Absolutely! We are happy to share the schematics: Build Your own Water Ozonator.

Keep in mind; the original specs suggest purchasing the parts from a fish and aquarium supply store, which will likely make it more expensive to build your own unit than purchasing a ready-made water ozonator. Bob's water ozonator inspired quite a market; you'll find many ambient-air models available at a variety of price points. Calculate the cost of parts and your time and then compare with ready-made units (along with warranty, customer service, etc.).

It is best to start slowly with a ½ glass to start to see if you have any reactions. Then gradually build up to 2, 3 or more glasses per day. Something to remember - it is best to drink ozonated water on an empty stomach because the ozone may interfere with digestion.

For usage guidelines, please see the Guide to Using the Beck Protocol. You'll find suggestions for initial use and ongoing use, tips for serious illness, and more.

Maybe. You can drink as much ozonated water each day as you want - just remember to drink it on an empty stomach, away from food. For usage guidelines, please see the Guide to Using the Beck Protocol. You'll find suggestions for initial use and ongoing use, tips for serious illness, and more.

No. You can ozonate any drinking water. However, if you do ozonate distilled water, you will have a higher level of ozone in the water as distilled water has very little impurities allowing the water to retain more of the ozone. Chilled water also retains more ozone, however chilled water may not be the best solution for the stomach as some cultures believe it takes energy away from the stomach as the water uses energy to become body temperature. [Editor's note: Distilled Water is the recommendation for ionic colloidal silver.]

There is sterilizing water and purifying water. Sterilizing and purifying water may sound like they are one and the same, but they are actually two different processes.

Water sterilization means bacteria and other organic pathogens or microbes are killed. Sterilizing water is one of the steps involved in water purification.

Purifying water includes additional steps beyond simply sterilizing the water. In order to purify water, filters are required to remove chemicals, minerals, heavy metals, and other particulate matter. A filtration system is required to purify water.

Water ozonation can be used to sterilize water. The time required to sterilize water depends on both the volume of water and the degree of contamination.

Yes - ozonated water is absolutely safe to drink. In fact, it's not just safe - it's remarkably refreshing and beneficial.

Ozone is simply a richer form of oxygen and has long been recognized for its purifying and oxidizing properties. Ozonated water is merely water that has been infused with extra oxygen (O₃). When ozone is bubbled into water, it transforms into a refreshing, revitalizing form of hydration.

Ozonated water supports detoxification, enhances oxygen delivery to every cell, and provides an energizing lift to your daily hydration routine.

While breathing high levels of ozone gas isn't recommended, drinking water infused with ozone is completely safe.

Think of ozonated water as nature's power-up: clean, invigorating water enhanced with extra oxygen. Drink it freely and enjoy this health-supporting way to stay hydrated every day.

Let's re-think oxidative stress.

Both medical and natural communities advocate antioxidants and say oxidative stress is a key cause in disease. We’ve been told antioxidants are a key to fantastic health. Have we ever seen "proof" of this theory? Or are we simply regurgitating mainstream headlines and blindly accepting a theory as fact? The theory would have us believe that we are all antioxidant deficient. What happens if some of us are oxidant deficient? Would we need more oxidants, not less? Would taking a lot of antioxidants be counter-productive in this situation?

We had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Al-Tubaikh, a medical doctor in Kuwait. He presented an entirely different approach to the oxidant vs antioxidant debate and it got us examining our understanding around antioxidants.

It's all about how the liver detoxifies harmful substances.

There are two phases that the liver uses to detoxify:

Phase 1: Oxidation – In phase one, liver enzymes use oxygen and other oxidants to break down toxic substances and/or kill microbes to protect the body, making them less harmful and easier for the body to remove. Think of this phase as a 'heating up' to burn up the toxic substances. Once the harmful substances have been through phase one they need to be 'cooled down' to prepare for the elimination process.

Phase 2: Conjugation – In phase two, the liver uses substances that are 'anti-oxidant' to 'cool down' the phase one process so the toxins or microbes can be excreted out of the body.

Here's the clincher: If the liver's first detox phase (oxidation) isn't working well, the liver will not be able to burn up all the toxic substances before pushing them into phase two. In order to help the liver we need more oxygen, more oxidative substances. Taking antioxidants would be counter-productive as they would add to oxygen deficiency. For this situation using ozone therapies, iodine and maintaining good oxygen levels, to name a few, can help the liver function better in detoxifying toxins.

Currently, we have not seen anyone talk about a deficient oxidative system – instead it is assumed that everyone is deficient in Phase 2 and so needs more anti-oxidants to help cool the oxidative system.

Furthermore, Dr. Al-Tubaikh suggests additional oxygen is needed when dealing with chronic illness:

"...nowadays, the entire medical literature is about "Oxidative stress", which is excess oxygen production in response to stress ... Unfortunately, such a condition is only applicable to "Acute" diseases. In contrast, a "Chronic disease" is associated with "Oxidative deficiency", the opposite of oxidative stress; such a small but a profound concept is the reason behind why oxygen therapies are the missing link in chronic diseases, not the other way around, using antioxidant (Anti-Oxygen) supplements in chronic diseases!".
