blood has also passed through the liver portal where it can pick up any supplemental "special" oxygen such as "Vitamin O" (which is produced through electrical-activation with sea water). Arterial blood is presumed to have the same pH, PaCO2 and PaO2 values as those existing in the corresponding ventricle, since no gas exchange occurs in the arteries themselves.
PaO2 values is the measurement with which we need to be the most concerned so far as the interpretation and application of data in this particular study goes. Through comparisons of the pre- and post- readings of arterial oxygen tensions, were we able to discern any increases in blood oxygen, beyond the normal values already established for respiration action by the lungs.
PaO2 value changes were evident in the test subjects, with varying degrees of elevation posted for all of them. Blood draws were made from wrist radial arteries while the individuals were in a resting mode and always taken on Sundays when physical exertions in the colonies are kept to an absolute minimum. By so doing, we were able to disallow for additionally inhaled atmospheric oxygen that comes with excessive manual labor. Therefore, the PaO2 gains reported here in all resting subjects is not from activity-mandated inhalation, but rather from supplemented special oxygen taken in liquid form and produced through electrical-activation with saline solution from the ocean.
The volunteers were placed in four groups consisting of fifteen individuals apiece. They were categorized as follows:
GROUP A: "Vitamin O" with iron supplementation
GROUP B: "Vitamin O" without iron supplementation
GROUP C: Placebo with iron supplementation
GROUP D: Placebo without iron supplementation
The focus of this study was to determine if, in fact, electrically-activated oxygen in the form of liquid "Vitamin O", could have enhancing effects on normal arterial blood gases by boosting their oxygen contents. As the blood gas analyses of all participants suggests in the final measurements made, this was, indeed, the case. Which no longer begs the question of whether or not "Vitamin O" supplies the body with some form of supplemental oxygen, as the distribution company's marketing literature has previously implied.
This randomized, double-blinded study was initiated at great expense for the single purpose of evaluating a controversial product ("Vitamin O") purporting to contain oxygen in liquid form. Previous attempts to determine this by way of various chemical and spectrographic analyses of the product always met with failure. But now, through arterial blood gas analyses, that determination has been amply made with this group of Hutterite volunteers.
The "before" and "after" PaO2 values listed in Table I for all sixty participants clearly show that "Vitamin O" raised existing blood oxygen levels through arterial oxygen tension increases in varying degrees. All that was needed here was some innovative thinking to find the most reliable and ingenious way for demonstrating this. The arterial blood gas analysis approach was the right one for settling this ongoing controversy once and for all!
See Table I in Appendix, Page 12.
While not pertinent to this
study here, it may be noted in passing that ten subjects in Group B receiving
"Vitamin O" without iron supplementation and one subject in
Group D getting the placebo equivalent, also without iron supplementation,
reported cessations of some of the previously recognized symptoms generally
associated with anemia, namely, disappearance of lethargy, pallor, head
pains, arrhythmia, and oxygen insufficiency. This would seem to indicate,
as it did in a previous study of "Vitamin O" with chronic fatigue
syndrome (CFS) sufferers1, that there was some improvement in the hematocrit
and hemoglobin values of these eleven test subjects lacking iron (Footnotes)

of chronic fatigue syndrome" by John Heinerman, Ph.D., January 23,

supplementation. Interestingly enough, the ten who took the "Vitamin O" reported cessations for more of the listed anemia symptoms, whereas the sole subject getting only the placebo, but also without supplemental iron, mentioned an absence of only a couple of symptoms. Also, none of the eleven reported any discernible changes in their occasional bouts of dizziness.
DISCUSSION
An old adage that goes, "Necessity is the mother of invention," would certainly seem to have some application here with regard to the history behind the remarkable substance being marketed under the catchy title of "Vitamin O". The last several years have not always been kind with the company that distributes this intriguing product.
One of the principal points of contention "show me the oxygen" has been elusive until now! Laboratory tests to determine this have always yielded inconclusive results. The blame for this may be equally shared between bad science and the fact that the substance itself cannot be analyzed for presumed oxygen content through conventional means.
