Ozonized Water
Drinking water is kind of important and theres no shortage of advice on what type of water to drink. Tap water, well water, filtered, distilled, reverse osmosis the list go on. You’ve probably heard of drinking hydrogen water, structured water or maybe you haven’t. Well, lets dive into water as whole and go from there.
H2O, two hydrogen atoms one oxygen, we can’t live without it, we’re comprised mostly of it and yet it may not be high on the list of beverages you prefer. What happens to water before it comes out of your tap. Its pumped from an underground aquifer in most cases, sent through a processing plant where its mildly filter for sediment, ozonized (sometimes), chlorinated then sent to a holding tank where it magically come out of the tap anytime you turn on the faucet. In first world countries we take it for granted, in third world countries people fight over clean sources of it.
The processing from municipal water sources does protect against water born microbes that could cause severe intestinal infection. We need those protections but tap water is not “clean” its just processed. There are water companies that offer purified water which can range from reverse osmosis, deionization and charcoal filtration to even more purification methods like UV exposure, distillation and ozone purification. These are cleaner by far because so many methods offer better quality to some degree, but at what cost. Usually the water is “dead” meaning it has no minerals, minerals that are vital to your health. You can easily add trace minerals back into the water so I believe its better to have all filtration methods done first.
Chemicals like Hexavalent Chromium (think Erin Brokovich) are far to high in just about every municipal energy water source. However, I bet you didn’t know that over 30 prescription medications are also found in most tap water. That’s because so many people are on medications that aren’t fully absorbed by their body that a majority come out in their urine or feces and right back into ground water. Typical water processing doesn’t remove these drugs and its surprising to know that blood pressure medication, psychiatric drugs and replacement hormones like birth control have all been found in tap water. You may be thinking I don’t drink tap water or I have a deep well so I’m not getting those meds. Well think again, every time you order a coffee, soda or iced tea at your favorite restaurant or coffee joint your getting a significant dose. Those places don’t filter their water and if they do it’s no better than minor filtration so all those contaminates are still in every sip.
So drink filtered water, use it cook your pasta, boil your eggs, make your ice with it and don’t
ever drink unfiltered water. In my area there is a place called Water To Go, which uses 11
different filtration methods, we’ve used their water for everything but bathing for 20 years. We
add Concentrace to the water, it’s a product thats available in just about every health food
store which contains 72 trace minerals. This brings the water back to life and prevents it from
stripping vital minerals from the body. Thats right, if you drink distilled water which has no
minerals, it leaches them right from you!
Ok now that water basics are covered, lets discuss the main topic of ozone water. Water thats clean can be charged with ozone, just like our Ozone Charged products. The problem is that water is not a great stabilizer of ozone, after just 4 hours at room temperature the ozone is all but dissipated out of the water. If refrigerated the ozone can last up to 12 hours which is better but I tell everyone that when it comes to ozone water, make it and drink it right away. Making ozone water is easy, depending on the elevation of where you live it only takes between 2-5 minutes of ozonation to saturate the water. The higher your elevation the less atmospheric pressure, the shorter the ozonation period. Yes, this means that at lower elevations such as sea level, ozone water potency is higher but you have to bubble the ozone a little longer.
What does ozone do to the water? As I mentioned in the second paragraph ozone is used as a method of filtration because it destroys a lot of chemicals and microbes in unfiltered water. Ozone in filtered water super charges it so carry oxygen into your body. People drink ozone water to help with sore throats, colds, flus, ulcers, parasite infections, intestinal infections, general health, athletic enhancement and brain oxygenation.
I wouldn’t drink ozone water all day long and if you’re just starting out you probably only want to drink a few ounces to see how you feel. Some people need to start gradually and go up from there because it can cause a detox reaction. Patients would start drinking it and most would do pretty well but those with multiple chemical sensitivity, Lyme Disease, certain autoimmune disorders or heavy toxicity wouldn’t feel good if they had more than a few ounces. After a few days they could increase the amount and would tolerate it better. It’s all base don your body and how healthy you are.
The machines needed to make ozone water aren’t expensive they can be found on Amazon for a couple hundred dollars. They use Ultraviolet Light (UVB or UVC) to make the ozone from room air unlike medical grade machine which require a pure oxygen source, usually bottled medical oxygen. Ozone water machines can last for years and when used regularly are extremely helpful around the house. You can use ozone water for cleaning, watering plants, laundry and bathing.
I would encourage anyone to try ozonized water, its cheap, easy to make, it’s good for your health and helps laundry come out cleaner. Just make sure not to breathe in the ozone from the machine, even though it’s not medical grade potency, its not good for your lungs.
