The statement and advertising of oxygen and ozone therapy seems to be everywhere.
In the Internet and magazines, these alternative therapies are hyper-
Biological oxidation
Oxidation therapy, oxygen therapy and ozone therapy.
Those who promote these therapies do so on the basis of an unfounded assumption that all diseases, even those as serious and complex as cancer, are caused by a lack of oxygen in body tissue.
Their "therapies" claim to increase oxygen in the tissue, thereby improving the body's ability to stop or fight disease.
Not only is this therapy unfounded, but it is also a waste of money, some of which can also be harmful.
Of course, oxygen does have its legal purpose.
Patients with gas swelling or surgery usually use a tube placed under their nostrils to deliver oxygen to their lungs, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be performed in a pressure chamber.
But you should be alert to others.
For example, ozone therapy is shown on at least one website as an effective treatment for cancer, arthritis, immune deficiency, infection, fibromyalgia and other diseases.
Ionising water is touted as a way to give the body extra oxygen and energy.
If we have fins like fish, maybe we can separate oxygen from liquid. We can't.
Some newspapers advertise "stabilizing oxygen molecules in liquid solutions of sodium chloride and distilled water", saying that this allows pure oxygen to be absorbed directly into the blood around the lungs.
It is said to be effective in treating various problems from fatigue to disease.
But we can't get around the lungs.
Over the years, hydrogen peroxide has been promoted as a treatment from asthma to condyloma acuminatum to hemorrhoids.
An ad claimed that it added a few drops of "food grade" Hydrogen peroxide (
Reading: Marketing of health food company)to water.
It is also recommended as an additive for bathing, as an enema, and through injection, all of which can cure a variety of diseases in the real deep layer.
This treatment has no contribution to the body's oxygen demand.
We can bring oxygen into the body in one way: the lungs.
Have you heard of "gathering water?
It costs about $35 per bottle and is advertised as six bottles
The H20 molecules can be passed through the side of the cell wall to enhance the work of enzymes and nutrients in the body.
Although the manufacturing process is patented, there is no scientific evidence to prove its benefits.
Chemists, biochemists and pathologists tend to refer to this concept as "explosive chemistry" and "pseudoscience ".
Then the bottled saline solution "Vitamin O "($20 per bottle)
Claim 30,000 oxygen per million.
It should enable oxygen to be absorbed into the blood, thus promoting better health.
One of several issues with this claim is the maximum solubility of oxygen in water (
Two parts of hydrogen to oxygen)
There are only 7,500 parts/million at room temperature.
Remember, the body also does not absorb oxygen into the blood through the intestines.
You heard of ozone. -
The light blue gas layer above Earth protects us from too much UV rays from the sun.
Consisting of oxygen molecules and added oxygen atoms, ozone can be produced when a flame is introduced in a pure oxygen chamber.
It's a powerful antioxidant because it produces "free radicals" when it breaks down ".
Free radicals destroy natural biological substances.
The ozone "air purifier" may be the result of this capability.
They produce ozone and promote use in homes where people are sensitive to indoor air pollution.
But ozone is toxic.
Too much will irritate the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Even low-
Horizontal exposure can cause lung capacity problems in healthy adults.
Ozone is good in the upper atmosphere, but on the ground it is a harmful pollutant.
A few years ago, California health services warned consumers of false statements about ozone devices used as air purifiers.
Despite the potential risks, ozone therapy is sometimes used to treat people with AIDS.
Used in Europe and recommended by some American doctors.
So far, there is little reliable evidence that ozone treatment is effective as an AIDS treatment.
However, research in Italy continues.
If you consider using any alternative oxygen or ozone therapy, especially those that use liquid substances to be ingested, remember that oxygen is absorbed into our body through our lungs, not through the stomach or intestines.
Breathe normally at sea level, with 20% of oxygen in the air.
This is enough for a normal person. *Barrie R.