A much more sophisticated methodology had to be used in order to correctly detect the elusive oxygen in "Vitamin O". Human blood was considered as the best medium through which such a gaseous element could be found. Arterial blood gas analysis proved to be the best choice for making this important discovery. A lengthy commentary on the statistical results of the present investigation follows hereafter.
Before interpreting the results posted in Table I, it is probably a good idea to provide brief overviews of blood circulation and blood gas physics for those who may be unacquainted with them. Such information will better clarify the interpretations yet to be given of the test results.
To get started, let's quickly examine blood circulation, which is powered by the pumping action of the heart: Blood leaves the heart via the arteries, which branch repeatedly until they become tiny capillaries. Samples for blood gas analyses must always be drawn from one of these arteries before the blood diffuses across capillary walls and releases its oxygen and nutrients into body tissues, while at the same time picking up carbon dioxide and cellular wastes discharged into the bloodstream from these same tissues. From the capillaries, the now oxygen-deficient blood flows into the veins, which return it to the heart. Blood then flows to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, and then returns to the heart to be pumped throughout the body once more.
Besides the nutrients found within blood, there is also an assortment of gas molecules, primarily oxygen. The exchange of such gas molecules across permeable membranes occurs primarily through respiration, but also may come through supplementation. The former is a physical phenomenon essential to the maintenance of life, while the latter event provides more of an enhancing benefit than anything else. (When samples were drawn at different times, they were always taken on a Sunday when the test subjects were in a relative resting state and their respiration rates were slower than during weekly physical activities. This helped to somewhat minimize their atmospheric oxygen intake, while continuing with their steady supplementation of "Vitamin O" or its equivalent placebo both being provided to researchers by the company distributing this product. Hence, the reduced physical activity on their religiously designated "day of rest" also resulted in corresponding minimal respiration (and, therefore, less intake of atmospheric oxygen) for all our Hutterite participants.
As with all molecules, gas molecules are always in continuous motion and randomly colliding with each other and with various surfaces. The nature of such gas molecules (including oxygen most of all) dictates a trio of irrefutable truths:
1. Gas occupies a volume of some kind. The nature of that volume and the number of gas molecules affect the behavior of the gas.
2. Gas exerts a pressure within any volume. The frequency of the random collisions of the molecules within the volume itself determines the pressure.
3. Gas also yields a temperature because molecular movement is a process of heat expenditure. This temperature establishes how fast the molecules move.
Oxygen happens to be the principal, life-sustaining gas involved in this particular study. Whether obtained through normal respiration or added supplementation, it fills available arterial space and manages to exert uniform pressure on all arterial surfaces. Now the pressure thus exerted by such a gas as oxygen is defined mathematically as force per unit area. In practice, though, it is common to obtain the measurement by noting the height to which the force can support a column of mercury. This is most often expressed as millimeters of mercury or mm Hg (this classic mercury scale is known internationally as the Torricelli scale).
The foregoing explanations are invariably simplified whenever blood gas analyses results are posted and then subsequently interpreted as to their result potentials. This is reflected in the abbreviations found in Table I: PaCO2 and PaO2 are the partial pressure designations for arterial blood carbon dioxide emission and oxygen uptake and utilization, measured in mm Hg on the Torricelli scale.
When the first arterial blood draws were made from all enrolled study volunteers, their blood pH, arterial carbon dioxide tensions, and arterial oxygen tensions were duly noted and recorded. Midway through the study, a second series of arterial blood draws were randomly made on six of the test subjects (three males and three females of varying age ranges). The last series of arterial blood sampling was conducted on everyone at the conclusion of the study.
