About JUDY
Judy Ryan is a cancer "treatment" survivor of over 4 decades. At 17, she was diagnosed & treated at UCLA for rhabdomyosarcoma, a malignant facial tumor that occupied the entire left side of her face (& pushed inside her mouth between her teeth) from temple to chin. After 4 months of damaging radiation & chemotherapy treatments, she was given 6 months to a year to live. No hope, recommendations, or options were offered.
Then the unlikely occurred...she ended chemo because of its deteriorating effects and after a month of being toxic-free she started to recover, and has not seen an oncologist since!
Tragically, there was irreversible damage from the radiation: permanent hair loss to left third of her scalp, complete loss of hearing in her left ear, damage & blindness in her left eye, aged & damaged skin, a fused jaw that reduced the opening between her teeth to 1/4"...and more. The next 3 years were spent working part-time, going to college & graduating Magna Cum Lauda with a BS in Fashion Merchandising. Her retail career covered store management, assistant buying, allocation, planning & analysis, & worked for the Disney Stores corporate 26 years. During her 20s & 30s she underwent 20+ reconstructive surgeries, many of which backfired, including facial paralysis.
Judy's focus has been & always will be to help others appreciate their difference and for everyone to approach conventional medicine with caution...because the results can often be worse than what ails you.

A Face In Time ~~ 20th Anniversary Edition
Available on amazon!
There is a beginning & an end to cancer: the “beginning” is all about the disease and treatment & the “end” is all about whether someone lives or dies. But what about those in the “middle” – the inbetweeners who lived but suffered serious lifelong consequences from the “treatment” – consequences they never knew would change their life! What about them?
A Face In Time is about the beginning, middle, & end for Judy when diagnosed with a malignant facial tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma (in 1977) at the age of 17. She had no idea that Western medicine would betray her when seeking help. She had no idea that radiologists & oncologists would almost kill her with treatment or radical surgery. She (nor her parents) ever knew that radiation would fuse her jaw, destroy the vision in her left eye, destroy her skin and hearing in her left ear, and cause her to lose one-third or her hair. That was her “beginning.”
What about the middle? She had no idea that 65% of the reconstructive surgeries and repair she underwent years later (damage caused by radiation treatment) would cause more harm, including facial paralysis! Judy is not the only one whose story is never heard. For decades, many never wanted to know that treatment can kill or injure, and many never survived like Judy because she ended all her treatment (when her prognosis was only 6-month to 1 year to live) and inhumane care.
A Face In Time was published in 2004: the story covers 1976-1998, from the time she developed the lump (at 16) to 1998 (at 38) – when she underwent her last reconstructive surgery. It also carries you through her life with family, friends, and work…and all the medical interruptions. This Anniversary Edition has some add-ons: including an Afterword which captures the last 20 years (2003-2023), revealing emotional and ongoing dental complications.
Her memoir is here to open your minds and a dialogue about the in-betweeners – the reality of how millions have endured the unthinkable – accepting the unexpected lifelong damage from treatment. It’s never okay to hide the truth, and the truth is what Judy will share with you.

Cancer Treatment Beware: What you need to know!
Sharing data taken from Mayo Clinic’s website – one of the leading cancer hospitals in the country
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cancer/in-depth/cancer-survivor/art-20045524
I am “not” sharing this to endorse Mayo Clinic; I’m sharing this because “late effects” have not been taken seriously! Late effects are "not" rare, but conversations about cancer treatment's serious health consequences are!!
What cancer treatments cause late effects: Late effects of cancer treatment can come from any of the main treatment types. These include chemotherapy, hormone therapy, radiation, surgery, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. As newer cancer treatments become available, these might be found to cause late effects, too.
| Treatment | Late effects |
| Chemotherapy | Dental problems, Early menopause, Hearing loss, Heart problems, Increased risk of other cancers, Infertility Loss of taste, Lung disease, Nerve damage, Memory issues, Osteoporosis Problems with digestion, Reduced lung capacity |
| Radiation therapy | Cavities and tooth decay, Early menopause, Heart and vascular problems, Hypothyroidism, Increased risk of other cancers, Increased risk of stroke, Infertility, Intestinal problems, Lung disease, Lymphedema, Memory issues, Osteoporosis |
| Surgery | Lymphedema |
| Hormone therapy | Blood clots, Hot flashes, Increased risk of other cancers, Menopausal symptoms, Osteoporosis, Sexual side effects |
| Immunotherapy | Joint or muscle problems |
| Targeted therapy | Blood clots, Heart and vascular problems |
What are the late effects of treatment for childhood cancer? People who underwent cancer treatment as children may be at risk of many of the same late side effects that can happen after cancer treatment in adults. Childhood cancer survivors may be at risk of additional late side effects. That's because children's bones, tissues and organs grow quickly. Cancer treatment can interfere during this critical time of growth. Late side effects in childhood cancer survivors depend on the type of cancer and treatment. The age at which you were treated may determine what late side effects, if any, you might have.
Childhood cancer survivors experience some of these late side effects:
- Heart problems, including a higher risk of heart attack
- Blood vessel problems, including a higher risk of stroke
- Lung problems, which can cause difficulty breathing
- Liver problems
- Kidney problems
- Cataracts Bone problems, such as joint pain and bone thinning, which is also called osteoporosis
- Short stature, caused by slow bone growth
- Obesity Infertility
- Memory issues and learning disabilities
- Vision loss
- Hearing loss
- Thyroid problems
- Increased risk of other types of cancers
- Nerve damage

If you, a family member or friend have been advised to undergo standard cancer treatment, do you want yourself or others to risk further health challenges down the road -- including "other types of cancers"?
