Oxygenating
the body sufficiently is extremely helpful for everyoneÕs health. This article discusses oxygenation in
some detail and how to use it to improve oneÕs health.
Definitions. When one speaks of oxygen, it can mean
different things. Three common
forms are oxygen
gas, ozone gas and hydrogen peroxide liquid:
A. Oxygen gas is O2. It is
the most common form of oxygen found on earth. It is a stable molecule composed to two oxygen atoms. A problem with using it for healing is
that it is very yin, and this causes problems with its use.
B. Ozone gas is O3. It is a less stable form of oxygen. It is much more yang, and much better
for general use than oxygen for this reason. It is produced naturally during
electrical storms and gives the air a fresh, clean-smelling odor. It can also be
produced by machines by several methods:
1. The
machine moves air through a spark gap.
This is called the corona discharge
method. It works just like lightning does to produce ozone. This method is
commonly used, and does not produce as pure a product.
2. The
machine moves air over an ultra-violet bulb. This method is more cumbersome, so it is used less often.
3. More
costly medical ozone machines start with pure oxygen in a tank and then move
this over an ultra-violet bulb. This produces a more
pure ozone, but I donÕt believe it is needed, in most cases.
C. Hydrogen
Peroxide liquid. The chemical
formula is H202. A dilute form of
it (3% solution) is sold in drug stores and used as an
anti-septic to kill germs on the skin and elsewhere. A much more concentrated form (35%
solution) is sold via the internet for use in cleaning
and disinfecting homes, farms and elsewhere.
WARNINGS ABOUT OXYGEN
1.Pure oxygen is quite yin, in
macrobiotic terminology. For this
reason, we donÕt recommend using pure oxygen. Ozone is less yin than pure oxygen.
2. Exposure to pure oxygen often causes
a type of euphoria or ÒhighÓ.
This is easily mistaken for better health, and easily
becomes addictive. However,
it is not better health, but rather is a yin high, not unlike that which occurs
due to some drugs and alcohol.
Please beware.
3. Pure oxygen will sustain a flame. One must be
careful with it around open flames, cigarettes, gas stoves, etc. This is another reason we donÕt
recommend it. Ozone is less flammable.
4. Other. Breathing pure oxygen can inhibit normal
respiration. This is only a
problem in hospitals, for example, where patients are put
on pure oxygen, at times, when they are unable to breathe normally.
Breathing
too much ozone may be a little irritating to the lungs. This is usually because it causes some
retracing of chronic respiratory infections that most people have. This problem goes away after a while if one follows a
development program.
35% hydrogen
peroxide is very corrosive and dangerous to handle. This is discussed later in this
article.
MODERN INSANITIES
Greenhouse gas concerns. All plant life on earth requires carbon
dioxide to ÒbreatheÓ. We must have plenty of carbon dioxide gas on
earth to preserve all plant life on planet earth.
The recent
obsession with carbon dioxide as a Òdangerous greenhouse gasÓ is scientifically
unsound and quite insane. Any
attempt to reduce it is futile, first of all, and
secondly, there is no reason to reduce it as long as the earth can support
plant life adequately, which it is doing just fine.
Most plant
life, by the way, is in the oceans, not the land. It consists of plankton, algae, seaweeds that grow up to 6
feet each day, and other marine plant life. This life is not threatened by
mankind at all, and is growing very well, as is life on land.
Ozone
danger. Another insane
concern is the Òdanger of ozoneÓ.
Ozone in high concentration is somewhat irritating to the lungs. Often, however, we find that ozone
simply causes retracing of lung problems that many people have. It is not a ÒpoisonÓ as the leaders of
the state of California believe.
Ozone often
increases in polluted areas such as Los Angeles and Phoenix. However, this is actually a
compensatory method of nature to help clean up the filthy air in these
cities. It is not just another pollutant.
II. THE ROLE OF OXYGEN IN
OUR BODIES
Oxygen is absolutely essential for animal life. Animal bodies use oxygen in each body
cell to produce ATP or adenosine triphosphate. This, in turn, is
used for all bodily functions from digestion and elimination to thinking
and movement. This is the
essential role of oxygen in the body.
If one
becomes low in oxygen, which is very common today, one becomes tired and
cellular energy production decreases.
This causes the body to become ill. The most important disease associated with oxgen starvation is cancer.
Entire
textbooks are written about the benefits of oxygen and oxygen therapies for
many health conditions such as cancer, infections, strokes, cardiac
rehabilitation, burns, and much more.
CAUSES FOR LOW OXYGEN IN OUR BODIES
The main
causes are:
1. Planet earth is a little low in
oxygen. This will be debated
by some, but many doctors believe that all human beings could use more
oxygen than the planet provides.
