Rediscovering a Genius: The Lost Sauna Protocols of Professor von Ardenne

Nearly a century ago, Professor Manfred von Ardenne—a brilliant German physicist, inventor, and medical pioneer—began developing what would become one of the most advanced integrative cancer protocols of his time. His approach was far ahead of its era: a systematic therapy that combined oxygen enrichmentmetabolic stimulationphysical activation, and heat to enhance the body’s natural capacity for healing.

Prof von Ardenne was one of the first to show, through clinical and laboratory research, that oxygen uptake in tissues could be profoundly improved by increasing the arterial–venous oxygen difference—in essence, making the body more efficient at using the oxygen it already receives. His breakthrough became known as Oxygen Multistep Therapy (OMT), a method that not only raised oxygen levels in the blood but also stimulated capillary perfusion, improved mitochondrial energy production, and helped restore normal function in oxygen-deprived cells. OMT was renamed for EWOT therapy in North America as soon as prof von Ardenne’s writings were translated into English and circulated as such in the media ever since.

What set Professor von Ardenne apart wasn’t just that he believed oxygen was important—it was that he understood how profoundly oxygen shortage at the cellular level could alter the course of a disease.

In his clinical work, he documented that reduced oxygen availability in tissue (what he called “oxygen deficiency syndromes”) played a central role in conditions ranging from cardiovascular disease and cancer to immune dysfunction and chronic fatigue. His solution? Not just to supply more oxygen, but to ensure that the body could actually absorb, transport, and utilize it.

Ozone Saunas: Revitalizing Detoxification Through Steam Therapy

Ozone is a gas made up of three oxygen atoms (O3).

Ozone occurs naturally in small (trace) amounts in the stratosphere, and to some extent, the particles shield Earth from the full effect of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light. Indeed, ozone is created when a regular oxygen molecule (O2), the type we breathe, drifts up to the very top of the sky. There, on the edge of space, it is split apart by sunlight into single oxygen atoms. Single oxygen atoms can rejoin to make O2, or they can join with O2 molecules to make ozone (O3).

Ozone (O3) for health or wellness purposes, can be made with an ozone generator. This device is used in spas, clinics and homes. The third oxygen atom can detach from the ozone molecule and reattach to molecules of other substances, thereby altering their chemical composition. It’s this ability to react with other substances that forms the basis of proponents’ health claims about ozone. Gunk in your body can be broken down or ‘oxidized’ away…

Detoxification through the skin is as old as the sauna or the sweat lodge. Humans have been enjoying the benefits of steam rooms for at least two millennia; the Romans built steam baths based on the Greek tradition. This practice was popular not only because it was pleasurable but also because it provided undeniable health benefits.

Human skin tissue, the outer covering of the human body, is permeable. What most people don’t know is that it is by far the largest organ of the body’s integumentary system. The skin has up to seven layers of ectodermal tissue and guards the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments, and internal organs. It also ‘breathes’. If you dwell in toxic regions of the world or work in toxic environments, your skin will absorb these latent malignancies. Conversely, if you frequently enjoy steam baths or saunas, you can use your skin to detoxify your body. Ozone saunas are a more modern extension of this age-old personal detoxification solution.

As the heat makes you sweat, toxins pour out of your body. After a session, comments like the ones below are not unusual:

“A relaxing experience. Definitely felt the pores opening up.”

“I felt very clean afterward. Like I just had a very hot shower, but without any residue from soap.”

“I felt the whole process was similar to the Roman baths in Baden-Baden [a German town known for its nude communal baths], but with a lot more privacy.”

A normal sauna increases the eliminative, detoxifying, and cleansing capacity of the skin by stimulating the sweat glands. It also promotes healthy skin tone and texture due to increased blood circulation.

Introducing ozone into the equation adds to the benefits of the steam. As the particles of the steam surround the body, they become a conduit through which O3 can be introduced into the body via the skin. Humid heat opens the pores, allowing the ozone to pass through the skin into the bloodstream, where it can travel to the fat and lymph tissue.

Preventive medicine places a lot of emphasis on diet and detox, and its literature repeatedly stresses the importance of frequent cleanses, especially for cleansing the lymph tissue of toxins. It could be argued that the ozone-enriched steam sauna is the easiest and best way to accomplish this detox.

