Clean Air is one of our greatest
natural resources. The Air we breathe in Homes and Buildings
contributes to our personal health.
Did you realize that the cause of Half of ALL
respiratory illness in America has been
attributed
to the poor quality of indoor air in our homes and buildings.
Clean Air Legislation
-
The U. S. Congress passed the first Clean Air legislation in 1955,
which recognized air pollution as a problem of national proportion.
The Clean Air Act of 1963, which was revised in 1970 and 1990,
subsequently addressed the issues of air-quality standards, motor
vehicle emissions and alternative fuels, toxic air pollutants, acid
rain, and stratospheric ozone depletion.

Ozone Theory
-
Ozone is a highly reactive form of oxygen which is finding many
purifying uses today, as bleach for waxes, oils, and textiles, and as
a deodorizing agent, for instance. Because it is a powerful germicide,
it is also used to sterilize air and drinking water.
-
Ozone Therapy
-
Since ozone is antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal, over 7000
doctors in Germany use the Discosan method to treat various diseases.
In Italy, Dr. Cesare Verga has treated over 6000 patients with ozone
for herniated disks with a 95% success rate.
-
Ozone Applications
-
Ozone has long been internationally recognized as the most
powerful oxidant next to hydroxyl. Both the EPA and the FDA
acknowledge ozone's ability to oxidize 99.9992% of all waterborne
pathogens. Although 16 countries now allow the use of ozone as a
therapeutic technique, it is only being slowly introduced into US
medical treatments.
-
The History of Medicinal Ozone
-
Both ozone and negative ions are naturally-occurring, active
molecules that sanitize, deodorize, and revitalize the air by
combining with pollutants. A rising phenomenon known as sick building
syndrome has been attributed to the unnatural absence of ozone and
ions in closed buildings.
-
The History of the Clean Air Act
-
Our air in the atmosphere is something we have taken for granted
in the past, but, in the last forty years or so, scientists, elected
officials, and the general public have begun to realize the effects of
pollutants on the air we breathe.
-
Health Enhancer
-
Ozone
is an energized molecule that not only protects us from ultra-violet
rays, but also attacks contaminants in the air, for example, in
smog. It has been used in medicine since 1857 to fight pathogenic
germs, and even AIDS and cancer.
-
Hydrogen Peroxide
Experimental
bio-oxidative therapies use small amounts of diluted ozone and
hydrogen peroxide, two active agents, to supplement the natural
oxidation process that breaks down toxins in the body into carbon
dioxide and water.
