Our interest in ozone—and in integrative tools like PEMF and functional medicine—begins with a simple conviction: people deserve the freedom to ask questions, speak openly, and choose their paths to health.
Those values aren’t abstract for us. As Polish descendants with direct ties to Eastern Europe, we grew up with family stories about what happens when freedoms are constrained—when speech, inquiry, and medical choices are narrowed by centralized authority. Across history and in many places today, the space to explore new ideas (including healthcare) has required courage. Whether under authoritarian systems or more subtle economic and institutional pressures, the right to informed choice matters.
That’s why this isn’t just a “therapy topic.” It’s a freedom topic—beginning with the liberty to learn, to compare evidence, to consent (or decline), and to collaborate with qualified clinicians on care that aligns with one’s values.
Maya’s turning point
Maya’s story sits at the heart of our mission.
She wasn’t a little unwell—she was so sick she couldn’t walk up or down her own stairs or safely drive a car. With a child under ten, she felt suddenly, devastatingly sidelined. Conventional testing and care didn’t provide lasting answers. Determined to regain enough energy to keep going, Maya leaned into her training as a civil engineer: observe, isolate, test, and eliminate. She documented symptoms, joined patient groups, and read relentlessly.
That search led her into integrative medicine—and eventually to Dr. Jozef Krop, a Polish-Canadian physician known for environmental and functional approaches. Under his care, she finally received a diagnosis that matched her lived experience and began a careful, clinician-directed path back toward function—encountering modalities like ozone and PEMF as part of broader care plans.
As she improved, Maya made a 180° life change: she left engineering, retrained in holistic nutrition, and worked alongside Dr. Krop as an environmental counsellor and holistic nutritionist. Today she advocates for informed consent, measured dosing, safety, and collaboration—because she knows exactly what it feels like to have your choices narrowed by illness and uncertainty.
“Progress isn’t always linear. It’s okay to move slowly. It’s okay to need help. What matters is that we keep moving.”
A Polish-Canadian physician, author, and pioneer we honour: Dr. Jozef Krop.
Dr. Krop stands as a formative figure in Canada’s story of Environmental Medicine, Ozone and PEMF—clinically and culturally—shaping the national conversation on health freedom and patient choice. He also authored several works, including Let’s Save Ourselves: A Primer on Ecological Medicine, where he discusses ozone use within an ecological, patient-centred approach to care. For context on his legacy, see the Vitality Magazine feature detailing his long fight with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and why it mattered to patients exploring integrative care
The Doctor Who Fought For Our Health Freedom
DR. JOZEF KROP – A PIONEER IN ENVIRONMENTAL MEDICINE
“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.” ~ Thomas Edison (1847-1931)
In Ontario, the rise of health freedom and the availability of good medicine that addresses the cause of illness rather than suppressing it with drugs, is closely associated with the saga of Dr. Jozef Krop. His high-profile prosecution for practising environmental medicine served to dramatically increase public awareness, which gave rise to the famous Kwinter Bill for health freedom in 2000. Then, as a result of immense public support for Dr. Krop, Ontario’s medical licensing authority, the College of Physicians and Surgeons (CPSO) was compelled to bring in a Complementary Medicine Policy in 1997 (revised in 2012).
