What we do

The Oblate Community of St Paul-IOCU was formed in 1968 by our Reverend, Dr. George Freibott IV, ND, MD(H). Dr. Freibott was the President and Lifelong Trustee of the American Naturopathic Association (ANA) in New York and Washington D.C., and Idaho (IDANA). The original ANA was founded in the late 1800s by Dr. Benedict Lust. An oblate community is a community of like-minded people, families and singles, dedicated to the common purpose of “feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and healing the sick”. Our community is faith-based, nondenominational and service oriented dedicated to helping each other and ultimately the planet. We are students (Oblates) of Naturopathy with a common belief in healing with nature rather than chemicals and invasive surgeries. We support ourselves by manufacturing a line of products called “Oxygen Therapies Blass.” Our main product is a nutritional product called “Homozon” developed by Dr. Eugene Blass in the early 20th Century. Homozon works to detox and cleanse the cells of the body and floods the body with oxygen. Dr. Freibott endorsed www.liveoxygen.com as an informational site to inform the public of our products..

Our Vision

There is only a singular focus and that is: we are dedicated to “feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and healing the sick”. Our orientation is as a service oriented group of workers dedicated at helping ourselves; each other, humanity and ultimately the planet.