Certainly the most apparent development to come out of this study were the numerous increases in PaO2. Of the sixty participants, 48 of them demonstrated varying gains in their arterial oxygen tension levels, while another 11 showed slight decreases, and only one subject manifested no change at all. And though the statistical spread between some measured PaO2 levels could be as little as 1 mm Hg or as great as 67 mm Hg in the two blood samplings of some subjects, yet the overall mean average increase for everyone's arterial oxygen during supplementation testing stood around 10.27 mm Hg.
These figures suggest obvious oxygen increases, and for many those gains were gradual and steady with only six cases that posted sharp and dramatic jumps above 15 mm Hg. Bear in mind also that the various arterial blood draws were performed on the weekend when physical activities were held to a minimum in keeping with the Hutterite Sabbath observances. Which, of course, means that the content of air oxygen in the arterial blood, obtained through breathing, would have been considerably less than during a normal work week. This definitely points to oxygen from another source!
Participants had been instructed to take 15 drops of therapy product ("Vitamin O"), sublingually (beneath the tongue) four times daily for a total dosage of 60 drops. These instructions were faithfully followed by the majority of participants so far as could be determined through periodic oral interviews with each of them.
An intermittent and randomized sampling of six test subjects performed midway through the trial, showed remarkable arterial oxygen gains in four of them. But when the last blood draw was performed on everyone sometime later, three of these six participants had experienced slight drops in their PaO2 levels but not significant enough to worry over. Suffice it to say that all six did show increases of some kind in their PaO2 values by the time the second arterial sampling was conducted on them, which was about midway into the study. Strangely enough, there was a leveling off after this in arterial oxygen tensions in these six subjects, with no new gains of any significance being observed in
the final blood draws. It's as if the supplemental oxygen levels had peaked by the third month but remained relatively steady thereafter even up to the sixth month. The different values for blood pH, PaCO2, and PaO2 in each of these six randomly selected subjects through three separate arterial samplings are given below in Table II.
See Table II in Appendix:
This ground-breaking study also yielded some other rather surprising results that may be of passing interest to consumers and alternative practitioners who've utilized "Vitamin O" in different ways for the promotion and maintenance of overall wellness. Such ancillary discoveries, while not exactly pertinent to the focus of this study here, nevertheless, contribute their own bits of knowledge towards making our understanding of human health developments more thorough and complete.
The first of these noteworthy finds has to do with the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that the body emits with every exhaled breath. As body cells utilize oxygen obtained from respiration and supplementation, there is a corresponding yield of CO2 which must be discharged very quickly. This particular waste byproduct is the end result of body metabolism which must be constantly eliminated, otherwise the blood pH acquires more acidity (below 7.0). And blood acidity has been implicated by some health experts as being one of the chief inducements for eventual disease evolvement in different parts of the body.
This long-held theory implies that as CO2 residues slowly accumulate within the body, rendering its blood supply more acidic, that certain unfavorable changes also occur, albeit on a very gradual basis. The signs of old age become more apparent as the skin wrinkles sooner, the joints become stiffer, circulation is impeded, memory impaired, and cardiac performance undermined. A great deal of this is attributed to the molecular chaos created with the body by scavenger molecules knows as free radicals. It is thought that elevated CO2 levels greatly contribute to their unfortunate production and subsequent destructiveness, but the specific mechanism by which this is done remains undiscovered.
The "Vitamin O" research with Hutterites clearly demonstrates that there is enhanced discharge of waste CO2 in those taking the test product versus controls. A careful reexamination of Table I definitely shows this for Groups A and B, whereas Groups C and D taking the placebo experienced considerably less CO2 discharges. As to what may account for this cannot be fully discerned at this time without further investigation. Perhaps, it might be something else associated with the "Vitamin O", such as the electrical activation employed during its initial manufacturing phase.
Nonetheless, this ancillary find has obvious therapeutic consequences when supplemented oxygen in liquid form ("Vitamin O") can expel CO2 waste matter more expeditiously from the body. Apparent benefits might include, among other things, greater youthfulness, improved mobility, better circulation, sharper mental clarity, enhanced heart and lung functions, and increased physical energy.
