[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 657464, member: 55568"] I know what ozone is and I know how it is produced electrochemically in a laboratory. Any chemistry undergraduate can show how it is used to disinfect water. What I wanted to know is how you introduced the generated ozone into your footspa as it only has a halflife of a few seconds in water. Most treatments involve ozonated autohemotherapy, where blood is drawn from the patient, ozone is added and then the ozonated sample is reinjected. This is what the clinics in Germany do, the type that you referred to. What you are advocating here though is a type of ozonated hydrotherapy, where ozone is added to water in a footspa and the patient simply puts his or her feet in a bubble bath. Very nice I'm sure, but the ozone would be depleted within seconds and most of it used in killing any bacteria in the footspa water rather than disinfecting or neutralising bacteria on the open wound or sore. So, what exactly was the process your wife experienced since you claim to do this at home cheaply with a foot spa? Would I for example get the same effect with a footspa and a tube of Alka Seltzer?
