OZONE IS NOT SMOG – OZONE IS GOOD AND NATURAL
By Ed McCabe
Ozone is one of the most
beneficial substances on this planet, and the BAD science you hear
quoted on the news every night is causing you to subconsciously be
afraid of nature, and therefore, a part of life itself. They tell
you that somehow hydrogen plus nitrogen or sulfur equals ozone. H +
N + S = O3? Not on this planet it doesn't!
What is ozone? Simply oxygen. Three atoms of nature's
oxygen. It exists in a very active form for about 30 minutes before
breaking down into two atoms of regular oxygen - by giving up one
atom of singlet oxygen.
Where does ozone come from? Nature. And nature is
efficient. The new growth in the forests, the trees, the grass on
your front lawn, and the plankton in the ocean are continually
creating oxygen. As you read this, this oxygen is rising up into the
atmosphere to where the ozone layer is. In the region of the ozone
layer, our rising oxygen is bombarded by the sun's photo chemical
energy in the form of ultraviolet (UV rays). The UV energy
bombardment changes the oxygen from O2 - two atoms of stable oxygen,
into O3 - three atoms of unstable active oxygen. We call this pure
form of oxygen "ozone." The using up of the UV rays to create ozone
is how the ozone layer shields us from their harmful effects. This
is all part of the natural process of life on this living biosphere
called earth. The chemical formula for this is 3O2 > UV > 2O3.
Being heavier than the oxygen in the atmosphere, this
newly created ozone falls back to earth, eventually giving us one
atom of oxygen, it changes back to O2, and is immediately replaced
by more rising oxygen which is also soon changed into ozone by the
sun. The ozone falls to earth and is all around us purifying our
water and air, decomposing bacteria, molds and fungi. It is the
fresh smell of laundry dried outdoors in the country. It is the
fresh air at a clean seashore, and the sweet smell of the air after
a lightning storm. Lightning, also possessing photo chemical and
electrical energy, creates ozone as well. At least this is how our
world was operating until man started ruining it.
Ozone has always been with us in nature, and the fact
that ozone gives off that single oxygen atom is a significant factor
in life, in medicine, and in toxic waste cleanup technology.
Thousands of physicians in Europe have been using ozone as medical
treatment for over 50 years, and the use of Ozone in medicine is
starting to finally catch on here in the U.S.
How is it used in medicine? This O3 Ozone is not as
stable as regular O2 oxygen because it has that extra atom of O1
attached to it. Ozone will readily give up this extra atom of O1 and
revert it back to stable oxygen again. This giving off of the O1 is
the reason why ozone has been used in medicine. It has been proven
extensively that O3 will kill bacteria, viruses, fungi and molds by
attaching to them and oxidizing and eliminating them, oxidizing
means to burn without giving off light or heat. These bacteria,
etcetera, are lower life form organisms, and are mostly anaerobic.
That means they can't live around activated oxygen/ozone. Doctors
using the proper concentrations and correct medical protocols have
achieved substantial positive clinical results with ozone.
Far from being a poison, ozone, when used properly, has
been shown repeatedly to kill pathogens - yet not harm nominal
cells. This is because disease causing pathogens do not have any
strong enzyme coatings to protect them - as do all the higher life
forms like us for example, pure ozone is available to purify all our
county's stored blood supplies. There is no reason why people have
had to come home from the hospital with AIDS or hepatitis from blood
transfusions. European doctors and respected NY University
researchers all state that ozone has been used to eliminate AIDS in
humans, animals and blood tests, without any side effects. Why don't
we see this on TV? Why isn’t it being used?
Breathing ozonated air or drinking ozonated water (at
the safe legal concentrations that are already conservatively laid
out by the government) are two of the ways of getting activated
oxygen into your body. Did you ever drink clean water just
downstream from a waterfall and feel invigorated? That was because
the water had tumbled over the rocks, thinned out, and absorbed
oxygen/ozone from the air. Other methods being explored medically in
the US are rectal ozone insulation, ozone autohemotherapy and
intravenous ozone infusions. All these methods require the use of
pure medical grade ozone. Being blatantly non toxic, these methods
of killing viruses and bacteria in humans have been in use in
European medicine for over 50 years.
Most European and several major US cities have been
purifying water, sewage and toxic dump sites with ozone, some for
over 70 years. Ozone based systems can even break down PCB's and all
other industrial chemical wastes both organic and inorganic. This is
possible because ozone based systems are able to create enough of
these singlet oxygen atoms to oxidize anything unnatural found in
our air, water, sewage, and sediment. Ozone can do this yet is so
safe that it is used on humans and animals as the water purifier at
Marine World and in the Olympic swimming pools.
