[00:00:00] Latest and greatest in Tobias Segal’s world regarding Health and Wellness

Ryan Sternagel: Tobias, the traditional first question for you: You’re not allowed to talk about ozone, ozone water, or oral health in particular. Have you added any new things to your health and wellness routine that you’re excited about these days?

Tobias Segal: I’ve added more ozone water. I know you mentioned that, but it’s more for oral health. I’ve also started doing some methylene blue, checking that stuff out. I’m getting back into my running routine and finally tend to enjoy running outside. It gets a little chilly in the spring and winter, but when summer rolls around, it gets you that good sweat going. For me, it’s the outdoor exercise that makes me feel a lot better. I’m also trying some new supplements, like methylene blue, and a few others to see how they work. I’m always looking for something new.

Ryan Sternagel: Tobias, I too am messing around with methylene blue. My son loves it because every morning he triumphantly says he’s blue, and that’s the highlight of his day. That’s fun. I started trying it, and you do feel the difference with that stuff. It is interesting.

Tobias Segal: I’ve tried it with some natural nitric oxide pills as well. You can feel it. I think it helps with endurance, honestly, when running. I have a guy I work with who went overseas to a pretty high elevation, and he said it helped with altitude sickness. There’s something to it.

Ryan Sternagel: I too am looking forward to getting back to my running. There have been a few never-ending projects this summer that have taken priority over running, but I think we’re about to cross the finish line on those.

Tobias, we’re here to talk about ozone today, particularly ozone and oral health, which I’m excited about. Can I get a show of hands or a yes or no? Has anyone been on our previous ozone calls? Today, we’re talking about ozone and oral health. Usually, we talk about ozone therapy at home as it relates to whole-body benefits, like doing rectal insufflations, ear insufflations, nose insufflations, and breathing the bubbled olive oil gas. Overall, ozone is one of the top three things everyone should have at home for overall healing purposes.

I see a few people saying “yes.” For anyone who hasn’t been on these calls, we will at least touch on it a little bit, Tobias. But if you haven’t, you can write in and ask for our past replays of those other presentations because this session will be a little more dialed into the oral health component in particular.

We’re working on making all of our past webinars accessible to everyone. It’s a project that hasn’t quite materialized yet, but in the meantime, you can still write in and ask for a replay. Today is a little different as we’ll still talk about the whole-body benefits, but we’re going to focus more on oral health.

Housekeeping: Please don’t take anything you hear as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Neither Tobias nor I are doctors, nor do I think either of us have any interest in being doctors. I consider myself more of a doctor talent scout, but I would not want to try to be one of those guys.

Yes, there will be a replay of this as well. The link you used to sign up for this will become your replay link after a little bit of processing time once we’re done. Whatever email or link you clicked on to sign up will also become your replay link, and we’ll send emails with the replay as well.

Yes, there will be a Q&A at the end after Tobias’s presentation, which he has so kindly prepared for us. Don’t feel like you have to wait to type your questions—go ahead and type them as you’re thinking of them, but also don’t feel like we’re ignoring you if they don’t get answered right away, that’s what the Q&A is for.

Tobias Segal: Perfect. Let me go pull that up and start the presentation. Give me one second.

Ryan Sternagel: Tobias is also the only person to have ever done a live in-studio Stern webinar here. Did anyone catch that one?

Tobias Segal: That is true. That was fun. I enjoyed it.

Ryan Sternagel: That was a lot of fun. Maybe someday I’ll be like those fancy podcasters who fly people out for interviews. Maybe that’ll be me someday.

Tobias Segal: You’re getting there. I think you’re almost there, or you will be very soon.

Ryan Sternagel: For that one, we did your road trip, which was nice. You were already in the area, training some dentists out here, weren’t you?

Tobias Segal: We were in Bountiful, Utah, at a biological dental office, basically taking a course. It was great. It was an ozone dental course. Bountiful is 30 minutes from your place, so why not? It was the perfect opportunity to meet up with you.

Ryan Sternagel: All right, Tobias, let’s do it.

[00:06:58] Introduction to Ozone Water and Personal Impact on Health

Tobias Segal: We’re going to talk about the amazing benefits of ozone water. A little bit about myself: My parents started the company back in 2001. They introduced me pretty early on to the benefits of ozone, so I had a good understanding of it. I am now one of the owners of Promolife. One of the things I love to do with the company is work on new product development; That’s honestly my passion. It gives me the opportunity to explore new ideas and come out with new products. That’s ultimately what I love doing with this company.

Ozone has positively impacted my family in multiple ways. As I may have discussed on this podcast previously, it’s benefited my wife. I’ve seen it help her mom, and I’ve seen it help my parents. We’re talking about very quick changes, changes you don’t typically see with alternative medicine. It’s made a pretty big impact on my life.

[00:08:00] The Critical Connection Between Oral Health, pH Levels, and Whole-Body Wellness

Tobias Segal: I want to go over some facts about oral health that people may not realize. The pH in your mouth plays a huge role in your oral health. If we have too much acidity in our mouth, it can cause more cavities to be produced. It can also cause an abundance of bad bacteria. Your mouth has a microbiome, and that’s something we have to maintain and ensure it stays positive. Just like our gut, our mouth is susceptible to a lot of other factors as well. Your tongue and tonsils are loaded with bacteria, and if that bacteria is the bad stuff, it can lead to poor oral health.

I thought this was a crazy statistic when I saw it: up to 85% of adults living in the United States have some form of gum disease. Now, the younger you are, the less likely it is, but the older you are, the more likely. Eighty-five percent is astronomical. That tells us there’s a chronic condition happening, and people need to address this.

One of the big things I love talking about is that each tooth is directly connected to organs in the body. If we discuss the tooth meridian chart, you can visually see how a tooth is connected to specific organs.

[Showing a chart] I’m going to go to that page and show you right now. This is an example of a tooth meridian chart. You can see how, like, number 19 on the bottom is connected to the lungs and the large intestine. I had a weird issue a few years back where I was having some odd chest pains, and as soon as I got the cavity cleared up in my mouth, it stopped, the very next day.

I had always heard about the tooth meridian chart and believed in it, but that experience gave me so much more reassurance that this is a legitimate thing people need to understand and address. If you have a chronic infection, it can negatively affect other parts of your body, and people don’t realize that. Tooth meridian charts follow it, and it does make a lot of sense.

Ryan Sternagel: This is a good place for me to interrupt. I’ve been interviewing biological dentists and holistic cancer doctors for so long now, and it’s the one thing that pretty much every holistic cancer doctor brings up, bar none. No matter what else they may agree on, it’s hard to get doctors to agree on anything with each other, but they all agree that everyone concerned with cancer, for whatever reason, whether you already have it and want to be rid of it, or if you don’t have it and want to keep it that way—they all agree: Go see a biological dentist and get your cavitations cleaned out, get root canals cleaned out. But then also, when you talk to the biological dentists, you see why for the reasons you mentioned because the meridians are tied to all these different organs, and you get pathogenic bacteria growing in the cavitations, root canals, and so on. Maybe I’m stealing the thunder from the rest of your presentation. You also hear a lot about root canals, cavitations, and filling, but the biological dentist makes almost just a big of a deal out regular gum disease because at the end of the day, that’s an infection in your mouth that is unresolved.

Tobias Segal: A massive number of Americans have chronic gum disease right now—up to 85%. I wasn’t aware it was that widespread. I recommend everyone take a look at a tooth meridian chart online. If you’re experiencing gut issues or specific problems with an organ, check your teeth to see if it’s connected. There might be a possibility that it is, and visiting a biological dentist could help address that.

[00:12:08] The Power of Ozone in Oral Health: A Safer Alternative to Fluoride and Home-Based Treatments

Tobias Segal: I want to talk about what makes ozone so effective when using it orally. Ozone can harden enamel and is considered a much safer alternative to fluoride (I’m not a fan of fluoride). It’s highly toxic and can negatively affect the pineal gland in your body, cause brittle bone disease, and lower IQ, and there are probably a hundred other things it can negatively impact.

Ozone does not affect or change the pH of the water, which is important because if we’re too acidic, that can allow additional bacteria growth. Ozone attacks anaerobic bacteria first—it goes after the bacteria that don’t do well in oxygen-rich environments. Ozone also helps reduce oral inflammation. For example, gum disease is essentially inflammation, and ozone can kill some of that bacteria and reduce the inflammation.

One of the cool things about ozone is that it changes the acidic environment under the gum line to a more neutral one. This allows good bacteria to repopulate and helps your teeth and gums start healing. Additionally, ozone increases circulation. So, ozone goes after the bad bacteria, but it also stimulates your body to heal. Hopefully, with ozone, you can address some of the issues going on in the body.

Ozone can penetrate and kill biofilm and get rid of plaque that way. Biofilm is the protective layer that bacteria use to shield themselves. Ozone has the ability to eat through that biofilm. Ozone also eradicates cold sores—if you’re having a cold sore outbreak, ozone is effective at dealing with the viruses that cause them. Ozone reduces or even stops root sensitivity. Many biological dentists use ozone gas, especially if you’re hypersensitive to cold liquids, which can create a lot of pain in the mouth. Ozone can do a good job at reducing that sensitivity, allowing you to tolerate colder beverages.

