Ozone Therapy Debunked – Part 3

November 24, 2017 // 1 Comment

It’s been quite some time since I last sat down and wrote a blog post on the subject of ozone therapy – an alternative treatment (aka something that has not been proven to work) in which proponents recommend exposing yourself to relatively large concentrations of this toxic gas. Those who recommend it believe that ozone has the ability to cure, amongst other things, cancer, AIDS, and multiple sclerosis – despite the fact there is no credible, peer reviewed evidence to support the use of [...]

Ozone is a pale blue gas with a distinctively pungent smell whose antibacterial properties were known even before its structure.

However, like so many redundant medical practices, it has been adopted by the alternative medicine crowd where its proponents are [...]

Even before its structure was known, ozone was, and still is to this day, used as a water and air steriliser, as well as a surface disinfectant.

It was the summer of 2012 and I was in the middle of a wood trying to light a campfire when, without warning, the heavens opened. Luckily for me and the people I was with, shelter was not far away and we all began to run towards it. As we did, I started to get a strange feeling on my arms as if something was tugging at my hair. I stopped to look and saw that my hair, even [...]