Why do they call Ozone "smog?” (Bad science, bad
reporting and political misrepresentation) It's also dangerous to
promote this concept. A Los Angeles nurse I met told me she actually
treated a patient who got sick from going around breathing bus fumes
deeply: The poor man had heard that ozone kills the AIDS virus and
because of TV had thought ozone was the same as smog!
By calling nature's oxygen "poison," and diverting your
attention away from the real polluters, no one has to clean up the
environment. Did you know that your automobile emits its own weight
in pollutants into the air every year? Television tries to position
itself as "concerned" and wastes your time arguing over what type of
shopping bag you should lobby for at the local supermarket.
Meanwhile, the factory next door continues its deadly course of
spewing tons of poisonous pollutants into your breathing air and
drinking water. While you are constantly made to feel guilty about
every day living, they won't give any significant air time to cover
the far more dangerous industrial polluters that are too cheap to
put scrubbers on their smokestacks. Why, because the corporations
might be "offended."
Go into a city, look up, and taste the dirty air you're
breathing. Try and tell me that the brown / gray / yellow color is
ozone. I doubt that I'll believe you. All of this can be cleaned up
with colorless, clear ozone
Ozone based systems are able to purify 99% of every
liquid, or gas or toxic substance coming out of any industrial
operation. The engineers even tell me we can include radiation in
the list since the radiation is carried by something. Why aren't the
ozone systems being used?
Nature constantly works through the balancing out of
different electrical, magnetic, and chemical charges. When man dumps
pollutants into the air, nature tries to clean it up by in effect,
"sending" ozone into the affected areas to oxidize and clean up the
pollution. What got us into this mess was the old idea that the
earth and water and air magically combined into one giant "sponge,"
where we could just "toss it out" and it would all disappear. Well
our sponge is full now, and although nature still tries, the ocean
polluters and rainforest clear cutters have significantly choked off
nature's means of cleanup - the ozone.
That is why Ozone is always found as a very tiny
component of air pollution. Here we find out why the newscasters and
scientists try to blame your respiratory problems on your friend
ozone and call her names like "smog." You can almost hear them
thinking..."Well boss, here's 5 000 pounds of toxic hydrocarbons and
nitric compounds coming from our factory, and those pesky
environmentalists are starting to notice it and make noise...Let's
see...There's less than .12 parts per million (or only 12 millionths
of a pound) of ozone in the area...I've got it J.R.! We'll blame the
teensy weensy little air ozone molecule - so the sheep won notice
our toxic soup, the real cause of their dead trees and lung, eye and
throat irritation!" "Smithers, that's brilliant! Let's do lunch at
the club. By the way, how's your daughters rash?"
By blaming nature, the huge polluters are never forced
to take responsibility for the current dirty engine designs and
factories, and never have to incorporate any of the already invented
clean energy sources. What they call "ozone smog" is a toxic soup of
compounds. Why they don't tell you is that Nature's ozone is trying
to clean it up, and is a very tiny portion of the smog they report.
THE MORE CHEMICALS DUMPED IN THE AIR, THE HARDER NATURE TRIES TO
CLEAN IT UP, AND THEREFORE THE REPORTED OZONE LEVELS WILL BE HIGHER.
They also don't admit that ozone is strictly, always, only O2+O1
pure oxygen, and never anything else.
The ray of hope here is that the media professionals
and federal, state, and corporate decision makers and their families
are themselves coming down with all manner of new mutant diseases.
Their vacation hideaways are spoiled. It is no longer an "us" versus
"them" class struggle. We are all in this earth boat. This is
quickly forcing change in business as usual.
As to their claims that ozone is a poison, I can refer
detractors to internally clean people who work in very high
concentrations of pure ozone all day long without ill effect. In
fact, they commonly report a healthy invigoration. Where these scare
stories come from is the following typical scenario. When a typical
smoker, or junk food or drug addict - a person whose body cells are
loaded with toxins finally gets near enough to an activated oxygen
(ozone) source, his or her body starts to oxidize the toxins within
it, in an effort to finally remove them. The pathways out of the
body become filled with cellular debris, swollen, irritated, and
fluid filled. Often this is uncomfortable, but only for a few days,
while, and until, the oxidized toxins leave the body. The health
professionals skilled in medical ozone usage call this a typical
cleansing reaction.
