As effective and scientific as magnetic/ balance wristbands.

I thought ozone is toxic? The wikipedia page on it, especially how it's introduced into the body doesn't sound like fun (depending on your point of view)... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_therapy

Ah, slightly not.

 

Ozone kills humans.

 

The other stuff is just nonsense.

 

@OP, run away from this scam.

I thought ozone is toxic?

 

100%

 

I'll post some of the science later. I had to research this a while ago.

Only experience I had was, I could hold my breath for about 55 sec and after breathing ozone for 30 sec I could hold my breath for 2 min. Guess treatment could have some advantages.

YOU SIT IN A "HOT BOX"TYPE CHAMBER AND THEY "PUMP"IT FULL OF OZONE/O2 AND IT APPARENTLY WORKS WELL BECAUSE YOUR SYSTEM ABSORBS THE O2 WELL AND IT SPEEDS UP HEALING

The same chemical properties that allow high concentrations of ozone to react with organic material outside the body give it the ability to react with similar organic material that makes up the body, and potentially cause harmful health consequences. When inhaled, ozone can damage the lungs (see - "Ozone and Your Health"). Relatively low amounts can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath, and, throat irritation. Ozone may also worsen chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and compromise the ability of the body to fight respiratory infections. People vary widely in their susceptibility to ozone. Healthy people, as well as those with respiratory difficulty, can experience breathing problems when exposed to ozone. Exercise during exposure to ozone causes a greater amount of ozone to be inhaled, and increases the risk of harmful respiratory effects. Recovery from the harmful effects can occur following short-term exposure to low levels of ozone, but health effects may become more damaging and recovery less certain at higher levels or from longer exposures (US EPA, 1996a, 1996b).

Manufacturers and vendors of ozone devices often use misleading terms to describe ozone. Terms such as "energized oxygen" or "pure air" suggest that ozone is a healthy kind of oxygen. Ozone is a toxic gas with vastly different chemical and toxicological properties from oxygen. Several federal agencies have established health standards or recommendations to limit human exposure to ozone. These exposure limits are summarized in Table 1.

I have had numerous people try and sell me this crap as an alternative to my chemo. As above, I think ozone is toxic and wont touch it. Their theory is that cancer cannot survive in an oxygenated environment and ozone is the best way to introduce oxygen into the body. EPO is far more effective.

But only after necessary treatment? So instead of 4-6 weeks recovery it will be less?

[DIPSLICK]

Whats that?

TIRED OF A MILLION DIFFERENT OPINIONs, getting bos/mal/frustrated/irritated/fat/lazy/unfit...........

[NotSoBigBen]

With it you will recover in 4 weeks, without in 28 days

They even sell ozonated water.
