What is Neural Therapy?
Neural therapy is an injection treatment that stimulates healing. The intention is to normalize abnormal stagnant up- or downregulation of the autonomic nervous system and to re-establish a dynamic self-regulating ebb and flow of the autonomic nervous system – that part of the nervous system responsible for the “automatic” functions of the body.1
Developed in Europe in the early 1900s, neural therapy has continued to grow in use. The following article is for the most part from Gerald R. Harris, DO, practicing neural therapy for nearly 30 years.2 It is an effective treatment for chronic pain, especially when practiced by a well-trained physician.
When used in conjunction with other techniques and modalities, neural therapy is very good in helping even the worst cases of chronic problems as it acts primarily through the autonomic nervous system.
WHAT IS THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
To understand neural therapy, it is important to understand what the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is. The nervous system has two basic divisions: they are called the somatic (voluntary) nervous system and the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. The somatic or voluntary nervous system is the part most people are familiar with because it controls voluntary movements such as walking, talking and planned movements. The autonomic (ANS) or involuntary nervous system, on the other hand, regulates internal body functions such as immune function, blood pressure and circulation, hormones, digestion, body temperature, heart rate, breathing, urination, sexual function, menstruation, and other automatic body functions. In other words, the ANS controls vital functions that maintain life without us consciously planning about it. If the ANS is not working well, these internal functions will not perform at optimum levels and ultimately lead to disease and chronic pain.
HISTORY OF NEURAL THERAPY
Neural therapy is a gentle, healing technique developed in Germany that involves the injection of local anesthetics into autonomic nerve ganglia (grouping of nerves), peripheral nerves, scars, glands, acupuncture points, trigger points, and other tissues. Two German physicians practicing in the early 1900s, Ferdinand and Walter Huneke, are considered the founders of neural therapy.2
Neural therapy is based on the theory that any trauma, infection, or surgery can perturb the autonomic nervous system and produce long-standing disturbances in the electrochemical or electromagnetic functions of tissues. When the autonomic nervous system is injured or not functioning correctly, various consequences result.3
DEVELOPMENT OF NEURAL THERAPY
Neural therapy evolved and developed along with the discovery of local anesthetics. The first local anesthetic, cocaine, was first isolated from coca leaves in 1855. It was discovered to have anesthetic effects by the famous Sigmund Freud in 1883. At that time, it was not considered addictive. But because of the addictive and toxic qualities of cocaine, a search for a safer local anesthetic ensued and by 1901, Dr. Alfred Einhorn was commissioned by the Lucius & Brüning company in Frankfürt_Hochst to synthesize procaine (introduced under the trade name “Novocain”).4
In 1906, Spiess and Schleich discovered that infiltration of procaine into a wound greatly enhanced healing. This extreme healing lasted much longer than the duration of action of the actual anesthesia. The famous French surgeon, Leriche, was the first to successfully treat a migraine headache with a local anesthetic nerve block injection and who called Novocain (procaine) “the surgeon’s bloodless knife.” In 1925, the brothers Dr. Ferdinand and Walter Huneke—both sons and grandsons of physicians—discovered the healing aspects of procaine without any prior knowledge of the work of Spiess, Schleich, or Leriche. This occurred by accident when, in 1925, Ferdinand Huneke gave his nurse, whom he had been treating for rheumatism, an I.V. infusion of procaine and her previously therapy-resistant migraine disappeared. This “lightning reaction” impressed Dr. Huneke who realized he may have found a new therapy for pain. He named this new therapy “Healing Anesthetics.” Ferdinand Huneke, along with his brother, Walter, first reported the results of their research into the healing properties of local anesthetics with the publication in 1928 of “Unknown Distant Effects of the Local Anesthesia.” The Hunekes reported that reaction to the injections could help organs at a distant site and described this phenomenon as a reflex. 5 In 1938, Dr. V. Roques from Berlin coined the concept, Neural Therapy.6 The publication of the book “Cybernetics” by Weiner in 1948 led to more clarification about neural therapy in that the main concept of that book is that the body functions as a whole and that every disease, every scar, and every treatment affects the whole body system.
HOW NEURAL THERAPY WORKS
There are several theories on how and why neural therapy works. It can be understood better by a short review of nerve cell physiology. Normal resting nerve cells have a “resting membrane potential” which is the difference between the electrical charges inside the cell and outside the cell.
