WHY DO WE NEED MORE OXYGEN?

Oxygen sustains life. It is the key element in the cellular production of energy. Every bodily function is dependant on oxygen, including the activity of the brain, which controls the rest of the body. Each cell needs adequate oxygenation to do its job. However, today there is insufficient oxygen in our atmosphere to provide all that is necessary for the body to accomplish all it needs oxygen to do.

In ancient times, the oxygen content of our air was about 38%, with the carbon dioxide level at about 1%. By now, oxygen is down to about 20% and carbon dioxide is up to as much as 20%. This dramatic change, mostly in the last 200 years, may be the result of the cutting of forests, the depletion of the mineral value of the soil and erosion (reduced green plants), the burning of fuels, and atmospheric pollution.

The situation is at its worst in our polluted cities, where the oxygen level can be below 15%. Further, carbon monoxide gas from the burning of fossil fuels saturates red blood cells so they cannot carry oxygen. The current attention on carbon monoxide levels in homes (from natural gas furnaces and appliances), and air recirculation problems in sealed workspaces and public places raises the awareness of the need for more oxygen than normal.

Thus it is essential that we take in supplemental oxygen to get enough for the body's metabolism to work correctly.

Oxidation is the name for the process of a substance combining with oxygen. At the cell level, nutrients come together in the presence of oxygen to fuel the "spark" of energy, similar to the way oxygen stimulates a fire. Oxygen electrons transfer, changing the fuel into energy.

In the body, this is the energy needed to digest food, circulate blood, deliver nutrients, eliminate toxins, perform organ functions, move around, think thoughts, and conduct all other activities.

Oxygen cleans and detoxifies the blood and tissues; it burns off cellular waste. It is essential in combating invading microorganisms. Oxygen soothes inflammation and pain. The presence of oxygen helps tissues heal. It also helps us deal with stress better, calming the nerves.

Without enough oxygen, tissues accumulate toxins from metabolic waste. There could also be a chronic low-grade infection by viruses, bacteria, candida yeast and/or larger parasites. Any of these give off toxins as well.

Cancer develops from a long-standing lack of oxygen to tissues. Eventually the body attempts to wall off toxins to keep them from spreading. It forms a tumor as sort of a "trash bag". The oxygen-starved cells in and around this growth may go haywire and reproduce themselves excessively in their death throes.

The level of oxygen can make the difference between health and illness. Insufficient oxygen is the cause of everything from headaches to heart disease, from allergies to cancer, from tiredness to death.

Of the the three essential factors that must be taken into the body to support its life and energy, namely oxygen, water and nutrients, oxygen is the most crucial. You can live for several weeks without the intake of food, for several days without taking in water, but only several minutes without oxygen intake. The fact is that most people are deficient in all three of these needed factors.

Most of us do not drink enough pure water. Coffee, tea, milk, juices, soda pop and other liquids do not count, and may increase the need for water!. (NOTE: Since no one should consume their raw tap water due to chemicals and other contaminants, a high-quality home water purifier is recommended. (Visit WaterUS.com)

As for nutrients, the food supply is grossly deficient in enzymes, minerals and other important "phytonutrients" (health-benefitting plant compounds), because the agricultural soils have been depleted of plant-supporting materials and life forms beneficial to the plants. The need for high quality supplementation of important nutrients, including antioxidants, is widely recognized.

Less well-known but of greater concern is that your body likely has an oxygen deficiency! How do we know this? Our environment has as much as 1/3 less oxygen than it had in ancient times, most of which is attributable to pollution and forest destruction by humans over the last several hundred years.

The oxygen in our atmosphere has decreased over the eons from over 30% of total gases in primordial times to 20% or less today. In just the 225 years since our nation began, it is estimated we have lost 11% of our global oxygen. It is especially low in our cities where there are many toxic air pollutants.

Further, carbon monoxide gas from the burning of fossil fuels saturates red blood cells so they cannot carry oxygen. Concern about carbon monoxide levels in homes (from natural gas furnaces and appliances), and air recirculation problems in sealed workspaces and public places, raises the awareness of the need for more oxygen than normal.

Much pain and most of the degenerative diseases are caused by or worsened by a lack of oxygen and high toxicity in tissues. Every cell needs oxygen to burn its fuel for energy and to purify. Also, oxygen destroys harmful bacteria, viruses & other invaders.