My choice? I will never again inflict pain & poison in my body from standard cancer treatments -- that is what I consider self-inflicted cruelty! I'm living multiple health conditions from radiation because my parents & I were "never" told there were serious health risks later in life! But now you know! Do not allow a deadly prognosis generate fear & unclear thinking! Safe options are available! I am not the only one who survived because I walked away from the death sentence of chemotherapy.
You have an advantage that I never did; you know the "dangers" of standard treatment -- dangers that can perpetuate & create another dis-ease. You have an advantage to make a wise decision! ❤️

Carrie Madej Tribe Talk videoEMF: Smoke & Mirrors
More deception, illusion, and trickery
By Judy Ryan
September 2025
One of the world’s greatest health risks of our time began in the late 19th century and blossomed in the 1920s – cigarettes! The social, stylish alure was marketed with glamour and delight! Ads tragically featured pregnant women; celebrities like Lucile Ball; handsome cowboys for the Marlboro brand, and doctors, yes doctors! One of Camel’s ads featured a doctor with the heading, “Give your throat a vacation. Smoke a fresh cigarette.” Seriously? And one last insane indoctrination from the Lucky Stike brand, “Get Lucky.” Really??
Why would I begin this EMF article with the madness of cigarettes (a separate, sinister tale of how “chemicals” caused the harm, not the nicotine!). Because the “invisible” radiation has been sold in the same positive, convincing fashion! Inhaling toxic smoke seemed harmless back in the day and radiation emitting products have also been pitched as exciting and harmless!
Here’s a reminder of the overreaching hype: T-Mobile: “We've got the largest, fastest, most advanced 5G network. With more towers, more bandwidth, and a signal that goes farther.” Or…boost mobile: “5G ON TAP -- We built thousands of cellular towers across the country. Or wherever you may find yourself.” And, of course, you have recommendations from Tom’s Guide: “Our favorite 5G phones offer more than just speedier downloads. The best 5G phones also feature outstanding cameras, big displays and super-sized batteries that deliver all-day battery life.”
More what? Fastest what? Why is there no mention of more & fast radiation and the risk of unwellness in this country? Why are EMF industries leaving this out? Electric wireless devices: laptops, keyboards, mouses, copiers, earbuds, TVs, 5G towers, substations, newer cars with assorted wireless components, and more – are collectively taking a toll on our health.
Of the two companies I mentioned above, they offer no health warnings or protective devices. And if you speak to a live person on the phone (as I did), asking what they’re doing to inform and protect the public, they stumble because they don’t know what to say! At least, the woman I spoke to at boost mobile said she would forward my concerns to management. Whether boost will blow smoke on my questions (not being facetious), I don’t know. Chances are they will.
The Quick Spread of Radiation
Once millions were aware in the 1950s of the dangers (primarily lung cancer) from cigarettes, ads shifted from desirable to dangerous. Unfortunately, even though the next generation was avoiding a smoke, “evil” didn’t skip a beat and EMF was right behind…growing at lighting speed.
The 1970s was the beginning of a new era – a new virus, one we idolized: personal computers, cell phones and microwaves! It was a time when everyone had access to more information but had less time to source “real” information. Everything was bright and shiny, and in 1997 Wi-Fi (radio waves that transmit information) debuted. Similar to cigarettes, when dangerous chemicals were never revealed as additives (shall we say), radiation emissions have never been a cautionary tale when devices are sold!
Even though the harm of radiation emissions is being shared more often, unlike cigarettes, convincing others of the danger will take time. Why? Because there are no “obvious” signs – no smells, no smoke, no colored residue left on windows and walls to trigger one’s curiosity or concern; it’s all “smoke and mirrors!” Only research, knowledge, and word-of-mouth will encourage the public to install “effective” protective devices (which I’ve added below) in their home to remediate the junk.
We are entering into a frightening time of unwell. To hell with radiation emissions! Millions can’t help but believe, “If EMF was really bad, the products wouldn’t be on the market! Everything is tested for safety. Those who consider microwaves, cell phones, laptops, and dozens of other things as ‘unsafe,’ are afraid of their own shadow, and probably conspiracy theorists!”
The decline of health in this country will only get worse if we “don’t” pay attention. If you have a condition with an unknown cause and reach out to urgent care, ER, or a doctor…what will they do when they don’t know what’s wrong? When in doubt, a doctor will write you a prescription for an antibiotic – the solve-nothing ineffective drug.
In case you’re unaware, here are some common symptoms that EMF radiation can cause: headaches, migraines, fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus, muscle weakness, eye strain, skin rashes, chest pain, and weakened immune system. I could go on and on because the laundry list is long. Unfortunately, our bodies are being altered without knowing and without any discussion from mainstream news or manufacturers (of course!).
How Life Once Was
Some may call me old fashioned and resistant to change, but they’re wrong! I may be “older,” but older and wiser – someone who is not off the rails, and wants to leave you with thoughts of how so-called “growth” has contributed to unnecessary emotional and physical harm. When I attended high school & college (in the mid-late 1970s), I functioned successfully and without the health risks of:
Personal computers & laptops
Term papers were prepared either on a “typewriter” or were “handwritten.” Both required careful attention & research that was found in encyclopedias or books in a library. A student had to think and use their mind – a concept that is rare today in schools.
In addition, I had to reference a dictionary to check my “spelling” – another concept that is foreign to students whose laptops do the work for them. And whenever research is needed, they can google for their answers & find what they need in minutes.
