Oxygen And Cancer
By John Fink
Several years ago I was taken to the hospital with horrific stomach pain. Within an hour of arriving at the hospital, I was in the operating room having my gall bladder taken out. That is not a major surgical procedure inasmuch as it is done with just a couple of small incisions. Normally you go home the next day. I was there for 9 days.
The problem was they couldn t get my oxygen up to a safe level. When I left the hospital I didn t give it much thought. I thought it was a minor and temporary condition.
A few years later I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Again, the hospital had to keep me hooked up to oxygen throughout my treatment and recovery. When I returned home after 32 consecutive days in the hospital, my surgical wounds would not heal. I had the Visiting Nurses coming to my house twice a day for about a year. The nurses tested my oxygen level twice a day and expressed concern. I was told the low level of oxygen was a factor in my surgical wounds not healing.
I discovered that an insufficient level of oxygen in the blood is called hypoxia. It prevents the blood from being adequately oxygenated. If the condition worsens to the total absence of oxygen, it is called anoxia. This condition is serious it kills healthy cells and can cause death. You don t have to have a medical degree to know that without oxygen, you die.
I could not understand why my oxygen level kept dropping down. I was breathing, and air contains oxygen. I was drinking water (H20), and that s one part oxygen. So I did some research. The air we breathe today has far more pollutants than the air people breathed before the birth of the industrial revolution. The water we drink is not as pure as the water our ancestors drank.
Ed McCabe, author of “Flood Your Body with Oxygen”, brings this into clear focus:”By breathing, we are constantly taking unnatural, non-food substances into our bodies”
I discovered, from my personal experience and from my research, that we may not be getting enough oxygen. I also discovered that oxygen is a nutrient. I discovered that my oxygen deficiency was a factor in my cancer.
Here are some of the things my research revealed:
The planet s quality of oxygen is declining. Researchers have documented that the oxygen in today s environment is as much as one-third less than in ancient times.
Dr. W. Spencer Way writes in the Journal of the American Association of Physicians, “Insufficient oxygen means insufficient biological energy that can result in anything from mild fatigue to life-threatening disease.”
Dr. Otto Warburg, recipient of two Nobel prizes in Medicine, referred to oxygen as “a vital cell detoxifier,” and pointed to oxygen deficiency as the underlying cause of degenerative diseases and ultimately the death of the cell.
Thankfully, the world s population is becoming aware of the health hazards we are breathing.

We need to do our part in protecting the environment. Equally important, we need to be conscious of our own oxygen level. Talk with your health care provider and be certain you are getting a sufficient supply of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Remember, oxygen is a nutrient.
Iron is a nutrient that is needed to make hemoglobin which is the oxygen-carrying component of red blood cells. Some foods that will help are leafy green vegetables, salmon, tuna, and dark poultry. They all are iron rich foods and will help increase oxygen.
Make sure you are not suffering from Insufficient oxygen with this free test.
