  2. What is Oxygen????? • Oxygen is the 8th element on the periodic table • The symbol for Oxygen is O. • The atomic weight for oxygen is (15.9994) 16.0. • The Electron Configuration for oxygen is [He]2s22p4. • Oxygen is the third most abundant element found in the sun • As a gaseous element, oxygen forms 21% of the atmosphere

  3. Why do I depend on Oxygen?? • People, such as myself, rely on oxygen for respiration. • Also oxygen is needed transport gases across cell membranes. • Another reason oxygen is needed it to manufacture hormones, proteins and other chemicals.

  4. The Power of Oxygen • A human being can live for days without water, and weeks without food but without Oxygen biological death begins to occur within three minutes. • Oxygen is the single most important substance taken into the body. • Oxygen nourishes the cells, it provides the energy needed to metabolize carbohydrates. • Oxygen strongly builds up your immune system defense and fights hostile organisms

  5. Oxygen and Health • If there is not enough oxygen in your body, then both the solidifying function and incomplete combustion occur to excess. • If our body's oxygen level drops too low, then we don't have much energy. • If a chronic low oxygen condition is allowed to continue or we can't manufacture healthy cells, burn energy • Oxygen keeps cells clean and flexible, and removes unneeded structure.

  6. Oxygen and Diseases • When we're working with cell cultures in the lab, if we want cells to mutate, we turn down the oxygen. To stop them, we turn the oxygen back up. • Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes, but there is only one prime cause is the replacement of the normal oxygen respiration of body cells by an anaerobic cell respiration. • Lack of cellular oxygen supply is probably the most common cause of cell injury

  7. Breathing is the physical source of your continuing life . Medical ozone therapy oxygen therapies are natural alternatives to detoxify, kill infectious disease bacteria, mycoplasmas and virus organisms . Oxygen therapies have many therapeutic uses with effective and beneficial effects on every part of our bodies. Medical ozone therapy is recognized by most as the most powerful and versatile therapy known in alternative health because it plays a vital role in maintaining our well-being. Oxygen and Therapy