Ozone hardens previously soft areas of decay and can permeate the tooth tubules to kill the bacteria that cause tooth decay. This is why biological dentistry uses ozone—it does all of this. But the great thing is that we can do a lot of this at home. There are tools we can use to bring ozone into the home and get close to the same benefits that a biological dentist can offer.

Ryan Sternagel: That’s what I love about it. We’ve talked so much about the whole-body, systemic benefits of ozone. That’s what we’re all about—bringing the clinical treatments and getting the best at-home analog to that as you can. We’ve discussed at length how you can do that with your ozone generator and so on. Same thing—you can do a lot of biological dentistry without the biological dentist, which is cool.

Tobias Segal: You absolutely can. It’s not that hard, and I hope people will give it a try because you’ll notice the benefits pretty quickly.

[00:16:10] The Hidden Dangers of Conventional Mouthwash and Its Impact on Oral and Overall Health

Tobias Segal: One thing I wasn’t aware of, and I’m sure you’ve talked about this at length on your podcast—is the problem with the mouthwash most people use nowadays. If you look at alcohol-based mouthwashes, hopefully, nobody is using those anymore, but they can dry out your mouth. This can lead to more tooth sensitivity, bad breath, or even cavities because it creates an optimal environment for bacteria growth. Using alcohol-based mouthwashes is a big no because it can potentially lead to more oral health issues.

Most mouthwashes on the market right now are highly acidic, with pH levels ranging anywhere from 3 to 6. Enamel demineralizes at 5.5 on the pH scale, and dentin erodes at 6.5. We’re using mouthwashes that dentists recommend, but they’re actually negatively affecting our enamel and dentin. Most mouthwashes kill both the good and bad bacteria in your mouth, which can offset your natural balance and reduce immunity.

Mouthwash may even impact blood pressure by reducing nitric oxide-producing bacteria in your mouth. There have been a lot of studies recently saying not to use mouthwash before bed because it kills the good bacteria that promote nitric oxide, which is important for healthy blood pressure and heart health. People are starting to back off on using mouthwash and are considering the best types to use. It’s a slow process, but hopefully, more and more people are realizing there’s a right way to use mouthwash.

Ryan Sternagel: For commercial mouthwash… The alcohol is bad for nuking your oral microbiome, even the good guys. But then, like anything conventional, it usually has all sorts of other nasty chemicals you don’t want.

Tobias Segal: Exactly. There are dyes and a lot of other stuff like that.

[00:18:34] Ozone Water: A Powerful Alternative for Oral Care and Beyond

Tobias Segal: How can ozone water be used to benefit your oral health? One of the easiest ways is to use ozone water as a substitute for mouthwash. If you have a good concentration of ozone water, what I do is pour it into a Waterpik. I’m not a huge fan of floss because a lot of floss is coated with forever chemicals, which can get into your body. I find that Waterpiks do just as good of a job, if not better. I pour ozone water into my Waterpik, and I can massage my gums and get it between my teeth. That ozone water is going to eliminate some of the bacteria that could be causing issues.

One of the big issues with Waterpiks is that they’re wet on the inside, and they could potentially harbor growth, like mold. If you add ozone water to your Waterpik, you’re essentially eliminating the chance for mold to be produced inside it. Waterpiks will hold up for quite a while with ozone water. It may not last as long as a Waterpik that uses standard water, but with the cost of Waterpiks nowadays—I think I paid like $35 for mine—it could last for a year or two, and that works for me.

I consider ozone water to be one of the best mouthwashes available. It’s not going to negatively affect your pH. You can also gargle with ozone water, and it’ll reach your tongue and tonsils. As we discussed earlier, your tongue and tonsils are harbors for a lot of bacteria, and often, it’s the bad stuff that can make you sick. Unlike other mouthwashes, ozone water is 100% safe to drink, and it’s also going to reach your throat and potentially kill bacteria or viruses that are causing a sore throat. That’s one of the ways I use it with my kids—I make them drink ozone water, and it’s a great way to help alleviate some of the symptoms that could be causing a sore throat.

In addition, ozone water can be used to rinse cuts, scrapes, or even clean surfaces. About a month ago, I stepped on a nail, and it hit the bone in my foot. Within about five to ten minutes, I went home, got some ozone gas and ozone water, and flushed the wound as best as I could. Nothing happened after that like infections. What I did was get to it right away before it closed up. The ozone gas was cool because it stopped the bleeding quickly and sterilized the wound. I feel like it made it heel substantially faster.

Ryan Sternagel: Nature’s tetanus.

Tobias Segal: Neat, seriously. People were trying to get me to get a tetanus shot, but when you have ozone, why would you?

[00:21:34] Understanding How Ozone Water Works: A Natural Defense Against Bacteria and Viruses

Tobias Segal: We know ozone is great, we know it’s an awesome mouthwash, but how does it work? I’ll explain it as simply as possible. Ozone is negatively charged, and most of the bacteria and viruses causing issues are positively charged. The negatively charged ozone particle seeks out and is attracted to the positively charged pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria. As soon as it comes in contact, it destroys the bacteria by breaking down the cell wall. For viruses, it almost instantly deactivates them.

The great thing about ozone, compared to a lot of other treatments, is that you’re not going to develop any resistance to it because it destroys the cell wall. Bacteria can evolve to do all sorts of things, but they will never be immune to ozone, which is awesome. That’s what I love about it. You always hear about antibiotic resistance, but that’s never going to happen with ozone.

When we make ozone water, we can generate different concentrations. We measure it in parts per million (ppm), which refers to the amount of dissolved ozone particles in the water. Low strength would be 0.5 to 1 ppm, medium strength would be 1 to 3 ppm, and high strength would be over 3 ppm. The reason we talk about strength is that different bacteria have different reactions to ozone water concentrations.

[Displays a chart] Here is an example of specific types of bacteria that are affected by ozone water. As you can see on the chart, most bacteria are eradicated at low ozone concentrations, but some require higher doses—anywhere from 2 to 3 ppm to be eradicated. There’s one outlier, Cryptosporidium, which is pretty hard to kill. But the majority of bacteria causing negative issues in our bodies will be eradicated at or under 3 ppm of ozone water.

[00:24:00] Debunking Myths About Ozone: Safety, Effectiveness, and Its Superior Benefits for Oral Health

Tobias Segal: One of the big questions I get asked about ozone is its safety and effectiveness. People hear that ozone can cause irritation, that it’s a pollutant, that it’s bad. These are all myths; this is not true. When we look at ozone water, it will not cause any skin or eye irritation. If you put ozone water in your eye or on your skin, it’s not going to do anything negative. In fact, I’ve taken ozone water, ozonated saline, and used it as an eye rinse. I had a stye not too long ago, and it knocked it out within a day.

Ozone does not leave any chemical residue like other sterilizers. For example, if you let other mouthwashes dry on a counter, you’ll see residue afterward. But ozone dissolves and reverts back to water after about 20 minutes—nothing else remains.

One thing I like to emphasize about safety is that every single bottle of water you drink has been purified with ozone. There’s no other way to do it. If they want that bottled water to taste good, they have to use ozone.

I consider ozone water completely harmless to consume. I view it as even safer than non-ozonated water because it contains no bad bacteria that can cause issues.

Ozone is 10 times more effective than chlorine, 25 times more effective than hypochlorous acid (which is often used in dentistry), 25,000 times more effective than hypochlorite, and 5,000 times more effective than chloramine. The big takeaway is that ozone works 3,000 times faster than chlorine. You have this ozone water that is much more powerful, works much faster, but is much safer than all these other chemicals. To me, the only downside to ozone water is that it has to be produced on-site. You can’t make it on demand and expect to store it because it has a half-life of about 20 to 30 minutes. This can create some challenges for using it as a mouthwash, which is why we need devices to make ozone water. That said, it’s still one of the most powerful tools out there to help verify and create positive oral health.

[00:26:47] Challenges and Potential of Using Ozone in Municipal Water Systems

Ryan Sternagel: When are we going to have all the city water systems use ozone instead? Because right now, they have to keep adding chlorine and chloramines along the way. It’s not just one application of chlorine; they have little chlorine stations that the water passes through. What if we had ozone stations instead?

Tobias Segal: There are some municipalities that are already doing that, but there’s a downside. Some municipalities use ozone for water sterilization, but they still have to add chlorine because the water sits in the pipes for days or weeks before it’s used. The problem is that ozone diminishes within an hour of being added to the city water line. If you could get that water to the individual within an hour or two, it would be perfectly sterile and clean. However since the water sits in the lines for days, chlorine has to be added to ensure a sterile product at the end. That’s why I recommend everyone have a filter system installed in their house to get that chlorine out of their water. It’s so simple—all you need is a carbon filter.

Also, if you have the ability, talk to your municipality and tell them to remove fluoride from your water if they haven’t already. No evidence shows adding fluoride to water provides any benefit whatsoever. If they can show you a study, they can’t, because it doesn’t exist. Ask them to do that, but I guarantee you there are no studies that show fluoridated water benefits your teeth.

Ryan Sternagel: My theory was based on the idea that the water would be flowing the whole time, not just sitting there.

Tobias Segal: Exactly, they’d have to have stations along the way. Maybe one day, hopefully.

