Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen therapy is a form of treatment based upon the premise that all harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi (e.g. flu, colds, AIDs, candida albicans and cancerous cells) are anaerobic - they can only thrive in low oxygen environments. Conversely, to maintain good health, the human body requires a rich supply of oxygen.
Dr Otto Warburg, twice Nobel laureate was able to prove that cancer cannot grow in a high oxygen environment. He states: ‘Cancer, above all diseases, has countless secondary causes, but there is only one prime cause: the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of normal oxygen respiration of body cells by anaerobic respiration’. In other words, lack of oxygen. His research revealed that when a cell is denied 60% of its normal requirement of oxygen, it switches to a fermentation mechanism and grows out of control. Researchers have since shown that cancerous growths contract and even disappear when oxygen saturation is sufficiently raised in the fluids surrounding them.
According to Dr Warburg, both normal cells and cancer cells derive energy from glucose, but normal cells require oxygen to combine with the glucose, while cancer cells break down glucose without oxygen, yielding only 1/15 the energy per glucose molecule that a normal cell produces. (This explains why people who consume excessive quantities of sugar may be more at risk from cancer).
The anaerobic breakdown of glucose by cancer cells forms large amounts of lactic acid. Some of this is converted back into glucose by the liver which in so doing uses one fifth of the energy per glucose molecule that a normal cell can, but that still leaves three times more available energy for cancer cells. This wasteful metabolism becomes self-sustaining and dominant unless (a) the cancer’s energy supply is eliminated or (b) oxygen or energy levels to normal cells are significantly increased.
In essence, therefore, advocates of oxygen therapy claim that it is the lack of oxygen on a cellular level that is responsible for disease. The greater oxygen levels in our bodies, the more resistant we become to viruses and harmful bacteria. This is the principle upon which oxygen therapy is based.
There are a number of reasons why oxygen levels are restricted to human tissue.
Environmental:
At sea level, approximately 20 per cent of the atmosphere is supposed to be oxygen, but due to the high levels of smog and low numbers of trees in cities, the available amount of oxygen can reduced to 10 per cent.
Carbon monoxide fumes from cars strip oxygen molecules from the blood.
Tap water is very low in oxygen because its journey through lead pipes and the addition of chlorine and other chemical contaminants prevent it from being aerated.
Dietary:
Cooking or heating food reduces the oxygen content in vegetables and fruits, and processed foods have little or no oxygen content. In 1961, Dr R.A. Holman M.D., senior lecturer in Bacteriology, School of Medicine at the University of Wales stated that the answer to cancer lies in ‘the fundamental catalase-peroxide mechanism of our own cells’... ‘to this end, it is urgently required that a concerted effort be made at an international level to curtail the intake of catalase-inhibiting agents, whether in the air, food, drink, drugs or radiation to which we are exposed.’ He went on to suggest that ‘this plan should be coupled with a campaign to increase the intake of catalase by the consumption of fresh, living foodstuffs together with a re-education of man to use his animal body in the way for which it was designed’.
This, of course, supports the current day notion that a diet high in fibre made up largely from fresh, organic fruits and vegetables together with moderate aerobic exercise and adequate rest and relaxation is the best prescription for health. However, once the body’s natural defence systems have been broken down through an unhealthy lifestyle, there comes a point when patients are unable to obtain sufficient oxygen through diet and lifestyle to regain health. And, perhaps this is where oxygen therapy offers potential help.
Ozone treatment
Ozone treatments are many , but the one that really stands out for consideration , is the use of a device known as an OZONATOR. This simple machine passes air through silicone beads through a tube into water and forces "extra" oxygen molecules into the suspension. Drinking 1/4 to 1/2 pint fairly quickly after 2 minutes of this activity , results in an enriched supply of oxygen entering the body.
Here is a link to a supplier of this device via the internet.
There are obviously many other varieties available but this was the most economical yet still efficient device we could find. TRUE would like to point out , that this is not a recommendation that you use this device. We are merely pointing out that it is there for consideration, and the science behind its use appears very sound.
