Normal cells are resistant to this effect, presumably because they are more stable electrically and have better antioxidant protective function. High concentration ozone disinfects and is used in industrial cleansing activities such as clean up of chemical waste accidents, pool and spa filtering, fish tank and production facility purification and oxidation and one source mentioned cleanup of small lakes and ponds. Ozone is also used in concentration to heal wounds and infections. There are a number of extremely positive reports of wound healing. The bagging method of isolating the wound is used to avoid respiration of high concentrations.
Exposure time varies and results are excellent.
Usage of ozone to cleanse the blood to prevent or slow the progress of cancer and AIDS has mixed results. Lower dosages have been recorded as more helpful. Ozone is an unstable molecule and acts as a free radical along with producing free radicals in the blood via lipid peroxidation. Thus its ability to destroy pathogenic unstable molecules in low concentrations and harming healthy cells in higher concentrations. Antioxidant use should be prescribed in conjunction with ozone exposure if persons attempt these blood saturation methods.
