It is interesting to note that throughout the FDA's
history, several drugs have been approved for human use only later to
have been found to be hazardous to human health.
More often than not, an "engineer" that is well
read on Government Bulletins will object to the presence of Ozone,
because they have "read" someplace that Ozone is "hazardous" to human
health. Yet, several of these "engineers" will be either smokers, or
users of alcoholic beverages and will not recognize that the
substances they are either smoking or drinking are destroying their
body. Yet, they are the first people to be influenced by an OSHA
Bulletin created by a government official that has less knowledge
about Ozone than the average high school chemistry student!
In 1992, the American Medical Association published
information that stated, " nearly 28% of all Cancer of the Intestines
and 18% of all Cancer of the Bladder was caused by the drinking of
Chlorinated Water."
In 1984, the West German Swimming Team refused to
swim in the Olympic Pool in Los Angeles because of the chlorinated
water system.
Yet, again today, chlorine is the number one method
used by the United States for purification of water!
Today, after nearly fifty years, more companies are
producing Ozone Purification Systems in the United States than in any
other country in the world.
From 1953 to 1965, Nick Trikilis invented the ARAN
generator which was patented in 1965. His patent stated that only the
Oxygen molecule was separated and reformed in a "new" molecule that
was greater than the Ozone molecule. Ozone has three (3) atoms of
Oxygen and is generally formed by either electric spark or
Ultra-violet Light. In the upper atmosphere better known as the Ozone
Layer, the Ultra-violet rays from our Sun create the Ozone which forms
the "protective layer of visible blue air" which surrounds our Earth.
This Ozone Layer is a reflective "shield" which
absorbs and/or deflects the most harmful UltraViolet Rays from our
Sun.
We measure the thickness of this "layer" using
Ultra-violet light detectors which measures the amount of Ultra-violet
light penetrating the Earth through the Ozone Layer. This penetration,
when significantly high, causes people with sensitive skin to burn and
potentially can cause melanomas (Skin Cancers) which are Life
Threatening!
It is generally this same test that is used to
detect the amount of Ozone in a city's atmosphere, and when the "ozone
levels" are considered to be significantly "high," the EPA will send
bulletins out through the radio stations notifying the public of this
"dangerously high concentration."
It is for this reason that I feel it necessary to
inform the readers of this history about the misconceptions
perpetrated upon the public and to update the information concerning
Ozone and our product, ARAN.
In 1963, a Utah Distributor of ARANAIR CORPORATION
used a testimonial letter sent to my father as "proof' that the
ARANAIR units had therapeutic value in helping Asthmatics breathe
easier without medication.
This misrepresentation by a distributor caused the
FDA to impound all the Air Purifiers in Utah and to send Federal
Marshalls to Wooster, Ohio, and close ARANAIR CORPORATION!
For nearly two years, Nick Trikilis, through his
attorney, George Tzangas, fought the FDA in the Case "U.S. Pure Food &
Drug vs. Aranair" at great expense to Aranair Corporation.
After Aranair's successful endeavor, the attorney
wrote Aranair Corporation indicating that ARANAIRE WAS NOT HARMFUL TO
HUMAN HEALTH!
"Gentlemen:
"This office diligently worked and succeeded in
proving to the U.S. Pure Food & Drug Administration that your
product is NOT HARMFUL OR DETRIMENTAL TO PUBLIC HEALTH. (emphasis added by T.N.Trikilis) We won our case after great amounts
of work and expenses incurred in the expedition of our work..."
Very truly yours, George J. Tzangas
(excerpt from attorney's letter to Aranair Corp., July 24, 1964)
While the time and expense was incurred by ARANAIR
CORPORATION, the FDA made no effort to reimburse the company for its
defensive action!
While there are many "experts" stating that ARAN as
O4, O5, O6, OX, etc.,
cannot and does not exist, a Japanese physicist, Dr.Uozumi, through
"balanced mathematical and chemical equations," revealed that airborne
Oxygen, when exposed to dense, high velocity electron plasma (without
any heat from electrode sparking), will form into higher atomic
groupings like O10. This is through alterations in the
individual atomic valences of the Oxygen Atom. Once this "Super
Oxygen" is released, it very rapidly tries to return to the more
stable O2. In its rapidly decaying from O10,
down to O9, O8, O7, O6, O5,
O4, O3, and O2, it randomly gives off
electrons that encounter other previously unaffected Oxygen molecules,
and impacts them, giving them some of its secondary free electrons.
