Oxygen parlours are now getting popularized all over the world because of the effect and impact it as produced in the betterment of human health. Oxygen parlour is simply a parlour where you can breathe fresh oxygen for 15 to 20 minutes once in two days or three days. Experienced campaigners suggest that inhaling of fresh oxygen once in two days has brought in

tremendous effect on their day to day life like they feel more fresh and anew and they feel more motivated and dedicated to work.

Music therapy as well as aroma therapy is a couple of added extra services those oxygen parlours provide. As jogging in the morning, as fitness session in the gymnasium, 15 to 20 minutes once in two days is a must do activity for the present generation since however fresh you say, the air you inhale, still it is not free from toxic chemicals.

To Live we have to BreatheOXYGEN

Are you aware that the air we breathe is only 21% oxygen ?

The air we normally breathe contains about 21% oxygen the rest is Nitrogen, Argon and other trace gasses.

300 years ago the Oxygen content in the air we breathe was over 38%

Page 5: Oxygen Parlour

Today it’s only 20.9% and as low 12 -15% in some cities.

Oxygen is the essential element required for our body’s to function correctly. It is needed by every cell in our body ranging from digestion to brain functions, we can live without food for up to a month, without water for days but without Oxygen we will live for little more than 4-5 minutes.

Oxygen creates life by converting Fuel (carbohydrates, fats and proteins) into energy and heat. Our cardio vascular system delivers essential Oxygen to the body’s tissues. Low levels of Oxygen result in lower energy production making us feel sluggish and drained of energy. Additional Oxygen can benefit people from every walk of life in virtually all that we do.

Pure oxygen can replenish body's energy levels, improve hair and skin conditions, filter toxins from the blood, reduce stress, fatigue and headaches, apart from being a proven hangover remedy,

Oxygen is one of the five basic elements of all life: Oxygen, Nitrogen, Sulphur, Hydrogen and

Page 6: Oxygen Parlour

Carbon). There are several forms of Oxygen, however the most common and stable form of Oxygen is O2"or Diatomic Oxygen. Oxygen is a vital element to good health and it’s our primary source of energy. 90% of our energy comes from oxygen and the other 10% comes from food and water. With Oxygen Enriched Air (OEA), the body will metabolize food more efficiently, generate more energy and create a healthier body.

Have you ever seen athletes breathing oxygen porting event ?

Athletes agree oxygen increases their performance, endurance, and energy level. Athletes and athletics require tremendous amounts of oxygen to convert carbohydrates, sugars, fats and proteins into heat and energy required for their high activity level. This conversion process is known as Oxidation and what is Oxidized (or burned) for the body's energy are carbohydrates, sugars, fats and proteins. However, Oxygen is the "Fuel" required to oxidize all or any of these foods. Without the presences of Oxygen, these foods would oxidize very poorly resulting in a poor cellular reproduction and function, which would cause inadequate production of energy. Since Oxygen is the main Fuel required to Oxidize your carbohydrates, sugars, fats and proteins into energy, a lack of oxygen will promote an inadequate Oxidation process (poor burning of foods), which will result in a lower percentage of your foods being converted into energy and high

Page 7: Oxygen Parlour

percentage of your foods turning into fat.

The bottom line: "Oxygen is an element that you can live with !"

Who Needs Pure Oxygen ?

Sports

Athletes know that taking oxygen before and after exercise lets them work out longer reducing the time needed to recover, limiting the build up of lactic acid. Oxygen is used as an instant energy boost for competitive and endurance sports greatly assisting the body’s absorption of essential minerals, vitamins, amino acids and proteins whilst improving the body’s ability to burn fat.

Work

People with mentally demanding jobs are aware

Page 8: Oxygen Parlour

that oxygen gives them an instant energy boost, enhances cognitive ability, increases memory capacity, improves reaction, even alleviates the symptoms of jet lag and stress induced headaches. Oxygen overcomes the tiresome effects of recirculated air in modern offices, and similar buildings.

Play

Clubbers have found that Oxygen increases energy levels and helps you rave all night long, reducing the polluting effects of smoke and counteracting the low ambient oxygen levels often found in busy night clubs and dance venues. Oxygen speeds up the effects of alcoholic drinks, helping you get into the party mood faster and recover quicker if they have over indulged.

Health & Beauty

Increased Oxygen levels contribute to a healthier looking skin and complexion at cellular level, helping remove toxins and free radicals from the body, boosting the immune system by destroying anaerobic bacteria, enhancing vitality and promoting a radiant look. Oxygen counteracts the effects of ageing and reduces the possibility of

Page 9: Oxygen Parlour

illness by helping our body’s fight disease.

Oxygen Parlours, invented in Japan in the fifties to cure traffic policemen who were knocked out by the toxic fumes emitting from vehicles and other machinery, help detoxify the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream. The Japanese innovation has caught the imagination of the world with many industrialized countries setting up such parlours for the workmen to sniff pure oxygen whenever nausea overcame their senses

What is an Oxygen Parlour ?

An Oxygen Parlour is a kiosk or place that offers non-medical oxygen mixed with various scents including aromatherapy. The oxygen in Oxygen Parlours is between 90% and 92% oxygen allowing the customer to breathe 4 to 5 times the normal amount of oxygen. These Oxygen Parlours give patrons an uplifted refreshed feeling as well as increased energy, detoxification and a general overall good feeling Oxygen Parlours are a new wave of health product and relaxation service sweeping worldwide.

An Oxygen Parlour combines pure oxygen with the elements of popular aromatherapies for a

Page 10: Oxygen Parlour

positive, uplifting and therapeutic effect. Most of all it is a fun and healthy activity that is popular around the World.