The combined action of moist heat and ozone has a cleansing effect on the lymphatic system, which carries 90% of the body’s fluids. Ozone brings oxygen to the tissues for enhanced health and vitality. The combination of steam and ozone is a natural, effective way to promote a refreshing sense of well-being. And our clients agree: the ozone steam sauna is a pleasant way to practice body cleansing.

Benefits of ozone sauna

  1. Relaxes and loosens muscles by reducing the buildup of lactic acid and increasing muscle flexibility.
  2. Oxidizes toxins so they can be eliminated through the skin, lungs, kidneys, and colon. Boosts blood circulation, helping injured muscles repair more quickly.
  3. Stimulates vasodilation of peripheral blood vessels, relieving pain and speeding the healing process.
  4. Eliminates bacterial and viral infections of all kinds.
  5. Speeds up the metabolic processes of the inner organs and endocrine glands, resulting in a loss of 200-450 calories in a 20-minute session.

A growing number of physicians and patients have expressed enthusiasm for the ozone steam cabinet method for treating a wide variety of health complaints. Naturally, standardized protocols need to be followed.

Ozone itself is not new; it has been effectively used for over a century. However, the ozone steam sauna is a relatively new addition to ozone applications, emerging perhaps around 50 years ago.

Breathing for Wellness: Unlocking the Power of Mindful Respiration

Hyperventilation increases stress hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline.

There’s no question that elevated stress hormones are detrimental. Cortisol, in particular, acts as a primary aging hormone. When chronically elevated, it accelerates the aging process by promoting tissue breakdown (catabolism). Additionally, cortisol is antimetabolic, meaning it reduces metabolic rate. To maintain health and age gracefully, the body requires an anabolic state to build healthy tissues such as muscle and mitochondria. High cortisol levels significantly impair these efforts.

If you aim to enhance your health, mastering proper breathing techniques is crucial: slow and gentle breathing is key. Maintaining a higher concentration of CO2 within the biologically normal range increases the likelihood that your breathing will support both your health and performance.

We can also assist by providing proper equipment for therapeutic CO2 delivery when necessary.

Integrating therapeutic CO2 potential into wellness routine

Let us continue enlightening you about the unquestionable benefits of CO2 therapy that many people are completely unaware of.

Depletion of CO2 lowers cellular energy production by reverting the body to nitric oxide (NO), an ’emergency’ vasodilator. NO is a reactive nitrogen species. When it combines with superoxide, it forms an extremely harmful compound, peroxynitrite.

There are three types of nitric oxide synthases within the human body: neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), endothelial NOS (eNOS), and inducible NOS (iNOS). Low CO2 triggers iNOS, which is not good for the body at all.

The endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) mostly remains inside the blood vessels, while iNOS spills into the blood. One of its primary functions is to fight pathogens. iNOS is produced for only two reasons: as an emergency vasodilator or to fight infections.

You don’t want to activate iNOS unnecessarily as it’s made available systemically. If CO2 levels are low, NO will be elevated, which can form peroxynitrite. Peroxynitrite damages polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) that have been incorporated into cells, no matter where they are. Human bodies are loaded with PUFAs due to the fact that these fats are omnipresent in the diet of the majority of people today.

NO can also form a covalent bond with Complex IV in the electron transport chain (also known as cytochrome c oxidase), which is the rate-limiting step of oxidative phosphorylation.

Energy production in mitochondria is inhibited by NO when it forms a covalent bond with Complex IV in the electron transport chain (cytochrome c oxidase), limiting the process of oxidative phosphorylation.

Achieving optimal energy production in the mitochondrial electron transport chain is at the heart of health and disease prevention.

There is one more problem associated with elevated NO: it causes pseudohypoxia (low oxygen levels). In the cells, there is enough oxygen, but it cannot be utilized because NO impairs Complex IV in the electron transport chain. Sufficient CO2 prevents this by dissociating the covalent bond between NO and Complex IV. Oxygenation is truly optimized when adequate CO2 is present within the body.

Optimal delivery of oxygen is fundamental for good health. It can be increased not by more and deeper breathing, but by raising CO2 levels in the tissues.

