CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

USA Today reports:

Gwyneth Paltrow revealed the “weirdest” thing she’s done in pursuit of wellness. The Oscar-winning actress, who is also the founder of the lifestyle brand Goop, opened up about the strangest wellness activity she’s participated in during her appearance on the podcast  The Art of Being Well. “I have used ozone therapy, rectally,” Paltrow said. “It’s pretty weird. But it’s been very helpful.”

According to the ozone therapy website drsozone.com, rectal insufflation ozone therapy involves “the administration of medical grade ozone directly into the colon via the rectum.” The goal of the therapy is to boost oxygen efficiency, balance the immune system, reduce oxidative stress, improve blood circulation and “detoxify the body on a cellular level,” the website claims.

Ozone is a very powerful oxidant which is TOXIC to biological organisms.

It is particularly toxic to mucous membranes. The same membranes that line Gwyneth Paltrow’s anus and rectum.

This isn’t detoxification, it’s industrial level stupidity.@goop https://t.co/NxznC06Pxe