Cell phones
As a teen, I spoke to one of my girlfriends on the phone (a landline!), every other day after school. That was it. The rest of my time was spent doing homework & practicing my violin. In other words, I had valuable personal & productive time.
Cell phones became addictive & excessive with teens in the early 2000s. It’s now out of control, causing serious social & emotional harm. If the creation of cell phones was up to me, phone service would have been its only function – nothing more! And that would have applied to everyone: children and adults!
And for those of you who drive while talking & texting on the cell phone -- it's been one of the greatest distractions & causes of car accidents! I was rear-ended twice by careless drivers: one slowly rolled into me at a stop light & the second...while I was waiting to drive through a car wash! Both were texting on their cell phone! Another smoking gun, courtesy of the EMF industry!
GPSs
The Thomas Book of Maps was a family favorite when growing up & became my navigating friend when I started driving in the 1980s. It gave me a clear vision of where I was headed. Again, it caused me to explore & think.
Now, a GPS will tell you where to turn & where to go. You’re allowed to be brainless.
Microwaves
Thankfully, my family never owned a microwave when I grew up. My parents didn’t purchase one until their late 70s. As adults, my siblings love this speedy devise…but for me? I used them rarely (not until my 50s) & now refuse to use them at all.
Microwavable frozen food (filled with unknown ingredients) became the new normal, causing safe, organic, healthy food preparation an exception.
The indoctrination of fast & convenient food preparation made these electromagnetic ovens indispensable. And God help us now that smart ovens exist & emit more Wi-Fi radiation exposure!
~~~~~~~
Bottom line, we don’t “need” any of this bull s—t, and unfortunately, we’ve been conditioned to “want” it…and want all of it! Here we are, brainwashed to the max, accepting radiation as it permeates our body day after day, year after year, until finally, like cigarettes, when it’s too late, a dis-ease erupts in our body, and we’re clueless about the cause.
Most progress in this country came with a price. AI is another example of something we don’t need but are told we do (which, to me, is Nazistic). Our engagement with humans will become more scarce as jobs and our need to think is eliminated. Some of you may remember Ray Bradbury’s incredibly insightful book (published in 1953), Fahrenheit 451.
For those of you who are not familiar, the key character, Guy Montag is a fireman. In order that you understand its relevance, I will share a brief summary of the book (from Sparknotes/an online study guide), “In Montag’s world, firemen start fires rather than putting them out. The people in this society do not read books, enjoy nature, spend time by themselves, think independently, or have meaningful conversations. Instead, they drive very fast, watch excessive amounts of television on wall-size sets, and listen to the radio on “Seashell Radio” sets attached to their ears.”
Bradbury imagined this 72 years ago; a theme that is similar to ours and where we’re heading – a world where we’re distanced from books and human contact, and people who are absent of purpose and only connect and absorb single channeled information.
What do “you” want? Convenience? Speed? New gadgets? If your desire is to keep in step with the latest and greatest, while never investigating their consequences, then you’re living the life of a child. You’re a complacent follower who wants to be told what to do.
Or…do you want to be a thinker? Someone who seeks good health? Someone who uses their smartphone discriminantly. Someone who is “not” afraid to challenge companies selling EMF products without preventative emission devices? Someone who challenges matters that do not make sense and seek to set them right? Or, someone who loves to hold a book in their hands versus a radiation emitting eBook.
What “do” you want? Because if you’re happy with a robotic, brainless, unwell life, you’re living a downward spiraling smoke and mirrors existence. And if that is “not” what you want, then do something & say something in order to change something about the health risks we’re facing! Let me offer a few ways to start:
- Reach out to your local School District and ask if their students’ laptops have protective EMF “chips” attached. If they don’t, ask why!
- Reach out to one or more Real Estate agents, suggesting they add the distance of 5G towers & substations from the homes, condos, & townhouses for sale or rent. And/or, recommend they add the antennasearch.com website to their sites so potential buyers or renters will know what they’re surrounded by – giving them the opportunity to know what EMF protective devices they need.
- Simple changes: do “not” endorse & purchase fast food that is prepared with a microwave & “stop” using the one you have! Microwaves are all about “speed.” Being in such a hurry all the time causes us to make mistakes, & using the microwave is one of the greatest mistakes we’ve ever made!
Highly Recommended EMF Expert & Products
I’ve never been one to endorse companies, but in this case, because I came across Ted McCullough who is an expert in the EMF field, I highly recommend you seek his knowledgeable, advice and products!
One amazing device I purchased from him was the, the Room Harmonizer; it was a game changer that eliminated (within 2 days of plugging it into a regular electrical outlet) odd stinging sensations in the left side of my face.
For years I’ve lived with tiny metal staples in the left side of my face (a product of reconstructive surgery); it was something I never thought of…until the stinging started and then stopped.
Once we’re aware of the invisible, and know how to protect ourselves, we’re doing our bodies a great service!
Please protect yourself!

Ozone: Another “silenced” source of healing!
By Judy Ryan
November 2024
Introduction: My Ozone Discovery
It was God-guided (not by chance) when several months ago (in June), I was determined to find a naturopathic dentist and stumbled upon (online) one who I was skeptical of but instinctively knew I had to speak to. After being around 64 years -- accepting care all my life from traditional dentists (with regrets), it was time to seek a dentist outside the box.
I suffered uncommon dental challenges the past 47 years after my jaw was fused (with a ½” opening between my teeth) from damaging radiation treatment to the entire left side of my head & neck (at 17); a story that is far too long to share. Even though I’ve always been a curious & cautious soul (one of the reasons I’m still alive), I unfortunately had faith & trust in standard dentists. I say unfortunate because knowing what I know now, I have to ask myself, “Did I have to lose 11 teeth?” Fast forward to the last couple years and I became more aware of naturopathic dentists who offered alternative restoration for teeth & gums vs common tooth “removal” & popular dental implants (a “growing” money-making business!).