MORE ABOUT HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
When it comes to hydrogen peroxide therapy there are two main points of view. Supporters consider it to be one of the greatest healing miracles of all times. Those who opposed feel its ingestion is dangerous, and only the foolhardy could think of engaging in such behavior.

Before either condemning or endorsing hydrogen peroxide, let's take a close look.

Hydrogen peroxide is one interesting substance! Hydrogen peroxide should really be called hydrogen dioxide. Its chemical formula is H₂O₂. it contains one more atom of oxygen than water (H₂O).

By now everyone is aware of the ozone layer that surrounds the Earth. Ozone consists of three atoms of oxygen (O₃). This protective layer of ozone is created when ultraviolet light from the sun splits an atmospheric oxygen molecule (O₂) into two single, unstable oxygen atoms. These single molecules combine with others to form ozone (O₃). Ozone is not stable. In fact, it will quickly give up that extra store of oxygen to falling rainwater to form hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂).

(Bear with me now, as all this chemistry mumbo jumbo will help you understand the importance of hydrogen peroxide.)

It is the hydrogen peroxide in rainwater that makes it so much more effective than tap water when given to plants. With the increased levels of atmospheric pollution, however, greater amounts of H₂O₂ react with air-borne toxins and never reach the ground.

To compensate for this, many farmers have been increasing crop yields by spraying them with diluted hydrogen peroxide (5 to 16 oz of 35% mixed with 20 gal. of water per acre).

You can achieve the same beneficial effect with your house plants by adding one ounce of 3% hydrogen peroxide (or 16 drops of 35% solution) to every quart of water you give your plants. (It can also be made into an excellent safe insecticide. Simply spray your plants with 8 ounces of 3% peroxide mixed with 8 ounces of white sugar and one gallon of water.)

Hydrogen peroxide is odorless and colorless, but not tasteless. When stored under the proper conditions it is a very stable compound. When kept in the absence of light and contaminants it dissimulates, or breaks down, very slowly - at the rate of about 10% a year. (This can be slowed even further by storing the liquid in the freezer.) It boils at 152 degrees Celsius and freezes at minus 2 degrees Celsius.

The closer you look at hydrogen peroxide, the less surprising it becomes that it can help such a wide variety of conditions.

When exposed to other compounds hydrogen peroxide decomposes readily into oxygen and water. In nature, oxygen (O₂) consists of two atoms, and is thereby a very stable combination. A single atom of oxygen, however, is very reactive and is referred to as a free radical.

Yet we often read that these free radicals are responsible for all types of ailments, and even premature aging. What many writers seem to forget, however, is that our bodies create and use free radicals to destroy harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

In fact, the cells responsible for fighting infection and foreign invaders in the body (your white blood cells) make hydrogen peroxide and use it to oxidize any offending culprits. The intense bubbling you see when hydrogen peroxide comes in contact with a bacteria-laden cut or wound is oxygen being released and bacteria being destroyed.

The ability of our cells to produce hydrogen peroxide is essential for life. H₂O₂ is not some undesirable by-product or toxin, but a basic requirement for good health.

Newer research indicates we need hydrogen peroxide for a multitude of other chemical reactions that take place throughout the body. For example, we now know that vitamin C helps fight infections by producing hydrogen peroxide, which in turn stimulates the production of prostaglandins.

Also lactobacillus, found in the colon and vagina, produce hydrogen peroxide. This destroys harmful bacteria and viruses, preventing colon disease, vaginitis, bladder infections, and a host of common ailments. (Infect Dis News Aug. 8,91:5)

When lactobacillus in the colon or vaginal tract have been overrun with harmful viruses, yeast or bacteria, an effective douche or enema solution can be made using 3 tablespoons of 3% H₂O₂ in 1 quart of distilled water. Keep in mind, however, that a good bacterial flora must always be re-established in those areas for lasting good health.

Also regarding enemas and douches, there is another misconception about H₂O₂. The friendly bacteria in the colon and vagina are aerobic. In other words, they flourish in an oxygen rich environment, including when H₂O₂ is present.

On the other hand, most strains of harmful bacteria (and cancer cells) are anaerobic and cannot survive in the presence of oxygen or H₂O₂.