This has nothing to do with global warming or driving cars. It is simply the way
the planetÕs ecosystem works at this time.
2. The air in cities and other polluted
environments often contains less oxygen. This is due to 1) oxygen-burning cars, factories and even
human beings, and 2) fewer trees and other plant life if the area is mainly
paved over and covered with buildings, as in most cities.
This, by the
way, is may be reason why crime, drug addiction and disease are often more
common in cities. They are just
not as healthful places, as a general rule, due in
part to lower oxygen levels.
3. Habits of
shallow breathing and/or holding oneÕs breath. These are
very common habits among millions of people around the world. Stress, fear, anxiety, and worry cause
not only shallow breathing, but a habit of literally not breathing as much, or
holding the breath.
In
particular, young women often breathe very poorly. Reasons for this include:
A. The use of high-heeled shoes,
tight belts and even some bras can interfere with deep breathing. Also, tight
pants and other tight clothing may restrict breathing. Always wear loose clothing that allows
you to breathe deeply and freely.
B. Some do not want their stomach
to move in and out when they breathe, so they breathe only with the upper part
of the lungs, which is not sufficient.
Always breathe with the belly, as babies usually do.
C. Some women do not want to
stick out their chest when they breathe, which also contributes to shallow
breathing.
D. Fear, which is present in most
women, restricts breathing.
4. A
sedentary lifestyle. Those with the
worst breathing habits are often those people who do not do any exercise. Exercise helps greatly to bring more
oxygen to the body cells.
Exercise
need not be exhausting. Only mild
and gentle exercise are recommended with a nutritional
balancing program. The reason is
that vigorous exercise uses up too much energy that is better
used for healing. Also, many people are so exhausted that vigorous exercise
further tires them out and can be dangerous, in some cases. We only recommend walking and other
gentle exercise.
5. Poor posture. The habit of stooping over and
rounding the shoulders too much squeezes the chest and prevents the chest from
filling with air when you breathe in.
This is a prominent cause of poor breathing, or shallow breathing in
some people.
Reasons for
bad posture include:
- Physical weakness
due to nutritional imbalances.
- Copper imbalance
that can cause scoliosis and kyphosis.
- Not wanting to
appear too tall.
- Bad sitting or
driving habits.
- Trauma, especially
sexual trauma.
- In women, hiding
larger breasts by rounding the shoulders.
- Accidents and
injuries.
6. Working
in lower oxygen environments.
These may include closed office buildings with no windows that open,
breathing recycled air in theatres, concert halls, or anywhere, or working
around machinery that uses up oxygen such as furnaces, gas stoves and others.
Many people
work in stuffy offices, for example, and do not understand why they feel so
tired and even dizzy or ill at the end of the day. Buildings should have windows that open wide to allow plenty
of fresh air into the building.
However, this is not the way most buildings are built
today in an effort to reduce heating and cooling costs, sadly.
7. Lung and
bronchial problems.
These are very common, and often reduce a personÕs lung capacity. Chronic bronchitis, too much mucus due
to food sensitivities, asthma, bronchiectasis, COPD, bacterial, viral, parasitic and fungal infections in
the lungs, and many other mild to severe conditions affect the lungs and
bronchial tubes in millions of people.
These are caused to some degree by pollution,
but not all, by any means.
8. Anemia. Anemia means that the red blood cells
that carry oxygen to the tissues are either deficient in number, or are damaged
in some way. While many do not
realize it, mild anemia is quite common, especially among young adult
menstruating women, vegetarians, and those with chronic illnesses.
A major cause of anemia today is copper
toxicity. Few doctors are aware of this cause, so
they give millions of young women and vegetarians iron when the problem is a
copper imbalance. Other causes are
lead toxicity, vitamin deficiencies (B12, B6, etc.), and other nutritional
imbalances.
Most people
with anemia are not even aware of being anemic. However, their bodies do not transport enough oxygen to the
cells, and this contributes to fatigue and much poorer overall health. For more on anemias,
read Anemia on this website.
9. Other
illnesses. Any illness that impairs circulation,
hydration or respiration such as muscle weakness, arteriosclerosis, ReynaudÕs
syndrome, dehydration from any cause, sympathetic
dominance, and others can reduce oxygenation of the body.
Other blood
diseases besides anemia may also affect oxygen transport throughout the
body. Adrenal exhaustion can cause
poorer breathing habits. Older
people often do not breathe well due to fatigue, poor posture, osteoporosis affecting the spine and posture, and perhaps other
reasons.