[00:28:43] Exploring the Benefits of Ozonated Oils for Oral Health: A Deeper, Long-Lasting Approach

Tobias Segal: Now that we’ve talked about ozone water, I’d like to dive into another aspect that people can do—ozonated oils. If you’ve had good success with ozone in water, consider utilizing ozone oil that can be topically applied to the gums and teeth. The advantage of ozone oil is that it stays there for a while. Oil is sticky, so when you apply it to your teeth and gums, it’ll stay there for a good hour, if not longer.

A lot of people will take a night guard, apply the ozone oil to it, and pop it on their gums. The ozone oil will rest on the gums and teeth and absorb well, hopefully helping to reduce some of the bad bacteria causing issues. One of the reasons people use oil pulling in addition is that oil is lighter than water and has the ability to push deeper into the pockets. This can help reduce some of the systemic infections that could be causing dental issues. If you haven’t tried ozone oils or even oil pulling, I definitely recommend considering it. It’s easy to do and doesn’t take much time.

[00:29:58] The Versatility and Benefits of Home-Based Ozone Therapy: A Powerful Tool for Systemic Health

Tobias Segal: We’ve talked about this in previous podcasts—ozone at home is a big factor that I think everyone should also consider. You can do a lot of systemic ozone therapy at home, whether it’s rectal insufflation, where you’re basically doing a gas enema that provides systemic benefits for the body to absorb ozone. You can do it vaginally, add ozone to the ears for cognitive health, drink ozone water, or even bubble ozone through oil and then breathe the gas that comes off of that, which is a huge benefit for respiratory health or other issues in the throat or chest. People who are getting into ozone need to consider this as well. It’s almost like having an antibiotic in your medicine cabinet that nothing can get resistant to. You can utilize it in so many different ways—you can push it up your nose to reduce viral load, and if you have a systemic infection, using it rectally is probably one of the best methods.

Ryan, what would you like to add about ozone at home and your experience with it? It’s a huge topic that you guys talk about.

Ryan Sternagel: In general, our world is obviously focused on cancer—cancer management and prevention. It’s hard to get doctors to agree on anything, but when you talk about clinical treatments, ozone therapy comes up time and time again. In a clinical setting, you might see IV-based treatments, where they pull the blood out, ozonate it, and then put it back in, or inject ozone directly into the veins. Don’t try any of this at home. The rectal ozone that Tobias mentioned is the closest analog to that clinical, systemic ozone you can do at home. As long as you’re doing it somewhat regularly, you can get benefits similar to what you’d get in a clinic.

The ear insufflation with ozone—using the ear tubes—is something I like to do for a few minutes every day when I start work and am typing on the computer. It clears me up; you can really feel the difference. We also have Ryder using it because he’s still somewhere on the spectrum. You hear a lot of autism and cognitive doctors talking about reversal with ozone therapy, specifically ear stuff. I’ve been using it for my chronic sinus issues, which has been a long battle for me, but whenever I’m consistent with the ozone therapy, I feel myself turning the tide in that battle. The key is to stay consistent.

Tobias Segal: I look at it from the standpoint that we’re all going to get sick at some point, whether our immune system has been lowered. Ozone has been shown to boost the body’s ability to heal and increase your immune system. It’s something that can sit in your cabinet at home and be used at a moment’s notice. Once you have it, it requires an oxygen source, which is easy to obtain. You can have medical-grade ozone produced at any time at home. From a standpoint of home health, it’s a powerful tool.

I find myself using it predominantly in the winter with my kids because that’s when they get sick, but it’s a good tool to have year-round. I truly enjoy ozone therapy. It’s changed my life and the lives of my family members, which is awesome.

Ryan Sternagel: Absolutely. I was talking about all the different treatment types, but I’ll double down and underline the importance of having it as a natural antibiotic or whatever you want to call it. If something looks funny, throw some ozone on it. It’s a beautiful thing to have around.

Especially with all the talk about what the next scary germ might be—whether it’s monkeypox, bird flu, or something else—ozone was very nice to have around during the first scary germ times. We’ve talked about deactivating spike proteins and other concerns. It’s a very comforting thing to have around for those situations.

Tobias Segal: I totally agree. Ozone is a powerful tool to have at home that can be used pretty much any time.

Simplifying Ozone Therapy at Home: Introducing EZ03 for Convenient Oral Health Care

Tobias Segal: That concludes the presentation. We’re going to dive into questions and answers now. If you’re interested in home ozone, go to promolife.com/stern. It walks you through how to get a home ozone system. There are several steps, like getting your oxygen source—we have a video that teaches you how to do that. We also go over the packages and provide training to make sure you’re fully versed on what to do.

We also have a new product out there. If you’re interested in creating ozone water for dental use, it’s called our EZ03. It’s small, no external oxygen source is required, and it uses a different method to produce ozone. It’s a fast and easy way to make ozone water for oral health. We have more information on promolife.com/stern that goes over how it works.

Ryan Sternagel: To be clear, Tobias, if folks wanted to dip their toe into the water of ozone, they could get the EZ03. Then, for the full-blown setup with all the stuff we rambled about for a few minutes, that would involve getting your own ozone generator and going through those steps.

Tobias Segal: For me, when I first get people into ozone, sometimes having an easier setup is the key. If they have an easy-to-use system, they’re more likely to stick with it. I guarantee you that once they start using ozone, especially the water, they’re going to see the benefits, and it’ll make a lot of sense to add additional ozone tools to the picture later on, or whenever they want.

Ryan Sternagel: I’ve had the full-blown generator for a long time, and the EZ03 is a super awesome addition because if I’m in the bathroom downstairs and I want ozone water… I hadn’t been incorporating a lot of ozone water into my morning or nightly dental care routine because it wasn’t sitting right there in the bathroom. Usually, I’m swishing with it when I’m doing the ear insufflation because you run it through the water and then into the ears. So then, you have ozone water made at that point, and I’ll swish with that. But I’d like to be using it a heck of a lot more. Now I have a way to do that, Tobias, that doesn’t take extra time or planning, which is awesome.

Tobias Segal: That’s the advantage—we’re able to produce upwards of 4 parts per million of ozone water with this device, which is considered to be therapeutic. That’s the concentration that dental offices recommend. That’s what they’re shooting for and they treat people with ozone water. You can pour that water into a Waterpik, and use it as a mouthwash—it’s really about the convenience factor. I have a home ozone system, and I use it fairly regularly, but if I’m having a rushed morning and still need to use my Waterpik, this device has a 3-minute timer. You’ll be generating ozone water within 3 minutes, which speeds up the process and makes things easier. We all have busy days, so you do have to make time for these things.

It’s not going to be a full replacement for a home ozone system; this is strictly for making ozone water to be used for oral health; That’s what I recommend it for. If you have 3 minutes during the day, you can generate ozone water this way and use it for oral health. It really speeds things up.

Ryan Sternagel: For whatever reason, our biological dentist, Dr. Chandler, always talks about using a Waterpik at home, and I’ve never mentally gotten around to getting one. But now, Tobias, you’ve inspired me to finally take the three minutes it takes to order a Waterpik and start using my handy ozone water with it.

Tobias Segal: It really does make your mouth feel so good. What I’ve noticed with ozone water more than anything is that if you’re susceptible to plaque buildup, it can reduce that plaque from building up much longer than traditional mouthwash. It seems to do a much better job at cutting through it. I know a lot of people who have systemic plaque buildup and have to get their teeth cleaned much more frequently than others. Ozone water can be a great option to hopefully reduce that plaque buildup, and it’s super easy to do.

Ryan Sternagel: Do you have a recommended Waterpik, Tobias? When are you going to come out with the PromoLife Waterpik?

Tobias Segal: The recommended Waterpik that I have is one I found online for about $35, and it’s battery-charged. It holds a fair amount of water and is handheld. There are two different types: handheld and stationary. I like the handheld, especially since the stationary ones are around $100, while the handhelds are about $30 to $40. That works great for me. I’ve never tried the stationary ones, but these handhelds are pretty common now—you can find them almost anywhere.

Ryan Sternagel: I think what held me back initially was thinking that the only option was the stationary kind, which seemed like more of a hassle. I didn’t even know the handheld option existed until recently.

Tobias Segal: They work well. I was talking to a friend of mine, and we weren’t even discussing ozone, but he mentioned that he got a Waterpik because his dentist told him to use one. They work well because as the water flows out, it mixes with oxygen, which helps reduce some of the bad bacteria. I thought, if oxygen helps, what if we added ozone? That would amplify the benefits even more. Even dentists who aren’t in the biological scene recommend Waterpiks because the oxygen mix helps with oral health, and adding ozone water takes it to a whole different level.

Ryan Sternagel: Again, everyone, do take advantage of either the EZ03 or the full-blown ozone-at-home package if you don’t already have ozone at home. It’s one of the top things we recommend for everyone to have at home, and I can’t emphasize that enough.

[00:42:36] Maximizing the Benefits of Ozone Therapy: Saunas, Ozone Oils, and Quick Results

Ryan Sternagel: I saw a question about what machine I use. One thing I didn’t address before when you asked how we use ozone at home is that we also love our ozone sauna. If you happen to have a Relax sauna or any portable tent-style sauna with your head sticking out—we love the Relax sauna for various reasons. You can also make your own ozone sauna by pumping the ozone into that tent as long as your head is sticking out. You can’t breathe it in, but it’s good for everything else. If you do want to use a tent sauna or plan on getting one, make sure to get the dual unit or something more powerful.