Oxygen enriched air purifies the lungs, saturates the blood stream and reenergizes the body while the aromatherapy helps to clear the mind, heighten awareness and balance emotion

How does it work ?

We use oxygen generators, not high pressure cylinders, so our product is completely safe with no stored oxygen. The generators produce oxygen on demand using a technology called Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA). PSA takes the ambient air from the room and filters out the Nitrogen, Argon and other trace gasses releases the Oxygen to 92% purity.

Our O2 Oxygen Parlour - Oxygen concentrator is based on the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) Technology - NASA derived technology that utilizes unique molecular sieves to separate air into its constituent parts of Nitrogen, Oxygen and trace gases. The system redirects the Oxygen for use out the front, while it ejects the Nitrogen and

Page 11: Oxygen Parlour

trace gases back into the atmosphere through side vents. The PSA system was developed as an alternative to the cryogenic separation of gases.

The latest advancements in the field of PSA technology led to the creation of the smallest oxygen generators in the world. These are small machines that are ultra-quiet and virtually maintenance free because they have very few moving parts.

The Oxygen is delivered to you through what we lovingly refer to as a nose hose or more formally as a Nasal Canula.

Is breathing oxygen in an Oxygen Parlour harmful ?

There are no risks and no adverse effects with the short-term use of oxygen. The American Lung Association has said that breathing oxygen from an Oxygen Parlour for less than 30 minutes (one Oxygen Parlour session) has no harmful effects and there is no evidence that oxygen used in parlours can be dangerous to a normal person's health. Oxygen Parlours equipments are safe and healthy!

Page 12: Oxygen Parlour

How does it make you feel ?

Breathing higher concentrations of oxygen has several benefits; the most commonly reported benefits are increased energy, an uplifted refreshed feeling, clearing of the mind, relief of toxic headaches such as the hangover, relief of stress and promotion of higher concentration levels. Oxygen is also a proven detoxifier and has anti-aging properties.

AN INTRODUCTION TO STABILIZED OXYGEN AS A NUTRITIONAL DIETARY SUPPLEMENT

For almost 50 years, researchers and health practitioners have observed that patients using all forms of oxygen-based therapies (including stabilized oxygen supplements) have experienced improved health and well-being. How can the most abundant element on the earth provide, what many professionals have reported, such remarkable physiological benefits? To answer this question, we first have to understand just what oxygen is and how important oxygen is to a healthy body.

OXYGEN CHEMISTRY

Page 19: Oxygen Parlour

Oxygen is one of the five basic elements of all life (oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and sulphur) and is colorless, tasteless and odorless. None of these five basic elements, or any other element for that matter, is as abundant as oxygen. In addition, only oxygen is capable of combining with almost every other element and is essential in combustion. The earth's crust is estimated to be 49.2% oxygen by weight; almost 20% of our atmosphere is oxygen and the rest is nitrogen; oxygen constitutes almost 85% of sea water, 47% of dry soil, 42% of all vegetation, 46% of igneous rocks and over 65% of the human body. The two men credited with the discovery of oxygen in 1773 are the Swedish chemist Karl Wilhelm Scheele and Englishman Joseph Priestley. But it wasn't until 1777 that the French scientist Antoine Laurent Lavosier demonstrated that oxygen was a pure substance and a component of air.

OXYGEN - THE BASIS FOR ALL LIFE

No other element is as important as atomic oxygen (with its eight electrons per atom.) Oxygen is absolutely critical to the life processes of all living creatures. Oxygen is brought to the lungs by respiration where it diffuses from the air into the blood stream through over 140 square

Page 20: Oxygen Parlour

meters of internal lung surface area called the "gastric mucosa". The average individual takes in approximately 6 liters of air per minute, (about 14 breaths per minute of about 500 ml,) during what is called a "resting state". Under heavy exertion or stress, this rate can increase to more than 125 liters per minute. Oxygen from the lungs rapidly diffuses into the blood plasma where it is then taken up by the hemoglobin in the red blood cells. The hemoglobin becomes over 95% saturated with the available oxygen where it is then carried and eventually transferred to every one of the billions of cells in our bodies. The oxygen, once in these "recipient" cells is consumed as sugars are converted to energy and heat. The more energy or warmth our body needs, the more oxygen that is consumed. This process is called "oxidation" and carbohydrates (sugars) are what are oxidized (or "burned") for the body's fuel. Therefore the cells, to remain healthy and to continue to perform their function of providing energy for the body, must have an adequate and continuous supply of oxygen. Do we get enough oxygen into our blood stream? And if we don't, what happens to our cells and vital organs when they are denied an adequate supply of oxygen? These are vital questions that scientists and researchers have debated for many years. Let's look at some of their conclusions.

THE BLOOD STREAM: THE RIVER OF LIFE

Page 21: Oxygen Parlour

Human blood has three main components: plasma, white blood cells and red blood cells. Our blood will settle into three distinct layers if left in a test tube. The red blood cells, the most numerous in the bloodstream, will settle on the bottom. White blood cells, including lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils, and platelets, will form a thin white line in the middle. A deep, yellowish, watery plasma will float to the top. Plasma is the actual "river" in which all the working constituents of our blood are carried in our remarkable circulatory system. Among the many constituents in this river is dissolved oxygen - up to 5% can be dissolved in this fluid. Unlike fish that can exist on this dissolved oxygen in the plasma stream, the human body requires more oxygen than the plasma can provide. Hence, the great importance of red blood cells which can carry tremendous amounts of oxygen to the tissues in our body. But these red blood cells get their oxygen from the plasma. The body, in its own remarkable way, does not allow all of the red blood cells' oxygen to be consumed as it courses through our bodies. Under normal conditions, 70% to 75% of the oxygen that started the journey in the red cells completes the return trip to the lungs. Thus, from 25% to 30% of the oxygen is consumed by normal cellular metabolism. If, however, the body undergoes exertion, stress, or any other prolonged physical activity, this "reserve" can drop to 20% to 25%. Thus, if you can raise the amount of oxygen dissolved in the plasma, you will increase the amount of oxygen that gets to the cells and that can become a part of the oxygen "reserve". The red blood cells, as carriers, gather oxygen from the plasma and transport this oxygen to the capillaries where it is

Page 22: Oxygen Parlour

released again into the plasma for the cells to use for metabolism.

