Guest guest Posted January 6, 1988 Report Share Posted January 6, 1988 hi saul some questions and observations first off i'm still confused about ozone as being an electrical therapy or oxygen therapy. in your book you say that drinking ozonated water will provide more oxygen. but on the list here i think you have said that oxygen is the much lesser part of ozone therapy as to be almost negligible???? concerning regular water, do you think that this is a valid way to get oxygen in the body? does it actually get broken down into hydrogen and oxygen? i was recently thinking that distilled water might be a way to deal with mercury, and then i see it printed here today. will this bond be strong enough to safely take it out throught the kidneys and out the body, or is the mercury likely to drop off before it gets out of the body. or is drinking distilled water combined with sauna way to get mercury out of the body. and what is difference between regular distilled water and ozonated distilled water with regard to its effect on mercury? also, just an observation, but i lost my desire for salted food a few years ago. even sea salt doesnt taste good to me. as a result i don't have a desire for any water at all, no thirst. however i do like juicy fruits like melons or vegetable juices. my body seems to know the difference between these liquids as opposed to processed water with minerals. one feels like it is being absorbed, the other feels like it is being forced. if i were to eat alot of regular salt in a meal, then my thirst returns and the water feels like it is being absorbed. i think aajonus made a great point about water. that water is obviously essential to living, and i think he even went so far as to say that dehydration was the root of alot of illness. once a person gets into a severely dehydrated state, simply drinking water is not the solution. but once a person becomes reasonably healthy, then water can be brought back into the equation.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 This is from Saul and I didn't know how much your ozone friends know about using it. You may or may not want to pass this on. I totally disagree with the distilled water. I do think it is hungry and that is why is pull toxins, including heavy metals so well. I do think drinking distilled ozonated water is a great thing.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Dear Jim, From " The Story of Ozone " : " Ozone will not stay in water for very long, even at 4 degrees, so it is best to freshly ozonate water and drink it immediately on an empty stomach, rather than make a large amount and try to store it. It can be stored for longer times by freezing it in plastic containers. " " Ozonated Drinking Water: 1. Bubble ozone through cold water using the white ceramic diffuser at 1/8 liters/minute for 5 minutes for a glass; 15 minutes per liter; one hr. per gallon. 2. Add two drops of Concentrace trace mineral drops to a glass 3. Drink immediately on an empty stomach. " From " The Owner's Manual for the Human Body " : " Six to eight glasses a day will establish a high level of oxygenation in the body and assist detoxification. Bubble ozone into a glass of water for 5 - 10 minutes, then drink on an empty stomach. This will also destroy helicobacter pylori in the stomach, which causes ulcers. " " Water is the second most critical requirement of the body, which is itself 2/3 water. Many aches and pains are the result of inadequate water intake. The body cannot cleanse itself properly without adequate water. Adults need 4 - 6 glasses of water daily, in addition to any other liquids that are ingested. Cut off from water, the body loses energy as metabolism slows down, and ceases functioning after seven to ten days. " " Water needs to be mineralized to be healthful. Distilled water draws minerals from the body, and should be avoided, unless there is a preponderance of heavy metals (such as mercury) that need to be removed. When adding minerals to water, the best source is ionic minerals. A product called Essential Elements is one of the best sources, being made from mineral deposits laid down near the Great Salt Lake, which are reconstituted, with the sodium removed. " " Add two drops of Essential Elements to a glass of clean cold water, ozonate and then drink immediately on an empty stomach. Increase your consumption until eventually you are drinking six to eight glasses over the course of a day. " " Drinking distilled water over a long period of time creates a strong tendency towards mineral deficiency in the body and resulting poor health. The mineral deficient distilled water is hungry for energy, which it obtains by absorbing minerals from the body, some of which can be lost in excretion. If this continues for too long, serious health problems can occur. To remineralize distilled water, add ΒΌ teaspoon of Essential Elements to each gallon of distilled water.

You mentioned that it is nessesary to add a few drops of Concentrace in order to hold the ozone for several months. Would you please elaborate. Another source states that the half life of ozone in water is 80 minutes at 68 deg. F, and 11 days at 4 deg. C. To make one gallon at 1/16 flow takes 20 minutes. What would be the half life of water with Concentrace added? How many drops per gallon? How does one test the ozone concentration in water? How do you determine when you have ozonated the water long enough? Compared to distilling water, how safe is the ozone purified water. How about other contaminates? My understanding is that distilling is the only real safe method purifying water, but the information in your " story " seems to say that ozone will disinfect " all " pathogens and also oxidize " all " pollutents.

