Oxygen is the key to good health. The ability to think and act, how one feels, all body activities from brain function to elimination, in fact, are regulated by oxygen. The more oxygen we have in our system, the more energy we produce. Good health and well-being are extremely dependent on the production, maintenance, and flow of energy. This energy is produced by oxygen. Sedentary lifestyles, poor nutrition, stress, breathing of pollutants, and lack of exercise all contribute to low oxygen levels in our cells. This lack of oxygen worsens our health and makes us more vulnerable to disease by allowing waste products (toxins) to accumulate. The body becomes a breeding ground for harmful viruses and microbes.

Oxygenating yourself is one way you can help maintain the integrity of your body. Flooding the body with oxygen helps to remove these toxic residues, promoting healing and better health. It is a whole-body treatment for detoxifying and stimulating the immune system.

"The fundamental cause of all degenerative disease is hypoxia — oxygen starvation at the cellular level. Cancer and other degenerative diseases cannot survive in an oxygen-rich environment."
-Dr. Otto Warburg, the only two-time Nobel Prize Winner for Medicine (1931, 1944).

Activated Oxygen also know as O3, is a super-charged form of oxygen, much more powerful than O2. The extra molecule acts as a scavenger picking up toxins and other harmful substances in the body that one should not have and oxidizes (eliminates) them.

What Does Activated Oxygen Do?

• Inactivates viruses; oxidizes bacteria, yeast, fungi, parasites, protozoa, cancer cells
• Stimulates the immune system, speeds healing
• Cleans arteries and veins, improving circulation
• Purifies the blood and the lymph
• Oxidizes toxins, facilitating their excretion
• Normalizes hormone and enzyme production
• Reduces inflammation
• Reduces pain, calms nerves
• Prevents shock
• Prevents stroke damage
• Reduces cardiac arrhythmia
• Improves brain function and memory
• Scavenges free radicals
• Chelates heavy metals, working well in conjunction with EDTA
• Stimulates production of protective cell enzymes

Activated Oxygen Benefits for Athletes

• Increases tissue oxygenation
• Increases production of ATP, resulting in more energy and faster recovery
• Delays the onset of anerobic fermentation of sugar in the cell, reducing lactic acid buildup
• Oxidizes lactic acid, helping prevent sore muscles
• Reduces swelling, bruising, and pain from injuries and speeds healing
• Prevents and treats colds and flu and builds up immunity
• Eliminates need for antibiotics, protecting intestinal flora
• Increases hormone production to optimum levels, eliminating need for artificial steroids

Steam Cabinet Method

This is the most common method that we use at Z Therapy. The person sits in an ozone-resistant steam cabinet, with the head out, and the body surrounded by warm steam. The steam causes the pores to open fully and the activated oxygen, introduced into the cabinet by silicon tubing from the generator output, can penetrate fully into all the tissue – the blood, the lymph and the fat. Since the majority of toxins are held in the lymph and the fat, this method is the most effective way to eliminate them from the body. Since the skin is the largest organ of elimination, the majority of the toxins are sweated out, sparing the liver and kidneys most of the extra work.

Hyperthermia itself is a very effective technique, many thousands of years old, recommended by Hippocrates. It results in a "false fever" reaction, which simulates the body’s own defense mechanism. With the addition of activated oxygen, the treatment becomes doubly powerful. As the toxins are oxidized, and eliminated from the body, the fat containing them is no longer needed, and also leaves. Weight loss of 30, 40, or 50 lbs over a period of months has been reported. The skin becomes smooth, soft and free of blemishes. Symptoms of a whole host of diseases disappear as the toxins leave the system and the body is enabled to heal itself.

Oxygen is the most vital element required for human life and it is the key to good health. We can survive without water for a week and go without food for a month, but we can only live a few minutes without oxygen. Oxygen is the life-giving, life-sustaining element. All body activities require oxygen. Through oxidation, the body generates heat and energy from its fuel, and disposes of wastes and microbes.

Our bodies are two-thirds water. Since the water in our bodies is itself 8/9 oxygen by weight, we are therefore composed of nearly 60% oxygen.

The best way to optimize health is to oxygenate every cell in our body. The more oxygen we have in our system, the more energy we produce, and the more efficiently we can eliminate wastes. Good health is dependent on the production, maintenance and flow of energy, which is produced by the oxidation of sugar. Oxidation is central to metabolism, circulation, respiration, digestion, assimilation and elimination. Oxygen purifies the blood, keeping it free of cellular waste buildup. Sufficient oxygen allows the body to rebuild itself and maintain the immune system. The basic requirements for each cell are sugar, amino acids, minerals, hormones, enzymes and oxygen.

The Cause of Disease

The link between insufficient oxygen and disease has been firmly established. Insufficient oxygen can result in anything from mild fatigue to life-threatening disease.

Dr. Otto Warburg said, "Cancer has only one prime cause. The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of normal oxygen respiration of body cells by an anerobic (oxygen-less) cell respiration."

Once the level of oxygen available to a cell drops below 40% of normal, the cell is forced to switch to an inferior method of energy production – fermentation. The cell then loses its governor on replication. It produces ATP that is inferior in quantity and quality, and its wastes are lactic acid and carbon monoxide. The acidity surrounding it can be the trigger for T-cells to release enzyme growth factors. Stimulated by EGF, the anerobic cell begins to replicate wildly, a condition we call cancer. If a parasite is involved in the area, the acidity is greater and the cancer growth even more rapid.

Dr. Warburg pointed out that any substance that deprived a cell of oxygen was a carcinogen, if the cell was not killed outright. He stated in 1966 that it was useless to search out new carcinogens, because the end result of each one was the same, cellular deprivation of oxygen. He further stated that the incessant search for new carcinogens was counter-productive because it obscured the prime cause, lack of oxygen, and therefore prevented appropriate treatment.

How often should I use Activated Oxygen?

While everyone’s condition (and toxic load) varies, its difficult to determine how many you will actually need. You should feel results after the first session (many experience a feeling of well-being, relaxation, and more energy) and its best to start by flooding the body with oxygen on a daily basis. We suggest trying 5 daily consecutive sessions and then taper off to 3 times a week. With 20 sessions the body has eliminated a majority of toxins in most people. Maintenance levels of one session a week should help you to continue to feel your best as we continue to exist in a toxin-laden environment.
