Ozone is one of the most beneficial substances on this planet,
and the BAD science you may have heard quoted on the news may be
causing you to subconsciously be afraid of nature, and
therefore, a part of life itself. They tell you that somehow
hydrogen plus nitrogen or sulfur equals ozone. H + N + S = 03?
Not on this planet it doesn't!
What is ozone? Simply put, oxygen. Three atoms of nature's
oxygen. It exists in a very active form for about 30 minutes
before breaking down into two atoms of regular oxygen - by
giving up one atom of singlet oxygen.
Where does ozone come from? Nature, and nature is efficient. The
new growth in the forests, the trees, the grass on your front
lawn, and the plankton in the ocean are continually creating
oxygen. As you read this, this oxygen is rising up into the
atmosphere where the ozone layer is. In the region of the ozone
layer, our rising oxygen is bombarded by the sun's photo
chemical energy in the form of ultraviolet (UV rays). The UV
energy bombardment changes the oxygen from 02 - two atoms of
stable oxygen, into 03 - three atoms of unstable active oxygen.
We call this pure form of oxygen "ozone." The using up of the UV
rays to create ozone is how the ozone layer shields us from
their harmful effects. This is all part of the natural process
of life on this living biosphere called earth. The chemical
formula for this is 3O2 > UV > 203.
Being heavier than the oxygen in the atmosphere, this newly
created ozone falls back to earth, eventually giving us one atom
of oxygen, it changes back to 02, and is immediately replaced by
more rising oxygen which is also soon changed into ozone by the
sun. The ozone falls to earth and is all around us purifying our
water and air, decomposing bacteria, molds and fungi. It is the
fresh smell of laundry dried outdoors in the country. It is the
fresh air by a clean seashore, and the sweet smell of the air
after a lightning storm. Lightning, also possessing photo
chemical and electrical energy, creates ozone as well. At least
this is how our world was operating until man started ruining
it.
Ozone has always been with us in nature, and the fact that ozone
gives off that single oxygen atom is a significant factor in
life, in medicine, and in toxic waste cleanup technology.
Thousands of physicians in Europe have been using ozone as
medical treatment for over 50 years, and the use of Ozone in
medicine is starting to finally catch on here in the U.S.
How is it used in medicine? This 03 Ozone is not as stable as
regular 02 oxygen because it has that extra atom of 01 attached
to it. Ozone will readily give up this extra atom of 01 and
revert it back to stable oxygen again. This giving off of the 01
is the reason why ozone has been used in medicine. It has been
proven extensively that 03 will kill bacteria, viruses, fungi
and molds by attaching, oxidizing and eliminating them.
Oxidizing means to burn without giving off light or heat. These
bacteria, etcetera, are lower life form organisms, and are
mostly anaerobic. That means they can't live around activated
oxygen/ozone. Doctors using the proper concentrations and
correct medical protocols have achieved substantial positive
clinical results with ozone.
Far from being a poison, ozone, when used properly, has been
shown repeatedly to kill pathogens - yet not harm normal cells.
This is because disease causing pathogens do not have any strong
enzyme coatings to protect them - as do all the cells of higher
life forms like humans and animals for example. Pure ozone is
available to purify all our counties stored blood supplies.
There is no reason why people have had to come home from the
hospital with AIDS or hepatitis from blood transfusions.
European doctors and respected NY University researchers all
state that ozone has been used to eliminate AIDS in humans,
animals and blood supplies. Without any side effects. Why don't
we see this on TV? Why isn't ozone being used more widely in the
US like it is in other countries? Read on to find out.
Breathing ozonated air or drinking ozonated water (at the safe
legal concentrations that are already conservatively laid out by
the government) are two of the ways of getting activated oxygen
into your body. Did you ever drink clean water just downstream
from a waterfall and feel invigorated? That was because the
water had tumbled over the rocks, thinned out, and absorbed
oxygen/ozone from the air. Other methods being explored
medically in the US are rectal ozone insufflations, ozone
autohemotherapy and intravenous ozone infusions. These methods
of killing viruses and bacteria in humans have been in use in
European medicine for over 50 years.
Most European and several major US cities have been purifying
water, sewage and toxic dump sites with ozone, some for over 70
years. Ozone based systems can even break down PCB's and all
other industrial chemical wastes both organic and inorganic.