Oxygen from the air binds to hemoglobin after inhalation and enters the bloodstream. The bond between hemoglobin and oxygen is quite strong. To break that bond and deliver the oxygen where it’s needed, we need CO2. This is known as the Bohr effect.

The Bohr Effect describes the process in which CO2 weakens the bond between oxygen and hemoglobin, allowing oxygen to be liberated and enter the tissues. As hemoglobin releases the oxygen, it binds to the CO2 consequently. The CO2 is later expelled through exhalation. Without enough CO2, it is not possible to liberate enough oxygen from hemoglobin.

CO2 also has many other benefits, all of which are lost when hyperventilating. People unconsciously hyperventilate as a consequence of multiple stresses they face today.

  • CO2 attaches to and forms an electric cloud over proteins, protecting them from oxidative damage caused by lactic acid metabolites.
  • CO2 modulates the expression of proteins and hormones (most of which are proteins).
  • By increasing CO2 levels, the efficiency of proteins and hormones in the body can be dramatically improved.
  • CO2 can be administered rectally and acts as fuel for anaerobic bacteria called Akkermansia in the large intestine. Akkermansia enhances glucagon-like peptide (GLP), which can be useful in the treatment of diabetes and obesity. Most populations today have either no detectable Akkermansia or hardly 1% in their microbiome, but the ideal level is about 10%.

A medical book from over 100 years ago discusses the many health benefits of CO2 that were used medically at the time. It covers the entire body, listing ailments such as dementia, psychiatric disorders, dysentery, fistulas, fibrotic conditions, gynecological issues, whooping cough, and tuberculosis, among others. Many physiological and mental conditions can be remediated by increasing CO2. CO2 therapy can be administered in various ways. We can help if you think you could possibly benefit from it.

INTEGRATE CO2 THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL INTO YOUR WELLNESS ROUTINE TODAY.

Many people may not know about that

We have been discussing the therapeutic uses of gases that benefit your health for years. Our main focus is on oxygen delivered in various ways, primarily targeting its most biologically active form: ozone.

The benefits of ozone therapy would be greatly diminished without the influence of another key player: CO2.

Many of you may be surprised to hear that CO2 is just as important as oxygen/ozone in maintaining your health and it is one of the most effective longevity hacks available today. Few things compare, except for a low linoleic acid diet and addressing estrogen dominance.

Today, when so many people are stressed to the max, it’s not easy to optimize your CO2 levels through proper breathing and by avoiding hyperventilation or overbreathing. Chronic CO2 deficiency, often induced by stress-related over-breathing, is very common and inevitably contributes to premature death.

Simply put, life-promoting breathing involves breathing less and slower, which allows CO2 to build up in the system. The wide range of benefits of breathwork, which focuses on improving skewed daily breathing patterns, includes an increase in CO2 levels.

It is a well-known fact that in trauma or ICU units, CO2 is used to counter the premature delivery of oxygen to patients who have experienced shock or an ischemic attack. Introducing too much oxygen too quickly can trigger a massive inflammatory reaction (cytokine storm) if cells do not have sufficient CO2 to enable them to utilize the oxygen effectively.

Knowing and understanding this fact, does it really make sense — if your aim is to live as long and as healthily as possible — to intentionally deplete your cells of CO2 through hyperventilation and then flood your body with oxygen with that recovery breath?

Deficiency of CO2 could also set off seizures. In the past (100 years or so ago), doctors tested for seizure susceptibility by asking patients to hyperventilate for half a minute. It was a sign of insufficient CO2 levels if the seizure symptoms became visible.

Low CO2 caused by hyperventilation increases the pH of the blood, known as respiratory alkalosis. Respiratory alkalosis negatively affects all enzyme activity, the balance of electrolytes, and proper blood flow. Over the long term, it could theoretically contribute to cancer, as respiratory alkalosis increases intracellular water uptake (a characteristic of cancer). Another reason why respiratory alkalosis could contribute to cancer development is that it causes the overproduction of several inflammatory mediators (including one more cancer characteristic: lactate) due to the raised pH of the cells.

So, from the above, you can see that if you want to improve your health, learn to breathe properly: slowly and gently. It is not easy if the faulty breathing pattern is gained for years. The higher the CO2 concentration is maintained (within the biologically normal CO2 concentration range), the greater the likelihood that the breathing will support your health and performance.