We also use the onion soup rather than vit C. The onion soup is neutral am not following about it being too acid. And I also use coliodal minerals and get my vit b and B6 and calcium from Daily Manufacturing. Are you familiar with Daily? I love this program and find it fascinating. Do you have the book The Curse Causeless Shall not Come by Nord Jr and Joanne Fontenot's book No Time To Die? I have a couple more but have read these 2 several times.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 DearJim, You don't test it because it is of no importance. Whether the ORP is 400 or 800 means nothing regarding the efficacy of the therapy. What counts is that you do it repeatedly. If you crank the ORP up to 800 so that ittastes bad and you don't want to drink it, what have you gained? Five minutes ozonating a glass of water at 1/8 l/m at 40 ug/ml has worked for hundredsof people, so go with what works. Bestof Health!

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Dear Saul: I have been lurking on this group for quite a while and have been very impressed with the practical answers you give to people. I have printed out several of your answers and hung them on the wall for reference. So thank you very for much for the very useful information. My background is electrical engineering and I have several patents. That means I am interested in the technical details and theories of how things work. Please be patient with my questions. Feel free to send me searching elsewhere if you do not have access to the information I am looking for. > You don't test it because it is of no importance. I love testing, and find it to be very important. > Whether the ORP is 400 or 800 means nothing Can I take this as hint of how to test the ozone concentration in water? I have a " Pinpoint " ORP probe and controller, and a Hanna ORP meter. So what would you recommend as the optimal or the minimum or maximum ORP to shoot for. What would the ORP value be for the ozone half life point? Dead water has an ORP of +200 to +300 mv? Do you know this number? I would like to test the half life of ozone for various conditions. I can believe that ozone diffusion would be faster at room temperature than at 4 degree C. Until I prove it to myself, I cannot believe that ozone will stay available for months just by adding a few drops of Concentrace. I have ordered a bottle of Concentrace and plan to run the experiment. I do hope that it turns out to be true. Any suggestions for setting up this test would be very much apreciated.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Jim, The maximum output of your generator will determine the maximum level of ozone in the water. After a period of time the water will reach its maxium ozone level and will go no higher. There are differences of opinion on the concentration matter. Saul supports a medium concentration of 40 gamma @1/8 lpm, while others support higher concentrations of 85- 110 gamma @ 1/32 - 1/16 lpm. So Jim, the first thing to do is to quantify the output of your generator, then you can approach what ozone concentrations you have at your disposal. Secondly, you can then start ozonating water and see for yourself what works for you.

After a period of time the water will reach its > maxium ozone level and will go no higher. My thinking is that it makes no difference what the maximum output (gamma) or flow rate is. It is the total accumulation of ozone (ug) in the gallon of water that matters. At high ozone concentration it will just take less time to saturate the water. Eventually the water cannot hold any more and the ozone feed just bubbles through. Although, it could be that at very very low ozone concentration feed rates, the losses from the water surface could exceed the input and limit the ultimate ozone concentration in the water. > Saul supports a medium > concentration of 40 gamma @1/8 lpm, while others support higher > concentrations of 85- 110 gamma @ 1/32 - 1/16 lpm. This will not determine the ozone concentration in the water unless you also state the " volume " of the water being charged and the " time " duration. I just purchased my third ozone generator and have done quite a bit of experimentation. I am working in a vacuum would like to confirm my findings with the experts on this group like Dr. Saul Pressman and you. Any comments and help would be appreciated. I do not mind being told my theories are wrong. You have to start somewhere in order to learn.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Jim, First, I'm not an expert. (I'm sure Saul will correct me for inaccuracies) I could be wrong but my understanding is that water will reach an " ozone saturation ceiling " determined primarily by the gamma output of the generator. The higher the gamma, the higher the ozone level in the water. Once you pass a certain amount of time, the ozone level in the water will go no higher. Narrow tall cylinders are more efficient than short fat ones for ozonating water (with the bubbler at the bottom). As long as you have good bubble output (small bubbles) and good bubble distribution for ozone/water contact I don't think LPM flow rate is that important as long as you have the gamma you are looking for. What are the three ozone generators you have or do own? Why three? Could you give a " product evaluation " of each one?

