  Why is oxygen so important to us?

  Healthy cells in the body need and love oxygen. Most undesirable micro-organisms are anaerobic, which means that they thrive in the absence of oxygen; in fact, they are destroyed by the presence of oxygen. Organisms such as fungi, parasites, bacteria, and primitive viruses like HIV, Epstein Barr, Coxsackie and Cytomegalovirus are often associated with states of ill health. Note that conventional medicine blames these micro-organisms for many chronic illnesses.

  The body becomes deprived of adequate levels of oxygen through improper breathing, polluted air, inadequate nutrition and junk foods and stress. This provides an anaerobic environment in which the micro-organisms thrive.

  Healthy cells which have sufficient oxygen and nutrients, manufacture an enzyme coating around themselves which protects them against invasion. Oxygen starved cells are unable to produce enough enzymes to fortify their cell walls; they subsequently become weaker and more vulnerable.

  Heat is continually generated through the chemical action of oxygen upon carbon, which releases carbon dioxide for elimination. If insufficient oxygen is present, carbon monoxide is produced instead. Carbon monoxide is an irritant to the nervous system, interferes with organ functions, reduces basal body temperature, and prevents oxygen uptake by the red blood cells. This has the effect of debilitating the body, thus making it susceptible to infection and disease.

  How does it effect us?

  People can survive without water for a week and without food for a month but only four minutes without oxygen before brain damage sets in. As a result of oxidation, the body turns food into heat and energy and excretes microbes and waste products. The human body consists of water of which 90% is lymph and 10% is blood and O2. Cells function by burning sugar in the presence of O2. The waste products are H2O and carbon dioxide. If there isn’t sufficient O2, carbon monoxide and lactic acid build up. Carbon monoxide prevents the red blood cells from taking in O2, and the body’s temperature drops. The lactic acid builds up in the system, blocks nerve pathways, calcifies and eventually causes degeneration. More O2 is needed to break down these toxins. Several toxins are transported by the blood, and some are stored in fat cells. The water content of the body is polluted more and more and this results in illnesses. Cells that have too little oxygen are not able to protect themselves by means of production of a special enzyme layer on the cell surface. Viruses and bacteria can thus easily infiltrate the cell. Oxygen is therefore important for good health. The more O2 the body has, the more energy a body has and the quicker it can get rid of toxins and waste products. Oxidation is important for the body’s metabolism, blood flow, respiratory system and digestive system. Sufficient O2 allows the body to heal itself and to maintain the immune system. Thus Ozone Therapy is one of the recommended treatments to elliminate viral and fungal infection as well as detox the system so the body can absorb more O2.

• The importance of water when you try to loose weight or detox

  Why is Water so important?

  Incredible as it may seem, water is possibly the most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off! Although most of us take it for granted, water may be the only true “magic potion” for permanent weight loss.

  Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will couse fat deposits to increase, while an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits. Here’s the reason: the kidneys can’t function properly without enough water. When they dont work to capacity, some of their load is dumped onto the liver. One of the primary functions of the liver is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for the body. But, if the liver has to do some of the work of the kidneys, it can’t operate at full tilt. As a result, the liver metabolizes less fat, more fat remains in the body and weight loss stops.

  Drinking enough water is also the best treatment for fluid retention. When the body gets less water, it preceives this as a threat to survival end begins to hold on to every drop! Water is stored into extra cellular spaces. (Outside the cells) This evidences as swollen feet, legs and hands. Diuretics are a temporary solution at best. They force out stored water, along with some essential nutrients. Again, the body perceives this as a threat and will replace the lost water at the first opportunity. Thus, the water retention quickly returns. The best way to overcome the problem of water retention is to give the body what it needs; plenty of water! Only then will the stored water be released and the swelling subside.

  The overweight person needs more water than the thin person. Since we know that water is the key to faster fat metabolism, it follows that the overweight person should drink much more water. Water also helps to prevent the sagging skin that usually follows wight loss. Shrinking cells are supported by fluid, which plumps up the skin, leaving it clear, healthy and resilient.

  Water helps rid the body of waste, detox. During weight loss, the body has much more waste to get rid of – all the waste products from the metabolized fat must be excreted. Again, adequate water intake helps to flush away these waste products.

  Water can help relieve constipation. When the body gets too little water, it absorbs what it needs from internal sources. One of these primary sources is the colon. A great deal of water can be re-absorbed from the faeaces, leaving them dry and hard. The result?  Constipation! Drinking enough water will couse normal bowel function to return.

  How much water is sufficient? On average, a patient should drink 2 liters of water per day. (About 8 glasses) An overweight person should drink an additional glass for every 10kg of excess weight. Water intake should also be increased when one exercises vigorously or when the weather is hot or dry.

  Water should preferably be cold – it is absorbed into the system more rapidly than warm water and is more pleasant to drink. Certain evidence suggests that drinking cold water can actually help to burn calories.

  When the body gets the water it needs to function optimally, it regains a state of fluid balance. When this happens, one has reached ’breakthrough point’. What does this mean?

  *Endocrine gland functioning improves

  *Fluid retention is alleviated as stored water excreted

  *More fat is used as fuel because the liver is free to metabolize stored fat

  *Natural thirst returns

  *There is a loss of hunger almost overnight

  If the patient stops drinking enough water, the fluid balance is upset and the result may be fluid retention, unexplained weight gain and a loss of thirst. To remedy this unhealthy situation, they will have to go back to drinking sufficient water to reach another ‘breakthrough point’.
