    "inventor_name": "Dr. Fritz Blass",
    "publication_year": 1989,
    "device_name": "Homozone",
    "goal": "Deliver stabilized nascent oxygen (ozone) via magnesium peroxide to improve oxidation in the body and treat chronic diseases.",
    "problem_addressed": "Chronic, incurable illnesses attributed to insufficient oxidation and poor vital fluid quality.",
    "concept_summary": "A powdered form of stabilized oxygen bound to pharmaceutical-grade magnesium peroxide is ingested or applied to the skin, releasing nascent oxygen (ozone) that is claimed to enhance oxidation, cleanse the intestines, and restore health.",
    "detailed_description": "Dr. Blass describes a product derived from magnesium peroxide that, when mixed with water or taken orally, releases nascent oxygen (ozone) which is absorbed through the digestive tract, mucus membranes, and skin. The therapy is intended to increase the body's oxidative capacity, normalize alkaline minerals in vital fluids, and thereby heal disease. The method is presented as an alternative to conventional allopathic, homeopathic, osteopathic, chiropractic, and naturopathic treatments, emphasizing that oxidation is the fundamental source of life and health.",