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I don't think Concentrace is meant to help keep the ozone in the water. It only improves the taste of the ozonated water and supplies needed minerals at the same time.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Dear Ken: Thank you for your comments. I have no problem believing your statement. But, I am looking to resolve the statement in Dr. Saul Pressman's book " The Story of Ozone " which states: " To hold ozone in the water over long periods, it is necessary to add a few drops of Concentrace, which is a solution of trace minerals from the Great Salt Lake with the sodium, cadmium, copper and lead removed. Th ozone hangs on to the minerals without oxidizing them and remains available over many months. " I am waiting to hear a comment about that from Dr. Saul Pressman. I would like to know how he or someone else did the research to determine this. Jim Meissner Re: A question about ozonated water > > > Dear : > > Thank you for sharing your experience.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Dear Dennis: > Could you give a " product evaluation " of each one? I got started by buying a fish tank ozonator. AquaZone200, Ozonizer & Redox Controller, Red sea Fish pHarm Ltd. $400.00 Works well, puts out lots of ozone and can produce over +1100 mv ORP in water. Have had lots of problems with the ORP probe, keeping it clean and in calibration. I would guess that this unit is a " hot spark " type using a flyback high voltage tranformer. I cannot see what materials are used in the generator. Even using an air dryer it puts out Nitric oxide(sp?) and makes the ozonated water taste bitter. Sander Ozonizer, Model 25, $90 This uses a " cold plama " type of system, with about 1000 volts AC 60 Hz applied to a glass rod filled with iron oxide. This is inside an aluminum tube which oxidizes and needs to be cleaned often. I guess you get what you pay for. Recently I bought a " real " ozonizer that uses oxygen and a calibrated flow meter. Vel-Mar Scientific, Model VM-90, $1500? (used) This unit is a " cold plama " type using an automotive ignition coil driven by a 12 volt transistor pulse system running at about 400 Hz. I have not taken it apart, but it looks like a glass tube inside a stainless steel pipe. There are lots of heatsink fins on the pipe. Lots of professional looking accessories. A humidifier, olive oil bubbler, ear insulfation device, mask for beathing ozone bubbled through olive oil. I am looking at the Sota instruments Ozonator model WOZ4 for $275 that claims to not produce (NOx) using air. I like this as I would prefer not to have to get oxygen. ( any comment about that unit ) So far I cannot afford the $3000 cadilac that Dr. Saul Pressman makes.

I like this as I would prefer not to >have to get oxygen. ( any comment about that unit ) > SOTA is a class act (i.e. high quality). What do you want to accomplish with ozone? Just ozonating water? Any serious ozone work will require a sourse of oxygen either from a tank or concentrator. At the input to any ozone generator I would install a HEPA filter and an air dryer. Dry air will reduce the NOx and the HEPA filter will keep the generator internals clean. Does Vel-Mar have a website?

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Dear Jim, When I replied to your original query, I pointed out that the information you quoted is no longer in my books. That information was supplied from a person with experience in the field, and when I wrote the book in 1994, I took it at face value. Subsequently, I discovered that this was not the case, and amended the books by deleting that information. At room temperature, the only way accepted for holding ozone in water is in distilled water. Double distilled will last 2 days and triple distilled water will stay for 3 - 4 days, according to the literature. Refrigerating the water changes everything, as ozone is very temperature sensitive. The colder the water, the longer the ozone will stay. If the water is frozen, it will stay at least 6 months, and maybe longer. Fisherman use this trait and take ozonated ice to sea, and are able to stay out longer and return with bigger catches, and still not lose freshness. ORP is related to ozone concentration. The higher the concentration, the higher the ORP. This does not necessarily mean that it is THERAPEUTICALLY better, however, because there are more factors involved, not least of which is taste. I have noticed that water ozonated with higher concentrations (and therefore higher ORP) does not taste as good as water ozonated with lower concentrations. For our own use, we are using a Model 30 unit built in 1996, which supplies ozone at 30 ug/ml. The Alpha generator, at twice the concentration, does not taste as good to us, so we don't use it for water. Since we like the taste of ozonated water done at 30 ug/ml, we will stick with it. And now I am going back to the beach.... Best of Health!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Dear Saul: Thank you for clearing that up. The Concentrace holding ozone for months just did not make sense. But it would have been nice if true. I am planning on giving ozonated water to my friends that cannot afford a generator, so having a few days of shelf life would be great. Thanks for the tip about distilled water, refrigerated and frozen. Never heard about freezing it before. I gave a friend a gallon of ozonated water and told her to keep it in the refrigerator. Today, 4 days later she brought some back and it still reads +650 mv ORP. So that seems to work. > And now I am going back to the beach.... Are you in Australia?
