Misinformation about ozonized olive oil in this forum

Hi,
Please note some misinformation presented recently in this forum.
About three weeks ago, dennis posted the following message:

"Hey people does this water generator have the ability to make ozonated olive oil too or only water.

http://www.justmagnotherapy.com/ozone-generator.html

Anyhelp is greatly appreciated."

"rog" answered:

"Any ozonator that can bubble ozone through water in this fashion
can also bubble ozone through olive oil.

The short answer... Yes."

However this is not true. That particular generator in designet only for water. Its ozone production is only about 200 mg/hour. It shoud be noted that olive or sunflower oil need much more ozone than water. The reason is that ozone reacts immediately with carbon-carbon double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids yelding ozonides, which have antiseptic (and therapeutic) properties. In fact ozonated oils contains no ozone but only ozonides which have very similar properties than ozone. One molecule of fatty acid reacts with one ozone molecule. So you neet about 10-30 GRAMS of ozone for about 100 ml olive oil. By using that particular generator, it takes about 100 hours. Because this generator use air instead of oxygen, it generates at least tiny amounts of hazardous nitrogen oxides. This amount is not remarkable in the ozonation of water because it takes only some minutes. However, the ozonated oil made this generator (within about 100 hours) could be even toxic. So, this generator is simply nos suitable for ozonation of olive oil.

"golfegg" continued:

"I just want to say ozonated olive oil is over hyped. It is weak and is only good for 15 minutes, then you can wash it off. It can take you 10 months to get rid of athletes foot with it, and about a month applying ozone directly. I gave up using olive oil a long time ago. Sorry if I disappointed you.
Take Care,

This is also false comment. Ozonated olive oil is very effective!!! I'm not suprised about the results obtained by Gaylen, if he have used above mentioned generator or if he have not ozonated it much enought. However, many commercial products works very well. Several work have been performed in many laboratories worldwide, proving the efficacy of these producs. See for example:

This recent study showed that ozonated sunflower oil is much more effective than all tested Antibiotics .
