Why is oxygen so important?
Did you know that 90% of our NUTRITIONAL ENERGY comes from oxygen and ONLY 10% is derived from ingested food? Basically, your body starves without oxygen. It is one of the most basic needs.

What are the major functions of oxygen?
Oxygen plays a significant role in sustaining the natural immortality factor of the cell. It has a policing role that naturally oxidizes bacteria, fungi and viruses. Oxygen is also necessary to burn up toxins in the body that we generate internally and those that come from sources in our food (especially junk food), water and environment.

Why aren't we naturally getting enough oxygen?
200 years ago the concentration of oxygen in the air was somewhere between 36% and 38%, recent measurement show a mere 19%. That's a 50% reduction in what was available to out most recent ancestors. In some heavily industrialized areas with high pollution levels, the oxygen content can be as low as 9%, while "carbon dioxide levels" have increased from 1% to 25%.

Is there an ideal oxygen level?
The average concentration of oxygen in the blood stream is between 60% to 70%. Below 60%, disease begins to take over the management of the cells. The minimum concentration of oxygen needed to sustain life is about 52%, but as this levels, one is not very much alive. It has been proven that dropping stabilized oxygen on viruses or any other invaders will make them die on contact. The link between insufficient oxygen and disease definitely exists. The challenge is clear. Get enough oxygen directly into the cells where these anaerobic pathogens live.

Oxidation is the key to life!
In "Oxidation Catalyst" and article written in the journal of the American Association of Physicians, Dr. W. Spencer Way writes about oxidation, "If we assume that the cells in question do receive proper nutritional elements - vitamins, minerals, proteins, hormones, etc. - in the presence of a normal oxidation process, we should have healthy cells and thus healthy tissue."

Dr. Stephen Levine, a renowned molecular biologist and author of Oxygen Deficiency: A Concomitant to all Degenerative Illness, writes, "In all serious disease states we find a concomitant low oxygen state. Low oxygen in the body tissues is a sure indicator for disease."

Through a combination of good nutrition, healthy lifestyle and oxygen supplementation, the average person can enhance the way their body accesses and utilizes oxygen. But like anything else you need to do your homework and as you begin to introduce more pure, stable oxygen into your system, it's only a matter of time before your body will begin to respond with new levels of vitality, energy, endurance and, most of all, a profound sense of well-being.
