Oxygen is so basic to our everyday life that it is taken for granted. The medical community is finally beginning to rediscover how important oxygen is to our bodily functions. Research has indicated a link between oxygen and most diseases of the human body. The body uses oxygen to rid itself of toxins, including allergic substances. Since anaerobic bacteria, fungi and viruses cannot live in an oxygen rich environment, high blood-oxygen levels are our best defense against infectious illness.

When blood-oxygen content is low, the body is slowed, weakened and easily fatigued. The immune system lies prey to infections, accelerated aging and over time, disease. Poor health or stress is reflected in the skin. Proper skin care requires a health body, proper diet, exercise and supplemental oxygen. Oxygen is not like drugs. Once oxygen is inhaled, even from a tank source, it does not accumulate for later use. It is metabolized immediately. The fact that oxygen is not stored by the body is why folks die quickly when their supply is terminated. All available oxygen at that point is completely exhausted in about 4 minutes.

Football players who come of the field for a few whiffs of oxygen on the sidelines are not really benefited in any physiologic sense; by the time they get back to the game, the oxygen they have inhaled has been completely used up.

Oxygen is a key component in fighting infections. It may help to understand if one remembers how hydrogen peroxide= H2O2, is used to clean a wound. When poured on an open wound hydrogen peroxide immediately foams up. Why? The hydrogen molecule is not the most stable, since it is an unbalanced form of water H2O. The second oxygen molecule can be easily released. When this occurs in the presence of bacteria, it literally ‘burns’ up the bacteria in a form of chemical fire. The white cells of the body utilize this reaction. As white blood cells flow, circulate and encounter bacteria or other foreign matter, the engulf them like a form of digestion. Once the bacteria is encapsulated within the white blood cell, it is bathed in superoxidase compounds and destroyed or burned up with cold fire. Without this, the white cells, though effectively attacking the bacterial agents, are not able to break down and destroy the bacterial. But where doe the white blood cell get the components to make the superoxidase compounds? Red blood cells carry the oxygen to fuel the body’s cells. If a passing white blood cell needs oxygen, a major component of a superoxidase compound, it is able to pull such from a passing red blood cell. This is a very efficient method. However, if there is s severe anemia or low blood-oxygen level (which usually is the case) , then there is not enough oxygen for the white blood cells to extract in order to fight off the infection. In the case of severe anemia, there are not enough red blood cells present for white blood cells to extract oxygen. In essence, there are plenty of soldiers (white blood cells) , but they have no ammunition (superoxidase compound) to destroy the enemy.

In addition there is an increased possibility for infection to rapidly grow and overwhelm the body. If severe, it can lead to sepsis. Sepsis can further release hormones and other reactionary chemicals into the body that can lead to further problems with oxygen delivery, blood flow, and can result in shock. Thus it becomes paramount to help the immune system to fight bacterial infections early on, or even before they occur. Now there is an easy way to increase the oxygen in the body. It does not involve swallowing or ingesting water, juices or finding an oxygen bar. It involves nothing more than breathing oxygen in a pressurized atmosphere. which is Hyperbaric Oxygen Healing Therapy. This involves breathing oxygen at a slightly higher pressure than normal for about 1 hour. This slightly increased pressure enables the blood to absorb much greater amounts of oxygen, enough to support life without blood, but fighting off the bacteria is harmful to the body. This also provides additional oxygen to parts of the body that may have been damaged. Additional oxygen to parts of the body that may have been damaged and are not functioning properly because of insufficient oxygen supply.

In a recent study it was found that 95% of diabetics who were on the verge of having their legs amputated recovered use of their legs when the necrosis was arrested with prompt treatment in a hyperbaric healing chamber.

Hyperbaric Healing Facilities are found in many hospitals and hyperbaric clinics for enhancing wound healing, burn treatment, flesh-eating bacteria, post-radiation therapy, nerve damage, near drowning, carbon monoxide poisoning, CP and autism in children, stroke recovery, smoke inhalation and many other ailments.

So if your doctor knows little or nothing about this hyperbaric healing modality, find out for yourself and protect your life.

STUDIES AND EXPERIMENTS INSIDE HYPERBARIC CHAMBERS

Experiments carried out in this atmospheric chamber have produced amazing results.

1) The extended life span of drosophila fruit flies up to three times the life span.
2) Molecular change of venom in copperhead snakes to a non-toxic state.
3) Accelerated growth of piranha fish - from 2" to 16" in 2.5 years.

The environment in which we live with plants and other animals has changed since biological systems first appeared. The composition of the air we breathe has continued to change. For example, there is reason to believe that the concentration of oxygen found within the air has decreased over time.

It has been estimated by researchers at the University of Illinois that the atmospheric pressures in the earliest beginnings of life on earth, could have been as much as 29.4 pounds per square inch, twice the current sea level pressure (14.7 psi at sea level).

1) Oxygen content would have been about 30% instead of the 21% we experience today
2) An open wound could heal overnight under these conditions
3) This atmospheric condition would increase human life span

Much more testing needs to be conducted. We can only hope some of our scientists and doctors follow through on this topic and apply it to our everyday life.