Those residing in large metropolitan areas are often subject to greater amounts of smog inhalation than those living in rural settings. Constant exposure to the heavy metal pollutants common to smog can injure the respiratory system over a long period of time and inhibit its ability to effectively discharge CO2 waste matter. Blood pH levels then become compromised the alkaline state which keeps everything vibrant and in good working order eventually turns acidic, thereby creating a sluggish and poorly performing metabolism. In the alkaline phase of relatively good health, naturally-occurring toxins taken into the body from without, or else formed there by different means, are routinely eliminated; whereas, when an acidic state prevails, then there tends to be a slow buildup of such deleterious materials which can have a definite, negative impact on the body's general wellness. "Vitamin O" appears to amend this situation with constant use.
Another remarkable thing which the primary study on "Vitamin O's" demonstrated oxygen content yielded was the noticeable age difference in response to the test product: Older participants reported better physiological results (e.g., more energy and stamina, greater physical activity, and improved cognition) than did younger recipients. The reason for this seems pretty evident: Older bodies with greater CO2/free radical impairments respond more favorably to "Vitamin O" rehabilitation than do younger biological systems without any need for this.
Evidence from the initial study also points to a definite role for iron in the body's utilization of the test product. Group A ("Vitamin O" + iron) posted a mean average increase (32.27%) or arterial oxygen levels that was nearly double what Group B ("Vitamin O" minus the iron) demonstrated (19.08%). Both placebo groups (C and D) showed negligible gains in their respective PaO2 values (0.51% with iron and 1.91% without iron). What this suggests is that some kind of iron supplementation seems to help increase the body's internal application of "Vitamin O". Table III reflects this data more concisely.
See Table III in Appendix
CONCLUSION
This report has covered ground-breaking research recently conducted on sixty Hutterites from many different colonies throughout North America. While initiated primarily for the purpose of determining possible elemental oxygen content in a trade-marked liquid supplement marketed under the name of "Vitamin O", the study also yielded several other ancillary discoveries as well during the research period itself.
Prospective candidates of varying ages with identifiable symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia were enrolled and categorized into four basic groups two using the test product and the other pair serving as control groups on an equivalent placebo. The test product groups used "Vitamin O" with and without a prescribed iron supplement, as did the placebo groups. Instructions for self-administration of either the test product or placebo were the same for all four designated groups: Take 15 drops sublingually (beneath the tongue) four times daily (as the marketing literature for "Vitamin O" implies).
Past efforts to assess potential elemental oxygen in the test product have always proven to be somewhat elusive. Therefore, a proposal was put forward by this researcher to both the manufacturing and distributing companies of "Vitamin O" to consider the likely medium of human blood as a suitable way for making this oxygen content determination once and for all. This recommendation proved to be far more successful than previous lab analyses of just the test product itself.
Through different blood samplings and arterial blood gas analyses, this investigative pathway demonstrated once and for all that "Vitamin O" does, indeed, contribute oxygen to the body. This was primarily determined through the PaO2 values observed and recorded for each of the participants, both before study commencement as well as at its conclusion. A further determining factor in support of this were the marked increases of CO2 waste discharges from those participants in the first two groups taking the test product. Such magnified release of carbon dioxide waste can only happen when additional oxygen is present in the blood supply.
Volunteers taking prescribed iron supplements of some kind, as well as those not yet using them, were specifically sought out in order to see if there was any significant interaction between this essential mineral and the test product or equivalent placebo. The final results strongly indicate an important role of some kind for iron in the body's maximum utilization of "Vitamin O". However, it also needs to be pointed out that many of the subjects in Group B receiving the test product minus the
iron posted somewhat higher hemoglobin values than would have been expected. This remarkable development suggests that electrically-activated liquid oxygen may ameliorate general anemia in ways that are not always necessarily iron-connected. Therefore, while medically-supervised iron supplementation is definitely beneficial to the production of new hemoglobin in anemia cases, the separate use of "Vitamin O" for this problem can likewise prove assistful to some extent. The frequent consumption of iron-rich foods is a good resource to pursue for meeting the body's needs of this crucial mineral.