This is possible because ozone based systems are able to create
enough of these singlet oxygen atoms to oxidize anything
unnatural found in our air, water, sewage, and sediment. Ozone
can do this yet is so safe that it is used on humans and animals
as the water purifier at Marine World and in the Olympic
swimming pools.
Why does the media call Ozone "smog?" Bad science and bad
reporting. Mostly because of deliberate political
misrepresentation! It's also not in the best interest
financially to promote the concept that ozone is good. A Los
Angeles nurse that I met told me she actually treated a patient
who got sick from going around breathing bus fumes deeply: The
poor man had heard that ozone kills the AIDS virus and because
of TV had thought ozone was the same as smog!
By calling nature's oxygen "smog," and diverting your attention
away from the real polluters, no one has to clean up the
environment! Did you know that your automobile emits its own
weight in pollutants into the air every year? Television tries
to position itself as "concerned" and wastes your time arguing
over what type of shopping bag you should lobby for at the local
supermarket. Meanwhile, the factory next door continues its
deadly course of spewing tons of poisonous pollutants into your
air and drinking water. While you are constantly made to feel
guilty about every day living, they won't give any significant
air time to cover the far more dangerous industrial polluters
that are too cheap to put scrubbers on their smokestacks. Why?
Because the corporations might be "offended" and have to pay to
clean up their mess.
Go into a city, look up, and taste the dirty air you're
breathing. Try and tell me that the brown / gray / yellow color
is ozone. I doubt that I'll believe you. All of this can be
cleaned up with colorless, clear ozone.
Ozone based systems are able to purify 99% of every liquid, gas
or toxic substance coming out of any industrial operation. The
engineers even tell me we can include radiation in the list
since the radiation is carried by something. Why isn't some type
of ozone system being used?
Nature constantly works through the balancing out of different
electrical, magnetic, and chemical charges. When man dumps
pollutants into the air, nature tries to clean it up by in
effect creating and "sending" ozone into the affected areas to
oxidize and clean up the pollution. What got us into this mess
was the old idea that the earth and water and air magically
combined into one giant "sponge," where we could just "toss it
out" and it would all disappear. Well our sponge is full now,
and although nature still tries, the ocean polluters and
rainforest clear cutters have significantly choked off nature's
means of cleanup - Ozone!
That is why Ozone is always found as a very tiny component of
air pollution. Here we find out why the newscasters and
scientists try to blame your respiratory problems on your
"friend ozone" and call her names like "smog." You can almost
hear them thinking..."Well boss, here's 5,000 pounds of toxic
hydrocarbons and nitric compounds coming from our factory, and
those pesky environmentalists are starting to notice it and make
noise...Let's see...There's less than .12 parts per million (or
only 12 millionths of a pound) of ozone in the area...I've got
it J.R.! We'll blame the "teensy weensey" little ozone molecule
- so the sheep won't notice our toxic soup, the real cause of
their dead trees, lung, eye and throat irritation!" "Smithers,
that's brilliant! Let's do lunch at the club."
By blaming nature, the huge polluters are never forced to take
responsibility for the current dirty engine designs and
factories, and never have to incorporate any of the already
invented clean energy sources. What they call "ozone smog" is a
toxic soup of compounds. Why they don't tell you is that
Nature's ozone is trying to clean it up, and is a very tiny
portion of the smog they report.
THE MORE CHEMICALS DUMPED IN THE AIR, THE HARDER NATURE TRIES TO
CLEAN IT UP, THEREFORE THE REPORTED OZONE LEVELS WILL BE HIGHER.
They also don't admit that pure ozone is strictly, always, only
02+01 pure oxygen, and never anything else.
The ray of hope here is that the media professionals and
federal, state, and corporate decision makers and their families
are themselves coming down with all manner of new mutant
diseases. Their vacation hideaways are spoiled. It is no longer
an "us" versus "them" class struggle. We are all in this earth
boat. This is quickly forcing change in "business as usual."