In June, when I encountered an unusual dental condition -- a foul leakage from the upper left side of my mouth, I knew that standard dentists would be clueless & either prescribe an antibiotic or recommend the area be biopsied. I knew the drill. So, when I discovered Dr. Emma Abramyan’s website (who goes by Dr. Emma), I was intrigued because not only was she a biological dentist but was an ozone therapist. Ozone therapist? I was puzzled how “ozone” missed my personal tracking system for safe, alternative treatments.
Because Dr. Emma offered excellent data on her site, defining ozone & its methods, I was fascinated & when I called to share what I was dealing with, she had every desire to help. Her first question was, “Do you have a recent cone beam CT you can bring or send to my office?” If you’re not familiar (I was vaguely familiar), in my own simple terms: a cone beam is an X-ray (similar to a dental panoramic X-ray that spins around your head) that is used primarily for oral & maxillofacial needs, providing an amazing 3-D view of your skull & tissue -- helping doctors identify the areas needing repair. Because I didn’t have a CT scan, having one taken was going to be my first step when seeing Dr. Emma; it would help her locate the source of the foul leakage.
As I mentioned earlier, I was intrigued by ozone & Dr. Emma -- so much so that, even though I lived in AZ, I had no problem traveling to California to see her. Well, let me tell you -- meeting Dr. Emma far exceeded my expectations! She was thorough when questioning my health history & reviewed the cone beam results with me in detail, which was a bit creepy because it showed what I knew but never saw: I was missing most of the bones on the left side of my face (again, part of my long cancer/radiation treatment story). Dr. Emma’s recommendation? Ozone injections to the upper area of my mouth – possibly 3 injections in the front, middle, & back. She explained there would be no after effects, but a little initial pain from the injections. Once she explained what the injections were capable of, I agreed.
Ozone has a very distinct smell. Not a bad one, but a smell that is strong & slightly annoying -- something I will never complain about. I’ll now jump to the unexpected: I was staying with my sister, brother-in-law, & nephew while in California, and when my sister picked me up, she wasn’t fully confident about this “different” kind of doctor & treatment, & I was cautiously optimistic. Dr. Emma said she could not forecast how long it might take for me to notice a change so I did my best to be patient. But being patient was not necessary because shortly after the injections, the leak stopped! I stayed with my sister the rest of the week to be on the safe-side, should the leak reoccur, but it never did! It was gone! Never, in my lifetime…never did I encounter such an instant, harmless cure! I have no doubt that I will always reflect on this treatment as “magical,” because it was!
The Crime of Silence
The reason I decided to share my experience before discussing what “ozone” actually is & what it can do is because, despite my relative knowledge of alternative healthcare modalities, I was angered that dentists, oral surgeons, & periodontists “never” mentioned ozone! And the question was, “why”? Why was ozone not well known or publicized, especially when it’s been around for over a century? It’s also worth mentioning (if you haven’t already noticed) that dentistry has turned into a circus with offices everywhere and dentists (I suspect) who are minimally educated & still practicing harmful root canals. When I returned home after my magical treatment, I searched for more information on ozone & found a number of YouTube videos that offered assorted examples of its use – some that went back as far as 12 years. It was unfortunate that on one of the videos, when a very expert doctor was being interviewed & asked why he thought ozone wasn’t well known, his response was: “I don’t know.” Sadly, I suspect he was protecting his image & credibility – claiming to be innocent of the obvious…it was all about money!
It was clear that ozone is no different than ivermectin, laetrile, & dozens of other safe & effective, affordable treatments that are capable of eliminating health conditions without perpetuating frequent, unnecessary doctor appointments, ineffective prescriptions, & antibiotics. All were “silenced” & considered “unproven” and their benefits had to be suppressed because they didn’t provide the revenue that “well known” junk can generate…& most important, ozone was not “official” & FDA approved! Money has always been the reason why cancer cures have never been exposed, & why successful, powerful treatments like ozone have been kept low on the medical radar!
Here’s one clear example of how its use is “questioned” & “discouraged” to the public: Below is the introduction to an article on ozone found online: MedicalNewsToday, by Tom Seymour (May 24, 2023):
Ozone therapy is a controversial alternative medicine practice that uses ozone gas to fight disease. Currently, there is not enough evidence to conclude that it is effective or safe for medical use…In 2019, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned against using ozone therapy. This is because there is not enough evidence to conclude that it is effective or safe for medical use.
Even more egregious are the first two sections (a) & (b) in FDA’s Title 21, Volume 8, Subpart H – Medical Devises – & the first 5 words, “Ozone is a toxic gas…” -- words that are intentionally designed to drive the reader into “fear” & “skepticism.”
Next is another statement from the National Institute of Health (NIH)/National Library of Medicine:
The usage of ozone in dentistry has been proposed because of its antimicrobial, disinfectant, biocompatibility and healing properties…Despite these advantages, therapeutic ozone’s application in dentistry is limited because of its possible side effects.
Interesting verbiage: it states the benefits but leaves the reader with suspicion because of its possible side effects!
And finally, one last comment from the Cleveland Clinic/health essentials site:
In 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning against using ozone therapy. This is because there isn’t enough evidence yet to prove that it’s effective or safe, says pulmonologist Vickram Tejwani, MD. “There may potentially be a role for ozone therapy someday, but right now it hasn’t been studied enough,” says Dr. Tejwani. “We need more data on the potential side effects, which could be severe, before we start offering it as a mainstream therapy or treatment.”