A LACK OF ADEQUATE OXYGEN IS THE CAUSEOF ALMOST ALL CHRONIC PAIN & SUFFERING

An amazing statement was included in the research by Dr. Arthur C. Guyton, M.D. in his medical text The Textbook of Medical Physiology. He wrote: "...all chronic pain, suffering and diseases are caused from a lack of oxygen at the cell level." (1) In his research, Dr. Guyton discovered that in order for our cells to get their oxygen from the blood stream, the cells must be in what he described as a "dry state". In this condition there will be "...no excess fluid around the cells. There is only enough fluid to fill the crevices around the cells." Dr. Guyton believed, as well as most of the medical profession, that as long as the fluid around the cells was at the proper water level, contained the right mineral balance, and was free of toxic wastes, the cells would continue to live, function and grow in a healthy manner. Dr. Guyton's research revealed that blood proteins in our blood stream, (which is 91% water,) make sure that the water is kept in our blood stream so that no excess fluids seep around the cellular walls. If our blood proteins escape out of our blood stream and find their way into the spaces between the cells, then our lymphatic system must immediately remove these proteins from these spaces. The proteins'

Page 23: Oxygen Parlour

present in this altered condition will pull both sodium and water out of the blood stream.

This reverse transfer causes a water and sodium-potassium imbalance, alters the cells' "dry state", inflames the cells and reduces the cells' ability to produce energy. When this situation occurs, the presence of excess water between the cells pulls oxygen as well from the bloodstream. This reduces the amount of oxygen that can get to the cells through the blood stream. A prolonged blood protein imbalance will cause pain, sickness, disease and, if serious enough, could produce immediate death in just a few hours. Blood proteins are not the same as the proteins we eat. We eat proteins to obtain the amino acids from them. From these amino acids, the body manufactures its own proteins, especially those for the blood stream (albumins, globulins, and fibrinogens.)

Until Dr. Guyton's discoveries, it was believed that our blood proteins were simply too large to escape through the blood capillary membranes into the cellular spaces. Dr. Guyton proved that this assumption was untrue. He wrote: "The importance of this function of the lymphatics cannot be stressed too strongly, for there is no other route besides the lymphatics through which excess proteins, (which seep out of the blood capillaries into the spaces around our cells,) can return to the circulatory system." Fluids in the

Page 24: Oxygen Parlour

lymphatic system move up the legs, into the large thoracic duct in the chest where the fluids eventually empty into the subclavian vein at the base of the neck. At this point the fluids return to the blood stream with the "captured" blood proteins to re-balance the system. Dr. Guyton showed that the lymphatic vessels have one-way check valves in them. These valves keep the fluids in the system flowing on only one direction.

Approximately three quarts of blood pulses through the capillaries every minute of every day we are alive. (That's over 32,000 gallons of blood pumped through your capillaries each day!) During those same sixty seconds, the heart will beat eighty times and diffuse (pump) water through the tiny capillary pores to supply the cells with minerals, nutrients and oxygen. Fluid engineers calculate that the pressure is so great, and the pumping action so rapid, that the distance the water actually travels is microscopically small. In less than one second, the water flow must rapidly exchange its nutrients, minerals and oxygen for toxins and waste products before the blood proteins pull the water back into the blood stream.

(2) This is why it is so important for the cells to be in their "dry state". For every cell to take part in this healthy exchange, the cells must be packed as closely as possible together. The cells

Page 25: Oxygen Parlour

must be as little distance as possible from the capillaries.

HOW DO CELLS GET THEIR ENERGY ?

Dr. Otto Warburg has done considerable research on why healthy cells need oxygen to create the "energy" for the life process. In fact, he received two Nobel Peace Prizes for Medicine based on his research findings on the importance of oxygen to cellular life. Healthy cells in the body break down the carbohydrates we eat into simple "glucose" sugars. The glucose is then stored in the cells. The cells, when they need energy to perform their functions, (reproduction, heat, etc.,) take the stored glucose and in a chemical reaction with oxygen, create A.T.P. (Adenison Tri-Phosphate) which becomes, as described by Dr. Warburg", the "pure energy of the cell." If there is a lack of oxygen at the cellular level, no life process can take place and the cell dies. But Dr. Warburg also discovered that a poor supply of oxygen is also detrimental to the cell. When cells lack the right amount of oxygen, the glucose in these cells begins to ferment and a chain-reaction starts taking place. Instead of living off the A.T.P., the cell begins to live off of the fermentation of the stored glucose.

Page 26: Oxygen Parlour

THE BREAKDOWN OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

Dr. Stephen Levine, (a well respected molecular biologist and geneticist,) and Dr. M. Kidd completed research (3) that confirmed that "...oxygen is the source of life to all cells." The constant abuse we subject our bodies because of our eating and drinking habits, as well as a lack of exercise, robs precious oxygen from our bodies. This situation is further complicated by pollutants and toxic preservatives in our water, food and the air we breathe. Dr. Kidd wrote: "Oxygen plays a pivotal role in the proper functioning of the immune system..." especially as it relates to the system's resistance to disease, bacteria, and viruses. Dr. Levine added: "We can look at oxygen deficiency as the single greatest cause of all diseases." It is believed, and supported by a great deal of research, that a shortage of oxygen in the blood could very well be the starting point for the breakdown of the immune system.