That the test product truly contains elemental oxygen in a manipulated (electrically-activated) form which the body can readily utilize, can no longer be doubted or questioned. Blood gas analyses do not lie: Groups A and B dosing with the test product posted significantly higher PaO2 values than did those in controls (placebo groups C and D). The anecdotal responses from many of those taking "Vitamin O" also bears this out. Though unsolicited, these voluntary expressions of having "more energy and vitality," provide additional, secondary evidence to this effect, albeit somewhat subjective so far as the scientific rationale of this study goes. Thus, it would not at all be improper to state that while the main thrust of this research has been purely scientific, the proffered statements from many lay participants cannot be entirely ignored either. When taken both together with some common sense evaluation, they provide a good measure of balance to the valid health claims frequently made for "Vitamin O".
"Vitamin O" is a very remarkable product from a medical investigative point of view and deserves further research in order to explore its full and wonderful potential for the renovation of human health and restoration of hope in those deprived of total wellness and the satisfying comfort which goes with it.

Methylglyoxal Stops Cancer Cells From Proliferating While A Lack Of Methylgyloxal Allows Cancer Cells To Multiply
Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi was the Nobel Laureate in Medicine in 1937 for the isolation and discovery of Vitamin C. Known as the "Father of Nutritional Science", he also discovered Iso-Flavones and vitamin P. In his last 40 years, he researched the regulatory processes of cell growth, and thereby the regulation of cancer itself.
He discovered some exciting and rather amazing information about cancer. In 1963 the prestigious magazine 'Science" published a remarkable article about his research. In it Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi identified two substances, one called Retine, which inhibited cancer growth, and the other called Promine, which promoted cell growth and made cancer grow faster.
He explained that these were very small molecules that were highly potent in controlling cell division. His research using mice achieved shrinkage of tumors by increasing the ratio of Retine to Promine with daily injections of Retine. Other researchers obtained similar results.
There were no harmful or toxic side effects.
In another "Science" article in 1967 he announced that his laboratory had isolated and manufactured Retine (retards cell growth) in the form of a Carbonyl compound called Methylglyoxal.
Again, in animal studies he showed that injecting Methylglyoxal daily into mice inoculated with cancer cells was highly effective. The study was divided up into 5 groups of 20 mice each. Every mouse in the control group died in the first 26 - 34 days. All mice were observed for 300 days. The First group began treatment 1 hour after inoculation. 15 of them survived
In the Second group, beginning treatment 4 hours after inoculation, 13 animals survived. The Third group began treatment 24 hours afterwards and 7 survived. The Fourth group waited 48 hours and 4 survived.
In an interview in Prevention magazine in 1972 conducted by Jane Kinderlehrer, he explained that he and "Dr. Egyud have found that retine (methylglyoxal) stops the growth of cancer cells without poisoning other cells. When retine is present in sufficient concentration, no cell division can occur while vital cellular processes go on unhindered."
The article goes on, "And what is a good bit of luck, and not my cleverness, the white-haired scientist pointed out, is that if a cancer cell cannot grow, it dies by itself." According to the researchers, retine is normally produced by the body and, when it is, it prevents the growth of existing cancer cells. But the body can lose its ability to produce this substance...
"Putting the retine back in the body, just as we put insulin back into a diabeticÕs body, can stop the growth of cancer... The scientists at Woods Hole found that cancer cells are much more sensitive to retine than normal ones, and so cancer cells may be inhibited specifically."
To sum it up, the Carbonyl group - Glyoxal & Methylglyoxal, arrests cell division and makes the cell return to a resting state. If Carbonyl is missing, uncontrolled proliferation goes on and cells grow wildly and uncontrollably which could lead to cancer or other severe conditions. Glyoxal & Methylglyoxal are non-toxic, cell specific substance with anti-cancer activity.
