Ozone Therapy
It had long been thought that ozone had healing properties and Tesla patented an ozone-generating machine in 1896, forming the Tesla Ozone Company in 1900. His portable ‘ozonizers’ were used to disinfect rooms as ozone kills germs. He is also thought to have ozonated olive oil. He gave one of his machines to his long-serving secretary George Scherff for his wife who was ill at the time. ‘I believe that it will do you and Mrs Scherff a lot of good,’ he wrote, ‘unless you have no electricity supply circuit in your house, in which case, it will be necessary to move into other quarters.’
