Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Dear , Nitric oxide produced inside the body and closely controlled for the purposes required, such as opening and closing valves is beneficial. That does not mean it is beneficial when ingested from an outside source. It will damage lung tissue in fairly short order. I would not take the example of what body builders do, because many do extreme things that will prove damaging in time. A corona discharge generator supplied with oxygen will not produce nitric oxide, since there is no nitrogen to make it from. Best of Health! Dr. Saul Pressman Nitrous oxide's health benefits? One of the primary factors that qualifies an ozone generator as " medical grade " is the lack of NOX (nitric oxide) in the output stream. This is usually accomplished by using pure oxygen and a cold process. I've been aware for some time of certain health benefits of nitric oxide. It performs many vital functions in human beings ranging from a neurotransmitter, to cardiovascular and sexual health. Many bodybuilders regularly use NOX boosting supplements and apparently it is quite safe. A brief outline of nox's physiological functions can be found here: http://www.absw.org.uk/Briefings/Nitric%20oxide.htm My question is, knowing that the non-medical grade ozone generators produce a very small amount of NOX, could this actually be beneficial for certain applications such as drinking water or sauna? Another question. In addition to a cold plasma medical generator, I have a regular corona discharge generator that has an inlet port for pure oxygen. If I use pure oxygen with this type will it produce pure ozone without NOX compounds? best -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
