The Breath Of Life - Oxygen & Ozone

The Breath Of Life

Hold your breath. See how long your body can survive. Five minutes before you pass out? Only ten or twenty minutes before you'd suffer brain damage. Some scientists suggest and believe that at one time our atmosphere had a much richer ratio of oxygen to nitrogen than it does now. Perhaps by as much as 30 or 40 percent compared to today where the average oxygen content is somewhere around 20 percent, and it's even worse in large, smog-choked cities.

Being aerobic creatures (that is, ones that thrive in oxygen), all of our normal, healthy cells need this element for hundreds of functions in order to keep us alive. Down at the very orthomolecular level, it is the basic fuel that makes us go. For those of you who understand how a car's engine works, oxygen can be seen in a similar role as it does in our bodies. Except that inside our bodies are billions upon billions of little engines called cells. In a car's engine, fuel from the tank, mixes with oxygen in the carborator, is fed into the cylinders and ignited, creating a burst of energy. In our bodies, oxygen mixes with nutrients as they enter the cells the way oxygen and fuel are mixed in the carborator, giving them life.

If you were to suffocate an engine, there would be no way to ignite a reaction. The engine would die. The same thing happens when oxygen is restricted from our myriad of little engines. Our cells are no longer able to function the way they were intended to. But unlike a car engine which merely stops working, our bodies are considerably smarter. In an effort to preserve themselves, with a lack of oxygen to the cells, they will often exchange their aerobic nature for a more primative one and become anaerobic, burning sugar for fuel instead of oxygen. Based on the work by Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg, this has been proven to be the case. We have a term we use to describe this condition. It's called cancer.

We've come to see cancer as some outside invader of our bodies that we need to protect ourselves against, when it's really nothing more than our own bodies trying to survive in a lack of sufficient oxygen at the cellular level. So what can we do to prevent this condition, or even reverse it?

Based on what I've just described, a five-year-old could probably tell you the answer. It doesn't take billions of dollars of research to know that the way to prevent and reverse cancer is to get enough oxygen to our cells. If you didn't get this the first time I said it: this is based on Nobel Prize research that took place over 70 years ago. In a lab, Otto Warburg found that when you restrict oxygen to healthy cells, they become cancerous. When you then reapply oxygen, the compromised cells die. Without radiation. Without chemo. Oxygen. The fuel our bodies were designed to burn.

So why haven't we heard this before? Actually, we have. Many, many years ago. But let's see you try and patent oxygen. The stuff seems to be everywhere. And cheap, too!!!

Obviously there's an issue of how we get this miracle "product" to the cells that really need it. That's the subject of this section of the website. But before we begin, let me introduce to you Oxygen's younger, more radical brother, Ozone. Where Oxygen is the older, more even keel fellow who goes about his business as a responsible first born would, Ozone is wild and crazy, the life of the party and gets things done in record time while big brother methodically plugs along. And because I'm personally acquainted with the lad, I can wholeheartedly say that once you get to know him, you're going to LOVE Ozone.

You see, back to our car engine analogy, there's this little thing called a turbocharger. Everyone has heard of it, but you may or may not know how it works. Basically, it is a way to force-feed more oxygen into the cylinders, creating more combustion, more energy. Every analogy breaks down at some point, but generally, ozone is to our bodies what a turbocharger is to a car. Have you ever ridden in a turbocharged car? They're a lot of fun, aren't they?

Buckle up! You're about to take a ride with Ozone, Oxygen's younger, more energetic brother. And who knows, we might even ask Oxygen's sister, Peroxide, to come along as well.