According to Dr. Levine, "oxygen nutrition" optimizes the concentration of oxygen in relation to a natural food diet. In other words, the amount of oxygen in relation to food density is the key for excellent cell metabolism. Dr. Levine went further to show that complex carbohydrates are oxygen rich foods. The complex carbohydrates include

Page 27: Oxygen Parlour

vegetables, whole grains, seeds and nuts. (Fruits are too high in simple sugars to be classified as complex carbohydrates.) Since Dr. Levine is a research chemist, he defines a complex carbohydrate as having 16 parts of oxygen and only 14 parts carbon and hydrogen. "More than half the weight of complex carbohydrates is oxygen," he stated. "But the percentage of oxygen in fats is less than ten or at the very most fifteen percent, so fats are very low in oxygen. In fact, fats are oxygen robbers. Protein is composed of 0 to 50 percent oxygen, depending on the specific amino acid profile. It is obvious that complex carbohydrates have the most oxygen." No nutrient -- whether it is protein, fatty acid, vitamin or mineral -- fulfills its functions in its original form. Nutrients, as they occur in our diets, are simply mechanical substances necessary for converting the potential energy in our foods into usable chemical energy for living. For this conversion to take place, oxygen must be present. Dr. Warburg's research adds further emphasis to these findings. He stated that sub-optimal oxygenation of tissues and cells seen in cellular hypoxia is not only the underlying cause of diseases, like cancer, but also results in a predisposition towards degenerative diseases. The lack of oxygen is the outstanding factor in immuno-depressive illnesses. Thus, all three researchers conclude, an increased oxygenation of the bloodstream and cells will enhance may restore overall health.

THE OXIDATION PROCESS

Page 28: Oxygen Parlour

Oxygen is used by the cells in many processes that break down excesses of toxic substances in the body. This process of combining a substance with oxygen at the cellular level is called "oxidation". Dr. Levine describes "oxidation" this way: "Oxygen provides the spark of life. Nutrients provide the fuel for burning. The correct fuel/oxygen mixture is required for the best of health." A lack of oxygen in proper amounts prevents oxidation and oxygenation, two processes that energize the cells to biological regeneration. These processes are the very foundation of life and death. If the normal environment of the cell is maintained, it will not lose its growth and reproduction potential. Poor oxygen supplies will result in poor oxidation. Poor oxidation results in increased cell contamination. Oxygen is a vital cell detoxifier. When body oxygen levels are deficient, toxins build and may eventually devastate the body functions and deplete the body of life-giving energy. Without oxygen, there can be no nourishment. Without nourishment, there can be no heat or energy and the body cannot purify itself. A body with an excellent oxygen supply, and an unhindered development of the oxidating and oxygenation metabolic processes, will be considered healthy and sound (sound health).

FREE RADICALS: ENEMIES OR ALLIES ?

Page 29: Oxygen Parlour

Over the last 30 years, over 6,000 scientific studies have revealed that free radical activity represents a major cause of all degenerative diseases. These same studies also indicate, quite clearly, that there is an effective way to control and in most cases eliminate free radical damage. Unfortunately, free radical science is totally misunderstood by the general public and misinformation on this subject is often provided by both the media and by manufacturers of nutrients and supplements designed to solve the free radical dilemma. What is the truth? What is a free radical? How are they created? Are all free radicals harmful to the body? Is there an effective way to deactivate free radicals? Is oxygen the real villain in free radical production? The simplest definition of a free radical was written by Dr. Kurt Donsbach in his book Oxygen-Oxygen-Oxygen: "It is an element or compound which has an unpaired or unmatched electron. This lack of balance causes the substance to have a very reactive character. However, it must be noted that these free radicals are very short-lived, usually in the one ten-thousandth of a second range. But during this short time, these free radicals can cause damage by joining with other body chemicals and changing their character, sometimes even producing a chain reaction by creating new free radicals that carry on." (4) Dr. Peter Rothschild, in his work Free Radicals, Stress and Antioxidant Enzymes wrote: "Due to their over-reactive nature, free radicals can be extremely toxic and are a direct consequence of the primary stress factors that adversely affect the immune system and threaten our health. However, this is not to imply that free radicals are always harmful or dangerous. Minute amounts of free radicals are essential for many important

Page 30: Oxygen Parlour

functions of the immune system and other vital cellular activities. For example, the immune system will actually generate free radicals to use in the process of removing a virus or bacteria. Only when high concentrations of free radicals are present, or when the levels of free radicals overwhelm the body's ability to remove them, does a threat to our health occur. Maintaining the balance between free radical activity and antioxidant enzyme supply is one of the important functions of the body." (5) Free radicals are missing electrons, and in this quantum atomic state, they will do whatever they can in stealing an electron from another source. Around every atom orbit electrons in what are called shells. These shells (or sub-orbits) vary in distance from the center of the atom's nucleus. Each sub-orbit can accommodate two electrons, each "spinning" or generating what quantum physicists call "wave forms" or "wave packets" in a different directions. If one of these electron's is missing in the outer orbit it will seek out its matching electron. It will not stop looking for this match until it finds one. Such an unstable and reactive atom is called a free radical. Free radicals can be of various sizes, from single atoms to more complex molecules. They can be one, two, three and four atom molecules based on oxygen, or formed from more complex atoms. They can be beneficial and they can be destructive. But best of all, they can be controlled by molecules produced in the body, like the enzymes superoxide dimutase (SOD) and gluthathione peroxidase, and naturally occurring vitamins and nutrients we can daily obtain like E, C, beta-carotine and bioflavonoids.

