Ozone - our friend !!

Most folks know ozone by name, especially since the upper atmosphere’s protective ozone layer began disappearing. But a lot of misinformation, conjured up to further private agendas, would have you believe ozone is the bad guy of ground-level pollution.

Demonizing ozone is like blaming the fireman for the fire. Without ozone, pollution would render cities uninhabitable.

Nature creates tremendous amounts of ozone each day with the help of ultraviolet rays of the sun or electrical discharges of thunderstorms that neutralize many biological problems like bacteria, viruses, mold or chemical out-gassing, and to some extent, man-made pollution. Take a walk after a thunderstorm and notice the clean smell in the air—that’s ozone at work.

K - thats only part of the good news about Ozone in this article.

Ozone is THE BEST thing to use to kill mouldy homes, and in our ignoring this here in BC, we have lost a billion dollars of property that could hae been saved with ozone decontamination.

In New Orleans, it would be a real "mouldy home" saver too, same reason.

I use Ozone in my small apartment. It is not killing me. If it were harmfull, I would be dead since I breathe it in every day, sometimes all day. I put it on high when I leave too.


Ozone, and its brother Hydrogen Peroxide, are NOT USED for the simple corporate reason of no patents. That means that the profit margins will not be as high as if they used a patentable product.

Yes, that is true. Sounds whacky, but is true.

Patentables are constantly used in place of more effective unpatentables, from household products to medical appliations. Medical ignorance of Ozone is shamefull and disgustingly dangerous - oxygen therapies could take the place of less effective dangerous pharmacy pills.

Anyhow, OZONE is GOOD, not bad as the weather people would have us believe when they use ozone levels as if it were the pollution itself.

Have you noticed that they never refer to ozone as a the one thing cleaning the air up after we dirty it? Now ask them why... they do not reply.... Even if you might die.... they will deny.

Ozone is great for breaking down carbon bonds, such a mold and organic odours. However, too much ozone is actually corrosive, and there are exposure ratings for it. I wouldn't suggest exceeding this level. Ozone has a destruction time of about 30 minutes, so you can have it above these levels when you're gone, but you should lower it when you're at home. Ozone causes oxidation of metals, like the ones in your expensive electronics, so you might still not want to have too high of levels. Ozone is created when UV-C light strikes an oxygen molecule, to form O3. It's unstable though, hence the 30 minute destruction time.

Thats informative, I had not been made aware of this untill this evening.

Yep, ozone is good, it's a natural product, part of the environment we all live in and evolved to function in, and like most natural things, the right amount in the right places is good, too little or too much, or in the wrong places, can be damaging and destructive. Oxygen, for instance, can be extremely corrosive because it's so chemically active, but we'd die horribly without it. Carbon dioxide is equally essential, our bodies depend on it to know when to make us breathe harder; in a perfectly breathable atmosphere without carbon dioxide, you couldn't exert yourself physically without passing out, because your body wouldn't get the chemical signals necessary to tell it to breathe harder and you'd faint from lack of oxygen.

It's all about balance.

Good stuff, thanks for the replys.

So, you are asking - why isn't ozone, and other oxygen sources, used in modern medical treatments?

Yes, it is effective in combatting many, or most, illnesses.
Yes, it is inexpensive and very safe to use.

No, it cannot have a patent. Patents cannot be applied to naturally occuring substances. And this is the real educational focus here - non-patentables do not create big profits, and so they are being left off the offical treatments doctors use.

"NO WAY!!" you say, if it was usefull, doctors would use it.

Nope, they don't.... you have to figure this truth our for yourself, it is too shocking to believe otherwise.....
....but I will say that YES, I do know that they do not allways do what is best and right for the patient, and that includes not using non-patentables even when they are better.

--------quote from link:
"A survey of men in Los Angeles has shown that their sperm counts fell as ozone levels in the air increased.

Sperm counts were taken of 48 men who donated to an LA sperm bank at least 10 times in a two-year period. Using air pollution measurements from the zip code where each man lived, the team estimated the amount of various air pollutants that the men were exposed to in the days leading up to each donation.

Ozone, formed when sunlight triggers reactions between nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons in smoggy air, was the only pollutant that appeared to be linked to decreased sperm production. It had a damaging effect throughout the 90 day spermatogenesis process. Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter seemed to have no effect "

end quote--------------

So they can tell that it was the Ozone, and not the CO or nitrogen oxides?
Maybe, but I doubt it. And then WHY doesn't sperm counts fall for men inhaling vast amounts of ozone? [studies done by non-pharma groups].

I will give them credit for explaining that Ozone only forms as a result of the air pollution, but they still insist it is an air pollutant, not a cleanser.

There are so many different toxins in air pollution from fossil fuels, and they don't say how or if they separated them all out to determine which one was causing the decrease in sperm counts.

Furthermore, other studies all over the globe have found correlation between toxins and lowered sperm counts. Not ozone, toxins. Well documented.
[btw, sperm counts are lower now than 20 years ago, and much lower than 100 years ago.] \

Anyhow, when I read this kind of thing I see it as evidence that they are using propaganda to build a false view of the world, to favour corporate or other agendas most likely.

For eg., One big deal is that OZONE is a great medical therapy, and it is unused because medical indiustry wants it left unused. This article furthers than agenda.
