Some of you have asked me why I brought an ozone generator to our last
meeting, and how it might help to disinfect COVID-19. Here is a Q&A on this
from:
https://uthsc.edu/coronavirus/responses.php#d11e461
(University of Tennessee Health Science Center)
Key excerpt:
"Question: Why are we not using O3/Ozone treatment with this virus when we
can lysis the cell wall and effectively disrupt the virus and boost the
immune system...especially if we are having to extend time to make an
effective vaccine?
Answer: Superoxides, cold plasma, ozone treatment, ultraviolet light, and
other germicidal modalities have been tested against many viruses and do
exhibit killing activity against many of them. Some of these are utilized
in niche industries, such as in treatment of wastewater. They have not come
into common use in healthcare or household settings mainly because of
commercial reasons – there is little perceived need for new treatments,
standard disinfectants work fine at low cost, there are cost barriers to
market entry, and most of these treatments are not patentable. Ozone
therapy in humans has been tested but is not at a stage where it could
become an FDA approved therapy any time in the near future."
Feel free to forward.