10. Smoking. Smoking
damages the lungs, often severely, and leads to much worse oxygenation.
11. Other
causes. These may
include impaired hydration, impaired circulation for any reason, and even just
allowing the body to become too cold.
This impairs circulation and breathing, and thus reduces oxygenation.
OXYGENATION RELATED TO CIRCULATION AND
HYDRATION
An important
principle of oxygenation is that the oxygen must not only be taken in, but
needs to be carried around the body adequately. This requires excellent blood
circulation. To increase
circulation, some exercise is helpful, rebounding is helpful, and deep
breathing increases circulation a little.
The use of any sauna on a daily basis, or at least a few times weekly,
is also very helpful for circulation.
Excellent
oxygenation of the tissues also requires adequate hydration of the body. Most people do not drink enough
water. We recommend 3 quarts of
only spring water or carbon-filtered tap water if spring water is unavailable or
too costly. Go to
www.findaspring.com and you may be able to find a local spring to obtain spring
water free of charge.
Please avoid all reverse osmosis water, as it does
not seem to hydrate the body as well.
In the supermarket, this is often called drinking water or
purified water. I would also
avoid alkaline water and other designer waters.
Please also avoid all alkaline water. It is much too yin and may have other
toxic problems. For more on this
topic, read Water For Drinking
on this website.
SAFE AND SIMPLE WAYS TO ENHANCE YOUR OXYGEN
INTAKE
1. Breathe deeply each day. This is an important lifestyle factor
in nutritional balancing science.
It applies especially to young women, although many older people do not
breathe well due to lung conditions, weakness, frailty and perhaps lack of
exercise.
To breathe better, improve your posture, exercise daily, follow
a nutritional balancing program, and do the following breathing exercise:
á
Begin by moving your belly outward as you breathe. This will fill the abdomen with
air. If you are not sure you are
doing this correctly, lie down and place a book on your abdomen. When you breathe in, the book should
rise up, and when you breathe out, the book should move downward.
á
Next breathe
into the sides of your lower chest, pushing the sides of your ribs
outward. This will fill the
mid-chest with air.
á
Finally, lift
up the upper chest and the pectoral area, which will fill the upper chest with
air.
á
When you
exhale, you can start again in the abdomen, pushing it in. Then
push in the sides of your ribs, and finally push down the pectoral or upper
chest area. This is sometimes called the three-part breath.
If you
practice this for 15 minutes a day, it will soon become a habit and your
overall breathing will improve dramatically. There is no substitute for deep breathing, so please begin
to do this exercise and learn to do it all or most of the time.
Breathe in through your nose, if at all possible.
This will help humidify the air, prevent your mouth from drying out, and
might improve your oxygen intake as well.
2. Live and
work in an oxygen-rich environment.
This
means to always have a window open a little for fresh air, try to avoid stuffy
offices and unhealthful air, and if possible live in the country or at least
have lots of green plants around you, as these make
oxygen continuously.
3. Use an ozonator/ionizer
machine in your bedroom or home and, if possible, at work. These rather unique air
purifiers produce safe amounts of ozone, and have other benefits as well. When using this machine in your
bedroom, keep the ozone control down to halfway or less. The machine converts some oxygen in the
ambient air to ozone or O3. Then,
provided there is a little ventilation such as an air duct nearby, the room air
absorbs a little more oxygen from the surrounding outside air.
So the machine
essentially draws a little more oxygen into the house or bedroom. When you breathe in the mixture of room
air and extra ozone, the ozone is quickly converted to
oxygen in the lungs, increasing the oxygenation of the entire body.
Some people
fear that ozone is irritating to the lungs. Rarely someone reports sensitivity to ozone, or does not
like the odor, which smells like a forest. If the ozone bothers you, just turn down the amount of ozone
the machine produces. For much
more information about the use of an ozonator/ionizer
machine in your home, and where to get one, click here.
4. Drink oxygenated water. This is not hard to do. A machine called The Pitcher oxygenates water for
drinking. It just bubbles air
through water.
Using an
ozone machine. You could also
use an ozone machine to add ozone to drinking water. In theory, any ozone generator could be
used. Just put the output
tube into a pitcher of water and allow it to bubble through for 15 to 20
minutes before drinking the water.
An unusual
benefit of drinking oxygenated or ozonated water is
that it enhances the ability of drinking water to hydrate the body. This is an excellent benefit.
For example,
some of our clients notice that they do not need to urinate as much when they
drink oxygenated water, and some people do not need to get up as much at night
or during the day to urinate. This
can also help relive leg cramps for some people.
5. Use the oxygen therapies listed
below.