All statements are offensive! And the common, outrageous thread that runs through them all: There’s not enough evidence to prove that ozone treatment is save & effective!! Really? One of the top medical ozone experts in the US is, Dr. Frank Shallenberger, who is considered the “father of ozone therapy” & author of The Ozone Miracle: How You Can Harness The Power Of Oxygen To Keep You And Your Family Healthy. He states in his book, “In the past 30 years more than 2,500 papers on the medical use of ozone have been published in peer reviewed medical and scientific journals.” Not to mention, Ozone and Its Therapeutic Action, a book that was published in 1929 & authored by 40 medical hospital leaders who shared positive results from ozone!
Of course, there’s data (not officially provided by the FDA!), but when you have doctors like Tejwani who kick the can down the road, they will always make ozone sound potentially unsafe. Interesting, isn’t it, how contradictory this country’s medical industry is -- repressing ozone due to so-called “lack of data,” when Covid vaccines were celebrated to save lives, yet caused irreversible harm & deaths to many (how “many” we will never know since injuries & deaths were never accurately recorded & counted). Still, the false propaganda continues -- encouraging the brainwashed to come back for more!!
No question, “lies” have become second nature in all national health institutes: FDA, CDC, & NIH. There is no greater phrase from our 47th President, Donald J. Trump, when it comes to re-setting our country’s government: “Drain the Swamp.” When RFK assumes his role as Secretary of the Department of Health & Human Services, I trust he will work to reform the corrupt medical bureaucrats & “Drain the Medical Swamp!”
As I mentioned earlier, ozone has been around a very long time & was medically used in the 19th century. There were a number of advancements that unfolded over the years, but I will keep it brief & focus on a few. To begin, in order for ozone therapy to be administered, a generator had to be created. This devise transports oxygen through a tube (with an electrical current) so 3 magical atoms (otherwise known as O3) can be produced & administered to the body in a variety of ways. Werner von Siemens, a German electrical engineer, was the first to create the device in 1857, & fast forward to 1896, Nikola Tesla, a brilliant inventor (who moved from Croatia to New York in 1884), not only patented & sold his first ozone generators, but founded the Tesla Ozone Company & was the first to develop ozonated olive oil.
According to PurO3 (a current leader in ozonated oils), the surgeon general approved ozonated olive oil (otherwise named Glycozone) for healing purposes: inflammation, wrinkles, & pigmented skin spots, to name a few, but once the FDC took over, pharmaceuticals led the way & ozone products fell by the wayside. Since then, there has been a very slow emergence/awareness of ozone & it’s benefits. Until it is “officially” tested & documented by the FDC (which is highly unlikely), it will remain hidden & suppressed.
By the way: According to World Popular Review (WPR), the independent for-profit organization that delivers up-to-date global population data & demographics, “There are currently 14 countries that allow ozone therapy, a controversial medical treatment that involves inhaling a variant of oxygen gas.” It’s no surprise that WPR would have to undermine ozone’s approval in multiple countries by noting that it’s controversial! Bottom line, the US, world, & national organizations cannot admit that ozone is beneficial & it’s a disgrace that so many countries allow the therapy & the US does not!
Should you become more educated on the use & application of these oxygen atoms, you might want to consider purchasing a generator for personal home care! Imagine being your own doctor or nurse & using the generator not only for health issues, but for preventive care! Exercise caution, however, when purchasing this device –- in order that it operate at its peak performance, it must fulfill a number of specified guidelines. Dr. Shallenberger provides the best details on what to look out for in his book (which I mentioned earlier & is noted below in Resources).
Cost? I explored Southern Star Scientific online (also recommended by Dr. Shallenberger) to explore a few options & the prices ranged from $1,295 to $5,795 (without accessories). All things considered, if I chose the EXT50 model which is the least expensive, that could be a very worthy investment (with a potential life expectancy of 20 years) -- models that are considered the highest quality in the industry.
Therapies & Treated Conditions
Here you will find a range of ozone therapies & health conditions, along with some websites you can visit below (under Resources). Ozone not only excels at disinfecting areas afflicted with bacteria, viruses, & fungus, but it also regenerates tissues without harming healthy tissue!
When ozone treatments are used in conjunction with chemotherapy & other prescription drugs, harmful and/or painful after effects can often be minimized or eliminated. There are a generous number of methods in which ozone can be administered, and not all are listed below. Also noting, you will often see the word “insufflation” – this is a method when ozone gas is blown into the necessary body cavity through a tube.
- Injections (what I received)
- Ear insufflation
- Intestinal insufflation
- Bladder insufflation
- Ozone breathing
- Ozone saunas
- Ozone flush
- Ozone saline drips
- Major autohemotherapy
And below is a mere sampling of health conditions that ozone therapy has been successful in healing and/or improving.