Maharishi Ayur-Ved wrote in his book Freedom from Disease: How to Control Free Radicals: "They are an inescapable feature of all oxygen based life. As part of the life-giving processes that create energy in every cell, free radicals are created as toxic waste. When the immune system sends special forces to fight infection, free radicals as used as a weapon...If the body takes in pesticides, industrial chemicals, processed foods, cigarette smoke, or alcohol, free radicals are the most common result. And when the mind and body come under stress, free radicals are mass produced." (6)

PAIN IS CAUSED BY A LACK OF OXYGEN

Dr. C. Samuel West, a specialist in the science of lymphology and a distinguished member of the International Society of Lymphology, has proven that food present in cells without enough oxygen will turn into toxic waste and fat. The less oxygen present in the cells, the more pain we experience. Dr. West is a strong advocate of exercise since a lack of exercise reduces circulation and thus the transfer of oxygen to the cells. This leads to high blood pressure and fluid retention (2). As mentioned previously, it is the lack of A.T.P. (Addenison Tri-Phosphate) that causes the glucose in the cells to ferment creating an anaerobic (without oxygen) condition. This

Page 32: Oxygen Parlour

upsets the metabolic processes of the cell. These cells, lacking sufficient oxygen, start manufacturing improper chemicals and soon these cells and their surrounding cells become weak and unhealthy. If prolonged, the entire immune system may start breaking down.

A lack of cellular A.T.P. drastically alters the body's sodium-potassium balance in the individual cells, in the bloodstream, and in the fluid that surrounds the cells. The chemical change also alters and reduces the "electrical fields" in the cells and the bloodstream. Once this electrical change occurs, minerals begin to "fall out" of the fluids surrounding the cells and the bloodstream and start sticking together in what is called "mineral deposits". If these minerals settle in the joints, arthritis occurs; in the eyes, cataracts occur. When they settle in the arteries, we describe the process as "hardening of the arteries." Our muscles also respond to electrical charges sent by the brain. These messages tell the muscles to contract and release. Anything that upsets this delicate and intricate electrical transfer of energy, as does a lack of adequate A.T.P., will cause the muscles spasm and work or respond poorly.

OXYGEN-EATING CHOLESTEROL

Page 33: Oxygen Parlour

We live in the world of fast-foods and instant-gratification. In addition, no modern society consumes more red meats and dairy products than does America. Research currently estimates that over 45% of the American diet is fat. Unfortunately, animal and dairy products contain high concentrates of cholesterol. While the body needs some "good" cholesterol to run efficiently, the cholesterol from meats and dairy products passes directly into the bloodstream and begin to "trap" blood proteins which are so important for stabilizing and regulating the flow of oxygen to the cells. Excessive consumption of cholesterol/fat-ridden food robs oxygen from the bloodstream. Fats easily combine with oxygen and form "free radicals". These free radicals use more oxygen to form peroxides that damage and destroy the cells. As far back as 1977, it was reported in the Scientific American (February Issue) that "...cholesterol epoxide (peroxide) and other substances formed from cholesterol will cause cells to mutate and which will cause cancer." This is how fatty foods, which are consumed so much by Americans, cause an oxygen deficiency that helps promote cancer.

Thus, cells that lose their ability to utilize oxygen can and do become cancerous. These cells have been oxygen-starved so long that they have undergone a metabolic "shift" and revert to a metabolism without oxygen (called anaerobic metabolism). This is, of course, the ultimate and last stage of degeneration caused by a low oxygen lifestyle. It is also interesting that

Page 34: Oxygen Parlour

research shows that people who consume very high quantities of fat have a far greater incidence of cancer as well as other degenerative diseases. Thus, cholesterol rich foods, (those lacking the life giving oxygen found in raw vegetables, etc. which are easily converted into energy,) are converted into toxic waste and fat in the cells. This toxic waste and fat in the cells impedes the nutrient supply to the cells from the bloodstream. In addition, all the current nutritional research clearly indicates that foods high in sugars, salts, fats and cholesterol are directly responsible for problems like kidney and heart diseases, liver damage, high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, obesity, and strokes. Dr. Levine has described the consequences of cellular oxygen deficiencies this way: it is "An acidic condition, caused by the accumulation of acidic byproducts, occurs in poorly oxygenated cells. Soft drinks, caffeine, alcohol, and red meats are among the substances that cause systemic (whole body) acidity where there is an excess of positively charges hydrogen ions (H+)." When excessive numbers of hydrogen ions are in the tissue environment they will combine with (and thus utilize) oxygen resulting in an oxygen deficiency state. "When cells are deprived of oxygen, lactic acid accumulates and the cellular environment becomes acidic. This reduces available oxygen for the primary function of metabolism because more oxygen is needed to neutralize the acid."

THE CHAIN REACTION

Page 35: Oxygen Parlour

As meat and dairy foods, which are high in cholesterol, break down (dissolve) in our stomach and intestine, poisonous by-products are manufactured. These by-products dilate (widen or expand) the capillaries making the distance that the water has to travel to and from the cells much greater. The greater the distance that the fluids must travel, in the same amount of time, the less the transfer of nutrients, oxygen and minerals. Also the less toxins, waste products, poisons, etc. are transferred back out of the cells and into the bloodstream. The waste products, toxins, etc. start to accumulate in the cells. The stretched capillary walls allow the blood proteins to escape and lodge themselves between the cells. The trapped proteins permit the accumulation of excess fluids around the cells. This prevents the cells from getting the oxygen they need and so the glucose begins to ferment resulting in electrical changes as the mineral and salt balances change.

