AN OZONATOR/IONIZER AIR PURIFIER TO ENHANCE YOUR OXYGEN INTAKE
by Lawrence Wilson, MD

A common type of air purifier called an ozonator/ionizer air purifier can be used in a special way
to add extra oxygen to your body.
It is a wonderful and simple way to enhance your health. I highly recommend it as part of every
nutritional balancing program. Most
people tolerate the ozone very well.
A few have lung irritation from it, but in almost all instances, they
solve this by just turning the ozone level down on the machine.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The air ozonator/ionizer that
I recommend is a small machine that converts some of the oxygen in the room (O2)
to ozone or O3. This is a less
stable form of oxygen, but one that our bodies can utilize.
As the machine converts some of the oxygen in the
room to ozone, more oxygen from other rooms or the outside is drawn into the
bedroom to maintain the normal oxygen content of the air. This means that the total oxygen
content of the room increases to a significant degree as a combination of 02
and 03.
By breathing this all night every night, you will
significantly increase the amount of oxygen getting into your body. This is
the basic idea of using this machine in your bedroom while you sleep.
You can also leave the machine on all day, and it
will clean and help oxygenate the air in your bedroom and entire home all day,
as well.
USING
THE AIR PURIFIER TO INCREASE OXYGEN IN THE BODY
The
manufacturer of the ozone air purifier will suggest placing the machine in the
middle of the home. However, to
obtain the most oxygen possible requires a different placement of the
machine. For the best effect, do
the following:
1.
Place the air machine in your bedroom.
This way, during the night while asleep, you will breathe a significant
amount of extra oxygen. Most
people breathe the deepest while they sleep. This is one reason why people snore, as they are breathing
heavily.
2.
Place the air machine high up, such as on a shelf or book case high off the
ground. This helps
circulate the ozone better.
3.
Turn the ozone control of the machine to about halfway or so, and maybe less if
you find it irritating. This will
usually be plenty of ozone. If you
turn it up too much, you may not like the smell of the ozone, which has a
slightly acrid smell for some people.
It can also be a little irritating.
4.
Turn the fan control to a low setting if you wish. This way it wonÕt make too much noise
that might interfere with sleep. A
higher fan speed is fine, however.
NOTE:
This is different from the instructions that come with most ozonator/ionizer
air machines. They usually do not
recommend placing the unit in the bedroom. However, their instructions are designed for the use of the
machine mainly remove cigarette and other odors from the home. Ozone and negative ions are great for
this purpose. Some hospitals use
ozone to purify the air. In fact,
some nations purify their water supply with ozone, a much better system than
using chlorine or bromine, as is done in the United States.
However,
with a nutritional balancing program, this machine is used to increase
oxygenation of the body, mainly at night while sleeping. That is why placing the machine in the
bedroom is best.
ARE
THERE ANY PROBLEMS WITH USING AN OZONE PURIFIER IN THIS WAY?
The only
problems we have encountered are:
1.
Smell. Ozone has a slightly acrid, fresh
smell. Most people hardly notice
it. Some people, however, do not
like the smell. Turn the machine
down a little if it really bothers you.
However, it is very helpful for most people, as explained above, so if
possible put up with the odor.
2.
Healing reactions. Rarely,
someone reports that the machine causes a little lung irritation. In all of these cases, so far, this is
actually a healing reaction.
The person has a slight chronic bronchial infection and the ozone plus
extra oxygen begins a healing reaction in the bronchial tubes that will cause
you to cough or feel some irritation.
It tends to go away after a short time.
The extra
oxygen will also heal other infections in your body. One client reported that the first night she used the
machine she awoke in the morning and her eyes were puffy. Most likely this was a healing
reaction. The problem went away in
one day, and she has had no further problems.
3.
Sensitivity to ozone. It is
possible that someone could be sensitive to ozone, but I have not seen it. If your lungs are irritated by the
ozone, you can just decrease the ozone level a little bit. Most people who are sensitive to ozone,
which are very few, develop a tolerance for the machine within a few days.
Dangers
of ozone. I am aware of the dangers of ozone, and
that the state of California does not permit the sale of ozonators
in California because they claim they are somehow dangerous.
The reason
we may not have any problem with these machines, even with people with asthma,
may be due to their design, or may be due to the fact that anyone on a
nutritional balancing program is so well-nourished that it offsets any possible
irritation from ozone exposure.