- Colds & flus (ear & intestinal insufflation is used)
- Eye infections (Macular degeneration can improve when treated early with intestinal insufflation)
- Dental infections & Periodontal disease (syringe filled with ozone & injected in the mouth to swish around is practiced)
- Bladder infections (bladder insufflation is used)
- Cancer (helps reduce side effects when receiving radiation or chemotherapy)
- Shingles (with early use of intestinal insufflation, pain & length of disease can decrease)
- Diabetes (enhances results & helps prevent complications from diabetes therapies)
- Wounds & Ulcers (aided with use of ozone gas & ozonated olive oil application)
Summary & Self-Care
I trust that most readers know that Wikipedia is often filled with contrary data, & that of course includes ozone: “Ozone therapy has been sold as an unproven treatment for various illnesses, including cancer, a practice which has been characterized as "pure quackery." As I already mentioned, evil is deeply embedded in our so-called medical industry & has been filtered through every channel of media – filled with lies & contradictions. Discovering this gem for the first time continues to enrage me because I missed out on so many opportunities the last 4+ decades when I encountered so many dental infections! Finding ozone & other safe, effective treatments is like traveling an underground railroad: In order to escape to safer, harmless treatments you need to continually search, & if you’re lucky you’ll uncover it through word of mouth.
Dr. Shallenberger is quite a realist when it comes to health care & ozone therapy & would like to close with a few of his wise words:
“You are going to have to take matters (health conditions) into your own hands. If you are waiting for the government or the medical industry to solve these problems you might as well dream on…You have the power and the ability to solve these problems. And unleashing the power of ozone is big part of that answer.”
If you’re discovering ozone for the first time, like I have, I hope you will further explore its magical healing potential! Oxygen is essential: it’s the air we breathe & holds countless possibilities to heal our bodies once its atoms are tweaked! There’s no greater gift!

Energy Enhancement Systems (EESystems)
Another "little" known method of healing -- one that someday should overtake standard medical care!
Similar to Ozone therapy, EESystems have not been shared or recommended in hospitals, urgent care, or doctor offices. This was another, unfortunate, late word-of-mouth discovery for me in December of last year (2024).
I will briefly offer a few highlights on what I know & will add more as time goes on. I began sessions in December, had to skip Feb, & returned in March. Tomorrow, March 24th will be my 11th session.
One of the reasons I was alarmed by EESystems was the fact that centers providing this technology have been growing throughout the world the last few years. There are 2 centers in Phoenix -- relatively close to me in Peoria, AZ, making this available for me. Even though I have not experienced any improvements, that has not ruled out my belief that it will! My key focus is to encounter dental improvement with my gums & left eye. Because my health history goes deep, I am patient to give my body time for restoration. You can find centers near you along with more information on the site below:
Please visit Energy Enhancement System: https://www.eesystem.com/
In my simple terms, this system is exactly what is sounds like: it’s all about energy – energy that has been precisely & scientifically designed & entered into panels that emit this specific energy into our bodies as we sit or lie down a minimum of 2 hours (in a dark environment) – allowing the energy to recharge the energy we are lacking.
Depending on each individual’s metabolism & health condition, there can be immediate health healing after the first 2-hour session; for others, it can take multiple sessions. Leading up to & after each session it’s necessary to be well hydrated & within 24 hours of the session, it’s important to to have a very warm Sea Salt detox bath or Foot soak (elevating the water up to your calves) while holding a washcloth pressed against your chest. This will help release any toxins in your body & aid with your healing.
What health healing am I talking about? It’s a broad range including decrease or elimination of pain conditions (pain is possibly the #1 issue that has reversed with many!); dental improvement with possible elimination of gum bleeding; has offered positive sense of calm, joy, & relaxation; improved eye sight; reversal of assorted diseases; age restoration…and more – all accomplished without drugs or side effects!
I look forward to learning more about this technology & sharing it with you along with my outcome!
45-year Anniversary of resilience: 2022!!
MAY 2022
Celebrating over 4 decades of surviving western medicine’s fatal prognosis, damages from toxic treatment & failed surgeries!!
My 17th birthday (May 12, 1977) was bittersweet because the following day I was going to hear the results of a biopsy taken from the left side of my face by a surgeon at UCLA.
Small bits of my backstory are shared on this site, and can viewed at About Judy.
The purpose of sharing my anniversary is to help remind others that the titles of doctors, nurses, surgeons, oncologists, etc. do not define these individuals as life savers or healthcare providers. Their training lacks the skills to find the source of what ails you; offers little, if any, focus on what you eat, and never explores your lifestyle in order to determine if you manifested your current condition, and how to reverse it. Instead, their treatment is often accomplished by writing a prescription…a temporary ‘do-nothing’ that funds pharmaceuticals!
Let me also note that there "are" genuine, caring, and highly skilled practioners. Unfortunately, they are a rare & brave breed -- many of whom have fearlessly stepped outside traditional C-19 guidlines to ensure their patients are well.
Is my story of survival remarkable? Not really...
There are many more out there, just like me, who walked away from traditional western medicine & chose to change their diet, focus on mind/body healing, and boosted their health with safe and natural supplements. Most of all, they believed they had the capacity to be well, and set aside the often somber prognosis & advice of their physician(s).
Below are a few highlights of how my life progressed over the past 45 years:
1977: A fearless beginning! After months of recovery (Sept-Dec 1977) I was left with damaged skin, a sunken cheek, was deaf in my left ear, a progressively painful left eye, my jaw was fused & could not open my mouth wider than 1/4 inch, and was permanently bald on left third of scalp. Sadly, as a teenager, I reluctantly shopped for wigs – the beginning of a semi-annual process I pursued for 10 years!
1978: Despite the patch on my face that disguised my sunken cheek & the wig that I wore (which in those days was not terribly natural looking!), I was hired by a local department store for a part-time sales position. I enrolled with Woodbury University (in Los Angeles) & began my studies for a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Fashion Merchandising, with the desire to be a retail buyer.
1979: Underwent my 1st corrective surgery for my sunken cheek: A silicone prosthesis was implanted to fill my hollow cheek. Not only was silicone not safe to use (silicone was banned 13 years later in 1992), but it resulted with only marginal improvement. I continued studies, while undergoing surgery & recovery. Thankfully, arrangements were made so my father could pick up projects from Woodbury & deliver my completed work. I did not miss a beat!
