Oxygen IS the free radical. Oxygen wants very much to be a molecule of 2 Oxygen atoms [O2]
A little confusing... there is a difference between an oxygen *atom* (O1) and an oxygen *molecule* (O2).
When it's in a unstable compound in an unbalance state like in Hydrogen Peroxide [H2O2 ] and Ozone [O3] there is that extra oxygen that will join another one making O2 as a part of that molecule "burning" it, or sucking an Oxygen atom off virtually anything it contacts, especially organic molecules.
Ozone, in 'therapeutic' levels of concentration, will *not* harm healthy tissue, but *will* react with unhealthy tissue (and chemicals and pesticides and pretty much any other inorganic toxin in the body)...
I can see where just the right amount of O3 or H2O2 introduced into the body could be a benefit, both by scavenging free radicals there and by killing off weaker cells to stimulate growth of new ones to replace them...but.. over doing it could also be big trouble.
Overdoing anything can cause problems - but therapeutic ozone is *very* safe and has been around for a *long* time.