Another well known doctor, Dr. William Koch, worked on this same issue from a different approach. Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi acknowledged his work saying, "A decade ago, a very intuitive researcher, Dr. William F. Koch, came to the same conclusion about the possible importance of Carbonyls in regulation of cell division and carcinostasis."
Later on in this report I will tell you about more about his work and the products he developed.
Get MethylGlyoxal Into Your Cells
Koch TMT Homeopathic Formulations and SSR Super Quinone
Methyglyoxal, if you remember, literally tells cancer cells to stop their abnormally high replication rate. Cancer cells are reved up way past the red line, so to speak, when it comes to cell replication, and replicate many times faster than normal cells.
Methyglyoxal is missing from those cells. TMT or SSR use a very slight amount of methylglyoxal that starts a self-replicating process causing the cell to repair itself as methyglyoxal is introduced to the cell, and passes on to restore the mythylglyoxal in another cell. Causing a cascade of cellular repair and a stopping of uncontrolled replication. As Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi discovered, when cancer cells can't replicate in an uncontrolled fashion, they die.
And of course, at the same time as these remedies turn off the replication of cancer cells, they initiate the repair of respiratory enzymes from cell to cell.
TMT is Dr. Koch's full range of five different homeopathic formulations of glyoxal and methylglyoxal (one of them being SSR) that work together to stimulate your body to create more methylglyoxal in the cells. They have been used for 50 years in Germany and have proven again and again to be quite powerful in their cancer fighting effects.
The TMT Homeopathic liquid remedies come in 2ml sealed glass vials. You break off the top of the glass vial to open them. Then sip the liquid using a small straw. You get more then you do with the SSR vials, but they are a bit harder to take than the SSR screw off the top 1 ml vials.
One set of TMTcomprises ten vials. The normal protocol is to take one a day for 10 days, and then one a week for 10 weeks. At this rate, two sets of TMT vials will last three months.
The TMT protocol is not quite as intensive in frequency as using the SSR. A set of SSR comprises 14 vials. You use one a day for ten days and then one a week for 4 weeks. Then repeat. The 14 SSR vials last for a month and a half and then you start taking one a day again for ten more days and then one a week for four weeks.
The TMT remedies are a more complete program in that they comprises all the formulations developed by Koch, and they contain more per vial. But they are a bit harder to take, and you go through a longer period where you are taking one vial a week for ten weeks. With either formulation you can decide to take one a day indefinitely until better.
(The Five Mineral Catalyst Formula may be used with either the TMT or the SSR.)
It is also suggested that you go on a vegan - no animal products diet (for at least a week) when using TMT.
Here are some case studies of people who followed the TMT protocol.
A 31 year old female with cervical cancer suffered for a year with irregular bleeding, discharge, increasing pain and progressive bladder problems. Squamous cell cancer was diagnosed and comfirmed.
She went on the TMT protocol and vegan diet, and experienced the typical first reaction symptoms of general achyness and a low grade fever, very much like a cold. After a few months the bleeding stopped, puss and discharge stopped soon afterwards, and the pain slowly went away. After 36 weeks there were no more symptoms, and the cancer was in remission.
A 58 year old female had stomach cancer and had lost weight from 150 to 108 pounds in nine months. The entire right side of the stomach was enlarged, bulging with a tumor. She was vomiting, had great weakenss and considerable pain and tenderness in the abdomen.
She started on an all vegan diet and the TMT. After 3 weeks she experienced the healing reaction of chills, fever, and general aching for several days. She took no dosages of TMT during her healing reaction. She continued in a once a week dosage and experienced several more healing reactions until her recovery and went into remission.
TMT was used once a month as maintenance. After ten years, she was still in good health.
A 42 year old female with metastatic breast cancer in the bones, lungs and liver had a radical mastectomy with lymphatic dissection followed by chemotherapy for 6 months. This was followed by radiation treatments to the lungs and bones. After eight months of remission, she was found to have an acute reoccurrence of bone metastasis.