While at rest, a healthy nerve cell does not generate nerve impulses. Traditionally, the electrical potential difference across a cell membrane is expressed by its value inside the cell relative to the extracellular environment. Resting membrane potentials typically fall within the range of -70 to -80 mV.7 If there is a stimulus to the cell, the membrane resting potential drops. When it drops to approximately 45 mV there is an “action potential” generated12 and the nerve fires an impulse.
In a nerve cell damaged by surgery or trauma, the resting membrane potential is chronically low—for example, it may be at -47 or -50mV.8 This means the nerve will fire off a nerve impulse with much less of a stimulus. Kidd sums this up: “A pathological reduction (usually) or increase (less often) in membrane resting potential leads to a reduced threshold of excitation within the affected tissue. The lower threshold creates chronic low-grade excitation, impaired intracellular metabolism and ion exchange, and persistent inability to maintain a normal resting potential, resulting in chronic neurophysiologic irritability or instability.”9 It is believed that by the repeated infiltration of the local anesthetic around the cell wall, the ion pumps progressively resume normal activity, overcoming the persistent inability to maintain a normal resting potential and eventually the autonomic nervous system starts functioning properly again. This is supported by Procaines’s action on sodium channels, which is the basis of our understanding of its effect on interference fields.10 Procaine temporarily hyperpolarizes both healthy and diseased cell membranes. After the effect of the procaine wears off, the membrane potential of the diseased cell returns to a level closer to normal.11

What is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone Therapy is a form of oxygen healing therapy. It is a medical therapy that has been used worldwide for over 50 years with dramatic success and safety. Oxygen in the air we breathe is actually two molecules of oxygen attached together, or O2. Ozone is an ‘activated’ form of oxygen where there are actually three atoms of oxygen attached together, forming a molecule that is “O3”.
Ozone behaves completely differently than oxygen. Ozone is far more energetic and oxidative than Oxygen, which is what makes it so valuable to humanity for so many applications, such as Air Purification, Water Purification, disinfection, and Medical Ozone Therapy Applications.1
Although not being a radical molecule, Ozone is a very strong oxidant. Scientific evidence proved that the effects of Ozone exposure are dose-dependent: low O3 concentrations induce a moderate oxidative eustress activating antioxidant pathways. These properties make Ozone a powerful medical tool, which can be used as either a disinfectant or an adjuvant agent in the therapy of numerous diseases.2
Medical Ozone Therapy Treatments have a wide range of application such as Rectal Insufflation, Ozone Sauna, Vaginal Insufflation, Ear insufflation, Major Autohemotherapy, Minor Autohemotherapy, and more. And their success is mainly anchored on increased oxygen delivery, immune system modulation, and anti-microorganism action.
Oxygen delivery and consumption is the most important factor in health and healing. Red blood cells (RBCs) carry your oxygen from your lungs to your tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which are even smaller than the diameter of your RBCs. From an article of Dr. Robert Rowen3, these are among the benefits of ozone therapy:
1.) Ozone therapy improves red cell flexibility, meaning your blood will flow much better. They will carry a higher negative electrical charge so that they repel each other and don’t stack together. This improves rheological (flow) properties of your blood, enabling more oxygen transport and your RBCs will be able to flex better to get through the small capillaries.
2.) Ozone therapy stimulates your RBCs to generate a compound called 2,3 DGP. Interestingly, this molecule enables your RBCs to release their payload of oxygen into your tissues. In other words, more oxygen delivery to your tissues. Less 2,3 DGP and your RBCs might actually hold on to the payload leaving your tissues oxygen-starved. Chronically ill organs and tissues are oxygen-depleted with their surrounding tissues high in lactic acid. 5
3.) Oxygen utilization is achieved by the mitochondria. Mitochondria are your cell furnaces where energy is made. They are your teeny, tiny but powerful motors. Ozone therapy may turn on overall mitochondrial function in your cells based on basic science studies of German and Cuban researchers showing more oxygen consumption in tissues with ozone administration. More energy, more ability to repair, no matter the tissue or organ.