Tobias Segal: It’s a bit more powerful because heat negatively affects ozone concentration. If you’ve ever been in a Relax sauna, they get pretty hot, which is great, but that heat can counteract a lot of the ozone concentration. If we’re able to pump in more ozone, we can offset the heat destroying most of the ozone. You can always start low and increase the concentration, but I’ve noticed that as you progress with these ozone saunas, you’ll want to have that higher concentration down the road.

Ryan Sternagel: Tobias, I think you flashed a picture of it, but to be clear, you have your own ozone oils and your own special blend of ozone oil pulling oil, right?

Tobias Segal: We do. We work with a lot of biological dentists all around the country—probably close to 500. Many of them use our ozonated oils, especially after surgical procedures. They’ll send the patient home with ozone oil and have them apply it to the specific spot. It helps keep bacteria away and reduces the need for antibiotics down the road. If you’re in that camp where antibiotics can negatively affect you, especially if taken long-term, ozone oils after a dental procedure are a huge plus.

Additionally, you can use ozone oils to hopefully reduce your chances of needing to visit the dentist. If you’re developing a sore spot or some pain, try adding some ozone oil and see if it helps. If it doesn’t, you may need to see the dentist.

Ryan Sternagel: I want to make sure everyone knows: when you go to promolife.com/stern, you’ll find the EZ03 and the three steps to getting started with ozone at home, like the full packages with large generators. Then, you can click on “Products” in the upper left of the menu bar, where you’ll find all the oils and other stuff. Tobias is always coming out with the latest and greatest nifty things. You’ve got a lot of stuff now, Tobias. I love it.

Tobias Segal: We’ve been focusing more on the ozone side because we enjoy it so much; It’s my passion. The big thing with ozone for me is that, while many natural therapies work well, ozone is different in that you see the benefits so quickly. If you’re the type of person who wants to see quick results, you’re going to be happy with ozone. I truly enjoy it for that reason.

[00:47:01] Understanding Ozone Oils: Shelf Stability, Heat Sensitivity, and Shipping Practices

Ryan Sternagel: I have two ozone oil questions for you, Tobias. First: “How long does the O3 stay in the oil? Second: “Is it heat stable during shipping, especially in the summer?”

Tobias Segal: There isn’t any active ozone in the oil. The oil has been processed with ozone gas, turning it into an ozonide. That ozonide is technically shelf-stable. It can be negatively affected by high heat over a long period, which is why we ship it frozen. Once it arrives, it may be warm, depending on the time of year, but if it’s liquid when you receive it, we recommend placing it in the refrigerator. This will essentially reset the product back to normal. While long-term high heat exposure can cause issues, we ship it out quickly and frozen, so we haven’t noticed any negative reactions with the oil due to heat.

[00:48:12] Tongue Scraping and Its Potential Benefits with Ozone Water for Oral Health

Ryan Sternagel: “Do you have any opinion on tongue scraping for oral health, Tobias?” It’s a little off-topic, but there have been several questions about it.

Tobias Segal: That’s a tough one. I know some people use their toothbrush to scrape their tongue. If you have a buildup of bacteria, sure, that could be a good idea. Why not use ozone water? That’s a great option. A lot of bacteria build up on the tongue and tonsils, so we need to be aware of that because it can cause issues. I’m not opposed to tongue-scraping, but I’d probably need to do more research on it, honestly.

Ryan Sternagel: I think there’s also a little metal rod people can get to drag across the tongue, I think it’s an Ayurvedic thing. I always hear about it, and a lot of people swear by it. It’s one of those things I haven’t gotten around to personally. My wife has started doing it recently, and she loves it. But how it compares to a good old ozone swish, I don’t know. I guess they didn’t have ozone generators back in ancient times when they were coming up with all their Ayurvedic stuff, I guess.

Tobias Segal: I should try the tongue scraping with ozone at the same time.

[00:49:40] Understanding the Differences Between Ozone, Alkaline, Ionized, and Hydrogen Waters: A Balanced Approach to Health

Ryan Sternagel: Here’s a question that we could probably spend the next hour talking about, but let’s try to do it in a couple of minutes. It’s a good question to have out there, though: “What are the differences between ozone, alkaline, ionized, and hydrogen waters?”

Tobias Segal: I’ll try to break it down as fast as possible. Ozone is an oxidant, which is the exact opposite of hydrogen water; Hydrogen is your antioxidant. I would say hydrogen water is more about micro-clustering the water. I do believe that alkaline water machines generate hydrogen as part of the process, but hydrogen water itself is not going to be alkaline. That’s one of the differences. The key thing to remember is not to mix your ozone water and hydrogen water because they essentially neutralize each other, like mixing a negative and a positive. Space those apart, that’s what I’d recommend. In a nutshell, they’re very different.

Ryan Sternagel: A water ionizer will make alkaline hydrogen water, but not all ionizers do that. They found that it’s not the alkaline water that’s the health benefit—it’s more about the hydrogen. You can also get ionizers that make hydrogen water without making it alkaline. Drinking alkaline water for a long-term basis—I’ve come to be in the camp that it’s probably not a good idea.

Tobias Segal: I would agree. You’ve got to be careful.

Ryan Sternagel: At the end of the day, hydrogen water is a great thing because it’s an antioxidant, while ozone water is a pro-oxidant. It’s confusing why both of those things are good for you, but they are.

Tobias Segal: I can give a short explanation for that. Our body requires free radicals to fight off infections. While everyone hears that free radicals are bad because they cause aging, our white blood cells produce a very small amount of ozone—that’s how our body naturally fights off infections. We need oxidants to do this. But our body also understands that oxidants can cause aging, so it naturally produces antioxidants to counteract that effect. It’s all about balance. We need a good balance of oxidants and antioxidants. If we have that balance, we’re in good health. We don’t want too high of an antioxidant level, nor do we want too low or too high of an oxidant level.

Ryan Sternagel: That’s a good explanation. “My dentist has been using ozone for years, and it works great.” Nice.

[00:52:55] Systemic Benefits of Ozone Water: Beyond Oral Health to Whole-Body Support

Ryan Sternagel: “Does ozone orally affect the rest of the body i.e does it alkalize it?” It’s certainly not going to alkalize it, but that’s where we’re talking about the whole body, not just the mouth. That’s where the ozone-at-home stuff we talked about comes in, versus just using it in the mouth.

Tobias Segal: If you drink ozone water, it can definitely have some systemic effects on the body. A lot of people drink ozone water if they have SIBO, which is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth—it can help with that and upper GI issues. It does have a host of benefits.

Ryan Sternagel: Swishing is great, but drinking the water also gives you systemic benefits.

Tobias Segal: Definitely. Drinking ozone water can provide a lot of benefits. There are so many things you can do with ozone water in general—swishing, drinking. Many people have SIBO issues or underlying gut issues caused by too much bad bacteria. Whether you change your diet or not, you have to start somewhere, and eliminating that bad bacteria can be tough.

Ryan Sternagel: Reliable ozonated oils are available at promolife.com/stern.

[00:54:27] How to Topically Apply Ozone Gas: Techniques and Tools for Effective Treatment

Ryan Sternagel: “How do you topically apply ozone gas?”

Tobias Segal: Topically applying ozone gas is pretty easy. As it comes out of the generator, we have devices called limb bags or cupping funnels. You can put your arm in a limb bag, and it pumps the gas into the sealed bag. This is the easiest way to address infections, fungal issues, or anything that needs to be treated topically on a limb. We also have cupping funnels that allow you to apply the gas directly to a smaller part of the body. Many people use it on their back, stomach, or even breasts. These devices are designed to topically apply ozone effectively, making it easy to do.

[00:55:20] Learning Ozone Therapy Techniques: Resources and Support for Safe Home Use

Ryan Sternagel: A related question: “How can we do the bubbling through oil? Any books where we can find techniques for this safe procedure?” That information would be on Tobias’ website, where he should have instructional videos for each specific application. As for all the other applications we were talking about, if you haven’t seen one of our past webinars, I highly encourage you to write in and ask for it. We spend the whole time talking about all the different whole-body uses of ozone.

Tobias Segal: You’re right—people have a lot of questions about how to use ozone, and that’s one of the things we do a lot here. We offer individual setup consultations with customers at no charge. You can book time with one of our staff members, and they’ll walk you through how to properly use an oil bubbler to breathe ozone, how to set up and do an insufflation, and more. We make sure you have the confidence to use the equipment correctly after receiving it.

[00:56:35] Ensuring Safe and Effective Ozone Therapy: Avoiding Direct Inhalation and the Importance of Proper Guidance

Ryan Sternagel: Another common question: “Do we need to avoid breathing ozone directly from the machine or in the air in our home?” Yes, you should avoid breathing ozone directly. When you’re using the bubblers that come with the package, they are designed to prevent you from breathing it in.

Tobias Segal: Exactly. As long as you follow the instructions, it’s safe to use. You’re not going to mess it up, but utilize our help if you have any concerns or questions about ozone therapy. We offer setup consultations to give you the confidence that you’re doing it right, and that no harm will ever be done.