She started on a vegan diet and intermittent juicing and fasting on a regular basis, and did home enemas. (Maximum Digestion is an excellent enema substitute as it cleans the whole intestinal tract and rebuild the intestinal lining.)
She followed the usual TMT protocol. She developed acute bone pain with skin inflammation. Even the surgical scar of the mastectomy becaome inflamed. She was taken off TMT during this healing reaction. After two weeks, she went back on the protocol. Within a week, the patient developed abdominal pain. This seems to be resolving a chronic liver viral episode she had in the past. It lasted for several weeks.
Over the next year she took TMT in intervals dependent on healing reactions. Pain and inflammation decresaed. Eventually she went back to her oncologist, and a bone scan and cat scan revealed no further evidence of cancer.
A three month old baby, diagnosed using x-rays, exploratory surgery and a biopsy, had cancer in 85% of her liver. The doctors closed her up and told the mother that nothing more could be done. Just try to make her as comfortable as possible for the few days she had left to live. They placed her maximum life expectancy at 21 days.
With the help of another doctor, she was started in the TMT protocol. Within the first ten days on TMT, the baby passed large quantities of mucous with multiple bowel movements.
In three months, the abdominal area became smaller in size and softer, and the baby could breath easier. In four more months another doctor examined her and could find nothing wrong with the baby.
After 6 more months, the baby was examined by several other doctors, and none of them could find anything wrong. At two years old she had normal growth and development.
A 40 year old man with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the throat was given 6 to 12 months to live. After taking two IV dose infusions of chemotherapy, the patient terminated the treatment as he couldn't take it anymore.
TMT protocol was started. He maintained a vegan diet and did enemas for the first 3 months. After about one month, he had a healing reaction with acute body aches, fever and chills, and fatigue as if fighting the flu. Within several weeks he reported to be feeling quite well. He maintained on TMT.
One year since the initial lymphatic dissection a follow up with the oncologist was done. No reoccurrence of the original cancer could be found. He was told by the oncologist "don't tell me what you are doing, but for goodness sakes, don't stop whatever it is."
After five years he gave up going to the oncologist stating that it was just too depressing going to a place where he sees people in his previous state so sick from the chemotherapy.
More Information On
Dr. Koch's Remedies:
SSR Super Quinone And The Koch TMT Homeopathic Remedies
Developed by Dr. William F. Koch, Super Quinone and Koch's full line of TMT homeopathic remedies have for over 60 years been used time and again to conquer cancer and other major illnesses. Composed of homeopathic sized methylglyoxal quinone molecules, one of their main functions is their ability to repair damaged respiratory enzymes in cells. This is fundamental to the development of cancer.
As you will read more about later on, another main cancer fighting function they perform is to get methylglyoxal back into cells, thus helping to turn off the uncontrolled replication that characterizes cancer cells.
They also work to effectively neutralize free radicals in a different way than typical antioxidant supplements do.
It was Dr. Koch's opinion that his homeopathic quinone based remedy tapped into healing at the level of DNA in the all the cells of the body. Primarily by triggering a cell's oxidative mechanisms to regenerate the impaired aerobic oxygen respiration that causes the cell to go cancerous. Restoring a cell's ability to use oxygen to produce energy is fundamental to Otto Warburg's theory on how to stop cancer. And it works...
Koch's book, The Survival Factor, has a series of photos of an infant with inoperable liver cancer who had a protrusion of the abdomen which got less and less until she is shown as a healthy young girl. And many other users have experienced similar results.
They formulations trigger a chain reaction in every cell on a molecular level, and tap into the body's infinite capacity to reverse any disease.
Dr. Koch called his primary remedy the Synthetic Survival Reagent, thus SSR. And used it successfully for treating cancers, allergies, polio and infectious diseases. He postulated that it worked against pathogens because the increased oxidation initiated by SSR would kill the disease causing pathogens in the cells.
