Ozone is not poisonous.
That is a totally irresponsible statement in light of the many studies documenting injurious effects of pure ozone. > > > > I have medical grade ozone equipment obtained from Plasmafire in Canada > > > and > use > > > it for many purposes.

There are more in my book. > www.thefinchleyclinic.co.uk/nojavascript/therapies/ozone/safe.htm This article is not referenced and provides no data. It is worthless. It states:"Interestingly the opponents Ozone therapy are in my experience always people or organisations who either have not actually investigated the merits of the therapy, or who have a vested interest in suppressing the therapy. As Anthony D'Angelo put it: -"The people who oppose your ideas are inevitably those who represent the established order that your ideas will upset." Totally wrong in my case. I have investigated the therapy for over 7 years. I have no vested interest. And I am certainly not what anyone would label as establishment by any stretch of the imagination. Lung damage has been documented both acute and chronic. Again I have not said Ozone is not beneficial, just that it is risky and that the practioners must be well trained and able to verify what they are actually adminstering. > > > > The copyright date 2001 indicates it is quite up to date.

My own experience > is > worth something to me. Have you followed those people long term? What type of tests have you done to determine there was no damage done? Empirical evidence is helpful but it is not repeatable and verifiable, two requirements of well founded scientific data. I have not disparged personal experience -- in fact I think it is quite valuable. As I have stated about Ozone, but the fact remains that is is risky and does have toxic effects. Not recognizing the limitations of a therapy is irresponsible and indicates someone who can not be trusted to have the best interest of their clients at heart. Profit and image are the stock and trade of this type of practitioner. We find them in both alternative and traditional medicine, indeed in many walks of life. They are often the most charming people well practices in the art of distraction and able to spin the most amazing tales that confound the critical thinking abilities of even the best minds. But their webs are gossamer and fall apart under scrutiny. BTW Nenah WHERE is your PHd from? Did it come from an accredited university?

I have learned all I need to know about ozone in the past 7 years I have been actively reseraching its potential for treating degenerative disease. My criteria are that something has to be number one safe, affordable and available. You see Nenah most of the truly ill people in the world have very little money, time, energy or expertise. I have been on the Oxyplus List previously and did not find the information credible, anecdotal information is not that useful for my purposes as stated above. Before Mike has a hissy fit I will direct further responses to the OT list. See ya there unless you are simply too busy with more important things than the safety of your clients and the interest of full disclosure to participate in a real discussion.