Ryan Sternagel: Another thing I want to mention is that you guys make an incredible product line, Tobias, from a quality standpoint, and also by not gouging your prices, I see what your competitors are charging, and in my opinion, you make devices that are just as good, if not better, than those other guys, yet you somehow charge less for them. You also have amazing customer service, and I can’t say enough good things about PromoLife. As you said, I would triple-underline that if you get a whole package, it might seem overwhelming for a second when you’re taking everything apart, and asking yourself different questions, but at the end of the day, you’ve got amazing videos for every little application and setup, and you go above and beyond with customer service, spending time with people to make sure they understand everything. It’s awesome.

Tobias Segal: That is important. It’s crucial to ensure people have the right skills to be successful because if they’re not successful with ozone, they might tell their friends they didn’t like it, which could create a negative image about ozone; That’s the exact opposite of what we want. We want people to feel confident and safe when using ozone and to be successful at the same time.

[00:58:56]  Understanding the Shelf Life of Ozone Water: Maximizing Its Effectiveness

Ryan Sternagel: I’m scrolling through a lot of questions that I think we’ve addressed, but it’s good to mention one more time: “How long does ozone stay active in the water once you’ve made it?

Tobias Segal: Once you’ve made ozone water, it’s going to be active for about 20 to 30 minutes. If you throw some ice in there, it’ll last longer because it’s colder, but on average, ozone has a half-life in water of about 30 minutes. If you make ozone water, don’t store it, try to use it as fresh as possible to get the best results.

[00:59:36] Moderation with Ozone Water: Guidelines for Safe Consumption

Ryan Sternagel: “Can you drink too much ozone water?”

Tobias Segal: I think you can, but if you drink too much, you might feel a little queasy. It’s definitely something to watch out for. You may need it, honestly. I come from the standpoint of listening to your body and how you react to things. For me, I don’t drink more than eight to 16 ounces of ozone water a day. I’ll drink it in the morning and in the evening if I need to, but overall, it’s there to be used as a tool, especially if you’re fighting something off or dealing with something. If you’re not fighting anything off, there’s no need to overdo it, if that makes sense.

[01:00:25] Finding a Good Biological Dentist: Tips, Resources, and the Importance of Second Opinions

Ryan Sternagel: Quite a few questions, slightly off-topic from having your own ozone, but when we’re talking about holistic oral health in general, do you have any words of wisdom on finding a good biological dentist near you?

Tobias Segal: Yes. There are two websites that people can go to: “iabdm.org” or “iaomt.org.” These are two biological dental websites that can direct you to dentists in your area. You should be able to find a biological dentist, especially if you live near a major city. We’re starting to see more and more of these practices pop up, and more dentists are getting into it because a lot of patients are asking for it. What’s cool is that we’re seeing more dentists mention that patients are asking if they offer ozone, which is making them curious about it.

Interestingly, if you want to verify this information, you can go to the Colgate (the toothpaste) website. They have a whole article on the benefits of ozone in dentistry. I was quite shocked to see that they had a positive talking point on it. They listed how it’s used and how it can be beneficial for patients. It’s cool that this is becoming more mainstream and accepted. I always point people in that direction if they’re skeptical about ozone in dentistry. But ask your dentist, call around, and visit those sites. More and more places offering ozone are popping up every month.

Ryan Sternagel: You almost have to learn as much as you can about biological dentistry so you know what to ask, like whether they use special lasers, ozone, and so on. If you go to our YouTube channel, The Stern Method, we haven’t made a video in a while, but one of the last videos we made a couple of years back was when I got my cavitations cleaned out by Dr. Chandler. We filmed the whole procedure—don’t watch it while you’re eating, but it’s highly educational to watch at another time. We also filmed the whole consultation before the procedure, where he laid out pretty much everything he does and what you’d want to look for.

What was the first site you mentioned, Tobias? Was that iabdm.org?

Tobias Segal: Yes, iabdm.org. The other site is iaomt.org. They’re great resources. Honestly, people should be able to find a good biological dentist in their area. If you live in a bigger city, it’s going to be much easier. You may have to travel a bit, but in my opinion, it’s worth it. In my personal experience with dentists, some dental offices might try to sell you things you don’t necessarily need, so I think it’s important to get a second opinion. Don’t believe the first thing you hear from any dentist down the street—they’re in it to generate revenue and pay the bills. Be careful. My wife has had some odd experiences with dentists, so I think getting a second opinion is the most important thing you can do.

Ryan Sternagel: Like you said, the word’s getting out. That means a lot of conventional dentists are realizing they could attract more people if they learn a few things and advertise themselves as holistic or biological dentists. There’s no real title police making sure they know what they’re talking about if they claim to be holistic or biological dentists. That’s why it’s important to learn as much as you can—watch those videos on our YouTube channel, listen to some biological dentist podcasts, and so on. Also, getting second and third opinions is always a good idea.

[01:06:15] Integrating a Waterpik into Your Oral Health Routine: Enhancing, Not Replacing, Brushing

Ryan Sternagel: Someone mentioned that the handheld rechargeable Waterpik is great, easy to use, and requires minimal storage space. I’m excited. Does this replace brushing your teeth, Tobias?

Tobias Segal: No, it doesn’t. What you’ll do is brush your teeth first, and then use the Waterpik. My routine is that I get my Waterpik set up, hit the button to start it, and then brush my teeth. It takes about three minutes to get my teeth nice and clean. As soon as the Waterpik is ready, I use it as my mouthwash, which takes another minute or two. So, within four to five minutes, I’m done with my oral health routine for the morning. It makes it quick and easy.

[01:07:18] EZ03 Warranty and Longevity: Quality Assurance and Support for Your Ozone Water Device

Ryan Sternagel: “What’s the warranty on the EZ03? How long will this device last? I had purchased a hydrogen water device similar to this, and it didn’t last very long before it went out.” I know everyone and their brother is making those hydrogen water bottles now.

Tobias Segal: We assemble the EZ03 here in the United States, so we have the ability to replace batteries and other components if needed, which is great. We offer a one-year warranty. One of the reasons we designed this product the way we did is because, since we assemble it in the USA, we can maintain and fix it much easier if something goes wrong. Many hydrogen systems hitting the market are made in South Korea, China, Taiwan, or Hong Kong, and they’re not easy to fix. I’ve looked into it before—they’re hard to replace the batteries without potentially destroying the system. But with our product, if something goes wrong, you can send it back to us, and we’ll take care of it. As of right now, it’s a one-year warranty.

[01:08:45] Using Ozone for Pets: Benefits and Applications in Veterinary Care

Ryan Sternagel: “Can it (whether it’s ozone water or ozone in general) be used for animals, like dogs?”

Tobias Segal: Absolutely. Ozone with pets is a big deal, in my opinion. You can have your pets drink ozone water, which will help with their oral health. There’s a vet I work with who’s a huge advocate for using ozone with pets. She’s done a lot of public speaking engagements and is probably one of the main vets around the country pushing ozone. She focuses heavily on oral health for pets and also does a lot of fecal transplants with them. It’s an interesting conversation. They also use ozone gas rectally with pets, just like humans do rectal insufflations with gas.

Ryan Sternagel: Biological dentists and holistic veterinarians—another thing people are starting to catch on to.

Tobias Segal: Absolutely.

Ryan Sternagel: It’s cool to see those guys using ozone too.

Tobias Segal: It’s a simple thing. I’ve even heard of vets adding ozone to a pet’s ears, like an ear insufflation, which can help with potential issues that might be causing problems for the pet.

[01:10:24] Utilizing Ozone Water After Root Canal Removal: Enhancing Oral Healing with Ceramic Implants

Ryan Sternagel: “I had two root canal teeth removed two weeks ago with ceramic implants to come. How would ozone water help or be used?” That sounds like prime time for swishing.

Tobias Segal: During the process of removing the root canal, they often use ozone water to clean out the area before placing the ceramic implant. I’m glad to hear you chose the ceramic route because the titanium route can lead to complications down the road. Ceramic is much more biocompatible with the body and will react better. You can still use ozone water with ceramic implants without any issues. Even if you have titanium implants, ozone water won’t negatively affect what’s going on in your mouth. It sounds like you did the right thing by getting rid of those root canals, and I commend you for that.

[01:11:30] Using Ozone to Potentially Avoid Deep Cleanings: A Natural Approach to Oral Health and Anesthesia Concerns

Ryan Sternagel: “Could a person use ozone gas instead of having a deep cleaning? I’m concerned about the anesthetics used since one dentist used Epi, I believe it’s called, and I had an allergic reaction. Are there any non-toxic anesthetics?” I would think this would be a preventive measure, as you only get a deep cleaning if you have gum disease, and they think that’s the only solution. But using ozone could help prevent the need for a deep cleaning, right?

Tobias Segal: That’s the idea. If you need a deep clean, use ozone oils and ozone water. You might see a reversal in the need for that deep clean. Even if you still have to go through with it, there’s likely a dentist out there who can perform the procedure without using the anesthetic you’re concerned about.

Ryan Sternagel: They’re concerned about the potential toxicity of anesthesia, and so on.

Tobias Segal: Definitely try the ozone water and ozone oils first. They might get you to a point where you don’t need anesthesia anymore for that standard cleaning.

