I know what poisonous means, Garnet. Ozone is not poisonous.

I am not equating ozone to aspirin. Aspirin is frankly toxic at most doses, and
I wouldn't take it.

This is a spurious argument. If I spent my time getting substances assayed, I
wouldn't be living. I am satisfied that the substances I'm using with ozone are
pure.

Yes, like hydrochloric acid, which people take to augment their own supply when
the stomach is not making enough.

There are settings on my units. I don't have the ppm conversion chart handy at
the moment.

And so I have medical references for the opposite. What does that prove? It
proves that you follow your sources and I follow mine. I use ozone and get
positive results and you do not use it because you follow your sources.

I will provide ONE reference here. There are more in my book.

Many "experts" who are considered "standard" reading in their field say that
colloidal silver is bad for you but that doesn't make them right.

Spurious. My point above about hydrochloric acid still stands. You can take
water. People need water to live but too much will kill you. It also matters
whether you drink it or put your face under it.

You are making an assumption as to why I might not reply to your posts after a
point. I simply choose not to put more energy than necessary into what appears
to me to be a non-productive use of my time and energy. I'm simply putting out
that ozone therapy is a wonderful adjunct to health, just like colloidal silver
is; and if people want to explore that based on my post, that's their choice. I
have no investment one way or the other.

I am aware of arguments pro and con for ozone, and have made my choice based on
(1) people's successes, and (2) my own empirical evidence. My own experience is
worth something to me.

I have no axe to grind either. Again, if you are interested in learning more
about ozone and why a "spin" has been put on it, you might consider joining
Oxyplus or writing to Saul Pressman at Oxyplus. He also has a free book, The
Story of Ozone, which he's happy to send to anyone who asks.