Most air ozone "studies" are halted at the point of
detoxification discomfort, and not after the full cleansing has
occurred. Therefore "damage" is erroneously reported in the
scientific literature. In contrast, any properly conducted
experiments are allowed to continue past this point - and report how
the body replaces the weak, old, diseased, dying, feeble cells with
new and very healthy oxidative stress resistant ones.
At times, an isolated and questionable report will
surface in the scientific literature, telling of animals exposed to
ozone that developed lung scarring. These studies were usually done
at super high concentrations way beyond the typical medical
protocols, and relate to impure ozone made from high amperage
electricity and air, which is 80% Nitrogen, not pure Oxygen.
Nitrogen plus heat plus moisture plus ozone equals nitric acid. Acid
will definitely cause lung scarring. Again, this is not nature's
pure natural ozone.
I've actually cornered a few scientists and reporters
and asked if they knew that they were not being scientifically
accurate when in the press they equate ozone with the toxic soup of
smog. They admitted (in private) that they knew they weren't, but
keep up the charade "because everyone else does!"
What about the holes in the ozone layer? Consider the
gluttonous "clear cutting" of the oxygen producing rain forests and
the disappearance of our own oxygen producing national forests.
Where is our oxygen going to come from? Then add the constant
selfish polluting of the oceans and the greedy discharge of
industrial pollutants, nuclear radiation and electrical energy into
the atmosphere. These electrical, electronic, and radioactive
discharges further scramble the elements in nature's air. At home,
chlorine gas comes out of your water faucet and rises up into the
sky. More and more, our oxygen is either missing or bound up in
toxins. What we're experiencing is an increasing shortage of
atmospheric oxygen that's available to be turned into ozone in the
first place! That's why there is an ozone hole at both poles, and
the rest of the ozone layer is starting to look like Swiss cheese.
Greed, not ozone is the problem.
The ozone layer is constantly changing, almost a living
boundary, paper thin, and missing at night. When the oxygen is all
bound up with toxins, then there will be no ozone layer. Without
available oxygen, the sun's ultraviolet light passes right on
through without being absorbed in creating ozone, and we are seeing
increased cataracts, skin cancer, blindness, and burning of
vegetation. So our bodies and our food supply - therefore our very
existence - are in danger, unless you personally do something about
turning back the rampant greed that is destroying us.
What can you do to help preserve and re-supply the
missing oxygen in your life? Stop those un-evolved people who think
“We're all going to die anyway so I'm gonna get all I can now" from
cutting down all the trees. Convince the factory managers to install
existing devices like ozone based smokestack scrubbers, factory
discharge point ozone based purifiers, and to fund existing ignored
clean energy sources. Plant lots of trees. Don't sell aerosols. Stop
polluting the clean.
Industrially, ozone air purifies have been in use for
decades. There have been no problems associated with their use, as
long as they are used in average sized rooms, at the levels just
below where someone feels discomfort. Enlightened hospital operating
rooms commonly use ozone air purifiers to keep everything sterile
the doctors and nurses aren't falling over dead with scarred lungs
are they?
Ozone air sterilizer/purifiers/deodorizers are commonly
used: by hotel chains to remove odors; by used car dealers to give
old cars that " new car smell"; by morgues to get ride of
formaldehyde odors; by schools when they refinish a floor, so they
don't have to close the school because of the dangerous refinishing
chemical odors; in bars, comedy clubs, and restaurants - so the
majority non-smokers can patronize them again and go home without
stinking like an ashtray; in fitness/exercise clubs and gymnasiums
where patrons don't smell body odor, they only smell fresh air and
report increased endurance and strength; by grain storage building
owners who report an end to mold and rot.
Owners of animal excretion soiled stable, barns,
veterinary kennels, and professional dog and horse racing paddocks
love them. If the animals could talk, they would probably echo this
sentiment, and describe the air as fresh as a day in the country.
Entrepreneurs even buy - at a discount - sick cattle
who are worn out from antibiotics and drugs, ozonate their air and
water, and then sell them as healthy, disease free animals a year
later at a profit. Plus, the consumer eats chemical free meat. Do
you have any smoke damaged goods? Fire damaged furniture? Stick it
in a room with an ozone air purifier running full tilt, and in a few
days the useless items are restored. The applications are endless,
wherever stale, polluted and toxic odors are encountered.
Factory and closed-up-tight office workers could ask
management to install ozone air purifiers. Management would benefit
at the bottom line, because happy oxygenated workers are more
efficient workers, cheerier to customers, and don't need as many
sick days. In the fifties, ozone air lamps were placed in schools,
and absenteeism dropped. Commercial clothes dryers came with UV
ozone lamps in them. The federal government required their use in
all government restrooms. If your home or work air stinks, think of
ozone solutions.