[01:12:55] Home Ozone Therapy as an Alternative to EBOO: Consistency is Key to Systemic Healing

Ryan Sternagel: “Is this the next best thing to EBOO therapy?” EBOO is another clinical treatment we’ve talked about. That’s an IV-based treatment that your naturopathic doctor or a cutting-edge holistic wellness clinic might offer. It’s a systemic treatment that goes throughout your body. The closest at-home analog to what you can get there is rectal insufflation, drinking ozone water, or setting up your own ozone sauna. Do they do a good job?

Tobias Segal: Absolutely. EBOO is great—expensive, but great. The beauty of home ozone therapy is that you can do these treatments once or twice a day if you want to. You can do a rectal insufflation every day if you feel like it. With a lot of these IV treatments—not trying to knock them whatsoever—they absolutely have their place and are great, but you can’t be pulling out that much blood and putting it back into your body every single day. Scar tissue can build up in your veins, which can cause issues. You also have to let your body deal with that and heal. Then there’s the cost and the stress of driving to these locations, which are often three, four, or five hours away. Sometimes they’re closer, but doing things in the comfort of your own home allows you to manage your health more effectively and hopefully be more successful in what you’re doing.

Ryan Sternagel: It allows you to do them on a regular basis, which is why we’ve been doing these webinars for the past couple of years. That was such a big moment for us, realizing all the different treatments we could be getting for Ryder after he was diagnosed. Going to a clinic in Mexico or something like that wasn’t even an option for us because he was a kid, and nobody would take him. It took me about a couple of minutes to realize we needed to make our home the closest thing to our own little healing clinic. It’s been the best decision we ever made to keep on living that way. It’s almost a lifestyle—doing as much at home as possible. It takes the stress out of it.

Tobias Segal: It takes the stress out of it because kids don’t like doctor’s offices—they can’t stand it. If you can set up your own wellness system at home, they’re going to respond much better to that option.

Ryan Sternagel: It looks like they clarified the question later on rectal insufflation: “Would this be the next best thing to EBOO therapy?” It’s systemically beneficial. You’re going to get systemic benefits from drinking ozone water and from doing the home ozone sauna as well.

Tobias Segal: But consistency is key. Don’t do one rectal insufflation and think, “I’m good.” You’ve got to be consistent, especially if you’re dealing with a major systemic issue or a pathogen. Consistency in treating yourself is crucial. Healing yourself is a bit of work. If you don’t want to take a pill every day, try ozone. Hopefully, it’ll get you to the point where you’re successful.

Ryan Sternagel: I read a quote somewhere that I don’t remember exactly, but I liked the thought of it. It was something along the lines of, “Knowledge is required to prevent disease, and consistency is required to reverse it.”

Tobias Segal: I think that sums it up beautifully; That’s 100% accurate. You can have all the knowledge, but you have to actually do it. I don’t want to talk bad about practitioners I’ve seen over the years, but sometimes they have all the knowledge and teach everything, but they’re not the ones practicing it. I’ve seen it time and time again. But at the end of the day, their job is healing and helping others—maybe they don’t have time to heal themselves.

Ryan Sternagel: I get it. Sometimes I’m like, “I’m too busy talking about all this health stuff all the time to be healthy myself.” I make sure that Ryder, the kids, and my wife are all taken care of.

Tobias Segal: That’s pretty natural—we all do that.

[01:18:26] Starting Ozone Therapy at Home: The Importance of Low and Slow with Supportive Guidance

Ryan Sternagel: Someone said, “The consultation I had when I bought the ozone machine was great. The person was very helpful and didn’t act patronizing, even when I had very simple questions.”

Tobias Segal: That’s good to hear. Someone mentioned protocols—we do offer guidance on how to perform certain procedures, like rectal insufflations, and what settings to use. We won’t tell you how to treat a specific condition since the people who do the training aren’t doctors, and that would be practicing medicine. However, they will point you in the right direction. There are some pretty basic protocols for ozone. When you’re first starting out, it’s all about going low and slow. See how your body reacts—start with a low concentration and a small amount. Listen to your body, and if you have a positive response, which most people do, you can start increasing the concentration gradually. It’s honestly that simple when it comes to ozone therapy at home.

Ryan Sternagel: As with most things, start low and slow, build your way up, and listen to your body.

[01:19:56] Finding and Understanding the EZ03 Ozonated Water Maker: Features and Usage Tips

Ryan Sternagel: “Is there a description somewhere for the EZ03 ozonated water maker? I’m on the website and can’t find the description, only the item. Am I missing something?”

Tobias Segal: If you go to the product page, there’s a video that goes over what it does and how it works. I can give you a quick description. It’s pretty simple—there’s a bottle, a generator, and a wireless charging pad. We recommend using distilled water. We also provide drops that you add to enhance ozone production, which allows you to increase or decrease the strength. Once it’s charged, you hold the button for a couple of seconds to turn it on. Then, to start ozone production, you hit the button again, it turns blue, and you’ll see bubbles forming in the bottle. Within three minutes, it turns off, and you have pretty strong, concentrated ozone water. Someone mentioned using it to clean their toothbrush—once the water is done, you can dip your toothbrush in there, and it’ll sterilize it. It’s a good option for that as well.

Ryan Sternagel: I think I see what the issue might be. When you go to the special page you set up for this call, promolife.com/stern, the EZ03 is right up top with a short description and an “add to cart” button. I think they’re looking for a more detailed product page. You can find that by searching for EZ03 in the search bar or by finding it in the products menu on the main website.

Tobias Segal: Yes, that’s correct. If you’re on the homepage of PromoLife, it’ll take you right there. We’re going to try to make it as easy as possible. It’s a fun thing to do; it’s like a science experiment. You can play around with it as much as you want, and you’ll see the benefits, which is cool.

Ryan Sternagel: It’s a great thing to have at home. We can sit here and talk about all the examples, but you’ll see what we’re talking about when you get it home. When this or that thing comes up, you’ll wonder, “I wonder if ozone would be good for this?” And 99 times out of a hundred, the answer is yes, it’s good for that.

[01:22:46] Ozone Water and Silver Fillings: Clarifying Concerns and Comparisons with Common Acids

Ryan Sternagel: “I heard that drinking ozone water is not good if you have silver fillings” Have you ever heard anything about that, Tobias?

Tobias Segal: No. If you look at the reactivity of ozone water with other compounds… Ozone water has a pretty low reactivity rate with most things, whether it’s metals, plastics, or other types of compounds in the mouth. I’d put it this way: if you’re able to drink a Coke, which is highly acidic, and it doesn’t affect your silver fillings, I don’t see why ozone water would. That said, it’s something I need to look into a little more to be 100% confident. But typically, when they add things to the mouth, they have to be chemically resistant to the stuff they come in contact with every day.

Ryan Sternagel: Or does Coke disintegrate silver fillings? I would be surprised if it doesn’t. I would trust ozone over Coke.

Tobias Segal: Coke has an acidity level of about 2 or 3, which is going to negatively affect your dentin and enamel. I get it—it tastes great, but your teeth are the only set you have for your lifetime, so please take care of them.

Ryan Sternagel: There are all those videos where you put something into Coke, leave it for a week, and see if it’s still there when you come back—scary stuff.

[01:24:30] Best Water for the EZ03 Ozone Water Maker: Why Distilled is Recommended and Handling Mineral Content

Ryan Sternagel: Have we addressed this yet: “What kind of water do you add to the EZ03—tap, filtered, distilled?”

Tobias Segal: We recommend distilled water. You can use tap water, but the downside is if it’s too mineralized, it won’t work as well. You can also use reverse osmosis (RO) water, but distilled water gives you the exact concentration we want to see. It’s a bit easier for precise measurements. That said, you can use other types of water, but just be aware of the limitations.

Ryan Sternagel: RO is pretty close to distilled, but with regular filtered water, you’re looking at a higher mineral concentration. So, the biggest factor with more minerals in the water is that you can’t be as exact with the concentration you’re getting, right?

Tobias Segal: Exactly. Sometimes the machine won’t work if the mineral content is too high. For example, I was in Utah a few months back and then went to Vegas for a dental show. I didn’t realize it, but they have super hard water there, and I couldn’t get the device to work. Once I cut down the mineral content in the water, it worked great. There’s too much conductivity with too many minerals, which can interfere with ozone machines that generate ozone this way. The more minerals in the water, the less likely it is to work properly, and you also won’t get the right concentration. It’s not something we can control for.

Ryan Sternagel: We could spend the next hour talking about the great water situation debate, but at the end of the day, we have relatively clean water. We’re not on city water, and we still do oral and distilled or switch back and forth. There’s a big debate about not getting minerals, but my take is that the minerals in tap water aren’t necessarily the highest quality or most bioavailable, so why not get a good humic fulvic acid product, a good sea minerals product, or a good Ormus product? You can find those on our website, TheSternMethod.com—just click on our supplements page. We have five or six different mineral products that we rotate through. I rotate between adding those and drinking pure distilled water because there are cleansing benefits to drinking distilled water without the minerals.

Tobias Segal: I agree. When you look at water sources around the country, you’re right—what type of minerals are we getting? If you have a good well with solid minerals, that’s a different story, but I think a lot of the water we drink today is “dead” water and isn’t as beneficial to the body as it should be, unfortunately.