The oxygen rich red blood cells carry a negative electrical charge. They travel through the capillaries single file. As the capillaries dilate and the electrical balance of our body changes because of a lack of oxygen, these blood cells are now dispersed over a greater volume in the capillaries, and are unable to travel the now greater distances to the cells. To further complicate matters, the red blood cells, because of the electrical change, begin to clump together to cause a microscopic traffic jam in the capillaries. This further dilates the capillary pores

Page 36: Oxygen Parlour

and allows more blood proteins to escape and lodge in the spaces around the cells. This produces more fluid around the cells and the process repeats itself until the cells begin to die because of a lack of oxygen.

EFFECTIVE PREVENTATIVE ALTERNATIVES

Most individuals when they are "sick" turn to conventional medicines to correct the problem. Researchers have learned, however, that many "effective" cures for illnesses have side-effects. Antibiotics, for example, are effective for removing pathogenic bacteria from the body. Many thousands of lives have been saved from bacterial infections by using penicillin as well as other antibiotics. Yet, many studies indicate the possibility that the recent drastic increase of candida albicans yeast infections is primarily due to the widespread use of antibiotics as prescriptions for humans. Statistics indicate that the majority of antibiotics produced and used today in the U.S. are purchased by the poultry, dairy and beef industry to prevent animal diseases. These antibiotics are eventually stored in the tissues of these "food" animals. When they are slaughtered and prepared for market, these "stored" antibiotics are eventually consumed by each of us and added to those that are already in our bodies. The problem is that antibiotics may remove beneficial as well as pathogenic bacteria. This situation could create an imbalance which

Page 37: Oxygen Parlour

could lead to an overgrowth of candida as well as many other problems. Therefore, when we use antibiotics, we make a trade-off. We often sacrifice our beneficial bacteria to rid ourselves of the pathogenic bacteria. While antibiotics have importance in life-threatening situations, to use them routinely for every ill is considered by many practitioners to be inappropriate and could even be dangerous to our health.

When the body encounters pathogens, (like viruses, fungi and bacteria,) in the bloodstream or in tissues, the immune system cells will surround or "engulf" these invaders. They then bombard these pathogens with self-generated free-radicals called "superoxides" which scientists call O2. These "superoxides" are manufactured in the cells during normal cell metabolism using the oxygen they get from the red blood cells in the capillaries. If the immune system is working properly, as described earlier, it will generate more anti-oxidant enzymes to remove the free-radicals to protect the surrounding tissues. The importance of this anti-oxidant defense system cannot be overstated. Without it, the immune system actually works against the body by generating too many free radicals which will go about doing damage to the surrounding tissue and our bodies. Although there are other factors, this breakdown in the immune system in many people has helped create an epidemic of auto-immune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

OXYGEN: THE KILLER?

Oxygen is both a life-giver as well as a "killer." It is one of the body's primary guardians and protectors against unfriendly bacteria and other disease organisms. In fact, one of oxygen's major functions is "disintegration". Brian Goulet, a Certified Herb-ologist and a Nutritional Consultant, wrote in his article "The Magic of Aerobic Oxygen" (7): "Rubble, garbage, toxins, refuse, debris, and anything useless are destroyed by oxygen and carried out of the system. Just as a clean house holds little interest to passing flies, likewise an oxygen rich body is a difficult fortress to assail." Harmful anaerobic bacteria and viruses cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. But oxygen is also naturally selective in what it kills. Unlike drugs and antibiotics which may and usually kill all bacteria in the body, oxygen kills only harmful bacteria while allowing beneficial bacteria to thrive thus insuring good health. Oxygen molecules, like those found in stabilized oxygen supplements, are missing electrons in each of the molecules' outer shells. Because of this, the oxygen molecules will pull electrons from anything that will give them up. Anaerobic bacteria and anaerobic viruses, (as do all living things) possess an electrical charge. These anaerobic organisms cannot prevent the oxygen molecule from stealing electrons from them. As soon as this process occurs, the organisms die. Aerobic beneficial bacteria will not give up their electrons to the oxygen molecules. Neither will beneficial

Page 39: Oxygen Parlour

bacteria which live under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions, like in the intestines, be adversely affected by oxygen. In fact, these organisms are actually stimulated in the presence of oxygen.

OXYGEN CLASSIFIED AS A VITAMIN

In view of all the scientific evidence available today, an excellent oxygen ratio in the bloodstream is a prime requirement for good health. Stabilized oxygen supplements are packed with nutrient oxygen. This oxygen certainly fits the definition of a vitamin which is a substance found in foods, (or the environment) and is necessary for life, but not necessarily manufactured by the body. Dr. Levine calls oxygen the "very spark of life!"

WHAT IS STABILIZED OXYGEN ?

The current literature explains that nutritional supplements made of stabilized oxygen can be either dissolved molecules of oxygen, (in various

Page 40: Oxygen Parlour

molecular configurations including O1, O2, O3, O4, etc.,) or bio-available oxygen molecules electrically bound to numerous salts. These oxygen salts include magnesium, potassium and sodium provided their molecular bonds are easily weakened so that the oxygen molecules may be absorbed by the body into the blood stream. The literature further explains that stabilized oxygen may be in either liquid or dry forms provided that in the dry form the oxygen molecules may be easily and readily made available to the body. Many oxygen supplements use oxychlorine or hypo-chloride compounds to stabilized the oxygen molecules. These compounds include chlorite (ClO2) and chlorate (ClO3). There is evidence to indicate that chlorite and chlorate may indeed release oxygen in its nascent form as O2 into the body as these ions are broken down during the digestive process by hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach.