As to their claims that ozone is smog, I can refer detractors to
internally clean people who work in very high concentrations of
pure ozone all day long without any ill effect. In fact, they
commonly report a healthy invigoration. Where these scare
stories come from is the following typical scenario. When a
typical smoker, or junk food or drug addict - a person whose
body cells are loaded with toxins finally gets near enough to an
activated oxygen (ozone) source, his or her body starts to
oxidize the toxins within it, in an effort to finally remove
them. The pathways out of the body become filled with cellular
debris, swollen, irritated, and fluid filled. Often this is
uncomfortable, but only for a few days, while, and until, the
oxidized toxins leave the body. The health professionals skilled
in medical ozone usage call this a "typical detoxifying
cleansing reaction"that will generally subside within a few
days.
Most air ozone "studies" are halted at the point of
detoxification discomfort, and not after the full cleansing has
occurred. Therefore "negative reports" is erroneously reported
in the scientific literature. In contrast, any properly
conducted experiments are allowed to continue past this point -
and report how the body replaces the weak, old, diseased, dying,
feeble cells with new and very healthy oxidative stress
resistant ones.
At times, an isolated and questionable report will surface in
the scientific literature, telling of animals exposed to ozone
who developed lung irritation. These studies were usually done
at SUPER HIGH concentrations, way beyond the suggested typical
medical Protocols!
I've actually cornered a few scientists and reporters and asked
if they knew that they were not being scientifically accurate
when in the press they equate ozone with the toxic soup of smog.
The admitted (in private) that they knew they weren't, but keep
up the charade "because everyone else does!"
What about the holes in the ozone layer? Consider the gluttonous
"clear cutting" of the oxygen producing rain forests and the
disappearance of our own oxygen producing national forests.
Where is our oxygen going to come from? Then add the constant
selfish polluting of the oceans and the greedy discharge of
industrial pollutants, nuclear radiation and electrical energy
into the atmosphere. These electrical, electronic, and
radioactive discharges further scramble the elements in natures
air. At home, chlorine gas comes out of your water faucet and
rises up into the sky. More and more, our oxygen is either
missing or bound up in toxins. What we're experiencing is an
increasing shortage of atmospheric oxygen that's available to be
turned into ozone in the first place! That's why there is an
ozone hole at both poles and the rest of the ozone layer is
starting to look like Swiss cheese. Greed, not ozone is the
problem!
The ozone layer is constantly changing, almost a living
boundary, paper thin, and missing at night. When the oxygen is
all bound up with toxins, then there will be no ozone layer.
Without available oxygen, the sun's ultraviolet light passes
right on through without being absorbed in creating ozone, and
we are seeing increased cataracts, skin cancer, blindness, and
burning of vegetation. So our bodies and our food supply -
therefore our very existence - is in danger, unless we
personally do something about turning back the rampant greed
that is destroying us.
What can you do to help preserve and re-supply the missing
oxygen in your life? Stop those unevolved people who think
"We're all going to die anyway so I'm going to get all I can
now" from cutting down all the trees. Convince the factory
managers to install existing devices like ozone based smokestack
scrubbers, factory discharge point ozone based purifiers, and to
fund existing ignored clean energy sources. Plant lots of trees.
Don't sell aerosols. Stop polluting!
Industrially, ozone air purifies have been in use for decades.
There have been no problems associated with their use, as long
as they are used in average sized rooms, at the recommended
government established safe healthy levels. Enlightened hospital
operating rooms commonly use ozone air purifiers to keep
everything sterile The doctors and nurses aren't falling over
dead are they?
Ozone air sterilizer/purifiers/deodorizers are commonly used: by
hotel chains to remove odors; by used car dealers to give old
cars that "new car smell"; by morgues to get ride of
formaldehyde odors; by schools when they refinish a floor, so
they don't have to close the school because of the dangerous
refinishing chemical odors; in bars, comedy clubs, and
restaurants - so the majority non-smokers can patronize them
again and go home without stinking like an ashtray; in
fitness/exercise clubs and gymnasiums where patrons don't smell
body odor, they only smell fresh air and report increased
endurance and strength; by grain storage building owners who
report an end to mold and rot.
Owners of animal excretion soiled stable, barns, veterinary
kennels, and professional dog and horse racing paddocks love
them. If the animals could talk, they would probably echo this
sentiment, and describe the air as fresh as a day in the
country.
