Ozone is a form of oxygen - an unstable form. Stable oxygen that we breathe in every day is O2. Ozone is O3 so there is an extra electron looking to pair itself. This instability is what makes ozone a universal cleanser. Lightning creates ozone and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in our atmosphere and in our waters to help cleanse our planet. O3 breaks down in water to H2O and O2.

Ozone is widely used in Europe for purifying drinking water and swimming pools. Ozone is also used to purify bottled waters. Ozone is used extensively in medicine in Germany and Cuba by either infusing it or injecting it directly into the blood stream. In medical applications: "It is the aim of ozone-oxygen therapy to stimulate or reactivate oxygen metabolism, without damage to the protecting oxidative enzymes..."

In countries where ozone is used extensively to cure diseases, that maximum is well understood. Ozone is inexpensive especially in comparison to pharmaceuticals. This is the most likely reason the North American medical system blocks the use of ozone.

Ozone at higher levels in the atmosphere helps protect our planet. Ozone in the air at ground level, however, has a bad name as it is associated with air pollution. When air is heavily polluted ozone forms in an effort to clean the air. Remember ozone is nature's most powerful cleanser. Ozone is hard on lungs so it is not a good idea to breathe in too much ozone.

"...oxygen is the most important healing substance, the most effective detox agent, the premium blood cleanser, the most potent antibiotic, a versatile hormone, a blood clotter and declotter, and the conductor of the orchestra of the immune system."

Why then is the use of ozone so controversial? Ozone's extra electron makes it suspect in some circles as a free radical. Free radicals are formed naturally within our bodies to clean up toxins and carry them out of our systems. Free radicals are often formed in excess today as a result of environmental pollutants as well as diets heavy in sugars and rancid oils. These excess free radicals snatch electrons from healthy molecules and are considered a primary cause of aging. The body needs help to supply these free radicals with electrons. Once satisfied with an electron, they can be eliminated from the body before they do further harm. Ozone satisfies free radicals by providing the needed electrons. Ozone is a free radical scavenger.

Certain vitamins and minerals have been named "antioxidants." This makes it sound like it is a good idea to reduce oxygen! We need all the oxygen we can get as the amount of oxygen in the air is much reduced today than it was: "Many scientists were stunned recently when it was revealed that air bubbles trapped in fossilized amber had been analyzed and found to contain oxygen levels of 38%. Yet today it is well known that the average oxygen content of air is only 19% to 21%. In other words, since the early history of the earth, it appears there has been a whopping 50% drop in the average oxygen content of air we breathe!"

Vitamins and minerals do help protect the body from harmful free radicals but it is misleading when they are referred to as "antioxidants." Free radical protectors would be a more accurate term - and remember excess free radicals are created by pollution not oxygen.

To repeat, ozone helps mop up free radicals. Dr. Majid Ali has extensive experience with oxygen therapies - including ozone. He has discovered that ozone is effective as a medical therapy because it acts to protect in the same way that "antioxidants" do. He describes this process in his latest book, "Oxygen and Aging."

Our bodies desperately need more oxygen. Cancer cells, for instance, can only grow in an anaerobic or oxygen deficient environment. In "Ozone, The Eternal Purifier of the Earth and Cleanser of All Living Beings," H.E. Sartori describes the results of live-blood analysis using phase contrast and darkfield microscopy after ozone was injected into a terminal lung cancer patient. Red blood cell membranes were strengthened; the immune system was strengthened; all pathogens including bacteria, viruses and fungi were removed. He concludes, "Ozone purifies blood by eliminating foreign materials."

Bob Beck was on the lecture circuit at health shows to make his discoveries known. At his lectures, he also provided papers with information about his work and the schematics to build units. These lectures gave Bob an opportunity to talk with many people who had either bought or built his units and were using them to improve their health. One problem kept recurring. Many experienced flu-like symptoms as a result of the die-off of the pathogens. The body was not able to expel the toxins fast enough. Bob always stated the importance of drinking enough water to help flush toxins but one day he realized adding ozone to the water would speed the detoxification process. Ozone is a great detoxifier but ozone was generally only available using expensive medical devices. Bob visited a fish supply store as he knew they used ozone to keep the fish tanks oxygenated. Eureka! Bob and his friends started freshly ozonating a glass of water before drinking it. Bob used a pulse oxymeter on the finger to measure blood oxygen saturation and discovered, water saturated with ozone would increase the level of oxygen in the blood. Thus the fourth part of The Beck Protocol was added - drinking freshly ozonated water to help flush toxins.