III. THERAPEUTIC USE OF
OXYGEN
Oxygen
therapies (the use of oxygen, ozone, hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet blood
irradiation), have been researched for years. They are quite safe, simple,
inexpensive and effective to help stop cancers and many other diseases.
Oxygen
therapies are rarely offered by conventional doctors because
they do not involve drugs, so they do not enrich the coffers of the drug
companies. However, they are much
better than drugs in most cases.
As mentioned above, however, one can overdo on them, so use them wisely.
I will
divide the oxygen therapies into those one can do at home on oneÕs own, and
those that require a doctorÕs supervision.
Home-based
oxygen therapies:
A. Ozone
therapy. Ozone therapy
is one of the best ways to increase oxygen in the body because ozone is fairly
yang, and quite effective. Ways to
use it are:
1. One can breathe some ozone by
buying an ozonator/ionizer air purifier.
2. One can drink ozonated water by buying a simple ozone generator and
putting the ozone output tube into a glass or pitcher of water for 20 minutes to
add ozone to drinking water.
3. One can use ozone
rectally. For this, one needs an
ozone generator and a thin tube or canula that is introduced into the rectum. Do this for only 3 minutes or less, and only 2-3 times per
week, and not more.
4. One can also add ozone to a
bath, or sit in an ozonated steam cabinet or sauna
enclosure.
5. Ozone can
also be applied topically.
One can buy ozonated olive oil. It is okay, but not as powerful as
drinking ozonated water or using ozone rectally.
6. Ozone can be
used vaginally, and applied to the ears and other parts of the body.
Many
companies sell ozone generators of various descriptions. The least costly are often those made
to ozonate a hot tub, and cost about $125.00 US
dollars.
B. Hydrogen
peroxide therapy.
The vaginal peroxide stuff. For details, read The
Vagina.
Peroxide baths. One can take a bath to which you have
added 1 to 4 cups of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide to the bath water.
Bath water
is yin, so do not do more than two baths per
week. One can also absorb toxic
chemicals during baths that are found in almost all
water supplies today, even the cleanest water. Therefore, peroxide baths are not
recommended as much as using an ozonator/ionizer
machine.
However, if
one wishes to increase oxygenation quickly, one could do a series of peroxide
baths. These are also excellent to
get rid of STDs. For much more on
this bath, please read Baths on this website.
WARNING. Some people put between one and 20 drops of hydrogen peroxide in a glass of water
and drink it. We do not recommend
this procedure. It is quite
irritating!
Also never use peroxide in an enema.
Other.
1. Deep
breathing. This is the
oldest and one of the best ways to increase oxygen in the body. For details, read Breathing.
2. Aeration. One can obtain more oxygen by drinking
water that has been aerated. This will add oxygen (not ozone) to your body.
The
procedure is to buy a simple air pump
from a pet supply store or website.
They are used to aerate fish tanks.
Place the air tube in the bottom of a pitcher of
drinking water for at least 15 minutes and it will increase the air (which
includes the oxygen) a lot in the water.
It will work better if there is a bubbler on the end of the air
tube. This is usually a small rock
with lots of holes in it that distributes the air. These are also sold by pet stores.
If you prefer, you can buy a machine called The Pitcherª
that is just an air pump and a pitcher.
It is a little costly, but it works very well.
DoctorÕs office procedures using oxygen:
1. Intravenous
hydrogen peroxide or intravenous ozone. When done correctly, these are very helpful for cancer,
especially.
2.
Hyperbaric oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen means oxygen under pressure that is greater than usual atmospheric
pressure. One sits in either a
metallic or inflatable chamber during the therapy. The operator pumps oxygen into the chamber at several times
atmospheric pressure, which forces more oxygen into the body through the lungs
and skin.
One must
climb into an oxygen chamber to experience this therapy. It is available at some hospitals and
burn centers to promote wound healing, post-operatively, stroke rehabilitation,
and for other reasons. It can help
with these conditions. However,
oxygen therapy is yin, so this is a disadvantage. In general, ozone therapy is better.
3. EWOT or exercise with oxygen therapy. This is a very simple
therapy that a few holistic doctors offer. The patient sits on a stationary bicycle and pedals, or
walks or runs on a treadmill while breathing pure oxygen through the nose. This can greatly increase oxygenation
inexpensively and safely. Once again,
however, pure oxygen is quite yin, which is a disadvantage, especially for
long-term use.
4. Ultraviolet blood irradiation
increases oxygen somewhat. This
is an amazing therapy that a few holistic doctors offer for infections and
cancer, in most cases.
A small quantity of blood is extracted from a vein,
and then irradiated with ultraviolet light. Then it is returned to the
patientÕs body.
