Ozone to support better health

Ozone may be helpful for many different types of health problems that have failed to respond to conventional, herbal and nutritional therapies. Ozone is a natural gas made up of 3 oxygen molecules and is generated in nature by UV rays during thunderstorms and lightning, and gives the fresh invigorating smell to the air after a thunderstorm has passed. Ozone is an important component of our atmosphere. Our atmosphere contains 0.01 ppm-0.04 ppm of ozone, which balances the level of bacteria and mildew in nature.

Ozone was discovered in 1840 and its benefits are proven, reliable and reproducible, and it has been found to have minimal side effects. Medical ozone has been used for over 150 years to treat infections, ulcers, wounds and many diseases. During the first world war (1914-18) doctors applied ozone topically to wounds and discovered ozone not only remedied infection, but also had immune boosting properties.

Ozone has been used by dentists for many years to control microbes in their clinics. Ozone is also used by some medical doctors, especially in Europe and the USA, to treat infections. Ozone increases oxygen delivery to tissues and cells, thereby improving immune function.

The first O3 generator was patented by Nikola Tesla in 1896 and he started the “Tesla Ozone Company.” Ozone generators are available today for personal use that convert oxygen in the air into ozone.

Ozone cannot be inhaled, as it can damage the lungs; apart from this precaution, ozone is safe and generally has no side effects.

Ozone has a high oxidizing capacity which makes it effective for disinfecting and sterilizing. It can destroy most bacteria in water or in the air and is accepted as a broad-spectrum, effective disinfectant and antiseptic.

The molecule of ozone is inherently unstable and tries to break down into an oxygen molecule as quickly as possible. This is what makes ozone such a great air and water cleanser. The ozone molecules need to combine with something in order to break down, so they end up oxidizing organic compounds and turn them into harmless carbon dioxide and water. Because ozone quickly breaks down into oxygen it is less toxic than disinfectant chemicals like chlorine. Ozone is the cleanest oxidizer and disinfector.

Disease causing (pathogenic) microbes can never become resistant to ozone and ozone will always be able to kill them. Ozone destroys a wide range of microbes including bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi. So, you can see that ozone is a breakthrough for infection control, as many microbes are now resistant to antibiotic and anti-fungal drugs. Several types of anti-fungal drugs can be toxic to the liver.

Ozone purifies water, sterilises food produce, eliminates pesticides, purifies air, removes odours and toxic mould from the home, clothes, shoes and bathrooms.

Ozone can be administered to a person as an ozonated oil or ozonated water. The oil can be rubbed onto areas of the skin, scalp and nails that are infected with bacteria, viruses and fungi.  Ozone oil can be used to reduce warts and cold sores as these are both viral infections.

Ozone gas can also be directed into body cavities such as the external ears, vagina or rectum. This is easily done with a syringe, silicon bag and catheter. Do not do this unless your doctor tells you to do it, as it is best done under supervision.

Ozone is such a powerful therapy and yet it’s hardly known by the general public. Very few people know that you can treat an infected wound with ozone oil or that you can use it to reduce inflammation, address leaky gut, boost your immune system and support your overall healing.

Ozone water

Ozone water may be helpful for –

  • Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
  • Dysbiosis (unhealthy microbes throughout the gut)
  • Candida or other yeast infections in the gut
  • Anal itch caused by yeast infection
  • Intestinal parasites

You may need to drink 1 to 2 litres daily of freshly ozonated water to reduce gastrointestinal (gut) infections.

Ozone water, oil or gas can be used to improve –

  • Infected wounds and ulcers
  • Fungal infections of nails
  • Skin infections
  • Acne
  • Mouth and gum disease and ulcers

You can also swill the freshly ozonated water around your mouth and hold it in the mouth for several minutes to reduce gum disease and gum and mouth infections. It may also help reduce and heal mouth ulcers.

Ozone water is great for your plants

This oxygen enriched ozone water nourishes the plant’s root system which improves plant health and growth. Many diseased and infected plants are quick to recover after ozone water.

Anti-microbial effects of Ozone

  • Ozone can kill Staphylococcus, Coliform bacilli and Bacillus pyocyaneus by up to 99. 9%.
  • Ozone can kill Pseudomonas fluorescens, Salmonella, Typhimurium, Shigella flexneri and Vibrio cholerae up to 100%
  • Ozone is able to destroy hay bacillus variant spores up to 100%.
  • Ozone is able to destroy mix-colour aspergillus, peach pecilocin and VUQ protozoa up to 100%
  • Ozone is able to destroy black, green and orange mould and falciform spore mould up to 100%
  • Ozone can damage Hepatitis A virus and B virus
  • Ozone can destroy the influenza virus and SARS in the air up to 97.2
  • Ozone water can kill poliomyelitis virus 1(PV1) and simian rotavirus SA-11 as well as rotavirus

Other effects of Ozone

  • Partially disintegrates pesticides, chemical fertilizers and hormones
  • Oxidizes heavy metals and organic substances
  • Removes various odours

NOTE: Ozone does not replace vaccination, good hygiene practices or medical treatment.

How does ozone kill microorganisms?

The process for ozone disinfection is to release the third oxygen atom to destroy the cell membrane of the bacteria and the protein shell of viruses, then to directly destroy their genetic material (RNA and DNA) by oxidizing and decomposing them. For example, HCHO combined with O3, will generate CO2, H2O and O2.

The process for O3 oxidization is that one of the oxygen atoms of O3 acts with the surface of metal or organic substances to generate different harmless substances.