4.) Researchers Bocci in Italy and Silvia Menendez, PhD, and her team in Cuba have determined that ozone modulates the immune system. In other words, where there is inflammation that is not needed, ozone will dampen it, and allow inflamed tissues to heal. Where the immune system is weak, ozone therapy picks it up. The net effect of ozone therapy is to bring your immune system to a healthier set point of balance. You need inflammation to fight invaders and repair, but when inflammation is not turned off, the inflammation itself then becomes destructive to your tissues. In the case of joints, modulating inflammation with ozone can sometimes lead to instant results.
5.) Ozone and its metabolic products are directly toxic to pathogens. In fact, ozone virtually instantly punches holes in the membranes of bacteria, hemorrhaging them on the spot. In contrast, chlorine compounds, well known as disinfectants, are 100x slower!
6.) When it comes to viruses, these stealth pathogens must gain entry into your cells to wreak havoc, no matter the virus. Research has shown that most viruses require fully-functional and reduced sulfhydryl groups (SH) on their outer shell to attach to and enter your cells. According to prevailing literature, the SH groups are the “fingers” viruses use to open and enter your cells.
7.) Ozone is extremely reactive oxygen. It will strip the H off the SH as follows:
SH + SH +O3 > S-S = H2O + O2.
This is called “oxidation”. If the SH groups are oxidized to S-S, the virus is inactivated. Alterations of these sulfhydryl residues will change the virus’ biochemical activity, altering their three-dimensional structure and have been found to “Cripple” virus growth properties.8 This should enable you to mount a proper and fast immune defense and dispatch the invader without significant damage to you!
The only residual product is oxygen and water, which your body utilizes, so no toxicity whatsoever!
In experimental models and existent clinical studies, homeostasis of the free radical and antioxidant balance by Ozone Therapy was associated with a modulation of NF-κ B/Nrf2 balance and IL-6 and IL-1β expression. These molecular mechanisms support the cytoprotective effects of ozone therapy against tissue damage present in many inflammatory diseases, including viral infections. 9
8.) Ozone Increases the Activity of your “Anti-Oxidant Enzyme Systems.10
9.) Ozone Kills Cancer cells on contact.
10.) Ozone can be anti-aging!11
WHERE DOES OZONE COME FROM?
Ozone is created in nature and can also be created by machines called ozone generators.
Natural Ozone
In nature, Ozone is created near the edge up space when Ultraviolet Radiation (UV) coming from the sun makes contact with the oxygen in the atmosphere. The energy from the UV is imparted to the oxygen and turns some of the oxygen (O2) into Ozone (O3). The layer of Ozone that is created is referred to as “The Ozone Layer”. The Ozone Layer is not only created by UV’s interaction with oxygen, but it also protects the Earth from UV rays coming from the sun. If it was not for the Ozone Layer, life as we know it would not exist on planet Earth.
Ozone is also created here at ground level, in many different places and by different processes. For example Ozone is created when UV light from the sun interacts with water spray and foam in waves. It is also created by water falls. Have you ever wondered why the air smells so fresh by the sea side or by a water fall? It is because there is ozone in the air in these areas.
Isn’t ozone “smog”? So isn’t’ ozone toxic?
On hot days in cities, they always report the smog levels. If the smog levels are high they warn elderly and those of ill health to stay indoors. How do they measure the smog levels? The problem with smog is that ‘smog’ is actually a complex ever-changing mixture of toxic gasses and particles. Since the constituents of smog are changing all the time, it is very difficult to measure it accurately. Early on it was noted that when smog levels are high, it is accompanied by a high level of ozone in the air. When smog levels are low, there is a low level of ozone in the air. We can all thank Mother Nature for the Ozone, as it is there to destroy (oxidize) the toxic chemicals in smog and return the air to a breathable status. But since ozone is so easy to measure, scientists gave up trying to measure smog and instead rely on ozone levels to indicate how much smog is in the air. Since they are measuring ozone levels, the word “Ozone” became synonymous with ‘smog’ and everyone gets the idea that ozone is toxic (which of course, it is not).
Ozone is also created by thunderstorms. The lightning you see in the sky is a discharge of energy that had been building in the thundercloud. When the lightning bolt contacts the air, some of the oxygen (O2) in the air is turned into Ozone (O3). That fresh clean smell you experience during and after a thunderstorm is actually the smell of ozone.