These Oxygen molecules are transformed by this process into higher
forms, from O9, to O8, O7, etc.,
which in turn break down into O7, O6, etc., also
releasing electrons and creating other higher forms, which then break
down and give off electrons, etc...,"
As illustrated by Dr. Uozumi's studies, ARAN is a
process that is self-sustaining and continues to break down and
regroup because of the intense energy required in creating the ARAN
molecule!
Dr. Uozumi is not the only scientist to acknowledge
higher allotropic forms of Oxygen other than Ozone (O3). In
1943, Herman W. Schuette, from St. Louis, Missouri, received a patent
for producing "Octozone" (O8, O6, O4)
sometimes called "Heavy Oxygen" which he stated could be used in many
cases to aid in various medical conditions from Sinusitis to
prostatitis, gonorrhea and anthrax.
Dr. Manfred Curry, the noted German scientist,
discusses "Aran" in his "Bioklimatik" as early as 1946 stating that
higher forms of Oxygen other than O2 can be found in the
upper stratosphere. Areas where air is unaffected by pollutants will
often have other allotropic forms of Oxygen ranging from Ozone (O3)
to heavier Oxygen forms such as O4 , O5 , O6,
OX!
In Van Nostrand's SCIENTIFIC ENCYCLOPEDIA,
Fifth Edition, identifies Oxygen (O4), as the "rare,
very unstable, non-magnetic, pale-blue O4 ."
An Encyclopaedia printed by the R.R. Donnelley &
Sons Co., reference is made to the Oxygen Molecule, O4,
stating that "the least volatile portions of liquid ozone contains a
denser gas of great chemical activity to which the name "oxozone" has been given with the molecular formula O4 . Their source
for this information being attributed to C.D. Harries, 1911!
As late as 1970, the existence of higher allotropic
forms of Oxygen were still being questioned. Aranair Corporation
provided a Model LR air purifier to Campbell and Associates, an
outside Engineering Firm, for testing. The results of their testing
are noted hereafter:
"Results: Gas emitted and weighed shows to have
molecular weight about six times heavier than oxygen. Gas combined
in oxidation five times faster than oxygen. The flame tests shows
ranges to be greater than Ozone and to be in the Pentoxide Range
meaning O5 or ARAN as described by the company."
Just as Ozone (O3) is different from
Oxygen (O2), ARAN is different than Ozone. Yet, an
"over-the-counter" Public Corporation called "Medizone," has obtained
a patent (#4,632,980) for medical treatment using Ozone as its
"medicine." It also obtained a FDA I.N.D. (Investigative New Drug)
status, which gives them sole rights to : "The use of ozone in the
inactivation of lipid envelope viruses within blood and blood products
that may be returned to a mammalian host."
Just as there are individuals that claim Hydrogen
Peroxide (H2O2) if taken orally in very dilute
amounts will help keep the human body free of bacteria and disease,
the use of Ozone either taken anally or intravenously is touted by
many users of Ozone as the panacea for most human ailments.
Since ARAN is very concentrated Oxygen molecules,
it is easy to see that an average person breathing normal mixtures of
air will require less breaths when breathing ARAN to achieve the same
results. Yet, it is very often the person that has been smoking or
breathing foul air that is the first to complain about the "odour of
Aran" as their lungs are saturated with by-products of their smoking
or polluted work place and the oxidation effect of ARAN in the
atmosphere is now performing the same task in that individual's lungs!
Too much ARAN has an "arresting effect" on a
person's lungs if they are exposed too long or to too much ARAN.
Remember, the body will only absorb so many molecules of Oxygen in
performing its respiration, and too much Oxygen in the Human System
will have the same effect as too much Oxygen in a Fighter Pilot's
Oxygen Mask. Fortunately, the ARAN machine has a dial that allows the
owner to adjust the machine to fit the concentration of pollution that
may be present.
When adjusting any ARAN machine, it is best to
remember the following directions:
"If you can smell the ARAN, the unit is probably
set too high; if you can smell the odor, the unit is set too low. You
should not be able to smell anything and the dial gives each person
the opportunity to adjust the unit to their own level of comfort."
As there are many documented facts related to the
benefits of using Ozone in both air and water purification, there is
very little published information about experiments related to human
exposure to Ozone. It is well known to both scientist and layperson
that Ozone is bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal, however tests
conducted on mice and birds will have a much different effect when
conducted on the Human Beings.
