Having read a lot of available material on ozone inclding an ozone therapy course I can say the fella doesn't have more than a partial grasp. His paragraph below is all wrong. If he had read some published works on the successes of ozone therapy he wouldn't have said that. It looks like he's getting the bulk of his info from the FDA.
And his textbooks were apparently vetted by a quasi-authoritative body with dubious credentials. The "terrible poison" of up to 4% ozone is used all the time in Europe and about dozen countries around the world. (Of course you couldn't live in a 4% mix, but neither does any 4% mix achieve those levels in the body) <<Ozone is a bleach (an oxygen bleach) and sterilizes by being a violently reactive chemical with organic molecules. It is not caustic (an alkali) like chlorine bleach but it will cause oxidative burns in tissue. Further ozone has a major toxic effect that bleach does not. It binds to hemoglobin and cytochromes irreversibly and prevents them from carrying a usable form of oxygen (O2). This is the same mechanism of action as the poison cyanide, and in fact ozone is more powerful in its toxic effect. Ozone does not increase the available oxygen to cells in fact it decreases it. From my work in O-chem I know that we treat even a 4% concentration of ozone as a terrible poison.>> --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
