Ozone (O3) Therapy - Powerful Bio-oxidative Healing Tool
Simple Instructions - How to Apply Ozone Therapy at Home
How to choose an ozone generator for home use
Ozone
Generator Types
Ozone's medicinal effects were discovered
in the 19th century and clinically applied to wounds and infections during World
War I. However, it was not until the late 1950's that
ozone generation equipment was capable of delivering pure and reliable oxygen-ozone
mixtures. Today, ozone is generated from a source
of oxygen with 3 main technologies:
1) Ultraviolet radiation.
Created naturally when ultraviolet
radiation from the sun contacts the oxygen in the earth's atmosphere.
• Low ozone
concentrations can be created using an ultraviolet bulb. However,
the bulb quickly loses its efficacy, and it may be difficult to find a generator
that can produce the minimum 5% concentration required for therapy .
• 100% oxygen source is NOT required.
S ince this clean production method does not form harmful nitrous oxide.
• UV Ozone generator is the only ozone
generation technology to produce Hydroxyl Radicals
( OH-)
2) Corona discharge.
Electrical sparks are generated
via a tube with a hot or cold anode surrounded by a metal anode and passed through
an oxygen-rich environment. The best corona discharge generators
are called dual dielectric, having a glass layer separating each component from
the gas stream, and so prevent contamination of the ozone.
• The major drawback of these generators
is lack of durability. Due to the current draw to the metal, they are
prone to electrical arcing and burnout, thereby shortening their life length., especially
if any water enters the tube.
• These generators also need large cooling
fans - to dissipate the heat created.
3)
Cold plasma (invented by Nicola Tesla).
An ionic flow is induced in a glass cathode
tube filled with a noble gas, which is highly electrified.
This unit is enveloped in a second tube, usually 316 L grade steel, which
is the second electrode, through which pure oxygen is passed. The second electrode
acts only as a ground and does not receive any direct current, hence avoiding arcing.
The flow of plasma within the tube induces the oxygen molecules to break apart and
re-form as O3 .
Ozone Generator for Medical
Application
For medical applications at home it is necessary to have
a medical grade ozone
generator. A good quality, cold plasma medical generator
to handle most home applications can be obtained for ~$2000 (as of
2/2013), or for a generator that is powerful enough to also supply a sauna ~$3,200.
The cost of a sauna cabinet is an additional $3400. (Dr. Saul Pressman
of Plasmafire Intl®at www.plasmafire.com provides quality generators).
Oxygen Input Source
For home medical applications the oxygen source used
should be at least 90% pure. The choices are:
• An oxygen tank
(100% oxygen)
• It can be difficult to obtain refills for a
tank, but sometimes a garage will fill it for you (acetylene welding torches need
O2 ).
• Oxygen tank requires a low-flow regulator,
usually called a pediatric regulator, which enables settings of 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, ¼and ½L/M
(Liters/minute)
Or
• A good quality oxygen
concentrator costs ~ $1000
To make ozonated water
it is sufficient to use an
ozone generator with
air input . SOTA® makes a quality,
air-fed water ozonator;
Minor or major autohemotherapy, or direct injection into
veins or tumors requires a 100% oxygen source .
i.e. from an oxygen tank,