Entrepreneurs even buy - at a discount - sick cattle that are
worn out from antibiotics and drugs, ozonate their air and
water, and then sell them as healthy, disease free animals a
year later at a profit. Plus, the consumer eats chemical free
meat. Do you have any smoke damaged goods? Fire damaged
furniture? Stick it in a room with an ozone air purifier running
full tilt, and in a few days the useless items are restored. The
applications are endless, wherever stale, polluted and toxic
odors are encountered.
Factory and closed-up-tight office workers could ask management
to install ozone air purifiers. Management would benefit at the
bottom line, because happy oxygenated workers are more efficient
workers, cheerier to customers, and don't need as many sick
days. In the fifties, ozone air lamps were placed in schools,
and absenteeism dropped. Commercial clothes dryers came with UV
ozone lamps in them. The federal government required their use
in all government restrooms. If your home or work air stinks,
think of ozone solutions!
If a foolish person sat only inches from an ozone generator on
full blast and breathed deeply for a long period of time, they
might have cell lysis (destruction) problems. But no one is
advocating doing that and anyone who does this has too much time
on their hands!
"Ozone is smog" is a great, quick, one liner for the media to
hype, but it is far from reality! This "instant journalism
created hysteria" is so bad that the "Earth Day" environmental
organizations even emblem their signs with well meaning but
uninformed slogans. In a twisted way, people subconsciously are
made to fear the very act of breathing, so that every breath
taken on a hot summer day in the city is tainted with a fear of
life itself.
At the home level, many thousands of people are now exploring
the many medical oxygen therapies and pollution control devices.
One of the simplest methods of using ozone at home is by
installing a home ozone air or water purifier. They do a fine
job for what they were designed for, general air and water
purification.
After installing air ozonators, many claimed "their house mold
went away," "the odors stopped," their "emphysema became less,"
or their "lupus got better"! Sounds fantastic, but hearing these
stories first hand has been my experience.
Of course no one is making illegal medical claims for these
devices, but the anecdotal evidence in this area continues to
amaze me as it piles up steadily. Since anaerobic (most) disease
organisms simply cannot exist in oxygen, than oxygen is the
first line of defense in your immune system. It's also necessary
for the removal of every single bit of toxic waste in your body.
Every waste product that comes out of you is oxygen combined
with hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, or carbon. If the toxins in you
don't have any available oxygen to combine with, they pile up
inside you and they can't leave and eventually you get sick.
Dr. William F. Koch, MD., was a brilliant free radical chemist
and former professor of chemistry at Wayne State University. He
wrote that ALL disease originates from toxins in the body. Now
think about the fact that we were genetically designed during a
time when the atmosphere was 38 to 50 percent richer in oxygen
than you now live in - especially if you live in a city. We are
living way below our optimum efficiency. If your car has dirt in
its oil, has half its air supply cut off, and has never had an
air or gas or oil filter changed, it will die after sputtering
along for a while. Our bodies are vehicles for the Soul.
Your liver and kidney and lymph system are the vehicle filters.
You die too soon, and full of dirt as well. The Bible dates some
in the old Testament as being over 900 years old. How did
dinosaurs get to be 5 stories tall? You can guess why so many
are sick so often in our "modern" society.
I am convinced that what we've been presently experiencing in
our society is the rise of the age of toxins, diseases, and
plagues all corresponding to the fall of our planetary and body
oxygen levels. Fueled by greed and self imposed ignorance, the
phenomenon is sad indeed, and unless abated, will drastically
change or even eliminate life on this planet.
Some, including doctors, have added up the numbers, and
concluded that half of the world's population will possibly be
dead from AIDS, alone, in the next 20 years. I have seen slides
brought back from Africa by Dr. William Douglas, the book
author. Slides of whole villages that are now empty, and roads
lined with burial mounds where the victims fell. Not a fantasy,
it's real, it's right now, it's your/our problem. Pay attention
to the warnings.
Take heart my friend, if you're reading this, it's not over yet.
We can help change above dire predictions, if YOU get involved
at some level. Plenty of evidence exists proving that an
increase of planetary and cellular oxygen levels will solve most
of our life threatening industrial and medical problems. The
bottom line is...Ozone is our friend. We should get to know it
better!
