Oxygen and Detoxification

1

• Oxygen and Detoxification
• Getting healthy and Feeling better

2
Environment

• 20 of the atmosphere is supposed to be oxygen
• 10 of oxygen is reduced due to high levels of
  smog and low numbers of trees in cities
• Carbon monoxide fumes from cars strip oxygen
  molecules from the blood
• Tap water very low in oxygen as its journey
  through lead pipes and the addition of chlorine
  and other chemical contaminants prevent it from
  being aerated.

Los Angeles air pollution

• Increases risk of cancer for infants and children
  later in their lives
• Smog accumulates with less than 15 inches of rain
  each year
• One of the most polluted in the US

4
Is indoor air cleaner?

• Indoor air ranked among the 5 environmental
  risks to public health
• Indoor air quality is 2-5 times worse than
  outdoor air (up to a 100 times worse)
• Pollutants sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide,
  nitrogen dioxide and lead, bacteria, viruses

5
Are We Breathing?

• Over 50 of the population are shallow breathers.
• Couple that with spending a major percentage of
  our time each day working in buildings that re
  circulate the same old air without reasonable
  fresh air exchange
• End result
• depletion of the available O2, and continuously
  increases carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Viruses and bacteria concentrations continuously
  proliferating due to low O2 levels

6
Our Needs

• Air we need about 13.5 kg or 10,000L of clean
  nutritional air every single day
• Air is the most vital of the three basic needs

7
I will Survive

• How long can we survive without food?
• - several days
• How long can we survive without water?
• - 2 or 3 days
• How long can we survive without air? ONLY
• - a minute or two

8
Low Oxygen in the Cell cause disease

• Studies from various fields suggest that most
  problems in the body occur when there is not
  enough oxygen at cellular level.
• The air used be between 38-50 where viruses,
  pathogenic bacteria failed to thrive
• Today our climate changes lower Oxygen and
  increase the risk for disease 

9
Cancer cannot grow in high Oxygen Environment

• When a cell is denied 60 Oxygen CANCER grows out
  of control
• Cancerous growths disappear when oxygen
  saturation is raised in the fluids surrounding
  the cancerous cells

10
Our brain and Oxygen

• Healthy individuals breathe 21
• Our brain uses 25-40 of our total oxygen supply
• it is absolutely imperative that our brain
  receives enough oxygen

11
Oxygen is brain food

• sleep apnea
• poor concentration
• forgetfulness
• mood swings
• restlessness
• depressive thoughts and low drive
•  
• Brain activity Dr. Andrew Scholey, Division of
  Psychology, University of Northumbria "Extra
  oxygen has been shown to enhance mental
  performance and memory recall in healthy active
  adults in several clinical studies". Ref. Pmid
  10604851 (pubmed - indexed for medline)

12
Oxygen during flying

• More than 50 of air passengers loose blood
  oxygen at high altitudes even to a point at which
  a hospital patient would be prescribed extra
  oxygen
• The study by a team of Belfast researchers found
  that oxygen levels fell by an average of 4 when
  people reached cruising altitude. A total of 84
  passengers, ranging in age from one to 78, had
  their oxygen saturation levels measured by
  qualified anesthetists on the ground and at
  cruising altitude. From ground-level readings of
  around 97, the average fell to 93 at altitude.

13
Skin anti aging and Oxygen

• By age 40, almost 50 of the skins ability to
  consume and retain oxygen has been impaired.
• Less Oxygen results in more wrinkles, fine lines,
  and dull looking skin.

14
10,000 Years ago

• Oxygen level in the air is less today than in
  ancient times
• Oxygen content was 38 10,000 years ago  The
  main factor contributing to changes in dissolved
  oxygen levels is the build-up of organic wastes
  and getting worse due to pollution and
  industrialization

15
Low Oxygen Cause for disease

• In all serious disease states we find a
  concomitant low oxygen state...Low oxygen in the
  body tissues is a sure indicator for disease...
  Hypoxia, or lack of oxygen in the tissues, is the
  fundamental cause for all degenerative disease."
• Dr. Stephen Levine, Renowned Molecular Biologist
  Author, Oxygen Deficiency A Concomitant to All
  Degenerative Illness

16
Why do we Yawn?

• Scientists tend to agree that we yawn because
  oxygen levels in our lungs are low.
• When you yawn your alertness is heightened as the
  sudden intake of oxygen increases the heart rate,
  rids the lungs and the bloodstream of the carbon
  dioxide build-up, and forces oxygen through blood
  vessels in the brain, while restoring normal
  breathing and ventilating the lungs.

17
Oxygen Increases Energy Levels

• Oxygen plays an important role in the body
  energy conversion process-turns fats,
  carbohydrates and proteins into heat energy.
• Studies have shown that daily use of recreational
  oxygen can increase energy and stamina
  dramatically!!
•  
• "Insufficient oxygen means insufficient
  biological energy that can result in anything
  from mild fatigue to life threatening disease.
  The link between insufficient oxygen and disease
  has now been firmly established."
• Dr. W. Spencer Way, journal of the American
  association of physicians
•  

18
Death without Oxygen

• Our rich oxygen atmosphere has diminished from
  32 to as little as 12 13 in some large cities
  an average of 19 to 21 by volume overall. If
  our atmosphere drops below 7 oxygen, oxygen
  respiration cannot continue and anaerobic life
  will flourish.

19
Low Oxygen and Toxins in your blood

• Mood swings
• Weak immune system
• Irregular sleeping patterns
• Toxin build up in the blood
• Poor memory/concentration

• Fatigue
• Headaches
• Stress
• Anxiety

• Pale looking eyes
• Poor skin texture

20
Studies to support Oxygen during Exercise

• "Oxygen can clear your head, help eliminate
  toxins, and give you a mind high" Andy Davison
  exercise physiologist Cosmopolitan 2000.
• "If you use oxygen for 20 minutes, muscles become
  loosened headaches and stress seem to disappear.
  There is a renewed energy and a feeling of
  relaxation. I am confident oxygen works."   Dr.
  Richard de Andrea Sunday Herald.
• "Increases alertness, improves the bodys ability
  to burn fat and enhances physical performance."
  Howard Robbins D.P.M, for The Journal.

21
How does Oxygen help in Exercise

• Boosts energy
• Prevent the lactic acid build up that can hinder
  recovery time.
• Increases metabolic rate and promotes more
  efficient use of the bodys fat reserves.
• Plays a part in repair and growth of muscle
  tissue.
• "Extra oxygen enables you to recover more quickly
  from exertion. It allows someone to train and
  then exercise again." Dr. John Brewer, head of
  sports science at Lilleshall Human Performance
  Centre Health and Fitness 1999.

22
Stress and Anxiety

• Why does oxygen help relieve stress anxiety?
• When the human body becomes stressed and anxious
  it releases oxygen. The more we become stressed
  the more we lose oxygen - this why a person who
  has been in an accident will be given oxygen and
  as a result start to feel calmer.
•  

23
Oxygen improves

• Improves patients ability to utilize oxygen
  during times of anxiety where oxygen depletes
• Improves feelings of calmness thereby reduces
  heart palpitations
• Increased Oxygen reduces dizziness by binding to
  RBC to improve blood circulation

24
