<I have recently had a number of clients who have been visiting a clinic in
Switzerland to drink ‘Oxygenated Water’. One client has even installed a
special ‘tank’ which provides them with a constant supply. As far as I am
aware, there has not been any conclusive evidence for this form of
treatment, but perhaps someone on the list has had some firsthand experience
of it. I would greatly appreciate any references, reading or literature in
this regard, in particular the rationale behind why one would use it.>

*** Dr Yessis wrote about “oxygenated” water on our list several months ago,
but I cannot recall having seen any peer-reviewed papers on its use.

<I am especially concerned, as the claims made (useful in Cancer treatment,
Heart Disease?) are fairly ambitious.

*** If such claims are being made, then anyone selling that sort of treatment
should provide the necessary scientific corroboration. Of course, I trust
that those extolling its virtues realise that increased oxidation in the body
may well promote the generation of more free radicals, which currently are
being regarded as being a major contributing factor in the aetiology of
cancer, heart disease and many aspects of ageing.

Anyway, suppose that you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day
(which I certainly can’t), the volume of dissolved oxygen is so small that
you can derive more oxygen from the air in a few hearty breaths! Did those
clinics ever inform clients that the oxygenated water doesn’t contain much
more than a fraction of 1 percent of the volume of the water being imbibed?
Did they also explain how a few extra mL (millitres) of oxygen can heal
cancer and heart disease and why it is better than inhaling oxygen via a
mask? How much oxygenated water can one drink to obtain adequate extra
oxygen that will change one’s quality of life and remove all traces of some
terminal diseases?

Incidentally, Swiss “clinics” are renowned for promoting and selling miracle
cures and outrageously unusual types of treatment to the affluent (whose
gullibility about health and age-control is often directly proportional to
their wealth!) – at one stage they were injecting embryonic sheep cells and
“glandulars” into patients because they felt that “very “young” cells will
make the body “younger”. If such treatments are ever questioned, the
frequent response is that this is because there is a conspiracy by the
medical profession to control all aspects of the health and wellness
industry.

Why not visit us here in high altitude Colorado where there is less oxygen
and less likelihood of that dreaded free radical proliferation? Combine it
with some wonderful skiing and winter sporting opportunities, a few sessions
in the Supertraining jacuzzi and pool – add a dash of training in a
weightlifting and powerlifting gym and what more do you need? But don’t
drink the city water which contains more chlorine per litre than our swimming
pool! At least the use of oxygen for purifying drinking water would be one
sensible application. Anyway, chlorine and bromine are actually used for
sanitising water because they are very powerful oxidising agents! Of course,
that bit of trivia should not encourage anyone to drink household bleach or
hydrogen peroxide!
