Oxygen products are a waste of money. They say they have "nascent oxygen" or "single oxygen", however this is the same thing as peroxide. All of these, including peroxide and ozone, break down into singlet oxygen when they enter the body. They function by oxidizing germs, toxins, and diseased cells. Because they're in low concentrations, however, they WON'T harm healthy cells. Liquid oxygen products are often actually just hydrogen peroxide (or something similar such as magnesium peroxide or something). However, hydrogen peroxide is much cheaper. With the liquid oxygen products you're basically just paying for the fancy label and marketing hype.

By the way, it's not the oxygen that's effective. A single breath of fresh air has many times more oxygen in it than a single dose of any of these "oxygen" products. Oxygen in the air is called "O2" because it is made up of two atoms of oxygen joined together. However, only singlet oxygen (O-) which is one molecule of oxygen is capable of oxidizing germs and toxins. This is what these products (including peroxide and ozone) create when they enter your body.

Hydrogen Peroxide and ozone work by oxidation NOT OXYGENATION. Somehow the two terms got confused. All the research that's been done around the world has been done using peroxide and ozone. They both work by OXIDATING the germs and toxins inside you. Oxygen (O2) doesn't do this.

Also, don't worry about free-radicals! The permanent damage from free-radicals only occurs in the DNA INSIDE your cells or from radiation exposure. Healthy cells have their own antioxidants that protect them from free radicals in the blood stream. Germs, toxins, and diseased cells are much more succeptable to them than healthy cells are. By staying within the reccomended dosages you WON'T hurt your healthy cells. If the dose isn't high enough to damage the membranes of the healthy cells, then no free radicals will enter the cells to cause any permanent damage. The radicals would have to actually enter the cells and damage the DNA for there to be any permanent damage. Just take the peroxide within the reccomended amounts. Hot baths with peroxide are VERY effective in treating almost all chronic conditions if used appropriately.

Here are some quotes:

“Hydrogen Peroxide is a very simple molecule produced by almost every cell in the body. This amazing molecule, essential for life in both plant and animal, has been generally overlooked for its role in oxidative metabolism. Every chemist knows any reaction must have an opposite reaction to balance the equation. This applies equally to reactions in the test tube and in living cells. The world seems to have been caught up in the idea all biological oxidation is harmful because free-radicals may be produced. Free-radicals can cause lipid peroxidation and membrane damage. Consequently many products, containing anti-oxidants, are being promoted to prevent peroxidation. Some researchers, including this author, feel peroxidation serves a useful purpose in the biochemical balance and may need stimulating at times instead of preventing…. Hydrogen Peroxide is a naturally produced purposeful molecule in the body. It functions to aid membrane transport, acts as a hormonal messenger, regulates thermogenesis (heat production), stimulates and regulates immune functions, regulates energy production and many other important metabolic functions. These effects can occur without increasing the amount of oxygen. It is purposely used by the body to produce Hydroxyl Radicals to kill bacteria, virus, fungi, yeast and a number of parasites. This natural killing or protective system has nothing to do with increasing the amount of available oxygen.” - Charles H. Farr, M.D., Ph.D., The Therapeutic Use of Intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide (Monograph). Genesis Medical Center, Oklahoma City, Jan. 1987.

“There are a number of commercial products [that] claim to contain more oxygen on a volumes percent basis than Hydrogen Peroxide and consequently this has been interpreted as meaning they would somehow have more biological activity. There is a great deal of confusion about the difference between the terms `Oxygenation' and `Oxidation' when applied to biochemical reactions. A product which contains more oxygen per molecule may or may not have any biological activity…. We reported Intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide has an oxidative stimulatory effect when administered to man which appears to be independent of the amount of oxygen produced…. The amount of oxygen produced by a therapeutic infusion of Hydrogen Peroxide is very small. A single breath of fresh air contains many times more oxygen than found in either a therapeutic infusion or in a few drops of 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide taken orally…. The fact that Hydrogen Peroxide may increase oxygen tension in the tissue is of secondary importance. Any student of biochemistry knows the principal reaction of an oxidizer, such as Hydrogen Peroxide, is to accept electrons in the RedOx [reduction/oxidation] reactions of the body and has nothing to do with "Oxygen" or "Oxygenation." It is true Hydrogen Peroxide increases the rate of oxidation in the body, but this is not because it produces oxygen but rather it stimulates oxidative enzymes.” - Charles H. Farr, M.D., Ph.D., The Therapeutic Use of Intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide (Monograph). Genesis Medical Center, Oklahoma City, Jan. 1987.

“Oxidation is the removal of an electron from a molecule which changes electrical energy of the molecule into an oxidized state. The oxidizing agent which accepts the electron through this reaction becomes reduced. This reaction takes place in many biochemical reactions in which OXYGEN is not involved. In oxidative reactions in which Hydrogen Peroxide is involved, oxygen is released when the Hydrogen Peroxide, acting as an oxidizer, is reduced but it is the transfer of the electrons which is important and not the production of Oxygen…. Manufacturers of products which claim to have the same effect as Hydrogen Peroxide may not have a good understanding of the biochemical role of Hydrogen Peroxide in the body. Some of these products claim to provide more oxygen molecules than Hydrogen Peroxide and that may be true but I know of no scientific evidence to show this enhances oxidative metabolism. Cancer and many other degenerative diseases are thought to be the results of poor cellular oxidative processes. They are not the results of a reduced supply of oxygen. Persons with anemias or severe lung disease may have an oxygen deficit but do not necessarily have a greater incidence of Cancer or chronic diseases. The problem is not the delivery of oxygen to the cells but utilization by the cells. Hydrogen Peroxide affects utilization or oxidation dramatically whereas hyper-oxygenated or chlorinated molecules have not been shown to be necessary in the body to improve oxidative metabolism.” - Charles H. Farr, M.D., Ph.D., The Therapeutic Use of Intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide (Monograph). Genesis Medical Center, Oklahoma City, Jan. 1987.