This can
help with some infections and other conditions, and is much safer than drug
therapy.
WARNINGS REGARDING 35%
FOOD GRADE PEROXIDE:
¯ Keep it cool.
Exposure to heat or direct sunlight will build up pressure in the bottle
and may cause the contents to explode.
¯ Undiluted
35% peroxide will cause a temporary burn on the skin.
¯
Do not allow it
to touch mucus membranes or your eyes.
Preferably wear gloves when handling it.
¯
If peroxide
gets on your skin or in eyes, flush with large quantities of water immediately.
¯ DO NOT use straight 35% peroxide solution in or on the body.
¯
DO NOT
INGEST. As mentioned above, some
people recommend drinking a few drops in a glass of water. I do not think this is safe.
¯ Be careful of your clothing, furniture and
everything else, as 35% peroxide will bleach and put holes in everything.
OTHER USES FOR 35% FOOD GRADE PEROXIDE
Hydrogen peroxide has many other uses, most related
to killing of germs of all kinds.
They include:
1) Food Uses:
a)
Add a capful of 35% H2O2 to a bowl of water and soak fruits or vegetables for
10 minutes in solution to kill mold and bacteria.
b)
Upon opening a container of milk or cream, add ½ tsp and shake
thoroughly. This can extend the
expiration date of the milk up to 1 month.
2. Cleaning
Uses:
a) Add 1 oz per load to the washing machine on a cold
cycle only for bacteria-free laundry.
b) Spray on dishes, glasses and silverware for a
cleaner appearance.
c) Spray a little in the refrigerator to safely
clean up mold and odors.
d) Spray a little in the bathroom to clean up mold
and odors in sinks, toilets, tubs, showers and elsewhere.
e) Spray a little on floors to kill odors, bacteria
and mold.
3) Household
Uses:
a) Spray 3% solution on indoor and outdoor plants
to kill some bacteria and molds.
b) Use a 10% solution to kill weeds.
c) Use in pools, ponds and hot tubs to sanitize
them without the use of chlorine, bromine or other harsh chemicals. Instructions are on the internet as to how much is needed.
d) 35% peroxide will clean up some food stains in
pots and sinks very nicely.
e) Pour a little 35% peroxide down sinks to clear
them of blockages caused by a buildup of hair, soap and other things.
4) Personal Use
a) As a deodorant, I am told
that an excellent method is to put some 3% peroxide in a spray bottle and spray
it under the arms, letting it dry on the skin. Spray again during the day, if needed. This may be just as good as much more
fancy, expensive deodorants sold in stores.
b) For brushing teeth, dip your toothbrush in a
little peroxide. Then brush
normally. This will whiten the teeth
a little, kill all germs in the mouth, teeth and gums and leave your mouth very
fresh. Do not be alarmed if the
peroxide foams up and is a little irritating to the gums. This is normal. Peroxide can irritate the gums in some
people, so use care.
c) Soaking toothbrushes and other personal care
products in peroxide will kill bacteria, viruses and other pathogens to avoid
spreading illnesses.
d) Spray a little on cuts, bruises scrapes, burns
and bites. This will prevent
infection and clean the wound harmlessly.
It will sting a little, but this is normal.
e) For pets: place one ounce of 3% solution in pet
water dishes and baths to kill bacteria and keep water fresher.
5) When
Traveling:
a) Mix several drops in all drinking water to kill
bacteria.
b) It is a simple and safe remedy to bring when
traveling for cuts, bruises, bites, scrapes, while
camping or anywhere.
OXYGEN
CONCENTRATORS
In the past, if one wished to breathe more oxygen,
one had to buy bottles of purified oxygen. This is not only costly, but
inconvenient, as the bottles are large and heavy. A more recent method of obtaining more oxygen, in addition
to ozone generators and hydrogen peroxide, two substances that break down to
release some oxygen, is the use of oxygen concentrators.
These are machines that plug into the wall and are
able to extract some oxygen from the room air and pump it through a small tube,
which can be placed in a personÕs nose, for
example. These are
used in hospitals, nursing homes, and other locations where oxygen is
needed and oxygen bottles are cumbersome to use.
CONCLUSION
Bio-oxidative
medicine is a holistic area of
medical care that is growing because it is simple, inexpensive in most cases,
and quite effective. It will
certainly grow in the future for cancer therapy, especially.
I hope everyone will focus on breathing more
deeply, improving their lung function, circulation and hydration, avoiding
smoking anything, and perhaps adding an ozonator/ionizer
air purifier to the home to easily increase oxygen in the body. The use of ozone and other types of
oxygen is also excellent for healing most conditions.