In early 1960, the University of Florida,
Department of Agriculture, conducted experiments using the Aranair
units manufactured by my father. The results of the experiments were
very rewarding and led to the publishing of a report for the Florida
State Horticultural Society (October 25-27, 1960) in which R.O. Magie,
Plant Pathologist, Gulf Coast Experiment Station, stated the use of
Ozone as a deterrent to the fungus, Botrytis. On July 18, 1962, R.O.
Magic wrote my father a letter stating that:
This is to certify that the air purifiers that I
used in my disease control tests with gladiolus and chrysanthemum
flowers were YOUR ARANAIR UNITS. (Emphasis added by T.N.Trikilis) I
used these units over a two year period in small and large cabinets
as well as in rooms. We used them at room temperature and in cold
storage rooms."
Since my father's patent was not granted until
1965, the use of ARAN and ARANAIRE were not used as much as Ozone by
the scientific community since the "Theory of a molecule having more
than three (3) atoms to it was difficult at best to believe yet
prove". Yet, in 1964, the copyright for ARAN was registered in the
Library of Congress, Washington D.C. and one year later the Patent
Office registered the patent for the ARAN generator to Nick Trikilis.
Today, there are those in the Ozone field that will
not acknowledge the presence or existence of ARAN since to recognize
ARAN is to "outdate" the Ozone applications and obviously create a
competitor that has much more to offer the customer than Ozone.
The first steps taken by T. Nick Trikilis for ARAN
- AQUA Pollution Control Systems will be to publish the many
testimonials obtained by Nick Trikilis through the thirty years he
endeavoured to pursue the ARAN dream.
Drew Pearson, the noted columnist who wrote "Inside
Washington," was my father's personal friend. He interviewed my father
in 1960 for the Television Program, "New Horizons" which aired
nationally from August, 1960, through December of 1960. As he tried to
introduce my father to people in Washington D.C. that could have
helped my father in the early years, this effort was cut short by Mr.
Pearson's untimely death.
In a letter from Thomas Curren, New Horizons
Productions, Mr. Curran writes:
"Mr. Pearson was quite pleased and said that your
product is really one that is worthwhile..." (Excerpt March 14th,
1960)
It is difficult for anyone to give guarantees on
any product in which both the uninformed public and the governmental
"experts" truly believe a "substance to be harmful to human Health."
Yet, the fact that ARAN is really Oxygen, and Oxygen is the most
important substance in sustaining Human Life, makes one believe than
anything that is pure and unpolluted certainly cannot be harmful to
the Human Being. The logic does not follow that Oxygen is harmful to
health, however Oxides of Nitrogen, present in Ozone-producing
equipment, is. And perhaps this is where the true controversy begins.
"MODERATION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN EXCESSIVENESS!"
As a man that has lived in an abundance of ARAN
since early childhood, I can testify that I have very healthy lungs
and that I cannot remember any day that I have had any problems
breathing, nor have I ever suffered from any ailment that could be
considered a result of my exposure to ARAN. I feel better on a bad day
than most people feel on a "good day."
From 1959 to 1962, I worked in my own personal
laboratory testing ARAN and its oxidation effect on several elements
and compounds. The hours that I spent in a 8' x 8' x 8' room with
concentrations of ARAN far above the tolerable level to most people is
immeasurable. The fact that I wrestled for the high school and found
myself able to sustain longer periods without fatigue as compared to
my fellow wrestlers is probably due to my lungs having a capacity to
breathe better than others were breathing.
As I am allergic to dust, an ARAN generator
comforts me in both my business and home and makes it possible for me
to breathe without taking medication for the allergy. I believe that
the ARAN generator not only purifies the air, but ionizes the
particles in the air and causes the particles to either attach
themselves to the floor, walls and ceiling or to be attracted to other
ionized particles and collectively fall from the air as a larger
particle unable to sustain its "floatation" because of the greater
weight.
The future for ARAN and the ARANIZER is only now
beginning and each month will give us more information and many more
updated testimonials.
Should you find anyone that "objects" to the ARAN
machine, remember that the person is uninformed and ignorant of this
new product. Perhaps they are a smoker or a person that works in a
polluted atmosphere. Be tolerant, but remember it is what is important
to you that matters. If you are happy with the unit, and you are
satisfied with its results, then that is all that matters.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and if
there are any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.
"Pure air and water for a better life for ourselves
and for generations to come."
