The body cells function by burning glucose in the oxygen to provide energy, and the waste products are carbon dioxide and water. If there is insufficient oxygen at the cellular level, the burn will be incomplete, resulting in the carbon monoxide and lactic acid formation. A build up of carbon monoxide prevents hemoglobin from picking up fresh oxygen and lowers the body temperature. Excess lactic acid in the system will clog the nerve pathways eventually calcifying and causing degeneration. If there is insufficient oxygen, toxins will build up and the blood will carry a heavy load of sludge and toxins with a build up in body fat.
Degenerative disease can be the end result.
The body must absorb the nutrients and utilize the oxygen for it to function properly. The body reverts to a lower function level when there is lack of oxygen. At this level it also causes a breakdown of cell tissues, disease and other health related problems. Insufficient oxygen also causes subnormal body temperatures. The abundance of oxygen creates better health and well being.