Hydrogen peroxide produced within individual body cells is essential for life. No one doubts its effectiveness when it comes to treating infections topically. The controversy deals with ingesting the substance orally, or introducing it into the body intravenously. The dispute has been going on for decades (and considering the attitude of our medical community, it will continue for many more decades).

Many are skeptical when they learn about using H₂O₂ orally or intravenously. This healthy dose of skepticism has led to a great deal of investigation, clinical work, and experimentation. Some readers will probably never be convinced that H₂O₂ is a safe and effective compound, Yet hydrogen peroxide is safe, readily available and dirt cheap. And best of all, it works!

No one fully understands the complete workings of hydrogen peroxide.
We do know that it is loaded with oxygen.

A pint of the food-grade 35% solution contains the equivalent of 130 pints of oxygen. A pint of 3% hydrogen peroxide found at the local drugstore contains 10 pints of oxygen. And a pint of the 6% solution used to bleach hair contains 20 pints of oxygen.

We also know that when H₂O₂ is taken into the body (orally or intravenously), the oxygen content of the blood and body tissues increases dramatically. Early researchers felt these increases were simply due to the extra oxygen molecule being released. This does not appear to be the case.

Only very diluted amounts of H₂O₂ are ever introduced into the body. The small amount of oxygen present could not be solely responsible for the dramatic changes that take place. Dr. Charles Farr, a strong proponent of intravenous use, has discovered another possible answer.

Dr. Farr has shown that hydrogen peroxide stimulates enzyme systems throughout the body. This triggers an increase in the metabolic rate, causes small arteries to dilate and increase blood flow, enhances the body's distribution and consumption of oxygen, and raises body temperature.

(Proceedings of the Internationals Conference on Bio-Oxidative Medicine 1989, 1990, 1991)

We are just beginning to learn how H₂O₂ works.

H₂O₂ was reported to be effective as far back as 1920. Later, The Lancet, an English Medical Journal, reported that intravenous infusion was used successfully to treat pneumonia in the epidemic following World War I.

In the 1940s, Father Richard Wilhelm, the pioneer in promoting peroxide use, reported on the compound being used extensively to treat everything from bacterial-related mental illness to skin disease and polio. (Father Wilhelm is the found of Educational Concern for Hydrogen Peroxide, ECHO, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public on the safe use and therapeutic benefits of hydrogen peroxide.)

Much of the interest in hydrogen peroxide waned in the 1940s when prescription medications came on the scene. Since then, there has been little economic interest in funding peroxide research. After all, it is dirt cheap and non-patentable.

Even still, in the last 25 years, over 7,700 articles relating to hydrogen peroxide have been written in Medical Journals. Thousands more articles, illuminating its therapeutic use, have appeared in alternative health publications.

While the number of conditions helped by hydrogen peroxide are astounding, the reported dangers and side effects are few and such reports are often conflicting.

Let's look at several conditions that seem to respond especially well to H₂O₂ therapy. First, keep in minds that there are two methods of administering the peroxide, orally and intravenously. While most conditions respond remarkably to oral ingestion, emphysema is one condition in which intravenous infusion can be a godsend.

It is obvious that our oxygen needs are not being met. Several of the most common ailments now affecting our population are directly related to oxygen starvation:

Asthma, emphysema and lung disease are on the rise, especially in the polluted metropolitan areas. Cases of constipation, diarrhea, intestinal parasites and bowel cancer are all on the upswing. Periodontal disease is endemic in the adult population of this country. Cancer of all forms continues to increase. Immune system disorders are sweeping the globe. Chronic fatigue (the so-called "Yuppie Flu") and hundreds of other strange viral diseases have begun to surface.

Ironically, many of the new "miracles" drugs and nutritional supplements used to treat these conditions work by increasing cellular oxygen (oftentimes through H₂O₂ formation).

For example, the miracle nutrient Coenzyme Q10 helps regulate intercellular oxidation. This received considerable publicity not too long ago. CoQ10 also increases oxygen levels at the cellular level. Even substances like niacin and vitamin E promote tissue oxidation through the dilation of blood vessels.

Hydrogen peroxide is only one of the many agents that help improve the amount of oxygen getting to your cells.