1980: 2nd corrective surgery for my sunken cheek: A dermal fat graph was performed, with fat harvested from my inner thigh. This too was unsuccessful, giving a lumpy appearance to my cheek.
1981: Graduated Magna Cum Laude & was hired as an Assistant Store Manager at a local specialty store (Susie’s Casuals).
1982: Promoted to Store Manager in Pasadena, and for the first time, moved further from home to rent an apartment that was within walking distance of where I worked. Because my left eye was so damaged from radiation I was extremely light sensitive & regular sunglasses did not provide enough protection. When my father found what I called ‘bubble-bee’ sunglasses (glasses that wrapped around the side of your face & could be worn over your glasses) I was finally able to drive & got my license the end of the year, at 22.
1983: The silicone implant (from 1979) became infected & created a small hole on the upper left side of my face. In addition, despite my efforts to care for my teeth with the limited opening, they were getting infected. The next surgery was to remove the silicone implant, add an omentum graft (apron of fat that protects the abdomen) and attempt to remove scar tissue that constricted my jaw. The omentum graph & removal of the silicone implant were successful. Tragically, however, not only was the procedure to remove the scar tissue that was restricting my jaw unsuccessful, but the surgery contributed to permanent nerve damage & facial paralysis.
1984: Because the store I managed closed down, I reached out to a nearby Department Store (May Company) & was immediately hired as a Department Manager. My face was still sunken on the left side, and searched for other reconstructive surgeons. The two specialists I selected were highly regarded and I (with great regret) agreed to another so-called healthier silicone pack. Despite the dangers of silicone, which was not yet banned, my face was once again infected, and after the implant was removed, my face was more sunken than prior to the surgery – the infection destroyed more fatty tissue.
1985: I continued to work while searching for other reconstructive surgeons.
1986-1987: Finally encountered an incredible reconstructive surgeon (In Chul Song) in New York, who suggested ways to widen my jaw, fill-in my sunken cheek, and restore my scalp to a full head of hair. I spent almost a year in New York, undergoing a number of procedures, and was fortunate to stay with an aunt & uncle. To aid the opening of my mouth, I underwent a condylectomy. To fill my cheek, soft tissue was harvested from my left breast. And, in order to have a full head of hair, I underwent a relatively new procedure -- a tissue expander -- where balloons were inserted on the top & back of my head (where I had hair), and gradually the balloons were inflated with saline in order to stretch the hair-filled scalp over the bald area. This required two surgeries & was a painful, but successful procedure. I was also able to open my mouth slightly wider & undergo needed dental work.
1990-1996: In order to help others with cancer, I became a dedicated volunteer for the American Cancer Society. I visited patents in their homes and spoke to them over the phone, encouraging them with my story of recovery. Unfortunately, because most were considered fatal, they believed their doctors above all else & there was little I could do, especially when they chose to continue receiving their toxic treatment. As years passed, I could no longer participate with ACS because they supported & encouraged conventional toxic treatment.
1991-1998: As time passed, the chronic pain that my left eye suffered grew worse & my journey began with an Ophthalmic Plastic/Reconstructive Surgeon at Jules Stein Eye Center (UCLA). I underwent 8 procedures over the course of 7 years. Each of the early procedures were unsuccessful, and the final approach eliminated the pain but made the eye cosmetically unattractive – scar tissue was placed over the cornea. I would wear a patch over my eye the rest of my life to disguise its appearance.
December of ’91 I was hired as an Allocator for the Disney Stores -- the beginning of a long career.
1992: I had 4 decayed molars on the left side. Before removing them, hyperbaric treatment was required & had to sit in a (submarine style) chamber 10 times prior to the extraction & 10 times after the extraction. I became extremely nauseous after one of the first sessions & had to go to emergency for observation. I recovered & proceeded with the sessions. The extractions were successful.
1998: My cheek was deflating again (the tissue graph had absorbed into my body) & needed to be filled in…again. Found another highly recommended surgeon who would do the first vascular tissue graph – one where circulation would make the graph long lasting. Although that was successful, more scar tissue formed and my lips lifted on the left side. My mouth was crooked and I could no longer completely close my mouth – a condition that could never be corrected, and was the beginning of more challenged eating since most food would fall out of the paralyzed side of my mouth that could not close.
This was my ‘final’ surgery. I was not willing to risk more functional or cosmetic complications.
2000-2005: I gathered years of notes on my health/life journey & wrote my memoir! It’s purpose? To make others aware of how destructive radiation treatment is, and how chemo would have killed me if I continued receiving it. Writing my memoir was no small task, and was blessed to have Makeup Artist, Linda Seidel (who helped disguise the mixed color tones of my face, from surgery, with her specialty foundation) write the Foreword to my book! I spent roughly 6 years writing and organizing the pages of A Face In Time for publication May 2004!
2008-2009: Slowly but surely I was able to get 2 dental implants on the lower right side -- achieved by doctors who were willing -- and when I say ‘willing’ – that is key because it meant these doctors cared enough to do what most would not lift a finger to approach.
2014: Explored the possibility of a jaw replacement with a so-called ‘exceptional’ Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon in California. Unfortunately, not only was the procedure not pleasant (with painful risks) but neither was the egotistical surgeon.
