Re: Ozonated olive oil contains no ozone
"I just realized who you are. You emailed me about a week ago with the ozone studies on cancer, remember? golfegg@hotmail.com?..."
Yes I remember you. In fact I usually agree perfecly with dr. Pressman, who certainly is an expert in this field. However, I often disagree with Ed McCabe or other non scientists. Their stories about patients are propably true, but they often know only little about the exact mechanisms of ozone therapies.
"You're from Dr. Pressmans group. Your site is
http://www.otsoniterapia.net."
Yes, you are right, and I'm the man in the picture.
"You do have a great collection of studies on ozone!"
Yes I have, and the list in my web pages contains only those studies, which I have a copy or even original issue of the journal. I have also several hundred abstract from medical papers of russian School of ozone therapy, but not original articles. Propably my collection is one of the worlds most complete. I have written a complete book (in finnish) on the ozone and hydrogen peroxide therapies, and next edition is coming soon.
Ok, we agree pure ozone is better. The ozonated ice cubes we seem to disagree on? Can you explain how “Freezing doesn't destroy ozone, but it doesn't also protect it.“?
Ozone molecules are always in random motion. When molecules collides with each other, they will break down yelding diatomic oxygen. In high temperatures, the motion is higher, and half life of ozone is shorter. When ozone concentration is high, the collision propability is also high, and degradation rate is also high. This explais, why high ozone concentration are more unstable than small amounts. I'm now on holiday, so I can't check the exact half lifes in various temperatures, but in water, above 4 oC it is less than half minute. in Fridge, pure ozonated water can be stored about one day, but concetration is much lesser than recently ozonaed water. In freeze, the random motion of molecules is low, but not non-existent. Thus the ozone destruction occurs also in ice althoug much slower rate. I have not tested, could the water crystallization destroy some ozone, but propably it happens. So, if there are some ozone left in ice cubes,the concentration is very much lower than in recently ozonated cold water.
Can you also explain the triolein triozonide? I looked it up and couldn't find anything on it. Also what are ozonides?
Triolein triozonide is a kind of ozonide which is formed by ozonization of oleic acid (which is one component in olive oil). These ozonides have similar antiseptic properties like ozone, but are structurally very different compounds.
