Healthful Benefits of O2

1: Toxic Stress

- Stress resulting from toxic environmental chemicals requires the use of extra oxygen: since oxygen is used in all detoxification processes.

2: Emotional Stress

- stress everyone is familiar with; it brings about the production of adrenaline and adrenal-related hormones which utilize oxygen.

3: Physical Trauma

- reduces circulation and the subsequent oxygen supply to a great many cells and tissues throughout the entire body

4: Infections

- use up "free radical" forms of oxygen to combat bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Frequent use of drugs to counteract infections also depletes cellular oxygen since oxygen is required to metabolize them out of the system. Oxygen is one of the most important keys to good health, but not everyone is aware of it. Currently, scientists are examining the role oxygen starvation plays in the development of disease.

The four modern-day stressors - toxic stress, emotional stress, physical trauma and infections - draw upon and excessively deplete the body's oxygen supply. If the stress or stressor are not reduced, the individual becomes susceptible to a number of infirmities. Oxygen is indeed an important key to good health, and research has shown that there is a significant difference in the amount of oxygen in a  strong healthy person and a chronically ill individual.

The industrial revolution, technological advancements and modern transportation have seriously depleted oxygen levels in the atmosphere. Our obsession with carbon-based fuels to power generators, planes and automobiles consume vast amounts of oxygen daily. This trend is unlikely to change in the near future.

Improper diets drain oxygen from our bodies 

The majority of people eat food that is excessively acidic. Their diet emphasizes red meat, coffee, and even soda pop. This causes the development of an acid (less than optimally alkaline) constitution with an excess of positively-charged hydrogen ions (H+) in the entire system. When excessive numbers of hydrogen ions are in the tissues, they combine with and use up oxygen. This reduces the amount of oxygen available for the primary function of metabolism. Health problems follow.

An oxygen deficiency plays an important part in cellular contamination. Oxygen is a powerful detoxifier and when its quantity is deficient, toxins begin to devastate bodily functions and deplete the body of life-giving energy.

Dr. Freibott explains why oxygen and oxydation is so vital: "It is the lack of oxygen in proper amounts that prevents oxidation and oxygenation, which energizes the cell to biological regeneration. These processes are the "foundation of life and death". 

Dr. Otto Warburg, who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine, proved that the GROWTH OF CANCER IS INHIBITED IN A HIGH OXYGEN ENVIRONMENT.

His Nobel laureate lecture showed that when oxidation fails and fermentation is substituted for a cell's energy, the pathway to cancer is opened. 

Today, noted authorities also stress that most disease, especially yeast or fungal infections like candida albicans, occur most frequently in any oxygen-poor environment in the body.

Dr. Parris Kidd has stated that: "Oxygen plays a pivotal role in the proper functioning of the immune system; i.e.. resistance to disease, bacteria and viruses".

An unfortunate side effect of antibiotic therapy is that it generally is not as selective and kills the good bacteria as well as the bad. When levels of beneficial bacteria are reduced we lose our natural balance that keeps the disease-causing bacteria under control.

Dr. Steven Levine, a respected nutrition researcher, has stated that: "We can look at Oxygen deficiency as the single greatest cause of all diseases."

There is currently a virtual epidemic of common yeast infections (Candida Albicans). These take root with relative ease in an oxygen-deprived body.  In this environment, yeast cells generate large quantities of acetaldehyde, causing cellular damage. Acetaldehyde in the intestinal wall and liver disrupt intestinal absorption and impair white and red blood cell functions.

When yeast cells are deprived of oxygen, they become even more resistant to immune defences, since they are capable of anaerobic (no-oxygen) metabolism. A low oxygen level is the major contributing factor to yeast.

Oxygen is a kind of gas. Oxygen is found in the air, soil, and water. Nearly all living things need oxygen to stay alive.

  Ordinary oxygen makes up part of the atmosphere, or air, around the Earth. This oxygen has no color, taste, or smell.

Another form of oxygen, called ozone, is found in the atmosphere in small amounts. But ozone high up in the atmosphere is very important to life on Earth. This ozone layer protects the Earth from dangerous rays of the sun.
