    		Ozone is a poisonous form of oxygen that can damage both plant and animal tissue. The molecules forming this invisible, odorless gas contains 3 oxygen atoms --- O3.

    Hm, a contradiction.

    Ozone has been found to be an extremely safe medical therapy, free from side effects. In a 1980 study done by the German Medical Society for Ozone Therapy, 644 therapists were polled regarding their 384,775 patients, comprising a total of 5,579,238 ozone treatments administered. There were only 40 cases of side effects noted out of this number which represents the incredibly low rate of .000007%, and only four fatalities. Ozone has thus proven to be the safest medical therapy ever devised.
