Hi Garnet: Amazing. I'm using ozone at 7%, I guess I'm dead. :o)
Proper ventilation disperses ozone rapidly. It is possibly an irritant, although I have not observed this at all. I studied the medical literature for quite some time before undertaking my experimentations. After consulting some of the most prominent alt medical MD's in the United States, and speaking with those patients who greatly benefited from otherwise terminal illness, I concluded that ozone therapy was a safe and effective treatment option. Ozone bubbled through olive oils and other essential oils creates a substance called Ozonal, which is a terpene gas with stabilized oxygen, first appearing in the medical literature in the early 19th century. The compound is C10H18O3, and this compound is anything but an irritant. Nitrous oxide is only a byproduct when actual energy comes in contact with normal oxygen in the presence of nitrogen. It has nothing to do with ozone, it has to do with the methods that can be used to produce ozone.
