Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation The Company may be subject to certain claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, uninsured losses, if any, resulting from the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Rakas vs. Medizone International, Inc. - A former consultant brought this action against the Company claiming the Company had failed to pay consulting fees under a consulting agreement. In September 2001, the parties agreed to settle the matter for $25,000. The Company, however, did not have the funds to pay the settlement and the plaintiff moved the court to enter a default judgment in the amount of $143,000 in January 2002. On May 8, 2002, the court vacated the default judgment and requested that the Company post a bond of $25,000 to cover the settlement previously entered into by the parties. The Company has been unable to post the required bond amount as of the date of this report. Therefore, the Company has recorded in accounts payable, the original default judgment in the amount of $143,000, plus fees totaling $21,308, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company intends to contest the claim if and when it is able to do so in the future. Related Party Agreements In July 2016, the Company issued notes to its former CEO Edwin Marshall, former Director of Operations, Jill Marshall, and Michael Shannon, President of CFGH that were in settlement of $228,109 of accounts payable – related parties, and $1,389,772 of accrued expenses – related parties into three promissory notes payable – related parties aggregating to $1,617,881. The principal amounts of the promissory notes issued were $1,065,189; $444,583 and $111,109, respectively. The promissory notes were issued in settlement of our liability to these three individuals for accrued and unpaid compensation owed for periods prior to December 31, 2009. Payment of the amounts owning under the terms of the notes is due upon the earlier to occur of (a) a change in control of the Company (as defined in the notes), (b) the executive’s death or (c) the executive’s disability as (defined in the notes or in the respective executive’s written employment agreement). In addition, in the case of the notes payable to our former executives, payment of the notes would be triggered by the Company’s failure to pay the executive’s base salary in accordance with the terms and conditions of the executive’s employment agreement because of disability. In February 2017, Mr. Marshall and Dr. Marshall resigned from their positions with us and their employment was terminated.
