Oxygen Problem:

There are many ways people become oxygen deficient, and over time, each way can lead directly to illness and disease. The effects of oxygen deficiency on the body are well known to astronauts and submariners. The ongoing oxygen depletion of the atmosphere is by no means the only cause of oxygen deficiency in the human body. Diet is also an important factor. Few people realize that “junk food” is low in oxygen content and high in toxic preservatives. Eating junk foods ends up forcing the body to use up more of its precious oxygen than usual in order to oxidize the chemical preservatives and metabolize what few nutrients that may be left. Dense compounds like fat and proteins are not only low in oxygen themselves but also require extra oxygen from the body to convert them into energy.

Other oxygen-robbing foods include processed sugar, white flour, alcohol, and caffeine-loaded drinks such as coffee and colas. These foods require tremendous amounts of oxygen in order to be metabolized. Since they are so low in oxygen content and so high in caloric content, the body has to divert needed oxygen from primary metabolic functions (like proper heartbeat, blood flow, brain function, immune response and the like) just to oxidative metabolize them! This is one reason why so many people get tired after eating. Both physical and emotional stress robs the body of huge amount of much-needed oxygen. Any form of stress can cause oxygen deficiency. This researcher in the 1970’s, by altering the partial pressure of oxygen (quantity of oxygen per volume breathed), was able to induce a transient glucose intolerance (diabetes) in anesthetize humans and dogs. A residual hemoconcentration occurred and a greater intolerance to toxic or noxious substances was noted for periods of time up to six months. This should sound familiar in today’s world.

Researchers have now discovered that a chronically acidic system, which is practically a “given” for most people in today’s society, also causes the body to deplete its precious oxygen supplies. This often leads to a vicious cycle of toxin accumulation and oxygen depletion, which eventually results in serious illness and disease. This explains the explosion of diabetes diagnoses. Here’s why: One way in which the body combats excess acidity is by trying to neutralize it with oxygen. To do so, it must continually divert oxygen away from its primary metabolic functions and direct it to the acidic cells and acidic tissues throughout the body, instead. In essence, this depletes the body’s ability to dispose of excess wastes and toxins.

This results in a growing accumulation of poisons. The body then begins to oxidize them also by diverting even more oxygen from primary metabolic functions to the toxins accumulating throughout the body’s fluids, cells and tissues. This even further slows the body’s metabolism, resulting in a never-ending repetition of the above cycle. Finally, fatigue, chronic illness and disease take hold as the metabolism goes into a nosedive due to the “triple assault” of excess acidity, toxic overload and cellular oxygen starvation. With half the world running around complaining of chronic “acid stomach” it’s no wonder that doctors are finding so many patients to be severely oxygen-deficient.


Oxygen At The Cellular Level:
Optimal health begins at the cellular level. The reactions required to produce these astonishing cellular materials cause increases (improvements) when in the presence of, and reaction with, hydrogen. When more hydrogen is present, the surface tension of water (or any other liquid or solution) is reduced. When ingesting and absorbing any liquid with a reduced surface tension of the water molecule itself, the result is a reduction in the surface tension of our cellular walls. This allows a greater influx of oxygen, which disperses carbon dioxide trapped within the cells.

This is particularly true among those who have followed the pioneering research of Nobel Prize winning German biochemist, Dr. Otto Warburg. Dr. Warburg, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for his research into the cause of cancer, was convinced that cancer cells can only begin to proliferate in the human body when the cells become oxygen deficient. Furthermore, his research showed that cancer cells cannot proliferate at all when exposed to an oxygen-rich environment or induced enhanced partial pressure of oxygen.

Oxidation occurs at the cellular level of the body. It is part of that vital and complex process by which the body chemically converts nutrients into energy, and by which the body rids itself of toxins and other harmful materials. Without sufficiently high levels of oxygen oxidation cannot take place. And without oxidation, metabolic function – and therefore life itself – ceases.

Oxidation is the key to proper metabolic function, correct circulation, assimilation, digestion and elimination. It helps purify the blood, keeping it free from cellular waste build-up. Sufficient oxygen gives the body the ability to rebuild itself and strengthen its immune system, our natural defense against disease. It also has a calming and stabilizing effect on the function of the nervous system.