2016: A tooth needed to be removed on the upper left side & had to undergo hyperbaric treatment again to ensure the gum healed. I became sick again (ie: 1992) while in the chamber during one of the sessions, and despite the fact that I shared my nausea with the key technician, he did nothing & said I was fine. Bottomline: I was extremely nauseous when I left the chamber, barely able to get dressed, raise my head, or speak. I was taken to Emergency & given medication for the nausea. This was a disturbing encounter because I was left in the chamber (approx. 45 more minutes) getting progressively worse. Should I have filed a law suit? Absolutely! Unfortunately, and with great regret, I wanted to put this behind me. I was going through a period of deep depression & lacked the strength to take legal action.
2017-2021: I was inspired to write & publish a 4-part fictional series, Tales of Grace -- stories about an 11-year-old girl, Grace Archer, and her life after recovering from facial cancer – based slightly on my journey with the intention to help young girls (and boys) respect their appearance, deal with challenges, and find their self-esteem.
2020-2021: Cataract surgery was needed, a procedure that put me in a spin because I had encountered so many failed surgeries. This time, no mistakes could be made. This was my only eye with vision. I explored 3 specialists before I selected one & when I underwent surgery in October ’20 it was a success! The following year, July ’21, for personal reasons, I chose to take a hiatus & left Disney (noting: from 2000-2004 I left Disney for another retailer that offered me every other Friday off -- time I needed to complete my memoir). Once A Face In Time was published I returned to Disney. Spent 26 years with the Mouse!
2022: I moved to Arizona in March, focused to share & promote my books & investigate more natural health modalities. The importance of all my writing was to help the reader avoid the medical mistakes I made while learning new, safer ways to be well.

VOICES OF THE VACCINATED!
Always be aware, honor, & never forget those who have & continue to suffer from the C-19 vaccines.
They are our Vaccine Veterans!
The end of November 2021, I posted 2 files that I created to assist those who were dealing with health issues as a result of C-19 vaccines. My intention was to add personal data to a PDF file that others could visit and learn from. I shared easy steps on how to navigate the files on a video: "A Village of Voices for the Vaccinated!"
Unfortunately, despite my following, no data was added. What I did discover, however, in December, was an amazing site that offers similar information, but in a different fashion: Real Not Rare
>> Please note: RNR, which has been around now for 3 years is now transitioning on January 5th to the incredible site of: Vaccine Safety Research Foundation.
I hope you will visit VSRF, and if you are someone, or know of someone who is still not well as a result of C-19 vaccines (or other vaccines), I highly encourage you to seek the research & support that is offered by doctors on this site!!
** My sincere wish & hope for everyone is to think critically, be wise & kind to others, and most of all...do not be fearful! **

Health Supplement Support
Offering Liquid Supplements
It's worth noting that over time, radiation treatment contributed to gradual narrowing of my esophagus which made swallowing capsules, tablets and soft gels impossible.
I am grateful for “liquid” supplements because they also absorb better in your body.
Women’s Premiun Multi-Vit (Liquid)
Benefits: Supports heart health, immunity, & muscle function. Promotes energy, focus, longevity, vitality & healthier hair, skin, & nails.
Dosage: 2 Tablespoons daily
Brand I purchase: Tropical Oasis -- https://tropicaloasis.com/
Liquid Boron 6mg:
Benefits: Supports healthy bones & joints.
Dosage: 1 dropper size can be added to juice or food. I add to oatmeal that I have to blend to smooth out the small oat pieces. When blending the oatmeal I add blueberries and when done add a dropper of Boron – flavorless!
Brand I purchase: trace minerals
Biotin (Liquid)
Benefits: Promotes healthy hair, skin, & nails. (Noting: I started losing hair around Mar’24 & this is helping)
Dosage: 1 teaspoon daily

Dental Support
In addition to the specific mouthwash & toothpastes I use, I’m an avid user of the Oral-B toothbrush & Water-Pik. I also rinse “only” with salt water & occasionally brush only with baking soda without aluminum. Occasionally do oil pulling with coconut oil & always do standard flossing & tongue scraping.
On Guard toothpaste:
Benefits: Floride-free with Peppermint, Wintergreen, Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, Rosemary
Brand I purchase: doTERRA -- https://www.doterra.com/
Natural Gum Balm:
Benefits: Unique toothpaste that helps regrow receding gums with Spearmint, Peppermint, Vit C, Potassium Sorbate, Glycerin, Sodium Bicarbonate, Kaolin Clay, D-Limonene, Ascorbic acid, Xanthurm Gum & more.
Brand I purchase: Nature’s Smile -- https://naturessmile.com/
Gum Disease oil:
Benefits: For oral health with proprietary blend of natural plant-base Omega 3 & 9 oils, infused with Clove & Neem. Restorative for: gum infections & inflammation, bleeding gums, gingivitis
Application: Dispense a dropperful of the oil in the mouth, swish around & spit out
Brand I purchase: The Goodbye Company -- https://thegoodbyecompany.com/
Nature’s Smile Oral rinse:
Benefits: Has effective gum protection with Yarrow, Peppermint, Oak bark, & sage
Brand I purchase: Nature’s Smile -- https://naturessmile.com/
PerioProtect:
Also worth mentioning is PerioProtect: Perio Trays are designed to fit over your top & bottom teeth, filled with hydrogen peroxide gel & sit on your teeth 15 minutes, twice a day to improve gum health such as receding gums, gingivitis, periodontitis, & other infectious conditions.
I began this process in July'24, about 9 months ago & even though I have not seen any major improvement, the practice is worth continuing since it helps maintain the health of my teeth & gums. The recession of some of my gums is extreme because so many teeth are missing, unable to sustain the height of other gums, but I am experiencing no discomfort with those teeth or gums.