Ozone Made by Machines
In the late 1800’s it was found that ozone could be made artificially by exposing air to. The more energy you exposed the air to, the more ozone you can create. The machine used to create the ozone was simply referred to as an ‘ozone generator’. There are thousands of different ozone generators on the market, and hundreds of different ways to design and build them. They typically use two different types of technologies to generate the ozone: UV (Ultraviolet Radiation) and an electrical discharge method commonly referred to as Corona Discharge. While UV is simple to understand and use, the applications are limited due to the relatively low ozone output capabilities of a UV ozone generator. Since Medical Ozone Therapy requires relatively high ozone concentrations, the UV Technology is therefore usually reserved for very light water purification or air purification. Higher concentrations of ozone are available from the Corona Discharge technologies, but because there are hundreds of very different Corona Discharge technologies, they are more difficult to understand. The difficulty in understanding how they work makes it more difficult for the average consumer to know if they are purchasing the proper ozone generator or not.
Because of the complexities of ozone generators, it would be best if you read as much as you can before making a purchase. If you wish to know more about how an ozone generator works, and which ones are suitable for your application, you should first investigate all of the Corona Discharge technologies, make sure you know if the proper technology is in the ozone generator that you are considering purchasing. You must also ensure that the ozone, when inside the machine, does not come into contact with any components that are plastic, rubber, or metal, otherwise the ozone that is produced could be toxic. You also need to ensure that the ozone generator produces the proper ozone concentrations, or strengths of ozone, otherwise it simply will not work for you.12
THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF OZONE
The year 1840 is given as the year in which ozone was discovered by a professor of physics and chemistry, Christian Friedrich Schönbein – a contemporary of famous scientists such as Volta, Jenner, Dalton, Ampere, Fraunhofer, Ohm, and Faraday, to name a few.
In 1857, with the invention of the “superior induction tube” by Werner von Siemens, the first technical ozone unit was constructed. Thereafter, Dr. Kleinmann carried out his earliest bacteriological trials on pathogenic germs and the first ozone insufflations, subsequently testing the influence of ozone on animal and human mucous membranes.
Exactly 100 years after, Joachim Hänsler developed the first medical ozone generator to make accurate dosing of ozone/oxygen mixtures possible, thus, opening up a wide spectrum of therapeutic applications.13
Is Ozone therapy safe?
Given the right training and understanding of its use and application, the answer is, Absolutely yes! The ozone molecule alone is a strong oxidant, but it is clinically administered in low doses and controlled treatments. 8
Recent evidence has shown that treatment with a low concentration of ozone in cultured cells promotes nuclear translocation of Nrf2 at the chromatin sites of active transcription and increases the expression of antioxidant response element (ARE)-driven genes. This is responsible for increased mitochondrial function with reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation. Importantly, evidence has shown that ozone-induced ARE activation can be reverted by the ectopic expression of the Nrf2 specific inhibitor Kelch-like ECH associated protein (Keap1), thus proving the role of the Nrf2 pathway in the antioxidant response induced by mild ozonisation.14
Is Ozone safe when combined with conventional therapies?
The Ozone molecule, on its own, has a very limited life. But its effect on immune regulation could be so profound and has, in fact, significantly helped long term outcomes both for the acutely and chronically ill patients.
Even though advances in our understanding of immune function and regulation have allowed a greater intellectual understanding of the potential mechanism of aberrant immune function in diseases, the extraordinary complexity of the immune system, with its various inductive regulatory and feedback mechanisms, has made it clear to clinical investigators that perturbation of the system by pharmaceutical agents used for therapeutic purposes may have multifaceted effects on the system – some of which might be unpredictable, resulting in temporary dampening of the expression of the disease process, yet the adverse effects far outweighs the resultant short-sighted efficacy. Nonetheless, despite these general caveats, certain immunoregulatory agents have been successful with biological agents and 02/03 therapy given in low dose and appropriately employed, resulting in impressive results.15

What is Autonomic Response Testing (ART)?
