A friend's father had the treatment to cure his cancer.

It didn't and he died just before Xmas.

i have an ozonator. i use it every day, several times a day by ozonating tap water. i think Cyprus grump is referring to ozonating steam bath. it helps for cancer, but other protocols need to be followed too. i am not a health expert and can't remember why i originally got it, but whether luck or the ozonator, i am rarely ill, over 4 years without so much as a cold, and take no medication. you pay your money, you take your choice, as they say1

Please may I intervene at a scientific level? Ozone is a poisonous gas and can be dangerous. There is a rule of thumb, as a gas, if you can smell it, it is already at a very dangerous level for a prolonged exposure. The safety regulations are summarised in http://www.delozone.com/files/4-0697_Rev_D.pdf - read sections II and VI in particular.

Ozone dissolved in water may also be very unsafe, depending on conditions. However, ozone coming in contact with organic contaminants will generally destroy living organisms, but the 'corpses' will remain; no amount of ozonation will remove them. Only a microfilter ( <0.1 µm) will do so after the tratment. The half-life of ozone in pure water at 20°C is approx 15 minutes, so it is recommended NEVER to drink freshly ozonated water, because it will attack the mouth, gullet and stomach tissues. Always wait, say, 45 minutes after ozonation before drinking freshly treated cold water. You can use it immediately if heated (tea, coffee etc) because ozone is insoluble in hot water. Ozone will not remove water 'hardness'. Provided that the incoming water is considered as 'safe' drinking water, ozonation is a waste of time and money and will offer no health benefits in the ordinary household. It will offer no improvement. See http://www.o3international.com/aboutOzo ... _water.pdf

Note that the above statement applies to ordinary household drinking water. Ozonation of swimming pools as a substitute for chlorine is a totally different story.

Ozone/ oxygen Therapy was suggested to me by Dr Mala following a period when I had a very bad upper respiratory infection. It was done in the form of treatment which she calls "an infusion". It was called Ozone therapy which was to help oxygenate my blood to give me more energy. It seemed to work. Certainly no adverse effects.
