The
answer is really quite simple. Is all due to the oxidation
defense system, within your body, which utilizes a special blend of enzymes.
Have you ever cut yourself on accident and then used hydrogen peroxide
on the wound? What happened? The hydrogen peroxide started to fizz or
bubble when it made contact with your wound, right? But why? It's due
to the reaction of certain enzymes within our body that protect us from
hydro peroxide, ozone, hydroxyls, super oxides and more.
One example is Glutathione peroxidase. It is a peroxidase found in humans,
which contains selenocysteine. It uses glutathione as a electron donor
and is active with both hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxide substrates.
Another enzyme is Catalase. Present in the peroxisomes of nearly all aerobic
cells, it serves to protect the cell from the toxic effects of hydrogen
peroxide by catalyzing its decomposition into molecular oxygen and water
without the production of free radicals. Superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD)
catalyses the dismutation reaction of the toxic superoxide radical to
molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide and thus forms a crucial part of
the cellular antioxidant defense mechanism.
Your body also contains many other antioxidants to help protect you from
oxidation. More and more of the foods we eat and the supplements
we take are being loaded with antioxidants as well.
To
put things in plain english; your body defends itself against
these ions naturally, but mold, bacteria, viruses and other biological
contaminents do not have the same defense mechanisms that we posses.
Therefore the ions we produce are deadly to simply organism, but won't
harm people or their pets.