Autonomic Response Testing is a simple, yet highly effective biofeedback assessment technique used to determine disturbances in your body and possible remedies that your body biologically accepts. The foundational principle is that muscles become tight when stressed, by virtue of nerve stimuli, and relaxed when not.1
It is an extension of the physical exam – an advanced form of muscle testing. Muscle testing has been used by thousands of practitioners for many years and used primarily by doctors of chiropractic background beginning in the late 1960′s. ART has taken the art and science of muscle testing to an entirely different level. For the clinicians who find themselves working with more difficult and confusing cases, ART offers a fairly quick and amazingly accurate method of digging deeper, providing a more accurate path to choose, and saving huge amounts of patient time and money for diagnostic work up.2
ART is non-invasive, non-electronic, and can be used to assess people of any age. It is a most valuable functional assessment tool in determining the root cause of health disturbances.
The “autonomic” in ART refers to the autonomic nervous system. This is the part of the nervous system responsible for all the automatic functions of your body, day in and day out, such as your heartbeat, rise and fall of blood pressure, breathing, digestion, assimilation of our nutrients, detoxification of the body’s toxins, healing, balancing of our hormones, proper immune system responses and many more that maintain life function. Detectable and treatable problems within this part of your nervous system are present in all body dysfunction and all chronic diseases.3 ARTesting is an extremely efficient way of evaluating the body’s autonomic nervous system’s response to a specific stressor or a group of stressors.
Modern disease conditions, caused by unprecedented levels of toxic stressors, have become progressively more complex. The most commonly accessible diagnostic systems often fail to meet the needs of the modern patient. We can analyze the complexity of our own kind in a way no synthetic or third party process can. Pioneers of the modern biofeedback community have thus developed intricate physical exams, able to evaluate the current state of a person’s autonomic nervous system and bio-photon field. These exams reveal extremely valuable information concerning a person’s health and the most effective strategies for restoring it to its optimal state.4
Biophysicists such as Fritz-Albert Popp, PhD, have discovered that the body produces photons of light called biophotons. These biophotons are stored and released from the nucleus of our body’s 70 trillion cells. And these biophotons carry information within and between cells. Dr. Popp has written and published eight books and more than 150 articles in scientific journals (International Institute of Biophysics) about these. Our body’s biofield is an accumulation of electromagnetic frequencies emitted from all of our cells, tissues, organs, and glands. Also called the bio-photon field, it is the summation of photons being emitted in and around our body. It is an organized manifestation of visible and ultraviolet light that is imperative to our cellular communication systems and thus all biological processes. The ANS receives information from our biofields.
A great analogy here is how light is used with fiber-optics to carry the electromagnetic signal of our voice to someone in Europe, for example. Light carries information in the form of electromagnetic signals. Scientists have calculated that one color of a beam of light can carry 200 terabits (terabit = one trillion bits) of information per second. (The entire Library of Congress has only 30 terabits of information in it). 5 It is this light that we utilize in ART to get information from the body.
Autonomic Response Testing (ART) and Matrix Reflex Testing (MRT), developed by Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD, and Louisa Williams, ND, respectively, are the most sophisticated developments of this kind of biofeedback testing, allowing the practitioner to evaluate and engage in a patient’s health unlike no other diagnostic system.
Treatment of the underlying issues using remedies also identified with ART to be compatible to the patient, corrects the function of the autonomic nervous system and bio-photon field, allowing the body to self-regulate and self-heal. Attending to these “blockages to cure” is an imperative aspect of restoring our innate healing intelligence to create optimal wellness.6
How does ART work?
Small samples of toxins like heavy metals, microbial-derived frequencies, foods and preparation of food additives, vials of environmental and microbial toxins are just some of the stressors we use with ART. These substances are introduced into the patient’s biofield with the help of specialized light-transmitting devices called Signal Enhancers. There is no direct physical contact with the potential stressor. Only electromagnetic signals of the substances carried by photons of light are allowed into the biofield. If the body recognizes any of these signals as a stressor, through a neurological process carried from the ANS to the brain and the brain back to the body, a change in muscle tone can be observed. This change in muscle tone can be evaluated with a very simple muscle test. Because there are no two of us exactly alike, the treatment will vary with each individual. ART is also very effective in helping the practitioner to detect the uniqueness in each patient and help to determine the most efficacious treatment plan. Although the diagnosis might be very similar between patients, it is extremely rare that any two individuals receive exactly the same treatment protocols. We are all clinically, genetically, socially, environmentally, and fundamentally unique.7