4. Oxidant problems. Ozone is a potent
oxidizing agent. This leads some
people to think that breathing more ozone will cause oxidant damage to the
body. We have not observed this. One reason is that I also recommend a
very mineral-rich diet. A diet
rich in cooked vegetables will be very rich in natural anti-oxidants that
protect the body from oxidant damage.
5.
Sensitivity of some types of rubber to ozone. Ozone will
eventually degrade some types of rubber.
I have not found this to be a problem in the bedroom, as most people do
not keep rubber products there.
OTHER
BENEFITS - NEGATIVE IONS ALSO HELPFUL FOR HEALING
Negative
ions are negatively charged electrons.
The ozonator/ionizer machine also produces them. When they combine with dust and dirt in
the home, the negative charge of the ions causes the dirt and other particles
to fall to the floor so they do not float in the air.
This is
another excellent benefit of this machine. It is another way to purify the air in home without needing
a filter. The negative ions and
the ozone make an excellent combination to clean up the air in the home.
Extra
negative ions are helpful for all indoor environments. The reason is that while they are
produced naturally out of doors, they are destroyed rather quickly indoors due
to contact with metallic air ducts, electrical devices and more. For this reason, most indoor air is low
in negative ions. It does not
matter if one lives in the city or in the rural areas.
The
healing properties of negative ions.
Many
studies show that negative ions have subtle positive effects upon our bodies
that are not well understood. They
appear to help relax the nervous system, improve mood, and have other benefits
as well.
OTHER
USES FOR THE AIR MACHINE
The machine
I recommend comes with a filter that removes some dust and smaller particles
from the air. Ozone also kills
bacteria and mold spores. The
combination of ozone, negative ions, and air filtration makes these machines
very attractive for most people, and very cost-effective as well.
OTHER
USES FOR OZONATOR/IONIZER MACHINES
An ozonator/ionizer machine has many other fascinating uses
that can make owning one very worthwhile.
Among the most important are:
1.
Fumigating and disinfecting your entire house, or a room, an automobile, or
perhaps air ducts. For example,
if one has had a flood or mold problem, leaving the unit closed up in the room
or area for a week or more can kill mold without the need for chemicals that
are often as toxic as the mold itself.
In a
sickroom or hospital, running the machine will help disinfect everything in the
room, including equipment, to reduce the possibility of spreading germs from
one person to another. Ozone will
gently penetrate into all cracks and crevices in the room, even under sheets
and blankets, to help kill germs of all kinds.
One can
literally fumigate the room in a totally harmless way by locking the machine in
a room and turning it up to full strength and leaving it there for a few days,
if needed. People and animals
should stay out of the room during this time, as the ozone level will be too
high for comfort. Similarly, one
can fumigate an automobile or any other similar space by simply setting up the
machine and letting it run in the area for a day or more.
I have used
this machine to get rid of new car odors, pet odors, formaldehyde odor in new
furniture, new carpeting odor and other types of chemical smells. The ozone is
excellent because it gently penetrates deeply into synthetic fabrics and other
odor-causing materials. This is
much better than covering up odors with chemical scents. The ozone actually breaks down the
chemicals and when the job is done, no chemical residue from the ozone remains.
2.
In theory, the machine could be used to generate ozone that could be added to a
sauna, to drinking water, to a hot tub or bath, or for other purposes. Ozone is a fascinating substance to
oxygenate the body, deodorize and kill all manner of germs, and for other
purposes.
The machine
we recommend is not designed for these extra purposes, but it could be adapted,
if needed, by simply placing a large funnel over the front of the machine.

similar machines, if you prefer another brand. This one is fine and the price is one of the best I have
seen.
OZONATOR/IONIZER MAINTENANCE
1.
Filter.
The air filter in the back of the unit must be washed out in plain water once a
month or so, in most cases, to keep it functioning properly. It is easy to remove by loosening a few
screws. I am told not to wash the
filter with soap, as it might clog it.
Just use plain water.
2.
Ozone plates. Ozone is
produced in these machines with one or two ceramic plates with a wire screen
attached to them. These plates
must be removed and cleaned with simple water and soap every few months, as
they will build up some dust and dirt, and can stop functioning properly. To remove them, first remove the air
filter. Then gently pull out the
plates to clean them. Be sure to
return them to the unit in exactly the same way they were removed. In a few years, the ceramic plates may
begin to crack and can be replaced inexpensively.
3.
General dusting. Because the
machines produce a lot of negative ions, they might attract some dust and
dirt. Periodically check and dust
off the machine or wash the case with a little water and soap, as needed.
