Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 Hi all, Just wanted to say a few words about homozon. Recently it was talked about, comparing it to other bowel cleaners and I wanted to mention, that tho it does clean the bowel, that is not its primary function. The man who created it intended it to be a product that moved ozone into the system, for the purpose of healing and cleansing the body as a whole. This morning I received this post from the ozonetherapy list and thought I would forward it here so that you could read a little on the purpose of oxygen/ozone and see why homozon is much more than a bowel cleansing product. In the mind of the person who created it, the bowel cleansing effect is merely a side effect/benefit. I personally take it for the ozone benefits and do consider the bowel cleansing effect just a side benefit. Blessings, Donna Re: [ozonetherapy] Both Oxidant and Antioxidant? Ozone is created by passing oxygen through a highly charged tube, where billions of electrons bombard the oxygen. The oxygen picks up some of these electrons and a percentage of it becomes ozone. After having been bombarded with billions of electrons, the ozone somehow comes out hungry for more electrons. This is the paradox of ozone. Any substance hungry for electrons is called an oxidant. Ozone is an oxidant par excellence, leaving behind few undesirable products from its action, as compared to chlorine, which leaves carcinogenic leftovers in its path. This is why ozone is a superior disinfectant compared to chlorine. In the human body, oxygen is a necessity in order to combine with the products of the Krebs cycle, and ensure that there are no leftovers from each chemical reaction. Without the oxygen, the ATP output from the mitochondria in each cell drops by 80%. There are many defenses that the body uses to handle oxidative stress. The major ones are the free radical scavenging enzymes produced in good cells - glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase and reductase. These enzymes ensure that there are no leftover free radicals from the reactions taking place in the cell, after the sugar supply is burned. As long as these enzymes are in good supply, and can physically contact the free radicals normally produced in every chemical reaction, there is no problem. The system runs smoothly, in complete balance. When the supply of oxygen is reduced, due to dietary insufficiency, or other cause, then toxic buildup can occur. It is like having a garbage strike. These unburned toxins physically prevent the enzymes from contacting the free radicals produced in every chemical reaction, and therefore the radicals can escape their appointed fate, and run around doing damage, stealing electrons. This is the free radical oxidative damage which is touted on every side as the cause of all that ails mankind. So what is the solution? If more oxygen is added to the equation, the toxins will be burned up, the enzymes will be able to do their job and there will be no free radical oxidative damage. So in this case, oxygen (ozone) is acting as an anti-oxidant, indirectly. This is what I was referring to in my earlier post when I said that ozone can act as an oxidant or an anti-oxidant, depending on circumstances. It is when the entire picture is taken into consideration that this becomes a fact. Best of Health!