They also help to deal with the damaging effects of free radicals throughout the body. In a sense, causing a chain reaction at the DNA level among all existing free radicals to nullify them so that they cannot cause disease. When you take them along with other free radical scavengers, the damaging effects from the vast amounts of free radicals we are exposed to in this polluted world can be greatly negated. It can bring about dramatic changes in the cells because it normalizes DNA function with the removal of free radicals, and subsequently effects how cells replicate.
In addition, it is theorized to be able to interfere with the DNA of pathogenic microorganisms and cancer cells to shut down their replication and thus cause them to die. An MD who worked with Koch's formulations said that he found it to be about 80% effective against cancer.
As a historical note, in Germany they have been used to treat many different diseases. German authorities on these remedies say that theytreats: Cancer, HIV, chronic infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, can be a replacement for vaccinations of diseases such as chicken pox and measles, and basically treat any and all disease. (Heart disease is intimately connected to free radical damage and bacterial infections.) Because the Super Quinone and TMT molecules are extremely small, it has no problem working on diseases of the brain.
Five Mineral Catalyst Formula
Another important component of Dr. Koch's cancer fighting regime is his Five Mineral Catalyst Formula. He considered it essential to use with this formula with his other formulations to maximize their effectiveness. Working on its own or in conjunction with SSR or TMT, these five minerals, when taken in homeopatic quantities, serve as a catalyst to encourage all cellular activity to normalize.
They will not do so in the higher amounts you get in normal nutritional supplements. In addition, he felt that they functioned as a foundation to all other nutrients when taken in this form, and served to enhance the effectiveness of Super Quinone or the TMT.
Dr. William F. Koch was very well known in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s because of his discovery of how to normalize cellular chemistry on a micro molecular level so that cells became healthy and worked properly. His mineral formula of five different minerals in homeopathic dilution was an important part of this process though not as well known as Super Quinone.
The basic tenant of Dr. Koch was that free radicals and toxins change cellular chemistry, and thus cause the wrong type of chemical activity to take place in the immune system and in cells throughout the body. This can lead to cancer or any other ill health situation.
Dr. Koch felt the 5 Mineral Catalyst Formula was extremely effective at healing because it assisted the body in deleting incorrect responses to disease on a molecular level by providing homeopathic amounts of five trace minerals which had the ability to bring the cells back into balance.
This formula is meant to provide frequency signature input (vibration) to the cells in order to organize and optimize cellular chemistry as well as improve the absorption and utilization of all other nutrients. The specific claims for these homeopathically diluted minerals is based primarily on reducing fatigue and to improve respiration.
The label for every bottle of The Five Mineral Catalyst Formula makes these specific claims: Increases Energy, Reduces Fatigue, Improves Mental Clarity, brings about Greater Physical Ease and Improves Respiration. Taking the Five Mineral Catalyst Formula as directed will make a difference in how you feel and allow the body to heal much easier and faster.
The minerals are: Copper, Zinc, Manganese, Tin and Cobalt. These five minerals are prepared homeopathically at the 12C level of dilution. One bottle lasts 3 months as you take 12 drops a day for 10 days, 12 drops every other day for four weeks and then 12 drops once a week for seven weeks.
This is not a mineral supplement and doesn't take the place of taking a mineral supplement. These are homeopathic quantities that influence the action of cells. Even though you will have these minerals in a good mineral supplement, it is not the same thing. They won't do what the homeopathic minerals in the Five Mineral Catalyst Formula do.
The Five Mineral Catalyst Formula makes my list of top products to take for fighting cancer because of Dr. Koch's high reputation and the results he was able to obtain. He obviously had an understanding of the healing process that goes far beyond the typical or medical approach. The Five Mineral Catalyst Formula is relatively inexpensive as it lasts about 3 months, so it is well worth adding on to any cancer fighting program, whether you use his Super Quinone, TMT, or not.
Products to be mentioned elsewhere that support cellular oxygenation include AFA Blue Green Algae, CoEnzyme Q10, and a healthy coffee with a mushroom extract. And anything that raises alkalinity in the body improves oxygenation.