THE EXPERTS SPEAK OUT ON THE BENEFITS OF STABILIZED OXYGEN

Dr. James Berg, (paraphrased from "Technical Discussion: Stabilized Oxygen",) states that activated oxygen may be found either in its molecular form, primarily O2, and or in an oxygen compound primarily chlorine dioxide or chlorite (ClO2). Rodrigo Rodriguez, M.D. (Medical Director of American Biologics Hospitalis), in a report for the prestigious Robert W. Bradford Research

Page 41: Oxygen Parlour

Institute stated: "Many substances are capable of releasing nascent oxygen such as chloride oxides, ozone, hydrogen peroxide and iodine compounds...""A comparison may be made of these substances on the basis of their stability and toxicity as well as pharmaconetic properties -- how it reacts in the body. Using the above examples, ozone releases its oxygen very rapidly (short half life) while chlorine oxides remain effective over a much longer period of time. Hydrogen peroxide has a relatively short half life as as stimulating free radical activity. Sodium periodate is a rich source of oxygen however, the byproduct iodine, is highly toxic to the cells."

Commonly used oxidants, as described by Brian Goulet, Certified Herbologist in the newsletter (ALIVE: Focus on Nutrition: Published by the Canadian Journal of Health and Nutrition), include oxides of oxygen (ClO2, ClO, ClO3, ClO4, etc.), ozone (O3) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Best-selling author, international speaker and one of the major authors on oxygen therapies today, Ed McCabe, wrote: "The so-called stabilized oxygen products are actually salts of oxygen diluted in water. These safe as directed, yet potent oxidizers, sometimes contain various proprietary additives to enhance their effectiveness. They are essentially a formulation mixing a solution of mildly buffered sodium chlorite (ClO2) with deionized water. These products are usually weakly buffered to an alkaline pH of around 12% but unlike highly buffered drain cleaners or other strong alkaline solutions, they immediately lose their alkalinity upon contact with any substance that is of lower

Page 42: Oxygen Parlour

pH. Bacteria, viruses, the acid mantle of human skin, and the hydrochloric acid in our stomachs all react with stabilized oxygen to immediately render the alkalinity harmless to humans."

Contributing Editor Zane Barnowski in the October 1988 issue of Health Freedom News wrote: activated oxygen "...products are made primarily of chlorine, sodium and water, with extra oxygen stabilized in the water. This is done by replacing chlorine and/or sodium ions with oxygen molecules. This allows the water to carry larger amounts of oxygen in its whole, stabilized, O2 state. The amount of chlorine in these solutions is small and easily excreted." James Lembreck, D.C.H., C.M.P. wrote in Natural Physique: "Activated oxygen is often confused with hydrogen peroxide, but has a very different action and is very safe to use. The product was originally developed by Dr. William F. Koch, M.D. and Ph.D., and was later used by N.A.S.A. for the space research program. It was originally designed to destroy any known bacteria or virus and not harm the host when taken internally or used externally."

Stabilized ACTIVATED OXYGEN:

Page 43: Oxygen Parlour

Stabilized Activated Oxygen is based on the dissolved molecular oxygen (as O2) formulation instead of the salts of oxygen formulations. It is well-established that in normal standing or free-flowing water, oxygen molecules (O2) may also be dissolved. While the concentration of O2 in these instances is small, (normally from 7-20 parts per million/ppm,) nevertheless, water is capable of holding these molecules in their bio-available state. During its proprietary manufacturing processes, Stabilized Oxygen actually creates stabilized oxygen molecules rather than bonding oxygen molecules to various salts. Stabilized Oxygen is packed with dissolved oxygen in both its diatomic form (O2) and as ozone (O3). Stabilized Oxygen supplies the blood stream and the cells with additional oxygen. We have already shown that without a dependable supply of oxygen, the cells in our bodies cannot function properly. Nutrients, occurring in our diets as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, must have oxygen present to convert their potential energy into usable energy. In order for new cells to be formed, hundreds of amino acids must link together using oxygen as the source of their building energy.

OXYGEN STARVATION

Our bodies are now experiencing oxygen starvation on a daily basis. The following factors

Page 44: Oxygen Parlour

rob oxygen from our bodies:

Toxic Stress ... Whether derived from the water we drink, the air we breathe or the food we eat, we are now subject to over 70,000 different toxic contaminates, many that did not exist a decade ago. Oxygen is required for the body to even attempt to metabolize and eliminate these lethal chemicals from the body.

Emotional Stress ... Adrenaline and adrenaline-related hormones are created by the body during emotionally stressful times (like every day for many of us). The body must use its available oxygen to metabolize these chemicals back out of the body to reestablish metabolic balance.

Physical Trauma & Infections ... Bacteria and viruses can put tremendous stress on the body's immune system. When this occurs, the immune system is robbed of the oxygen that is necessary for the body's normal metabolic functions.

Reduction in available atmospheric oxygen ...

Page 45: Oxygen Parlour

Studies reveal that increased environmental pollution and "green plant" destruction has reduced the amount of oxygen (by as much 50%!) in our atmosphere over the last 200 years.

Improper Diets ... Saturated fats can reduce oxygen in the blood stream. Foods with high fat contents and low nutrient values, (i.e. junk and highly-processed foods,) have less than half of the oxygen content than do foods containing complex carbohydrates.)

Lack of Exercise ... Exercising increases the body's metabolic rate as well as the intake of oxygen to help cleanse the body of built-up toxins. A sedentary lifestyle reduces the body's ability to process out toxic contaminates and to perform normal metabolic functions.

Stabilized Oxygen

For years, alternative health care professionals have developed and provided natural therapies

Page 46: Oxygen Parlour

for healing and well-being. Oxygen alternative approaches to health have been used effectively by these professionals, as reported in over 5,000 published articles, for over 100 years!