Ryan Sternagel: I don’t see the drops to order separately from the EZ03. How do you get more?

Tobias Segal: You’d have to go to the EZ03 product page—it should be listed there. It might not be available directly from the promolife.com/stern page, so you’d need to go a different route. But don’t worry, the drops will last you a long time, and there’s reorder information if needed.

[01:28:26] Considering Root Canal Removal: The Importance of Consulting with a Biological Dentist and Seeking Multiple Opinions

Ryan Sternagel: “Do you feel or recommend getting rid of root canals?” Maybe you jumped on late, Diane, but that’s one of the things you need to discuss with a biological dentist.

Tobias Segal: That’s ultimately an individual decision. A biological dentist will provide you with information, but it’s up to you to decide. Many biological dentists see that at some point, there will likely be some bacteria growth because a root canal is essentially a dead spot in your mouth. If it’s not fully cleaned, or if something gets in there later, it can become infected. The issue is that these low-grade systemic infections in the mouth can leach into the body and cause problems over time.

Ryan Sternagel: There are biological dentists who are cleaning out root canals rather than doing new ones. The key takeaway is using ozone gas to clean them out before the final closing of the tooth. Is this advisable?

Tobias Segal: Yes, there are dentists who will do that, but ultimately, it’s the patient’s decision whether they want to go through with it.

Ryan Sternagel: This brings us back to the idea of getting second or third opinions. Don’t just go with what the first biological dentist says—get multiple perspectives.

[01:30:05] Obtaining Oxygen Tanks for Ozone Therapy: Options, Guides, and the Welding Oxygen Route

Ryan Sternagel: Here’s the good old oxygen question: “How do we get the oxygen tanks for use with the equipment if we’re getting the full package?”

Tobias Segal: Excellent question. We have a step-by-step guide on how to do that. The EZ03 requires no oxygen tank because it produces ozone through the process of electrolysis. It splits the oxygen molecules from water (H2O) to generate ozone, but this only works for ozone water, not for ozone gas. If you want ozone gas, you need an oxygen tank with pure oxygen because using ambient air would introduce other unwanted compounds. When that’s run through an ozone machine, it can produce unfavorable byproducts.

If you’re aiming for ozone gas, an oxygen tank is the way to go. On promolife.com/stern, we have detailed instructions on how to obtain oxygen. You can also email us, and we’d be happy to assist. Most people go the welding oxygen route, which sounds odd, but interestingly, welding oxygen and medical oxygen are identical in quality. The only real difference is that medical oxygen tanks have a chain of custody, meaning they are traceable by lot number, while industrial tanks do not have that. I have 100% confidence in industrial oxygen—that’s what I use.

If getting to a store is difficult, there are options to have oxygen tanks shipped to your door, but that does cost a bit more.

Ryan Sternagel: We do the welding route too. The first time you go in, you’re not sure what to expect, but then you get it set up, you have an account, and you just say, “I’m here for a refill,” and they fill you up—that’s it.

Tobias Segal: Absolutely.

[01:32:35] Addressing Nausea from Ozone Oil: Tips for Better Tolerance and Additional Ozone Therapy Options

Ryan Sternagel: “I use the oil and find that the ozone makes me nauseous. Any thoughts?”

Tobias Segal: Are they saying they use the ozone oil and feel nauseous?

Ryan Sternagel: I’m not sure. Bertie, are you using topical ozone oil, or are you oil-pulling?

Tobias Segal: I have a thought on that. Ozone oil has an interesting taste, so you might need to add some essential oils to flavor it. We offer our Tooth & Gum Support flavored with peppermint oil—if you enjoy that taste, it could help a lot. From what I’ve noticed, people who feel nauseous with ozone tend to need it more than others. If you react right off the bat, chances are something else is going on, and the people who consistently use ozone tend to do better over time when they’re around it.

Ryan Sternagel: Learn something new every day.

Tobias Segal: It’s a weird way to look at it, but it’s true.

Ryan Sternagel: Tobias, you’ve generated a lot of questions on this one. That usually means it’s more interesting than not. We’ll go for another 20 minutes to finish out the two-hour time slot. And as you’ve heard, Tobias has excellent customer service. His team can answer all your questions. I’m sure we’re going to miss some questions here, but for those asking about breathing ozone gas—it does need to be bubbled through oil, right? You’ll want to get a package that includes the oil bubbler.

Tobias Segal: We do have packages, and anything can be added on à la carte if needed. If you need to set up a time to discuss this with a salesperson, they’re happy to take your call. It’s easy, and honestly, it’s a nice treatment to do.

My favorite treatments are probably ozone water and ear insufflations. One of my favorite things to do is fill up a syringe with ozone gas and do a sinus treatment. It’s a fast treatment—if you have a stuffy nose, are dealing with allergies, or even if you have a cold, it’s a great way to alleviate a stuffy nose and recover a little faster. That’s another great option I love to do with ozone.

[01:35:10] Using Ozone Therapy for Lyme Disease: Benefits of Ozone Saunas and Rectal Insufflation

Ryan Sternagel: “Have you heard of anyone dealing with Lyme disease using ozone in conjunction with that and having any kind of favorable results?”

Tobias Segal: Yes. What I recommend is ozone saunas—I think that’s a great option, and also rectal insufflation. If you get the Relax Sauna through Ryan, we have kits to add ozone to the Relax Sauna. With Lyme, the heat helps get the blood flow going, allowing the ozone to penetrate deeper. From what I’ve heard from many customers with Lyme disease, ozone saunas are a great option. They notice a lot more improvements when they do that, and in conjunction with rectal insufflation, it provides an additional systemic approach to ozone. Ultimately, we want to kill off the spirochetes, which can bury themselves deep in the joints. That’s where the heat comes in, helping to move things around more effectively. I’m a huge believer in ozone saunas and rectal insufflation when dealing with Lyme.

Ryan Sternagel: Tobias mentioned swishing toothbrushes in the ozone water for sanitizing—much better than using Listerine. If you’re using Listerine right now, I’d suggest getting it out of your house entirely.

“How much is the EZ03?” If you have any questions, the promolife.com/stern page was set up for this call, but you can still go through the rest of the website to find information on everything else.

Tobias Segal: Oh, it’s fantastic. You can take control of your oral health for a great price. It’s easy to use, and I think it gets people in the door to think about ozone in a whole new way. If you’re interested in home ozone as well, it’s a great option. As we’ve discussed, there are so many benefits to using ozone.

[01:37:30] EZ03 Charging and Usage: Wireless Convenience and Ear Insufflation Recommendation

Ryan Sternagel: “How many times can you use the EZ03 before it needs to be recharged? And is it only wireless charging for this product?”

Tobias Segal: Unfortunately, it’s only wireless charging. You can unplug it when done. The cool thing is it’ll last about 30 to 40 cycles, so you could charge it every 2 to 3 weeks. It only takes a few hours to charge. If you’re sensitive to wireless energy, you can just plug it in, leave the house, and when you get back, unplug it, and it’ll be done.

Ryan Sternagel: I’m not too concerned about that. If you’re using Wi-Fi all the time, I wouldn’t worry too much about charging your EZ03 every few weeks.

Would you recommend the ear insufflation?

Tobias Segal: Yes, I would. Ear insufflation with the ear bubbler is easy and fun to do. You’re just adding ozone to your ears for about three to five minutes, and then you’re done.

[01:38:54] Safe Duration for Ear Insufflation: Understanding Your Body’s Response to Ozone Therapy

Ryan Sternagel: Tobias, a lot of times I’ll have the earphones in when I start working—writing an email or responding to stuff, and I’ll forget they’re in for way longer than three to five minutes. Am I messing myself up with that?

Tobias Segal: No, unless you experience irritation afterward. That’s the thing with ozone—it’s not going to hurt you. You’ll know if it’s negatively affecting you, like if you have some irritation. For example, if your ears itch, you’ve had the ozone in your ears for too long. But if that’s not happening, nothing bad is happening to you. Your body naturally produces ozone, so it knows what to do with it. It’s not a foreign substance; our bodies are adapted to dealing with it.

Ryan Sternagel: Good to know. That’s probably why I forget about it because I’m definitely not feeling anything negative.

[01:40:10] Ozone’s Role in Skin Health: Enhancing Aging Skin and Addressing Conditions like Eczema

Ryan Sternagel: “Can ozone water help with the quality of aging skin?”

Tobias Segal: That’s a great question. I would say, I’m not sure about ozone water specifically, but ozone has been shown to help stimulate the liver to produce glutathione. It also helps balance your body’s oxidant and antioxidant levels, which are crucial for slowing the aging process. From my perspective, being in good health helps maintain your telomeres and slows the aging process. By keeping yourself healthy, you’re essentially normalizing the aging process, which also affects your skin. So, being healthy overall will help you age less.

Ryan Sternagel: There you go. It seems like using it topically could help too—washing with ozone water wouldn’t hurt.

