8. Why is oxygenation important?

As we all know, oxygen is the most essential element for the body’s survival. But the manner in which oxygen is absorbed, transported and utilised by the body remains a mystery to many of us. Some medical professionals have devoted long periods of study to oxygen and the human body.

Dr. Stephen Levine is a renowned molecular biologist. In his book "Oxygen Deficiency: A Concomitant to All Degenerative Illness", he stated that:
“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. Otto Warburg was Director of the Max Planck Institute for Cell Physiology in Germany and a Two-time Winner of the Nobel Prize For Cancer Research. In his book “The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer” he wrote:
“Cancer ........ has only one prime cause, the replacement of normal oxygen respiration of the body's cells by an anaerobic (i.e. oxygen-deficient) cell respiration."

Oxygen is needed to maintain a healthy environment for all cellular activity. Lack of exercise, stress and sedentary lifestyles contribute to chronically low levels of oxygen in our cells. Even lack of sufficient fresh food and water have been linked to reduced oxygen intake by the human body. Bacteria, viruses, parasites and malignant tumors all thrive in an oxygen-depleted environment. Low oxygen levels leave
us feeling tired and depleted.

A common factor in asthma, emphysema, bronchitis and other respiratory system disorders is an inadequate supply of oxygen to the blood. Our lungs will deteriorate between 9% and 25% every 10 years (Framingham study) unless we do something to maintain them. Exercise is the body’s mainstay for achieving this self-maintenance requirement. However, excessive stress during exercise can actually cause breathing blocks, which can lead to inadequate levels of oxygen.
