[Illustrated Summary] The Relationship Between "Oxygen and Disease" Proven by the Nobel Prize—A Story Unknown in Japan for 90 Years
"Oxydol" sold at pharmacies.
Did you know that the stuff used to disinfect wounds is actually also contained in breast milk?
Moreover, our immune cells
produce hydrogen peroxide within the body themselves to kill viruses and bacteria.
Even though the Nobel Prize proved the "relationship between oxygen and disease" over 90 years ago,
for some reason, it is almost unknown in Japan.
This time, using the English book "The One-Minute Cure" as a subject,
I have summarized the knowledge of oxygen and health into illustrations.
However, since this book contains a mix of wonderful knowledge and claims that are dangerous if taken at face value, I will honestly separate and introduce the "usable parts" and the "parts that require caution."
Main Topic
Oxygen accounts for 62-71% of the body
62-71% of the human body is made of oxygen.
Not water, not bones, but oxygen. You can live for weeks without food,
and for days without water.
But if oxygen runs out, you die in minutes.
It is that important, yet
hardly anyone lives their life thinking about oxygen.
The "relationship between oxygen and cancer" proven by the Nobel Prize
In 1931, Dr. Otto Warburg
received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
The conclusion of his research was "viruses cannot multiply in an oxygen-rich environment."
Furthermore, he stated, "If you deprive a cell of 35% of its oxygen, it can become cancerous within 48 hours."
The relationship between oxygen deficiency and disease was proven over 90 years ago.
The decisive difference between "good bacteria" and "bad bacteria"
You know that there are "good bacteria" and
"bad bacteria" among intestinal bacteria and skin flora.
But few people know the decisive difference.
Good bacteria = aerobic = they like oxygen.
Bad bacteria = anaerobic = they multiply in places without oxygen.
In other words, if the body has enough oxygen,
good bacteria thrive, and bad bacteria find it hard to live.
When cells "close" due to stress, oxygen cannot reach them
Research by Dr. Bruce Lipton, a cell biologist at Stanford University.
When you feel stress, the sympathetic nervous system becomes dominant,
and cells enter "combat mode" and close.
Closed cells cannot take in oxygen.
If oxygen does not reach them, you are prone to illness.
In other words, no matter how good things you do for your body, stress ruins it.
The true nature of stress is not "events" but "beliefs"
Even with the same workload, there are people who feel stressed and those who do not.
According to Dr. Lipton, the cause is
not the "event" but "incorrect beliefs" in the subconscious.
Unconscious assumptions like "I won't be loved" or "I must be perfect"
convert reality into stress.
To eliminate stress, change your beliefs, not your environment.
Why are modern people oxygen-deficient?
Ideally, the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere is about 20%.
But in urban areas with heavy pollution, there are regions where it drops to 10%.
Furthermore, shallow breathing, a sedentary lifestyle,
processed foods, and chlorinated tap water.
Everything is reducing the oxygen in our bodies.
This might be the reason why modern people are chronically sluggish,
easily tired, and prone to catching colds.
The reason why breast milk contains "hydrogen peroxide"
Breast milk contains hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂).
Especially colostrum, which has a high concentration.
The reason is to stimulate the baby's immune system.
In fact, our immune cells also
naturally produce hydrogen peroxide in the body to kill pathogens.
It has an image of being a scary chemical, but
it is used every day as a "weapon" inside the body.
The "safe ways to use" hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is actually incredibly familiar.
Oxydol sold at pharmacies is exactly that (3% concentration).
Teeth whitening, periodontal disease prevention, wound disinfection, acne care, and foot baths for athlete's foot.
The active ingredient in expensive store-bought teeth whitening products is also actually hydrogen peroxide.
However, do not drink it. For external use only. This is important.
Why is 'oxygen-rich water' in nature good for the body?
Fast-flowing clear streams have a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide.
That is why spring water tastes good and is good for the body.
Conversely, stagnant water becomes a breeding ground for bacteria.
The waters of Lourdes in France and
the water in the Hunza region of the Himalayas have been confirmed to have high hydrogen peroxide concentrations.
It is also contained in rainwater, which is why plants perk up after the rain.
Diseases for which improvement has been reported with hyperbaric oxygen therapy
'Increasing oxygen improves disease' is
not just a mental theory, but exists as a medical practice.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment method that involves inhaling 100% oxygen at high pressure.
Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, brain injury,
autism, chronic fatigue syndrome, and multiple sclerosis.
It is a formal medical treatment that has been studied since the 1950s.
⚠️ Parts of this book you 'should not take at face value'
I will be honest.
This book contains a mix of wonderful knowledge and
claims that are dangerous if taken at face value.
'Almost all diseases can be cured'
'Cancer and AIDS can also be cured'
'A conspiracy by the pharmaceutical industry'.
These lack sufficient evidence.
Since I have a policy of not getting involved with shady things,
I am keeping my distance from the book on these points. Details below ↓
⚠️ The dangers of 'drinking' hydrogen peroxide
This book recommends diluting and drinking 35% food-grade hydrogen peroxide.
To be honest,
the FDA has issued warnings about health hazards regarding this internal use.
There are reports of stomach damage, vomiting, and difficulty breathing.
Even if external use is safe, internal use is different.
Do not drink it based on your own judgment.
If you are going to do it, please be sure to consult a professional.
I am interested in natural remedies, but
I don't know what is real and what is shady.
In such cases, you don't have to worry alone.