Stabilized Oxygen is a nutritional alternative approach to better health in the form of a remarkable activated oxygen supplement.. Stabilized Oxygen is primarily absorbed into the blood stream through the stomach and the intestinal lining. Once in the blood stream, the oxygen will make its normal journey to the cells in the body.

WHO SHOULD USE Stabilized Oxygen ?

The answer is quite simple. Any individual who is interested in a holistic approach to health and wellness, (that is, preventing health problems instead of curing them once they occur,) will benefit from using Stabilized Activated Oxygen. Our bodies require a consistent supply of oxygen to function properly.

Have you ever experienced the scent of a fine perfume ?

What about the succulent aroma of a gourmet meal or freshly ground coffee ?

One of the most powerful and influential human

Page 48: Oxygen Parlour

senses is our sense of smell. For thousands of years, man has used fragrances to subtly alter his moods and emotions. Scents can make us feel relaxed, energized, happy, and even sensual. We have combined pure O2 along with aromatherapy People worldwide are spending as much as 3 times the price of a gallon of gasoline to drink the equivalent of pure bottled water.

Why not breathe purer air and receive the benefits of all natural aromatherapy?

American researchers Dr. Richard Axel and Linda B. Buck shared the 2004 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their work on the sense of smell-showing how, for example, a person can smell lilac in the spring and recall it in the winter. Their genetic work revealed a family of "receptor" proteins in the nose that recognize odors, and they illuminated how the odor information is transmitted to the brain.

The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute said the sense of smell "helps us detect the qualities we regard as positive. A good wine or a sun ripe wild strawberry activates a whole array of odor receptors." Axel and Buck clarified the intricate biological pathway from the nose to the brain that lets us perceive and recognize smells. A whiff of an odor brings a mix of different molecules into the nose, where each molecule activates several odor receptors. This pattern of activation is

Page 49: Oxygen Parlour

interpreted by the brain, letting people recognize and form memories of about 10,000 diverse odors, the Nobel Assembly said. The use of oxygen with aromatherapy is like smelling the roses a hundred fold! The combination of oxygen and aroma essence is commonly referred to as "oxygen enriched air." Meaning we use the oxygen to propel and project the aroma essence similar to smelling the roses 100 fold.

Since the time of Cleopatra, people have used aromatic botanical essences (essential oils) to enhance the surroundings as well as promote health. Today we can all experience the abundant and profound influence of essential oils on our lives. Essential oils when combined with oxygen stimulate the senses and begin to alter ones mood or condition in positive ways. Science is just now rediscovering the power of aromatherapy through essential oils, the lifeblood of the plant kingdom. Health practitioners contend that when essential oils are inhaled with oxygen the life force of the body is stimulated to conditions of tranquility, harmony, invigoration and an overall feeling of being refreshed. The theory is that aroma signals the part of the brain that control emotions. Research has shown specific smells produce physical effects within the body. That is why We use aroma essences for our clients so they can literally fit the smell to the mood they wish to achieve.

We uses essential oils formulas made from 100% natural therapeutic grade oils. They have been meticulously selected

Page 50: Oxygen Parlour

from many regions around the world and handcrafted by master aroma therapists. Essential oils are derived from non-man made sources such as flowers, leaves, roots and seeds to name a few. The oil of these natural substances is steam distilled from the source to maintain purity content. Our aroma essences are steam distilled and pure concentrates extracted from seeds, flowers, leaves, skin and roots of the plant kingdom from around the world. One drop of our essential oil is often equal to one ounce of the plant.

Inhale the oxygen, the mist and the aromas and feel the energy from inside out as the purity of oxygen fills you to the very core.

Aromatherapy Oils

Page 51: Oxygen Parlour

Aromatherapy is a method of using the aromatic oils which have been distilled from plant sources to engender a feeling of well being both physically and psychologically. Safe and correct use has been shown to benefit the physical and mental well being.

There are many aromatherapy oils which are used in the art of aromatherapy and these are too lengthy to list here. However, there are many benefits to be had from aromatherapy oils but you need to understand that there can be some drawbacks for use in aromatherapy although many people say there are greater benefits.

There are two ways in which essential oils are used in aromatherapy. These are by inhalation and by application to your skin.

Inhaling aromatherapy oils is where the vapor given off by the oil is inhaled into the lungs. This is thought to incite the brain and cause it to trigger a reaction to the oil. It is also thought that there is a physical well being by breathing the

Page 52: Oxygen Parlour

vapors directly into the lungs.

The other method of using aromatherapy oils in is by application to the skin. It is thought that when oil is applied to the skin it is absorbed into the blood stream and is useful for many health, beauty and hygiene conditions.

Another way that aromatherapy oils can be used is to act as an insect repellent. We are all familiar with the use of citronella in candles. We find these excellent as a way of keeping bugs at bay.

The term aromatherapy is a fairly recent phrase first thought to have been used in the 20th century but the practice of aromatherapy has been around for well over 1000 years.

The Egyptians are thought to have developed a way of distilling oil from cedar wood and the Chinese have used plant and herbal incense from a very long time which they burned to give a feeling of well being.

Page 53: Oxygen Parlour

René-Maurice Gattefossé, A Frenchman, is first thought to have used the term aromatherapy after he supposedly treated a nasty burn with the nearest liquid to hand which turned out to be oil distilled from lavender. This wound healed quickly and it left no scaring. This started his in-depth research into essential oils.

We are now becoming more aware of natural products after we have relied on synthetic drugs for many years and aromatherapy is growing in popularity. Most of us prefer to use natural products, such as aromatherapy oils, to sooth and heal our minds and bodies. Gattefossé would have said, Long Live Aromatherapy, but he would have said it in his native French. Using essential oils for aromatherapy is natural and is an excellent way to help calm and sooth our troubled 21st century lives.
