You know me from this blog. I am writing a lot of the postings. I also often act as Dr. Shikha's voice. She has an idea for a posting, we then usually discuss it, and finally it is put in words. I am therefore deeply involved in the project, and have been since long before I became a blogger in its favor. Actually, I have been involved with Healthy Healing Center Goa since the day it got off the ground in the same location in which it is now, in 2005.
Why? Pure self-interest! Because it has its benefits! Great health benefits! From my experience, ozone and integrative medicine are our one chance to counteract the poisons from the environment that by now even have become part of the food that we eat. We all know it. Many of the toxins that make us sick have entered the food chain. It didn't happen by accident. Actually, humans put them there.
When embedded in the overall approach of integrative medicine, ozone therapy can keep us healthy, energized and rejuvenated. I will spare you the science this time around, as Dr. Shikha and I have written enough about it in other postings. BUT, there is plenty of science behind it. Did you know, for example, that currently between fifty and one hundred scientific articles about the chemical and biological effects of ozone and hydrogen peroxide are published worldwide, each month? Even though the fact may not have yet percolated down into mass consciousness, bio-oxidative therapies are scientifically accepted. In Europe alone, there are over 15,000 doctors and holistic health practitioners who have been working with the approach successfully, some of them for decades. In India many new doctors join the ranks and become bio-oxidative physicians, while simultaneously continuing to practice conventional medicine.

I was aware of many of the facts on ozone therapy before Healthy Healing Center ever opened its doors. Even back then, I had already tested a similar approach from a slightly different angle, with another, very experienced physician in Bangalore. So, I am not a newcomer; neither am I a ‘hired gun’ writing about ozone therapy and for Healthy Healing for money. I have experienced a lot of what I am writing about on me, through my own body, and likewise in its very decisive effects on the mind. I know from experience that it is good. And therefore, I want to let others know how good it really is.
The only things that are presented in some of the blog postings, but that I have so far NOT experienced, are diseases and signs of premature aging. No, not one of them! I give Dr. Shikha and my own yoga and meditation practice credit for that. But then, yoga and meditation are not outside integrative medicine. On the contrary, they are an important factor in it, at least in the way that Dr. Shikha practices it and encourages it in those of her clients who are open enough to want to become or stay proactive.
To enrich the story with another aspect: For quite some time (several years as a matter of fact), I have been living with a partner who is more than a few years younger than I. Yet, she is not bored with me, and I am not stressed or challenged. On the level of everyday experience, it feels as if we were the same age. We are simply good partners, probably in a healthier manner than I have enjoyed when I was younger – and also in a way that she has never known before. Which is a miracle in itself.
What do Healthy Healing and Dr. Shikha have to do with it? A lot! Through its detoxifying and thus rejuvenating effects, integrative medicine did its part. However, the greatest benefit comes with continuity, as a fruit of a step-by-step approach - rather than as a result of a dramatic big effort. Staying healthy, happy and, what one might call agelessly young, evolves as a continuous process. The miracle is not in the medicine, but in what the medicine and the person can achieve together.
The first time I took ozone treatments was with the late Dr. Rathna Alwa in Bangalore, in 1998. It must have been in the course of the summer monsoon. I remember the city had cooled down considerably and it rained a lot. After the first visit, I came back to see Dr. Alwa in 1999, and then every year thereafter, each time for 5 to 7 days (back then I lived on the Karnataka coast) for a refresher course, until I moved to Goa in December 2004. Which is when Dr. Shikha entered the picture.
This means that I have taken short courses of ozone treatments for exactly 14 years, by now – not so many each time (because I was never really ill). Since 2005, I have also nipped quite a few oncoming flues and infections in the bud, with the same tool. Whenever I feel something coming on, I take one or two treatments, and it’s gone.
No chronic fatigue, no chronic constipation, no high blood pressure, no heart problems, no decrease in joint mobility and no lack of energy: that's why I do not listen to criticism by the uninformed, many conventional physicians among them. First of all, although they may know something about their own stuff, most conventionally trained physicians lack any, let alone precise knowledge regarding the way, in which ozone works in the body and supports the body. They know nothing about the biological and chemical processes that ozone sets in motion, once it enters the body. It is really hard to argue with 14 years of positive experience, 14 disease-free years!
The state of my own body provides thoroughly convincing evidence that my regular few ozone therapy sessions every year with the aim of preventing disease and premature aging, did indeed prevent both from occurring. As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure!

One last thing, the two lovely people beside me in the photo have nothing to do with Healthy Healing Center. They are my good dharma friends. Their interest is in Buddhism and Tibetan yoga, and they have studied with me since 2003 and 2007, as well as with my own Tibetan teachers. I picked this particular picture among many for a simple reason: it indirectly proves the point that I am trying to make.
Ozone therapy keeps you young and healthy when you take a few sessions regularly BEFORE you contract a chronic disease. It does not give you eternal life, but it prevents you from aging prematurely. The whole process unfolds more gracefully. As a result of its detoxifying action, it simply gives you greater energy and boosts your life force. Feels fantastic.