Tobias Segal: It does stimulate the body to heal. If you have skin damage or sun damage, we offer a lot of ozone products that work great for sunburns. I’ve talked to many people who put ozone oil on their faces, and it helps maintain a vibrant, tightened look, which is great

Ryan Sternagel: We talked about ozone oil for topical skin uses, especially for anyone dealing with eczema. I can give a dissertation on eczema because we went through it with my son. Healing the gut and addressing it from the inside out is crucial, but there’s also a topical infection and inflammation component. Until you deal with that topically, even if you heal the gut, it might not completely reverse the eczema—at least in more severe cases. Ozone oil is great for quelling inflammation and getting rid of the infection.

“What ozone oil do you recommend for dental oil pulling?” Tobias has his own line of ozone oils and dental oil pulling. You can find everything through the promolife.com/stern link.

[01:43:10] Adding Minerals to Ozone Water: Considerations for pH and Ozone Concentration

Ryan Sternagel: “Can you add minerals to the ozone water after it’s generated to increase the pH?”

Tobias Segal: You could. Some people find that ozone water doesn’t taste as great as regular mineral water, so you could add flavoring, like a little bit of lemon juice. I don’t see why you couldn’t add minerals, but keep in mind that the active ozone gas in the water might react with the minerals and reduce the ozone concentration. It may not be quite as strong if you add minerals afterward.

[01:43:55] Avoid Mixing Ozone Water with Colloidal Silver: Understanding the Interaction and Why It Doesn’t Work

Ryan Sternagel: Following up on that: “Can you mix ozone water with colloidal silver if you wanted to go hard?”

Tobias Segal: I don’t think so. I don’t think mixing ozone and colloidal silver is going to work because colloidal silver has its own reactivity. When you start mixing ozone and silver, it’s not going to work well. That kind of stems from the earlier question about silver implants—something else is going on with the silver implants that bind it better, but true colloidal silver and ozone don’t mix.

Ryan Sternagel: That was a good “only in America” question—like, “Can I ramp this up?” I wasn’t saying that in a derogatory way—that’s the same way I think.

[01:44:00] Recommendations for Water Distillers: Exploring Options and Filtration Considerations

Ryan Sternagel: “Can you recommend a good water distiller?” I’ve wanted one forever, and we finally got it. I’ve heard there are issues with the Megahome, which is a popular one—it doesn’t have an auto-off feature. We finally got the Water Lovers, it is amazing. What do you like, Tobias?

Tobias Segal: The ones I’ve used before, like Waterwise, are pretty good brands. I haven’t used one in a while, but I’ve always been intrigued by the stainless steel stovetop models where you can add the water, it boils, and you generate distilled water that way. I think there are a lot of options out there. One thing I’ve heard with distilled water is that you have to run it through a carbon filter to remove any potential contaminants. Is that correct?

Ryan Sternagel: The Water Lovers is a countertop model that sits in a large steel container. The water gets boiled and then travels from the steel container down into the pitcher. It takes a couple of hours to fill up the big pitcher—you can do it overnight or in the morning, and you can make quite a bit of water that way. There’s a small charcoal filter that you put in there, which you need to change every few months. I’ve never paid much attention to why it’s needed, but you answered that.

Tobias Segal: Accidentally answered it, indeed.

[01:46:55] Additional Uses for Ozone Water: From Scalp Care to Vegetable Cleaning and the Apeel Coating Concern

Ryan Sternagel: Any other uses for the water that we haven’t covered yet, Tobias? I think it’d be great to know.

Tobias Segal: You can use ozone water on the scalp if you have dandruff issues, or for cleaning cuts. You can pour it into a spray bottle to spray your vegetables or surfaces. A lot of people are getting into ozone water for pesticide removal on vegetables. One of the questions I’m trying to research as much as possible—though you might know more about this than I do—is about the whole controversy with the “Apeel” coating they’re putting on foods nowadays. People have asked if ozone water removes the Apeel coating. It’s hard for me to answer because we don’t know what it is. I want to say yes, but I can’t be sure.

Ryan Sternagel: Just avoid Apeel altogether. I know they were labeling it at first, but now I don’t think they necessarily label it anymore because of the backlash. For example, Whole Foods—anything that potentially has wax on it, like apples or most fruits, we essentially stopped getting fruit from Whole Foods. We now shop at Natural Grocers and love Azure Standard. If you look up Azure Standard, I’m getting more and more into those guys. That’s an online ordering thing, by the way.

Tobias Segal: I think as long as it says organic, it’s technically not supposed to have Apeel from what I’ve heard. I don’t know, but that’s what I’ve heard. I know that’s the case with Natural Grocers—all the produce they sell is organic. I’d like to think there are still some standards in place for organic food.

[01:49:15] Refilling Oxygen Tanks for Ozone Therapy: Options, Costs, and Best Practices

Ryan Sternagel: “Are we able to refill the tanks you sell with welding oxygen?” I suppose you could, but when you go to the welding store—at least the one I go to—you’re not handing them your tank to refill; You’re handing them your empty tank, and they give you another full one.

Tobias Segal: They treat it like a propane tank. If you have a grill, once your tank is empty, you give them your empty tank, and they give you a different one that’s filled. The great thing about these small tanks from a welding supply is their size—they’re about 18 inches tall. I usually get around six months of use out of that size tank. You can get bigger tanks, but depending on how often you use them, for me, it’s every six months that I need a new tank. It costs me about $30 for a refill. When you look at the overall expense of getting that oxygen refilled, it’s virtually nothing compared to how long it lasts.

Ryan Sternagel: That doesn’t account for a four-year-old—or sometimes an eight-year-old, not very often an 11-year-old—leaving the thing open and letting it all run out.

Tobias Segal: I didn’t account for that happening, but it can happen. I’ve done it before. You’ll just have to get the tank refilled, I guess. Stuff happens—I did it once and haven’t done it again.

Ryan Sternagel: We got even bigger ones because I like having a big tank just in case. The smaller ones, like the size Tobias held up, last a long time.

[01:51:22] Comparing Vaginal and Rectal Insufflation: Effectiveness and Benefits for Women’s Health

Ryan Sternagel: “Is vaginal insufflation as effective as rectal insufflation?” I assume when we say “as effective,” we’re talking about systemic benefits. Vaginal insufflation is beneficial if you have specific vaginal issues. Any thoughts on vaginal insufflation compared to rectal insufflation?

Tobias Segal: There are a lot of blood vessels down there. I’ve met with many people who’ve talked to me about this, and there’s good evidence that it can be close to rectal insufflation. I’m not going to say it’s 100% as effective, but if you can do both rectal and vaginal insufflation, you have the option to alternate between the two. If you experience irritation from rectal insufflation, you can switch to vaginal insufflation to minimize that irritation. For women dealing with issues like endometriosis, it’s a great solution. Probably the biggest benefit I see for women doing vaginal insufflation is in regulating periods—if you have irregular or heavy periods, doing the insufflation (not during your period) can help bring your flow back to a normal level and reduce the duration. There are a lot of positive benefits regarding vaginal insufflation and women’s health.

[01:53:00] EZ03 Ozone Water: Safe for Drinking and Oral Health

Ryan Sternagel: To make sure it’s clear, does the EZ03 make drinkable water as well as water that’s good for oral health?

Tobias Segal: You absolutely can drink it. Like I said, put a little ice in it, add some lemon if you want, and enjoy.

Ryan Sternagel: I don’t even mind the taste.

[01:53:23] Ozone Water and Mycotoxins: Supporting Gut Health and Immune Response

Ryan Sternagel: “There were a couple of questions on mycotoxins and whether ozone water will kill mold growing in the gastrointestinal system.” I think we’ll wrap it up there.

Tobias Segal: If you can get it there, I think it’s going to help. I like to think of it from the standpoint that if it boosts your immune system, it will help your body fight that stuff off. Once you drink ozone water, it hits the stomach and turns into other oxidative compounds, so there’s a chance it can reach some of those areas. There’s so much going on in the gut that you still need to clean up your diet and change your microbiome to address those issues. Look at ozone as something that assists your body. It helps enhance your body’s ability to repair itself, but it’s not a one-stop solution for everything.

Ryan Sternagel: Tobias, you had a relatively short presentation compared to some. Sometimes people get on and start the PowerPoint deck, and we’re still finishing the presentation by this time. But you got through your presentation quickly, and we spent over an hour taking questions. There are still many more, which means, one, it’s a fascinating topic, and two, I’m glad we’re spreading the word about the benefits of having ozone at home. I think we’re reaching a tipping point where people are starting to realize it’s a good idea—just like having a sauna in your house, which was once considered unusual. I think we’re turning the corner with ozone as well, and it’s been fun to be part of that with you.

Tobias Segal: I appreciate it. I want to address what needs to be said, and I’d love to dive into future topics down the road as well. There are so many amazing aspects of ozone that we could discuss for hours. I think answering the questions is a huge part of it.

Ryan Sternagel: I love it. We’ll come back next time with a deep dive into something else—another aspect of how awesome ozone is. All right, everybody, good job sticking around and asking questions. Hopefully, you got all your questions answered. If not, Tobias has the best customer service around. Reach out to them with any questions, whether you’re confused about the price or anything else.

Tobias Segal: People can email me directly as well. If anyone wants to email me, it’s [email protected]. I’ll do my best to get to your questions and answer them—just give me a couple of days. I’d be happy to help.

Ryan Sternagel: You’re the man. All right, everybody.

Tobias Segal: I appreciate the time. Thanks so much.