If some sat only inches from an ozone generator and
breathed deeply for a long time, they might have cell lysis
(destruction) problems. But no one is advocating that, and product
warning labels could handle the liabilities. No one deeply inhales
oven cleaners, paint thinners or other common toxic household
chemicals, and they are available everywhere without restriction
Why should ozone be any different? Jumping on the media
hype- created bandwagon, some government agencies what to regulate
the amount of ozone emitted from an ozone generator. That's not the
point, and way off the mark. The output can't be regulated, because
we never know the size room it will be used in, of the toxic
cellular level of its occupants.
ED McCABE'S CONSUMER SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR OZONE
GENERATORS.
1. Is it a "cold process" ozone generator - the kind that doesn't
create lots of nitric acid out of air nitrogen and moisture?
2. What is the ozone output concentration compared to the size of
the room it is used in?
3. Does the generator have instructive labeling saying: "Operate
only at a level where no discomfort is experienced?
4. Is the generator a quality design, using safe components?
"Ozone is bad" is a great,
quick, one liner for the media to hype, but it is far from reality.
This instant journalism created hysteria is so bad that the "Earth
Day" environmental organizations even emblem their signs with well
meaning but uninformed slogans. In a twisted way, people
subconsciously are made to fear the very act of breathing, so that
every breath taken on a hot summer day in the city is tainted with a
fear of life itself.
At the home level, many thousands of people are now
exploring the many medical oxygen therapies and pollution control
devices I wrote about in my book "Oxygen Therapies." One of the
simplest methods of using ozone at home is by installing a home
ozone air or water purifier. Home purification units aren't
manufactured for medical or industrial purposes. They generally use
air as the incoming gas, and not pure pharmaceutical quality “green
bottle" oxygen - as is required in the medical ozone generators.
However, they do a fine job for what they were designed for, general
air and water purification. There are several brands on the market,
and I use them at home with pleasant results.
Many readers of my "Oxygen Therapies" book have even
called and written to me of their own personal experiences. After
installing air ozonators, they claimed "their house mold went away;"
"the odors stopped," their "emphysema became less," or their "lupus
got better," and one fellow actually told me "the tartar fell off
his teeth!" Sounds fantastic, but hearing these stories first hand
has been my experience.
Of course no one is making illegal medical claims for
these devices, but the anecdotal evidence in this area continues to
amaze us as it piles up steadily. Since anaerobic (most) disease
organisms simply cannot exist in oxygen, then oxygen is the first
line of defense in your immune system. It's also necessary for the
removal of every single bit of toxic waste in your body. Every waste
product that comes out of you is oxygen combined with hydrogen,
nitrogen, sulfur, or carbon. If the toxins in you don't have any
available oxygen to combine with, they pile up inside you and they
can't leave.
Dr. William F. Koch, MD., was a brilliant free radical
chemist and former professor of chemistry at Wayne State University.
He wrote that ALL disease originates from toxins in the body. Now
think about the fact that we were genetically designed during a time
when the atmosphere was 38 to 50 percent richer in oxygen than you
now live in - especially if you live in a city. We are living way
below our optimum efficiency. If your car has dirt in its oil, has
half its air supply cut off, and has never had an air or gas or oil
filter changed, it will die after sputtering along for a while. Our
bodies are vehicles for Soul.
Your liver and kidney and lymph system are the vehicle
filters. You die too soon, and full of dirt as well. The Bible dates
some in the Old Testament as being over 900 years old. How did
dinosaurs get to be 5 stories tall? You can guess why so many are
sick so often in our "modern" society.
I am convinced that what we've presently experiencing
in our society is the rise of the age of toxins, diseases, and
plagues all corresponding to the fall of our planetary and body
oxygen levels. Fueled by greed and self imposed ignorance, the
phenomenon is sad indeed, and unless abated, will drastically change
or even eliminate life on this orb.
Some, including doctors, have added up the numbers, and
concluded that half of the world's population will possibly be dead
from AIDS, alone, in the next 10 to 20 years. I have seen slides
brought back from Africa by Dr. William Douglas, the book author.
Slides of whole villages that are now empty, and roads lined with
burial mounds where the victims fell. Not a fantasy, it's real, it's
right now, and it’s your problem. Pay attention to the warnings.
Take heart my friend; if you're reading this, it's not
over yet.
We can change above dire predictions, if YOU get
involved at some level. Plenty of evidence exists proving that an
increase of planetary and cellular oxygen levels will solve most of
our life threatening industrial and medical problems. Ozone is our
friend. We should get to know it better.
