4 Myths About Ozonated Water Exposed- Ozone Does Not Cure Cancer
78Ozone water is a wonderful addition to the home, however, it frustrates me that there is so much misinformation permeating the Internet. In this brief article, I hope to dispel the myths and clarify what this great new product can do for families.
Myth #1 Ozone Water Can Cure - Absolutely False. I have been following ozonated water for an extended period of time. During this time, I am greatly dismayed at the unsubstantiated claims about “cures”; especially claims that ozone cures cancer. I have spoken with various manufacturers, watched educational videos and read the weekly alerts I receive.
As one of our readers has correctly pointed out, ozone has the power to help our immune system which can help us fight diseases. "Cure" is not appropriate, boost our immune system - absolutely.
Let me repeat: Ozonated water only boosts the immune system; ozonated water will not cure any disease, ozone does not "cure" cancer.
Ozonated water can be utilized as a disinfectant. Ozonated water can prolong the life of vegetables and fruit because it kills bacteria. Ozonated water can help somewhat with digestive problems and sinuses because it serves as an antioxidant. However, Ozonated water is not a cure. Reputable manufacturers here in the United States, do not oversell ozone water and they provide research to back up any claims. They tell the story, the true story. Why is this important to me? Because I lost my husband to pancreatic cancer. I feel the pain of the family members desperately seeking a cure or grasping for a solution. Ozonated water is wonderful. It is pure. it can be a disinfectant for up to 30 minutes but it is not a cure.
Myth #2 Ozone Water Harms Plastic - Absolutely False The statement "ozone water will hurt plastic" is simply not true. Plastic containers can be used. Metal and glass are preferred.
Ozone is stronger than chlorine so this is where this myth first began.
Ozonated water does make the best sanitizer and the purest drinking water.
Myth #3 Reverse Osmosis is just as good as Ozone Water - Aboslutely False This is another falsehood. Reverse Osmosis has many great features, but R.O. is strictly a filtration system and does not disinfect. R.O. will not eliminate E. coli, salmonella and other bacteria, viruses and mold.
UV can fight bacteria but UV is limited by the line of sight.
Myth#4 Ozone Water is New - Absolutely False This surprised me the most. Ozonated water has been used commercially for years. My hot tub uses ozonated water! Commercial swimming pools in Canada are mandated to use ozonated water. What is new is the safe and compact technology. Never before has the ability to mimic Mother Nature been available in a table top model with zero waste. This is truly a green product. It uses very little electricity. And it does really deliver much like Mother Nature the very purest water. And the layered ozonated water IF delivered in sufficient strength has been independently proven to disinfect other surfaces for up to 30 minutes.
Layered ozonated water is now. Ozonated water is over 150 years "old".
WATER BACKGROUND OF THE AUTHOR
What is my background with water? For close to 2 decades, I was a CFO for premier local governments. Part of my job was to set water and sewer utility rates. I started my career as an utility accountant for the 2nd largest water utility in Illinois. I worked closely with water production and distribution. I also visited the largest water in Illinois utility to learn about their financial systems and also their distribution and production. Many years later, when I was running personnel, I was challenged by a police officer for the high pay for our water production staff in relative terms to the public safety officers. Water production is the team that ensures the water quality, water distribution provides the valves and mains to transport the water to your home. These staff members take special pride in their jobs and rightfully so. They are trained professional who truly care about water quality. What frustrates them is the inability to control the quality of the water after it leaves their system. The service lines and the household plumbing has lead and other bacteria. The quality of your water is dependent not just upon the quality of water they deliver into the distribution system but also includes your household water sitting in your service line and sitting in your household plumbing. Simply stated, stagnant water has a greater possibility of bacteria than flowing water. I cannot over emphasize always running your faucet before using the water for drinking.
ALWAYS RUN YOUR FAUCET BEFORE USING TAP WATER FOR DRINKING WATER
Wise use of water is always running your tap before you use your faucet for water. This is not wasteful, it is wise once you understand the logistics of where that water has been sitting. If you are drinking warm water from the faucet, you are drinking water that has been sitting in your plumbing. You could have a substantial amount of lead in that water IF you have a lead service. Filtered water is not always necessary, the water delivered by your local municipal government is one of the most regulated and closely monitored items. Ozone water is not just filtered water, it is beyond filtered water, it also has disinfectant properties. Only a high powered ozone water system is able to provide this level of health water.
SUMMARY
Many people today are hurting. Millions of people are fighting viruses and other bacteria. Ozonated water is beyond any filtered water. Ozonated water is health water. But ozonated water has no known medical studies to substantiate “cures”. Let the truth be heard. Understand and use this great technology. But don’t expect miracles. Consult your physician first and foremost.

Mary,
You are exactly correct. The learning curve is really needed. I am hopeful that the internet will assist. For many years, the bottled water companies ruled, luckily now, people now understand what is regulated and what is not. Unfortunately, some of the dangers of water are not offensive smells.
Ozonated water does not cure cancer. It kills pathogens which then strengthen your immune system, thus helping your immune system fight cancer.
I have a number of issues with the information presented here and some of the comments. Ozone is a disinfectant and has a reduction potential of almost 100x that of chlorine. However stating that, "R.O. will not eliminate E. coli, salmonella and other bacteria, viruses and mold" is incorrect. RO membranes are
Jim Stiner,
Excellent clarification - strengthening our immune system helps us in many ways - physical endurance and fighting disease. Thank you so much for adding to the disussion.
I find it interesting that a person with 20 years experience in the Food and Beverage Industry, with majors in Food Science and Bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin posts the fallacies in this page gets edited out. Guess I will send my factual data to the BBB and have them investigate. My friend Robert David, Director in the FDA would find this page interesting also.
Mark Smith,
I am sorry I some of your message is cut off. If you look at the interior of piping, only a point use system that that sanitizes can effectively handle corrosion and biofilm. The membrane technology is excellent, however, there is new technology that works with the carbon filters that may be a better and more economical and safer uses. This age old technology of ozone is not pollution as the chemical companies would like you to believe, it is natural method to fight bacteria - it will not cure - it will fight the bacteria and help your immune system as one of the respondents highlight.
What the industry is not telling people is the piping for their water contains contaminants we cannot address without sanitizing at the point of use.

For clarification, I don't have a major in food science I have a science degree in business. I do have a voice that the truth needs to be heard and discussed and I welcome further exploration - especially by the FDA.
I invite closer review of this technology. The discussion is critically important to human lives.
I thank you for posting your opinion and wish for you to return along with your friend Robert David. I also invite Mr. David to review the ammonia in beef article that I wrote:
http://hubpages.com/hub/Ammonia-in-United-States-B
Yes, I make people mad - I tell the full truth. The FDA could do a better job with food labeling. The chemical companies could be friendlier to natural disinfectants. The water filtration companies could tell you about your piping - since they don't and I do.
Please continue your post with fallacies fully disclosed so that I might take a closer look at any possible misunderstanding or statements made.

I agree with all of your conclusions. I am selling products that use ozonation and UV to kill bacteria. What I find is, most people do not know much about water in general, have no idea what they are trying to protect themselves against. Instead most buying is motivated by offensive smells, or other obvious conditions or they manhandled by sales people who are only trying to sell rather than address the specific needs of customers, leaving them as exposed as they were originally.
